Better plaid pants available
Really liked the side fringe detail but I should have kept my normal size. The fabric has more give, stretched out over the course of the day, and was lower cut than I anticipated so to hide the waist and crotch bagginess I wore a long jacket. IMO there are better made plaid pants on RTR look at those first.

Great top for 'whatever'
Effortlessly chic and great for travel. I paired this with the Tommy Hillfiger check pants and it was a perfect combo. Perfect for a cold weather nice dinner, party, or work.

Possibly the best pants on the planet
I wore these 3 times over the course of two weeks. They were extremely versatile - wore them for a birthday, a client meeting, and a nice dinner. Can be worn to look preppy or a little punk. Make your butt look amazing. Flattering fit. Quality fabric. SO many compliments. I will be buying these. Ignore my messy closet my only regret is that I didn't get more pics in these.

Cute dress could size down
Dress is versatile and was very flattering on. It's a good length for work (with tights) but a little large around waist area so I think I would size down if I were buying. Be careful with the threads too as they do come loose thoroughly the day and makes the dress look a little less polished. Wore to a nice dinner and a client meeting before returning.

Small in chest/rib cage, skirt draped oddly
Was really excited about this one but it was really tight around my torso and then the skirt kind of puckered out from my waist. Thought letting it hang for a day or two would fix it but it's a knit material and part of the construction it seems. Couldn't figure out a way to make it work and returned without wearing. Size up at least one size, two to be safe.

Really short, awkward tailoring too
Rented this as a backup for a casual summer wedding and it was way too short to wear for that purpose. As other reviewers mentioned, it does run small. I ordered a UK 10/US 8 (my normal size is a 4) and it was still a little tight in the hips. Also the front of the dress has a flouncy hem but the back is a few inches shorter and straight like a shift which felt like a weird design decision. I considered wearing this backwards (haha!) but I ended up wearing this during the daytime with a jean jacket and sneakers to help hide the bunching and the length.

Adorable
I wore this for a cocktail attire late summer wedding and thought it was absolutely perfect for a warm evening. Adorable frill details, comes with a slip underneath, great length and true to size. Pattern wasn't too busy either - dress is like a light powder blue and the flowers are a faded red-orange.

INAPPROPRIATELY SHORT
Rented this as a backup and thank goodness I liked my first pick because this was so short it felt inappropriate to wear it in public so it stayed in the bag... bummer because other Rhode dresses in the same size fit fine. I could see this as a bathing suit coverup maybe.

Fun and Chic
Initially intended to wear this for a golf tournament but felt it was too hot that day so I wore it for a birthday dinner that night once it cooled down. It was super cute and easy to wear. I'm 5'7" and wore a S and felt it was true to size and the right length for a casual-ish affair (though I opted to wear it with platform sneakers instead of heels). I had another Rhode rental that weekend in a size S and couldn't wear that dress because it barely covered my upper thighs...

LOVED this dress
This dress was extremely flattering and the perfect amount of sexy without feeling inappropriate. It does run a little big, I probably could have sized down but it still worked! Another woman at the wedding came up to me and asked if I rented this from here because she had a few months prior and it was still her favorite dress to date.

Cute in theory but some of the tiers were bagging
Loved the pattern and style of this dress but glad I rented a backup option. Some of the tiers near the waist didn't lie flat, they sort of bagged out. Not sure if that's a defect of the dress construction or from multiple wears but it looked like I had a pouch on my lower back which was not cute.

Leg-endary!
This dress knocked it out of the part. I felt sexy and comfortable at a formal winter wedding. I'm 5'7" and probably could have gone with the longer size since I wore relatively high heels but all in all great. You will need to adjust the dress when you stand up to make sure the dress is covering everything (the slit is high!!) but that's just part of the deal.
