Fun dress
Rented this for a wedding, the cutouts were a bit more than I was hoping so I didn’t wear it out.

Warm and soft!
The material is very nice which you don't always get with faux fur. The arms were long enough, even in a size medium!

Great pattern, didn't love the fabric.
The pattern of this dress is beautiful, however the feel/weight of the fabric left something to be desired. In pictures it looks flowy, soft, and light. In person the dress was very crumpled/wrinkled and the feel was that of a fabric that shouldn't be washed but gets washed and then has a starchy feel after.

Fun summer dress!
I wore this dress on the 4th of July for a bbq. It is comfortable and lightweight, perfect for summer. I used fashion tape to close a small gap at the bust and added a scarf as a belt to bring the waist in. Important: the back of the bodice is completely sheer so I didn't wear a bra.

Fun work dress!
Second time renting this dress, I rented a 10 the first time as I was nervous about length. This time I went with the 8 and it was still long enough for work, but I wouldn't go any shorter. I love this as an alternative to the standard LBD!

I have rented this blazer twice and love it! The color is fantastic and it is super professional paired with a black dress.

Pretty summer dress!
This dress fits mostly TTS; it was the tiniest bit tight in the ribcage (but I tend to be a bit wider there) and the length was a bit long for tea length. I ended up not getting the dress in time for the occasion I was attending so didn't wear it, but would definitely rent again for another event. It is bright and super cute!

This dress was great for work! Very nice fit, not too short, and the textured material is flattering. Would rent again!

Fun spring shift dress, front slit makes fit slightly awkward.
This is a cute shift dress that is probably good for people on the shorter side or those who don't mind a really short dress. I am 5'8", rented a 10, and wouldn't be able to raise my arms over my head without being exposed. Also, the slit in the front causes the rest of the material to fit in an awkward way - it is pretty visible in person and you can sort of see it in the side picture.

Beautiful colors and movement!
The movement of this skirt is amazing, every time I walked down the hallway at work looking down at this skirt brought me so much joy! I received tons of compliments all day long, this is a truly beautiful piece. That being said, it runs really big and like other reviewers I wore the skirt lower than my natural waist. The RTR site lists size EUR 40 as US 8, but I think it fits more equivalent to a US12.

Contrast Colorblock Pleat Skirt
By Malene Birger
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

Great concept, fit seems to vary
I ordered the 46R which on the RTR site was equivalent to a size 10. However, the dress tag listed sizes and had "US12". So, for a 10 this dress runs on the large side, for a 12 I think it is probably accurate. The cut of the dress was a little odd though as you can tell from the photo of the back of the dress. It appeared as if there was extra fabric at the small of the back. Also note that the material wrinkles very easily.

Super fun dress, perfect for Vegas!
I LOVED the pattern on this dress and the material is a nice thick scuba which makes the dress feel more forgiving. The straps are thick enough to wear a normal bra, but I also would have been comfortable without any bra. This dress was fun and sexy!

Fun blazer to spice up the work week!
This is a great blazer to break away from the standard work wear. The fit is a bit oversized and combined with the pattern gives it a modern feel. As others noted the material is not very thick so if you are planning to use this as an outer coat you probably won't be warm enough. I think the material is perfect for inside he office though as it can be easy to overheat in many blazers. I feel great in this piece and highly recommend it!

Great fabric and pattern, nice retro feel.
I rented this for work but it was too short - would recommend for outside of the office. The arms are long especially considering that I have very long arms. This is a great, fun dress especially if you are going for a retro vibe!

Lovely pattern!
I love the pattern and colors in this dress, but the style of the skirt didn't work for me. In the pictures I thought the dress was more straight and didn't notice the silhouette of the skirt where it flares out a bit. Look closely at the picture of the back of the dress to see it more clearly.

Nice material, fit was off
This was the second Marni dress I have rented and just like the first, it ran large and the fit was awkward. The dress material is nice and thick, and the pattern is beautiful but it felt less like a chic sheath and more like a mumu.

Better than an LBD! Versatile enough for cocktail attire or slightly more formal event!
This dress is beautifully made - the color is rich, and it feels as comfortable as wearing an LBD but better because of the distinct color. The dress runs ever so slightly on the small side, specifically, the band around the ribs was a little too tight for me and I didn't feel entirely comfortable. I am broad throughout the shoulders and chest though so someone with a smaller frame may not feel the same. Otherwise, the dress fit perfectly, I love the cut of the shoulders and back!!

Fabulous dress!
This dress was just what I wanted for my formal holiday work party. I felt super glam and got tons of complements all night. I am usually between an 8 and 10 and the 8R fit perfectly. I loved wearing this dress and the rich color and material were a big part of that - the pockets were also a plus! The only issues were that the hook and eye on the back was broken when I received the dress and the boning on one side of the bodice was poking through the fabric. It wasn't noticeable but uncomfortable as it was scratching my skin.
