Simple
The dress is too simple, nothing to get too excited about.

Rib Sweater Dress

Not your typical white blouse!
I usually wear either a 2 or a 4. I rented the 4 because I’m aiming for an easygoing look. The cut and the sleeves are unique. The blouse can be dress up or down. It’s beautiful and interesting. The only con about it is the material is stiff and it wrinkles easily. Despite of this, I rented this again in a smaller size.

Comfortable but still sexy!
I love the print, the cut, and how forgiving this dress is. I recommend renting this, especially if you’re vertically challenged like me. 😄

Gorgeous color
I wore this at the airport for international travel. I usually wear a 2 or a 4 but I sized down to a 2 based on reviews that it runs large. To my surprise, the 2 was still big, especially in the belly area (and I don’t have a nice, slim, sexy belly area. 😝). However, the skirt is so cute and unique. The cut was perfect. I love it that it’s a two-way zipper so you can control how high you want the slit and how much skin you want to show. But the winning aspect of this skirt is the color.. it’s a beautiful eggplant purple. I love it so much I wore this multiple times during my vacation. I recommend renting and trying this out. But please size down 2 sizes. I will rent this again in a size 0.

Too simple
Material is thick and heavy. The cut is too simple; nothing special.

Crossover Midi Dress

Usual Size: 2

Preppy and youthful!
I felt like a cheerleader when I wore this dress. I only had the opportunity to wear it once, on a dinner date with my husband (and in-laws). The dress is TTS but a little tight on the waist. If you have a little bit of a belly, like everyone, you might want to size up. The waist has no flexibility at all. I usually wear 2-4 in petite and decided to go with a 4. The 4 was perfect! I would rent this again.

Unbelievably cute!
Romper is TTS except for the chest area. I’m 36B but I looked too busty in the outfit, which may or may not be a bad thing, depending on your mood. Romper is well made and I love the color! It’s very comfortable too!

Very average
Nothing special about this outfit. It’s not even worth taking a picture.

Size up!
I’m 5’1”, 106 lbs. and got a small. The outfit is just right on the top but very tight in the bottom. Unless you’re an inverted pyramid, my advice is to size up. This is also quite short, but very cute. The other problem I had with this that the padding was all bunched up and it smelled like gas. I think RTR should retire this one. I would rent it again, but next time, I’ll get a medium.

Rent this
The picture doesn’t do this outfit justice. In reality , the dress is so flattering and well made. I wore it at work and it so happened that it was job fair day and I got tons of compliments! It’s TTS and sexy without being slutty. 😉

Beautiful cut
This dress is conservative enough to wear at work and still sexy for a night out. The cut is so forgiving and flattering. I’m short and I find the dress the perfect length. I will definitely rent again for my future vacation. I’d like to mention that the zip has a sort of extension; so, it’s very easy to zip.

Love the cut and the material
I wore this at work and paired it with a coral blazer then that same day wore it at the airport and removed the blazer. I got plenty of compliments from coworkers, people at the airport, and those at the party. It’s so sexy without being too revealing!

Backless but very conservative
The fit is perfect. The color is beautiful. I wore it at work and used a light blue blazer to cover the back. I removed the blazer when I attended a dinner party that night. The little pleats in the belly area were actually flattering and hide some flaws if you have something to hide.

Bright and beautiful colors!
The cut and fit is superb but the dress is not flattering. I’m a 36B and it made my chest look flat. If you have a belly, it’ll accentuate it, I’m sure. The dress looks cute though.

I love the puff sleeves!
This was my first RTR outfit and my introduction to Ulla Johnson. The cut of this dress was simple but very flattering. I love, love, love the sleeves. I wore it at the airport and I got compliments from people I don't even know. I wore it at work (it's very work appropriate) and everybody wanted to know where I got it from. It is true to size; don't make the same mistake that I did. I usually wear a 2 and I asked for a 4 because I thought the waist might be too tight. It wasn't. That's why I had to put a belt. I'm short, but with heels, the length of the dress is okay; it's what I wanted. The dress is very conservative and can be worn even to church.
