Great color and fit
Really pretty color. Styled almost exactly like photo and felt like I had a bit of extra style for a relatively informal conference.

Great dress - wonderful colors and easy to style up/down for travel. Packs easily.
Love it - wonderful fall colors. Can be styled up/down (with heels, booties, tall boots) making it really versatile for travel. Top is sheer, but that worked for me for a fall trip (easy to layer a cami underneath / sweater over).

Nicolette Midi Dress GERARDTEST
Sea New York
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Amazing fabric and unusual and flattering fold - sort of like a kimono sash.
This was too big for me but I wore it anyway. Fabric is out of this world - really soft but doesn't wrinkle. Am considering renting next size down and buying this. Really versatile.

Ruffle Panel Dress
Jil Sander Navy
Size Worn: 44
Usual Size: 10

Beautiful fabric and flattering fit
Something special about the fabric of this dress. It's not heavy, but somehow has more oomph/structure than you'd expect from a silk dress. Red is bright but true - not overwhelming.

Jada Skirt
Tory Burch
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Loved this. Everyone loved this (husband, kids, mom, co-workers, boss, my kids). Great color.
It's a poncho, so, yes, it's a big and sort of shapeless thing, but the hi/lo hem and side buttons actually help give it some structure.. Lovely color - clear bright green. Super cheery on week 10 of a never-ending rainy/cloudy winter. Wore with jeans, and with black trousers and flats both casual weekend and at work. Can't overstate how much everyone around me loved this garment. During the rental period, my dad had a stroke and I wore it to the stroke ward in the hospital (!) Everyone (Dad included, thank goodness he's doing well) commented on it. First thing I'm buying from RtR.

Green Ember Poncho
Elk
Size Worn: 0
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
runs waaay large
Color is lovely, but the collar is weird -- unbuttoned top button gives a way over-broad, 70's vibe sort of spread. Wore it with an oatmeal/camel wool cardigan which was nice way to blunt the impact of the color a bit - gave a pop without being too much.

Orange Essential Blouse
Equipment
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Great skirt - nice fabric with an asymmetric twist
Perfect for work as a sort of dress up day in my casual office - wore it with tights and knee high suede boots. Lots of compliments both from female and male (non-creeper) colleagues....sort of the "hey - you look nice, that's sort of different" kind of thing. Nice quality, and lies smooth even in a currently sort of lumpy midsection.

First Bet Skirt
Nanette Lepore
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Fantastic print and colors - some subtle variations among the blue and gold.
Fun print - as with other reviewers, more than one work colleague asked if it was Missoni. Got a number of compliments. It's a distinctive print, so probably won't keep for much longer than a month, but a bright/punchy addition to work outfits in the depths of winter. I work in a casual office so was mostly styled with jeans, but there is a brown tone in the pattern (hard to see from photos) that paired surprisingly well with a brown suede skirt and boots.

Zig Zag Arlo Sweater
M.i.h. Jeans
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Beautiful easy fit - perfect for vacation or summer
I loved this dress and my husband suggested I buy it (a first for my newish RTR membership). It's fun and a bit hippy without being at all sloppy. Wore it on vacation with several nice resort restaurant type outings and felt perfectly dressed with light tan heeled sandals and raffia bag, but also dressed down with white sneakers. Forgiving through the mid section -- I got the 12 since the 10 wasn't available. 10 would have done well and still been an easy fit for my currently-apple shape.

Blue Gabriella Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Versatile - Beautiful print and colors
This runs huge. Print is lovely and colors are clear and bright without being loud. Matched nicely with white jeans and dark denim tailored skirt. Really versatile top for vacation, but needed a white camisole under because of crazy deep V and armholes. Trust the reviews and order 2 sizes lower than your normal top size. Still loved it.

Beautiful color and easy fit
Rented this for vacation in Mexico over the New Year. Fantastic color - worked well with white and dark jeans as well as army/olive green pants. Dressed up with gold sandals and also wore with flat black sandals. As others note, it doesn't really stay off the shoulder well, but is still a flattering fit. Lots of compliments.

Mmmm - just didn't work for me
Lace was a bit stiff - combined with the boxier fit, it just didn't work for me in either size. If you are straighter/more athletic build, it might work well in a sort of hanging-from-your-angular-frame-high-fashion-Vogue-shoot sort of fit.

Ruby Rose Twist Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 10

Very pretty dress - wished my size had been available
Got the 10 - 12 not available but would have fit perfectly. Nice/substantial feel to the fabric and the back black panel made it feel a bit more youthful, less "lady". Flattering cut - higher top hem is not too high, and colors are rich and pretty.

Surprisingly flattering and really pretty color.
They should study this fabric at some research university. Bizarrely flattering for several thin layers of meshy material. Not sure how that even works. Am not feeling at my most fit at the moment and felt good in this at a holiday party.

Red Sheer Sleeve Midi Dress
Fuzzi
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Fun and versatile. The one I received was a bit shopworn/few stains.
Need to wear with high waisted pants/skirt as the short side of the asymmetric hem would be revealing (particularly if you are long-waisted). Fun change for someone who often picks tailored/plainer pieces.

Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10

Nice fabric - strange fit
Fabric is really nice - very heavy weight - hides many sins without the need for spanx. Beautiful color with just enough silver sparkle to feel festive without looking cheap/shiny. Fit was really strange. I'm 5'5" and short waisted, and yet the waist felt really short-waisted on me -- not an empire waist not a true waist.

Metallic Pleated Dress
Carven
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Heavy weight fabric - felt and looked high quality
I really liked this skirt and wore it a number of times - with a dressy evening turtleneck short sleeve shell, a silk blouse and chunky heels. One night to a cocktail party - the other to a christmas choral concert in a formal church setting. Got compliments both times. Somehow manages to look a bit modern (perhaps due to the weight and sheen of the fabric?)

Black Pleated Midi Skirt
Carven
Size Worn: 42
Usual Size: 10

Nice top - dress it up or down.
Wore it to work with a nice black cardigan, and also paired with a satin box pleat skirt, pearls and heels a few nights later for an early December holiday party. Felt festive without being too much. Only reason I'm not ranking 5 stars is the one I got felt a bit...shop worn / end of its run. No stains/pills or anything but had lost a bit of body in the fabric.
