Not actually a dress
This "dress" is cute, but also deceiving because it has built in romper shorts underneath (which I personally felt were unnecessary & added bulk). You have to take the whole dress off to use the restroom. If I owned the dress I would have immediately cut the shorts out because they were generally annoying.

Huge!
I admit that I'm real short so it was ambitious to rent a dress like this, but it was so over-sized that I ended up not wearing it. The waist was cut too low & hung in an unflattering spot. The chest/sleeves were too drapey with the length landing at my feet so it made me appear shorter & heavier. That being said, this would have been a great choice if I was dressing up in costume as one of The Golden Girls.

Hard pass!
In my many years as an RTR member, this has to be one of the most deceiving items I've ever received. The picture looks cute & sleek, but don't let that fool you! This sweater is boxy, sloppy, over-sized and under-sized all at the same time, and feels like a burlap bag. While it technically "fit", it was so embarrassingly hideous that I shipped it right back. Pass!

Not great for curves
Yes these jeans are comfortable and well-made, but the wide placement of the back pockets was not flattering. It made my athletically curvy butt look like a wide pancake. I didn't end up wearing them.

Professional and comfortable
I agree with other reviewers that this dress runs a little large but it didn't make it unflattering. It's got great pockets and is comfortable but still professional. My only issue was the neck was HUGE!

Hilariously oversized
To say this item runs large is a complete understatement. Unless you plan to dress like a clown for a child's birthday party, this top is not cute or flattering or functional at all. I specifically sized down and my husband literally LOL'd when I tried it on. It fits like a jumbo pillowcase with neck and arm holes. Hard pass!

Great blazer!
Loved this blazer! It's got some stretch and fits clean. The arms are slim cut, which I liked because my biceps looked ripped! It also has nice deep pockets that can actually hold your phone and a tube of lipstick at the same time without looking bulky. Will rent again!

"Did you get that at Target?"
While this shirt was comfortable and true to size, it did NOT look designer in any way. It felt a bit wore out and my husband literally asked if I got it at Target. He was shocked when I said it was an RTR piece, and I agreed that it looks generic enough to be found in any store. It was best for lazing around the house on the weekend.

Not for petites
I'm short and this dress was clearly made for someone much taller than me. It hung below the knee and had a super long torso and super long sleeves, yet clung to my body so that a smaller size would not have been an option. I didn't wear it.

Ugh!
These were probably the worst thing I've ever rented with RTR. I have many leather leggings at home so I was excited to try a tan pair but they have ZERO stretch, meaning that if you have any curves whatsoever, the pants bunch and pucker and droop in the most miserable way. They were also weirdly short in the back so you'll be flashing buttcrack all day, while having mountains of material covering your midsection. I even tried the pants on backwards to see if I was wearing them wrong. I can't stress enough how bad these pants were!

Lots of compliments
Really liked this blazer and it fit well. Seemed a bit slim in the waist but to size up would have made it too big in other areas so I just didn't button it very often. It's more sparkly than you can tell from the picture - great find!

Classic piece
I wore this shirt multiple times because it was so versatile. Looked great under a blazer, skirt, etc. It's more offwhite than the pic shows, but comfortable and classic. Can't wait to rent this one again! Wish there were a bunch of colors in the same shirt.

So, so big!
Based on the reviews I sized down and it was still wayyyy too big. I had to roll up the sleeves so that I didn't look like a child wearing an adult's coat, but even still it was hanging off me. Also, it's soft and cozy but picked up every scrap of lint or hair and I was constantly lint rolling it. Did not love this item.

Professional and fun
So many compliments on this dress, and it's flattering for a curvy body. I'm sometimes hesitant to wear white because it will be too sheer, but this dress has some heft in the material so it's not see through. I would rent this one again.

Classy AND comfortable
I received many compliments on this dress - it's unique and comfortable. I definitely could have worn a smaller size (and I'm curvy) so size down! The sleeves were really long for someone short like me but I just rolled them a little and it looked fine.

Love the pockets
This skirt runs a little small in the waist, but everything else is loose and comfortable. The pockets are pretty sweet. I got a lot of compliments and the skirt went from day-time work to dinner out later.

Professional and cute
I received SO many compliments on this dress. It's cute and super flattering for all body types. My only issue was when I raised my arms I felt like I had bat wings, but everyone loved the dress. It was breathable enough for summer but I could totally see wearing it in the fall and winter.

Not for curvy girls
Ugh I wanted to love this dress but it looked like a weird fitted bag. It was completely unfitted in the waist but hugged my bust and hips just enough to look like it needed to be tailored differently. A larger size would have swallowed me because it was already a bit long.

Great color & style
Tons of compliments on this dress. It's fitted but stretches enough that it's comfortable. The length on a short girl like me was just above the knee. Definitely flattering.

Perfect traveling dress
I wore this dress for a trip to Greece. It was light enough for summer weather and super comfortable for walking around all day. The bust is a little tight but the rest of the dress is unfitted. I received a lot of compliments.

Too baggy to be chic
When my husband saw me in this shirt, he grimaced. It was a nice, lightweight summer shirt, but way too baggy and for someone short, it dwarfed me and hung far too low. Loved the color but not the fit.

Perfect for a fall wedding
For a short girl like me, it was a little bit longer than I'm used to, but otherwise this dress was really well-made and comfortable. I loved that it had pockets but be aware that you can't wear a regular bra because it is essentially backless. I got a MASSIVE amount of compliments on this dress.

Perfect for Vegas
This dress felt very well made and was comfortable in addition to really fun to wear. It's short and fitted, but still glamorous. I felt like the dress ran a little small in the waist and a little tight in the bust, but not so much that it was unwearable.

Wore this dress for a night in Vegas to see Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett. Need I say more?
Definitely size up. I'm typically a dress size 6 and I had to go with the 8, and even then it was snug in a few places. It's pretty short, but not stripper short. Lots and lots of compliments!
