What even is this top?!
A couple of my favorite RTR dresses have been from this brand, and there's one I have my eye on to buy (a size 16). This XXL top wouldn't even come close to zipping up the side, and even if it had, it would have ended right underneath my bust -- not at all waist-length like in all the photos I've seen of it. Tried with and without a strapless bra; no go. I don't understand how the fit could be so very off.

Really pretty, but center "gemstone" looked pretty fake.
This was fun to wear, even if the blue gemstone was less than convincing! :) Polishing it up helped, and it was still a really pretty necklace!

Cute, fun, flirty!
This was super short, even after erring on the side of a larger size! Had to wear black tights with it. Lightweight and felt good, though.

Cute but super short, and definitely size up!
Love the '60s vibe of this dress, it was just pretty tight (I vary between 16/18, and the 18 barely zipped up.) It was also so short I didn't think I'd be able to wear it outside the house, but juuuust barely made it work with black tights. Next time I'd probably size up twice, in the hopes I might get a little more length too.

Fun and Cute!
I wore this to the office with a black pencil skirt and heels, and on the weekend with a denim mini-skirt and black tights and boots. It's really comfortable yet sharp-looking.

Pretty Dress for the Office
Cute! I wore with tall black boots, but it would also work with cognac boots as shown on the model. I normally wear a size 16 dress, but often am a size 18 on RTR, and the 16 fit just fine.

OK, Just Not My Favorite
I guess this fit true to size, and as pictured -- maybe it just looks better on a daintier figure. I just didn't feel like this did anything for my shape, and rather than vintage va-va-voom, the cut and the leg slit felt ... kind of corny.

Tight on top
Suddenly I had major underarm bulge! Would have zipped up, but I didn't bother -- too tight and unflattering on top.

Super flattering and chic
This was really short, especially with the side slit, but it still felt chic and classy and totally slimming!

Runs way too small
I have a size 16 dress in this brand that fits fine; this size 18 wouldn't even zip up, and would have looked horrible if it did! The "puff" sleeves just kind of draped pathetically.

Too short and tight
I like short dresses, even at 5'10," but even if this hadn't been way too tight for me, I would have had to wear it over leggings or something.

Pretty dress!
I really liked this with black tights and black booties. I'm a 16/18, and needed the 18 for sure-no stretch. Very fun and cute!

Short and sassy
I knew this would be short, and I'm 5'10" to begin with, but hey--thought I'd give it a try. Thought it was super cute even if I DID have to constantly tug the skirt down! High-quality fabrics. Wore with ankle booties and over-the-knee brown boots and loved both ways.

Fun pants, super comfy, cool flare
These are huge--I wear 16, and might've actually fit into the L better than XL. They're really special and fun. I'd like them even more if they were narrower up top, then had a dramatic flare, rather than being wide-legged all over. Still, felt very Mary Tyler Moore in these swingy pants--fun!

Didn't thrill me, but got lots of compliments
This felt a little conservative for my taste, but I did like the shorter length to balance that out a bit. My coworkers loved it and threw around compliments like "Looks so Jackie O!" I think I'd have liked it better in black than navy. Still, a cute enough dress for the office.

Love the open back!
This is such a pretty work blouse, with the added edge of a slight dip in the back. Wearing it today with black leather pants and it's perfect. Definitely size up--I took a size larger than I'd normally wear, because that's all that was available, and I couldn't have gone any smaller--no stretch to material.

So fun and flattering!
Love the way this pretty silk dress fits! I sized up to an 18 just to be safe, and am glad I did, as that fit just right. It drapes really well and then has this lovely ruching across the stomach that I thought was flattering. I also like that you can hitch up one side of the skirt with a tie, for a more asymmetrical (and sexier) look--I wore this on the long side at work, then shortened it a bit on one side for a date that night. Super comfortable, too!

The perfect dress!
This is absolutely my favorite work dress I've ever worn, and I even ended up wearing it straight from the office to a date last week and didn't feel TOO "corporate," thanks to the bodycon cut. It's flattering and demure yet sexy somehow. Had no trouble pulling it on, and it's so comfortable! Will definitely rent again and again!

The perfect little red dress!
Looks just like in the photos! I've been sizing down in this designer, but took the 52 (my usual size, 16) because it's all that was available. It ended up fitting pretty perfectly, though I think I could have sized down one if I'd wanted it a bit snugger. Soooo comfortable! The black straps really make it perfect with black shoes.

Hung strangely, but strangely appealing!
I think this just didn't fit my body type right (long torso, with a tummy). It looks gorgeous in the photos on the model as well as other RTR members! On me, it made my bust look great ... but also highlighted my tummy, and landed so short on one side, I could only wear it with my very highest-waisted pants. It wasn't nearly as long and languid on me as it looked in the photos -- I'm a 14/16, and even the XXL was very fitted, even snug, on me!

Don't bother if you're over 5'6"
I laughed out loud when I put this on. I knew it ran small, and am 5'10", so was fully expecting to need a good long cami the whole time I was wearing this ... but this barely went below my bra line! I went ahead and wore it for a day, but was constantly tugging at it. Even if I had a shorter torso, I'm not sure I'd have loved it -- it was just OK. Ironically, the sleeves were nice and long for once, which is something I sometimes struggle with!

Perfect for an end-of-summer formal party!
Like everyone says, this stretchy dress runs huge. I normally wear a size 16, so sized down to the 50 instead of 52 based on everyone's advice. I could have sized down even one more time, to a 48, and plan to do so next time I rent a dress in a similar cut from this designer -- because I do plan to! This was super comfortable and the pattern and fit were flattering. I have a new favorite designer!
