Wide hips beware
I wanted to love this dress for a fall wedding. But WHY did La Double J need to sew pockets right where your hips land on this dress? I felt like the dress made me look wider than I need to be.

Great silk slip dress
Love this dress! It looks black but actually navy. I’m a size 6 / 138ish / 5’7 and I ordered a size 8. It’s a little loose in the back and hips so I’m going to order a size 6 when it comes available.

Too short if you're tall
I love the brand LSF but I continue to be baffled over their measuring of clothes. I know the founder is petite & so maybe LSF is only meant for women that are 5'5 and shorter? This is my 2nd or 3rd sweater by the brand that is crop top for my 5'8 frame. I'd say if you're on the taller size - steer clear of this sweater.

Wide hips beware
Wanted to like this dress (loved the color and square neckline) but felt like it made my hips look wider than they already are!

Thin material.
Pictures can be deceiving! I thought this would be a thick sweater coat material - at least that's what the photo looks like! Well, it's very thin in person. Also, size up!

Favorite jeans!
Love the color, style, super comfortable. I'm typically a 28 and these are true to size or big. I returned the 29 and got the 28 - fit much better! I'm now debating to buy because these are perfect everyday jeans!

Can't get enough of this dress!
I never thought I'd love black in the summer but I can't get enough of this off the shoulder dress. True to size.

Comfy jumpsuit flattering on all sizes
Liked this jumpsuit except that it made my butt look flat (lots of fabric) and unflattering! Sizing is accurate however if you're in between sizes then size down.

Coverup instead of dress
Unless you can go without wearing a bra, I think this dress is better as a swim coverup.

Solid flattering work dress
I rented this for a work related event (that's now cancelled due to Covid) so I didn't end up wearing. Definitely flattering for different body shapes. I'd say it's true to size or size up one size. The colors kind of blah for me but again super flattering so I'd rent again for an event or work.

Has a lot of potential
I love Brock Collection but the sizing is different in every single garment I rent! This one gets mixed reviews but I love the neckline & fabric so I rented anyways. I'm a true size 6 but rented an 8 because their clothes seem to run small. Well, this dress has a lot of fabric and runs big and I hate how the pockets sit at the widest part of hips. Yet, I'm still intrigued & it has a lot of potential so I'm going to rent the 4 or 6 next time to see if it's more flattering.

Flattering, Comfortable Summer Dress!
This dress is perfect & one I'm going to regret not buying! Gorgeous, comfortable, flattering - absolutely perfect for spring/summer! I loved dressing this up with heels and dressing it down with flat sandals and a cropped sweater.

Flattering wrap dress!!
Loved this dress for a dinner party. Could also be perfect for work. Covered chest area and the wrap makes it super flattering at waist. Will be renting again for sure!

Way too short if you're tall
I was really excited about this sweater. I loved the look on other RTR members and loved the sleeve style. However, upon trying on the LARGEST size, I couldn't believe how short it was... would look good on anyone 5'6 or shorter. Unfortunately not meant for tall people.

Too short
I loved the style and fabric of this dress but was much too short for me (I'm 5'7-5'8 depending on the day ;) ) and I just felt like this needed to be closer to my knee to wear to work or country club.

Perfect warm weather dress!
I rented this for dinners out with friends on a warm weather holiday. So many compliments!! Fabric and detailing are high quality. My favorite part were the ties on the sides of the waist so you can loosen or tighten as you please!

Wide hips beware!
As a woman with an hourglass figure- I love a good wrap dress. I read the reviews on this but I didn't want to believe them. Unfortunately, everyone else was right. They are made with pockets and those pockets hit right at the widest point of your hips- making you much wider than you are! Didn't end up wearing.'

Didn't end up wearing...
So I liked this dress- top half was super flattering & loved the colors. The bottom was a lot of fabric- made my hips look wide. I'm wondering if I sized down maybe I would have worn.

Such a flattering dress!! Loved the buttons down the front. I was on the fence about renting this as I usually stick to more neutral colors but kept it once I tried it on & saw how flattering it is! True to size. Will be renting again

Pretty summer dress!
Wore this dress to a cocktail party- perfect length & loved the sleeves as it got chillier as the night wore on. The top felt a little bit (I'm a B cup) so I probably could have fit into a 6 but my hips are wide so..... the 8 worked out well.

Pretty going out top but short
If you're tall or have a long torso this top may be more of a crop top for you. Very comfortable and love the "not quite" off-the-shoulder style.

Rented this for summer parties. Very flattering & comfortable boho dress. If you're newly pregnant - this would be a great dress to wear with tiny bump!

Pregnant at Black Tie Wedding
This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding while 22 weeks pregnant. For reference, prior to being pregnant I was a size 4/130lbs. I ordered two sizes up because I've gained about 12lbs so far. I'd say the fit was really good until the end of the night post 2 slices of cake - at which point the stomach area felt tight! You can't tell from the photo but the back of the dress had a beautiful train that fell right to the floor (I'm 5'7 and had 2.5 inch heels on). In the past, I've ordered RTR dresses that are falling apart (zippers broken, hem coming lose), however this dress was in excellent shape!
