Perfect work outfit
Loved this jumpsuit. Great quality, fabric, and structure. Perfect length pants on me. I love the look of a blouse tucked into slacks but hate when the blouse comes untucked, so this was perfect. The cinching still the waist was extra flattering.

Pretty too but runs large
Good fabric and pretty print, but was very baggy. The XS looked like a medium at least

Well made dress but runs very large
I had rented from this brand previously in my usual 4, and the dress was huge. I rented this dress in a 0, and it fit like a 4. Great, well-made, and well-structured work dress, but size down.

Disappointed
This is definitely cute, but the buttons toward the top gape once the skirt is on. This also fit in the hips but was huge in the waist- this is a problem I have a lot though, so not the skirt's fault. I didn't wear.

Cute
Really cute, easy to wear, flattering dress. I love snake print, and the buttons down the front classed it up for work.

Awkward
Pretty color and interesting neckline, but this cut me off on the lower half at such an awkward place (I'm 5'7"). Maybe it could work if you're taller, but if you're shorter, it would just be dowdy. Also, the fabric is thin and unlined and somehow made me look lumpy even though I'm not.

Beautiful fabric
Pretty print and really beautiful fabric. Not structured but worked okay tucked into high-waisted jeans given that I sized down. I'm a 4 in dresses and a 2 in tops; I wore a 0 in this top.

Odd idea
The neckline is nice and the dress fit very well, but the slit in the front goes LITERALLY all the way up. I tried pinning it, and it was still too high. It was unwearable for me- besides which, I can't imagine that a slit going straight up the front of the dress and showing just your inner thighs would be flattering on anyone.

Really Large
I'm usually a 4 in dresses. I thought this might have run large from the photos, so I sized down to a 2. It was huge. I don't think a 0 would have worked either, because there's just a lot of extra fabric. I considered trying to make it work, but it just felt like a costume on The Handmaid's Tale. If you like a lot of volume, this could work for you, and the fabric and construction are really high-quality.

Beautiful fabric and shape. Sexy but still conservative enough for a business casual workplace. Love

Wonderful Dress
This dress is very well-cut. It was comfortable while still being flattering. Long enough for work. Nice print- the colors were really vibrant against the black.

Short
Runs true to size but is extremely short. The skirt also didn't look like the one in the photo; it was various lengths rather than straight across. All in all a confusing dress; I couldn't wear it.

Beautiful!
Might be my favorite rental so far. Beautiful, light, airy dress. The print is sophisticated, and the silk is honestly a pleasure to wear. Doesn't wrinkle, so it was perfect to take on a beach weekend getaway. Adjustable belt to cinch in the waist creates a nice shape. It was a true 4, but I could have probably sized down as well. Might be a tad short for a traditional workplace, even with tights.

Beautiful print and cut
This dress is absolutely beautifully cut, particularly at the waist. The pleats on the waistline are really flattering and forgiving of bloating, etc. I wore a US 4, my usual size, and it fit perfectly, but I would say it was a SMALL 4. It was very comfortable in the shoulders, but if my waist, bust, or hips were literally any bigger, I wouldn't have been able to get it on. There's no give to the fabric. Also, this isn't really worth demoting it by a star, but the lining in the skirt rides up, which got annoying.

Runs Large
I'm usually a small, and this one felt two sizes too big. I'll try the XS when it's available. The pattern was BEAUTIFUL- vibrant and even had some shimmer to it in places. The fabric has weight and is very seasonally appropriate for fall and winter. My one qualm besides the sizing is that the shirt doesn't narrow at all in the waist like many women's shirts do; I'm afraid the XS will be too big as well. EDIT: Tried the extra small, and it was still very large in the waist. I like to tuck my shirts in, so I had some difficulty.

Good work dress
Beautiful color, pattern, and fabric. Had to safety pin the neckline because it was way too deep for work, but I unpinned it for dinner. Flattering for an hourglass shape, as wrap dresses typically are. I'm not a big fan of flutter sleeves in general, but I knew what I was ordering, so that's on me.

Easy to Wear
Wore this to work, and it was easy to throw on with some tights and Chelsea boots. Simple and flattering and pretty much as advertised. The fabric is stretchy and a little slinky, so it wore nicely without clinging to anything. V is a little deep. My workplace is business casual and I felt comfortable, but it's easy to safety pin if yours is very conservative. The previous customer had returned the dress without a belt, and RTR had kindly emailed me to ask if I wanted to rent something different instead, but I didn't email them back quickly enough before the shipment went out. Since this is a faux wrap dress and the belt isn't necessary to hold anything together, and as the belt loops had been removed, this didn't bother me and I actually preferred it.

Beautiful detail
I rented this for an occasion as an alternative to a dress I own and ended up going with the other one, so I didn't wear it out. Beautiful, intricate lace detailing and in perfect condition. The skirt was fuller than I anticipated, and I like dresses to fit closer to the body, so I don't think I would have gotten use out of it. If you prefer a little volume in the skirt, I think this would be an absolutely beautiful option for a cocktail party. The V is very deep but you could safety pin it if needed. I rented a 4 and perhaps could have sized down, but I can't say without having tried the 2. It was comfortable in the arms but maybe a little big in the rest of the body. Also, I'm 5'7". It hit a little above the knee and the arms were the perfect length.
