Lovely Dress!
Wore this to a play and it was flattering and comfortable. I’m a little thick-waisted but this gave an hourglass shape. Might rent it again.

Didn’t Wear
The M was a little too big and looked frumpy on me. I think I could’ve worn a S. It’s a good looking, classic sweater, though.

Weird Sizing
I read the reviews so a size 8 seemed the best fit but this was particular piece was so incredibly small in the chest and waist. The silhouette from the back and side were really nice but I couldn’t even bring the two sides together to attempt to button the dress. I’m going to swap it for a larger size.

Compliments!
You'll definitely turn heads in this asymmetrical sweater. I wore it with thick black leggings and black Doc Martens. It was comfortable and so chic. Just walking through a parking lot, I received three compliments on how stylish I looked in this gorgeous sweater. Also, if you're between a M and L, definitely size up.

Loved This Sweater
Great fit. Lovely embroidery and warm enough for the San Francisco Bay Area fall. Felt cozy and cute in this sweater. It was nice with jeans and also ponte leggings.

Cute But Enormous
Beautiful, whimsical sweater but alas, I should've rented a M. I'll see if this is available again. Definitely would love to wear this bold sweater in the appropriate size.

Not for the Busty
This was an elegant dress. Sadly, I couldn’t zip it all the way up because it was too small in the chest. I think if I would have sized up. The waist would have been too big.

Comfy & You'll Get Compliments!
Such a lovely, comfortable, beautiful dress. I wore it for a wedding weekend. The man who did our make up thought it was nice enough to wear to the wedding but it was intended for my day dress while getting my hair and makeup done. The eyelets and embroidery were gorgeous and the way the sleeves hung off my shoulders was quite pretty. I'll definitely rent this again.

Lovely & Forgiving
I really liked wearing this dress. Very femme and great for late summer. I'm thick waisted but I looked like I had a waist again. Definitely plan to rent it again.

Fun & Comfy
I was a little hesitant about this dress because it's backless but it was so nice. I got some compliments on the print and the cut. The open back was actually a plus. I felt comfortable not wearing a bra too but I think if you have a big chest, boob tape would be helpful.

Great print and comfy cut.
Very nice casual dress but a bit big in the chest for me. I wore it anyway because it was comfortable and loose for a warm day and balmy evening. At first, I thought the side ties would be a little annoying but they were actually a cute touch. I’m 5’4” and the hem hit right below my calf. The fabric felt was a little thicker than a lightweight crepe but had a nice flow to it. I got some compliments on the color and drape of it. I’d like to rent it again but in a medium next time.

Love This Hot Pink Frock
Wore this fun dress to a friend’s hot pink themed birthday party and got compliments on it. Initially, I thought I’d look like a large toddler but I really liked the dress’s whimsical vibe and how comfortable it felt. The taffeta fabric is pretty luxe and the dress is very nicely made. Such a vibrant color. It has good-sized pockets, which is always a plus. Dancing was easy as was eating. No need for shape wear. I paired it with fun fishnets with floral designs, black platforms, and a pair of pearl statement earrings from RTR as well. The birthday girl loved the dress and my look so much that she’s planning subscribe to RTR soon!

Too small in the chest.
What a beautiful dress! It fit nicely at the waist but I couldn’t zip it all the way up. Such a bummer because it’s quite flattering and despite looking so flouncy and delicate, it’s seems so sturdy and well constructed.

Too small in the chest.
I usually don’t wear pink but I had an event to attend with a hot pink theme. The jumpsuit is lovely and nicely made. It made me look taller too. Unfortunately, the chest was too small for me. I might try this a size up if I have another pink themed party.

Took a chance on the size but way too big.
Unfortunately, I was swimming in this. I was hoping it might fit since I sometimes have to size up with fancy dresses like this. It really a show stopper. Next cocktail or black tie event I have to attend, I hope my size is available.

Nope. Not for Short Folks.
This jumpsuit is probably nice on taller women with slightly long torsos. I should've read more of the reviews rather than just going by the recommended sizing. Even though I sized down, I still swam in it. Also, upper part is really long and the fabric is too thick and stiff to create a blouson effect. On top of that, the pleats are so deep that the design utilizes so much material. If the pleats weren't as big, maybe the jumpsuit might look less frumpy.

Love, Love, Love!
Very beautiful and bold-patterned dress. I wore this without a bra and still felt a little support. It was comfortable and flowing. The attached slip keeps one's bits from showing. I got lots of compliments on this pretty, summery, fun dress! Highly recommended!

Good Shirt to Officiate
I rented this to officiate a small, casual, intimate wedding in Mexico. The couple asked the guests to wear a white shirt and jeans. This was perfect for that event. It's a little boxy but the lace details femmed the shirt up a little. Quit comfortable but the fabric was a little thick for a garden wedding in 80+ degree weather. Overall, it was a nice choice for my purposes.

Adored This Dress
Absolutely loved this dress! It is so fun and feminine, and the print is bold. I received lots of compliments and my travel companions laughed so much because I had to stop and twirl intermittently throughput the day because it deserved lots of twirling. Although I'm a full busted, it was comfortable and still looked nice wearing this pretty dress without a bra. Minor downside for women with broad shoulders is that you have to shimmy it off one shoulder at a time.

Comfy & Cute
Great dress for a summer vacation. I received several compliments on this piece. It's lightweight and has ventilation on the sides and back, which helped with the humidity and heat in the part of Mexico I visited. The colors are nice and muted, not overly bright. It does require a light ironing or steaming. I really liked it wearing it.

Sadly, had to return it.
I loved the color and the breeziness of this maxi dress but it was far too big. I hoped to wear it on a trip to Mexico. I rented the XLR as the algorithm recommended but it was enormous in the arm holes and bust. I should've read through all the reviews first. I opted to swap it for a Farm Rio piece instead.

Very Pretty - Too Heavy Though
These earrings are rather significant in weight. I assumed they'd be lighter as I thought they were made of capiz shell. They are very lovely, though.

Loved this dress!
This dress was beautiful and surprisingly comfortable. Despite the weight of the dress, it was nice for an outdoor California wedding. The embroidery and color was vibrant. I'm 5'4" and the hem hit at the bottom of my ankle . FYI for you shorter gals.

I'm not usually a clip-on fan but these paired nicely with the Marchesa Notte dress I rented for a wedding. They're chunky but not as heavy as I anticipated. I was very happy with them.

This pair of earrings are really beautiful but didn't go with the style of the backup dress I chose. They would pair nicely with either a simple sheath or an over-the-top embroidered black and gold outfit.

Gorgeous! Alas, too small. :(
This dress is beautifully constructed and the embroidery is stunning. I can't believe it's been rented so many times but it looked brand new. My size vacillates between an 8 and 10 so I took a chance on renting an 8 since the 10's were unavailable. I'm definitely going to rent the bigger size in the future!
