As always, theory does it well
I love the fuschia color of this dress and got lots of compliments wearing it. The dress was well-tailored and flattering. I did find the size 6 slightly small in the hips, which made the side zippered pockets unusable for me. If I rented again, I'd try the size 8. Overall, a great piece!

Cute top for work, especially for fall
Beautiful silk fabric and I loved the front of the shirt (deep blue with floral print). The red on the back side was more burgundy than I'd like for summer, so I wore this on a rainy day with a long white cardigan to hide the back. The shirt was comfortable and resistant to wrinkles and fit TTS.

The most compliments!
I wore this dress to work and then to happy hour, and it dress elicited the most compliments I've ever received on a RTR piece! I loved the golden stars on the pattern and could see this dress being flattering on most. I also found it TTS. There is a ton of fabric in the bottom half of the dress, which wrinkles easily, and I spent a lot of time steaming it to make it look presentable. For that reason I didn't find this dress as effortless as I'd hope, but I still felt oh so confident and cute in it!

Sexy and sweet
I wore this top out for a dinner on the patio of an Italian restaurant and felt super confident all night. The size 6 fit me like a glove - I was really impressed with the structure and tailoring of this item. It's a beautiful medium hue floral pattern, and the fabric was perfect for being outdoors on a warm summer night!

Adorable flowy pants
These pants were adorable! I loved the soft floral fabric. For flowy pants, they were reasonably flattering but obviously don't make your booty look as nice as your favorite jeans. My biggest complaint was that these seemed more like a cropped style on my 5'6" frame, which I don't think was the most flattering.

Gorgeous top
I rented this blouse just out of curiosity given it's price tag. I was shocked by how beautiful the details were (texture of top, detailing, tailoring)! I did go a size down from my typical size 6 as recommended by other reviewers, and I was glad I did. Size 4 was still flowy but not overwhelming to my frame. Beautiful silk material, couldn't recommend this top enough!

Versatile basic!
This dress is an amazing basic. The scuba fabric is thick enough to maintain a smooth appearance but comfortable in the summer heat. With the right accessories and layers, you could style this for a casual weekend, work, or a nice dinner. The dress is constructed of multiple panels, which really makes the dress so flattering and look tailored on multiple body types. I think the dress runs a touch on the small side. I am typical a TTS medium in most designer brands, but I felt this dress was a bit tight in my hips. My only complaint with the particular dress I got was there was some fading right on the collar of the dress. I was *this* close to buying this dress if it hadn't been for that flaw.

Adorable but seems like it is easily stained
The first time I received this dress, it came with dark armpit stains. RTR customer service promptly sent a new one out. The next one was sans armpit stains but did have a few small spots on the dress from prior wearers. They weren't noticable enough for me to not wear the dress, but I wouldn't consider buying this dress because it seems easily stained judging from this experience. Otherwise the dress is adorable and is close fitting around the waist and tapered through the hips. I definitely got a ton of compliments on this dress!

Adorable French girl pants
These pants embody adorable French girl style. I paired with a silk blush camisole and threw on an open chambray shirt for some extra coverage at work. I love the looser fit that still skims the body for a flattering look. The waistband hit at the smallest point of the waist, creating an hourglass shape. The fabric feels luxe but still cool enough for those hot summer days. My only complaint (and what would keep me from buying this item) is that the waistband latch is bulky and adds unnecessary weight at the waist. When you sit down there is also a lot of extra fabric at the crotch, which is not ideal. I found these pants true to size (I typically wear a size 6/28 in US sizing).

Cute but never wore
I thought this was an adorable romper but I never found the right opportunity to wear it. I found it loose in the stomach and tight in the bust, so the fit was a little odd for me. I love the pattern and colors and I would consider reordering it to take on vacation.

Beautiful and fun for work
Nice flowy work top that is perfect for tucking into pants or skirts. It was easy to drape with a simple tuck into my pants. The silk is beautiful and soft, and I love the teal and ivory pattern. It does wrinkle easily as others have mentioned, so I wore with high waisted jeans to minimize wrinkle opportunities. This seemed to work well. I had been wanting to try an equipment brand top to assess sizing and I found it true to size for a top that is designed to flow rather than be skin tight.

Versatile for work and play
I loved that this dress could be styled easily for both work and play. I wore this to work with a pair of black faux leather leggings and block heel suede flats. I got a ton of compliments and loved being able to show of my summer style in a work appropriate way. After work that day, I switched the leggings and flats for sandals and was ready for happy hour plans with friends in seconds. Great piece and the wrap style would be flattering on many body types. The main color is a soft periwinkle with a beautiful pink and purple floral pattern. The fabric feels like crepe, which added some visual interest through texture. The medium fit me well because I could tighten up the looser waist with the sash. Unlike some other reviews, I didn't find the sleeves to be too tight even though I have muscular arms. I highly recommend renting this piece!

Made me feel like celebrating
I wore this to a dinner a friend organized to celebrate a professional accomplishment of mine. I got endless compliments on this dress! I think it would be flattering on a lot of body types and is a sweetly sexy cut. I also love the colors - this dress put me in the mood for celebrating. The fabric feels substantial and high-quality, and I appreciated that it was lined. No need for a bra in this dress though I did wear my nippies for some extra coverage. At first I was worried the dress was too tight in the back but the adjustable straps made it easy to get the perfect fit. Can't recommend it enough!

Wore this to work and felt easy breezy all day
I run between a small and a medium in dresses depending on brand and fit. In a medium, this dress fit my bust (34D) but was slightly large on my waist (28in). But it was nothing that the belt couldn't fix! I loved the fabric (feels like a linen blend) and the print of this dress (medium hue yellow with floral print). Absolutely perfect for summer and the fit would be flattering for most shapes. The hem fell a little past my knees (I'm 5'6") and the dress isn't low cut so feels very appropriate for work.
