Cool and classy for summer
Liked this for the hot summer. I was able to zip this up myself without contortions. To get the top correct, look at the RTR pictures. The braided choker goes through the keyhole. Then fasten the braided choker around your neck with the larger button and elastic buttonhole. Then tie the bow. All of this can be done by you without too much effort. I am pleased with this choker arrangement because I don’t need to worry about the bow coming undone or the dress shifting down in front. Everything is secure. Love this, just not on me.

Great evening outfit
Cream silk top attached to cream crepe pants. I wore a strapless bra. The straps kept falling off my shoulders, but I felt elegant and cool for a dinner at Saint Elmo’s. The silk belt also kept coming undone. Despite the minor inconveniences, this is worth it.

Goldilocks dress
This was too big, too small, and just right all at the same time. I sized up one size. The hips were too tight such that I could not fully pull the dress down. The dress is a bit short for 5’ 7” without this challenge. The waist and chest were too large. Typically when I have a sizing issue, my rib cage is where I can’t zip past. The dress is not see through, so no bra is needed. And the ruffles hide all flaws. The straps constantly fell off my shoulders. Despite all of my concerns, I loved wearing it around the house. Someone with a different body shape will be 100% in love.

Perfect summer dress
This dress is well made. It is lined with the kind of lining that is sewn into the bottom of the dress to keep the lining in place when you pull the dress over your head to put it on, and to prevent the lining from bunching throughout the day. No special or additional undergarments are needed. No concerns for wardrobe malfunctions or adjustments; it is nice to just wear clothing. The material is a linen replica but doesn’t wrinkle excessively because of the lining. The sleeves are slightly puff with a band finishing and sewn on ricrac at the ends. The ricrac is sewn to all of the finished fabric ends of the dress. The pockets are kangaroo; this keeps the silhouette sleek. I am 5 6 and I needed to remind myself not to bend over, but this dress was perfect in every other way. So well made. So comfortable. Rent the runway needs to create a golden star category for “immediately buy more clothing of this caliber” for items like this dress.

Perfect
This dress was perfect for my body type. The bust has padding, so no bra was needed. There was no concern about leaning forward and exposing myself. The material lends more toward a thicker linen effect and did not wrinkle much in hot weather. The dress was not see through. I could zip this up myself. (I seem to have encountered a gaggle of zippers that get stuck when the garment is loose. Zipper quality is in decline?). Love this dress. Wore it to the farmers market for Vietnamese egg rolls and rhubarb pie.

Lovely winter look
I thought the quality was lovely, and I will probably try again in a larger size. This one fit great everywhere except my lowest rib. I couldn’t step into this, it wouldn’t go past my hips. However, I could easily slip it over my head, and once on it easily zipped past my hips but would not close at my rib cage. Consider sizing up.

Lovely sweater dress
High quality knit dress. Flared cuffs and skirt were added lux details. I wore Spanx; the navy color helped a bit also. The dress will show every curve. This didn’t make me look great or boost my confidence. However, someone who is not carrying extra weight will look stunning in this dress.

The quality is evident, and this is warm and soft. It is large and boxy; you can size down if you don’t like the extreme look. Be aware it is purposefully short, and the sleeves are long in the I don’t use my hands for anything look. I went for a walk and used the sleeves to keep my hands warm.

Mixed reviews
As others have noted, this is large, which you can see in the model photos. The dress is a tiny bit stiff, which enhances its ability to not drape to the floor. You will not need a crinoline to achieve the full dress look. There are no buttons or zipper. You can either step into or pull over your head. Size down. At some point sizing down will make it impossible to step into the dress, but I don’t have the data for that. I could have sized down two sizes. I loved this dress. Everyone else felt free to inform me that it didn’t flatter my figure. I wore this to an upscale restaurant and felt glorious. I also wore this as a friendly tent witch for Halloween. My husband and I agreed that it was friendly for the kids and terrifying for the adults. A rare combination, indeed.

Gorgeous dress
I loved the color and material and fit with the exception of the slit length which hit just above the widest part of my hips. I did the world a favor and did not wear this. This will be lovely on ladies less than 5’ 3”. Also, the sleeves are very small. I loved the accentuated ruched look. But I suspect that the sleeves will be tight if you don’t need several links removed from watch bands.

This dress will make you look gorgeous. You will need no special considerations and will not need to worry about a wardrobe malfunction. This dress is perfectly designed in every way. I loved this dress. I looked so good in this dress. The shoulder pads were bunched up into blobby wads. I couldn’t wear this dress. RTR was kind enough to exchange for an open spot. Someday, I will wear this dress.

Casual
This jumpsuit was exactly as expected and the pictures represented it well. There is an elastic cord running through the back of the waist that you adjust through the pockets. The cord creates definition in the back and is a nice touch. The buttons for the jumpsuit are easy to manage. I carry my weight in my tummy, so the combination of the elastic in the back of the waist and the purposefully loose front accented my tummy. A comfortable choice, but nothing fabulous on me.

Sexy sweater dress
I loved the weight of this and the details of the sleeves and skirt. Because of the weight, the cutout kept moving lower and exposing my bra. I tried to use tape, but that was impossible with the sweater material. A beautiful selection for a dinner date, but not with someone you can’t ask to let you know to adjust your dress. Continuously. This one is work.

This is a lined mesh dress and really comfortable. I wore a slip underneath because the combination of mesh dress and lining allowed an incredible amount of light through. No special undergarments are necessary. You can move in this with ease. My 25 year old daughter thinks this is the best rental yet.

Little house on the prairie dress
You will hear "little house on the prairie" from an excessive amount of folks with this dress. I wore a slip underneath, but that was only for strong sunlight. This fit me really well, which may be a caution for you. I have a very small chest. Anyone endowed will need to size up to get the zipper to close.

70s jumpsuit
This is a solid choice for a jumpsuit. Undoing the buttons to get into and out of this was relatively easy. It isn't see-through. The one button at my waist gaped open when I put my hands in the pockets. The polyester fabric combined with the print and color scheme reminded me of the 70s. There is elastic at the waist that gives you definition. Two strangers complemented me on this jumpsuit. I should have adored this, but the fabric is not my favorite.

September in Houston
Great dress for 91 degree Houston weather. This fit well and breathed during a walk through the gardens. I was comfortable and had no worries of a wardrobe malfunction. I wore with a strapless bra, no slip. This does wrinkle some, which you can see in the photo. I had been sitting on a bench in the sun beforehand. All things considered, a perfect summer dress.

I wore this to get a manicure and pedicure during vacation. I steamed this when I got it, which I absolutely needed to do because the detail at the neck was not laying flat. I wore a slip underneath with a standard bra and was comfortable all day. I loved it. My husband hated it because I looked shapeless.

Great beach dress
I felt so nautical! The blue sash of a belt is missing, so I added my own. I also wore a slip underneath as the fabric is thin, which is cool for hot weather, but allows sunlight to pass through. The asymmetric shoulders led to the strap of the slip showing, but I wasn't bothered because I was on vacation. I would be annoyed in a more formal setting.
