Fine
Fine for a few wears to the office. Material is light weight and rise is pretty high. Was annoyed that there wasn’t a belt loop in the middle on the backside (only 4 belt loops, 2 on each side). Could have sized down to the 8.

Two different looks?
This dress feels like two different outfits stitched together. The top is straight cut and it looks strange paired with the gathered tulip skirt. It was also too large in the top for me and I think would have fit better if the top had the same gathered tailoring as the skirt. Just didn’t work for me.

Cute!
Very easy and versatile - wore around the house, to work, on a date, to a party, and while running errands. Loose fit, but not oversized.

Great Petite Jean
Good length for petites. Fabric has some give, but maintains its shape and doesn't bag out. Minimal waist gap. Looks better in motion than in photos. Seriously considered buying these and still might.

Size down
Rented the small previously and it fit, though a bit tight in the arms. This time decided to go with my usual medium. Turns out the small was the better fit, so would recommend sizing down. Otherwise, love this dress.

Runs very small!
It's cute, but runs very small. For me, an 8 in a top is sizing up, but I could have comfortably done the 10. I was able to wear it - just made my chest look kind of smooshed (and I am not busty). Also, very itchy, but I wore it over a silk blouse and felt fine.

Cute, but annoying
Pros: I felt so chic carrying it by the handles and it is a nice looking bag with a decent amount of space. Magnetic closure is *very* strong/secure. Cons: strap was way too long for me even adjusted to the shortest setting and the bag kept getting caught on things when I wore it crossbody. No pockets inside, so had a hard time finding things. Magnetic closure was so strong that it was hard to get in and out of the bag.

Love!
Runs a tad large, but the ties in the back let you adjust the waist area to look more fitted/cinched. Overall, an elegant piece that can go from work to more casual with the right accessories.

Fun, but not for me
Just wasn’t super flattering on me. Sizing runs a little small. The neck band was tight, which surprised me since an 8 is usually roomy for me. Easily fixable by just not buttoning it up.

Well made, but huge
Material looked well made and expensive. Liked the buttons and loved the more cool toned nude color (a rare find on RTR). But it was heavy, slouchy, and boxy in the upper chest. From the first button upwards it made me look like I was a kid playing dress up in my mom’s closet. It’s too tailored to be properly oversized, so it looked sloppy instead of intentionally large. I’m typically a 6, sometimes an 8 in blazers that run small. Could have sized down to the 4 and probably still would have been too loose up top. Would be great for someone who doesn’t want an oversized cut, but needs room in the bust/chest area.

Hot, in both senses of the word
Looks sexy, but it's tight (by design, would be weird if it wasn't) and not breathable, so I got hot and itchy. Not unbearable for a few hours, but I couldn't have worn it all day. Would note that I am pretty sensitive to itchy/uncomfortable clothes, so your mileage may vary.

Fine
Stylish and in very good condition. Not structured to keep the warmth in (doesn't cinch enough at the bottom, or fitted enough at the neck, etc). I wouldn't recommend for winter sports or for temps below 30degrees. Zipper was kind of stiff/weird.

Hard to open
Mostly just not my style. The handle over the top of the bag makes it hard to open and access the inside. Otherwise, a fine bag. On the smaller end, but fit a smaller wallet, iPhone (11), keys, lip gloss, and ear buds with room to spare.

Small bag, but has enough secure compartments that you can use it as a wallet. I was able to easily fit keys, cards, cash, lip gloss, ear buds, and my iPhone (11) inside. Lightweight and fits close to the body, so was great for commuting. Also great at the laundromat!

Warm! Maybe not for petites
Beautiful color and was a great weight for cold winter temps. I am not particularly busty, and have relatively petite shoulders and a short line from my shoulder to my waist, so there was extra fabric bunched up around my wrists, shoulders, armpit, and across the top of my chest. If you're in between sizes, I would size down.

Classy and comfortable
Loved it! Easy to just throw on with a pair of tights and some cute earrings and loafers and go. Also very comfortable and easy to move around in, which is a big plus for me as I am up and about a lot for my job. I mostly wore to work, but can be easily dressed down with a denim jacket and/or combat boots, etc.

Subtly sexy, gorgeous color, curve friendly
Loved this! Wore it with a blouse underneath to work because it showed off my cleavage too nicely for the office, lol. I think because of my proportions, it sat a bit lower than I think it was intended to m, which meant my bra showed a bit at the edges. Something to watch out for if you are like me and have a very short line from shoulder to waist

Very small, annoying zippers
Very tight and very short - and that's coming from someone who likes and is flattered by a narrow and cropped silhouette. Zippers do not lie flat and look strange. Quality is meh. Really not worth renting and kind of surprised that RTR would carry this.

Warm, comfy elevated cardigan
Have rented this multiple times and love it. Wore it to work, around the house, and out and about. The only drawback is that it's a bit too warm toned for me; otherwise, I'd probably buy it.

Great dress!
Very flattering on, got lots of compliments. Body skimming, but fabric isn’t flimsy or overly tight. Decent structure in the colllar, cuffs, and seams also helps to balance the look and keep it work friendly.

Comfortable and Polished
Thick, warm material - very cozy! I'm petite/narrow through the shoulders/chest/ribcage. The shoulder seams were a smidge wide on me and I had to roll up the sleeves, but the length was perfect. Plus, the general look of the cardigan is polished, so it didn't come off as too baggy or sloppy. Would probably size down next time, though, and recommend other petites do so. Otherwise, I think this should fit pretty true to size.

Delicate fabric
Came brand new with tags, but the tweed fabric quickly gathered fuzz and lint from the clothes I was wearing. Would only rent this for occassion wear and not for daily use. A shame, though, as the bag itself is quite functional and can hold a decent amount of stuff.

Ignore that I look like I'm in the navy in this pic, lol. It paired better with other pants/jeans. Thicker material with a bit of stretch. Close fitting, but not sculpted. Cropped, but not boxy. Will stretch out a bit after a couple of wears.

Okay
Strange material - thicker than I thought from pics. Needed heels since I'm shorter and was wearing to work. Great waist definition even without a belt, but pulled at the crotch. Probably needed to go up a size, but would have been too big in other areas. Something to be aware of if you are a pear shape and on the shorter side like me.

Have rented this before; it's a fantastic work dress. For sizing reference, this fit, but was a bit too tight in the bottom half. I am very much a pear shape and need to go up a size next time I rent.
