Really fun dress with flattering fit and drape. I didn't wind up wearing it because I chose another option but it's a great dress and would be perfect for a party or a night out. It felt chic and fun and wouldn't need much in the way of accessories to style. Christian Siriano always delivers and the cut is perfect. Definitely recommend!

I've had this coat for over a month and have worn it countless times. It is so much fun and adds flair to an otherwise boring outfit. I have never gotten so many compliments on a garment as I have on this coat. I'm considering buying it but since it's almost spring I may hold off and hope RTR offers it again next winter. Highly recommend!!

I was on the fence about renting this skirt for a while, in part because it looked like it hit above the knee and I don't like things that short. I was pleased with the fit. It fell a little lower on me (I'm 5'7") so it hit mid-knee, which I like. The fit was also perfect. I just didn't think it was all that exciting or flattering. I paired it with a sleeveless collared white blouse and while it looked okay, it didn't inspire much enthusiasm. My husband deemed it "okay." All in all neither a success nor a failure.

I love this top! I wore it to an early evening casual cocktail party and to a beach club girls' dinner. Both times I paired it with white jeans, blocky heel nude sandals, and swingy white resin earrings. I felt terrific in it and got so many compliments. It fit perfectly. I opted to tie a bow in the front but I liked that it could be done in the back too, if one desired a cleaner look. I would definitely rent this again, and will consider buying it if the price drops.

I was so excited to rent this dress. The color is beautiful and I loved the sophisticated cut in the model pictures. Unfortunately it did not translate in reality. The neckline is very low. It ended below the center part of my bra. And there are two cutouts at the back under the arms/upper back. I had no idea of this or I probably wouldn't have bothered as I don't feel comfortable with them. To be fair, they may have been mentioned in the description but I generally just look at the photos and don't bother reading the text. The fabric was very nice quality and again the color is great, just a very tricky cut.

I rented this dress to wear on a girls' trip to Vegas and it was a huge hit! I love everything about this dress - it's so sophisticated without being revealing. I was with a group of very slender and fashionable friends and I felt outstanding in this. I paired it with peach and crystal Lele Sadoughi earrings (also from RTR) and nude strappy sandals, and had my hair done in a low chignon. It was beautiful and I felt so good. I even got compliments from a couple men - no easy feat for a full-figured 40 year old married mom! I did need to wear shapewear underneath but I think most people would (it's white, after all.) I wound up buying it and am eager for another occasion to wear it!

I typically wear a 3X in tops, with an occasional 2X if the hip portion is cut wide enough. This is a 2X and it was enormous on me. Like saggy baggy elephant skin. I'd say it runs at least two sizes larger than the tag, maybe three. It's cute and is nice quality but back it went.

I looove this dress on the hanger but sadly it was too small for me to wear. I rented a size 22 in another Christian Siriano dress of the same material that had a snug but wearable fit (I actually bought it!) Unfortunately this one is cut smaller than the other and I couldn't pull it off. To be fair, I didn't try it with spanx because I know myself and I'd still feel too self conscious even with a little smoothing. There's a possibility it could have been passable with really good tight shape wear. It is a beautiful dress and could be styled in so many different ways. If I lose some weight I'd definitely rent it again.

I branched out and tried this top despite it being a floral and in colors I don't typically wear. The fit was good and it was easy to pair - it went perfectly with olive ankle pants - but overall I thought it was blah and uninspiring. While I dislike low-cut tops, this one was too high to be flattering. A middle ground just below the collarbone would have been nicer looking. Not my fave.

I loved the bright neon green color of this bag! It punched up an otherwise boring monotone outfit. I got several compliments on it. It is configured as a cross body bag but for a beach party I removed the strap and carried it as a clutch. It has a couple slots inside for credit cards and an outside zip pocket too.

I love the pattern of this bag and thought it was the perfect way to punch up a dull outfit. The issue is with the size and shape. It's very long and narrow, and the straps were too short to wear comfortably as a tote bag. If it were wider and had slightly longer straps it would have worked well. I sent it back without wearing it.

Really pretty color and a nice roomy bag for everyday. It is a bit too worn though so it didn't look especially nice. It was fine but not as polished and smart as I'd hoped.

I didn't look closely enough or read the description thoroughly as I thought these were tortoise shell. Instead they are a deep, dull purple color. I really like the deco style but didn't care for the color. Wish they were tortoise as I'd thought! Still, they'd look very cute with the right outfit.
