Fun to wear, fits a small torso!
Finally a romper that fits my small torso! Wore this all day and it was very comfortable. Looks great dressed up or down. Would rent again.

Lovely dress that runs small
I am a solid size S/4 but I had to size up in this style. The 4 was unflatteringly tight. But the 6 was perfect and looked gorgeous on. The only problem I had was that the little lace trim on the neckline kept flipping up throughout the day.

Really short
This was way shorter than I thought. It arrived without the belt (RTR warned me in advance and offered me a new piece if I wanted) but I thought I could make it work. The giant belt loops hover over the garment without a belt and it looks tacky that way. I didn't have another wide belt that would work with it so I just returned without wearing.

Not good for short torsos
It's weird to say something was large and small at the same time. I could barely fit this over my hips but when I did the top was baggy and unflattering. Rompers tend to be designed toward women with longer torsos and this is no exception.

Surprisingly okay
It looked a little bland on the rack in the showroom but it was a good pick after all. One of the very few solid pieces in the RTR closet, with a light linen-cotton blend like material that worked well on a hot day. Would maybe rent again.

Not for narrow shoulders
Maybe if you have wider shoulders this would work but it just didn't sit right on me and was way too big. Not possible to raise your arms without your whole lower butt flashing. Just too large overall, wouldn't recommend.

Sassy
Cute dress...I have a pretty boyish figure and it was a tad tight on my hips but looked good. Easy to go braless with, which was nice, but wasn’t comfortable enough for a long Memorial Day out. Had fun but probably wouldn’t rent again.

Pretty but too big
For everyone saying this dress doesn't fit in the chest -- This dress runs one full size large. I had to tie part of the dress itself on the inside to get it to fit properly and tie the front sash way behind my hip. My girl who always wears M tried this on and it fit her perfectly. This is a beautiful dress that's good for my height. I would rent again but in xs.

Nice linen
I wear a 4 in a lot of the brands RTR carries but a 2 was perfect for a high-waisted fit. Comfortable, cool linen for the summer. Only reason I took off a star is because I'm not crazy about the design and print.

Shapeless, too large
I have a boyish figure that looks good in sheath silhouettes but this was somehow formless and blocky combined. Order one size down if you plan to rent. Was far too big for me to wear and hung too low on my chest.

Classic look professional but fun
This was a little big for me in the waist and slightly in the hips (my hips are very narrow). I would try the size down if I ordered again.

Stripes are printed on, not knitted
I liked the fit and shape but the white stripes of this are printed on to the black knit. This garment would be a lot more quality if it was actually white stripes knitted in with black.

Cute, good quality, but missing a wow factor
From the photos on the website I thought it might be a little more blazer-like, but it is an actual double breasted coat. Still, I liked the slightly oversize/boxy shape, which fit me well across the chest. (As others have said, if you're a C+ cup you may want to consider sizing up.) Not anything special, I would only rent this if it's really going to fill out an outfit you have planned in a certain way.

Amazing fit, so cute!
Great proportions for my height and shape. This shows off your figure but is appropriate for work. I wore it in the fall with a long sleeve turtle neck layered underneath. Tailored but has stretch, very comfortable for work. If you are taller than me it's probably too short for work attire, ideal for someone even shorter.

Pretty fabric, but too big
Order one size down . Might try this again but it's better for a taller woman with a fuller figure. Loved the color and fabric though.

Very flattering
This dress is perfect for showing off your figure while still being professional. The material is substantial and stretchy without being bulky or clingy. Perfect to smooth out any bumps you have in undesirable places while accentuating the humps you like to show! Somewhat low-cut so probably not for a more conservative work environment. Also the sleeves are long. Overall you can see why DVF wraps are classic, definitely flattering silhouette for many body types.

Nice graphic sweater
Warm, comfy material. Good for everyday fall wear. I would usually order an S but this is pretty boxy and the XS fit nicely. If you have more of a chest stick to your normal size.

This will be my go-to
Love the understated sexy of this sheath dress. The material is thick so it smooths over bumps here and there while still being comfortable and easy to move in. The length was flattering to my height. I would keep renting this dress as a default to many different occasions and would consider buying for sure!

Casual cool
This dress made me feel pretty and put together at an evening reception in the city. I love the cold shoulder and the way this dress is designed to look like matched separates. The sheath silhouette is flattering to my boyish figure and it shows skin in the right places to be youthful while not too revealing for a family event. The lace has a little bit of stretch and give so it's great to dance in. Would love to rent this again.

Bold and fun choice
I chose this dress because it was the perfect combination of sleek and sexy for a formal wedding. The red is quite bright and on the orange side, more of a tomato. Didn't even notice the modest single side slit in the photos, but it was a nice surprise that made the dress even easier to move in. Keep in mind this dress is woven and won't give at all. The 2 absolutely would not fit on my upper arms properly and pulled at my chest so I opted for the 4, my usual size in designer clothes, even though it was not quite as form hugging as I'd have preferred. I'm 5'5"-5'6"ish and the hem length didn't bother me but if you are a few inches taller like the model in the picture it will hit you right at or a little below the knee and be a very flattering length. It was easy to dance with and the material doesn't cling too much so I could wear a strapless bra without seeing any hints of it through the dress. The sleeves stayed on through a night of dancing and were quite comfortable without slipping down. The only thing I will note is that these gorgeous flamenco-inspired sleeves can become a little inconvenient at dinner--be sure not to drag them in your plate of food when you reach for your glass! A beautiful dress I received many compliments on and wish I could own.

Perfect for a formal summer wedding in Central Park
Beautiful coppery embroidery on the mesh overlay. I have dark skin and was afraid the mesh would be too light but it looked great on me. The dress is comfortable to dance in with enough structure in the bust that you don't need to wear a bra, although I chose to. I felt very pretty and put together in this dress and would definitely love to wear it again someday.
