Too small to put my head through - DO NOT rent
I can’t tell you how this fit because I could not fit my head through the top of this dress. Talk about feeling like a pumpkin head. The hole is a smidge larger than an arm hole. I reached out to customer service to let them know there is something structurally wrong with this dress and they just told me sizing is sometimes tricky — I was floored - I even explained that I understand that sizing varies but in my entire life my head size has never been an issue with clothing and that I was shocked that they would not replace or even notate my issue so I am sending it back and guess RTR will have it back on the website for others to rent. Beware

Viva fiesta!!
This is a very beautiful dress. I rented it for fiesta in San Antonio because we do some fundraising events that I wanted to look my best for. You can't tell from the picture but it is not a solid white but actually white textured material where the fabric has almost strips of solid white and then sheer which really made the dress pop and it is lined so even with that detail you did not need to wear a slip. This dress is a no brained for any summer party you might attend .

Very interesting print
I received a lot of compliments on this dress . I would not say this was the most flattering dress in me primarily because it was very conservative and really did not highlight my assets but the print was soo unique that it was just a beautiful dinner dress and would be perfect if you had a work presentation or a church event where you wanted to go a little more bold in print but needed everything to be covered up.

Beautiful print
I loved these pants and they were perfect for an assortment of activities. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars was because they ran big and then stretched out on top of that. I definitely could of done a 12 and been comfortable. I was just surprised because in the past dvf pants were smaller but in this last year or soo she seems to be more generous in the fit . They are also super high waisted. I have a very long torso and they still easily went up to my rib cage.

Love the print
These pants were very nice but they are definitely meant for a taller girl. I am 5'9" and I needed to wear heels because they dragged on the floor. They are also super high waisted . Luckily I have a very long torso but even then they were probably about two inches hire then I would have preferred. With that said I pair them with both a tight navy sweater and a red blouse that I tied at the waisted and it was an instant go to outfit that had a very 40ies flare.

Reminded me of a MooMoo
I really wanted to love this-- the idea of a throw on flowy dress just makes me happy but the reality was I looked like a tent and not a cute tent when i put this on. It was really large and had some pleating so it added to how large I felt. It would have been better with a few darts to bring the material in

Wanted to love
I wanted to love these and am soo bummed I ordered the xl. I figured being leather and the fact that it is better to go a little bigger it would be a safe bet but the xl was huge and I mean huge . When I put them on they looked like the genie pants from the Can't touch this video so definitely size down at least one size if not two.

Booty and thighs baby
I think these pants would be a better fit for a petite frame girl. I am not incredibly curvy but I looked very large in these pants. They really seemed to add to my booty and my thighs because they were more snug in those areas which was not flattering. With that said I think a slimmer built woman could really rock these but alas that was not me.

Odd fit
I ordered this for a going out or running around update but it was not flattering -- perhaps it would work better on someone not as tall-- it seems a little short in the sleeves for me

Just float and comfortable
I loved this dress. I could have definitely done a smaller size and I am not sure this is the most flatter dress for my figure but for the Texas heat it was soo comfortable for drinks on the patio or an evening out . It has a little sparkle to it and the slip only goes to the thighs so you can see your legs through the sheer so it has some flirty aspects to the dress and in our current heat you can not beat a dress that is flowy, sleeveless and can be worn with sandals.

Super cute flashback 80ies style
I love this dress. Every time I put it on I felt a little flashback to my childhood in the 80 ies. It is super cute and beyond feminine and sassy. They color is bold and I felt so put together when I paired it with straps navy sandals and a small navy handbag. I wore it to work, the théâtre and even to run errands. It looked put together but was comfortable at the same time -- it is hard to find that in a dress.

Super cute in theory
I really wanted to love this jump suit and it was super comfy on but I did notice I had to watch the front to make sure I did not expose myself and then I saw a picture of myself from dinner and realized the stripes were not as flattering as I thought they were. With that said it was a super comfortable Jumpsuit and I did get compliments because you did notice me when I was in it.

Fits like a glove
This dress fits like a glove and holds you in which is super nice. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the fabric is a little stiffer which is great for support and structure but it is not the most comfortable for a full day.

LOVE THIS DRESS!!!!
This dress was a show stopper for me. Sassy but also classy with the ruffle and off the shoulder action. I loved this dress. It was perfect for a night at the theatre and really just was a show stopper. I would highly recommend this dress.

a little pizzazz
I rented this to have a little sparkle for going out to dinner or a special happy hour. I will say the colors were not as vibrant as I expected -- they were deeper -- so just plan on a more mustard yellow and a deeper red -- which was fine but I noticed I did not use the purse as much because I most of the colors I was wearing in my summer wardrobe were more bright read and sunshine yellow so this just did not seem to fit quite right.

not flattering
I thought this would be a great white jumpsuit for fun summer events but when i put it on it was just not flattering at all. Even at 5'9" I somehow looked like an umapaloompa in this jumpsuit with the extra fabric. It was not meant for my body.

I rented this for a nice everyday dress when running around with my child. I received loads of compliments and it was super comfortable especially in the Texas heat. I would highly recommend it if you need something flowy and not form fitting in this hot summer with a little pizzazz.

Super cute but does run big so size down
I really liked this for a throw on dress. It was super comfortable but I definitely could have gone down at least one size easily and still been comfortable

not for the bigger girl
I read the reviews and seriously contemplated ordering a large vs xl because some of the reviewers said this dress ran large. I think it may depend on your frame. I am a larger bone bigger girl and the XL barely fit. The bottom half was fine but I had the biggest issue with my chest area. So if you have a larger chest frame or more breasts this may not be a good dress. ( Keep in mind I am more of a larger chest frame so it may work better with larger breasts) I ended up sending this dress back.

Just odd
I wanted to love this but the sleeves were just too odd for me. The actual pleating of the sleeves is lower down the arm and I think you were suppose to push them up to get the effect but I just could not for the life of me get the shirt to look like the picture. Also the fit was looser through the body which was not flattering on me with the excess fabric on the arms. I ended up sending this back because I just could net get it to look right on me.

Way to small for a busty girl
I got this dress as part of my update for the month and it fits small. I am not a tiny girl but generally speaking I am strong 12 most clothes and in a designer dress I will size up so I figure an XL would be more then enough room for me but I was wrong. The front would not completely close around my chest and front area so I could wear this appropriately. I could not even wear a tank because unlike some DVF wraps where the top part may be a little less coverage the bottom did not have a little more fabric so there was no way this would make it out in a public setting. I was bummed because the colors were very bright and the cut looked wonderful. Perhaps a smaller frame girl will love this .

007 gala
I got this dress for a "gala" that was more of a cocktail fundraiser. It was super flattering and really a nice fleshy pink color. The pleated fabric did a lot to help hide my tummy which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this dress

Great nice out dress
I loved this dress . It was a little big in the belly but seemed to slim down through the hips ( although not too tight) This was wonderful because it was the perfect going out to the theatre or dinner dress since it was super comfortable but looked wonderful in and it was a little shorter so it did not look frumpy with the design . I would highly recommend this dress ( especially if you are like me and a little heavier then you want to be but still want to feel super in style and cute)

Love this purse
This purse is perfect for the end of winter/ beginning of spring -- it is large enough to really care things if you are on the go but it is not like a super huge bag and the bonus is it is long enough to go cross body if you want -- which was amazing .

Perfect go to dress for a busy active mom
I really loved this dress for lunch and everyday . Super comfortable and super cute. A little too high waisted for my tastes but I am also a little too long waisted for my tastes as well :) a huge plus is the pockets. This is not your sexy night out dress but it is perfect for lunch with the ladies or events with your kids where you want to look nice but need to move and groove. And the fabric is a plus as well because it is a heavier cotton so it seemed to hold its structure quiet nicely if you are very active but trying to look put together. This dress is a mom's trifecta ( pockets , looks super put together and holds up even with kiddos)

Felt a little dumpy
I loved the idea of this dress.. flowy with some edge but it needed a little more structure with my shape to pull it off but it was extremely comfortable and I did really enjoy wearing it but if you rent this dress I feel you need to commit to the edgy accessories and definitely heels to get the vavavoom that this dress could have . It just did not pop right out off the hanger like some pieces -- this will require a little more work to get you the look

A great theatre dress
This was a wonderful dress. I could have sized down but the 16 gave me some extra wiggle room making it very comfortable. Also, this dress allows for ladies who have larger chests which is a huge plus. I ordered the 16 anticipating i would need room in that area and i had plenty of room ( almost too much room) so i feel if you are more blessed this may be a dress option for you.

Super cute
Super cute dress but runs very large. I ordered the 14 because that is what i where in other designers but i could easily go down one to two sizes in this dress. I did not want to send it back because of the time to get a replacement sent but found that if i put a red patent belt it really fixed the size problem for everyday wear. Also, if you are a tall girl ( i have a very long torso) this dress is not super short which is a big plus when looking for a nice everyday or workdress .

Not quiet right for me
I wanted to love this dress -- the animal print , DVF and the cut seemed like the perfect dress for going out this winter with some boots or heels but the fit just was not right for me and was not what I expected from DVF ( I own a few from before rent the runway) this dress just seemed to cling in the wrong places a little more and was not cut to be tight or loose if that makes sense. It just did not pop like I had hoped.

Not my hottest look
It is not the best dress for a tall girl unless maybe you are super thin. I really liked the dress but it was blousy so it made me look a little bigger and high waisted for me so it looked more like a baby doll dress and then was on the shorter side. I still wore it to the theatre to take my son to see Peppa Pig because it was super comfortable and had pockets but it was not a super sexy or hottie number . A good dress if you need comfort and cutesy more that sex appeal :)

This is a fabulous spin on a jumpsuit.
I am long torso and this number fit perfectly. The drappy arms actually created a nice slimming look. I am 5'0 so I am not sure how this would fair on a more petite girl but I am tall and have broad shoulders (and good strong bones ) and this number really made me look so slim and trim as opposed to just big which was nice. I can't say enough about this item. It was a great little number and I can't wait to wear it ( I got it as one of my unlimited and am thinking I am going to make a point to wear it out to dinner or the theatre this week)

Fun and funk
These pants are fun. Very high waisted so if you are looking for that this is a plus. That was not my thing but I loved the stretch and give of the fabric. I wore them to the Bruno Mars concert with a black sheer camp shirt and funky shoes and it was completely comfortable and quiet fun. I will warn you these pants do not have any lining so if you are old fashion about Panty lines and lining these may not be your thing but for a little funk a flare I would highly recommend them -- the only reason I gave them 4 stars was because of the lining and construction issue seemed a little cheap for a dvf pant . I want these pants but would not pay full price because of these construction issues

Big fail
I was hoping to pair this with a cute skirt for either part of a destination wedding weekend or a concert ( I had both this week ) when I received the item it just looked off. Too much going on and with out heavy starch and a really crisp look this is going to fail. In addition , it literally hit right at my waist and the ruffle across the shoulders is an attached band not party of the shirt so it does not lie across the shirt but literally stretches across the back which makes it almost impossible to create the look from the photo especially if you plan to move . I am soo bummed I waisted my time and a spot on this item .
