Really Pretty Dress
I rented this as an alternate choice for a wedding.. It ran true to size and I really loved the statement sleeves and lace up back but it just didn’t do it for a black tie wedding so I opted for my other choice.

Great Dress…
I rented this dress for a wedding and it was the perfect choice! It’s a simple yet sophisticated style that can be dressed up or down. Very comfortable to wear and runs pretty much true to size, maybe a smidge large. I rented a 2 and 4, technically they both fit but I found the 4 a little large on top so I wore the 2. The only negative is it’s over the head with no zipper so be careful with hair and makeup. Got lots of compliments and would rent again.

Really Nice Fun Dress
I wore this dress to a BBQ. It’s a fun, easy wearing dress but it does run on the large side. I’m 5’3” and 122 lbs, and the size small was big on me. I’m glad I read other reviews and ordered the XS as a backup size. The dress runs large around the armholes and waist. The XS was more fitted and with the stretch in the material it was much better fit. It wasn’t my favorite but it was just what I needed for the occasion.

Loved It!
This dress was perfect for a dinner out with friends... Pretty and comfortable to wear. It is not forgiving at all since it is a lightweight silk but the cut is pretty generous to be true to size. Got lots of compliments, added a wide belt and black tights since it runs pretty short for me at 5'3". I would rent it again in a heartbeat I liked it that much!

Great LBD
This dress was one of my selections for a dinner out. I sized up after reading the other reviews but sizing up one size was not enough. The dress runs really small with little stretch. I ended up wearing the other selection and but did like this dress.

Great Holiday Dress!!
I rented this dress for my office holiday party and I absolutely loved it! It fit perfectly true to size and the sparkle on the sleeves was a festive touch. The only negative for me was the length.. it runs a little short, Im 5’3” and it was 3” above the knee. I opted to wear sheer black tights but on a younger person this would probably not be an issue. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely Adorable Dress!
I rented this dress for a country club dinner with friends..I wanted something light & feminine since we were on the middle of a 100 degree heat wave. This dress did not disappoint, it fit perfectly, was so comfy but looked stylish and best of all NO WRINKLING! The color is a very becoming shade of orange, it did not overwhelm with the ruffles and flower print and I got tons of compliments. The length hit just at the knee (I'm 5'3"). I wore flat gold sandals and a gold leather clutch..Perfect

Great Versatile Dress
I rented this dress for a funeral, 1 of 2 that I needed quickly with no time to shop. The dress is true to size but runs a little large in the hip line. It's a great dress, lined and wrinkle free material with some stretch. I really love the style and would have bought it if I found it in a store. Trina Turk designs are well made as I have a few in my closet. RTR came thru again for me!

Great Dress When You Need It Fast!
I actually rented this dress for a funeral. I had no time to run around shopping . It's a very sophisticated style with some forgiving stretch so sizing was pretty easy without worry of not fitting. The dress runs true to size and is very comfortable no wrinkle material. The only con was the opening at the neckline did not really lay properly and is not material you can press flat and hold. It was barely noticeable and definitely not a deal breaker. The dress was perfect , RTR comes thru again.

This was the most comfortable jumpsuit that was pretty enough to be considered a dress!
I wore this outfit to dinner with friends. It runs a bit large, surprising for Kate Spade. I've been wearing KS for a lot of years and never had that issue. Having said that, I absolutely loved this and didn't want to return it! Very comfortable, great side pockets and length was good for 5'3". The only downside was the deep v-neck, I used some double sided Hollywood tape to hold the neckline in place, definitely not a deal breaker. Pretty color and the piece could easily be dressed up or down.

This dress is classic Kate Spade, always true to size and makes you feel very elegant.
I was very happy with the style and fit of this dress. The bow in the back makes the entire outfit. Drop earrings, a gold clutch and nude heels were all that were needed..got lots of compliments and always love pockets!

Great daytime party dress!
I fell in love with this dress at first glance. It’s very cute and was perfect for an outdoor summer BBQ/party.. The dress is great quality, lined so there is no worry about sheerness in the sun. It fits true to size but the big however is the top is pretty revealing. There is no snap or hook and eye to keep the top secure, especially when sitting. I resorted to stick tape which would worked well but after a little more thought I opted to wear a cami underneath and that made the dress more comfy for me. Overall I loved the dress and would rent again

Absolutely Great Outfit !
This was my first experience with RTR and I know it won't be my last.. This jumpsuit was a great alt to LBD for a work gala.. The piece was very well made and looked very classic. I usually wear a size 4 which is what I ended up wearing but there is no real margin for error with the fit.. The lower pant legs run narrow and I just made a comfortable fit with 14" calves. It also runs long for a 5'3" frame but I flipped one hem up with Hollywood tape and did not lose the slit in the front. Received many compliments and would definitely rent this again!
