Not flattering at all
The thickness of the denim made this super bulky. It was fitted, despite me ordering a couple of sizes larger due to availability. I was excited about this, but it flopped pretty badly.

Highlights every lump
I am typically between a M and L. Rented the XL based on reviews, thought it'd be safe...roomy even. However, this runs pretty small, and shows every lump. The nature of the fabric and how it falls and the pleats outlined my belly area. Tried it with and without shapewear - the pic is with shapewear. The color is pretty and the material is so light and airy, but a no go for me.

Didn't wear, unreasonably small
I'm between an 8 and 10. I rented a Large in this to be safe but it was not flattering at all, ran way too small. I couldn't wear. Beautiful material and color however

Meh
It's cute in theory, and the colors are beautiful but it made me look way too boxy. Although flattering in the belly area because it's so flowy, it made me look too shapeless. I'd rent this again if I wanted to wear it in the way I'd wear sweats around the house. Fits like a true M. 5'6"/~152/36C

Fabulous top.
I'm usually between a 10 and a 12, and this fits like a 10. A little cinched at the waist, but flattering overall. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this shirt. I never want to return it, I wish it weren't so expensive. I have received a bazillion and one compliments on it. It is chic, different, commanding, and can be worn with many different types of pants. It is a blank canvas for awesome earrings and bright lipstick. Rent it.

Cute but way too small
I'm typically between a 10/12 and I rented a Large, and this dress had no give. The sleeves were restricting, but manageable, but how it make my midsection look was not flattering at all. Either have a virtually flat tummy or size a full size up.

The framing was gorgeous
The most flattering casual dress I've ever worn - I ended up buying it. Must wear with the appropriate bra (or not care if your straps show), but once that's dealt with, it's a very forgiving dress. It's a bit fitted around the chest, but loose around the tummy area, then fitted again towards the bottom, creating the most gorgeous silhouette and frame. I wore this exploring a city on vacation, and felt like a million bucks. It's an understated gorgeous piece.

The color!!
This was an absolutely stunning standout dress. While the dress fit in the 12 and wasn't tight, the material is thin, so it outlined my stomach area/belly button which I'm super picky about and avoid on all dresses. The 14 was huge at the top, but i draped it primarily in the back and held it with fashion tape. It looked beautiful, drapey, Grecian, and the color - just wow. I would absolutely rent this again.

Tied together a casual look really well
I wore this so many times - on dates, to work, to hang out, I didn't want to send it back. I got a ton of compliments. I may rent it again. It is a beautiful top, fitted in the chest area, but a bit loose around the tummy area, which was perfect for me. A medium would have been too small for how I like to wear clothes. The length was perfect. Love love love. Considering purchasing.

Beautiful color
Beautiful dress, beautiful color, falls really nicely on the body, meant to be loose. However, I don't think it's as flattering as people make it to be. I could have worn the medium, but because of the material, it highlighted the problem area of my stomach.

Photographs Well
I loved the style of it, though it does have a tendency to make your legs look stubby if you're not wearing it with heels. It was not at all flattering in the stomach area - it's not super tight, but outlined my belly. I went with the XL for this reason, and still spent a lot of my night hiding it. Otherwise, it's a gorgeous dress that photographs well.

GORG. Fits bigger; I'm in between 10 and 12, and the 10 was pretty spacious. It's super flattering. Would definitely rent again. I dressed it up with nude pumps and a white tshirt for a work event.

Average dress
This was a very average dress. The overall color didn't sit well with my skintone. The dress was billowy and made me look shapeless despite the belt. I returned it the day after I received it since I wanted something a little more special looking for my vacation. This would be a dress I'd wear to study at in a cafe.

Blast of Color
This is an adorable dress. I got a larger size because the reviews said it was so short, and it was. But I wore it with flats and a blazer and thus able to get away with it at work. It is extremely flattering, and the colors bring in your waist. I also rented the Coral Swirl Triple Row Necklace (truly a neon color), and I was just a blast of color. Paired with leopard print flats I felt like a Kate Spade store on wheels (haha). Overall, go for it. I wish I owned this dress, it'd be a staple in my closet.

Sexy and classy
I was worried how this would fit since many of the reviews were from smaller sized people, but I took the chance. I wore this at a movie premiere- it was sexy, stunning, and classy all wrapped up into a nicely fitted dress. The 10 would have fit, but I opted for a 12 with spanx for a super sleek fit. It's gorgeous. Compliments from everywhere. My only regret is not getting a picture. The slit wasn't bad, and the dress length hit me just at my knees. I paired with nude pumps. This is a dress I would buy, regardless of the price. I can't wait to rent again. It looked like a dress style goddess Amal Alamuddin would wear.

Beautiful color
This is a beautiful jumpsuit. It didn't fit me great. While it was fairly loose everywhere else, it was not flattering on my midsection area. It kinda made my belly standout a bit. Maybe I was just bloated while on vacation, but it was a fine line between have to hold it in and wanting to be comfortable. My bad for not bringing spanx, because I feel that would have done the trick - which is why I still maintain that it's a four star outfit.

Too boxy of a dress; pictures didn't come out great
I usually love shift dresses because they're flattering on me, but this one just didn't do the trick. It was way too boxy. I felt like I was wearing a potato sack. It was a backup dress for a fit that didn't fit me, so I had no choice but to wear it. A medium might have done it. Otherwise, it was a pretty dress with a pretty pattern.

Beautiful Dress
The material was thick, but my what a gorgeous dress!!!! It's definitely more red/blue than the picture, but it worked great. It was fitted enough to give some shape, and at the same time, sorta loose around the belly, hiding my problem area. It was shorter than I would normally wear, but was good for a vacation daytime dress with flats. I got so many compliments on it and felt like a million bucks. I will be renting this again.

Beautiful dress; Size Down
I will forever be grateful to RTR and their fabulous customer service for saving the event for me and going back and forth (via email as I was on a 7 hour flight!) until I found a dress that was available, after my initial ones fell through. To echo the other reviewers, the color is definitely more neon. It definitely stands out in a crowd, so if you're looking for a demure look, this wouldn't be the dress. I LOVED it, however. I ordered the Large Regular, to play it safe, as this dress was overnighted to me after my other dresses didn't fit. It was definitely huge on me, and I'm normally between a M and L in dresses. The dress length was great for heels. I'm 5'6" and wore 3 inch heels, and the dress barely grazed the ground. The slit is a bit high causing problems if you're wearing spanx (had to pull it up). But if you can get over that...size down, wear a great necklace, and work this dress like it's meant to be worked!

Beautiful Gown
It was such a gorgeous color and I absolutely wish i could have worn this dress for an outdoor wedding. It would have been perfect! Unfortunately, they didn't have the 10; the 8 was too small and the 12 was too big. The 8 wouldn't zip up, and the 12 was super baggy all around the chest area. It seems this dress would have been true to size. I hope to rent it again with my exact size

Beautiful - but didn't have my size!
Only picture I took that night, unfortunately! Uploaded to show that the dress completely looks black (as long as you aren't outside) and the peep hole isn't too bad :) It was a very beautiful dress. Very Mad Men-esque. I didn't find it too short (I'm 5'6" and wore it with 3 inch heels). I rented the 8 and the 12 because they were out of 10. The 8 fit and was a bit snug, though it made the middle gap section expand, making it look weird. I decided to size up to the 12, which I ended up wearing. I thought it look absolutely amazing, though since it was a big size, it expanded A LOT at the hips making me feel like a giant bubble walking around. I would rent again--but would probably go with a 10 if they had it. I paired it with nude pumps, dark eyeliner and red lips. The only suggestion I would have in renting this dress, is to make sure you get your exact size. Something too tight may stretch the bottom part more than it's supposed to, and something too big would make you look way hippier than you'd want to.

I didn't end up wearing the dress, but RTR was awesome and they credited me back the amount.
It ran really small, even though I rented a size larger. Didn't fit or look too great on me, figured that the dress is best suited for a leaner body type.
