Length Issues
These were on the verge of being too short. They hit right above my ankle and made for a slightly awkward fit.

Liked it!
The slit on the dress is way higher than I thought it would be.

Light, But Not See-Through
When I got this, I didn't think I would be able to wear it without an additional undershirt. The shirt comes with two pieces: the long sleeve printed portion and a black cami attached. Both pieces are a thin, gauzy material and are sheer on their own, but I had no issues when they were layered. I got a ton of compliments!

Runs Large
The print and material are gorgeous, but I wasn't able to wear it because of sizing issues. I typically wear a 12 in dresses, so I ordered a large. Even tightened all the way, the dress looked baggy on me. The sleeves were also super long.

Cute Skirt For A Saturday
This was a cute, breezy option for a Saturday afternoon spent walking around town. The only problem was gapping between the first and second buttons, but that was fixed with a safety pin.

Shows Curves in a Good Way
I loved this dress because it showed curves, but not in the body-hugging way that a lot of other dresses do. It's flattering and forgiving. The ruffle adds some nice visual interest.

Dress Rides Up
I really like the color and pattern of this dress. The fit was also great when I first put it on. However, I found myself having to repeatedly pull the hem and sleeves down as the day went on. The fabric will creep up on you. I might rent again and try a bigger size.

You'll Need to Size Way Down
These run big, but the real problem is that they don't hold their shape. They were a little loose when I put them on, but they stretched as the day went on. They were falling off of me. I'm pretty sure everyone in the pediatrician's office saw my entire backside when I bent down to pick up the baby. Good times. I wish they had worked because they were really cute.

Great Sweater
I freaking love this sweater. It's so comfortable, and the cut is intriguing. It's supposed to be oversized, so keep that in mind when you order. I got a ton of compliments on it.

Fun Print
I wore this to work. The pattern and fabric was nice, but the cut was a bit old-fashioned. It's double breasted, which I always think tends to look less modern. Plus, there was slight padding in the shoulders. That might be good for some people, but I don't need the extra padding.

Great Dress For Work
I rented this to wear to work. I paired it with a cardigan, and it looked amazing. I got a ton of compliments. The top is nice and stretchy, and the pockets are a good size. My only issue is that it looked like there used to be snaps to hold bra straps, but those were gone. There were loose threads that had to be tucked back instead.

Amazing Dress for a Summer Wedding
I adore this dress. It was my backup, but I loved it so much that I ended up wearing it. It's flowy and comfortable and perfect for dancing. I was worried about the height with heels, but I was able to wear 3" heels with no issues. I felt gorgeous in it and got a ton of compliments. People said I looked like a Greek goddess!

Pretty Dress, Didn't Wear
Ladies, you have to love your body to wear this dress. Unfortunately, I'm not there, so it went unworn. It shows every single lump and bump even with the use of shape wear. I loved the color, but I ended up wearing my backup dress instead.

Perfect Dress for a Charity Event
I LOVE THIS DRESS. I wore this to an event that was themed "Paint the Night Purple." The dress was amazing. I had a baby recently, so I was worried about the fit around my midsection, but I was able to wear my normal size without issues. The fabric is gorgeous and sturdy. The hem flairs out beautifully just like in the picture. Oh, and pockets? Always great. This dress was comfortable to dance in, and it's unique and beautiful to boot!

Professional and Stylish
Can we all just take a moment to be in awe of the perfection of Kate Spade's fit and flare dresses? I love every single one of them that I've ever rented. They are amazing and look great on my body type. I rented this for a baby shower, but I ended up wearing another dress, so I wore this to work. I paired it with navy tights and flats and a navy blazer. Everyone loved it! I got loads of compliments and it is so comfortable. Plus, it has POCKETS! I love pockets. It was fitted a bit higher than my natural waist, but wasn't quite a baby doll fit. It came down to two or three inches above my knee. It was a great length for work. I also ordered the size 8, but it was unavailable. It probably would have fit because the fabric has some stretch, but the 10 worked for me too.

Pretty Dress, But A Lot of Hassle
This dress is gorgeous. It flows beautifully and the color and pattern is striking. I loved that it had snaps to secure your bra straps. I was able to wear it with my normal bra. It was perfect for a spring baby shower. However, it wasn't the most comfortable dress that I've worn for the following reasons. The first one is that it was looooong. I'm 5'8" and wore 2" heels and it was still dragging on the ground. I'm thankful for the insurance because my heel caught on it at one point and put a rip in the hem. The other thing is that there's a high slit up the middle of it in the front. A strong breeze made for some compromising situations. I wore some nude shape wear underneath to make me feel a bit safer, but it was still a bit nerve wracking. I would have secured it, but the one safety pin that I had went to pin the neckline. It's pretty low cut. While it wasn't a problem when I was standing, it would gap when I sat down. Pinning it helped immensely. I got a ton of compliments on it, though! Everyone loved it. I wanted to add that this dress was sent as a replacement for a dress that I originally wanted that was unavailable. RTR contacted me and told me to send them my top five picks for a replacement. Thanks for the great customer service!

Dressed Down for Daytime
I rented this as a wedding backup, but I ended up wearing my other rental. I wore this one to work instead. I paired it with a white cardigan and nude heels and it looked great. Professional, but with a twist. A lot of people said that it was their favorite dress that they'd seen me wear so far. I got a ton of compliments on it. I had two issues with it. The first is that it runs really big. The main reason that I didn't wear it to the wedding is because it made me look larger than I am around the waist. I had a good three extra inches of fabric, but the cardigan hid that. Secondly, the fabric used on the piping on the bodice snagged really easily. Be careful with your jewelry!

Country Wedding Perfection
I rented this for a wedding with a rural/country theme. I paired this with boots and a hat and it looked great. It was really comfortable and it was so much fun to dance in! It runs huge. I wore two sizes down from what I usually wear. The top actually would have fit better in a size two, but the lining on the bottom never would have got over my hips. Here are a few things to know when renting this: 1) The top is sheer. I wore a nude cami underneath and didn't have an issue. 2) The lining on the bottom was tight on me and it's pretty short compared to the actual skirt. It kept riding up. I wore some beige shape wear underneath and that worked fine. 3) Water spots will show on this fabric! Careful about leaning up against the sink!

I Got a Ton of Compliments!
I have never gotten more compliments on a dress than I did when I wore this. It is perfect. The only thing that I would say is that I didn't read the description well enough and thought the overlay was brown. People, it is BLACK. Not a huge deal. Still gorgeous. I didn't get a backup size, but I probably could have worn a 6. The fabric has plenty of stretch. I wore it to a wedding and I loved it so much that I dressed it down and wore it to work that Monday. At the wedding, I paired it with nude heels and minimal jewelry and a coral cardigan. The heels and cardigan were gone by the end of the night when we took the picture. For work, I paired it with a black blazer, black tights, and black flats.

Gorgeous Easter Dress
This dress was amazing. I felt like a princess in it. It is a very classy dress. It does run small, but I ordered one size up and it fit me like a glove. I love that it had pockets and the fabric was just beautiful. It does have a bit of puff at the bottom, but it didn't accentuate my hips in a negative way. The one thing that you can't see from the picture is that it is LONG. I am 5'8" and it hit me about halfway down my calves. Not a huge problem, but it would have looked weird if I didn't wear heels.

Looking great on the dance floor.
This is an awesome dress. It's a black dress that stands out. I was able to wear a standard bra with it. I loved the way it flowed. I had no problems with the fit. The chest may be a little tight if you're more gifted in that area than I am. The length hit me at about the knee. Definitely recommend!

The dress was perfect for the occasion.
I rented this for a beach wedding. It was perfect for the occasion. It had the right vibe for the beach with just the right amount of formality for a wedding. I didn't need any fabric tape. I used NuBra with it, and I was afraid that the edges of it showed through the fabric, but my friend assured me that they didn't. It was so comfortable and great for dancing the night away!

Great Dress, but Weird Zipper
The color of the dress is gorgeous, but I had problems finding shoes to match. The reason I didn't end up wearing it is because the bottom of the zipper gave a weird point to my butt. My husband said it looked like I had a tail underneath the dress, so I ended up wearing my backup. Great dress, otherwise!
