Very nice summer dress, but heavy material.
This dress is unique, but it does require special undergarments since it's so low cut. Also very heavy material, so good for an indoors air conditioned event instead of a hot & humid outdoors one.

Loved the print and the fit. Wore them to church and out on date night. Highly recommend these pants, even for petites.

Great color and style
I wore this to a work reception for members of Congress. It was a bit snug on me, and the waistline didn't suit me that well but that's because I have a short torso. It comes across black in most pictures so you can really only appreciate the beautiful deep green color in person.

This sweater is adorable, but a bit itchy. It can be dressy or casual. I wore it to conferences and business meetings with black slacks and never felt under dressed.

Total luxury!
This dress is amazing, and I am tempted to buy it if it ever goes on sale. If you want to feel like Victoria Beckham or Beyonce, rent this dress! I wore it with navy blue booties to a formal dinner and got compliments all night. Best of all, it was comfortable to wear. I was worried that it would be too tight, but it was perfect. I can't love this dress enough!

Great for work conference
This almost fit me perfectly, but the body is too long and it bunches up on the back of my shoulders. So I do not recommend for short women like myself. The fabric and style is perfect for work, and a change from the typical navy blue or black.

Wore to a conference luncheon.
This dress was too big on the top for me. I am small busted, so someone with a fuller bust might fill this out better. It was also too low cut for a professional work event, so I wore a scarf around my neck the whole time, which kind of defeats the beauty of this dress. I think if I had gotten a 10 or even a size 8, it would have fit me better.

Wore to a luncheon where I received an award.
This dress is adorable! I am short, so the length was perfect for me, just above the knee. I felt polished and professional, but also a fun & colorful print that made transition to evening networking happy hour easily.

Although this is a loose shift dress, I had to wear the L because it was tight on my hips. I wore it out for Christmas, and I was comfortable. I would rent again.

Nice style, poor fit for curves
The dress I originally ordered was not available, and I was sent this dress instead. It looked cute, but when I tried it on, it was ill fitting on me. The top was too large, but the hips were very tight. Also the back has a nice opening but it was too low on me so even though I tried to wear a body shaper, I couldn't because it showed.

Great Vegas party dress!
I've wanted to wear this dress for a while but it's usually booked. I was so happy that it was available for my trip to Vegas, so I had to wear it. The largest size available is M and it was a tight squeeze but I managed. The bust area was very stretched out (I'm only a B cup) so I had to use fashion tape to keep that area up on me. I got lots of compliments and was able to party all night, but an unstretched out L would have been better.

Classic fit with a twist
Based on other reviews, I ordered this for a work event and it did not disappoint. The fit was snug on my bottom with the 8, so I went with the 10 because it was a work event, and I wanted to be less fitted around my behind. I got lots of compliments and wore it with purple pumps. The pockets were a great feature because I could keep my phone and business cards handy.

Go day to night, casual to formal
I was able to get into the 6R although I normally wear an 8/10 in designer clothes. It was slimming and not too long on me. I also was able to go braless since I'm not large on top. As with all jumpsuits going to the bathroom is a bit of a challenge but this outfit is worth it. Great alternative to LBD for summer.

Great statement piece but heavy
This was a great statement piece but heavy to wear all day long. It also kept falling off so I had to take it off eventually. I think it's a great accessory if you're warring something simple. I work with plain black jumpsuit so it really stood out.

Stretchy material with retro pattern
The jumpsuit fit really well and I was able to go braless. Because its stretchy the bottom fit me ok. I got the size 10 as a backup but the top was way too big although the bottom fit more loosely which I would have preferred. The pattern was also very cool and gave it a modern look with an homage to the 1970s jumpsuit look. Would rent again.

Unique print, classic style for winter
This dress is very tight and difficult to get on. The sleeves are also long but the fabric makes it easy to cuff without a problem. Hugs every curve and imperfections so wear Spanx! Looks really good on. Classic silhouette is very sexy but with a bold print & keeps you warm for a winter date night.

Great cold weather dress!
Sleeves are very long but the fabric allowed me to cuff it no problem. It's a cute dress but not as flattering as it looks on some other women. The length is good for petites like myself, but if you're not slim the full skirt can look a little boxy. I got this dress to run around New Year's Eve and be outdoors in 50 degree weather. This will keep me warm & look cute.

Nice vibrant color
I would have given this a 5 star review but the flare on the skirt is really wide, which I think made me look wider than I am. Plus because I'm short, that also made the dress look to big on me. It's also surprisingly noisy! The material is cotton, but because the skirt is so poofy, I felt it made a lot of noise when I walked. Not a big deal, but kind of annoying. Other than that, I received many compliments (wore it to a sorority formal luncheon) and it was a nice vibrant color that made me stand out.

Gorgeous color and great fit
The color of this dress is stunning! I wore this for a wedding reception, in a sea of lace and pink/coral dresses, this one did stand out. It does run small, but if you size up, you'll still be comfortable. I also added a jeweled belt to dress it up more because the shoes I wore made the dress look too casual for a wedding reception. I will definitely rent this dress again and maybe even try it in the other colors it comes in because the fit is just that good.

Fun pattern, great for a beach themed wedding
The pattern on this dress is amazing and unique! I also loved that it has pockets, especially to keep my camera ready during the wedding. The cons are that if you have a bigger bottom than top, it can be challinging to get it to fit right. I ordered the 6 & 8 because I'm in between sizes. The 6 was about 1/2 inch too small on my ribcage area and I just couldn't get it on. It fit perfectly on top, if I could've zipped it up. The 8 was too long and big in the bust area for me, so I ended up pinning it in the shoulders. My hair covered it up, but it was a pain to get the pins in because the material is so thick. I would still highly recommend this dress, especially for a beach themed wedding!

While this dress did run small on the top, the bottom was forgiving because of the loose skirt and pleats. The print on this dress is amazing and I didn't want to send it back.

I got the 8 & 6, both fit me the same at the waist but the top of the 8 was way too big for me. I wore this to a networking event on a hot & humid evening, but this was comfortable. I would highly recommend for a work event.

Nice conservative dress but not for petites
After reading the reviews I got the S as my back up size & glad I did. I was expecting it to be long on me but the top was ridiculously huge! I tried the blouson effect but that looked worse, so I just pulled it down to my waist and the dress was tea length on me. Not too bad, but it made me look very matronly for Morhers Day.

Not for short ladies
This dress looked so cute but it was too long on me, way past my knees. Also the white side panels were see thru so I would not be comfortable wearing it with undergarment lines showing. I even tried full body spanx but you could still see it. Just not for me.

Lovely pattern, unique style
This dress is really, really tight. I managed to get it on, but I'm only 5' 2" and it barely covered my behind! Since it was winter, I wore it with opaque spanx tights because if I hadn't, my underwear would have been showing - that's how short it is. I have no idea how a 5' 10" model wears this, but it's super short on a short person. So if you're OK with that - go for it!

Nice & sexy
Loved this dress for a cold winter night out to celebrate my husband's birthday. However, they did not have this dress in a M, so I went with L because I know these dresses usually run small and tight. This one however was very large in the bust area, so I was self conscious all night about my bra peeking out and constantly having to adjust myself. My husband didn't mind the free show, but I know I would have been much more comfortable in M.

Dress is beautiful, but not if you're short.
I got this as a courtesy back-up because the dress I originally ordered was no longer available. This was a recommendation, but first of all it had a tear on the side and then even though I tried it on, the top was so huge I could never wear it.

I wore this for a company holiday party on a really cold night in DC, but the material was heavy and kept me warm. It is very form fitting so definitely wear Spanx! However, it was very business appropriate and I got a lot of compliments.

This dress is fabulous! While it is tight and difficult to get into, once it's on, it stretches. I think I could have worn the small and be fine. The print is so colorful & amazing, yet the fabric makes it comfortable to wear. I would rent this again for sure!

Not for petities who are on the chunky side
I really wanted to wear this dress to a wedding but unfortunately it didn't fit right on me. The top was too big at my back and the arms were really tight. It was also a little too long for me. I think if I was a size 0 to4, this dress might have worked. But as a petite size 8, not so good. :(

Beautiful fit & color!
My sister-in-law and I both got RTR dresses for this occasion. I loved the fit and the lining was so silky that it made it comfortable too. It also has pockets which was nice because I could keep my phone and camera handy during the wedding. I'm glad to see that they have it in another color, too. I will be renting that one for sure. The body is fitted, but the flare at the bottom makes it dainty. I really loved it! I also wanted to submit a picture because the setting of the wedding in the vineyard, green grape leave and blue skies, really brought out the color of the dress. Unfortunately my file was too big to upload the picture, but I will keep trying. It's gorgeous!

The material is very stretchy, comfortable like a T-shirt. I ordered a size up as my backup because I have a baby bump as was afraid that my usual size would be too small, but the 8 still fit! I'm also short but the length was good too.
