Gorgeous, simple, colorful dress
I didn't expect to like the dress as much as I did. The neckline is deep but didn't show inappropriately. There's a clasp in just the right place. It fit like a dream and looked sharp with hot pink heels. Wore it three or four times.

Gorgeous debut for a jazz concert
I recently sang in a jazz concert and rented this dress for stage presence. It certainly delivered!! Loved, loved, loved.

Too big
I must not have looked at the size when I ordered it. It was shapeless on me, so I returned it without wearing it. I bet a small would look great.

Runs small
Lovely tailoring, it just fit too tightly. I should've gone with my gut and ordered the four. (Not a literal gut, as I don't have one, but that feeling deeeeep inside.)

Nowhere to hide
The skirt was lovely, but a tad too tight for me. I think a size up might be too large, so I reluctantly sent it back without wearing it. I've been eyeing it for quite some time, so I might try again later. Either wearing a medium, or dropping a few pounds.

Back is wide open at the waist---be aware
Not very flattering. Returned without wearing. The open back didn't help.

Very loose dress with DEEP neckline
Dress was pretty and flowy. The arms are also very wide. The drape of the dress was nice, but the V was way below the bra-like and would only look if you were flat and wore no bra. I wore a tank and thought it looked a little dorky. Wore once and returned.

Statement pants that are surprisingly neutral
Loved these pants. Pretty drape, striking color. Can be challenging to pair with. No give, but an 8 fit perfectly. I would have purchased EXCEPT the wrinkle very easily for such expensive pants. I steamed them before work and after sitting for half a day, they had a crease at the point where your legs bend (visible in photo.) Such great pants--wish the fabric was a little more resilient.

Gorgeous statement earring!
I rented these to wear to work to spice up some outfits. SO CUTE! They go with everything (in my color palette) and are just so creative. Love them!

Statement bracelet
Statement. I mean, very statement. You almost need to be wearing all black to pull it off. Otherwise, it's too much. Given the size and heft, it almost felt like a WonderWoman cuff. Doesn't work with delicate things and really draws attention, so competes with detailed things. I loved how it looked on my dresser. So sculptural. Alas, since I rented it as an accessory and not as decor, I kept for a week and wore a few times, then returned. Will rent next time I need to save the world.

Very sexy. Very not-workish.
Maybe just me, but my bust was full-on Victoria Secret in this jumpsuit. Awesome for weekend but not for work. The fit was a little snug but not uncomfortable. For some reason, although I'm small, the detailing around the waist/peplum made my hips look big. Also, the shoulder to bottom (as in bootie) length was a little short and, although didn't look short, definitely felt short. The fabric also has no give, which may have contributed. I'm not long-waisted, so the overall fit was a little odd. Would probably not rent again and will actually return after wearing once.

Adore this dress.
Lovely. Light. Perfectly fitting. Comfortable. Non-gaping v-neck (shocking.) Nice contrast of sweet fabric and ruffles with asymmetric and Ikat. Navy, not black. Elegant. Great drape. Wonderful fabric. Wore several times and kept for a few weeks. Versatile: church, work, dinner. Love.

Solid Work Dress
Rented for work. Was looking for a nice white/cream dress. Wasn't wowed by it, but the dress wasn't bad. There is some interesting detailing around a high waist that makes the drape a little stiff, and the length is off--a little too long for complete elegance. Fabric was stretch/poly; not the most high-end feel. A solid 3 out of 5, but nothing special. Not sure I would rent again.

Great weekend dress
Such a pretty, happy dress. Nice flow and movement, great drape, unexpected details (gentle ruffles on arms.) It ran a tiny bit long--if I owned it, I would hem an inch or two up. Still wearable with shoes. Very comfortable. I wore to work (lots of compliments) and also on a weekend (lots of compliments from strangers.) Kept for several weeks. Would consider buying but th discount is not that significant.

Comfortable and Elegant
Loved these pants. Light fabric but with enough hot to drape well. Easy, comfortable, elegant. I would have purchased but the 4 hung a little loose--not so much that they looked bad, but enough to make me want to try the 2 on for fit comparison. Looked great with casual and more dressy outfits. Wore with snakeskin sandals and a Vince silk top.

Lovely draping and folds--perfect for work
Lovely deep blue color; elegant neckline and origami detailing in skirt. CONS: - a little bit in the waist and hips PROS: - great material - design is unusual with folds - comfortable and elegant

Vavoom dress--gorgeous color
Lovely dress, great shaping, amazing color. I ordered a size 6 and it was perfect--I am normally a 2 or 4. PROS: - substantial scuba fabric hits all the right places while holding you in - looks amazing on CONS: - smelled bad so I didn't wear it out. Smelled like a smoker had worn it and then it got dry cleaned - the scuba fabric makes it hard for skin to breathe--I never smell under my armpits and did after wearing for 15 mins around the house - tiny bit tight around upper arms--didn't look tight, but felt tight

Didn't wear.
4 was too big. Should have gotten a 2. However, cut seemed a little dowdy regardless of size.

Great for work and weekend
Cute spring dress. Got lots of compliments on it. Was a little hard to match shoes with. I'll try it with sneakers this weekend! Also, came with a small ink spot on it.

Elegant, simple blouse
Loved this blouse. Elegant and nicely structured. The armholes are a little big; you will need to wear a cami to keep your bra from showing. I rented a 4; it looked nice but I should have tried a 4. Would rent again/consider buying. Beautiful cold weather too; fabric is very heavy so would be hot in spring/summer.

Flattering dress, pretty color
Rented for work. Loved deep green color and subtle ruffle. Cut was perfect, but the dress had a slight gap in back by butt (could be because I'm a 2 in bottoms but wear a 4 in dresses because of my bust.) Will rent again; considering keeping.

Best for smaller busts-- or size up
Rented for work. Asymmetrical detailing is very cool, but top runs tight at bust. Size up and consider that all the detailing may not be the most flattering look for a busty girl. I liked the look, but it wasn't the most comfortable. The fabric is very heavy--you won't want to wear in summer.

Pretty style
A few things to consider: + not lined + fabric is lighter which affects the drape + more of a shift dress; not super fitted + neckline can be bothersome--is fairly high In general, very pretty.

Slim Dress with Fashion Forward Sleeve Detail
This dress was a little more flamboyant than I expected from the RTR photos. Yet, I still really liked it. When I put it on, my 8-year-old told me I looked like a "fashionable witch." HA! I wore to work and got compliments from co-workers and a perfect stranger at lunch. The sleeves are major statements. They are not too long, and the material is very heavy so the sleeves don't flop. They also have large metal grommets that add to the drama. This is not a dress for the faint-hearted. The material is very thick, making the dress somewhat heavy--it is definitely not a warm-weather dress. When I say heavy, it wasn't districting--more that the material had a presence. It had some stretch to it and was form-fitting, but didn't feel too sexy because of the boat collar, length (past my knee) and longer sleeves. It was comfortable to wear and not constrictive at all. The only "con" is that the sleeves would NOT fit in any coat I had. You would HAVE to wear a cape. Also, not sure how breathable the fabric is. I sweat very little and usually have no odor issues, but my underarms were a little scented at the end of the day. Luckily, the heavy fabric also kept the scent in. ;)

Gorgeous Statement Pants
Loved these pants and would consider keeping. All the reviews were positive, and I'm so glad I rented. They are elegant and unusual, but yet not over the top. I got my normal size and they were perfect. The shirred legs were a wonderful detail. Although it seems they might be too unusual, I could style this a number of ways. The pants have a little bit of stretch and were very comfortable. They were slim but not skin-tight. One thing that surprised me was that the plaid was slimming and not enlarging. I have tried on plaid pants at Banana where the plaid made even a small behind look big. The way the darts and pattern are places made me look tiny. YAY ME! One thing to note is that the plaid is navy and red, not black and red. I wore with a slim navy sweater and navy heels. Can't wait to style it a different way!

Dramatic, flattering, versatile dress
Love, love, love this dress and would consider buying. Got lots of compliments on it (although my husband told me I looked like I came from the Handmaid's Tale...) Comfortable dress, great weight of fabric. Flattering and nice drape. The arms and front detail aren't for the faint-hearted, but I felt very confident in it. Good work length; not as short as it appears. Wore to work and then a dinner party afterwards; paired with off-black hose and black booties. Very stylish. Only con was that from time to time, the neckline could feel constrictive depending on how the dress had shifted.

Comfortable, fun work dress
Fit true to size. Hits right above the knees, but because the skirt is loose, it didn't look to short for work. Wore with cream and brown snakeskin heels. Very cute--would rent again!

Elegant pants with unusual tab detail at hem; would work for day to night
Loved these pants. Elegant and simple; wide legs hit and the right place at the ankle. The fit was great, if a touch loose. It certainly wasn't tight around the waist and butt. One thing to note is that the stripe on the side and around the bottom of the pants are really more of a cranberry color, not a red. I rented a top with red in it to go with these slacks, and I had to wear it with something different. Wore to work with cranberry heels and a cashmere black sweater. Would rent again. Very versatile, I might keep it beyond one wear.

Runs small and tight
Pretty style. Very short waisted and fabric is very constrictive, although stretchy. Made my bust look huge. Didn't look flattering on me; I'm 5' 6", 118 lbs and 32D bust. Returned without wearing.

Great work top with dramatic flair
Rented this top for work. It's made of a mesh stretchy fabric, like WestonWear and Sweet Pea. It felt a tad bit stretched out--this type of fabric tends to need a good wash to shrink back after wear--but was still flattering. Cap sleeves were nice if you don't love your shoulders. Although the fabric is stretchy and drapes, it isn't too thin. It has a higher neckline with a tie in the back and a dramatic ruffle on one side/shoulder. Worked well for me, but might be challenging for someone super busty. I wore with skinny black pants and black booties + loved!
