What a gorgeous dress! I'm 5'6 and it was a little longer on me than on the model. I got so many compliments on this one!

Yikes, would not rent again. It's not flattering in any way- nowhere near as breezy as the model photo looks. It just looks bulky.

Cute work pants
Got lots of compliments on these! I generally wear a size 6, maybe a size 8 (curvy hips) so I decided to go up a couple sizes, and the 48 was perfect. Fitted enough to be professional but without being too fitted.

How disappointing! I'm a true size 28, but based on reviews decided to size up to 29. Nope. I could barely get these up to my hips, and forget actually buttoning them. If you have any hips or a booty, size up a minimum of 2 sizes, or this isn't going to work.

Runs small- couldn't wear them!
I'm a true size 28, but I couldn't even get these up to my hips! Such a disappointing rental. The color is lovely so I wish these had fit, but I would have needed to size up 1 or even 2 sizes.

Couldn't wear- way too small!
Yikes, this was awful. I'm almost always a size 28, but I could hardly get these over my thighs- if you have hips or a booty, forget it. Couldn't get these to fit with my hips even though the waist seemed like it would've been fine. Unfortunately, these are an automatic return. I'd need to size up probably 2 sizes.

Nice color
I run anywhere between a 27-29, depending on the brand (and any slight weight fluctuations). The 29 was very fitted. I don't personally mind a fitted jean, but these were just tight enough to be slightly uncomfortable; I couldn't have worn them if I was out and about running errands all day. That being said, they're a nice looking pair of jeans!

Didn't fit
I'm a true small and was swimming in this dress- the top didn't fit in the slightest. It was so loose up top that half of my bra was exposed. I would've had to taped half the dress to my body to get it to be remotely appropriate, which is way too much effort for what was supposed to be a casual weekend dress. Needless to say, I returned this one immediately.

Beautiful pants
Love! I wore these to work and got compliments galore. They are absolutely formal enough to wear to work if you pair it with the right top/blazer, but you can also keep them casual. The colors are gorgeous and the material is super comfy. I tend to be more of a 4/6 but opted to size down based on other reviews, and that was the right call. The 2 fit like a glove! Definitely go down a size (or two, if you prefer a snugger fit like me).

Stunning
Oh my goodness, this is definitely one of the *best* rentals I've ever had. I got compliments left and right from everyone I work with. It is so professional and fits very nicely- slim enough to have a very professional fit (especially when buttoned) but not uncomfortably tight. I paired it with a shell/sleeveless shirt each time I wore it and it wasn't too bulky- I could even fit my warmer winter jacket over it. The weight is heavy enough to serve its purpose as a 'jacket' in an air conditioned office, but not overly hot. I'm petite on top and the 0 fit perfectly. If it goes more on sale, I'll absolutely buy it. Can't recommend more strongly!

Wow, this dress is amazing! If you have curves be prepared for this dress to show them off. The slit is super high so wearing Spanx is difficult if not impossible; I managed to roll them up really high on one leg just to have a smooth look through the hips. But the dress fits amazingly, and is the perfect combination of elegant and sexy. I wore this for a desert Christmas photo shoot with my boyfriend and it was an amazing style for the look I was going for. I would definitely wear it again!

Gorgeous colors
I wish I had sized down for the XS, but the small worked well enough. The V cut is pretty deep and there is a snap, but if you're not careful you can show more than intended. It's seriously a beautiful dark purplish red color, not red like the model photo makes it look. The arms are sheer but not too much. The details really make this a gorgeous blouse- slightly raised decals, and it shines in some places when the light hits it right.

Great fit
Fit like a glove! I wore Spanx just to keep everything looking smooth, but they really do fit great and are perfect for work. Very comfy and easy to wear all day! The material isn't super thick so I probably wouldn't wear these for a chilly outdoor event, but great for the office.

I loved the twist on regular hoop earrings, having the crossed bands. The colors are really pretty but they're not too bold to be able to wear them to a formal event. They weren't too heavy either- always my biggest concern with earrings!

Fits in all the right places!
I was between the XS and S but since the S fit great, I didn't even bother trying on the XS. It hugs in all the right places and fit like a glove! I definitely wore Spanx to keep everything looking 100% but overall it's a flattering dress, even for those of us with a curvier hip area. I would suggest ordering your regular size but sizing down for a backup, since there's some give to the fabric (but it doesn't choke you, it's just stretchy). One thing to be aware of is that it's NOT the lightish green color in the model photos. It's definitely a deeper blue/green- not quite as dark as in my photo, but it's a darker color that would be great for a winter wedding.

I loved these earrings! I don't usually do hoops, but for NYE I wanted to do something bolder to go with my dress. These earrings were perfect. Even though they have the pieces dangling, they weren't overly heavy. They were the perfect size; big enough to grab attention, but not so big that they looked cheap.

Bold and daring!
This dress doesn't turn heads, it breaks necks. Be prepared for non-stop attention. I was between the XS and S, but the arms were a bit snug (in both sizes) so I sized up to the S. Since the small was a little roomier up top I used some fashion tape to keep that and the belt securely in place. In the XS, where everything except the arms fit, the dress fit like a glove and there wouldn't have been the need for any tape. One thing to be cautious of is serious underboob- I'm a 32A but had a hard time fitting, which has never happened before. Since the arms are tighter than most dresses and the top is tiny, I'd highly suggest sizing up if you're usually between two sizes. This dress is super easy to accessorize with golds and nudes.

Hands down the most amazing piece of jewelry I have ever rented. The snake ring is edgy and beautiful, and even though it's long it was still a comfortable fit on my finger. My fingers are thin and I typically have a hard time with rings, but this one fit perfectly on my index finger. The colors are just bright enough to get attention but not gaudy. I wish I owned this!

This necklace is gorgeous- but it's very understated, so if you're looking for a bold piece, this isn't it. However, it's subtle and beautiful. Great for a low-cut dress! The clasp was tricky to navigate, but my boyfriend was able to help me fasten it. I'd rent this again in a heartbeat!

Stunning dress- so many compliments!
This dress is gorgeous. As others have noted, there's a beautiful gold lining throughout the dress that just doesn't seem to show up in pictures. So when you're adding jewelry, I'd suggest going with gold (and some pearls, for a more elegant look). It fit like a glove; no bra needed! I spent the entire night getting compliments and having people ask where they could get it. My one complaint is that this dress is long!! I'm 5'6 and wore 6 inch heels, and had to pin it up an inch so I wouldn't trip all over it. Not easy for dancing.

Only wear this dress if you're prepared to be the best-dressed person in the room--it's an absolute showstopper. I felt like an absolute princess wearing it!

Classy dress- great for the country club
I wore this dress to a ladies tea at the country club, and absolutely loved it- I was getting compliments left and right. The slits on the side aren't very big, which makes it perfect for a more formal affair. The XS fit well, but the neck was a bit snug and there's no give in the fabric. So if you're between sizes, I'd recommend sizing up!

Lightweight and comfy
This is a cute little romper. I wore an XS, and thought it for great (but if you're fuller around your hips you would maybe want to size up). The material was very light, and it's such a basic style that it's really easy to match shoes and jewelry with. I wore a red jacket over it the whole night and liked the look. Be warned- the V is DEEP! You'll definitely need fashion tape.

This bracelet is stunning; I would rent it again in a heartbeat. It looks exactly like in the picture. I have small wrists and so sometimes bracelets can be an issue, but this is a small enough bracelet that it stayed put the entire night.

Cute dress, bad fit
This was my free birthday dress, otherwise I probably would've tried to exchange it. I ordered a size 2 (the 0 wasn't available), and was absolutely swimming in it. Since I'm not curvy up top I had to tape the dress to my backless bra just to avoid a wardrobe malfunction. Even with that, there was still a large gap in the fabric under my arms. The dress was also way longer than expected; I'm 5'6 and was wearing 5 inch heals, and the dress was still almost down to my ankles. I don't know who this dress would fit well on, but it's definitely not me.

Comfy material, simple to dress up or down
If you have curvier hips, you might want to size up; I'm generally a size 0 but this one was a little tight in that area. This was my first time wearing a jumper and it honestly took me forever to figure out how to get into it. It also took a while to get out of, which was a little annoying but it's really a nice jumper. The material is comfy and airy, and it's really easy to dress up with jewelry and some nice heels.

Gorgeous color!
This dress was perfect for an outdoor wedding. The lace wasn't as sheer in person as it looked on the model, but that made it great for the occasion. It's a beautiful dark teal color, and what you can't really tell from the pictures is that the dress is teal but there's black thread woven throughout the dress, which makes it perfect to match with black heels/jewelry. This dress made me feel like such a princess!

Amazing fit, beautiful color.
I'm typically very happy with my RTR dresses, but this one has worked its way to the top of my list. First off, lets be clear about the color- this dress is dark purple. I know it looks dark red in pictures. It is not. It is a BEAUTIFUL dark purple, and looks great with black/metal/dark grey accessories. The fit of this dress is amazing! It hugs curves in all the right ways. With five-inch heels it hit me right above the knee, exactly like in the model picture. The lacy back of the dress is beautiful- you could probably get away with a black bra, but since I'm not too curvy up top I opted against one. One very tiny issue was with the neck- it's a snug fit, and so I had to leave it unzipped at the top. But my hair covered it so it wasn't an issue. I was turning heads the entire night, and my friends even suggested I buy the dress. I couldn't have asked for a better dress to celebrate my birthday!

Beautiful dress, underwhelming fit
Maybe I've just been spoiled with past RTR dresses, but this one didn't completely do it for me. The dress itself is lovely- the colors are bright and vibrant, exactly like in the model photo. But the fit was where things fell short for me. I'm a fairly petite person (with some hips and a derriere), but the way the bottom half of the dress flared made it look like I was trying to hide a bunch of extra weight. From the front it wasn't a big issue, but from the side or the back I felt that the dress made me look larger than I am. And this is coming from someone with zero self-confidence issues whatsoever. So it's a pretty dress, but in the future I think I'll stick to what I like best, more form-fitting dresses.

This dress is a knockout!
The 0 fit like a glove. I had two concerns for this dress- first, that the bust would be too loose, which wasn't the case. I went braless since the dress is essentially strapless, but it didn't fit too loose around the chest. I did use some fashion tape to keep the fabric from puckering under my arms. My second concern was the length- I wouldn't have wanted it to be any longer than it was, but with 5 inch heels I was overall happy with the length. But be careful- the dress fits snug around the legs, so stairs can be a bit of an issue. This dress is even more stunning in person; the crochet is beautiful. I felt SO confident and was getting compliments left and right. My favorite RTR dress yet!

This dress is perfect for a holiday party!
The V is deep! If you're not too curvy on top, size down. I wish I had ordered an extra-small because the V was so deep that even with a bunch of fashion tape I was still constantly checking to make sure nothing had slipped. That being said, the dress is gorgeous, and I got so many compliments. I'd suggest wearing it with tights because it's already pretty revealing on top, and so pairing it with semi-sheer black tights improved the look in my opinion.

Beautiful dress, good fit!
Loved the dress, like other commenters have said the top is actually a light blue/green, not white. The collar is pretty tight, especially when sitting down, so I left it slightly unzipped in the back for a more comfortable fit. I loved the way it fit for the most part but even in a size 0 it fit me a little loose around the waist, although it was fitted around the hips. But it's a beautiful dress and I'd wear it again!

This dress is formal without being boring or stuffy!
This dress will show off any 'flaws' on your body, so be prepared! It fits like a glove and is unforgiving. I had to keep pulling it up/down to make adjustments (mostly around my hips) for a nice fit. That being said, it's a lovely dress and a great shade of red.

The dress is really beautiful. It's elegant and fun at the same time!
I was between the 0 and 2, and the 0 fit almost a bit loose! So definitely size down. There's some netting underneath the bottom half of the dress which makes it flare out a little bit, but it's not quite as dramatic a flare as shown in the model picture.
