Not for DD+
Fabric is not pleasant; like a rayon and pretty thin. The structure is there, but I was super squashed in the chest and could not wear it. Not enthusiastic about the dress in person so no big loss.

Felt like a little girl trying on a beautiful dress for the first time
Wore this for my first in-person board meeting since WFH was lifted. It's an exquisite dress--full skirt, beautiful fabric feel, moves so well it makes you speed up your walk. Loved everything about it.

Easy and elegant
I am not normally a fan of drop waists but this was certainly and exception. The fabric feels great, the sleeves are very well constructed, the pockets do not ruin your silhouette. The print is just so pretty. It makes a statement with minimal effort. Wore with over-the-knee boots and tights and I felt very feminine without being uncovered.

Feels like a blanket; looks like fashion
I have very broad shoulders and the large was still too big. (5'7", athletic, 170lbs) Size down. But I wore with a white mock turtleneck, jeans some grey/green leather boots and it looked casually luxurious. It also felt soft and comforting. Only wore once since it was so big it required frequent adjusting, but will definitely rent again in a medium.

Great casual piece
Girls weekend in San Diego. This was perfect for current mood because I didn't want to get dressed up, wanted comfortable shoes, but still wanted to look cute. Could shove this in my bag and wear once the sun went down and started getting cooler. I'm a lifter and the medium still had plenty of room in them so if your arms are small/slender, size down. The jacket is quite short so high waisted jeans would be good for this one. First wear my shirt was visible in the back and it looked sloppy.

Nice dress but arms too small
I have pretty big arms so the dress was constricting. Loved the design of the dress, but was uncomfortable due to restricted movement in arms. Fit everywhere else and it was just okay. Recommend for tall and lean women. Muscular or petite, this one isn't for you.

Better than photograph, thin material
This is a thin poly material so I was freezing for a large portion of the day, until I got to my warm office and was hot and uncomfortable. It's an easy dress, moves well, and is striking so if your weather is warmish fall weather, I'd recommend. Arms are short in this dress so my wrists were sticking out of the cuffs. That's a lot of complaints for something I generally think of as a good rental, but I'd cal this good, not great, and definitely worth renting once.

Don't know why I think I can wear sweater dresses
Loved this because the color blocking and longer sleeves made for a great silhouette. But this is a sweater dress and is just as unforgiving as the rest of them. So if you have boobs, are high waisted, or have any curves at all, maybe think twice.

Alllllll the drama
This was so much fun. Wore it to work and was honestly expecting some teasing since it's essentially a cape. It's dramatic, well fitting, and if you have a nice back you will adore walking around in this top!

Felt like a European crossing guard
Was so excited about this slashed lapel jacket. I feel like this could be very nice on a slight frame, but with broad shoulders it was just too boxy. The fabric is also really unpleasant to the touch. Great idea but not for me.

Too literal 90s retro
I was really craving some 90s clothes, a chance to revisit high school. This was too short and school girl for 40. Or at least for this 40. Thought about pairing it differently but really I felt like I was reliving time already passed. Returned without wearing. If you can pull off this look better than I could, note that it is SHORT!!!!

Perfect summer/fall transition
This dress is so forgiving! Gained 15 pounds this summer so I have more curves than normal. Still, I felt very confident in this even though it's form-fitting. The slight ruching also gave me a little booty so that was a plus. The fabric is a sheer, thin, stretchy print made to look like wool, so it's a fall look that can be worn in 100 degree weather (so Texas fall). Id imagine this is a good dress for all sizes. Will rent again, whether I get bigger or leaner.

Couldn't even get my arms in it
I don't vanity size. One of the things i like about RTR is that you're not married to sizes because you don't have to buy anything. But I couldn't even get my arms in a size 10. All I can say is the color was vibrant and make sure you size at least 2 up. What a waste of time.

Perfect for comfortable party attire
I've gained 15 pounds over what was a REALLY FUN SUMMER so I'm not quite sure what flatters my body right now. This is not something I would have normally ordered but it was perfect! I felt comfortable and looked great. Sleeves were fun. This one's good for all shapes and sizes but really accentuates legs and booty.

Stylish and comfortable
This is such an easy shirt to look put together. Paired with some denim trouser crops, then again with black crop pants and bright blue espadrilles. Both worked very well for casual work events. Going to wear one last time (this will be the fourth) before I send back but am keeping it in my "tried and true" hearts. I'd think this is probably more befitting taller women but would work for both athletic and curvy.

Beautifully cut!
This is the type of dress that looks like nothing on the hanger and then you put it on and it's transformed. I keep weight in my middle and have no hips but the dress is cut right at my most narrow point, making me look feminine when I have an athletic build. The large pockets in the front are FUN. I literally strolled everywhere during work, hands in pockets. Definitely keeping this in the rotation.

Pretty and comfortable but too long in crotch
I adore clothes with the look and feel of pajamas so I really wanted to love this. It was so close, but the inseam hung about four inches too long which made it look sloppy on me. Cannot for the life of me figure out how at 5'7" and 160 I was wearing a small and the crotch was too big. Pretty but not for me. Returned without wearing.

Dramatic and functional
I loved this shirt. Paired with a dark denim trouser and plan to pair with white slacks. The medium was very roomy--the waist is in no way tapered so looks good untucked or front-tucked. The back of the collar is quite large so this will only work with an updo or very short hair. It certainly draws attention. Will definitely keep in rotation.

PERFECT FOR BEACH WEDDING
Wore this to an outdoor wedding in the caymans (hot+humid) and it was perfect. The wrap dress kept a breeze moving under the skirt so I never got that sweaty thigh problem you normally get. The ruffles on the wrap give it a lot of play whenever I walked so it was fun and gave me an extra spring in my step. Several women called it the "perfect" dress and it really was. It was cotton but thin enough to breathe, lots of coverage but still super feminine and REALLY fun to dance in! Will definitely rent again. I am in LOVE with this dress. Medium had plenty of room.

Roomy, dramatic and flowing
This dress runs very big. I wore a small regular, am 5' 7" and 165 lbs and I probably would have preferred an XS. I had to wear 6" shoes to get any clearance and it was still skirting the ground. Still, it's an exceptionally dramatic pattern, has pockets, and you can eat anything you want in it. Ended up not needing it and returned it unworn, but will rent again for sure. Recommend this for broad-shouldered women. It could easily swallow someone without toned arms/back/shoulders.
