Bought it!
Rented this one a while ago and waited for it to come back. Easy to dress up or down. A belt helps elevate this look.

Navy and white tweed, gold buttons- good to go!
New when received, can't speak to wearability long term. Cute cut. Thicker material and not for overly warm weather. Quality is fine, Does not read as high-end, but a cute everyday option that is versatile.

Great once on, zipper is a challenge
Great fit, but the side zipper was a challenge based on the thick knit and seams.

Nice fabric. Slightly Awkward fit
The fabric is a thick and beautiful color, though required a lot of framing on arrival and does not travel well. The fit on the upper half is great. No gaping at the chest. The lower half has some issues. The tie waist was too large and left awkward gapping as it is a hook and eye closure. I knotted it instead to pull in the waist. The shorter underskirt prevents a fashion emergency if it's windy, but was obvious especially when walking and made the dress less professional for the work related event

Flattering Ruffles for Black Tie Optional Event
Great dress and ruffles were not over the top. Similar to other Hervé bandage dresses the body has some stretch while snatching you in. However, the collar line is not stretchy and having a larger bust, it was hard to get zipped up. Length is not quite to the floor if you're tall, making it slightly less formal.

Boxy Dickey Makes You Look Like You're on the Run
This is a very casual blazer. I usually like Sandro sweaters, but the blazer was too casual. The hoodie is thick and the whole thing lacks structure

Runs big
I rented this previously in a size 4 and it was great. Gained a bit of weight and 4 wasn't available so thought the 6 might work. It was not flattering. Don't size up if you're in between. The shoulder pads also get bunched up and take some maneuvering to get them to sit right. Very deep V and the side cleavage is high. Ended up putting a sweater on top and wearing for a more casual holiday party fun look and not a gala.

Loose Waist and Hips- More Mother of the Bride than Glamour
Off the shoulder and slit give it a little comes, but otherwise this one was not very flattering. Too big in the waist and hips, but don't think I could have sized up for back/chest. If you're fuller in the middle this could conceal nicely, but if you're hour glass it loses your shape.

Warm, not flattering.
The neckline has an added interest but otherwise this dress was a miss for me. It accentuated hip dips and did not lay flat along the side seem near the knee area. It is a thick ribbed material for cold days, but was incompatible for what I wanted as an easy to pack dress for work engagements. A blazer helped a bit, but accentuated making it frumpier as well.

Odd fit, unwearable for me
This was one of the oddest fitting dresses I’ve seen at RTR. Was a full size+ too small. My hips looked huge and weird in it. Couldn’t get it zipped either. Hard pass on this one.

Busting at the Chest
This is not a dress for anyone likely over a C cup to comfortably button. I was unable to wear this dress. Sizing issues aside, it is soft and a pretty material. However, it does not look high quality and it’s is matronly.

Lots of Fabric, Does Not Overwhelm Tall Frames
Ended up wearing this twice. Can dress down with sneakers and up with heels. It is a bit tight in the chest if you are full chested. Wore once with a camisole with the top two buttons undone and another time buttoned higher and had to adjust to prevent gaping. It does require a good steam/iron and there is a lot of fabric in the skirt that could overwhelm petites.

Casual Linen with a Busy Print
Pros: long enough for my 5’9 frame. Received compliments and styled with two shirts for casual summer days. Lined Cons: lining was very wrinkled and required ironing to be wearable, particularly for the lining which otherwise was unwearable. More casual than it looks in the model’s picture. Not exactly flattering as you can see in the picture. This was after a day of sitting and they were wrinkled and a bit stretched.

Great for warm weather, with a few quirks
This is a cute vacation dress for very warm weather. It is unlined and a thin material. The downside to that is you can see if you perspire around the waist cinching. The back is open and some bras can be worn underneath if they are not longline. Quirks are the elastic on the lower back does not lay flat and the hanger ribbons are very long and tend to come out.

Tons of Compliments- Wrinkles easily
Random strangers stopped me to compliment this dress. Brought on a summer work trip. Downside, wrinkles easily and is a lot of fabric to iron. Everything else is a positive. Waist-snatched. Chest- covered. Length- great for work. Ended up pairing with tennis shoes, but can dress up with heels, sandals, or endless options. Loved this one!

Versatile for work or casual outing
Paired with jeans for a work related sports outing. The only complaint is the cream is a slightly off color that was hard to match. It does not go well with a white t-shirt as I originally planned to wear. Hits at the waist. Medium weight. Recommend for spring or as a layer for summer nights.

Versatile, a bit heavy
Wore this in a professional setting with trousers and with jeans. The color lends itself to warmer weather, but with lining the tweed is on the heavier side and is not ideal for the height of summer. Cropped at the waist with gold buttons

Sparkles
There are tiny clear sequins sewn randomly for an added sparkle. The length is flattering on someone tall and the chest provided coverage for fuller busts. Option to button higher on the top few buttons for a more conservative look. Fitted on the top with a flair from the waist. Gold toned buttons.

Amazing-balloon sleeves, snatched waist, versatile
Wore to my daughter's graduation. One of my favorite recent rentals. Fit a larger chest and tie waist shows hourglass figure. The balloon sleeves were the focus and may be preferred by someone on the taller side to not be overwhelmed. Conservative with a side of fun.

This was a nice option for a day of working from home. Not the most flattering. Slightly faded green. The button detailing is cute. Could pair with jeans or lean more into a professional look with trousers, skirt, or dress.

Floral, Flowy, and Lacy
Original ordered for my daughter's graduation, but was not right for me. She ended up wearing for graduation pictures and the flow of the dress was beautiful. The placement of the lace is not inappropriate, but the upper lace felt more appropriate and flattering on her. Beautiful colors, fit up to a D well.

Stylish travel ready sweater dress
More compliments on this than many of the “finer” work rentals. Wore for travel and errands. Had folks in the grocery store and airport stop me. The medium was loose fitting in the body, with fitted (not tight) sleeves. Zipper is silver with a nice decorative detailing. It felt like a stylish blanket. If it wasn’t so memorable with the bright colors and pattern, I would have bought it.

Cute for a casual work day
Wore for a workshop with a cropped blazer and bodysuit. Comfortable despite being the tiniest bit itchy. Not bad enough to not wear, just may not be good for long periods seated. Fit was true to size. Good length for tall folks.

Wide neckline, interesting sleeves
This was a solid sweater. It is the tiniest bit itchy if your skin is sensitive, but not bad. The neckline is wide and I wore once with a shirt under and once without. The wrists are the most interesting part of the sweater. The sleeves have internal stitching to give a slightly bunched look. I t is a little odd, but not very noticeable

Warm and soft
This wasn't a particularly flattering sweater given the thickness and boxy fit, but it is great if you need to run errands with a cute comfy look that is more interesting than a sweatshirt. Sparkly buttons add a little flare but could look slightly tacky to some, especially outside of the holidays

Sparkly Librarian, yet Meh
There is more sparkle to the knit making it holiday appropriate. It is slightly itchy and better to wear over a sleeved top. Boxy cut wasn't particularly flattering. Given the conservative style it looked less on trend and was just ok. Good for zoom calls.

Believe the other reviews-straps are Too Long!
Wore this to a Navy gala, and got for the colors. The pros are related to the fabric, making it unique and good for winter. The cons are longer—it breaks the cardinal rule of cleavage OR legs—it has a high slit (especially when seated) and due to the overly long straps shows a lot of cleavage. The waist was wide on me, making it unflattering for my figure as well. It was uncomfortable to wear and one of my least favorite formal rentals. Pass on this one...

I was not a fan of this sweater. The knit wasn't great and the shoulder pads were oddly crumpled together and hard to get to lay properly. Design would have been better without the padding. Could not close across the top without gaping

I ended up having two events in different cities back-to-back and was able to wear this for both. It packed well with a small amount of steaming needed. It stayed up well, though as with any strapless I was pulling it up a bit. It is unique and men and women complimented it.

Wore with the matching trousers for a clean, classic look. Slightly boxy fit. Arms were a good length for my tall frame. Not going to get a ton of compliments, because it is just a clean, somewhat basic, but easy to wear suiting piece
