Size S/M
RTR may only have one size of this but the tag in the garment labels it as a small/medium. And this is true to size. I generally wear a large so I did not get the "over-sized" look I was hoping for based on the reviews. I have broad shoulders and a full bust and this top did not do me any favors. It is real fur - dyed rabbit fur- so it is very soft, inside and out.

Opera clutch for the opera.
I went to Chicago's Lyric Opera opening night and couldn't resist the Opera Clutch. It is so elegant. This is one I would have loved to keep. A very special piece. The handle is removable, but is the best part!

Interesting Style but Unwearable
Like others have said, the fit of these is way too big. They are unwearable. The slightest movement and they fall off the face. That said, these get two stars because of the style - unique and chic.

Classic but not for me
I usually wear a 10 or a 12 depending on the dress style due to the 36D. Based on other reviews I got the 14 and it was still too small. I think the trick to avoid flashing cleavage for days is that the wrap has to go all the way to the side seams on both sides. For me to do this with the 14, I had to pull it pretty tight and that showed every other lump and bump. This fabric is not forgiving if you have a little belly or giant spare tire (like me). I had to wear spanx and a slip to smooth everything out. A timeless dress, just not the best style for me.

Runs big
I am usually a 10 or a 12 depending on the designer so I rented the 48 which is the largest size (=US10). It was still too big - like a sack. But otherwise, I love the dress. When available, I will definitely get a size smaller. It is professional and stylish. Perfect for the office.

Cool girl chic
I styled this very similarly to the model photo. I didn't look anything like the model, but I still felt very cool-girl. It's such a unique coat - great for casual Friday. The fit is pretty true, maybe runs a bit big. I usually wear a 12 in dresses but can get away with 10's when it's a boxier or looser cut. I didn't snap it closed, but I could have without the pulling being too bad.

Gorgeous but too big!
Beautiful fabric and lovely details. I am usually a straight size 12, but with all the other reviews recommending to size down, I thought the 44 (US 10) would be perfect. It was still too big. I don't think you have to be tall and thin to wear this well, I just think you have to get the right size so the proportions make sense. I can't wait to rent this again in a smaller size. I didn't get to wear it for the original event, but I could wear it to work.

Looks good but is painful to wear
Very cute, great color. But like the other reviewers mentioned, my skin would get pinched inbetween the segments. Sometimes I wonder if anybody ever tests the designs before pieces like this are made. I like it, and wore it for a day, but I won't rent it again. It's not worth it.

Pan Am
The style, color, and material made me feel like a flight attendant. But it's simplicity also makes it a great backdrop for accessories. I wore it with the Kate Spade scallop necklace and it looked great. The fit was a little tight in the bust but that's not unusual for me. May rent again to showcase another interesting necklace.

Usual Size: 12

Whimsical and professional all in one
The dress is an unlined, printed neoprene with a canvas collar. The material is stretchy but there was plenty of room in the bust for my D cups. If you are smaller-busted, you may want to go down a size. The only "alteration" I made was to fold under the cuffs to shorten the sleeves to bracelet length - they were a little long on me and this tweak lightened the whole look. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the seams are itchy. I noticed it the most in the sleeves and at the waist. It's a little annoying but not too bad. One corner of the collar kept popping up even after I tried ironing it, but other than that no complaints. It's a dress that makes people smile and I received multiple complements at the office. I will probably rent this one again.

Beautiful fabric - unique style
The tag says 100% cotton, but if I didn't know, I would think it's wool or even a cashmere blend. It's the nicest cotton knit I've ever worn (although the garment I received is starting to pill). I only gave it 3 stars because it's not very flattering on me - I have a large bust and this top is a little tent-y. Sizing down might add a little shape around the waist but I don't think I'll try this one again. As other reviewers have mentioned, the side slits are high, they go up to the natural waist, and if you have a larger bust, the ruffle will start higher on your torso than it does on the model. I think this is just one of those styles that are more suited to a flatter chest or a more slender frame. I wore it with brown pants to work, but it looks great with skinnies.

An odd fit - almost seemed like a mistake
I liked the print and the style, although the side slit is high (the placement is very flattering). I typically wear a 10 or a 12 depending on the fit in the bust. Per the stylist notes, the bust has plenty of ease so I thought I could get away with the 42 (on Carven's web site a Fr 42 = US 10). The dress is very big on top, with a teeny tiny waist and an average skirt (although short). Just oddly proportioned and it didn't look good on me (even if I sucked in enough to keep the snaps in place). I have broad shoulders and narrow hips (inverted triangle), so not a good look. The thick fabric emphasized my wider upper half. If I get a chance I'll add a photo but it might be PG-13 without fashion tape to hold the wrap top together.

Elevates anything you wear it with
This necklace instantly elevated my tired uniform of sweater and wide-leg trousers. You honestly can wear this with anything from jeans and a tee to a formal gown. I saw past reviewers saying the necklace looks worn. It's true it's not as bright as the online photos depict, but it has a patina - like a vintage piece. I love it and will definitely rent again. I have so many ideas for this necklace.

Cute but not right for me
This dress has a very easy fit. I'm almost always a large (sometimes xl depending on the style) and I was swimming in the large. I'm 5' 6" and the large came down to the top of my knees so not as short as on the model. As far as style, it's a cute dress and has pockets. The background color is gray and was a bit darker than I expected based on the photos. I might try it again in a smaller size.

I loved this dress
I wore the 12, probably could have worn a 10. The fit is easy and a little boxy, but in a good way. The snaps on the top are too delicate for the heavier fabric so they do pop open with any movement. I used fashion tape between the snaps to help with this. The snaps are the only reason this didn't get 5 stars from me. I loved the style, fit, and material. The color is a true camel color. On my screen it looks a little lighter than it actually is. I also have much shorter legs than the model so it wasn't so mini on me. I will probably rent this again.

Fun and versatile
The fit was almost perfect. I wore it with a cropped black cardigan and it made my legs look loooooong. Very flattering. The wrap top is very loose and I also wore a cami underneath to keep it PG. Like other reviewers have said, it is a pain to get in and out of. There is a button on the inside front, a side zipper, and about five snaps above the zipper. Because I wore the cardigan, I didn't even bother with the snaps. I rented this just for fun, but ended up wearing it to work. It really is versatile and can be styled for just about any occasion.

More like a sweatshirt
Definitely runs small. I have broader shoulders, bigger arms and a full bust. (Inverted triangle). This was way too small to wear. Even if it fit, I'm not sure I'd like it. The white material is very lumpy and it's more like a sweatshirt than a jacket. Also, the style was a little too Michael Jackson for me.
