Beautiful but long
I was in love with this dress, but it was just too long for me. Even in heels it would have been stepped on my me and everyone else all night. If you're 5'6" plus, this one's for you! I ended up wearing something else.

The BEST dress!!!
I really cannot overstate what a great dress this is. I wore it to a black tie fundraiser. It's not flashy, but it certainly got some attention. I received so many compliments. It is so flattering and so comfortable! The fabric is very thick and stretchy. It's form-fitting, but not clingy. No spanx needed! Also, that little ruffle in the front falls right where I usually need a little forgiveness. I didn't feel like I spent the evening sucking in. It was perfect for the occasion. I tried the 2 first and felt like it fit, but tried the 0 just to be sure. The smaller size worked better for me because it made the shoulders more secure. LOVED this dress!

Flattering top
I LOVE this top! I might keep it. It's so flattering. I was concerned about the front being too low cut or gapping, since I'm very small chested, but if drapes beautifully! Covers my bottom in the back and can be dressed up or down. This just might be the perfect top!

Runs very large for a petite frame
I was so excited about this dress. It was very cute in person. However, it was way too big. Even with adjustable straps, it gapped under my arms quite a bit. There was just no way I could make it work. So it went back without being worn. I do have a very small bust. If you're my size, I'd say you'd need to be at least a C to make this dress work. It was cute, I just think an XS should just be... smaller.

Great, easy top
I wore this a few times during the holidays and it is a great, flattering top. It's not too short or too boxy. Nice lines and cute sleeves.

Did not work on my petite frame
This dress was a big no for me. It was pretty and well made but it made me look like a grandma. I feel like if I was taller maybe it would have worked. Also, the front is just open. On the model it looks like it is maybe stitched together to make a v neckline but it's just an open cross over. I would have definitely had to wear something underneath. It was just awkward.

Beautiful dress!
This dress is really lovely. there is a base layer of red lace and then it is overlaid with a black lace. The fabric is very heavy. It is fitted and has no give but, because the fabric is so thick, it is fairly forgiving. I ended up not wearing it because the event I rented for turned out to be less formal, but I will consider renting again. Also, it's fairly long. I'm 5'3" and it came well past my knee. Almost to mid calf.

very pretty top, snug sleeves
This is a very pretty top. Loved the color and weight of the fabric. Only con is the fabric has no stretch at all and I felt like the sleeves ran a little slim. The upper arm was pretty tight on me. Other than that, it was a great piece.

Cute dress, lots of compliments
This is such a great dress. It came to me with tags still on. I wore it on a date with my husband. I had 5 strangers stop me to tell me how cute my dress was. I'm fairly petite so it was closer to full length maxi on me than on the model. My only issue was, it is white, thin, and unlined. I wish the skirt was lined because if the sun is bright you can see through. You will definitely need nude undergarments. It fits true to size. The xs worked for me and fit nicely but I think I could have sized up and worn the small as well. There is a tie at the back that holds the dress off the shoulders and I like that it is adjustable. I have a very small bust and it fit snuggly, I suppose you could just loosen the tie if you have a larger chest but if you are between sizes, maybe size up. Great rental!

Beautiful gown!
I wore this dress to a black tie dinner. I knew it would be an older crowed so I wanted something that wasn't too flashy. This dress was perfect. Great fit and well made. I received many compliments. My husband loved it. The pale pink ruffles are a fun detail. I might have been able to size down to the zero but I was comfortable in the two. I have a very small bust and had to tape the top to keep it in the right place. It's very roomy up top but still worked without looking too big on me. Great dress!

Cute, easy dress
This dress was very comfortable and easy to wear. I felt like it was a little plain by itself so I wore it with a belt. Thin, breezy fabric. It's prettier in person.

This is a great necklace but it was bigger and brighter than I was expecting. I ended up not wearing it because I felt like it was just too big on me. It would be very pretty on someone else.

Not made for a petite frame
I was really excited about this dress but it was just not for me. Like another reviewer, mine came without the tassels. So, it just had strings hanging down; like on a hoodie or something. The fabric is thick. I would call this denim not chambray. It is well made and would be a pretty dress on someone else. I would stay away from this one unless you are at least 5'6". The length hit well below my knee. Overall, just too big and unflattering.

Cute everyday dress!
I've already worn this dress a few times. I love the ruffle detail on the front. It has pockets that can be used from the top or the side. It wears well and doesn't wrinkle like I thought it might. It's very comfortable. It's really a great little dress! I may keep this one for a while. It's a great late summer/early fall transition piece. Would be cute belted with a cardigan or with a scarf and booties. My only complaint is that it runs a little big and is a little boxy. Overall, a great dress!

Beautiful but long
Loved this dress but it was too long to wear. I'm 5'3" and I put on my tallest wedges and it still pooled on the ground. I'd say you need to be a minimum of 5'6" to wear this dress. It was so flattering and beautiful colors and fabric. Hate I couldn't wear it.

Fun, bright summer tote
This tote is very cute. Love the fun scalloped top. It's a great size; large enough to hold everything but not too big. Didn't give it five stars because the material is very stiff and there was a bit of color transfer on the back where someone had carried it with dark jeans. Overall, a great rental.

Great print, cute romper
Very cute, fun print. I received lots of compliments. The fit is a bit weird. Like another reviewer mentioned, it's like a shift but a romper. I added a belt for some waist definition. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that the lining is not attached in the shorts and it kept bunching up and drove me a little crazy. Overall, a great rental.

Cute dress, lots of compliments
This was a great dress. The back is a fun nod to the cutout trend while still being very modest. I wore a strapless bra but you could provably wear a standard bra as well. The dress I received had small stripes on top and bottom. I called and customer service sent me a new dress but it also only had small stripes, unlike the picture. I wore it anyway and it was a big hit. I did feel like it was a little boring from the front so I wore it with a belt. Overall, it was different from the picture but I was not disappointed. Great dress!

Fun shift! Pretty details.
Loved this dress. The colors are very bright. One of the shades of coral is very close to neon. The fit is fantastic. It is a true shift style but it's cut to skim your body so it is very flattering. I wore this to a wine tasting event that was fairly dressy and also for Easter. Lots of compliments. Love the sleeves! If you have a large chest it might be snug. I am an A and I feel like if I had much more up top it would be too tight.

Fun, feminine spring shirt dress
So excited this made it in time for Easter! This dress definitely runs on the large side. I debated ordering the small and I'm glad it didn't because it would have been way too big. It is not fitted; the tie is what gives it shape. You could wear it just as a drop waste shift if you wanted. Roomy enough for a baby bump if that's what you're looking for. So cute! I'll definitely wear this a few times before I return it.

Beautiful dress, great fit
I wish I could have kept this dress. It was so flattering. I am always nervous with a wrap dress because I have a very small bust, but the fit was fantastic! There's a little hidden snap in just the right spot so there were no wardrobe malfunctions. It was a bit long. I'm 5'3" and I wore the tallest shoes I have and it still touched the floor. Overall, a great dress! Loved it!

Pretty, but not as pretty as the picture
This is the first time I've ever received something from RTR that I feel like wasn't "as advertised." The coat in the picture, on the model, appears to have pretty gold or brass buttons. The one I received had plastic black buttons. It was still a lovely color and unique fit but not quite what I was hoping for.

Lovely sweater
Fit is cropped which is not my favorite so I added a tank underneath. It's a fairly heavy weight so perfect for cool or cold weather. I wore the xs because it was the only size available but I feel like the small would have worked too with a slightly slouchier fit. It is fairly boxy. Overall a very nice piece. Great color, fabric and design. I would rent again.

This was a surprise accessory that I received with a rental. I have very small wrists so cuffs and bangles are usually a no for me because they do not stay put. However, this one could be squeezed to fit snugly and didn't flop around. Great accessory.

Great dress! Perfect for work party
I wore this dress to a work related Christmas party. It was perfect. Great fit, very pretty but modest enough for a professional function. I'm 5'3" and the hem fell just above my knee. The two was perfect, fitted but not tight. The event was a sit down dinner and I felt comfortable sitting most of the evening. Great rental!

Great dress! Flattering and forgiving.
I rented this dress for a black tie New Year's Eve party. I recently had a baby and was concerned that the dress would not conceal my still shrinking baby bump. However, it did the job well. This dress is fitted but it was still roomy enough on the bottom not to cling to you. Also, the black and the pattern from the lace are very forgiving. The fabric was thick and laid well. I ended up wearing the 2 which was very close in size to the 4 but fit better in the top. If you have a small chest this dress might not work as well. I'm normally a 34a but am currently a 34c and I think it would not have fit as well if my chest was smaller. All in all, a beautiful dress and great rental!

Beautiful, comfortable, so many compliments!
This dress was beautiful! I wore it to a black tie dinner and it was absolutely perfect. The pictures of it on the model do not do it justice. The fabric and color are beautiful. It's more of a deep, jewel tone than the teal-ish color that it looks like on the model. I think it would be flattering on anyone. I received so many compliments throughout the evening. I ordered the 0R and the 2R. I liked the way the 2 fit better. The dress is very long. I'm 5'3" and I wore the tallest shoes I own (about a 5" heel) and it still touched the ground. It was really lovely and I would definitely rent it again.

cute but bulky
I loved this dress on the model but was really nervous about ordering it considering the other reviews were not great. I decided to take the risk and order it. It was not my favorite. I was sort of in between the 2 and the 4. The 4 fit better in the body but was a bit loose in the arms but I went with that one just to be more comfortable. The dress fit well but the fabric is very bulky, as other reviewers have said. I wanted to love this dress but it just was not the most flattering. I felt a bit poufy in it, which is never good. I would only recommend this dress if you have a very slight frame. If you're curvy at all, I think it would be a bad idea.

Beautiful Dress! Great experience!
I rented this dress for a New Years Eve party. This was my first rental and I was a bit nervous because there were no reviews. The dress came in right on time and in great condition. I steamed it before our party just to get the very few wrinkles from shipping out. It is a beautiful dress and very well made. The fabric is a nice weight and lays well and it is a lovely, deep pink. Being a red head, I never wear pink but I think this color would be flattering on anyone. I ordered the UK 8 and 10 and was expecting to wear the 8. I'm almost always a 2 or smaller in dresses but the 8 was too tight to even zip. The 10 fit perfectly though. The picture makes it look like it's simply an A-line skirt but it's really a straight skirt underneath with draping that falls down the sides. You can't wear a bra because of the way it cuts down low under the arms so I did some stick on petals and it was fine. Loved the dress and the rental process! I'll definitely do this again!
