High quality and forgiving fabric
This is a lovely, well made, well fitting dress. I felt the length was frumpy on me (I’m 5’1”) - too long for midi and too short for maxi lengths. I didn’t wear it bc I rented a few dresses for a wedding. If it was all I rented, it would have been fine but I had better fitting options.

Favorite. Rental. EVER.
Gorgeous! I’m 5’1” and it fit like a gown lengthwise. I was afraid the ruffles would drown me but I was drawn to the beautiful blue color and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t want the party to end because I didn’t want to take it off. Wore it w a strapless bra.

fun flattering comfortable swishy :)
This dress is so flattering and fun. The straps are long - the only thing keeping it from five stars. I am a size 14 but RTR suggested 12 and it was perfect. Wore it w a strapless bra. Fabric is silky but not clingy or staticky.

Pretty.
This is a very pretty blush/ivory color. Very subtle. The sleeves were great because they are cinched at the wrist so not too long, which is frequently a problem for me. I did get compliments and wore it a lot, but it was a bit big.

Beautiful and forgiving.
Gorgeous. Thick high quality material that is forgiving. I wore a strapless bra. It was tea length on me (5”1’) and it was stunning. I thought the color might be a bit much, but it wasn’t. I got compliments from random people who came up to me :). I felt great in it.

I’m not a “statement necklace” kinda girl, but I took the advice of a reviewer for the black shirt in the photo and rented this to go with that. I ended up wearing it over and over bc it goes with everything! Not heavy. Looks beautiful.

Pretty and flattering top for a winter party.
Fit great. Super soft. Great color. The belt is attached and a bit above my natural waist so it was almost empire. Length was great and flattering for pear shape. Flattering for tummies.

The perfect sweater. Perfect length, perfect arm length, perfect weight, high warm collar without being a turtleneck. Became a workhorse while I had it so I bought it! Interestingly, this was my MOST COMPLIMENTED RTR rental ever - at work, random people in the elevator, at the mall, out and about.

Pretty and high quality.
This is a very pretty rich colored blouse. It has a zipper in the back. Obviously high quality. Versatile. Some cons: There is a big flower print on the sleeves, which are billowy so I thought that was odd and made my arms looks bigger. Also it's an odd length if you want to wear it out (not tucked in) - a bit short.

Fun but heavy.
This is super cute and fun. You can wear it as a long bag or double the chain as a shorter bag. It fits everything you need (phone keys cards etc). It is a bit heavy bc of the chains so during the month I did get tired of it. LOL. Also it is not long enough to use as a cross body bag.

Rent. This. Dress!
This dress is perfect! I wore it at a retirement party. I thought at first it would be frumpy but it is a bit short which balanced out the long sleeves and neckline. There is some magical quality about this dress bc I didn't wear any shape fitting undergarments yet it hid all bumps! Fits true to size. I usually wear 12-14 in RTR dresses and I wore XL. If you zoom in you can see the necklace I rented to go with it.

It' ok. Fun bow detail.
This is pretty. I was hoping for "more" wow bc the reviews were so wonderful. It's ok. The long green bow is a wow feature that makes it a noticeable shirt. I did get tons of compliments but I felt the tie bunched up on the waist, losing the wide belt effect.

This is a very pretty top with colorful pattern. The material is cotton so it is like you're wearing a t shirt but looks polished and professional. I wore it over and over to work and casually. It's a boxy fit and hit me mid hip (I'm 5'1")

very pretty color
I rented this for Christmas, and I also wore it on zoom calls and to work once. The ruffles were a pretty detail. It is cut "square" so there is no waist. It is a good length - I am 5'1" and it hit mid hips. The neckline was a bit small and it did at times awkwardly ride up and "choke" me. I didn't mind it - but not sure I would rent it again. I like that it was "half" sleeves instead of short sleeves - I felt it was a bit more appropriate for winter time.

so pretty and fun!
Long enough to cover tummy, comfortable and light weight. A great shimmer. So pretty. The "tail" is not actually the bow, like it looks in the picture, it's a longish part of the shirt. I had to wear it with a strapless bra (straps showed w regular bra and racer back). I wore it to a fancy restaurant for a birthday dinner. I paired it with skinny black pants and black pumps.

this was not good!
pros: pretty color cons: odd draping, very short on the "short side" - and I am only 5'1"! not for you if you have a muffin top - it shows midriff on the "short side". material and neckline is also odd - like a t-shirt that you would buy as a 5K fundraiser or a men's undershirt.

Interesting and comfortable.
After reading the reviews, I sized up - I am usually 10 or 12 in tops and this was a 14 - it was perfect. The fringe sleeves were fun. I wore it over and over. It was warm, but not suffocating. It is soft and not itchy. It is a great choice for the holiday season - I rented it for Thanksgiving, but I wore it over and over to work, weekends, etc.

Pretty detail buttons and high quality fabric.
These were lovely - I loved the thicker fabric, which made the lighter color appropriate for fall. I loved the buttons. They hit at the right spot on top of my shoes (I'm 5'1"). I ended up not wearing them, though, because they were tight on the thighs - they felt OK but looked tight. They go up to size 12R so I couldn't go up a size. I am usually a 12-14R.

Goes with everything! Lovely color. I wore it over and over! Sleeves were appropriate length when I did an half-cuff to shorten them a bit (I'm 5'1" so this is always an issue for me). The tie was interesting - and a unique detail. I did wear it over a tank top. The snap opening did open up at times, but it was so pretty, it didn't matter to me.

This is the perfect work dress! Conservative, comfortable, lightweight - but updated and interesting with the asymmetrical hem and big cloth-covered buttons. I can't even count how many times I wore it! I wore it with naked legs and wedge pumps, knee high boots, and black tights and booties.

ok for work.
This dress is very pretty - high quality material, lined. Since I am short (5'1"), I felt the length was a bit awkward, and the white top with the high cut neckline made me feel like my chest was accentuated. Surprisingly, the waist hit at the right point. I only wore it once because I had it, but I didn't love it.

high quality, pretty, unique, comfortable
This dress is very pretty. It is substantial fabric and has a zipper on the back - making it obviously high quality. It is unique and professional. Because I am 5'1" it hit perfectly at the knee for work - although the waist was a bit lower than I would have liked. I really enjoyed wearing this and did get compliments and people asking where I got it. (Shout out to RTR of course!)

it's ok - not for pears
The dress is very pretty, the fabric is high quality, and the color is perfect for fall. It didn't fit well on me: I felt like the neck was choking me - especially when I was sitting; the pockets opened (I sized up AND used double stick tape to keep them closed to no avail). I forced myself to wear it because I had it for a month, and although I felt uncomfortable in it, I did get compliments on the dress and color. I thought it would me more A-line but it is a straight-cut so it's not conducive to my hips.

high quality but sleeves are very long
the quality and cut are beautiful. it's a structured knit and a crisp color. however, it's not for petites - the sleeves measure approx 20 inches (i measured starting at arm pit to end of sleeve ). it hung past my finger tips so it was unwearable for me.

gorgeous and flattering!
This dress is gorgeous! I rented for a black tie wedding - but I waited too long to order and was left with limited choices, and I did NOT want black, but that's what I ended up renting based on price and reviews. This dress was just amazing and I did not at all mind that it's black - it's pretty and interesting with the one shoulder, crystals on the shoulder, ruffle lined slit, and midsection ruching. It fit well, was comfortable, is lined the whole way down, and did not fall down on the left side. I am 5'1" so it was a bit long - I wore it with 4 inch heels, and I used double stick fabric tape to hem it one hem-width (about 1/2"), and it brushed the floor. I just loved it and felt so glamorous.

This dress has a nice, stretch fabric. I got this as a second replacement and I ended up wearing the other piece. But I loved this dress and will consider renting in the future. The color is a bright red. The short end IS a bit short (even for ME - 5'1") but it is masked by the longer side - I would wear this out but for work I would wear it with black tights and booties because I do feel it is a bit short. I usually wear 14 in RTR but this was a 12 and it was perfect (14 was not available).

This was a beautiful, fun blouse to wear. I usually wear a L or 14, but there was only a 12 available. It actually fit perfectly - loose, comfortable. I did wear it with a racer back bra. It was low cut - I tried it on with a tank and camisole, but I felt that ruined the crisp, loose fit of the blouse, so I decided to safety pin it a bit. It was still low cut, but ok for an evening out (not for work). It is not a true wrap - it must be put on over your head and has a side zipper.

Lightweight and comfortable
This is a pretty, lightweight, cotton shirt. The big sleeves give it a modern touch. The lines are dark gray but I thought it looked better with black pants (vs. gray slacks). It is a tad short - as noted in the photo - I guess it is meant to be a bit cropped, but since I am short it hit at the perfect part of my hips.

Pretty and sweet!
I wore this for Easter. It is pretty and flowy. I wore M (usually I wear L in RTR) and it fit loosely and comfortably. The print is a pretty pinkish/beige/olive pattern. The tiny beads on the sleeves were a lovely touch. I wore it twice: once with olive slacks and brown heels, and again with dark blue jeans and mustard colored flats. I felt great in it and I really enjoyed wearing it!

Lovely and comfortable blouse!
The was a very pretty blouse for work. I love the details, like the ties on the wrist, and cloth covered buttons. It is sheer in the back (but not too sheer) and has a built in camisole in front so it's not see through. I wore it with a nude color tank to show less cleavage. It hit at just the right length, and it was roomy. I typically wear L or XL but this was a M and it was great. I wore it 3 times - once with olive slacks, once with dark gray slacks, and once with jeans. I got compliments and felt pretty!
