Beautiful fabric - too tight in the chest
I'm a 40c - usually a size 12 but should have gone up a size

No shape, runs big
I just couldn't get this dress to work for me. The belt loops were strange to me. The dress itself has so much material that I couldn't get it to not look like a tent.

Stands out because of the color
Loved the color but it really doesn't have much shape. The pull strings help, but next time I will go down a size.

Felt young and fashionable
I loved this sweater. I wore it with black knit pants and black top and also dark blue jeans and black ankle boots. It's heavy, but not too heavy. It does run big, so I would size down next time.
Flag Varsity Cardigan
Tommy Hilfiger
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"

Nice drape
I really liked this dress. It's very fitted across the rib cage area and has a side zip. The fabric flows well and looks expensive.
Blue Floral Dress

Lots of material
I love Derek Lam 10 Crosby dresses but this one was a miss for me. Too much material around the skirt made me feel 10 pounds heavier. Also didn't love the placement of the belt. I have an apple shape and I felt it made by belly more pronounced.

Pockets are attention grabbing
It's a personal preference, and honestly should have realized how it would look from the photos. It's also cropped, but I'm short waisted so it wasn't too short for me.

Okay - needs a belt
I liked the material and the weight. You need shapewear underneath if you have any type of belly.

Thin t-shirt like material.
I really wanted to love this dress, but just couldn't pull it off. Too thin and clingy for me. I didn't love the skeleton like pattern. Just not my style.

Beautiful
I love this dress. A great fit and material is wonderful. The slit adds a nice touch to make it less matronly. Considering buying it, but the whole reason I'm doing RTR is switch up my wardrobe and try different things. I'll definitely rent again.

Rent it!
This dress is amazing. I had so many compliments all night. I used body tape along the side breast area to keep them in check. There's a lot of stretch, I likely could gave worn the size 10. I wore 2 inch heels and they worked great. The dress is longer in the back.

Obviously high quality
Loved this sweater. Wore it over a spanx style cami only because I didn't want to wear without something underneath. I got several compliments on it. The colors make it perfect for autumn/winter. Will definitely rent again.

The Zip Front Cardigan
The Great.
Size Worn: 3
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 160lbs
Bust: 38C
Great quality
This was a lot of fun to wear and was a conversation starter on several occasions. (Glad I knew at least the name of the quarterback!) It's heavier than a sweatshirt and runs a little big making it too thick to tuck in. I ordered an extra large because I wanted it loos, I'll order a large next time.

Gorgeous but a bit heavy
The material is beautiful. The fabric is a bit heavy. I ended up going with another dress so I didn't wear this one.

Apple shaped girls beware. The waist area has no give. The fabric is beautiful and I really wish I could have worn it.

Empire waste so flattering
I carry a lot of weight in my belly and empire style dresses tend to work well. This one was no exception. The material was lovely. Very silky feeling. I didn't really love the pattern itself, but it's so small that it doesn't matter. I didn't have a chance to wear a short sleeve dress due to the weather. Will rent again.

Nice fall/winter dress
I loved this dress. The sleeves are very tight with an elastic type material, but I actually loved that. A little bit of a drop waste which with a poochy belly I thought might not work, but it actually was slimming. Would definitely rent again.

Cute top
I got an xtra large because that's what was recommended (I usually wear a large due to bra size). Should have gotten a large- maybe a medium. Runs a little big.

Love the length. I'm 5'3 (ish) and they skimmed my ankles. Wore with loafers and the looked great.

It's fine
Honestly, I rented it because it's such an expensive dress. It's nice and heavy, but nothing special really. I wore it with an oversized black blazer because I was self conscious about my stomach area pooching out.

Dropped waist is flattering
The dropped waist and paisley material totally gives an 80s vibe - in the best way. Much more flattering than I expected based on my apple shape. Will definitely rent again.

Shoulder pads!
I am an 80s girl, so the shoulder pads gave me flashbacks to Donna Mills from Knot's Landing (iykyk) in the best way. The sleeves were a bit long so I cuffed them. Very heavy.

Beautiful dress but tight across bust
I loved this dress and wish I could have worn it but it was too tight across the bust. I wear a 38 C for reference. The drape is gorgeous.

The neckline just didn't work for me
I wanted so badly to love wearing this dress. The material feels like thick textured linen. I loved how the skirt flowed and the pattern is so much cuter in person. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get comfortable with the low neck line and so much of my chest exposed. The cap sleeves are cute but for me just didn't provide enough structure (slipped down off my shoulder) and coverage.

So striking!
I loved this material so much. I thought it was going to be a little "plain" despite the pattern, but it's really lovely on. The weight of the fabric makes it hang well on your body and hides the fact that it has pockets. I love pockets in dresses, but they often are too noticeable. Will rent again.

I got a lot of compliments on this dress. It was heavy but that made it hang well.
I ordered a 16W because the 14 and 16 were unavailable. It was a little big, but it was very comfortable. I usually wear a 14.
