Size down!
I got this NWT and it was great except I was swimming in it. I received my typical size 4 and it could easily have been a size 6. There was also some stretch to it. There wasn’t any prior reviews or advice on sizing so I went into this blind.

Comfy & flattering
I wore this for a work event and birthday party. It was very flattering and feels like quality, weighty material without being too hot. The straps did fall down occasionally but overall I enjoyed it. Would rent again

50s housewife vibes!
Felt like I was going to a garden party! Loved the material and the pockets. I got so many compliments when I wore this dress, even from my son! I would definitely rent again, not sure if I would purchase.

These definitely run small. Not enough people are mentioning that. I couldn't wear these because they were so tight

Nothing special
They stretched out after a few hours of wear. I wasn't a fan of the wash either. Just didn't feel very premium

Librarian vibes
This is a polished, comfortable, casual knit that I wore for work. It was a little longer than expected. More of a maxi than a midi dress. If I could’ve shortened it then would be perfect in my opinion.

Size up!
Idk if these have been shrunk from washing but they were VERY stiff and VERY tight. Fit like a size 26 and not my usual 27. For this reason I would absolutely size up. Maybe RTR needs to lay off the starch as well. 😞

Runs one size larger
I’m so disappointed I wasted a spot on this item because it runs really large! I rented my usual size 4 as recommend by RTR and the pants fit like a size 6 so I was not able to wear them. I highly recommend sizing down!

Cute and preppy
If you have a more casual work environment then this is perfect. It shows a little leg but enough to be cheeky and not vulgar. This dress was super comfortable and easy to wear. First TTS and I wore it twice!

Size down!
I ordered my usual size 4 and I definitely could’ve fit better into a size 2 with this dress. There was a lot of extra room so that it felt pretty frumpy instead of flattering. It’s a shame because it is a cute style, but the fit was totally off.

Did not wear
Reviews were saying how tight the neck was and to size up?? Not the case! I wear a S and ordered a M and it was so big on me! I had a bit of an issue with fastening the neck buttons but it wasn’t a big deal. I just couldn’t wear it because it was so big and unflattering.

Didn’t wear
This just did not turn out to be what I thought it was. The elastic on the arm holes were so tight and scratchy despite it fitting everywhere else. The peplum flared out too much for my liking and only made my hips and lower stomach appear bigger.

Cute and comfortable
This was great for the hot Florida summer weather when I’m having to make visits to sales reps. It was almost too short so anyone over 5’8” beware! Great fabric that feels thick but is breathable. The snaps are very secure.

Too baggy for me
These were nothing special honestly. They were soft and comfortable but I didn’t feel like they were very flattering. The fabric is not really substantial so this ends up feeling like a relaxed, baggy jean and just not my style at all.

Get the matching dress!
This set is so adorable and perfect for work or brunch. I wore it for work and kept the jacket buttoned up as the matching dress is strapless. Looks very high end and feels like top quality. I will be purchasing.

These pants were surprisingly lightweight for hot, Florida weather. I wore them for work and the front slits helped keep me cool. I got a lot of compliments on them! They were BRIGHT orange which was unexpected. Like neon bright lol.

Perfect work/brunch outfit
I wore this for work and it was a touch short but I kept the matching jacket buttoned up so it was more professional. It was a bit tight in the chest for my 34D measurements but not u comfortable. It’s lined and feels like high quality construction. I got so many compliments and my boyfriend insisted he buy it for me just so I could wear it for him

Size down 2 sizes!
I wasn’t able to wear these pants because even after sizing down one size, they were still a bit loose and baggy. Michael kors always runs about one size too big for me but this was still too big.

This fits pretty true to size but I could’ve sized down and it would’ve fit. Very comfortable and looks professional. Great for hot weather, very breathable. I would rent again but it’s not impressive enough to purchase.

Size down TWO sizes!
I took others suggestions and sized down, but it was still too big! I wore it anyways and cinched the belt but I could’ve probably fit in a 0 and I’m normally a 4. It was still a pretty dress and comfortable. Well made and perfect for summer.

LOVE the fit!
Love love love these jeans! If they weren't so pricey I would buy them. I wore them 3 times. They're super flattering and high waisted. Just enough stretch to hold you in and hug your curves. I love the little pocket details in the front give it a retro feel.

Beautiful summer dress
This dress was beautiful for a summer event. It was lined but didn't feel heavy. The tiered skirt swished and fell so beautifully. I love that it had pockets! I may end up renting again and keeping!

Oversized and boxy
Oversized shirt which I didn’t expect. It was so boxy and baggy I didn’t wear it. The fabric was also very stiff from starch I guess.

Unflattering and complicated
This was so complicated to get on and off. There’s no zipper and the buttons are so hard to undo! The front looked great when on but the back bunched up around my rear and I have a pretty small butt. I’m not sure if it was too large or too small. It just didn’t work for me

Runs small size up
I saw some reviews sized up but decided to get my normal size small and it was too small. I think these types of fabric just tend to shrink after so many washes. The creases were also off. I’m going to try a larger size

It’s a crop top
I don’t know why they won’t just say it’s a crop top. It would save a lot of people time. I don’t wear crop tops. I’m 41 and it’s not my thing. If I had known this top was so short, I wouldn’t have picked it.

The color is even more striking in person. The loveliest color of green. It was very comfortable and stretchy. The arm holes were just a tad tight but it was not enough to put me off. A beautiful dress perfect for brunch, lunch, shopping, church. Easy to throw on and look put together.
