Beautiful but...
This dress is beautiful but the top portion and straps are a bit wonky. Unfortunately I was unable to wear this dress for my husband's business Christmas party because the size Small I ordered was replaced with a Medium. I ordered an XS and a S but received an XS and a Medium. The Small would have fit perfectly, but I could have gotten away with the XS or the Medium. The XS straps were just too tight because they hit in a weird spot on my shoulders (they are positioned farther out than normal camisole type straps) and the lining and dress seams were bulky and did not lay flat. The Medium was a tad bit too loose in the chest (I am small busted) but it would have worked OK with some fashion tape. Because the Medium was overall a bit too loose, it was baggy at my lower back and just looked to big on me because of it. I will certainly give this dress another shot in a Small. I was 127 lbs. at the time, 34B, 27" wait and 38.5" hips/butt, and I am 5'5."

Classy.
I bought this to have a staple black dress that is classy rather than sexy as I usually go for. This dress will be perfect for a wedding or work party where you need to keep your attire subtle. It fits well in all the right places and is very comfortable.

Just OK
I purchased this tunic sweater based on reviews of women my size who all indicated this ran big. It certainly does not on me and it fits almost like a petite instead of a regular. It is best for someone who is straight and narrow, not hourglass. Unfortunately, since this was a purchase I cannot exchange it but I would have been better off with a Medium simply due to the way it hangs and grips around my hips. The slit in the front is gaping much more than it should. I am going to be handing it down to my cousin who is about 5'2" so this will fit her perfectly and actually be a tunic.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I LOVE this dress! Received compliments all night long! Very comfortable, the material is substantial without being heavy. The pleated uneven bottom is simply fantastic and makes the dress unique. It could be styled with a black jacket and some black boots or fun booties for a more casual look, or with some glitzy jewelry and heels for a more dressed up look. I wore black sequined (green, red, silver) and beaded platforms and WOW did that elevate the dress! My husband thought I looked HOT, which is always nice to hear! I would definitely rent this dress again and am searching the internet so I can own it! I'm 5'5" and at the time I wore this dress my measurements were chest 34B (small busted though), waist 27" and hips/butt at biggest area 38.5" and I weighed in at 127 lbs. The dress hem hit me just a tad higher than mid-thigh but I would not consider it too short, it was actually a perfect length for my liking. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Not Quite Right...
I was very excited to rent this jumpsuit after reading all of the reviews and checking out the reviewers' photos. I ordered my normal size for Jill Jill Stewart and sized up to a 4R as my backup. The 2R was just too small overall, no way of wearing it. The 4R was too short in the torso (I’m considered "average"), very tight across my chest and dug into my shoulders. On top of that (I cannot remember if it was the 2 or the 4) the seam that went from the crotch to the waist seam in the front was crooked and looked terrible. I'm a 2/4 in almost every dress, so I was surprised that the 4R was too small considering the reviews of “true to size.” The pant length was perfect. I really liked the slit all the way up the leg, but unfortunately that is the only positive I can give this jumpsuit, which is disappointing.

Really Cool Dress!
I ended up wearing the other style I rented (Slate & Willow Cutout Hem Colorblock Sheath Size XS) simply because of the fit. This dress does not offer much stretch and it was very snug in a 4 (gorgeous though) and if I wanted to be somewhat uncomfortable all night, I would have worn it. I would say it runs true to size so next time I'll go with the size I have rented before in Elizabeth & James, which is a 6. I had been training and I got quite toned and a bit smaller, so I ordered down a size (I was injured and had to stop training so I went back to my normal size). Anyway, the dress is amazing and stylish, very well constructed and great quality. I will try to rent it again. I have an athletic curvy figure with 33" chest with small breasts, 27" waist and 38" at the biggest part of my butt/hips.

So comfortable!
This dress is definitely a winner! It is so comfortable because the material is really stretchy but thick and high quality. I will be renting this one again and hope to snag buy it if it ever goes up for sale! I am 5'5" with a 33" chest (small breasted) 27" waist and 38" around biggest area of butt/thighs. Dress fit like a glove, but again had a lot of stretch for comfort.

Really cool style!
I did not rent this dress as my main choice for a wedding, but it was a "special" upgrade if available. Something happened to my second size of the dress I did rent, so I received this dress in a 2 and 4 as my backups. What a nice surprise! The 2 and 4 both fit, and fit well, the 4 was just a little looser in the hips. The material is very substantial with a lot of stretch, and fully lined. Unfortunately, the size 4's bottom strap was torn away from the body of the dress, and I thought the dress might be a bit too warm for a September 2 wedding in Michigan. I decided to stick with the original dress I rented, a fuscia Jill Stewart strapless dress. I will be renting this dress for my husband's work Christmas party FOR SURE!

Beautiful!
This dress is a must rent! The material is nice, it's fully lined, and the top edge has silicon to help with slippage. It was very tight through the leg area so I had to take small steps and going up stairs was a little difficult but doable. I also had to take the dress down to go to the bathroom because I couldn't pull it up over my hips! Not a deal breaker. This particular dress either had a stretched out top, or it just allows for a larger cup size. Again, not a deal breaker! I would easily rent this again and hope it goes on clearance so I can buy it!

Casual comfort at its best!
This dress is very comfortable. The material is substantial and it is lined to mid thigh. The mesh panels on the side could show some side boob so be careful and maybe wear a racerback bra so straps don't show. Overall, this is a great summer dress for casual fun activities.

I saw this dress available for purchase in white with black stripes so I jumped on it! I saw this dress come up many times for rental in my choices, but never rented it because it was not what I was looking to wear to weddings. This is a great dress for anything, it can be dressed up or down. It definitely runs a little bit big especially given how much stretch there is. It is a great length, fully lined and the material is thick enough that I did not have to wear a bra.

Comfortable, Well Made Pants - Top is Awful
The pants are thick, jogger style pants with slash pockets. They are very comfortable and a perfect length for my 5'5" frame leaving no "bag" above the cuffs. LOVE the pants. The top is very chinsie (spelling) and thin. I will probably get rid of it. I was buying the set for the pants alone.

Great Dress...BUTT....
This dress is very simple yet sexy. The collar is not ivory as what it seems in the stock photos, but more of a light taupe "wood grain" style bead. It looks great, but I was under the impression the beads were more of an ivory or eggshell color. The material does not have any stretch, the length is perfect, but the hem is a tad too narrow even with the kick slit in the back. Now, I do not have a big butt, but I do have a nice "bump." Luckily I tried to pull the dress up to my waist to fix my panties when I tried this dress on. I could NOT get it over my butt! This means had I worn this dress I would have had to unzip the back and pull the dress down to my ankles to go to the bathroom! There was absolutely no way I could get this dress up over my butt! Bad design there for a gal with a "normal" booty. I am 5'5" and weighed in at 127 that day. My chest is 33," waist is 27" and my hips/butt at the largest point is 38."

Gorgeous and Comfortable!
For starters, I would rent this dress again and again! It is beautiful, well constructed, comfortable, classy-sexy, the perfect length, and had me getting compliments all night! The sequins did not catch, they did not scratch my inner arms either. I was very nervous about that. I read the reviews of all renters as I always do when choosing a style and size. I chose the 2 as primary and the 4 as a back up. Tried on the size 2 first and did not even need to consider trying on the size 4. I am 5'5," weight at time of party was 127, I have a 33" chest, 27" waist and 38.5" hips at the largest area around my butt. HIGHLY recommend this dress!!!

SEXY, CLASSY AND COMFORTABLE!!
This dress is absolutely stunning! I wore it to wedding and received compliment all night long! The dress has quite a bit of stretch and is so comfortable. It is fully lined, but I found that even though I am small busted I needed to wear silicone pasties so there was no "peak through." The material is substantial but because of the sunflower color it does show bra lines, panty lines, and nipples if you have a chill, so chose your undergarments correctly :) The slit is high and very sexy so beware when sitting. I will rent this dress again and cannot wait for the next event I need to use RTR services! I will also hope that this dress goes on sale at some point and I can buy it for my wardrobe.

This daisy necklace is gorgeous and cute!
I ended up not wear this necklace as I did not like it on me with my hair down and the overall look with the dress required a more delicate necklace. I wore the Jay Godfrey Sunflower Thopmson Dress that this necklace is pictured with. The dress is very much a bright, rich, sunflower color, but the yellow on the necklace is much paler and more subdued. It is not bright sunflower like the dress. It is a gorgeous necklace though, just not for me.

Sexy but classy
I rented the size 4 and 6. The 4 fit like a glove, it was perfect, then luckily I sat down after I was all ready for my friend's wedding! It was too uncomfortable in the waist when sitting. So I tried on the 6. The 6 fit just as well but had a little extra room that made it more comfortable. The material is substantial and the dress very well made. I will rent again for sure. I am 5'5" with a 33" chest (A cup), a 26.5" waist and 37.5" at the biggest part of my hips/butt, weight 125, an athletic build with curves.

Beautiful, elegant, classy, sexy.
You need good sized breasts to fill out top, the bottom of the lace at low waist/just above pelvic puckered because it was too big in that area for me (29" low waist).

I received a lot of compliments and had a "wow, I do look great" attitude all night!
The fit was perfect! I have a smaller chest and I was able to wear a lightly padded bra to help out, used a racer back to make sure a regular bra strap wouldn't pop out. It did not make the top any tighter. I think it would be comfortable for any chest size. The dress is extremely comfortable and well made, with just enough stretch for someone who is between a 4 and 6, or if the 6 is not available. The kick slit in the back was great for walking. I am 5'5" and wore 5" platforms, the dress still touched the floor, but not enough to drag so it did not get dirty. My measurements at this time 27" waist, 38" around the biggest area of my butt/hips, I have an athletic/hourglass figure and go between 2 and 6 depending on the designer and cut of the dress. Overall, classy/sexy look and can be dressed up or down. I would rent this again!!

Very pretty, but you must have boobs!
This was an alternate dress since the other dress I reserved did not have a second size available. This dress is gorgeous, unfortunately I do not have good sized boobs so the top did not fit.

Sexy and Classy!
For starters, I reserved the size 2 and my usual size 4. Unfortunately, I only received the size 2 because the size 4 was damaged on it's previous rental. Initially when I tried on this size 2 dress when I received it, it was too tight around my butt/hips, and I could not get the zipper all the way up. I contacted RTR Customer Service and they were fabulous!! They sent me two different dresses due to the next size up in this dress being damaged and not sent. After receiving the replacement dresses the next day, I tried them both on and did not like them. I thought "oh no!! what am I going to do now for my husband's Christmas party?!" So, I gave this dress another try. Magically it fit perfectly the second time around! I don't know why it didn't fit the day before but all I can figure is I was retaining some water. There is definitely no extra room in this dress if you go a size down from your usual size. I would suggest making sure you order your actual size in addition to a size down Based on the reviews from other ladies I thought the 2 would work out fine, which ultimately it did. There is enough stretch but it certainly fits like a glove if you go the size down. Beautiful material and extremely comfortable with enough stretch. Would highly recommend.

This dress is so HOT!
The style of this dress is supposed to be very tight so I ordered the XS based on reviews as well as size chart. I asked for a Small as my second choice, but it wasn't available for my date, so I do not know if the Small would have been a better fit. Overall, I was very happy with the fit and my husband absolutely LOVED the way it fit and how I looked. I also received several compliments at the wedding reception. My actual body-type is athletic with curves. My measurements are bust-33, waist-26 to 27 and hips/butt at largest point-37.5. For how tight and short the dress is I found that I didn't have to fuss with pulling it down, and the top stayed up for the most part, but when sitting and turning to talk to people, it would pull down a tad bit. Now, if I actually had any boobs I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem! LOL! Great dress and would definitely rent it again! I wore a deep wine color pump with matching purse and it was a perfect look.
