I wish I could've rented the matching skirt—maybe I would've felt more positive toward this top. But I found that this top was constantly slipping down and showing my bra! Frustrating. I loved the texture, but the cut and material just didn't feel quite right for my body.

I didn't get great pics of anything I rented for this trip because I was too busy enjoying it! But this dress was SO FRIGGIN CUTE that I wore it twice! And I lovvvvved the adjustability of the fit. I sized up hoping it would help the bust underwires fit okay and they weren't bad! Not a perfect bra fit, but it was good enough. The tie at the neckline actually meant that the bust fit was super adjustable, and the corset ties at the back meant that sizing up wasn't an issue. It has just a liiiiittle bit of boning to help maintain the structure and make you feel really snatched, and the basque waist is also SO FLATTERING. Honestly tempted to buy!

I brought this on a 2-week trip and wore it way more than I expected! Styled it with the Love Shack Fancy set shown in some of RTR's pics, as well as with my own jeans. If you have a lot of tops in the colors of the pattern, it works great. This is a dense knit with good structure, and I loved the length/cut, never felt overwhelmed. However, the sleeves might be long for some—I have long arms and was able to pull the sleeves down over my hands.

I wore this a few times, styled with the matching skirt and/or the sweater in the RTR styling. It's super cute, very flirty, lightweight, lingerie-adjacent. I never wore a bra with this. The first time, I just wore pasties and let it offer zero support; later, I wanted to see if I could get some support out of it, and found that shortening the straps helped offer just a liiiiiittle bit of lift. Different looks, but I appreciated the flexibility.

I LOVED using this on a recent trip—it was big enough to carry all day (I could even fit a small paperback inside!) but not TOO big. My only qualm is the strap. It comes detached easily, sometimes even when you pick it up after putting it down, which makes me nervous. And it only attaches on the back, which is definitely a unique look, but feels slightly less functional. I wish there were an option for a symmetrical, maybe crossbody strap, simply for security when wearing all day.

10/10 New Year's dress! I wish I had a full-length pic; it fit SO PERFECTLY. I didn't wear a bra and the top was perfectly secure without digging in anywhere. The cutout was just enough to feel sexy without showing anything you might feel self-conscious about and sat perfectly in the back. No irritation from the sequins at all. If I'd thought I would have more places to wear it, I absolutely would've bought it!

Fits great, too. The knit is thick and dense, very high quality, and completely comfortable. I wore this to watch Alabama football games, hence the crimson underneath!

I wore this to play a couple of candlelight chamber music concerts, so I knew the cuffs might be an issue. I can't have my arms restricted! The cuffs were ridiculously small, like they wouldn't even go all the way up to where they were supposed to sit (and I don't have big forearms). I just unbuttoned them and tucked them in, which worked well. They stayed put even when I was moving around while playing, but if I'd been concerned, I could've also rigged something up with a hair tie, I'm sure. And the dress itself is so cool! Loved that it was interesting and had just a little bit of edge while still being modest enough to wear for a concert.

I never quite figured out the adjustable waist thing, but I just let them ride low. Wearing them low rise meant they were full-length on me, too, which I prefer with wider legs. They're definitely a funky look, but I really enjoyed it!

Super cute!

But the pair I was sent was brand new, still had the tags on! Would rent again, in a smaller size.

I literally got complimented on this sweater by a TSA agent on my way to an early-ah flight with greasy hair and no makeup!

It is such a statement piece, but also casual and comfy, so it's easy to throw on whenever you need a little color in your life. Love love love.

This bag got TONS of compliments at the wedding I recently went to! It's such a striking, unusual shape and a gorgeous color. Plus, it was plenty big to hold all I could possibly need (phone, keys, cards, cash, touch-up makeup, etc). The only downside is that it is a little heavy, even when it's empty, and it doesn't sit comfortably as a shoulder bag, so it's a bit of a pain to carry.

I'm a pro classical musician, so I wear a LOT of black outfits and this dress fit all my very particular requirements. I wore it for two performances and it was SO FRICKIN COMFY. Not overly warm, very stretchy, very flowy. I would've bought it BUT the turtleneck felt a little *too* covered for me. But if that's the look you prefer, this dress is modest while still being flattering and so so easy to wear—go for it!

Ugh, I wanted this to work so badly, because I love the design and the quality. But the length was just at that awkward place where it looks like you're wearing hand-me-downs. If it were a different cut on the legs, I think it could work, but not with this sort of flare. I'm not even tall, 5'6", and would need a long size I guess! Ended up returning.

This was the last dress I tried on in my haul and ended up just lounging around in it for the rest of the night, it's that comfy! Stretchy, soft, forgiving, and so easy to put on that it doesn't even have a zipper. Unfortunately, the pleats are very relaxed on the one I received (probably due to repeated wear) and the design just wasn't that exciting compared to other styles. If I were going for an elegant holiday gala look and not a fun fall wedding, this might've won, but I ended up wanting something a little spicier.

The person who wore this dress before me had pinned the slit shut a little bit, and I thought that was telling! It's SUPER high. This dress is very fiddly, with the one shoulder AND the cutout AND the slit. I feel like it was only comfortable and looked good in one specific configuration, but once I moved, I kept having to adjust it. And that was just trying on in my bedroom—I wouldn't want that all night at an event. I might've still gone with it had I not found a more flattering option, though. The fabric is so fun and for the right event, it could be great!

I sized up mostly because that's what was available, but also a lot of reviews said the waistband was tight—that was not the case for me at all! I had a good 3-4 inches of extra material at the waistband, and for a dress that depends on a good waist fit for the blouson effect to work, that was just not it.

I wore this to Christmas dinner with my family! It was the perfect balance of festive but casual. I can totally see what other reviewers say about this being frumpy, so I styled it a little differently—I didn't button it all the way up, I rolled up the sleeves, I added a simple belt to highlight the waist, and I wore it with some edgy, modern boots. Definitely not matronly!

This dress was so strange. I loved the mix of prints, I loved the sheer floaty fabric, I loved the cutouts... but somehow on me, it looked very Little House on the Prairie. Something about the high neckline, sleeves, and length just read very conservative! I know it sounds crazy, but I was just as shocked as you are.

The sequins are way more beautiful than a still picture can convey—the lighter ones have this incredible iridescent shift that changes as you move. Absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad I got a medium in this one; I think it fit very well, or at least correctly/as intended. It's not the stiffest dress in the world, but it only has the tiniest little bit of stretch, if any. It's also bra friendly, which is nice. However, I just don't think the cut is for my body type. It's tightest on my hips/butt, which I expected. But my waist is kind of lost, and my bust has definitely looked better. I actually had serious space in the top, which is NOT a usual occurrence for me! This dress is not BAD, but I think it would look better on a straighter or more top heavy body type.

This is SO GORGEOUS, I can't even! If I could buy this, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Because I'm not even exaggerating, this is everything I want in a dress. I feel like it's versatile, it's unique, it's eye-catching without being obnoxious, it's high quality, the fit is flexible (thanks to the stretchy panel at back), it's a little bit sexy with the deep V but not TOO sexy thanks to the sleeves and the length. The only drawback for me is that the back is juuuust a little too low to wear a bra, but you probably don't want to with the neckline anyway. The sleeves also felt like they might slip off my shoulders if I wasn't careful, but they do have those grippy strips at the top, which helps a lot. Seriously, I'm off to see if I can buy this anywhere. I need this dress in my life for more than the rental period!

I wore this all day today for a good ol' girls' day of shopping and dinner with my mom, now that we're both fully vaccinated. It's SO cute, and I got multiple compliments throughout the day! My mom even asked why I couldn't just wear this to the wedding I was shopping for ;) BUT, like others have said, the sizing IS weird. (Based on reviews, I sized up to a 6; I'm 5'6", ~135lbs, 32DD, 37-26-39.) FIRST of all, the bodice feels way too long. (And judging by other reviews, I'm not the only one that felt this way.) If they had cut it an inch or two shorter in the shoulders, it would solve the bra-showing issue completely—I know because I had to be hyper-vigilant about periodically pulling the shoulder seams up and pulling the extra fabric down my back. SECOND, the buttons do gape, like a lot, and in weird places. It gaped most for me between the second and third button—which was at the waistline, at the smallest part of my waist! Very odd. I safety pinned that gap, which made me feel comfortable enough to wear it. THIRD, I noticed the fabric bagged out a little over the course of the day. (I will note, it was warm and I spent a lot of time outside. Let's just say, I got DEWY.) So it felt very nicely fitted when I put it on in the morning, but after ~8 hours of wear, it felt loose, bordering on too big. By the time I got home, I almost wished I'd gotten my regular size!

There's probably an extra 3" up top, especially in the collar. But if I pin this dress up, it looks nice! I took pics just holding the neck piece back, with the better fitted versions on the left. I haven't decided if I'm actually going to wear this to the event, but despite the strange fit, it's my favorite option so far! I'm 5'6", ~135lbs, 37-26-39, and got a small. I don't know if sizing down would've completely solved the problem, but it very well might have helped.

This lace is everything it looks like on the website and more—absolutely incredible! Everything about this dress is unique; if you want to stand out in a crowd, this one will do it! However, the fit on this bad boy is WEIRD. I'm 5'6", ~135lbs, 37-26-39, 32DD, and got a size 0. I was a little nervous about getting that size (COVID has hit us all!), especially that it wouldn't fit over my booty. But actually that part was no problem at all! The trouble came when I tried to put on the sleeves—I legit couldn't even get them up my arms, and I don't usually have problems there. Oh well, they weren't my favorite part of the dress anyway, and I'd read some reviews where people tucked them in and just used the cold shoulder part as a sleeve hole, so I did that and it was fine. However, I just wasn't happy with the fit of the top, even after I did that. There was just no room for my bust; it felt almost like I was wearing a breastplate from a suit of armor, just smooth and solid and smushing me down. This dress is a stunner, so I'm sad it didn't work for me. But I would recommend it all day long for smaller-chested ladies!

This dress is GORGEOUS, exactly as pictured! However, the fit was off for me, which made it not the winner for my event. I'm 5'6", ~135lbs, 37-26-39, so pretty much a true hourglass, and I got a 4L. I don't normally get long/tall lengths, but in this case the length was great; it would've been just sweeping the ground once I added heels. (If you're my height and want to wear flats, I'd go for the regular length, maybe even short.) The top half fit really well, even a little bit loose. But the BOTTOM HALF. Oh man. There was just like a 4" wide strip that was WAY narrower than it needed to be, right around the widest part of my hips, from just above my hip crease down to the upper thigh. There's literally zero stretch to this fabric, too. The fact that the hip area was so tight meant that, when I moved, there was also bunching of the extra fabric around my waist. I could walk and sit okay—somehow it didn't ride up—but I could tell I just wouldn't be happy about it for a full evening. Considering that I was already on the fence about whether this made sense for my event (brocade at a summer wedding?), I just couldn't get past the fit. But if you're a little less hippy than me, and maybe going to an event in the fall/winter, this dress could be incredible!
