Sticky/Tough zipper, but fully lined & pocket perfection
I liked this dress a lot, though it does poof out at the midsection when you sit. No bra needed, and the thick material and lining for it a nice formal weight tha is flattering when standing. Rented for an out of town event but since I couldn’t zipper solo, I just wore to church the following weekend.

Beautiful embroidery, boxy cut
The embroidery (front and arms only) is well done but the jacket itself felt boxy. This seems like a better spring or fall jacket than winter - it's pretty thin. And the pockets aren't too deep. Maybe I'd size down if I rented again, even though I had a sweater underneath. I just didn't seem flatting without my hands in my pockets giving it some form.

Flattering pleats!
So many compliments on this dress! Or is it a skirt? Seriously, so many people thought it was the perfect skirt and tank pairing that I stopped correcting them that it was a dress. Worked beautifully with this RTR oversized blazer, as well as a smaller fitted blazer. Pleats fell beautifully, and in the most slimming of ways. The waist line of the dress does move higher if your chest is bigger, but not in a way that you worry it looks like you are wearing a maternity dress. Highly recommend!

Oversized but not slouchy, fall blazer perfection!
Loved this light blazer with perfect oversized proportions. Wore it multiple times - over a RTR Cinq A Sept dress (picture here, love that too!), black silk shirt and black pants, and black dress. Traveled well - quick steam had all wrinkles out. Neutral color combo worked with everything and the silk lining (with inoffensive pattern) looked great with sleeves rolled. Considered keeping. Would definitely rent again!

Pop and pockets!
I got so many compliments on this dress, one woman even asked to see the tag since I couldn’t remember the designer and she had to get it. Several colleagues told me to buy it even though I try not to wear the same dress to different work events. 11 out of 10!

Re-rented in smaller size so I could buy them!
Loved these pants so much in large (even though they were too big), that I rerented in my actual size (medium) and then bought them. These became my summer, in-the-backyard relaxing weekend pants that were still dressy enough to wear to work or a graduation party with cute shoes and a jean jacket.

Anniversary standout, but need spouse to zipper
I got so many compliments on this beautiful dress, but I’m glad I wore it to an event with my husband and not work event on the road because I could not zipper it by myself! No need for a bra, and it felt great but renter beware that help is required!

Wore to a work gala and got a ton of compliments. Flower and color are amazing. Very figure flattering and not a low cut dress even though it is strapless. Loved this!

Wore the full suit for new headshots and it was perfection. Got so many compliments on the color and cut. Have rented the jacket multiple times now, but get the full suit if you can!

Loved this cute summer dress. Agree that it might not be the most flattering (though husband disagreed), but oh was it comfortable.

Very warm professional pants!
Wore these multiple times over a month. Worked with heels and sneakers running around a conference. Looked nicer with a fitted top than jacket as the legs do have volume. Note: the pants - and lining that begins at the knee - are VERY warm. Worked great in winter months but did get hot indoors when the heat was up.

Beautiful design, heavy fabric for a summer dress
Wore this to a baby shower and while I thought the dress was very pretty, it was a lot of fabric for a summer event in the heat. Even the arms felt like there was too much weight to the fabric. Mostly this was due to the lining. Would have been better for a spring function.

Beautiful colors for spring, be prepared for side cut-outs
I rented the stress for Easter because I loved the color and style. I had to wear it with a blazer due to the side cut outs. With a blazer on, they were not noticeable. Would have loved this dress without them. Great rental though if you are looking for a beautiful pop of spring in your outfit!

Beautiful pop in a sea of black
I wore this to a flower themed special event fundraiser that I knew would have a sea of black women’s dresses. It definitely stood out and generated compliments all night long. It also looked great in photos. The flower did get a bit deformed in the my luggage but a little fluffing hanging on the hanger brought it back to life.

Great pop of color, strong 70s vibe
Loved this dress. It was a super fun pop of color that worked as both a work outfit and fun dress for an outdoor party. My husband did think it was a bit loud- but I got lots of compliments!

Torso too short
I liked the print and fabric of the material, but I found the torso oddly short on this. The waist band kept riding up so that it was almost an empire waist. I didn't wear it because it wasn't flattering without the waistband sitting at my waist.

Cute and comfortable!
Loved this outfit! Super simple, both cute and comfortable. The material is sort of silky so you can wear it in more work/formal settings. Glad there is a hook at the chest too. Helped ensure it stayed work appropriate!

Great color & fun design, but top is hard to stay up & can't easily wear shapewear with it
Pros - the color of this dress is a beautiful bright pink. And the piece of fabric on the waist seem is a nice detail that makes it really fun. The fabric of the dress felt good too and was comfortable to wear all day at an afternoon summer wedding with evening reception. Cons - the top of the dress felt like it was losing its elasticity. So the shoulders kept sliding down. The result is when I took the wrap off that I wore with it, the armpits of the dress had a weird gaping. (See photo) Also, since the straps were on the side of the arm and not the shoulders it didn't really allow for shapewear that requires straps. I was able to wear it with a shawl the entire day, but had it been hotter that would have been really annoying.

Tight in the ribcage
I ordered this for a wedding, but did not end up wearing it. The dress was too tight in the waist. I also did not love the lace detailing on the sides. I felt like it was prettier from afar than in person.

Too tight in rib cage, not flattering if you have a bigger chest
As other reviews indicate, this dress is tight around the rib cage. Additionally, if you have a larger chest , it pulls the fabric up making the waist seem more empire than around your true waist. This was very unflattering on me and caused my stomach to look much bigger.

Flattering, comfortable, not-fussy dress with flair!
Wore this dress to a work gala where I needed to be comfortable but have ease of movement, etc. Pull up this dress instead of putting on over your head. It is heavy fabric but in a way that is very comfortable and felt like it was very forgiving for the mom who isn't back in shape. I loved the waist flair and it gave the dress an added pop. Top also had thick enough straps that you could wear a good bra/shapewear and not have to worry too much about those straps showing. Note that the back is slightly lower than the front. But not so low to require you to change bra styles.
