Beautiful fabric
I loved this fabric and dress so much. I carefully studied the reviews and sized down and am glad I did. It's a bit similar to the Laura Ashley jumpers of my youth, in a good way. No shape at the waist but that is the look. I loved it, will probably work best if you are long waisted and size down!

Pretty and easy to wear
Gorgeous color, easy to wear dress. Wore for baby shower and then several more times at the beach. Super comfortable and can wear a bra. Perfect dress!

Soooooo cool and different
I love love loved this coat / cape thing. I got a zillion compliments on it. It's in a category of its own. A light jacket? A cape? A cardigan? Was perfect for spring weather and went with so many different dresses and skirts. I'm not sure I ever figured out all the buttoning options and mostly wore it open. Try it!

Flowy and fun
Pretty dress. Exactly what I love about RTR because I would never buy this dress but loved the unusual cut and fabric and cape like sleeves. Great for Easter and spring weekend activities.

Pretty spring dress
I liked this dress, great for Easter weekend activities and horse racing. I'd say fairly true to size, generous fit. Pockets always appreciated.

Meh-unforgiving fit
This was ok, not great. Thought the knit fabric would be a bit more forgiving and flattering but it looked pretty lumpy on this covid bod. Also you do need a strapless bra for reasons others have explained, even though it looks like a regular bra would work.

Sooooooo gorgeous and flowy
So I had rented the same dress in the other pattern so knew how it would fit (need some boob tape). The fabric of this one is thinner and sooooo drapey in a beautiful way when you move. I had several random strangers stop and compliment it. Love the color and the fit and the style. Basically perfect for a glam date night.

Cool look but issues with fit
Cool looking work dress but it was a tiny bit too short at my height and the pockets kind of pucker out in a weird way. Looked awesome with a navy blazer over it though.

I loved the unusual colors of this, perfect for a summer birthday party. Was surprisingly flattering, the length was great and interesting at my height.

Gorgeous sparkly fun!
I rented this for a NYE wedding that was canceled so I wore it to Trader Joe's and for a fancy at home lunch. It's sooooo beautiful and great for tall ladies. I was surprised how slimming it was for having such a high neckline. Really loved this. I sized up from my normal 10 and it fit perfectly.

Fabulous winter sweater
I wore this every other day that I had it. Perfectly festive without being over the top. It's a tiny bit short but still worked (I'm very long waisted). Wore with a blazer and vest. Loved it. Fabric has some sparkle as others mentioned.

Decent quarantine thanksgiving dresss
I ended up sizing up so it wasn't too firm fitting. Maybe a mistake? Interesting fabric and cut, not the most flattering on this covid bod. But made our small quarantine thanksgiving at least a bit more special and fun. Very comfortable.

Very pretty long skirt
Loved this skirt. Wore it twice, once w a shorter sweater and then with a tucked in blouse. Interesting length and flow, a great winter skirt. Fabric is softer to the touch than I expected.

Nice color, too short for my taste
I love the color of this dress but found it kind of meh when on. A little too short and blocky for my taste. Well made, thick fabric and lined.

Weird fabric and style
I expected this to be weird, and it was. I still wore it but didn't love it. The slit seemed kind of strange and the fabric felt like a not soft Afghan blanket. Interesting concept though and was fun to try!

Cute and young
Very cute dress. But short for this tall girl and a little too young of a vibe for this almost 40 year old. But nice way to be festive and comfortable!

Pretty pattern
Pretty pattern but didn't love this skirt. I didn't realize it had a weird hem (raised in front). It is super full but thin fabric. I wore it w tights but it is really more of a summer fabric.

Ill fitting but pretty color
This was my most disappointing rental. Such a pretty color and the perfect work dress IN THEORY. But in reality it was poorly fit. Too big through whole midsection and small in shoulders. I could have sized down from a 10 but then it would have likely been too short and too small in shoulders. I still wore it , but wasn't what I'd hoped.

Too short! So bummed.
I love everything about this dress but it was way too short to wear anywhere but the beach. I'm 5'10".

Pretty dress but made me feel old
Very pretty dress. But when I put it on, I felt kind of old! Was it the skin colored mesh? The dark lacy floral? The fact that I was wearing to an event with a lot of older people? I still wore it, and got lots of compliments, but I didn't love it. Fit true to size, and not too short for taller gals.

Gorgeous color, interesting cut
I loved this dress. Got a zillion compliments. Paired with a navy blazer to tone it down at work. It didn't seem as voluminous on me (tall, long waisted). I loved the color and the fabric and the interesting cut.

Gorgeous gorgeous dress! Perfect for a day at the races!
This was my favorite RTR experience ever and I'm sorry I didn't get a better picture! This dress is GORGEOUS. Glamorous and beautiful cut and fabric. It is a full skirt and narrow waist. I loved the neckline but used fashion tape to keep the shoulders up (I wore it for a loooong day at Churchill Downs). Pockets were super useful. I wore it with fancy flats but heels would have been better. I really want to own this dress, I love it so much.

Wintery option, very low cut
I didn't realize the top was velvet, making it too wintery for a spring party. Also ran too big and too low cut to wear for this particular event. I loved the picture online but thought the metallic skirt didn't look great in person.

AWESOME fun cute dress. Perfect for day at the races
Love love love this dress. Obsessed with the print and design. The back is so cute. You can wear a normal strapless bra. There are pockets! It was a bit short for this 5'10" almost 40 year old lady. Perfect RTR experience because I got to wear something really fun and unique, that I wouldn't want to own because of the length and the fact that it's so unique you wouldn't wear all the time.

Pretty floral, plus pockets!
I wore this for a derby party. Very pretty, lady like dress. The fabric is thick and substantial and it ran true to size for me. Loved the pockets and length. Bra situation is a little tricky because the back is low and the front is also a bit low. I wore a stick on bra.

Fun and interesting jumpsuit
This was the first thing I wanted to try on my month of unlimited because I could see it really tanking and be a waste of a rental. But instead it was really fun and interesting! It's got a lot of fabric going on, so isn't exactly slimming, but the color is gorgeous and is beautifully made and interesting design. I am 5'10" and wore the long with low heels, was the perfect length. The tag at the back does tend to roll up so you might want to secure to your bra with fashion tape. I wore this to the horse races with a wrap and thought it was a fun change of pace!

Nice DVF work dress
I thought this was flattering and appropriate for work. It does run big for DVF dresses (where I sometimes size up to a 12, but here the 10 fit well). The zipper in the back goes all the way down, and can creep up so you have to be conscious of it.

Very pretty unusual dress
I wore this to a "tropical chic" event and it fit the bill perfectly. I dressed it down with more casual wedges and rolled the straps as someone did in their picture, to make it less low cut. I got LOADS of compliments. The 10L was the perfect length at my height (5'10") with low wedges. I am usually a 10 and the 10 fit perfectly.
