Such a cute fit and print
Loved the fit of this dress and the print. Wore it layered over a black turtlenek and loved the look. The leather patches on the shoulders were a bit plasticky looking, which surprised me, but it was toned down by the turtleneck and looked chic.

Great print, perfect fit, amazing dress! If I hadn't bought an animal print dress already this season, I would have kept!

Chic but pulled
I have several Iro jackets and was excited to see them pop up on RTR. This one has a lot of chic details and fits like other Iro jackets. But, this one had a lot of snags and the weave seems to lend itself to snagging in a way that is atypical for Iro woven jackets. Still looks great, but needs caution!

Cute, but a little itchy
The sweater looks great on, with distinct style details and an ability to go from work to casual settings. But, it's on the itchy side.

Beautiful print, good fit
The adjustable straps really helped make this a great fit. I'm really short, so I needed high wedges but the length was great. I packed this for a trip and just didn't get a chance to wear it - which I'm still regretting! I ordered it as Unlimited and almost saved it for a wedding that I have in a couple of weeks, but I think that it is too white to wear as a wedding guest.

Perfect for Miami
I wore this out for dinner and just hanging out in Miami for a weekend with the girls. I'm pear-shaped and ordered the size up from what I would get in a top or a-line dress, but down from what I'd order in a pair of bottoms. It worked out great. Looser up top, but the sleeves stayed put and the shorts fit well. This epitomized a great rental item for me - fun to wear on a vacation but not a practical item to have in my closet.

Beautiful fabric, well cut but voluminous. Only downside - heavy fabric
This dress was beautiful and would be great for a spring party or a shower. The cut is very voluminous but still has a lot of style as opposed to looking sack-like. The fabric is very heavy though, so I wouldn't wear it on a warmer day where you would be outdoors.

Gorgeous print, easy fit
This dress generated a lot of compliments. The peacocks are adorable without being too loud or over the top. The easy fit of the dress was fine on its own but flattering when belted and the bottom ruffle was a great design feature.

Beautiful fabric, fit, colors
Great jacket, lots of compliments. A beautiful piece, great fit, eye catching colors, and luxurious feeling fabric. If I had not purchased a DL10C plaid jacket just last year (though, different shape and colorway...), this one would have made a permanent home in my closet.

Comfortable, chic
I'm a pear shape and shift dresses can be a challenge for my shape. In this dress, the 36 fit perfectly - the top fit well through the chest and shoulders and the bottom hung well without being tight. As others have noted, the neckline is very low but works well as it is covered by the bow. But, it did take a few attempts to get the tie just right. Many compliments, very comfortable. Chic and easy to wear. It looked more black than navy to me.

Lots of compliments on this dress. Color less vibrant in person
The fit and look of this dress were terrific. Lots of compliments, easy to wear, comfortable all day. Color was a little more brown and less currant than it appears in pictures. Also has a slight wrap effect in the bottom from panel which blew around a bit in the breeze.

Unique and comfortable
Many compliments on this top! I planned to wear this for a night out, but ended up wearing it to work also and felt really chic and comfortable in both venues. Very stretchy top could accommodate a range of sizes. May have been a little more flattering in one size down on the bottom portion. Also, a little more yellow than it appears online.

This top was beautiful and generated a lot of compliments. It was flattering and comfortable to wear both to work and on the weekend. I'm only five feet tall, though, and found that it ran fairly short so taller ladies please be advised!

Gorgeous, unique detailing, comfortable
I loved everything about the dress. It fit beautifully, had unique details in the straps and belt, has comfortable fabric with both give and polish... I think it is a seasonless piece and could work well all year round. Really considering keeping it.

Lots of compliments, but top loose and insecure
I was the first to wear this dress (removed the tags!) and I loved it as a transitional piece from end-of-summer to fall. It was comfortable to wear, had a great eye-catching pattern, cool details in layering and tassel tie, and bridged the gap between work and play. That said, it is closed in the front by two hook-and-eyes which I felt were dangerously insecure - even though the top of the dress was a little big for me. I was concerned about both the gapping between the closures and the clasps popping over. That said, it is beautiful and comfortable. I'm still thinking of keeping it - and just adding another couple of hook-and-eyes!

Lightweight, cute, perfect for summer
This style of dress does not flatter my pear shaped figure, but - unlike other straight dresses of this type - fit well and accommodated by curves without being too tight on the bottom. Very lightweight, it was perfect for a hot summer day - it was the perfect thing to slip on when nothing felt comfortable in the heat. Would rent again during the summer!

Easy to carry, held a lot
This bag was easy to wear as a cross body or over the shoulder. I brought it on vacation as an alternative to either a full tote or a clutch and was surprised by how much it fit - I brought my DSLR camera, as well as an extra lens, plus regular stuff (wallet, phone, keys) without a problem. The only issues that I had with the bag were that it is heavy due to the metal pieces, the metal pieces clacked together which made noise as I walked, and it gaped open as the heavy metal pulled the cinched drawstring open. Overall, I liked it, but I'm glad that I had the opportunity to rent it rather than buy it outright.

Memorable print, comfortable
I could have sized down at least one size in this dress - tried this size based on reviews, but could have definitely gone smaller as this one was really loose on the top and midsection and still had good room in the hips. That said, with a black cardigan and boots, it still looked OK. Felt both modern and mod in the dress and comfortable all day. Cool print, well made.

Comfortable and cool
This top was really comfortable to wear to work with unique detailing and comfortable feel. Wore it with black pants and a cardigan, but also removed the cardigan and work and felt that the top was appropriate. As is evident, it doesn't flatter the midsection but flows well and looks nice.

Nice fabric, poor fit for me
Like all Tibi clothing, this dress is well-made and chic. It just did not work for my body. I'm pear shaped and this dress was just slightly snug on the bottom but too big on the top which made me look boxier and larger than I am. Also, I had trouble keeping the sleeves tied - a double knot was too bulky, but a single tie kept coming undone.

Comfortable, unique
The color and the style of this piece are both unique. My husband really liked the piece and kept noticing it and how different it is from other items that I have. Considered buying it but since it is such a memorable piece, I didn't know if I would wear it enough to justify. May just have to rent again when it gets cooler.

Great spring weight, cool pattern
Really love this jacket. Rented it with Unlimited and have held it over after returning other items - and debating keeping it. Great weight for spring - wore on cooler days with a longer sleeve and was comfortable pairing it with a tank on a warmer day. Glad that I sized up, though. Usually an XS in Joie tops but the S fits really well.

Thought could dress up or down...
This just did not fit me well, as can happen with Joie. The top was too loose and lower on me than on the model and the bottom fit but the way that it fit seemed to make me look larger. Combined with the cold snap that followed its arrival, it just wasn't meant to be.

Our plans changed unexpectedly, and I could not wear this dress, but it was so beautiful!
The dress fits true to size and, though I am short, could be worn with heels. I tried it on in the store and it made my waist look small while balancing out my pear shaped frame. The material was comfortable but elegant looking and the back added an extra element of glamour. I wish that I had been able to wear it to an event and hope to have another occasion to rent it (or buy it!).

Great for a girls night
I'm a true pear, usually wearing a 2 on top and a 6 on bottom though I often wear a 2-4 in dresses if the skirt is not too body hugging. The 4 here fit well on the bottom with room in the legs and was a bit too large on top, but fine without too much tugging. The lace looks great and it was perfect for a night out. I liked that the shorts were a bit longer than many jumpers without looking stodgy.

Perfect mix of elegant and edgy
Necklace is intentionally tangled and it creates just the right variation from the typical bib necklace. Good for shorter girls, I think, because it is closer to the neck, like a choker, and thus not overwhelming.

So flattering
This dress was perfect for a wedding - appropriate for the services and so fun for a party. I'm a pear shape, and it looked great - fitted at the waist and flared out below. I usually wear a 2 in a dress shape like this, but sometimes a 4, and the 2 fit perfectly. I wore super high heels which helped since this came a little bit longer on the knee.

Gorgeous - dress up or down
I rented this bracelet for a splash of color and sparkle on a night out. I ended up wearing it the entire weekend - I received compliments on it both with jeans and with the dress. It looked great dressed up and dressed down. I have pretty small wrists and this was a little bit big, but not so big that it looked strange or was in danger of falling off. After the fourth compliment, my husband said, "I'm afraid that one more compliment and you are going to buy that." After the fifth compliment, my husband said, "hmmm... I might need to buy that for you."
