This is plaid (Captain Obvious)
I thought this skirt was a solid color, but it is a dark plaid. I decided to wear it with a farm rio black and orange sweater with toucans on it, regardless. Power clashing.

This garment is ridiculous
Business on top, Winnie the Pooh on the bottom. So ridiculously short for a "business" looking dress. Also the ruching was weird and unflattering.

light and comfy
Got lots of compliments on this jumpsuit. Comfortable, long enough torso for long torso, very lightweight and good for warm and hot weather.

Doesn't unzip enough
I got this over my hips only with great difficulty and baited breath. Once it was on, it fit, but the way the fabric was aligned on the back, it looked like a weird arrow pointing into my butt-crack. That surely was accentuated by it being slightly too short for me. Perhaps if it fit better, it would have just been a gentle peak pointing into my ass. Size up would have been very large on the chest and waist.

Business in the front, Tiktok booty short in the back
Fitted but loose in the waist. Sexy, I wore it for a zoom meeting but wouldn't wear it for actual in person work because it's so tight on the butt. Perfect for a date or cocktail party.

This ran large. Size down. The other saloni I rented with this one ran small. Odd and inconsistent sizing.

Obscene
This is so short that I, having forgotten what I ordered, thought it was a shirt. I couldn't figure out why it had an extra loop of fabric hanging off the waist. Then I realized it was an up-the-butt romper. I have a longish torso but still. This has the coverage of a bathing suit and not a particularly modest one.

One of my favorites
This is cute, comfy, and fits well (well, just fits) on long torso. The tie really cinches the waist how you want and I love the back detail. Has pockets. This was my second rental and I love it.

Pretty dress with really weird shape and fit
Disappointed: so pretty and fabric is light and comfy with a nice metallic thread woven in for sparkle. I may need two sizes up for a good fit in the chest, as small way too small & totally ill fitting. Waist band ~ 2 inches above natural waist, and huge straight area below, before it pleats at the hip and flares out. I can't tell if the middle would drape well in a larger size. V . If you’re an apple shape or very straight this could work. If you’re an hourglass and want to try, size up.

Unflattering bodice
I liked the fabric and it was fun to wear but the bodice did not accommodate my chest at all and it's not very big (deflated 32DD) . This just smushed the girls down and made me look totally flat chested. Everything else was huge.

Nice flow and fabric
Lovely fabric feels good swooshing. Waist very fitted with no stretch and everything else loose. Very elegant (until you wear a bra for a shirt) and a great drape. Wrinkles easily.

Comfy and chic
I loved this jumpsuit. Easy on and off, nice tie waist makes it perfect for hourglass figure. I sized up to medium and nice to have the space on top and bottom and still have a fitted waist, though the small probably would have fit, the bodice is ruched all around so very stretchy. The straps are a bit long and not adjustable so this might not work for a petite woman.

Cute. Hard to put on.
I loved wearing this so much it's my second time renting. A somewhat thick cotton linen blend with a beautiful vibrant orbit. Beautiful back cutout and pretty beaded button detail under the bust. This is not easy to get on and off, to the point I posted a video tutorial on it in the unofficial RTR fbgroup. Essentially you can unzip the pants part, put the neck part on first and and fold your body at the waist to get your legs in and kind of shimmy while standing to pull bottom over your butt.

Nicely tailored work dress, good for hourglass
This was so well tailored for hourglass figure! I have a longer torso and it worked great for me. I'm usually between 4 and 6 and the 4 fit great... so if between sizes I guess size down.

Stretchy and thick. Hard to get on, easy to wear
I liked the thick stretchy fabric, which was very forgiving. There is no zipper so it was a challenge to pull on and off. It was body con on me and I probably could have stood to size up.

Beautiful dress, size up
This dress has a great drape and I love the color and length. The chest doesn't have any give (nor does the rest of the dress), so I went for 6 instead of 4 and I'm glad I did. It's probably more of a cocktail or tea dress but work is the fanciest place I go on a regular basis, so work it will be!

Very low cut, tight sleeves
This has built in cups, and my modest 32dd barely fit in with not too much coverage. The overlay is sheer and the effect is too sexy for the office. I will try to find somewhere else to wear it. Also I couldn't arms over my head. I think a 6 would have fit better (usually between 4 and 6)

Very pretty but tailoring wrong for me
I love the fabric and pattern, and the whole look. It gaped a bit at the top leaving pouchy open space in an area I'd like to minimize. I'm 5'8 and the length was great for me . Looked good with knee high boots. Would rent again but won't buy it: expensive for something that doesn't fit perfectly.

Flowy, interesting cut at top, no bra
I wore this to a ren faire but probably wouldn't wear normally. You can't wear a bra with it (I guess a strapless would work but I don't have one). The tapering of the empire waist is just cinching in both sides, leaving it still pretty loose. This would be good for the beach. Definitely not for fall weather or anything colder. Very pretty print

Got many compliments on this dress at my cousin's wedding. The lace is beautiful and the details are great. I found it looked best with blue shoes as the lace is blue under the red. I would love to rent this dress again some day if I have occasion to do so

Beautiful but not for hourglass shape or busty
Big in the waist, small in the chest, lots of bulk created by the loose layers of fabric. As you can see from other reviews it's beautiful on less curvaceous women. If I hadn't ordered a backup though I would have worn this

Cute and good fabric... Not good for long torso
This is super cute but it's a little shorter in the torso if you are long waisted like I am. I loosened the straps to avoid camel toe but now my bra is showing more than I'd like. Without a bra it didn't lay nicely across my chest and the space between buttons buldged a little. Overall it's flattering and I like how it looks on me. Won't be buying or renting again, though

Beautiful, elegant, sexy, BF friendly
Love this dress. The fabric is light, soft and breathable. The drape is good. Slits not too high on legs. It's pretty low cut and probably shows my bra a little. Def shows bra in the back which is low and laced up. I love the style, cut and pattern. Easy to nurse in. Would rent again.

Not for the hippy
I couldn't pull this up past mid thigh. I think it would have worked for me if the zipper were longer. I'm not going to try another size as I think I'd have to go up pretty far to get it over my hips, in which case it would be huge once it was on.

Cute but itchy
I like the cut and the pattern of the fabric, and it's light and breathable which is nice, but I find the fabric rough and itchy. Considering it can't be worn with a bra, the itch was a bit of a deal breaker. That being said, if you are less sensitive to textures, it's a very cute and easy dress for summer. No bra but not see through and the tie gave me enough support. The straps are long and not adjustable which might not suit women who didn't breastfeed two kids. Oh yeah and it's extremely nursing friendly.

bulky and unflattering
The fabric was nice but there was way too much of it. Way too low cut to wear alone (unless without a bra). Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to take photos because I immediately tripped over it and fell, ripping the hem too much to wear. Had to scramble to change into something else. It was weird because when I looked at myself in the mirror, I didn't think it looked that long on me at 5'8". The chest was small.

pretty, nice tulip shape
I liked the pattern, the way it fit in the waist and back, the length and the hem. She "sleeves" were nice too. The front was very low and the snap closure would not stay closed over my chest. I had to pin it shut and wear it with a sports bra style nursing bra (couldn't find a cami). Good for nursing, although this is a true wrap so when I undid the tie it loosened the dress a bit and you have to be careful not to completely disrobe to nurse.

Chic, comfortable, loose
I love the cut, color and fun neckline of this dress. The length was good. I wanted it to be an inch or two longer while I was wearing it, but looking at the pictures it looks plenty long. This was pretty loose fitting everywhere - I wish I'd ordered a 4 instead of a 6. I guess it's true to size then or a bit big. Might rent again if I have occasion to wear it.

interesting shape
I didn't notice the stripes in the photo, which, admittedly, is my fault. I did, however, think it was going to be solid blue. This shirt is so ridiculously low cut, I instantly regretted not wearing a cami under it. I had to run out the door and I just kept yanking it back up. The button closure in the front is much lower than I wanted it to be, and I'm not a very conservative dresser. The fabric and cut was otherwise good, and i liked it how it was short and not a lot of extra fabric around the waist. It paired well with a high-waisted midi skirt.

Very pretty
Rib cage was very snug and definitely not meant for busty wearer: my boobs were smushed and flattened, but the darts were way above the bustline and left a pouchy areas. A ton of cleavage. Either rock the cleavage confidently or wear something underneath (and it's probably not going to be a bra). I still felt very pretty and feminine in this dress, which I wore to our town fair and then a BBQ. Won't be renting again though due to the awkward fit.

Cute, not great for long torso
I like the fabric, pattern and cut, but I have a long torso so this doesn't really work for me. As you can see it doesn't cover me much at the top. If I try to pull it up more I have a camel toe. If it were a bit longer it would be great. I love the low back and tie detail in the back. I'm still going to wear it for my son's birthday party during the day tomorrow, but it's a little boobier than anticipated.
