Fits like a glove!
This is one of my all time favorites— and I just bought it! It’s one of those dresses that makes my heart sing when I wear it. It fits perfectly to my body with no extra material or bunching and it hangs nicely giving me a slim appearance. I will wear this for a speaking engagement I’m doing next month since it makes me so confident in my figure.

I wanted to buy it so bad!
This is one of my top 5 all-time favorite RTR rentals. It is so flattering, comfortable and cute. Compliments galore! I wore it to work twice and on St. Patrick's Day. I felt like a million bucks in this gem. It did get a bit stretched out by the last wearing but still looked good. I'm a 4/6 depending on the brand and I got the 6 in this. A 4 would have been ok too I think but I was happy with the 6 because the buttons didn't pull and the shoulders/arms fit great. (I have an "athletic" build)

Cute little casual dress
I liked this little dress. I wore it to work and kept a wrap on my shoulders to combat the AC. The buttons gaped on me so I had to put a pin there but it was large-ish everywhere else. Would rent again.

Felt like a million dollars in this!
Well-cut and flattering on the figure. I wish I had a photo but the way it is cut made it skim past my tummy "problem area" while still preserving a flattering silhouette that wasn't baggy at all. I loved it. I would buy it if I could!

I rented this for work/everyday. I loved it! Very light and comfortable, relatively casual and flattering. I would have likely been better off with a small but the medium was totally fine and I would 100% rent this again. Great for summer!

Most complimented rental EVER
Wow! And to think I almost didn't rent this because of some bad reviews. I was complimented by no less than a dozen people today while wearing this- including many random strangers, co-workers, store clerks and my partner. I got a brand new one with tags (who doesn't love when that happens?!) and I fell in love with it as soon as it was on. It's super flattering. The elasticized waist nips me in and gives me more of an hourglass shape. The material is so breezy and light. LOVE!!

Second time for this dress- love it!
This is the second time I've rented this dress and I love it just as much as I did the first time. It's lightweight, comfortable, stylish and perfect for work or just anytime. I paired with UGG sandals and a mala bead necklace. I would love to buy it but trying to save money so I'll probably just rent it again (and again). Seems to fit true to size- not snug or tugging anywhere.

This dress was so fun to wear on my vacation in Santa Barbara. Light, breezy and colorful. Not the most figure- enhancing dress but a good fit anyway. I should have bought it- maybe I still will.

Gorgeous print, fun dress!
I just love this paisley print! The dress is also really comfortable. I wore it with short Jeffrey Campbell suede boots to give it somewhat of a western vibe. I love the ruffle detailing on the sleeves, skirt and top. Next time I'd probably size down if a Small is available, but the Medium was fine too. This is an awesome dress for work or weekends. Very happy!

Cute but irregularly cut
Ugh! The pattern of this dress is cute BUT I couldn't even remotely get it buttoned over my ribcage and chest. The "gap" was INCHES WIDE! I'm usually a 4 or sometimes a 6, but this 6 was so tiny in the ribcage that I couldn't even button it, let alone look good or feel comfortable. I'm not sure if it was defective or if all of them are like this, but I would estimate it was at least 3 sizes too small. Its ridiculous! There's no universe in which a 5'6", 135 pound woman should be a size 12! But I'm guessing that in order for this to fit, that is the size I would have to order. Good luck!

Flattering, stylish and comfortable too!
This is one of my all time favorite rentals and I wish I could buy it. It's so flattering and surprisingly comfortable. I wore it with tights and black shoes because it's winter but it would look better with bare legs, I'm sure. I'm a size 4 or 6 and the 6 fit perfectly. There isn't any "give" so if you are between sizes you should size up.

Retro fabulousness!
This came up in my recommended list for my Unlimited plan and I just had to rent it. I paired it with some Gucci sneakers and I thought I looked pretty badass. My kids (16) told me I looked ridiculous but I wore it anyway. I considered buying it but decided I'll just rent it again when I need to. Give it a try. It's fun! I'm a 4/6 and the size 2 fit well.

Oh HELL yeah!
This dress is everything. I'll be wearing it on the first night of my upcoming trip to the Caribbean because it looks great even if you aren't tan. Fun. Funky. Campy. I'm sure I'll end up buying it but I got an 8 as the 6 was taken and it's a smidge too loose at the top. I'm usually a solid 6 in dresses like this so I'd say it's true to size.

Classy, elegant, stylish, and comfortable too!
I wore this to my company holiday party and received many compliments. Perfect for an event with colleagues, to look elegant and sophisticated and not show too much skin, though the front is cut low enough to keep it youthful and not "dowdy". I absolutely love this dress! I am normally a 4 or 6 and I wore the 6, though a size smaller may have been slightly better for me. There is a tie at the waist so that helps cinch it. The fabric drapes nicely and the sleeves are really cool. Rent it!

Had potential but didn't work for me
I got a Small and it was WAY too big. I am not even sure an XS will work. It isn't flattering at all, made me look chubby. I wore it anyway because I was just going to work so I didn't care all that much, but I will never rent again.

I love this dress! I sized up because it's all that was available and it was big but I made it work. Such a cute and flattering dress! I got many compliments and a few head turns from gentlemen in my office common areas. I love this dress! I felt great in it all day. I did need to pin the top to keep it closed.

Funky dress - for those who dare!
Definitely a funky choice for my relatively conservative DC-area job, but boy did I love wearing this! So comfortable and cute. All day I've felt like I belong in a magazine. Walking around at lunchtime I definitely got many looks-- though it was potentially people just thinking I was a weirdo! I paired with black mules. This is a well made dress, feels good to wear, and I'd definitely rent it again.

Cute for work
The dress was fine for work but I wouldn't rent it again. It had too much material in the back and bust and wasn't fitted around the midsection as shown on the model. I'm a 4/6 and got a Medium-- but I think even a Small would be too large. Because the material is thin and unlined it was unflattering across my stomach and emphasized my "pooch." Won't be renting again.

Great work dress!
The style of this dress is baggy though I don't know that it necessarily "runs small" as the shoulders on me fit perfectly in a size small, so I think an XS would have been too constricting there. This dress has a great print and fun tie sleeves but its unflattering and diaphanous. Perfect for work or other places where you aren't trying to show off your figure! I would rent again.

Adorable and trendy dress
I loved this dress! The fabric is on trend and comfortable. I wore it with black tights and high black boots. I'm a 4/6 and wore the 4 and even that was too big in the waist (and my waist is what makes me more of a "6", as my hips and legs are skinny). Definitely size down, maybe even 2 sizes if you have a tiny waist as compared to the rest of your body. I would definitely rent this again!

Beautiful fabric, shapeless cut
The 4 wasn't available so I went for the 6-- and it was much too large. I'm sure the 4 would have been as well. The sizing is just off.

Great color! Lots of compliments!
This dress has a retro 60's vibe but is also modern with the unique sleeves that are current now. The color is lovely! I'm a 4/6 and the Medium is a *tad* big but a Small may have been less forgiving over my lower stomach so this is probably the right size. The length is short but still good for the office. I would definitely rent again.

Amazing dress- top 5 RTR ever
I really want to buy this amazing dress but I'm trying to conserve funds. This dress is just gorgeous! Comfy, fits well, super stylish, and so well made. Seems true to size- I could probably wear a S instead of a M but the arms might be a tad snug if I did that (silk material has no stretch). But the M fits well too! I may never return it!!!!!!

Cute but nothing special
I really hate side zippers and wish I had paid closer attention to the description of this dress. Side zippers are so hard for me to zip, and I feel like the dresses with side zippers don't lay straight if they are at all fitted. Once on, this dress looked OK but it was a little gripping on my small belly, so I didn't think it was flattering enough to wear for my intended event. True to size, but hard to (side) zip!

cute spring shirt!
I wore this with a white camisole underneath and jeans. Cute though there is an annoying long tag on the side that I wanted to cut out (but didn't) that would have made the shirt lay a little bit better. The material is somewhat clingy, especially with a cotton cami underneath, which is the only reason I didn't LOVE it.

Not cute
I got this in a M and it fit like an XXL. Honestly, the most unflattering sack-like fit I've ever experienced! My shoulders are somewhat broad, too, and even still the elastic was way bigger than my shoulders. Totally unwearable! Very disappointed.

Cute work dress
This is a great little work dress. The fit is slightly odd- the shoulder area was a tad snug, but still wearable (I'm a 4/6 and wore the Medium), but around the middle it was too big (I tied the inner tie at its tightest and it was a few inches loose). This is somewhat unusual for me because I'm more of an apple shape. A Small would have worked better for me in the body but I'm sure the shoulders/upper arms of the Small would be too tight. All in all, a cute dress that I'd rent again.

Not so much
I got this as part of my unlimited subscription, hoping to wear it to a semi-formal event. However, unlike as shown on the model, the nude-colored "panel" in the middle had weird folds in it that were super unflattering and made me look chunky around the middle (or "chunkier"- depending on your perspective! haha). I'm guessing that it might be because so many people have worn it that it hasn't held up well, maybe it has just been cleaned too many times. The dress fit well otherwise, but because the mid-section was a tad loose as compared to the rest of the dress, it just didn't lay right and resulted in a "love handle" look that really isn't my style. Its a shame because otherwise its a pretty dress! I don't think sizing down or up would have helped.

Sexy and fun!
This is a fun and sexy little dress that will be great for the fall. The material is somewhat thick for the summer (where I live, anyway) so I'll probably wear it once the weather turns. It's surprisingly flattering for a horizontal striped item of clothing (I usually avoid horizontal stripes as they are notoriously 'widening') and because the material is thicker than you'd expect, it hides small lumps and bumps. I'm a 4/6 and the small fits perfectly. Would be great for a night out or even just walking around the city during the day. Great dress!

Fun summer dress with nice details
This dress was light and airy yet well made. There is some ribbon/ball detailing on the bottom which was a nice surprise. I felt like the shoulders slipped "up" a lot, which is better than coming down, but still annoying. Also, the belt was missing from my shipment, though I'm not sure if I would have worn it anyway because there is a LOT of extra material to the dress (it's rather loose and baggy) so I think the belt would have made my midsection bunchy and unflattering. All in all it's a sweet spring/summer dress that isn't all that figure flattering but still adorable.

Awesome dress- not for me
I loved this dress- it's well made and unique and sexy- but I didn't end up wearing it to a party as originally planned. I'm a 4 or a 6. I rented the 6 and maybe a 4 would have been better because I felt like it was too roomy, and because the material (while sheer) is thick, it made me look super wide and chunky from the side. I would definitely size down if you are between sizes because the thick, stiff material isn't flattering when there's too much of it around the midsection.
