Not Quite Right
I ended up not wearing this dress. It was sooo wrinkly and the tie at the shoulder was just not doing it for me.

Super Long
As others noted, the dress is super long. Even with heels I would have struggled not to trip. I ended up wearing it on a work from home day just to try it out!

Cute But Weird Pockets
As another reviewer said, this dress would be so much better without the pockets. They sit at SUCH a weird angle and really don’t add much. I feel like things would fall out of the pockets anyways since the dress is pretty swingy. It’s too bad! I may try a medium next time as maybe a less boxy cut could make it better? The dress is well structured and nice, maybe you won’t be bothered as much!

Cute and Casual
I loved the playful cherry print and the dress is lined. Some of the buttons are sewed shut until about halfway up the bust which is actually great for me, but you can still unbutton a few if you want.

A Little Short But Worked With Tights
I wore this to work on a cold day and put tights on underneath for modesty as well. It was just a touch too short for me at work paired with heels (I am 5'6"). You could easily dress this up for day to night. Pretty good dress and I got lots of compliments.

Nice Dress, But Weird Fit with Zipper
The zipper worked great but laid odd against my side and sort of poked out. When I tried to adjust the dress in the front, it would look weird or be off-center. Maybe it's just me!

Great Faux Wrap Dress
As someone with a larger chest I steer away from traditional wrap dresses as I always need to wear a cami underneath. This wrap dress buttons from the waist up and fit nicely. The material is great, and the dress I received still had tags and I love when that happens, I wore the dress to work and it was fine, but I do feel like it might approach the shorter side if you are taller than me at 5'6.

Quality But Heavy Knit
I wish this dress hit above the knees, because there is a lot of heavy fabric and I felt like it weighed be down. The dress is high quality but ultimately the heaviness made me feel shapeless. It was fine for a no frills work day but I wouldn't rent agian.

The dress was draped beautifully and there wasn't any gapping with the buttons and faux buttons. I wore a camisole underneath for extra coverage but would not be necessary on everyone. It fit true to size for this brand.

Runs Large But Still Fun!
I rented this jumpsuit for either a fun weekend outfit or possibly to wear to work. I wasn't comfortable wearing this to the office since it's a little low cut even with a cami. Someone else with a less conservative office may be able to wear this to work though. It's a cute jumpsuit but I could have worn a size 8, and I am almost always a 10. Accommodating for large bust sizes but you would definitely need something underneath.

Way too long.
These pants would be great aside from the fact that you need to be six feet tall to wear them. I am 5'6" and like others, the pants were too long with my tallest heels. I wanted to wear these pants with some low/flat sandals for a chill look...not possible. Also, the fabric wrinkles very easily.

Fun spring/summer dress, but be wary of the slit!
I rented this dress to wear during a casual day at the office. It was very cute, though did run a little small and the zipper gave me trouble. The slit goes VERY high when you are seated, and walking with a breeze is also not advised. If I rent this again, I would attempt fashion tape to make the slit a little more modest. Still, I got many compliments and would recommend the dress for casual summer events. Just be prepared to fiddle with the wrap section to make the slip work for you!

Fun and Different Black Sheath
I rented this for work using my unlimited subscription. I had my eye on it for months but it was never exciting enough to rent. No more! This dress is such a fun twist on a boring black work dress. The knit middle section had some stretch so you have room to breathe. It's a great dress and I will be renting again!

Totally fun for a ski weekend
I rented this jacket to wear on a weekend ski trip. I don't ski, so I was going for a cute snow bunny look. This is a sort of furry wool bomber coat with a detachable ridiculously fun black and white fur collar. The inside of the coat was satin with a Jim Morrison quote (go figure). This definitely kept me warm when I was in the lodge, and was really fun to wear for the weekend.

This top is awesome
I wore this to a party at a ski resort, and it was a hit! I have a large chest but the top didn't gap at all at the buttons, which is a serious risk with button up tops. I would highly recommend this top and will be renting again.

Fantastic and fun dress!
I rented the 10 and 12 R, and ended up wearing the 12 as the 10 was way to snug in the chest. I would recommend sizing up for large chested gals. The illusion details was gorgeous, and the dress was fun and swingy all night. The only problem is that the tulle underneath the dress was a little unraveled, and hung down unevenly on one side. I was able to pin it up with several safety pins. This wasn't a huge issue and most likely due to the dress being worn so many times. This is a fun dress and you will get so many compliments!

Cute dress, but a little big
This dress is a gorgeous forest green, with fun flutter bell sleeves that are whimsical yet not overwhelming in a professional environment. The dress runs a little large, I normally float between and 10 and 12 and this 10 is large on me. However, the dress is VERY short, I am only wearing this to my office because I have tights, OTK boots and I do not have many meetings today. I am only 5'6" so I am shocked by how short this runs. Heels would be a deal breaker unless you are very petite, or wearing to a party! It also seems to wrinkle easily, but not more so than most work dresses.

Cute dress!
This isn't the best picture, but this is the best dress! I am a sucker for all things plaid, and this is a great maroon, blue, and black plaid dress. The elastic ribbing on the sides keeps it from being constricting, but still fairly form fitting. The back hem detail is super cute. It's a great work dress that could be dressed up with a blazer! Will be renting this one again.

Great color
This is a really lovely dress in a great shade of orange. However, I am normally a large due to my apple shape but this dress was huge on me. Thankfully the tie belt gave me some shape, but i think I will size down next time. Like other renters, I paired with black tights as it is cold outside. The dress is more rust than true orange so it avoids the pumpkin/Halloween vibe in my opinion.

Great day to night top
I am very into peplum tops right now, and this one was a great pick. The top is a textured, almost pebbles mix of black and white, but with more white than black. It would look gray from far away. It is very stretchy and fits great, not too big as other items from Theory have been for me in the past. It was also delivered new with tags! I love when that happens!

Interesting Work Dress
This dress has a lovely gradient on the knit, hence the ombré. The edges of every piece of fabric are a rough cut, which I grew to like as it made the dress more casual. If I rent again I will size down to the 10 as it was a little baggy through my hips, though I have narrow hips. If you are an hourglass it should be true to size.

Just a little too low cut
It's a nice fabric, not lined, but not sheer at all. I paired it with tights for the winter. Unfortunately, it was just an inch or two low cut for me to really feel comfortable in it at the office. I should have worn a cami underneath. Overall fits well and it would be a go-to for me if it just closed a little higher up on my chest!

Fun Dress!
This is the cutest maxi dress I have worn in awhile! The skirt is very flirty with two slits that up mid thigh; but I never felt like I was in danger of flashy anyone! The length was fine, it would have been perfect had I worn it with heels. While I am well endowed in the chest, this was still quite roomy so you might order a size down for back up. I received a ton of compliments, and will definitely think about renting this dress again!

For Tall Gals Only
This dress looked very interesting on the model, so I rented it using my Unlimited subscription in an attempt to shake up my usual pencil/sheath dress uniform. I like the flowing pleats for spring. It's a beautiful dress and made of quality fabrics, but it appears to run a little large. I am generally a 10 in dresses because of my bust size, but this has room to give. I would size down if you are below a C cup, as there is room to spare in the waist and top. However, my biggest issue is the length. I am 5'6", and this dress came well below my calves, even in heels! I don't consider myself particularly petite by any strength, so the overly long dress was a huge surprise. In the pictures the dress appears to hit at the knee. Even though I am not a six foot tall runway model, the length difference was truly extreme. Beware that this could end up at the midi length if you are below 5'10". And for someone who likes to show off her legs, this isn't a good look!

Fun without being over the top!
I rented this dress for my friend's engagement party. It was a great dress for the occasion as it wasn't too overly former, but the leather made it for fun than just a plain black dress. The fit was good (I'm normally a size 10) and even with my larger chest, fit wasn't an issue. The zipper sticks in the back, but that is because of the stiffness of the leather. I needed to employ my husband to get it over the seams! I don't think anyone could zip up the dress without a friend. Great dress if you want something different from your usual LBD!

Felt like Joan Harris in this dress!
This is a great fitting little navy dress. The flirty little ruffle at the bottom keeps it from being anything but basic. I'm kind of built like Joan Harris anyways, but this definitely helped me channel my inner Joan at the office! The sleeves and neckline keep it professional and modest. I'll be holding on to this dress for another wear!

Very stylish blazer, wore it to work.
This blanket jacket feels very luxurious. The leather trim is soft and feels great. I do agree with other reviewers that it was a bit itchy, but not enough to bother me. I might be inclined to rent again, but I had a hard time styling it as I don't love jackets/blazers.

This dress was fancy without being too LOOK AT ME!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress! The draped top was perfect for my body type (full bust) and it hit my waist at its smallest part, which I really appreciate. The tiny cut out in the back was actually just super fun, and I was even still able to wear some shape wear so I felt pulled together. I got compliments all night. I ordered the 10 and the 12, both in R. The 10 fit fine, but the little part of the front of the dress that kept the V from becoming vulgar had broken off, so I went with the 12. It was a work event, so I wanted to keep it mildly tasteful! I wanted to wear my 4 inch sparkle shoes, but that made the dress a bit too awkwardly short, so I went with lower heels and the dress was fine. If you are 5'6" or above and want to wear super high heels, you might try the L. Awesome dress!

This is a very comfortable work dress, that could double for after work cocktails.
I really loved the color and pattern of this dress. The black pattern is slightly shiny, which gives the dress a little bit of oomph. I could easily wear this to work and then out for a nice dinner or drinks by adding some fun accessories. My only critique is the cap sleeves. When my arms were at my sides they look cute, but if I was gesturing or had my hands on my hips, you could sort of see into my armpits? It's really hard to describe and I wish I would have taken a picture. Its not a deal breaker, but just sort of odd and I might hesitate before renting this again.

Nice dress, but nothing too amazing.
I wore this dress to work as part of my unlimited subscription. It is very work appropriate and fits true to size, though I wore some trusty Spanx underneath to smooth everything out as it is a thin dress. I would rent this again.

This fabric of this dress just feels expensive, and it's a beautiful print.
I really liked the cut of this dress, and I added a belt to emphasize my waist. I am normally a large in structured dresses, but this one has a little stretch so I tried the medium which worked well. I ended up wearing this twice before I returned it! Nice little winter work dress, and it works well with tights.

It was fun to get this too as it still had tags, which was a first for me.
This top was made of a beautiful, flowy but still structured material. Normally I wear a large in tops to accommodate my large bust and broad shoulders. However this runs large and the middle section of the peplum tends to float away from the body, giving an odd shape. I normally look for peplums to give me that nipped in at the waist look, but this didn't quite make it. Since I have unlimited I might try it again in a smaller size,

Found my RTR twin at the Britney concert in Vegas!
I'm the one on the left. This dress runs a little big, so the Medium worked out just fine! It was even a little loose, which was nice with all of the running around and dancing I did that night. It is very, very short, which was fine for me but might make it a little more revealing for some. Overall, a really fun dress! I definitely felt like a disco ball in a good way!

This dress was great for quiet night on the town in Vegas.
This dress was great! The sequins were not too flashy. It felt a little like business sequins, because the cut of the dress was similar to the sheath dresses I wear to the office. I was able to wear a normal bra, which is great for those with a larger bust. This isn't a dress that makes a huge splash, but is still fun.
