The color is so flattering, feminine and on trend. Looked great as part of a monochrome 'fit for work

Sexy, comfy & flattering
This dress is gorgeous! It arrived new with tags and I held on until I had an occasion to wear it on a trip to Vegas. But it would also be lovely for a date night or party back home. The illusion print made me feel snatched and super confident. The fabric is thick to hide any imperfections and straps are adjustable. They can also be removed. The leg slit is hot and adds more interest. It fit true to size. Highly recommend!!!

Very short
This dress was cute in theory but was way too short on me and felt juvenile.

Dress/tunic/top
This was very short though it fit well everywhere else. I guess you could pull it off with opaque tights, but I paired it with black leggings and wore it as more of a tunic top with combat boots to a concert. It does have black lining so no sheerness issues. I love Rachel Antonoff dresses because of the whimsical prints and this caviar dress/top was no different. A very fun rental!

Gorgeous color + super comfy
I loved this sweater and wore it many times. Warm and cozy (but not super warm) and the color is the perfect bold cherry red. Lots of compliments. A must rent

Wore to work and got tons of compliments. My only complaint is that the waist was a tad large. Would probably try a size 2 next time.

Beautiful oversized shacket
Classic, chic. A great complement to an all black outfit. Looks great with a black legging or denim and a boot/bootie. Pretty warm but not itchy so great with anything from a turtleneck to a sleeveless v neck blouse. Have kept through a couple swaps.

Cute and femme
Wore over a pale pink turtleneck with dark jeans and cream combat boots. Very cozy sweater with a very reasonable crop (could wear over a tucked in shirt with high rise jeans and not feel like you need to pull it down constantly. The feminine details are really sweet and unique (embroidered patch and pretty buttons) and it's a great take on the prep school argyle sweater look.

High slit
I really loved the skirt. High quality and great fit except the slit was a bit high. I wore for a holiday dinner and wished I had a little more coverage sitting.

A little short but fun and comfy
This was sexier than I expected but I really enjoyed it for a nice celebratory dinner out. Comfortable mesh fabric with lining, cool print and I always love a turtleneck/mock neck.

Showstopper
This dress is amazing. Beautiful with a slight golden sparkle, differentiates it from the basic black dress. I loved the ankle length so you can rock some awesome heels. I ordered small and medium and the small was perfect (usually a size 4 or 6). HL pieces are great because they are fashion and shape wear all in one. No additional undergarments required. I was super comfortable and danced all night!

Fun animal print dress
I loved the mixed animal prints and patterns on this dress. It was a bit short but tights helped. I also found that the tie front was not terribly flattering and the dress was quite short. Overall fun to try but not one of my top picks from RTR

70s glam
I felt like a million bucks in this jumpsuit. Super comfortable and easy to wear. The side cutout was very flattering. I did not wear a bra and felt sufficiently supported. I would opt for the regular length next time, as I still felt like I was in danger of tripping despite being 5'8" and wearing 4" wedge heels. The color is gorgeous and I got a ton of compliments!

Dirty martini
This dress was super flattering and comfortable. I loved the mock turtleneck and how thin and breathable the fabric was. Just note that the arms etc are sheer and straps of a regular bra will show. I opted for a strapless bra. Would also look so cute in warmer weather without the tights

Hot pink dream
I LOVE this dress!!! The ruffled straps were subtle enough that they didn't distract from the rest of the dress. The length is the perfect mini - short without being obscene. The fabric is thick and held me in. A little tight around my peloton thighs but nothing that detracted from my enjoyment. Also note that the straps are a bit long. I attended a screening and had no issues but I can't attest to how it would fare for dancing etc.

Would be fab if the fit wasn't so weird
I am 5'8" and previously rented the 6L but it was so long (even with 4+ inch heels) that I ended up not being able to wear it. Based on my past experience, I rented a 6R for my office holiday party. The 6R was too short in the leg and torso and gave me a camel toe, so I had to find something else to wear. It's a shame because I love everything else about this jumpsuit. It just seems there is no size that I can wear without making alterations.

I loved this dress so much! I felt so feminine but professional. So many compliments! Another wonderful day to night dress. Went out with my girlfriends from work for happy hour the day I wore it and it did double duty very successfully that day!

Sexy dress for a night out
Love this dress. The high neckline balances out the short length but do keep in mind that it is quire short!! Got tons of compliments and felt great in it, even though it was a bit tight under the bust. You'll also need someone to help you zip it up!

cute dress, but slightly odd fit
I was excited to try a collared work dress, and this was the first one I've found that I actually wanted to wear out of the house. I paired it with a fitted blazer and grey heels for a court hearing (I'm an attorney) and a day at the office. It was a hit among my colleagues and I got many compliments! My only complaint is that the waistband was rather loose (not helping emphasize my waistline), while the bust area was very tight. Sorry for the awkward bathroom mirror selfie, but hopefully you can see the pulling at the bust. This might be better on someone with a smaller bust. But overall, very happy I tried it!

MY FAVORITE DRESS OF ALL TIME. The pictures don't do justice to how glamorous this dress is on. I felt like an old Hollywood movie star when I put this on. Wore it to a black tie optional wedding, and wasn't definitely the best dressed (after the bride, of course). The sequins are a bit itchy, mostly on your arms where they brush against the fabric, but it is totally worth it. A show stopper, and a huge hit. Also, I'm usually a 6 or 8 because of my boobs (I'm a 36C or D). I wore the size 10, but should have worn the 8. The dress does have a surprising amount of give.

Loved this dress! Got a lot of compliments... perfect for my law school formal. My only complaint was that the boning that gave the top its form was a bit bent out of shape. Still enjoyed wearing it.

Loved the dress, except that the sequined straps were always a bit loose and I felt like I had to readjust regularly to make them look good. Got lots of compliments, though. Definitely a bold choice for a special event.
