Nice heavy weight!
I wore these to a couple of holiday parties and they were a great pair for more festive tops! I loved the heavyweight fabric and elasticized back. I squeezed into my smaller size, but would have preferred my normal size (for both comfort in the waist, and a bit more length), if my normal size had been available to rent.

Unflattering
I ordered a size up and found the buttons still pulled. In person, it’s very unflattering and looks like I’m busting at the seams! Didn’t end up wearing at all.

Cute, but bags out quickly
Super cutesy cardigan! I loved the bow detailing! I ordered up from my usual size, as I read reviews saying this was cropped (I'm short-waisted). Unfortunately, the M read as way too boxy on me--especially because this is pure cotton and bags out quickly anyway. I should have gone with my typical S.

Perfect, Low-Profile Balloon Jeans
These fit slightly smaller than other Madewell jeans on me--I went up one size from my typical Madewell size as they have zero stretch. I like the "low" profile balloon shape that these have; they're on trend without being overpowering. NOTE: They are definitely a faded black, not a pure black like in the pictures!

A Fun Twist!
This dress is so fun! I needed a dress for my husband's medical residency graduation being held at a country club--this was perfect. Conservative, classic, but the ruffles give it a fun twist! I loved the colors, too!

Phenomenal in Person
The photos of this dress do it no justice. It looks "blah" in photos but in person this is a HIT. So flattering, so comfortable. Like with all DVF pieces, you feel like a woman! Her pieces never fail.

Comically small waist.
I am very straight and narrow and could not even remotely get this close to buttoning. The waist is teeny-tiny! I think if I had even sized up, this wouldn't have worked--the waist is also very long, and I have a short waist. Cute idea, terrible execution.

Sizing is ALL OVER!
This is gorgeous but extremely difficult to estimate sizing on. I've rented this in the 6R (positively SWIMMING in it) and the 4R (barely zippable). I went with shapewear and the 4...and it was a hit!

Fun twist on a puffer!
Living in a super cold climate (Rochester, NY), I love switching up my puffer jackets every once in awhile. I loved the color and fun collared neck on this. Super warm and comfy! Loved it.

Fine, nothing special
This wears like a stretch-ier version of a J.Crew tissue turtleneck...Except it's not a full turtleneck. This has about a 1.5" "mock neck" style. I rented it hoping it would peek out from under a black cashmere turtleneck and it didn't work for that...and it looked a little awkward under a crew neck, too. It just hits at an odd point of the neck...Sleeves are nice and long, though!

Unique and fun!
I absolutely adore this top and have now rented it multiple times! The ruffle is super fun and I love it with the higher neck line. Great with a black or neutral cami underneath--and also fun without cami and a little bra peeking through!

Super itchy, sloppily oversized
I actually LOVE a slightly itchy sweater in the winter--there's something extra cozy about a wool sweater to me. This is decidedly *not* that. It is extra level itchy--like panic-attack inducing itchy. Could not wear for more than 15 minutes, even with a shirt underneath.

Ugliest cut, ever?
The sizing is normal, but these have to be the most unflattering jeans I have ever put on my body. The length is far too short--this is not a "cute" crop on someone who's 5'7"; they just looked like shrunken high waters. The waist is narrow and the hips are wide; don't work on a straight frame.

Functional Statement Puffer
This was the perfect rental for the doldrums of March/April in the Northeast, when you desperately want it to be spring, but it's still snowing and freezing! This is incredibly warm; in fact, it's warmer than any jacket I own (and I have a big coat wardrobe including Arcteryx and Patagonia!). The pattern is so cute and fun. Made walking the dog and running errands a lot more cheerful!

Unwearable
Far too short and the waist was far too tight. The jeans fit perfectly, but these are clearly made for shorter individuals and those with very defined waists. I'm straight/narrow, so there was no way to make these work. Felt like I was wearing a belt cinched 2 notches too tight.

Extremely ill fitting...Could have been cute!
I cannot figure out who could possibly wear this sweater! I am a very standard size 2/4, XS/S and rented this in Medium based on reviews. I could barely get it on! It's like someone took this sweater and popped it in the dryer...twice! The sleeves are simultaneously far too short and comically large/puffy. I have a very short waist, but this was far too cropped. And far too tight! I'm not sure I would have been able to breathe had I worn it!

Wore this for a rehearsal dinner. I found the dress to run TTS, but I'm straight through the hips/thighs. I can see if you were curvy, you'd want to size up. I loved the dress and found it very comfortable!

Runs super small, but adorable!
This runs very small--the fabric has absolutely no give or stretch to it and there is no zipper. I'm usually a 2 or 4, and ordered the Medium--I ended up wearing the Large. The Large fit beautifully, but the arms were still quite tight.

Gorgeous movement and neckline
I didn't end up wearing this, as it was sent to me as a back up dress, but I was really torn! This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The slight slit at the bottom combined with the ruffle and the fabric creates beautiful movement in the dress. I'm 5'7 and was wearing 3" heels and felt that the dress would have been a little too long to be comfortable in. Perfect with a strapless bra.

Loved this dress! This is a fabulous dress as is but the fabric is what really makes it , as it creates structure and great movement. I'm 5'7" and wore 3" heels and the regular length was perfection. I was also able to get away without wearing a bra and was still comfortable on the dance floor!

Flattering, comfortable, sweet dress!
I've been wanting to rent this dress for months and it definitely didn't disappoint. This is about my favorite color in the world and the fit is very flattering. Loved the open back, but I definitely needed a backless bra with it--the dress wasn't fitted enough for me to go bra-less.

Sophisticated with a Hint of Edge!
Absolutely phenomenal dress for a Fall fundraiser/gala. I just love the fit and cut of all Shoshanna dresses and this one did not disappoint! Im straight and narrow and went with the smaller size in this one. The color is stunning in person; it's a deep red merlot color with hints of black around the lace edges. Loved the "eyelash" lace trim at the bottom of the sleeves and skirt. It's also just a very comfortable dress--A total win-win in my book! I was confused if the dress was going to have multiple pieces, given the sheer cut out; however, I was pleasantly surprised this was all one piece, as there was no finagling extra buttons or zippers!

"Best. Rental. Ever." --My Husband
The title says it all! If your husband tells you this is your favorite rental ever (I've rented dozens!), you know it's good! This is a super fun dancing dress! Great for a formal backyard wedding. As other reviewers say, the neck straps are short and the bust runs a little small, but the arm holes are big. The gapping that combo creates is not obvious to others, though you do have to carefully select your undergarments. A seriously fun dress!

Classic Color and Materials with an Unexpected Twist
I wore this to a wine tasting in Oregon, so dressed it done with flats and a jean jacket-- a really fun combo that got me tons of compliments! This dress is a really gorgeous blush pink color and the fabric is phenomenal! The shorter dress liner adds a modern, funky, unexpected touch on an otherwise very sweet dress. The bust is definitely small. I'm a C-cup and had to size up on the dress to the 38 because of the bust alone; the waist on the 36 fit better, though!

Classic with a twist -- and comfortable!
Super comfortable, yet stunning dress! I wore this for a birthday dinner date with my husband. My husband LOVED this so much he even suggested I buy it! Fit Notes: I almost always find longsleeve dresses tight in the shoulders and arms, and this one was no different. I sized up from my usual 4 to a 6 to be comfortable through the shoulders and arms. Still found I had some restricted movement -- I wouldn't want to be doing a ton of arm lifting if I were to rent this again. However, it was perfect for a dinner date. Gorgeous mint green color. Loved the "flounce" in the skirt. Great length.

I wore this to a wedding on New Year's Day that called for "festive" attire. I could hardly bring myself to send this dress back. It's a gorgeous cut and the fabric is stunning. The fabric is a black lace with a subtle shimmer that is perfect for nighttime events. Bonus: This was a super fun dress to dance in!!

Absolutely gorgeous fabric and cut. I found the sizing to run large; I had to wear a belt and probably could have sized down. I run straight and narrow and the hips were cut too wide for me. The belt fixed it perfectly, though! Comments from men and women alike all night -- a perfect dress for a work holiday party!

Gorgeous Dress -- Photos don't do it justice!
This dress is beyond gorgeous. I never would have rented it, had I not seen it at the RTR NYC store; it's just so much more beautiful in person! The pattern is incredible close up and the fabric is a gorgeous heavy stretchy navy with a teeny-tiny hint of sheen. Just what it needs to make the pattern pop! This dress is flattering, can be worn with a normal bra, and has pockets -- Perfection! My only issue is that I would have never known what size to order had I not tried it on in the store. I'm a very typical size 4, but ordered this in an 8.
