Thick fabric, short
Oversized and thick fabric that doesn't lay flat. Way too short for this tall girl.

Separate pieces and puff below waistband
I wasn't expecting this to be two separate pieces which are still oddly connected to each other. In addition, the skirt immediately begins to puff out right below the waist band which gave me an odd shape.

Compliments but...
Sleeves were way too short for me. I'm a long & tall gal and this just wasn't great. It looked awesome though.

Fun in full coverage
Wore this for a date night and loved the fit. It was just perfect for me. It's a bit out of my usual so I would not purchase but will definitely rent again.

Perhaps petal pushing on tall ladies
The waist fit fine and I knew theee were more of a cropped fit but they were too short for my liking. I went with it and wore a few times.

Tight fit
I didn't wear this, it was too tight of a fit for my preference. I was hoping for a casual throw on dress but the tight fit just made it not as bearable for an all day feel.

Worked great for my long legs with flats. Wore with matching jacket. Pants were fine. Nothing super exciting but at my height just happy to find pants long enough.

Wore with matching pants for a formal box event. Appreciated the button options and would say it's TTS. Nothing amazing but a good choice. Wore in DC in November and was perfect for that weather.

Longer sleeves
I'm tall so the longer sleeves on this worked well for me. This was just ok for me, nothing great to say. The stock photos show model wearing with nothing underneath but at my size and bust size that was not a possibility.

High slit
This was a little tight but not terrible. Definitely wouldn't want to wear it all day but I already knew I was pushing it a bit for the size ordered. My only complaint is that the slit goes quite high up. I wore to a casual work thing and felt a bit uneasy about that decision.

Fun but cropped
I'm tall so this was pretty short on me but paired with some high waisted pants and barely tucked in to make it work and not look like kids clothes. It's a super dark gray but has some lovely detail that almost goes unnoticed because of the color.

Constantly checking buttons
Rented this with the matching skirt. Overall fine - thin material, no wrinkles. Survived 4 he flight and looked great for dinner that night. But geez the buttons would constantly come undone. I had a nervous tick of continually checking them. The last time I wore this open as a jacket and that made it so much better.

Versatile and great with matching top
Wore this several times. Loved that it looked dressed up but felt super comfy and was easy to pair. Wore once with matching top and a skinny belt and another time used the matching top as a jacket. Fabric is thin so not warm but does not wrinkle. Made it to a work dinner after wearing this for my 4 hr flight before.

A mini rebellion for the 40+
I laughed at the name raver pants. Felt a bit rebellious wearing these to work. They are quite big and boxy but also nice material and fine for the office. They are very thick and warm.

Better than average dress
Fit was tight but not too tight. Nothing some spanx couldn't smooth out but the bust was gaped at times (but I'm pretty large there). Wore this to church and the office easily.

Long is legit long
As a 6ft tall lady I rarely get to say this - wow, I rented the long length and this was so long I really needed heels to pull it off. Dress was ok, not my fav but nothing I really disliked about it.

Wore as a swim cover up
I really didn’t expect to like this as I’m not a dainty small person. I was very surprised that this fit my tall, athletic, busty self. I wore this on a cruise as a swim cover up to go into restaurants and it was perfect. Maybe a bit thick to pull off as a cover up in the dead heat of summer but great now or in the spring.

Easy day dress
Wore this many times as I could easily pull it on and go. Wore to work, traveling, anywhere. I liked how the fabric isn’t thick but does pull down to lay against you. Like others some of the side straps were kind of weird and I didn’t really know what to do with them but I just tied them loosely. I loved the straps around the waist, some days I tied in front and other days in the back. Made it fun and playful.

Really enjoyed this formal gown for a dress up night on my cruise. The high - low made it fun and felt sexy. I’m a tall, busty size 14/16 and this fit perfect but no room to spare.

Not for the large busted ladies
Couldn’t even get this over the girls. Liked the color and pattern but was already stressing over the lack of real straps and how to hide my bra straps. Didn’t and couldn’t wear.

Cute but thin
Cute asymmetrical cut and pattern. Rented for a winter tropical vacation but decided to return without wearing as it is just very thin. I could have made it work but wanted to find something I loved more. Might try it again in the hot Texas summer. Fit was TTS.

Great, light RR dress
Enjoyed this dress, felt like sizing and fit are true for this brand. On my large bust, the buttons gapped and pulled which I didn’t like. Had to wear a cami under.

Wide spacing in straps
The straps on this dress are frustrating. I couldn’t find the right bra that would hide under those straps (placed very far out on shoulders) and just only wore this as a swimsuit cover.

Loved this long summery dress
I wore this dress a number of times - church, date nights. Fit me really well (athletic build, large bust) and I’m tall and the length was great. Others mentioned it was too sheer but I didn’t feel that way at all.

Nice, Easy, Pockets
Easy fit and enough glam to be not boring but not too much for work. Really loved the pockets. The sleeves were annoying. I had to pull them down frequently as I have large pythons around my arms. Would rent again for sure.

Absolute Love
I just love this dress. Ended up buying it. Fit like a glove, for my size 16 body. Does require some good spanx for me to smooth it out. The buttons with their fabric and pattern even when they do gap open like with sitting, are not noticeable. I’m tall and this hangs well and I just can’t say enough good things about it.

Different and Fun
I rented this on a whim. I had low expectations and this is not really my style. I was super wrong. Ended up really loving this skirt. I needed something to match a green T-shirt and went with this and it fit super easy and was really cute. I’d definitely rent this again and actually try to wear it more. It would be super fun for St Patrick’s day.

Super short for tall gals
This was just meh. I figured maybe I’d wear it as a swimsuit coverup if it was too short. It really was SO short. I could not bend over without exposing the world. Even my husband gave it a thumbs down and he has been well consulted to keep his mouth shut.
