A Bit Silly But Pretty
I apparently can't read and didn't notice this was a cover up. I can't imagine spending that amount of money for this item but once I had it I enjoyed wearing it to the beach. It was classy and pretty and I did love it.

Angelina Coverup Dress
Ramy Brook
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38G
Way Too Tight/Restrictive
I'm between a 14 and 16 but would have had to lose 30 pounds to fit into the 14 in this. It's really pretty but rigid and juat didn't work for my larger bust.

Flattering and Comfortable
Loved wearing this and wore it multiple times. It was comfortable and flattering and a really pretty color. I will say it's a bit itchy without a bra so would suggest adhesive cups.

Loved!!
This is one if my favorite rentals ever. So soft and comfy, like PJs, while being incredibly flattering. It's a softer version of the best t-shirt dress that I can imagine and I was sad to send it back.

Makes a Great Dress
I'm average height but the skirt was very long on me. As others have mentioned it's definitely wearable as a dress and looked pretty cute on me that way.

So Frumpy
These felt incredibly comfortable but looked pretty terrible and dumpy on me. I also noticed that even though the waist was slightly big, the attached belt had holes seem to be made for someone a couple of sizes smaller than I am - I couldn't properly belt the. I made them work and ultimately wore them twice but didn't love them and didn't get any comments.

Plaid Barrel Leg Pants
Rosetta Getty x RTR
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38G
Extremely Long Torso
This was super cute on the hanger but the fit was really off and I don't think it would work for most people. I'm 5'4" and the "waist" landed below my hips and made the dress really unflattering and boxy. For someone with a really long torso (where the waist fell at the waist) the skirt would be short. Maybe if I went down a size it would be better but then I think it would be tight in my bust.

Cute in Theory...
I never actually ended up wearing this. I tried it on but it was a little bit too short in the torso for me and I'm only 5 ft 4 in. I also found it a little clumsy to put on with the one strap. Maybe I would wear it if I were more comfortable wearing crops or had a good pair of high-waisted jeans to pair it with, but it was a miss for me.

Small in Bust
I don't normally rent lower-end brands from RtR but I needed a dress for a concert and this seemed perfect. The size guide says it fits sizes 14 to 16 which is exactly where I land. It was great from the rib cage down but I am busty and could not button up the top two buttons without being unflatteringly compressed. I kept them unbuttoned andwore a black tank top peeking through and that was fine. Wouldn't rent again, but it worked fine for the one time I wore it.

Super Basic but Great
I wore this dress three times while renting it - once with casual sandals and twice with winter boots during a cold vacation. Love its versatility! It was extremely comfortable and easy to wear. I probably could have gone down a size so if you're between sizes definitely size down because it's pretty stretchy. I'd love to buy it but for how simple it is it's a little bit too pricey for me.

Lio Ribbed Midi Dress
By Malene Birger
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38G
Tight in the Waist, Boxy Fit
I'm a 14/16 and the XL was close to not fitting in the waist/hips. That led to a really boxy look on me that I didn't love.

Short Torso
I'm 5'4 and felt like the torso on this was pretty short. I saw other comments that it's baggy in the crotch area but for me the top half was slightly short leading to the crotch definitely not being baggy. Maybe it's because I'm fairly busty so maybe someone that has a smaller chest wouldn't find that to be the case.

So Cozy but Enormous
I'm a size 14/16 but the 16 of these were huge on me. I could have worn a 12. So dang comfy though.

Such a Small Waist
I'm so confused by the reviews saying this is too big. I'm a 14/16 and rented an XL thinking it might be slightly snug. The neck hole is huge but the waist wouldn't have fit a size 12 even. Cute to look at, but so tiny.

So Small, Didn't Wear
I'm usually a Large or XL but the XL in this was not going to squeeze onto me. It's a gorgeous dress but has no give and the sizing seems off for my curvy body type.

Halle Midi Dress
La DoubleJ
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38G
Comically Small
I'm generally a size 14 or 16 (16 in the bust) and RTR suggested that I order an XL in this style. I got it in an XXL, just in case, and it was comically small on me. It was even snug in the hips, which is not usually an issue for me. I managed to get it on and almost couldn't get it off. I thought I was going to have to cut off a $900 dress. The style itself was okay but definitely looked a bit frumpy in the brief time I had it on. If you have curves, definitely size up.

Cute but Snags Easily
This looks great on, but like many sweater dresses, it snags on things easily. I don't think these will wear well over time.

Short but Not Cropped
I found this to be a really strange length. I kept having to tug it down but it wasn't exactly cropped. Bummer because I really liked it otherwise.

Pretty pattern, great fit
I got married casually and fairly last-minute so I ordered a bunch of untraditional dresses to potentially wear. This one won. Fit was great, even with my large bust. It had a bit of weight to it without making me too hot. And with nudes undergarments, it wasn't see-through. Loved it.

So Cute but Comicly Small
I don't think the XL would fit someone above an 8/10. It's a gorgeous dress but I couldn't squeeze into it.

Cute Overall
This dress is cute and while I didn't remove the collar, I like that there's the option. It didn't feel too hot even in the 100 degree southern weather. It worked well for my larger bust. My one complaint is that there's an unnecessary zipper that's really irritating - it's rigid like underwire and kind of digs into my side and underarm.

Great Dress with a Major Adjustment
I love how stretchy the top of this dress is (great for my larger bust) and it's so comfy and flattering. BUT it looked ridiculous on me if I wore it correctly. When I first put it on it looked super conservative and unflattering with a very high neck - also not great for the summer heat. So I turned it backwards and that's a gamechanger with a great scoop neck. Definitely something to try if you have a similar experience.

Usual Size: 14

Sides Quite Short
I don't feel like this shows in the model photos but the sides of this shirt are pretty short (like mis-drift length) so unless I wore really high-rise bottoms, my sides showed. With that said, it's a really pretty fabric and overall fairly flattering on me (with high-rise bottoms).

Weird Fit
The other reviews I see are great, so I hate how much this didn't work for me. I'm not sure I've written another review in the 10 or so years I've used RtR but feel like I need to. The dress looks great on the hanger. But on me it was very tight in the chest (flattened me) but huge everywhere else. The pockets stuck out so it looked like I have huge hips, which looked especially bad given the chest tightness. I don't think this is for busty people - I would have to size down for it to fit below the chest but then it wouldn't have even fit up top. I couldn't wear.
