Great sweater!
Fit is true to size with room to wear a shirt underneath. Super comfy, with a flattering fit.

Nice look!
Great dress, but you'll want to use fashion tape, or wear something underneath, as it is relatively low-cut.

Luxurious feel and wonderful flowy skirt
Loved the look, fit, and feel of this dress. It's very elegant! If you have hips, you might not love the empire waist. Because it hits higher, it falls on your hips and doesn't really highlight your waist. That said, it's one of my favorite 'party' rentals to date!

Rave reviews!
I got compliments on this dress from everyone I saw in person and everyone who saw photos. It truly is special. I've got hips, so the under layer was a bit tight in the hips for me. I would have been more comfortable if I sized up, but this one fit perfectly everywhere else. It looks a bit more blue/gray than blue, but the color is very pretty!

Unique dress and GORGEOUS color!!
I absolutely loved how this dress fit. The dress showed off my curves, but it wasn't horribly tight in the midsection; I felt like I could breathe all night and had no problem dancing in it. It works with a normal strapless bra, which was another perk. The color is absolutely beautiful. Material was a little wrinkled when it arrived, and I couldn't quite get all of them out.

I would give this jacket 10 stars if I could!
This jacket is perfect! It's got a feminine shape, which hugs nicely at the waist, and the buckle on the front makes it fun and interesting. It is light and SUPER soft, but still warm enough for NYC in late November. Love, love, love! I might hang onto this one for a while.

Compliments all night!
This romper is just amazing. Perfect for a summer night! You obviously can't wear a bra because of the back. It felt tight in the hips right when I put it on, but once zipped, it adjusted everywhere and fit great. The fabric doesn't crease from sitting either, which really impressed me.

Love the back!
Theia dresses just make you feel special. I got tons of compliments on this dress, especially the back! Gorgeous, thick material, and the lace is to die for. If you have hips, definitely size up.

I was so close to just keeping this top. It's so versatile. You can dress it up or down. The bottom layer is super comfy and the shape works great over jeans or anything else. Love, love, love!

Typical Lilly -- awesome dress!
Dress fits just like every other Lilly shift I've ever worn. Great for slightly curvy/athletic build. Wrinkles a little easily from sitting, but you can wear normal undergarments, and the length was perfect.

KaufmanFranco just makes an amazing dress!!
This dress is the first daytime-friendly KaufmanFranco I've worn. Amazing cut, fabric, and detail, just as expected. The zipper in the back is super sexy, not to mention the color block pattern. Love the pockets in the front, too. Totally recommend!!

Gorgeous back! You'll need support up top.
This dress is gorgeous! I'm an athletic shape with hips, so I sized up and I'm glad I did. I was swimming in the top as a 34B. There is little support, as other reviews have said. I managed to wear a bra and just tucked the strap down in the back, which worked well for me. Great dress for dancing; I was comfortable on the floor all night.

Great for pear shapes!
I absolutely love the sexy bust of this dress! Cleavage for days -- even for someone small chested like me. The fabric is beautifully detailed. While it's fitted in the waist, as you can see in the pic, the dress poofs just below the waist, so there's plenty of room around the hips.

Amazing dress for a winter wedding (in the south)!
This dress fit perfectly! I think someone with a larger chest might struggle a little with fit in the chest. I wasn't able to wear a bra with the cutout in the back, but there is a nice liner and the dress has nice structure throughout. Plus, that cutout is just perfect, so no complaints here!

Perfect, versatile jumpsuit! Need a belt.
Tory Burch just knows clothes. Fabric and cut of this jumpsuit are great. The back and low, open front make it hard to wear a normal bra. I'm small chested, so went without one, and it worked fine, even without fashion tape. Length was perfect for me with 4" heels. I felt like it definitely needed a belt.

This dress is everything.
There is no other way to say it: this dress is incredible! I have been renting from RTR for years, and this is my favorite rental to date! As with other Theia dresses I've rented, it hits a little tight in the hips, so it definitely shows off the curves. The lace detailing is unbelievable! The design doesn't allow for a normal bra, but I didn't have any issues. Love, love, love!!

Great dress for a seaside dinner!
This dress was perfect for my birthday dinner! It's a pretty thick fabric, so there's not much give, but it keeps its shape through the night. I love the cut of the dress. I'm pretty petite up top, but larger on the bottom, and the dress worked well for that combo. Love the muted red color, too!

This romper is perfect!
AMAZING romper! I wore this out for a birthday celebration, and everyone loved it. I have an athletic shape, and this romper featured my curves perfectly. I didn't have any trouble with the clasp in the front staying closed, as I have with other rompers like this. Great color for summer, too!

Super fun dress! Tons of complements!
I wore this to a lunch and happy hour and got complements from everyone I saw that day. Great fit! Belt gives a nice contour around the waist, and it's forgiving in the hips. Dress cuts a little low in the front; I wore a black camisole underneath.

Perfect fit! Super fun cutouts!
Love, love, love this dress! It fits like a glove and is super comfortable. I could wear a normal bra, which is always a plus. It's a little longer than I expected (I am only 5'4"), but I thought it still looked cute.

Great romper for Spring or Summer!
I loved this romper! My husband loved it so much, he said I should buy it. Great fit for an athletic body type with relatively short torso. Like others have said, the clasp at the chest comes undone easily, so it might not be the best choice if you're going to be around children or doing lots of hugging.

Super comfy! Always classy!
I just love Lilly Pulitzer! This dress has gorgeous detailing and embellishments around the neckline, and, in true Lilly fashion, looks cute and sophisticated at the same time. The fabric was super comfortable, and fit was great for an athletic body type.

So in love with this dress! Such a stunner!
I got complements ALL NIGHT LONG! This dress is unforgettable. Obviously, plan not to wear a bra or to wear one that will cover your front only (what I did). I tried to wear it without a bra, but my 34B was not big enough to fill out the bust area. Length was perfect for me with 4" heels. Amazing dress!! Totally recommend!

So unique! Great colors and design!
This is one of my favorite RTR styles ever! Great design, and the fabric is super supportive. Not much give, so size appropriately. I normally wear a 4, and the 10 in this dress (UK) fit perfectly. The shoulder straps are such a unique shape that I struggled a bit with bra straps showing. You might be better off with a strapless bra, just to be safe.

Beautiful color and cut! Wish I'd received the belt, too.
This is a very classy dress. The second I put it on, my inner Jackie O. came out! It looked a little more form fitting than it is. It definitely runs true to size, so the dress I ordered was a little big on me. The matching belt looks super cute in the pic, but it wasn't shipped with my dress.

I looooovvveee this dress!!!
I would wear this dress all the time! Such a cute, flirty little dress. I wore it to work; it would be great for any day activity. I normally wear a 4, and ordered the 6, just because other Kate Spade dresses I've worn have been a little tight. The 6 was perfect in all the right places. Super comfy!

Great dress for every day or something special!
This is a great dress! I wore it to work, but it could just as easily fit in for a more special occasion. The wrap makes it fit great, and you could loosen or tighten as needed. It cuts a little low in the front, so be careful about bra choice. With the right bra, though, this one's a winner!

I'm now a jumper girl!
This jumper fit perfectly! The cut is very slimming, and it's extremely comfortable. 4" heels were perfect with it for my height. The back makes it a little tough to wear a normal strapless bra, but I tucked my straps down so it would be covered and only had to adjust my bra a couple times through the night. The zipper in my particular rental was a little temperamental; it would stick about two inches below the clasp going up and coming down. Wasn't a big deal. I'd definitely rent this again for almost any occasion. Great item!

Dress fit fantastic! Great for a small frame (esp bust and waist). Color and detail are beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful dress -- beautiful detail and comfortable to wear!
This dress was fantastic! I got so many compliments. RTR actually sent me this because my first dress choice didn't fit. I'm so glad they did. The detail on this dress is amazing! Because of the open back, you can't wear a bra, so take that into account. The fabric was thick/supportive enough that I wasn't uncomfortable, though. It's got plenty of room in the hips and isn't tight around the rib cage. I ended up wearing the 4 (even though this review says 6; 4 was my backup size and isn't showing up as an option), and it fit perfectly. Great dress!

Gorgeous dress!
I absolutely loved the color of this dress; it pops in any lighting. The illusion neckline is really flattering, too. I thought it would be longer, based on other reviews I read, but with 3.5" heels, the regular was the perfect length.

The service was perfect! The dress showed up exactly when it was supposed to and looked amazing.
I ordered both the size 4 and size 6, just to make sure that I had the right size for the event. Unfortunately, the 6 wasn't available, so I just went with the 4. It was a little tighter in the hips than I would have preferred, but I wasn't completely surprised. I think the 6 would have been better. The whole experience was very smooth.
