Not quite what I was looking for.
Ran large through arms and torso. I was planning to wear this during a party we were giving, but the sleeves were so long I was afraid I would set myself on fire pulling things out of the oven! This would be better for a very formal occasion, preferably with something like a long black velvet skirt!

Great comfy pants!
Nice enough to wear to work meeting and a casual party, and comfortable. I didn't expect the bright red satin strip down the side. Not spectacular, but definitely wearable.

Pretty dress, but not for me.
Fit strangely, but I am very short-waisted and probably should have gotten a smaller size. Fit through tirsi was okay, but too big under arms and sleeves were too long. Illusion cut-outs are a nice touch.

Groovy, baby!
This blazer was a little Austin Powers while still being on-trend! It's a great length with leggings but is dressy enough to wear with a skirt. It buttons on the inside and the outside to help with fit and was very comfortable. Great blazer.

Felt like a Bond villainess!!
I thought this would be delicate for some reason but it is a big, sharp, pointy thing that a Bond girl could kill someone with!! Kind of cool but not very comfortable.

Best. Dress. Ever.
I've never given a dress (or for that matter, anything!) five stars before but I love this dress. It was stretchy enough to be comfortable but hugs curves in a flattering way. The blue interior gives it a great pop of color. I wore this to synagogue and out to dinner twice in D.C. and it was perfectly appropriate everywhere. It would also be reversible if you owned it and could cut the tags off. The only minor problem I noted was that the third time I wore it, I noticed a slight pull in the knit on the front.

Conservatively sexy
This is a great dress. It's a loose knit, so I could have gone a size smaller, but it still fit well. Enhances curves and the turtleneck is comfy and warm. Comfortable and attractive, but conservative enough to wear to work or an operetta (which is what I did).

Divine dress!
A beautiful, well-cut dress. The lace overlay shifts from black to gold in a really unusual way. Easy to pair with a blazer or nice sweater. I wore this out to dinner and it was loose enough that it didn't feel a bit tight afterwards! I wear a 6 in most designers as I don't like to wear super-tight clothes but this 4 fit extremely well. (Could have gone with a 2 if I was a tight-clothes person.) Great dress.

Devastating day dress!
Wore this to to work and everyone loved it! Colors are cheerful and stand out. I was the best-dressed lawyer in town that day! Wore it again out to dinner at one of the better local restaurants too. It was too big but fabric was very comfortable and flattering--knit, but not too clingy, and it hung so beautifully that it still looked good. Arrived brand-new with tags on. Great pick RTR!

Great dress for someone else!
I loved this dress but it did not love me! The colors were great and I loved the zipper detailing. Unfortunately, it is not really cut for a petit postmenopausal lady with a very short waist. It hit me in the wrong places. The other downside was that the dress was apparently meant to be worn by a person standing up, not sitting in a conference room for two hours. When I got up, I noticed that there were several noticeable creases in the skirt and they did not go away until the next morning! Not one of my favorite rentals.

Sexy compression dress!
I thought the scuba fabric would be uncomfortable and I was soo wrong! It's a compression fabric that means you don't have to wear spanx. This dress was comfortable and eye-catching. The colors didn't pop as much as I expected but otherwise this was a great dress.

Cool and comfy!
This is just a great warm weather dress, beautiful blues and lightweight fabric. Very casual classy and didn't wrinkle in my suitcase. I felt it made me look a bit blocky but I might have needed a smaller size. I have a couple pairs of Lilly Pulitzer pants in a 6 and they are tighter in the waist than I would like so I went with the 6 in the dress as the 8 was not available and I'm glad, as this was quite comfortable. I thought about buying it but restrained myself!

Best-dressed!
This dress fit beautifully. It has just a hint of stretch and looked great with several different black blazers. I wore it to work twice and was definitely the best-dressed attorney in the courthouse! I did notice that by the second wearing it was starting to wrinkle a bit in the skirt.

Feeling great!
I looove this jacket. Really. It's great with jeans or for work. It's comfortable and classy. Seemed a little big at first, but once I layered underneath (turtleneck and sweater) it fit perfectly. Could have gone a size smaller if I left the sweater off.

Fabulous food!
I was so worried about this dress being too small that I ordered a size larger than I usually wear (two sizes larger than I wear in Milly) and as a result the dress looked a bit like a sack on me. It was very comfortable, though, and attracted a fair amount of attention. Well made and no problems with the sequins, even under the arms. I would rent again in a smaller size next time I'm in Vegas!

Fabulous food and friend!
Sadly, the picture came out blurry, but this dress looked great. The underlining is spanx-like material that sucks the stomach in. I wish I could say it looked as good as it felt, and it was fine when I was standing up, but when I sat down for dinner it really squished my stomach in an uncomfortable way! I don't know if a large would have been too big as the dress fit fine otherwise (and I've never worn a large in anything before!). My friend borrowed it and wore it on a different night and said it wasn't too bad, so it may just have been that I was also wearing tights with a waistband underneath. Beautiful dress, though.

Saw an amazing show (Ka, in Las Vegas) in an amazing dress!
Fit was comfortable. I probably could have gone a size smaller but would rather err on the side of comfort. The dress looked great and was perfect for dinner and a show in Vegas! I'm short and short-waisted and this dress did not make me look like a small blob.

Music people glommed onto me and wanted my dress!!
The size 4 equivalent fit noticeably better than the 6 equivalent, which was very loose. It was such a cute, comfortable dress for a long (and dull) awards banquet, and very comfortable. It was possibly not the most flattering thing for a curvy short person with no waist but looked okay. I would happily wear it again.

Had a wonderful dinner but was not wearing this dress when I ate it!
Very pretty dress. It didn't look horrible but something about the fit at the ribcage was wrong--couldn't zip the XS at all, and the S only went up with much urging, and then felt as though I was wearing a corset! Clearly not what I wanted to wear to a fancy dinner so I sent it back. There was a small tear in the seam on the S which I could easily have fixed if I had decided to wear it.
