Just okay
Fit just okay, a little large if anything. But the cut was fairly unimpressive

Couldn't wear
The zipper on this one is VERY DIFFICULT. I'd recommend avoiding the romper.

Very cute, but there is sequin on the fabric... so it felt a little over the top to wear to work.

The color combo is amazing; however, it is very oversized and boxy like other reviewers have noted.

Wore this to a winter wonderland themed birthday. Fit snug, just like I imagined... maybe even a tag tighter than I even imagined. LOVE the cut: so flattering for short people.

Awkward
I loved this color and style and wanted it to work badly; however, as other reviewers noted, the fit is a bit odd. For me it was gaping in the front, to the point where the fit was so bad there was no way I could wear it to work.

Great pattern, not the strongest fabric
Loved the colors palette- it's perfect for winter from that perspective, but the fit was a little challenging. I am a small, and so I ordered a small...but as the day went on this dress definitely stretched out in a bad way. It got a little baggy in unflattering places. I think an xs would have helped, but probably would t solve the problem. It worked okay for me, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Winter weather chic
Loved the color and texture. The faux fur was so soft and comfortable; the jacket even had straps built-in, in case you wanted to just drape it over your shoulders but have it stay in place! I had never seen that before in a jacket; it was Such a nice feature! It's not really a downside, but something to be aware of, the jacket is fairly wide. I loved it, and would rent again!

High quality lace, trendy style
I wore this to a friend's birthday party. The quality of the lace was great. I also love the stylish design with an open back and fluted sleeves - something I like to wear but not necessarily own. There's no structure in the bodice, so I'd recommend an adhesive bra. I also had to fasten the lace at the neck (so it actually looked like a high collar) - otherwise the lace was too soft and rolled down. Great rental, but I would not rent again only bc there are other great LBD options on the site.

I wore this dress for a formal wedding, and loved it. The fit is true to size, and the cut of the dress is very flattering. The ruffles made me feel feminine, while the cutouts provided a subtle edge. HIGHLY recommend.

Statement sleeves
The dress was snug in the chest (and I'm only an A-B cup), but had a little room in the waist, which worked out well for my body shape. The neckline can definitely be revealing pending your bra choice, but overall is a very sophisticated dress. The salmon/pink color and statement sleeves make a big impact. I'd recommend it for fall or winter events.

The fabric was almost sweatshirt-like on the inside. A very Chanel look that could easily be dressed up or down.

Figure flattering fabric, slightly itchy.
The dress has a fitted bodice and sleeves with a belled out skirt, which make it an extremely flattering cut for nearly any figure. I felt very skinny in this dress. I especially loved the crisp white collar that added a nerdy-chic sophistication to the dress. I wore this to work, and got lots of compliments. My only note is that it was a bit itchy where the seams hit. I wore a slip just to help with the scratching; it definitely helped a lot.

Classic design, true to size for a shift dress
I received this dress as part of my unlimited subscription, and ordered it to wear to work. The design of this dress is so sophisticated with the lace and collar. The lace itself was very durable, not too dainty or stretchable. My only regret is that I ordered an extra small. Most shift dresses look really big on my figure, (which is more of a petite frame) so I usually have to size down in order to get the perfect fit in shift dresses. That's not the case with this number; I'd recommend sticking to your true size.

Adorable.
No brainer. If you want earrings that are cute enough to drawn some attention but not as overwhelming or noticeable as true statement earrings, these fit the bill perfectly. The arrived with my RTR dress in their own box, which was really convenient. Per usual, phenomenal service.

Classic look for a baby shower
I rented this dress for my best friend's baby shower; it was perfect for the event. The design is classic with the snug bodice and pleated skirt; the back is a bit more edgy since it's open. I definitely recommend this dress for small chested women like myself. I imagine this may be difficult to wear if you had a big chest or larger arms, as the sleeves are a little snug too. Like many other reviews stated, the color is different in person. It's not a bad color, just more neutral than expected which left me wishing I would have gotten a spray tan. Overall it was great though!

High quality dress, just looked "okay" on me.
The dress is extremely well made; the sequin is really remarkable. However the cut of the dress was just "okay" on me. Due to the cut out in the back, I didn't have any help minimizing the size of my waist. Overall it was a great dress, but there are definitely other, more flattering styles I'd rent before going back to this.

Wedding Shower
This dress was perfect for my bridal event. It photographed white, as you tell from most of the reviews. It was really flattering, although it did run small. I usually wear 2 or 4; I wore a 6 in this dress but an 8 might have been a tiny bit more comfortable.

The dress was purchased in a sale. I thought it would be great for an upcoming wedding, turns out is more of a professional look. I still love it, it just serves a different purpose than I had originally anticipated.

Vibrant colors.
This is definitely a statement dress, thanks to the bold colors and pattern. The change from red to blue really accentuates your natural waist. I normally wear a small; I needed an extra small in order for the dress to fit properly. I'd recommend sizing down for your back-up size. Really loved the look: very fashion-forward. HIGHLY recommend this dress.

Class act
This dress was perfect for a formal affair. I rented the 2 & 4; there wasn't a noticeable difference between the two. The dress exuded class; the back left something to be desired, as the cut in the back was not nearly as flattering as the front. However, I loved it overall and would definitely recommend it for any bridal affair.

Well constructed strapless dress
This dress is a beautiful print in person, just as pretty as the pictures. I loved that the bust was snug (no need to pull it up constantly) and that the bottom was loose/comfortable. The pockets were a nice surprise! Overall, I loved this Ali Ro dress and would highly recommend it! I should note, that it would work best for girls with a small chest.

Color and cut
The dress was beautiful. The colors were vibrant and the back of the dress was sophisticated sexy. I loved the look. Walking around the city, the dress did ride up a bit, but overall, I'd definitely recommend it (especially if you're looking to stand out).

Great for RTR addicts.
Once I started RTR, I found myself using it for nearly all of my major occasions. With that being said, the Pro version saved me lots of money on shipping and insurance.

Perfect fit
Dress was beautiful. It fit well, and looked great on (very flattering cut for petite girls). However, it arrived three days late and I could not wear it to my event. Customer service was helpful, but I have to admit - I really wanted to wear that dress! It was disappointing.
