A little big but sooo cute
A bit big in the waist and bust and actually surprisingly short in the back

Watch out for that slit
Fit wonderfully until I was walking to my car to leave for work and then realized that slit was rather high. If you've got legs for days you're probably good but as a curvy 5'2" woman it worried me throughout the day.

The slit is kind of high if you're short

Great Option for Fall, Winter and Spring
A soft, warm, classy sweater dress. I recommend wearing some sort of slip underneath, but otherwise, no complaints from me.

Professional Pop of Color
I got so many compliments on this top, my co-worker suggested I just buy it the 2nd time I wore it. Goes well with some many solids (black, royal blue, khaki). The 14 left extra room that I didn't anticipate with broad shoulders and a larger chest, but I would order again if I don't just go out and buy it in a 12.

Just trying to up my work wardrobe game
I wore this to work a few times and I think it made my co-worker rejoin RTR. It's definitely fitted, so some spanx or a other smoothing garment is a must, but it fit well, and accentuated my curves in a work appropriate manner.

Unless you work somewhere cool, don't plan on wearing this to the office.
So...I rented these for work and you can imagine my surprise when this wasn't space dyes khaki wool but shimmer pants. I ended up wearing them for a night out after work and they were a hit. I'm both short and curvy but these pants fit great! I was actually advised to just keep them.

Perfect outfit for an outdoor concert on my birthday
Generally, my issue with rompers and jumpsuits is that my torso is too short, however I think this romper may have been made for short torso'd girls because I almost felt like I didn't have enough length. I totally underestimated the other reviews saying that the button wouldn't keep it closed, but they were totally right - luckily I had a complimentary tank that I was able to put on under to keep things decent. Also, the shorts are SHORT. So, in summary if you are curvy, busty, or have any height to you, just be ready to show some skin. Despite all of that, I would totally buy this if I had the chance.

Just enough sparkle
The R length is very long (or perhaps I'm just short - only 5'2", plus heels). If you're petite, get the hem tape, otherwise you may be tripping all night - but at least you'll look great while you're doing it :-)

Definitely runs small
I didn't get to wear the dress anywhere because it was tighter on my hips than I was comfortable with. My friend did comment that it struck her as kind of "churchy" and not as party-ish as we expected.

Just a little extra touch
The earrings weren't heavy at all. There wasn't a lot of sparkle, but it was a nice touch to go with the dress I'd rented.

The perfect amount of sparkle for NYE
I'm petite, so the dress was longer than I thought was most flattering. The colors also weren't quite what I expected. It was bigger than I expected, but the 10 wasn't available as an alternative. I still got several compliments from strangers, but I think I smaller size would've gotten 4 or 5 stars.

Perfect mix of class and fun - it was exactly what I was looking for
I'm kind of top heavy, but I didn't have any problems. The material has stretch to it, so it will fit, but I recommend some sort of smoothing garment underneath.

The fabric of the rental looked a little worn, and darker than pictured.
Runs small in the bust - I have wide rib cage (on account of my bust), so this didn't work for me.
