Perfect winter glam!
I got LOTS of compliments on this for a black tie optional winter wedding - the sparkles were so fun and it was overall very comfortable! I'm rating it as four stars rather than five because the dress was definitely well loved - my RTR rentals almost always feel "newer" than this did, even wedding rentals.

Comfy luxe!
This was stretchy but also snug (there is no zipper if that matters to you at all). Could wear with or without a strapless bra. I felt comfy all evening and this hid spills pretty well as well, haha

True to size, stunning!
I really liked this and the color popped without being too loud. It had enough room in the arms/shoulders, which I sometimes struggle with on long sleeve dresses. Always love this brand and this dress is the exact reason why!

So beautiful!
I was a little worried about this skirt based on some of the other reviews but it was really flattering on me and fit true to size. Even though I'm petite it hit me at the perfect length and didn't make me look short and frumpy even when I wore it with flats. Wish I could buy!

Two Tone Pleated Skirt
TOME x RTR
Size Worn: XS

Fits amazing!
Got a ton of compliments on this and it fit my body like a glove. Definitely pretty heavy material with a quality lining, so it does NOT breathe at all and I wouldn't recommend it in super warm weather. Very very flattering for petites and it really elongates legs when worn with heels.

Comfortable but formal!
A really great romper because it looks very formal and dressy, but it's so comfortable and airy. The tie in the front is a little adjustable so I was able to tighten it and I feel very secure without a bra. The material is a very high quality. I liked that you could keep it pretty simple accessory-wise and it was still a standout in a crowd. My friend a few inches taller than me also borrowed this and it fit her great as well!

Like it was custom made for my body
Amazing dress, amazing color. Like several other reviewers I a) wore this in Miami and b) noticed that the zipper was an absolute beast to deal with. However, I loved how secure I felt without a bra- you can adjust the tie in front. Be careful in the wind because it will definitely fly up! But the cutouts hit in very flattering locations and it really makes you feel like you're wearing an extremely high end designer. I got compliments all evening, and the dress also photographs great.

Very comfortable!
The inside of the turtleneck felt like sweatshirt/hoodie material which was great for a cold day. The shirt itself isn't that thick but that inside made it super warm without the bulk. Only gave it 4 stars just because it wasn't anything super special and it didn't have any wow factor, but I didn't need anything super special.

Wonderful!
Got this romper on a whim and it was AMAZING!! It fit like it was made to fit my my body exactly and it was perfect for NYE in Aspen. The material was heavy so it was good for winter, and the cutout in the front is really flattering. Really high quality overall and I want to wear it again sometime soon!

Dressy yet casual
Wore this to my company's holiday party and loved it! I wore a cami under it because it was a little low rise. I would've liked a size smaller, but the length was great and I actually liked the shoulder pads. I wore some nike booty shorts under this just because I knew I would be moving around a lot, but I think since it's pretty conservative otherwise the mini length works.

The most expensive yoga pants you'll ever wear
As many of the reviews have said, these are definitely form fitting and feel like yoga pants. They'll of course be tight so I could see how people might be a little uncomfortable wearing them to the office, but they worked for me! I loved the slight crop- it was evident even in someone 5'3" so if you're taller they might be really short. There's no button/zipper so they were great for a long day of... sitting.

Versatile blazer
I love this blazer because I wore it to a business formal work setting, a business casual work setting (wore with jeans), and to dinner with friends and the blazer worked great for all occasions. If I rented in the future I think I would get a 2 for a more tailored fit, but it wasn't available at the time. Definitely true to size. Doesn't wrinkle. Really loved!

Oh my GOD I loved this
You cannot tell from the pictures online but this material is HEAVY. Like, so heavy that I wore this in the middle of November and I sweat a lot in it heavy. But other than that I loved that it was a little shorter than a lot of my work dresses- great for petite/shorter girls! I don't think I would've done this length at work without tights under it but again, it's a winter dress so that was fine. The waist for me snugly without being too tight and the arms are also just right.

Unique and eye catching!
Like other reviewers I ended up wearing a black cami underneath it because otherwise it would've been two low cut for work. I really liked this overall but let me tell you it is a BEAST to get all the wrinkles out. It came so wrinkled that I almost suspected it of not being dry cleaned beforehand - I knew RTR wouldn't let that happen but that's just how bad it was. Don't rent this unless you have the time to steam it for at least 15 minutes as it is very heavy fabric.

A dress I got compliments on all day long!
This dress falls under my absolute favorite category of dresses, which is "Makes Me Feel Like Kate Middleton." This dress fits like an absolute glove, & now I'm happy I know a 2 in LK Bennett is TTS, since many designers I end up being in between sizes. The material has no give at all so anyone with a larger chest may want to size up. The buttons are decorative too which is nice. Only negative is it wrinkles extremely easily so I had to pack my steamer to travel. Definitely want to rent again!

Winter wedding classic!
This dress fit me great through the body, but like many other dresses with sleeves, it was very tight for me in the back/shoulders/arms area. If you have an athletic/broad upper body area and are also bigger in the chest area, I would definitely size up. I was only able to wear the small because I have a pretty small chest so that balanced out my arm and shoulder struggles. I didn't find it very itchy and it was comfortable to dance in all night! I wore a strapless bra with it but you definitely don't have to - I just felt like I looked exceptionally flat chested without one.

Attention grabbing and comfortable!
This dressed caused a woman to feel the need to scream at me across four lanes of traffic, "OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR SWEATER!" I don't usually rent sweaters this bold but this one just called out to me and I'm so glad I got it. The small was definitely big on me so I paired it with leggings. I want to get an XS next time so it won't be quite as baggy and pair it with jeans. This is an extremely comfortably, high quality sweater that I wore on multiple occasions and got compliments every time.

Comfortable but unflattering
I know so many of the reviews for this dress are glowing but this dress just didn't do it for me. The entire back is stretchy material, but I think that's what caused it to be boxy and unflattering. If I rented this again, I'd probably go a size down. The dress was very comfortable and it didn't wrinkle easily, so that was a plus. Overall this dress kind of just looked/felt like it could've come from Target, and with so many amazing dresses on RTR this is one I wish I skipped.

Amazing black work dress
Hands down one of my favorite work dresses I've gotten from RTR. The amazing sleeves, both the shape at the top and the unique cut at the bottom, made this stand out from being any other black dress. One thing that I need to point out is there is no slit in the back! It forces you to shorten your steps and while it wouldn't deter me from renting it again, because I will, it certainly takes some getting used to! The material is also not stretchy at all, making the lack of a slit more noticeable.

So flattering!
This is one of my favorite pieces I've gotten from RTR. The dress was so slimming and flattering and the neck bow gave it some pop. For me, I have pretty broad shoulders/arms so while a size down would've worked in the sides/stomach region, there's no way it would've fit my upper body. Similarly, I think bustier women might struggle with this dress because the material does not give at all.

Subtle yet unique sweater
I wore this three separate times - twice to two separate work events and once for a more casual dinner. I got lots of compliments each time. The material is very high quality and it doesn't wrinkle easily, which is important to me because I travel for work and have to pack a suitcase every week. By the third wear it hadn't stretched out at all. It is pretty heavy so it was great for this time of the year and it will be a future rent come winter time.

Perfect use of my Unlimited subscription
This is the perfect example of why Unlimited is great- I am NOT an overalls person and still do not ever plan on buying them, but I took a risk on these and ended up getting a ton of compliments! The jeans were snug but not too snug, and the straps were easily adjustable. If this brand made these in a darker wash, I'd be eager to try them again.

Something different!
I really liked this dress- it was a standout dress but also simple at the same time. I'm 5'3" & with 4 inch heels it was the perfect length. If my heels were any shorter the dress would've been too long. I loved the open back, & I ended up wearing a backless bra, but only because of cold temperatures & not because I felt I needed support. It's heavy, good quality material. I feel like it borders on running small because the 2 was decently tight, but the 4 would probably have been too loose.

Unique and distinguished pants!
At the end of the day I would rent these again so obviously none of the small discrepancies are enough to prevent me from reordering. I ordered a size 2 R. Maybe it's just my build, but I thought they were loose in the waist while being pretty snug in the thighs/butt. I would be curious to see how a size 0 would work out for me, and if I rent them again that's probably what I'll get. If the 2 were the only size available I'd still get them!
