Cute, easy breezy dress
Very light and flattering sundress. Great for a stroll around a beach town in the summer! Runs true to size.

Kind of bulky and not very off the shoulder
This dress is pretty heavy and bulky. I got it in a small, but maybe an XS would have been better. I thought in the bigger size, the off the shoulder neckline would really work well, but it still barely went off the shoulder. It was more like a boatneck. I would think this would be even more true in a smaller size, but at least it would be less bulky.

Cute but runs small
This stop is very cute but runs small, particularly if you are at all busty. Color, fabric, and design are great, but it cut cuts in very tightly under the arms.

Very cute and stylish!
I loved this stylish jacket, as did my bf! Fit true to size and looked fantastic with dark jeans and heels. One thing to keep in mind, this jacket/top is very warm. I wore it in a restaurant that was a little warm and I felt really hot. So make sure not to wear it somewhere that will be hot.

Cute but a little bulky
The color of this top is really pretty and I like the style. Based on reviews, I went with S instead of XS, but I think that was a mistake. It made for too much fabric around the waist. When I tried to tie it tighter, it only made it look even bulkier. I will probably rent it again in a smaller size.

True to size linen shorts
Based on the pictures, I thought these shorts were going to be a bit more structured and substantive, but they are light, wispy linen shorts. Being linen, they wrinkle instantly. Fit is true to size.

Cute color but a bit large and shapeless
I like these Thakoon Collective slip dresses, but this one runs larger and is more shapeless than the others. They usually are loose and airy, but still give some sense of your shape. This one is more like a potato sack. That said, the color is very pretty, so I may try it once more going down a size.

Cute cold weather dress
This was a cute option for a party on a cold night. It is not the thick, heavy material one usually finds with Herve Leger in the bandage dresses. This is much thinner and lighter, so it doesn't have quite the gut sucking ability of the thicker dresses. ;) Still very cute and I liked it, but I would have liked to be held in like Leger dresses usually do.

Very pretty jacket that looked elegant on
Loved this coat! I wore it one time, dressed down with ripped jeans and a cream cashmere sweater and then a second time dressed up with black leather pants, a fitted black sweater and stiletto boots. Got tons of compliments with both looks. I did find the coat ran large. I'm usually a 2 but sometimes a 0 depending on the brand. This 2 was quite big on me, so I would definitely size down if you are even close to being between sizes.

Ok not great. Odd silhouette.
The orange color was fun and bright and the silk fabric was light and lovely. Aside from that, the silhouette was kind of odd. It was kind of big and balloon-y on the top, then nipped in for a very small waist, then with the ruffle out around the hips it looked big again. When I stood sideways my waist looked really tiny but overall the puffiness of the top and bottom just looked kind of odd on me. Perhaps the top would look better on someone with a smaller bust. Generally seemed to fit true to size.

Runs very small and shows A LOT of cleavage!
Fabric is lovely but I couldn't wear this dress because the cut of the front made me feel WAY too exposed. For an otherwise pretty, feminine, and kind of delicate dress the cleavage factor was out of control on me. Granted I am busty, so perhaps on a smaller chested woman it would not be as over the top as it was on me. As for the rest of the fit, you definitely need to size up. I am usually between a zero and a two and I got a four in this dress which fit well. (Aside from the bust issue I already mentioned. So in summary, size up and it will look better on a smaller busted woman.

So pretty and flattering!
I rented this dress for a trip to Vegas. When we boarded the flight the two flight attendants said, "wow! What a great dress! You look fantastic!" When we were exiting the plane they called me "the model". Definitely a sweet reaction! My boyfriend absolutely loved the dress too and said I should wear it more often, so this one is a definite winner in my book!!

Cute, simple work sheath in a lovely color.
Very pretty color on this simple work sheath dress. The depth of the v-neck was a bit borderline on me (right at the edge of what I was ok with wearing to a work event), but otherwise it was a nice, classic sheath dress. I am generally between a size 0 and a 2, and the 0 fit very comfortably in this dress. The 2 would have been too big. So if you are usually between sizes, I'd say go with the smaller one in this dress, but if you are always a specific size, I wouldn't suggest going down a full size. I'd say it runs about 1/2 a size large.

Wildly unflattering!
I rented this dress for meetings on a business trip. It arrived right before I left so I had to bring it without trying it on and hope for the best. Once I arrived and tried it on, it was unbelievably unflattering. On the positive side, the color was pretty. However, basically everything else goes in the negative column. The cut was HUGE in the waist/hips/bum (like literally 1-2 sizes too big), though the top fit ok. The arched seam design on the front makes it look like your belly and hips are enormous. It doesn't help that the arched seam on the front meets the side seams right at the hips and the way it's sewn makes this meeting point stick straight out right at the hips, adding the illusion of another inch on each side of the hips. Truly one of the least flattering dresses I've ever had on. There are many other nice colored sheath dresses on RTR that are infinitely more flattering than this one.

Runs small, so size up!
I rented this dress for a work party. I am usually between a 0 and a 2, so I got the 38. It was so snug it was like a second skin! I'd definitely recommend sizing up for this dress. The cut is very flattering. The neckline was right at the edge of what I'm comfortable with for a work party. It was low and the top edges of my bra kept peeking out, so I was continually tugging at the top. Great color and style. I would definitely consider renting it again, one size up.

Cute glasses. They made for a fun change from my usual shades!
These glasses were a fun, stylish departure from my usual shades. They are fairly small on the face (lens size) but still give decent coverage and sun protection. I found one side seemed to sit farther forward than the other side, but this may very well have just been me.

Stylish, body con, work appropriate dress
This dress was very stylish and figure flattering. I had originally rented it to wear to work, but the fabric was very different than I was expecting. I had thought it was going to be a thicker fabric, but it is very thin, t-shirt type material. In the end I decided not to wear it to work directly, but rather to a work dinner on a different day. It was cute and looked great on.

Great desk to date dress, but be careful of the opening in the front!
I loved this dress! Great color, cut, and fit. It was the perfect desk to date dress. I got compliments at work and from my date too! The only issue is the very high opening in the front. When you are just standing, it is fine. But when you walk or sit, the wrap front opens to rather scandalous heights! I used some double sided tape to hold it closed at the point where you see it cross in the picture and it was much better. This kept it work appropriate and I didn't have to worry when I was walking or sitting. A very cute dress!

Absolutely LOVED this coat! Totally stylish!
I got this coat with my Unlimited subscription and absolutely loved it! Originally I got it to wear to a theatre event with a group I used to work with. I paired it with a fitted black cashmere turtleneck and black leather pants and black stilettos. The look was so stylish and put together. I received tons of compliments! I ended up keeping the coat longer and repeating the look for an event with a different crowd the following week and got tons of compliments again!

Cute work appropriate dress with a bit of sex appeal!
I found this dress to be very stylish and flattering. I tend to be between a 2 and a 0 in dresses, usually leaning toward a 2. In this dress, however, I definitely should have sized down. If you are between sizes, go with the smaller. The 2 still worked and looked ok, but the smaller size definitely would have been more figure flattering. The dress is three colors - black, navy blue, and a dark royal blue. The material is thick like bandage dresses, though it is not tight like an Herve Leger. Cap sleeves and below knee length give it a conservative side, good for work, while the neckline and sheath silhouette add a bit of sexiness. (The neckline is not TOO low, but it is definitely right at the limit of what I am personally comfortable with for a work dress. All in all, a great choice, especially for desk to drinks!

So pretty but tight in the bust and huge in the waist
The neckline on the dress is gorgeous and the color is beautiful. Unfortunately the fit was completely off. The waist and hips felt more than a size too big while the bust was tight. I am curious to try a size down to see if the waist and hips would then fit, but fear the bust would be way too small. Will have to see. Hated sending this back with the tags still on! A really pretty dress.

Funky, fashionable top, great for a night out!
I wore this top to a Lady Gaga concert and received several compliments from friends on it. One fashionista in our group even knew immediately that it was Cushnie et Ochs! The neckline and sleeves were really interesting and gave the top some wow. (Sleeves also kept me warm on a cool evening!) The bodice I felt could have been a bit more fitted in the midsection. I felt like it was a little loose, adding the appearance of a bit of bulk there. Otherwise, a very cool piece.

Beautiful dress that runs on the small side of "true to size".
I am usually between a size 2 and a size 0. The last two dresses I reviewed, I needed the 0, but in this dress, if you are between sizes, definitely size up. I could not get the zipper all the way up around the bust/ribcage. Normally a size 0 may be tighter than I would like and I opt for the 2, but it's rare that I can't get the zipper closed just fine. This was one of those rare occurrences. That said, the fabric was lovely with a warm rose gold shine. Dress was an attractive midi length with a beautiful neckline for showing off the neck and shoulders. I will definitely rent this dress and try sizing up so that I can actually wear it!

Pretty color and style but ultimately couldn't wear it.
I rented this dress for a party, but sadly couldn't wear it. The neckline is, indeed low and moves around, but it's nothing a piece of fashion tape couldn't fix. For me the issues were with an odd seam across the abdomen that was pucker-y and I could not make lay flat with ironing. It was really distracting and unattractive. Secondly, I can usually wear most backless styles with a backless bustier, but this one cut in too much on the sides, making wearing even a cut in, backless bustier impossible. So sadly, this went back unworn.

Great cut and color but runs large.
This dress is really pretty and I was super excited to wear it to a work event. Unfortunately it definitely runs large. I'm usually a size 2, though occasionally will get a size 0 in some dresses. This one I definitely needed to size down. Sadly I couldn't wear it to my event because it looked way too big, but I will absolutely rent it again in the smaller size and I'm sure it will be great!

Pretty, classic dress, but runs large.
I rented this dress for an evening work party. The style is lovely and it's a classic midi length with an elegant off the shoulder neckline. The only problem for me was that it ran large. I'm generally a size 2 about 65-70% of the time and a size 0 about 30-35% of the time. Unless I see reviews that something runs large, I generally always go for the size 2. In this case it was brand new with tags still attached, so no reviews yet, but sadly it was definitely too big. Am sending it back unworn and will try the size 0 another time, as it really does look lovely.

Cute, fun, girly dress!
I loved wearing this dress. I needed something to wear to an event at Yankee Stadium and this dress was absolutely perfect! It was fun and feminine but still had some sexiness thanks to the body con bodice and short length. I found the fit to be true to size. I possibly could have sized down for the fit through the bodice but then I think it may have been too short. So I'd say the fit is true to size. A great dress!

I wore this dress to my friend's musical performance and received many, many compliments. It fits true to size and the blue is vibrant and lovely. The cut is also extremely figure flattering. I give it 4 stars only because the fabric felt thin and cheap to me, which I did not like. Besides that, the dress was really nice.

Wore this dress to my birthday party and received a million compliments!
This is a sexy/classy/edgy dress that got loads of attention and compliments. I was able to wear a backless bustier underneath it, which was great because it is definitely LARGE in the chest area. As someone with a 32DD chest, those are words I usually never have to say, but this dress was definitely gaping a bit at the chest, thus the 4 star rating. Otherwise, lovely!

I loved this dress and will be renting again!
This dress was beautiful! I got compliments all day long when I wore this dress to my board meetings. It is elegant and conservative enough for work while still being body con and making your figure look fabulous. I would say this dress runs small. I am usually between a 2 and a 0 and this 2 was definitely as small as I could possibly go in this dress. It doesn't have any real stretch, but is beautifully tailored to show off your curves. That said, it shows everything, so any bulges will not be hidden. So if you're between sizes, definitely size up and then rock this gorgeous dress!

Cute but runs LARGE
Pretty color and the off the shoulder detail was really lovely. Unfortunately it definitely ran large. I am between a 2 and a 0 (usually a 2), but the 2 was the smallest size available and it was way too big on me. The overall effect on me was kind of baggy and shapeless. Ended up sending it back without wearing, sadly. If it came in a 0 I think it would have looked really cute.

Runs true to size but arm holes are small.
I am usually between a 0 and a 2 in dresses. Since this one was only available in a 0 at the time I rented it, I gave that a try. I'd say it runs true to size in that it fit but I would be interested to see how the 2 fit to see which looked better. That said, the arm holes on this dress were very small and scratchy, so there was no way I could wear it. I'll look into renting the 2 another time, but would say if you are going to rent this dress and are between sizes, definitely size up.
