Cute and Comfortable. Not flattering.
This is the best dress for a super hot day. Breezy and airy. Pretty pattern. But because it’s so baggy, it makes you appear much larger than you actually are.

Unflattering
While I really like some of the details, especially the pleats at the waist, these pants are so unflattering. Look like I’m heading to a construction site.

Way too short
I’m only 5’4, but this dress didn’t even reach the bottom of my butt cheeks. I have no problem with minis, but couldn’t make this one work. Wondering if this particular dress had shrunk. The proportions were off - very short but very wide - which made it incredibly unflattering

Stylish work outfit
LOVE! The details on the sleeve and the tie make this dress feel so stylish. Perfect for work to dinner (in fact, I plan on wearing it to a dinner party this weekend). I'm only 5'4", but I think it would be too short without tights. I'm wearing it today with black tights and pointy-toe booties, but will likely wear with tan heels this weekend. While it's not a tight style, this dress could be a bit snug in the chest or hips.

Perfectly casual yet put together
Love this blouse! The color is that perfect blush - a tiny bit of color without appearing too pink. The cutouts on the sleeves add a pop of style to an otherwise classic look. Very loose, peasant style; don't expect this blouse to be fitted or something you'd wear tucked in. Looks great with black jeans and sneakers or flats. Could also envision pumps.

One piece = stylish outfit
Even without a belt, this vest is just so chic. I wore it over black jeans and a button down and paired with some fun loafers. Can't get over how great the whole ensemble looked. The vest made an otherwise boring outfit look super cool.

Just looks cheap. Way too much material that has a mumu-feel but looks like a baby doll style that is too short. Two thumbs down.

"THAT is the dress I need in my closet"
As one of my friends exclaimed when she saw me in this dress at a black tie wedding, "that is the dress that would work for any black tie event!" I recently wore it to a 12 hour (!) wedding, and felt comfortable and glamorous the entire afternoon and into the late evening. The fitted waist is flattering, and the cut of the shoulders really accentuates arms. The ruffled cut out gives this little black dress the oomph it needs, without being too low cut. Highly recommend!

Great for every day
This dress is great - super easy and comfortable while still looking fashionable. I wore it with flat sandals while out and about / running errands and got lots of compliments. To switch it up, I tried layering it with a 3/4 sleeve pink/white striped tee underneath at work and got more compliments. As for size, I find that Bailey 44 can run a bit small. I ordered the S instead of the XS, and while it was a little big, the drawstrings made it so I could easily cinch the waist.

LOVE. THE perfect LBD
If you're looking for an LBD that doesn't make you feel like you're merely blending in with the crowd, this Rebecca Taylor number is THE dress for you. I felt so classy, feminine, and flirty all at the same time. The shoulder cut outs and slightly ruffled sleeves really make the dress. Rebecca Taylor dresses typically run very big on me, but this one fit just right and was even a tad bit snug in the hips. If I had more occcasions to wear a cocktail dress, I would've purchased it on the spot.

Love the design!
This dress is great for work to play. While the cut may say office, the little red match pattern is just so fun. The fit is a bit off (tight in chest and hips but very boxy in the waist), but not enough so to stop me from wearing it before sending it back to RTR.

So pretty. So versatile.
I rented this "jacket" thinking it would fit like a blazer, but it was so stretchy and form-fitting that it really felt more like a long-sleeve shirt. It's great for summer when you want to be sleeveless outside but covered up inside when the A/C is blasting. It looked fabulous with both a white shift dress and ripped jeans and a v-neck tee.

Would rent again ... in a smaller size
While this dress is way too big on me, I've still received quite a few compliments today both walking around town and at the office. It's super comfy and airy - perfect for those warm summer days despite the elbow-length sleeves. I paired it with leather booties, but I think it would also look great with sandals or even cute sneaks. Beware that it does wrinkle like crazy.

Napa birthday celebration perfection
I wore this dress to a special lunch in Napa in honor of my mom's 60th birthday and it was perfect. Classy enough for a fancy restaurant with my family, but cute enough to look great in pictures and breezy enough to stroll around (with a shawl) after lunch. Very flattering cut and comfortable to boot. Highly recommend.

So perfect!
Hope you're okay with compliments! This dress is super cute, and the collar makes it very much on trend with the season. It was perfect for me to wear to work with cork wedges (although if I were any taller, it would probably be too short) and I felt pretty and feminine all day. Could easily be a date night dress, too, especially in the spring. Can picture it with wedges, pumps, or even strappy sandals.

So many compliments! AND pockets!
It's only 10:30AM, but I've already received more compliments on this dress than I have fingers. The color is great. The fit is very feminine - fitted in waist and shoulders, but loose and airy through hips. Because it is rather loose in hips and on the long side, I highly recommend pairing with nude pumps or wedges. My only complaint is that it wrinkles like crazy. It's still morning, and already I look like I've been wearing it for a few days straight.

Casual cute
When I first saw this dress on the RTR website, I worried that the denim skirt / braided belt combo would be a bit too 90s soccer mom, but it ended up being an MVP on my last vacation. Like the RTR model, I paired it with a white tee, but also added a bright silk scarf and wore it with a pair of white sneaks. It really was the perfect outfit for traveling - comfortable enough for the plane, but stylish enough that I could wear it around the resort as soon as we arrived. As for size ... I'm normally a 25 in jeans, but usually size down for skirts so I ordered this skirt in a 24 and it fit just right.

Cute dress. Unfortunate snap plaeement.
This dress is the perfect "dinner on vacation" dress - pretty color, floral pattern, flirty cut - with one major flaw. The dress is held together by a single snap, placed right in the middle of your chest. If you have a tendency to use big arm gestures when you're talking about something exciting (like me) or you happen to have a larger chest (also like me), I'd recommend reconsidering unless you're hoping for a wardrobe malfunction. I was sitting on our hotel balcony chatting with my husband when - POOF! - the dress completely popped open and he could see everything that would have been covered by a bra, had I been wearing one (which you can't with this dress). Hoping it was just a fluke, I re-snapped, but a few minutes later the same thing happened.

Classic DVF
Just like all DVF wrap dresses, this dress is perfect for work, meetings, or dressy lunches. You'll look classy while still showing off your curves. Like other DVF wraps, it runs small - especially in the shoulders and bust. Plan on wearing a tank or tee underneath - the V goes quite low and there's no guarantee that the sides won't drape / will stay together. I rented this dress for a baby shower (a boy!), but unless you were up close, it looked more black than navy.

So fun (and soft)!
Love this vest! It's the perfect way to jazz up an otherwise classic or conservative outfit. I found it to look great with a white button down, skinny jeans, and chocolate-colored bag. I wore it three days in a row - out to dinner, out to drinks, and to work (with everything from Jimmy Choos to New Balances) - and got non-stop eompliments each time. I was concerned when it arrived and I saw that it was a Medium - I am an XS 90% of the time - but the M really did fit more like a one-size fits all. Depending on the top you're wearing, it looks good both open and clasped. Beware if you wear it to work, though - it's super soft and *may* make you want to curl up and take a nap in it :-)

Prettier in person! But SO long!
How could you not love a beautiful dress that makes your legs look longer and your waist smaller?!? I thought it was a pretty pattern when looking at the pictures on the RTR website, but the material and pattern is much prettier in person. Sadly, this dress is just way too long. I'm 5'4" and even with 4" wedges, it covered my entire shoe and dragged along the floor. I loved the dress so much, though, that I decided to purchase it through RTR Unlimited so that I could hem it to the right length.

Beautiful material and pattern!
This romper was *almost* perfect. The material is incredibly high-quality and the print is beautiful. It is also very flattering on the legs / butt - and you can never go wrong with that! Unfortunately, the proportions were just not quite right, as the material around the stomach bunched just enough on me to make it look like I had a bit of a belly. Such a bummer because it's an otherwise beautiful romper.

No jewelry required!
This dress was perfect for a formal ball at the ballet. I'm always a fan of the anti-black black tie dress, and this dress certainly fit the bill. The blush color is universally flattering, and the neckline adds some jazz to an otherwise simple dress. Received compliments all night! While the dress does run true to size, if you're between sizes, I'd recommend going one size up, particularly if you carry your weight in your hips. It was a bit snug in the hips and also around the armpit area, but luckily not noticeably so. I'm 5'4 and wore 4" heels and it fell right at my ankles.

Perfect size and so fun
This bag was perfect for a formal occasion - the sparkles make it seem special, but it's small enough so as not to take away from the dress. If you carefully arrange everything, it's just the right size for an iphone 6, 2 lipsticks, a lip gloss, and your credit card / ID. Like that the chain is removable so you can wear it on your shoulder or carry it as a clutch. It goes PERFECTLY with the Raoul "Light Prosser Gown."

If you're ok with non-stop compliments, this is your dress
Full disclosure: I liked this dress so much that I just purchased it! I rented it as part of the Unlimited subscription, with the idea that I could wear it one weekend for either brunch / casual dinner or walking around, and I have already worn it twice in the last 3 days. While it would look great with tan booties or heels (as picture), it is SUPER cute with some fun sneakers. I was receiving compliments within the first 30 minutes of wearing it ... from the hair stylist, the guy at the makeup counter, a stranger at the mall, and the barista who walked out from behind the counter just to come to my table to ask me about my dress. I do love shirtdresses, so maybe I'm already a little biased, but the tie front is just so unique - it looks like I've tied a long-sleeve button down shirt around my waist. Really can't say enough good things about this dress!

The perfect dinner dress (but size down!)
This dress really is perfect for a dinner date - classy, timeless fit with barely-there cut outs that show just a glimpse of skin. High-quality material in great condition. I'm between a 0 and a 2, and the 2 was huge on me (especially the waist / arm holes). Looking forward to renting again in a smaller size.

Great color! Unique cut!
While the skirt is pictured with a crop top and bare legs, I wore it in the middle of winter for dinner with girlfriends, pairing it with a black turtleneck, black tights, and heels. The color is unique and great for any season. The cut gives a cool silhouette and makes small waists look even smaller, so long as you order the right size. If you have any doubt as to your size, go one size up - it is meant to be worn VERY high and is VERY fitted at the waist. That warning aside, my only real problem with the skirt is that the back zipper does not have a hook clasp, so the zipper was coming unzipped all night long. It was fine because I was seated at dinner for most of the evening and the chair backs hid this issue, but I would have been really upset if I'd been out and about or dancing.

More funky, less preppy
I had expected a very preppy, tweed-style blazer, but instead found a piece that was even more fun. The fraying on the sides makes it unique. I will note that it fits / feels much more like a sweater than a blazer, which worked perfectly on a cold night with a big puffer over it when walking outside. I'm always a Size 0 in Rebecca Taylor dresses, but even the Size 2 in this sweater was very small in my bust / shoulders. I ended up clasping the front because otherwise my chest seemed to stick out too much. Looked great when paired with a white tee, ripped up skinnys, and wedge booties. Could be cool over a white dress, too.

"That's a great dress" - my husband
A very cool upgrade to the standard denim dress! Highly recommend. Great for walking around town, running errands, or meeting friends for lunch. While the dress looked a bit boxier on me than it appeared in the picture, simply adding a belt took this dress from "nice" to "great." I couldn't tell from the picture, but the fabric on the top of the dress / at the collar is actually denim. The fabric and pattern certainly jazz up the dress and the fit is both comfortable and stylish. Great dress for fall, spring, or a warm winter day. The fabric is a bit heavier than I was expecting, but it looks great with bare legs and boots or leggings and boots. If I rent it again in the summer, I may pair it with nude cork wedges.

My new favorite dress for any occasion!
Could this dress be any more perfect? Beyond the flattering fit, it really is the "go to" dress regardless of occasion or season. I'm wearing it right now at the office in February with black leggings and over-the-knee flat black boots and it will be on point for after-work cocktails tonight. Would look great with tights and heels for a dressier look. I will likely rent again (if I don't buy it first!) when the weather warms up and pair it with nude pumps. This dress runs true to size, although it was a bit looser in the waist, so there was some slight bunching in the back. Very slimming, though!

Everyone loved the color!
This dress was perfect for a fall night event. The thick material and long sleeves will keep you warm, but the length allows you to show off your legs. I paired it with a pair of nude high-heeled sandals (like in the picture), but it would also look great with pumps, boots, and even tights. I got compliments on the color all night and, like most Parker dresses, the cut (fitted waist with a flare at the hips) was flattering and feminine.

The fit just didn't work for me
Loved this skirt in the picture. Loved this skirt on the hanger. Did NOT love this skirt on my body. While the size (XS) was correct, I felt like the fabric bunched in some places and clung too much in others. The material is wonderful, the color is wonderful, but sadly the fit just didn't work for me.

My Best RTR Rental To Date!
So many words come to mind: unique. beautiful. elegant. classy. I received compliments all night and just felt stunning! This dress does have a bit of a 'Bollywood' feel to it, but the cut and length is just so classic and flattering. I don't feel like the stomach cutout was nearly as noticeable in person, but just knowing it was there gave me an extra "ooomph" all night. I was concerned that the bra/cami insert would be too small for my rather large chest and that I would have too much cleavage showing through the overlay, but this fear was unfounded. I really just cannot say enough good things about how much I love this dress! My only advice - because it is so eye-catching and unique, you likely won't want to wear it twice. Make sure to choose just the right event to show off this stunner!

Great go-to piece for a casual day
This sweater is perfect for those days when you want to look effortless and casual yet still cute and put together. Throw it on with a pair of dark skinny jeans and loafers (or even pumps!) and you're good to go! It's more fitted in the shoulders and chest but not in the waist. My only complaint is that the sweater appears rather pilled, although I'm not sure if that's a result of too much wear and tear or just the material.

Love the lace detail, especially at the waist!
The dress is much classier than it looks in the picture, partly because I'm only 5'5 and don't have as much leg to cover as the model. I tend to wear a Size 2 about 60% of the time and a Size 0 the other 40%, so I ordered a 0 and a 2. While the 2 looked great on my bottom, it noticeably gaped in the shoulder area and the extra material at the waist stretched and made me look bigger than I am. The 0, on the other hand, didn't gape and fit perfectly, especially from the front and the side. When it came to the bottom, though, it was too tight to be flattering. I guess this dress is best for someone who is really broad shouldered with a larger waist and a smaller bottom. Bummer, because I really wanted to like it! (My measurements: 34-25-35)

Sexy yet classy
Snug up top, flowy on bottom = beautiful small waist effect. I am always an XS, but I strongly considered wearing the S just because the top of this dress ran so small. The chest didn't really bother me (and I'm a 32D), but I was worried that I had a bit of the dreaded underarm fat. The XS cinched my waist so nicely, though, that I ended up putting the S right back in the bag. Even though I'm only 5'4", I found the dress to be a bit on the short side, but given the material (it's thicker than it looks in the picture - almost, but not quite, a sweater material) and the color, it looked perfect with tights anyway. Since I was going going out for weeknight birthday dinner / drinks, I paired with boots so as not to look too dressed up, but it would've looked great with patent pumps as well.

Classy, sexy, and elegant all at the same time!
I absolutely adore this dress! Unfortunately, I rented it to wear to a dinner on a beach vacation and it was just a bit too formal. The good news, though, is that I now have a favorite dress and I can't wait to rent it again! It would be the perfect dress for a nice dinner or a fall / winter wedding. The purple color is even prettier in person and the waist is incredibly fitted and flattering. My only word of caution is that the arms run REALLY small.
