Perfect vacation dress
Thin material, but feels luxurious, and kept everything covered!

Perfect spring dress!
True to size, plenty of room in the waist and hips. The sleeves slid down a bit of if I tried to wear them pulled up.

I have a long torso, and unfortunately, this one was a major miss for me.

Obsessed with the beauty!
I wore it to a wedding in Mexico and got tons of compliments! The material is think, lined, and feels expensive...it was also impossible to sweat through, despite the humidity :) highly recommend!

Show stopping romper!
I loved this rental! I'm glad I read the other reviews and sized WAY up (normally a medium). The fit was great, the neckline was a little bit lower than I usually go for, but not ridiculous.

Great for beach formal!
Great dress, the slit gives it a nice flow, the material is thin enough to not make it hot, and the pattern is fun! Overall, a winner. Cons: zipper is a bit tough to pull up over the ruching and the inner liner layer is white, so if it shows when you walk, it looks odd.

Perfect dress for a rehearsal dinner!
Great fit and color! I note that the lining was not very stretchy - this was not a huge problem, but something to be conscious of when I was going up/down stairs.

The BEST Derby dress!!
I wore this dress to the Kentucky Derby and felt great all day! I sized up from my usual size 8 (I almost always do in Black Halo), and it fit great. A little big in the hips, but that's normal for me. No bra was necessary, plenty of support from the dress. All around, this dress was a winner!!

Breezy coverage
I rented this for a trip to Egypt, and it was perfect. It was light and airy, but offered a loose 'covered' layer for more conservative settings.

Perfect for dancing!
Loved this dress! It fit great, and held everything in. The dress was super easy to move in, once I got it on. I sized up, since that's all they had in-store, and while I had plenty of room, it wasn't too big. I will definitely rent this brand again!

Great dress for many occasions!
I wore this dress to a cooking class (hence the apron in the pic!) and really liked it! It was casual but cute, and very comfortable to move around in. The only issues for me were that it was a bit short, and it was tight in the chest.

Perfect jacket for an outdoor sporting event!
I wore this jacket with jeans and a t-shirt for dinner and an outdoor sporting event. It really jazzed up a basic outfit, and kept me plenty warm when the temperature dropped at night. The jacket is lined, and the leather is really soft. The sleeves were a little tight, but other than that, it was a perfect fit!

Great top! Wish I could keep it!
Fitted, but not too tight. This top was very flattering, and a nice length. In the span of a week, I wore it on a date and to a birthday dinner, and got tons of compliments! If it wasn't so pricey, I'd buy it!

Not a winner for a long torso
A cute top in theory, but was way too short on me, and the drill at the bottom hit me weird.

Fantastic dress! Super comfortable, and I've gotten tons of compliments. The wrap part goes around really far and is sturdy- no risk of an accidental undies flash.

Just okay
This dress is really pretty...however, when I put it on, I felt like one of Cinderella's Step-sisters! The bottom was way too poofy for my taste and figure. Great print though!

Too tight in the shoulders and chest
I ordered this dress in my usual size 8, and couldn't zip it up over my chest and shoulders. I do have broad shoulders, but this dress seems to be cut narrow up top. The color and material are great--maybe I will try again in a larger size.

Great Easter dress!
I wore this dress to Easter festivities, and it was perfect. I liked that the cut and pattern of the dress gave me a nice waist, while the length was long enough to be conservative. Would definitely rent again.

Great top for a night out. More peach than it appears in photos. Pros: -Flattering cut, gave a nice cinch at the waist -Showed a subtle amount of cleavage Cons: -It ran HUGE. Definitely size down

Cute shirt, not for broad shouldered ladies!
Took a chance using my Unlimited subscription and got this in my usual size, Medium. It was way to tight across my shoulders and chest, which is a common problem for my broad, athletic shoulders. A Large may resolve this issue, but wanted to put a warning out there to the other broad shouldered ladies to size up!

Cute, work-appropriate dress
Rented this dress as part of my Unlimited subscription, and it was a good choice for a long workday followed by a work event. I have broad shoulders and I don't feel like this was the most flattering choice for me, although adding a blazer helped. The dress I received was damaged (the seams under both armpits were ripping, exposing flesh and my bra), and, as usual, RTR customer service was excellent! As soon as I emailed RTR to let them know, they sent me out a new dress of my choice. Wore the blazer to my event to cover the tears, and it was no big deal. RTR's responsiveness and quick resolution of the situation is what makes me a repeat customer!!!

Great Valentines Day look!
I rented this top for a Valentines' weekend trip to New Orleans, and it was perfect for walking around and touring the city. The material is nice, and not very static-y for silk. The only drawback is that the neckline is LOW, and I forgot to pack a cami to wear underneath. I would recommend either a tank top or a cute bra under this shirt, because it will definitely show some cleavage.

Great top!
I wore this top with jeans and booties to my birthday party at a bar, and got lots of compliments! I probably could have worn my normal size, a Medium, but it was not available. The Large fit fine, and the nipped in waist combined with the unique neckline made for a memorable top that looked great in photos!

Obsessed with this dress for a casual look!
I wore this dress all day- to lunch, a distillery tour, and the racetrack. I'm normally a size 8, and the Medium fit well- a little big in the hips, but I couldn't have sized down because it was fitted in the shoulders and chest. The only downside to the dress is that sitting down for an extended period of time caused it to wrinkle a bit (photo is from the end of the day). Love that the dress has pockets, it's a perfect casual look!

I LOVED this dress!!
This dress was hard to get into because of how tight it was, and the two layers. Once it was on, however, it was awesome! It held everything in nicely, so no need for Spanx. I loved the neckline, and thought that the dress overall was a little sexy, but still classy.

Nice dress, a lot of people told me they liked it!
I went up a size, and I am glad that I did. My biggest complaint is how drape-y the neckline is. It was showing WAY too much chest, so I used double-sided tape to make the neckline a bit higher. Other than that, the color was great, I loved the built in belt, and the fit was good

Not the look I was going for...
I liked the fit of the dress, but the material seemed very bright and shiny in person. It ended up looking too dressy for the dinner I was going to, so I didn't wear it. I would rent it again for a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or girls' weekend.

Great dress! It was super comfortable, and perfect for a fall wedding!
The dress fit true to size, although it was a little short (I'm 5'8"). The material was nice and thick, so no Spanx needed! I loved this dress, and would recommend it to anyone for a fall wedding.
