Too Small
I am a 6/8 and the large was too small (barely and only up top) - though the issue may also have been that the zipper was sticking. Would have been cute.

Margherita Dress
La DoubleJ
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34DDD/E
Gorgeous, but....
I got the medium, knowing I needed the small. The color was amazing and I received lots of compliments. However, the hanging loops kept popping out (an issue that might have been better with the smaller size) and it seems it should have come with a slip as it was quite see-thru.

Wow this is short
Cute style, eh fabric, but it was incredibly short. I'd say people over 5'4" might want to size up or consider another option
Bookish Dress

Very flattering. Maybe runs a bit small up top.
Tighter up top but still flattering

Cute but see through
I find it difficult to believe this dress doesn't have a coordinating slip as it is entirely see-through. You'll need one - no question. On me it was also quite short but very cute all the same. You have to fuss with the drawstring to cinch the waist but very cute overall.
Casimir Dot Dress

Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Sooo flattering!
I said runs small but I find that normal for this brand. I'm a 4 and wore a medium which fit like a glove. It's very flattering and was appropriate for work but I think could work for after hours also.
Ruffle Faux Wrap Dress

Cuter than the picture
Very flattering and comfortable!
Red and Blue Knit Dress

Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs

Cute & different
Lots of compliments. Little tight in the bust and the low keyhole cutout can be daunting - the bow does cover it but I found myself constantly checking.
Airy Grey City Dress
See by Chloé
Size Worn: 36
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
So perfect I had to buy it
When I walked into the office and heard "Hello Audrey Hepburn" it was all over. Versatile, classic but not boring, and easy to wear. Doesn't get much better.

Fun Cupcake Dress
Tons of compliments. I probably should have gone with the 4 but I'm a little too heavy so I went with the 6, which was a bit loose in the waist. Just cute and fun for most any occasion.
Blush Ric Rac Dress
Sail to Sable
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Easy to wear and pretty
Not too low in the front or back, which I appreciate. It was fun to wear and different but conservative enough for my casual office.
Navy Porcelain Patchwork Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Unique and comfy
A tad short, and I had to pin the neckline, but so cute. Doesn't do a lot for your figure but still lots of compliments.
Floral Dot Printed Dress

Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Adorable Perfection
Fit was perfect. I wore flats bout could have done an inch or so heel. The fit was flattering and the compliments rolled in. Great fun.
Orange Marisa Jumpsuit
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Cute and fun
I said runs small but that really that is a comment on the torso length - another inch would have been great. Still wore well and a fun outfit.
Floral Stripe Mash Up Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
So flattering!
Perhaps just a little small in the bust as the arm-holes had a minor gap but it was unnoticeable. So figure flattering. A tad longer than I expected- might not hit well on a shorter stature.
Bright Stripe Trumpet Skirt Dress
BOUTIQUE MOSCHINO
Size Worn: 40R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Easy chic
I think the overall cut is large but with the tie it seemed true to size. Size down if you're unsure. It was comfy and flattering. The color is rich and the fabric fairly thick. For the cold weather I paired with tights and booties but it is versatile enough for pumps or even tall boots.

Adorable!
Loved this dress. A little tight in the top if you are larger busted. Tons of compliments. Definitely would try again.
Red Circular Lace Dress

Flattering!
Very flattering. The seam on the side seemed to have an odd bit that I think was supposed to add more flare but almost seemed like a flaw but wasn't so much as to detract from the overall look.
Multi Stripe Knit Dress

Cute, but....
Cute dress, but quite short and in some light, a bit see thru.
Kaleidoscope Print Dress
Rebecca Minkoff
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Fun dress!
A little short but flattering and fun. The fabric is thick and thins out all the right places. Would rent again.

So cute!
Easy to wear, comfy. This particular one seemed like it had been dry cleaned quite a lot but still fit. Flattering fit and lots of compliments.

So cute - didn't realize the back was open so couldn't wear to work
I generally rent for my office wear to keep things fresh. This has a really cute strappy back, which would have been great for brunch but of course not for work. I tried it on and loved it. Just didn't have a reason to wear it.
Blue Offshore Dress

Flattering but small
Very flattering but runs very small across the shoulders. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and the six was tight across the back, though still wearable. One thing to note is that the back of the dress is entirely sheer, so I had to wear a Cani under. Worth a go for everyday or a casual event.
Black Brighton Dress

Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 34D
Cute but not a home run
I find Tibi often runs s bit small so when one size up was available I figured it would be fine. It wasn't awful by any means but for Tibi I would say this runs large. The back wasn't nearly as flattering as the front but still cute and lots of compliments. The fabric is VERY thick - I'm not sure it would be comfortable on a hot summer day even though it is sleeveless. I actually could see this dress with some grey suede boots or booties. Worth a try - order your regular size .

Compliments Galore
So cute! Well made, great color. Just fantastic. I sized up as DFV often runs a little small but I think my regular size would have been fine- though possibly too short. Will rent again.
Hot Pink Carrie Dress

Completely bad a**! Bought it.
Professional with lots of edge. Could work for lots of occasions. I said true to size as it was a tiny bit big in the waist but just right at the bust for me, so probably most people could probably go true to size. Probably isn't the right material for summer but great for all other seasons. I loved it so much I bought it, which is rare for me on RTR - I usually figure why buy when there is do much more to rent!

Fun not not 100%
This dress was a lot of fun. For me, I felt the the hem wasn't as asymmetrical as pictured but that could just be me. The one drawback that really kept it from 5 stars was that it did this odd poof in the tummy area that wasn't terribly flattering. It wasn't a deal breaker but just seemed a little odd. I may be too long waisted for the style.

Had to buy it
The pictures really don't do justice to the details that make this dress so much fun. Endless compliments all day. I said true to size but wore (and bought ) one size up for a little more room in the bust. This is one of those super versatile pieces that could work for lots of occasions depending on how it is styled. Was so glad I had the opportunity to buy it - and I jumped at it.

Almost Perfect but not quite
So I think it is possible that going to a six could have made this dress a real stunner. I found it to be a bit tight in the chest and perhaps a little short in the torso. It still looked cute and got lots of compliments, but the fit wasn't 100%. The pockets also seemed to add bulk to my hips. Some people have mentioned the grey on the top, but I didn't take any issue with that. I could see trying this again just one size up.

Adorable. Considering a buy.
So I said runs small but that really is just a comment on the length. Usually I'm a 4 but the six was the only size available. I'm glad as even the six was really quite short. I might even go for the 8 just to see if I could get a little more length since I think the way the dress is cut you could make a lot of sizes work. It's cute as can be and really can look different just by changing up shoes and accessories.

Cute on - picture is a little lacking
What I didn't see in the picture is that the dress isn't just black & white - it has some light blue in it. Honestly, when I saw it on the hanger I thought it was awful, but when I tried it on it was really flattering. The fabric is thick and stretchy and seems to smooth away imperfections. Easy, cute, and comfy!
