Great quality blouse!
Love the fabric, love the color. Unfortunately, my hips just don't work with longer button downs! As you can see in the photo, I had to leave the last button undone. It still pulled a little bit, but it was good enough to wear. If you're pear shaped, I'd recommend ordering a size bigger than you normally wear. Otherwise, you should definitely check out this high quality blouse!

So, so small!
Usually I fluctuate between a 6 and 8. Given how the 6 fit in this dress, I would've needed a 10 or 12 to get the zipper up. I couldn't even pull it remotely close on the two sides. It was definitely a beautiful Cinderella dress, but I definitely recommend sizing way, way up!

Too tight on the hips!
I have a hard time rating a dress like this. The fabric was wonderful and the cut would be so cute - on most people! If you're a pear shaped woman like me, skip this one. It isn't as flowy as I imagined and clinged to my hips in all the wrong ways. The top was big and baggy, the hips were skin tight. Definitely bummed it didn't work, but I'm sure it'd be adorable on any of you with smaller hips!

Cute flowy dress perfect for summer!
Wore this for an incredibly hot day up in Napa. The fabric is great; so light and breathable! I just had to be careful with the wind blowing that I didn't expose myself! I am extremely pear shaped and some dresses that are supposed to be flowy are too tight around the hips - this was not a problem in this dress!

Light, pretty color
I did really like this jacket to throw on over a dress or a t-shirt. I am sure other reviewers have mentioned this, but this sleeves are a bit cropped. The came about halfway down my forearm. I don't think it's a bad thing, just something to be aware of depending on how you wanted to wear it! The color is beautiful and the leather is definitely of great quality. I'd recommend it!

Fun Design
I rented this gown as a possibility for engagement photos, but it just didn't fit my small chest quite right. The length was okay (I'm just under 5'8"), but the chest gaped quite a bit (I'm a 34B). Overall it was pretty and I'd like to rent it to actually wear for an event - I'd just need to invest in a thicker sticky bra and lots of fashion tape!

Pretty dress, too short
I'm 5'8" and usually can wear a regular length dress. This dress however was definitely too short in the regular length. If you're 5'7" or taller, I'd definitely recommend ordering the long!

Loved this ring! It was a little bulky and not the most comfortable, but it was a fun accessory to add to all kinds of outfits.

Really dressed up a simple outfit!
A little heavy, but so worth it for the cool layered look. The necklace paired great with just a white tee, but I also wore it with a little black dress for dinner.

Seriously the prettiest purse ever. The leather is vibrant and a great quality. The pockets make it easy to organize your stuff inside. My only complaint is the weight of the bag itself, but that's something I can deal with for a bag this beautiful.

Simple Everyday Bag
This is a great bag for everyday wear. It has a small cell phone sized pocket and one zipper pocket inside that make it easy to dig items out. The magnet at the top of the bag closes securely as well. It is definitely a well made bag that I would recommend!

Great Colors!
I would've loved to wear this dress, but it ran a little small. My back up size (a size up) was returned in poor condition, but I know that it would've fit great. I usually wear a six, but often order the eight as well. The six fit but was very tight in the hips - this dress is definitely not cut for a woman with hips! The fabric, color and shape of this dress were very classy and definitely looked expensive. I may try to rent the other size for another event in the future!

Pretty Color
I did get so many compliments on this dress, but they were definitely all geared toward the color. The pink is vibrant and fun, and made my pale legs look surprisingly bright. The fit wasn't so flattering, but it was a shift dress after all. This dress was sent to me as a back-up, after my initial rental was returned in poor condition. However, I did end up wearing this one as it fit much better than my other options.

Such a unique dress!
This was my favorite rental yet! The fabric was thick and extremely flattering and the print was show stopping. I got so many compliments on this unique dress... I wish I could wear it over and over again! As far as sizing goes, both the small and the medium fit well. I chose to wear the medium because it was a bit warm outside and the looser fabric was more comfortable temperature-wise. I would suggest that you order this true to size. Regarding the weather, it was in the high 70s when I wore this and, surprisingly, I wasn't as hot/sweaty as I thought I would be. I would recommend this dress to anyone that's looking for an eye catching, unique dress to rent!

Lots of Compliments!
Sweet necklace that was very versatile. I'm wearing it at work in the picture, but it was cute for dressing up over the weekend as well. The necklace was a bit shorter than I expected and the pearls a bit bigger. Definitely check out some photos of people wearing them to make sure it is what you had in mind. The gold bow clasp was super cute and added to a very simple and classy accessory.

Pretty summery dress!
I wore this to my boyfriend's birthday dinner. It was a very pretty dress, but even for someone with a small waist, I had a hard time zipping it. The top was a LOT more loose than the waist. The length of the dress and print of the fabric were great, though. Just be careful if you have a smaller chest, it will gape!

Gorgeous color!
This dress was GREAT! Slimming, thick fabric in a vibrant green makes this dress perfect for any occasion. I rented it with the Slate and Willow Ladies Who Lunch necklace (which you can see closer in the second photo) and paired it with a navy pashmina and navy pumps. The length was perfect on me and the fit was great. I could've worn the 6 had I remembered my spanx, but the 8 was a bit less revealing for a night of partying at the wedding. I definitely recommend this dress!

Beautiful, classy necklace!
I loved the necklace. It was the perfect extra touch for a simple dress. It definitely wasn't too heavy or bulky to dance the night away in. My only complaint is that the pearls were falling off. There were two that I had to reattach and clamp on with pliers. I was scared I'd lose some throughout the night, but it held up well.

The perfect accessory to a cute dress!
I actually didn't take any photos at the dinner party, but these earrings were great. They were just big enough to be noticeable but not too big that they looked tacky. They were a bit heavy but I wore them all day at work and then into the night. I would definitely recommend them to add a little something to your look!

Classy and beautiful.
Love this dress! It cut the waist perfectly and camouflaged bigger hips well. I would definitely recommend it for a more conservative event - it covers up just enough but will still make you feel beautiful! Since I am very pear shaped, I had to go down a size (or two) to make sure it was tight enough on the waist. The 6 fit as well, but the tighter fit of the 4 was much more flattering. I wore it without a bra, as the fabric is thick enough and the back is cut too low for a normal bra... If you're thinking about this dress, rent it!

Seriously gorgeous.
The dress was BEAUTIFUL. Sadly, it was too big. I tried to have a back up (two sizes smaller) sent, but it was already booked for the weekend. Thanks to the wonderful service of RTR, I have an alternative dress on the way! If you are a pear shaped girl like me, this dress is very forgiving. I'm usually an 8, sometimes a 6, but when I reorder this (which I will be doing) I'm going with the four.

The pictures don't do it justice!
Seriously gorgeous necklace. I'm sorry I was terrible about taking photos that night, but none of the other posted pictures I saw showed the rich colors and deep sparkle of the necklace anyway. It wasn't too heavy, and I was actually able to wear it twice in one weekend! My only complaint is that it smelled like someone had dunked it in perfume. I am sure that the woman who rented before me sprayed on her scent, but it lingered strong and gave me a bit of a headache. The necklace itself, though, was STUNNING. Definitely recommend it for any event!

Very nice quality
I was sent this dress after the dress I had originally rented was returned to RTR in poor condition. I ended up wearing the back up size of my original dress instead of this one. However, I can tell you that this dress was made in very good quality and was a simple type of pretty. I ultimately chose the other option due to the somewhat matronly style of this dress. I felt that it was a little too conservative for me. If you are looking for a simple, tasteful dress though, this could be the one!

Classy but fun
There was an issue with the 8 that I had originally ordered, so I was sent my back up in this (a 12, since the 10 had already been rented when I ordered) and an alternative dress. I did not like the alternative at all, so I put on an extra padded bra and was careful to keep this dress up. It was definitely too big, but it worked. The dress was not very flattering on my hips, however. The extra tulle made my hips look larger than they are. Additionally, since the waist wasn't as cinched as the correct size would've been, the fit just was not very flattering. I imagine I would've really enjoyed this dress in the correct size, but I do believe it would be better suited for someone with smaller hips. The dress itself was in good condition. I wore it to a work event and I felt that it was classy enough for the occasion, but also fun with the extra tulle!
