SIZE UP! This is TIGHT around the torso with XERO give. Hard to breath, but loose everywhere else?
I am normally a size 4. This designer tends to run a bit small and tight in the torso in other pieces I've rented from them. This dress was no exception. Its loose from torso down, but was so tight around the rib cage that I couldn't breath. Had to return without wearing. It was new with tags too, darn. I will size up and rent again, if that is still too small one size up, then I give up because everywhere else was pretty loose already. Such a pretty print and lightweight fabric.

Such a simple, beautiful dress. No bra required, felt so elegant. No stretch in the rib cage
All I needed was a little double sided tape to make sure the girls stayed put and I was ready to go. No bra required and for vacation that is the best! I dressed down with some sandals and up with some heels. Loved this dress and would have bought if I could afford. Will absolutely rent again. I was being stopped in Hawaii and told how nice the dress was.

RUNS SMALL, sleeves fit awkwardly
Wanted to love, but as others warn it runs SMALL with no give and the top kept running and bunching over the under slip. The sleeves got uncomfortable after a while also. I didn't end up wearing it as it was uncomfortable to even sit in. Beautiful dress though.

Shape hugging fit with the best twirling bottom, but the material hurt to sit on after a while
Let me start by saying that I LOVED how this dress looked on. Its very form fitting material and if you aren't confident about your midsection, you may not like how unforgiving the shape and material is. Also sitting on it throughout the day actually hurt. I had to sit off to the sides, something about the stripes texture, still really liked it. Would rent again, but not for all day wear since it got so uncomfortable to sit on.

The material is like a shaped cardigan. SO MANY COMPLIMENTS. So unique and versatile
I absolutely loved this blazer. Unfortunately it runs small and the stitching at the shoulder adds a ruffle detail that popped up awkwardly on me because the fit was too small, still loved it and wore it twice. The details of the flower stitching is so eye catching. Will rent again in a size or two up.

Perfect spring/Easter dress. Fit snuggly & very flattering shape. Not see through at all
Form fitting with some stretch that makes for a very flattering fit (typical fit of an Alexia Admor sheath) Can't go wrong if you want a very feminine fit with elegant finish. The print was made for a spring day or Easter Sunday.

Soft fabric, dress kept its shape well. Seems simple, but elegant.
I especially liked the collar area and how it sits just away from your chest, hard to explain but looked really elegant. I'm 5'7 and it came down to my lower calf. For being such soft material, the dress held its shape surprisingly well. Would rent again.

Unique, edgier cut in a beautiful color with fringe detailed sleeves & collar. So many compliments!
I loved how this dress hugged my shape, but was still very comfortable. Paired with mustard boots and a mustard head wrap and brought out the color even more. Would rent again. Be aware it wrinkles easily and something with the way the the sleeves were sewn can make the fringe keep popping straight out a bit awkwardly

Who doesn't love neon animals and lace?! Lions, giraffes, and monkeys, oh my! Built in bra so its a ready made outfit that was meant for vacationing. Statement piece that I loved so much I bought.

Comfy, stretchy material. Pretty basic even with the ruffle detail. Fine for work.
It fit loos in the mid section and had no inner lining on the bottom. Overall it was a fine choice for work. I added a belt because it was over all it was kind of plain. Beautiful color though, perfect periwinkle.

Runs SMALL bunches at hips awkwardly. Slit goes ALL THE WAY UP. Total fail
I wanted to like this. I mean really wanted to like this. I was dreaming about this skirt, planning outfits around it, and was so excited to try a leather pencil skirt. I should have listened to my fellow RTR renters. Runs SMALL, fits super awkwardly, and bunches at the hips. I uploaded a picture to show how much the slit opens when you sit down. I have pretty average to straight hips and it still gaping open. Unwearable. Perhaps my worst rental yet. Listen to the other reviews, lesson learned.

So extra in the best way! Warm, comfy, and so flashy! Felt like a rock star all day!
The sleeves are short, but meant to be that way. The length fits right at my hips so it doesn't seem to over sized. I'm 5'7" and I feel like the S was perfect. I had so much fun finding ways to rock this show conversation piece. Got SO MANY compliments and it is really warm. I REALLY wish I could buy this coat! For now, I'll be keeping for a good long while.

A little bit of shimmer on this slim fitting show stopper
I loved this dress even more in person! Form fitting, but very comfortable. Breathable long sleeve, not itchy or stuffy. The length feel right below the knee, just covering the knee, I'm 5'7''. Goes will with brown/black/creme/red booties. So versatile. I can wear to work or pair with some strappy heels for drinks with the girls. There is a shimmer/sheen to the cream color that adds some pop and makes it seems more dressed up. Loved so much that I bought!

Fun print on a flattering, feminine cut. Runs Large
I took a chance on this dress as animal print isn't usually a go to for my work wardrobe, I wasn't disappointed. I saw from other reviews that the dress runs large, I'm usually 4-6, ordered sz 4. It fit perfectly. I belted it and wore with brown booties. I got so many compliments and loved the fun print and fit so much, I ended up buying it! I can't wait to dress this up with maybe a fun red blazer and red heels or black leggings and knee high boots. So happy to have branched out with my RTR Unlimited and discovered something new I love.

Thin material with no built in slip. Too tight and revealed everything underneath. Didn't Work
I got this dress for the cut, hoping that the dress would compare to a flap dress sheath dress from Badgley Mischka that I absolutely loved. The difference in quality was astounding. This material was very thin single layer with no built in slip. It revealed every stitching of my undergarments and even the cellulite of my thighs and butt I'm embarrassed to say. Definitely NOT work appropriate. I'm usually between a 4-6, I sized up to a MED and it was cut correctly, but just too tight on the skirt. Sent back with out being able to wear this to work. The cost to buy was really affordable, but ultimately not worth a dress that can't be worn to work. If you love this cut, get the Badgley Mischka Ocean Flap Sheath Dress instead!

Fit beautifully. Looked professional. Total standout!
Took a risk and thanks to RTR Unlimited I decided to take a chance on a bright romper I normally wouldn't invest in and am so happy I did! It fit both TTS and also very flattering. I liked so much, I'm considering buying and who would have guessed such a bright unconventional work option looked SO good with a fitted blazer and some snake skin booties. It seems revealing, but the back is completely covered and wasn't much different than a sleeveless shirt. Take a chance and treat yourself. Update: after wearing all say as a 5'7" woman, when I bend or lean forward, it's constricting on the neck because it has not stretch or give. Still really liked!

Tight, Stiff, and overall unflattering.
I wanted to like this dress, I saw in other reviews that its tight on the top with no give. They were right. I'm broad shouldered and it was tight on top, not comfortable to wear all day. The dress was very stiff over all. I looked like a 2-D cut out from the front. Also, the islets on each side of the buttons on top are see through, a under cami is necessary, adding to the tight fit on top. It looked a bit too conservative and like it was meant for someone with more pear or curvey shape to fill in the stiff bottom. Not for long, slim, or athletic bodies, you will look bulky. I returned without wearing.

Thick material, very flattering. Comfortable. Loved so much I bought it!
I didn't think I would love this dress as much as I did. I like Alexia Admor dresses for their fit and feminine touches, this dress is no exception. It fit nicely and looked classy. The material is thicker than it seems in picture. I liked it so much I purchased it in one sz up (M) so that it would be comfortable enough to wear all day at work.

So versatile and sexy! Have rented twice now! Adjust to 3/4 for a more bell sleeve.
I wore this for work with a chunky scarf, opaque tights and black heels and then dressed up a bit by losing the tights and adding a leather jacket and some booties for cocktails! You can be especially daring and pair with a faux fur coat! Works for work or dress it up for date night. The color is deeper in person, more wine colored. I had to edit this review from 4 to 5 stars since I haven't stopped thinking about this beautiful dress since I rented it, and ended up BUYING it after renting it a second time.

Very flattering, feminine fit, still work appropriate. For work to cocktails seemlessly
One of my favorite dresses! The fit is so flattering and comfortable. The shoulders are wide and looks very classy. Comfortable material. Be aware though that the material 'fuzzes' in some areas easily. So if you want to own it, it may start to look fuzzy, but a lint roller doesn't take this fuzzing away. The dress moves seamlessly from work to cocktails. I wore to work and a professional function. Both times many compliments.

Much lower cut than it seems, very tight on torso with no stretch. Belt hung weird.
I wanted to like this dress. I fit a 4/6 and am a 34B, I rented this in a 4 and it was really tight around my torso/waist. It is much lower cut than the picture seems, I couldn't wear it to work. The belt hung awkwardly as well. The bottom was flowy and pretty, but the top of the dress didn't work. There are 2 inner buttons to create the wrap and they make one inlet smaller so you can tell which button hoes where, but it was still very confusing. Sent back without wearing.

People thought this dress was tailored to me, so classy. A bit tight at waist/torso. Overall amazing
This is one of my favorites. I normally where a size 6 and tried this in a size 4 and should have gone a size up as the arm hole and waist/torso are a bit tight and they don't stretch. That said, this dress is beautiful! The fit is so flattering and classy. So many compliments, people thought it was tailored to me. Even though the skirt portion is double layered, my tights and underwear lines could still be seen. This is truly a professional work dress. I felt like I was wearing a feminine power suit. Paired with black heels and a blazer. Will rent again!

Scratchy, uncomfortable. Unflattering fit. Tappers at the bottom making walking difficult.
This is partially my fault, I didn't realize this is a 100% wool dress. The material is thick and scratchy. As soon as it put it on I began to sweat and then get itchy. The fit is not very flattering either. I'm 5'7" and it stopped at my lower calf and just didn't look right. I tried adding a belt to add shape, but since the striped pattern starts so high up, it didn't work. It tappers at the bottom as well making wide steps uncomfortable. I sent it back without wearing it.

I really wanted to like this, runs large and fit like a potato sack.
I really wanted to like this dress. It looks great on the model, but as other reviews have mentioned, this runs LARGE. I'm tall (5'7") and broad and it fit like a potato sack. And don't you dare sweat in it, because it shows up really quickly and feels uncomfortable when this material is wet. The material is also scratchy. The turtle neck sat stiffly too, not like in the photos. I sent it back without wearing it.

Even more beautiful in person, material is flowing and very elegant. So many compliments!
This dress looks so much better in person, it looks has more blue tones and more obvious floral pattern. Its an A-Line which tends to be tight on my ribs and torso since I'm broad, but not this dress. It fit beautifully and was comfortable to wear all 10 hours at work. I was surprised that the material doesn't stretch, but allows me to move comfortably. Very well made, high quality. Would rent again!

Got lots of compliments, looks even better in person. The sleeves at elbows are a bit tight.
I really liked this dress. It was a bit snug at elbows due to the hem not being flexible, but not uncomfortable. Although A-Line not too tight over ribs. It wasn't the most comfortable to wear over a 10 hour work day, but would wear again because it was so well received. The material of the double layer skirt sits and flows nicely.

Different take on your typical LBD, thick material and so flattering. I LOVED THIS!
I absolutely loved this dress. I wore both for New Years Eve Party and work and it transitioned perfectly. A little tight around the bust and arms, but flexible. You can't tell in photo, but the material is very thick and feels like you are well supported. It adds shape with the tight under dress and looser popover. Different than anything else I've seen on here. Definitely renting again!
