Cute online, not as cute in person
Loved this dress online but didn't love when I tried it on. It hit at just above the ankle (I'm 5'0) so it didn't look as cute. Additionally, the bodice is a little lower cut than I'm comfortable with for a work-sponsored gala. I wasn't able to get a replacement in time and wasn't able to get a refund, only a membership credit.

Very cute but hard to open
This was a good clutch with an optional chain to wear on your shoulder. I liked the bag but it was hard to open and that got a little annoying

Great Dress for Black Tie
I'm 5'1 so this dress was great as a last minute option for a gala. It was a little long in the back but it was better than a full length dress. I liked the built in bra with the dress but would've been great to have padding. I was intending to wear sticky boobs but the ones I had were ruined so I wore a regular strapless bra. It did make the dress a little more booby but it wasn't bad enough to lose the strapless bra. Overall, I would rent again. It was comfortable and easy to move/sit in

Too Long and Bad Zipper
I'm 5'0 and new it would be close on length with this dress. It was too long for me to wear even with 3" heels. Also the zipper was in pretty bad shape. I had trouble getting it unzipped to even try it on and it didn't get any easier once I was in it. The material is gorgeous though and I felt beautiful in the dress it was just much too long and made me swim a little.

All Around Perfect LBD
This has been my favorite rental from RTR. I absolutely love this dress and plan on purchasing it. I wore it to work and received a ton of compliments but I also plan on wearing it to a wedding and other events that are a little dressier. I was worried about getting a small but it fits perfectly. It is a smidge tight in the underarms but not uncomfortably so. I feel great wearing this dress!

I wanted this to work but it just didnt
Full disclosure this all might be me not knowing how to work a wrap dress, but I could not get the chest to come close to being appropriate for work. There's no hook to close and I was much too exposed - adding a cami would not have really helped as the top part was so loose and sort of frumpy

Loved the dress but after a long day of sitting at work it became unflattering
I wore this for my first day of work at a new job and would say it is true to size. I loved how this dress looked in the morning when I left for work, but by the time we left for dinner it was unflattering. The material wrinkled in a way that accentuated my stomach and hips. I didn't wear Spanx with this and would recommend that to future wearers.

Should've looked closer and noticed it was drop waist
I thought this was more of an a-line fit but it's really more of a drop waist. The dress was hard to pull on, maybe I have a big head, but comfy once it was on. I didn't like the drop waist look on me. My athletic thighs and butt made it look less flattering

Didn't love the fit
I wanted to love this so much but I just didn't love the fit on me. It was a little too casual

Ugh shorter than expected - oddly proportioned
When I started pulling up the dress I realized it was going to be short. I'm only 5'1 so I never really worry about shortness of dresses. However, this was much too short on me. I was hoping to wear it for a one year olds birthday party and maybe even to work on casual Friday, but if I had I would've ended up looking like Meredith from the office. The fit was also a bit tighter than expected. I'm not sure if going up a size would really help because of where the banding on the waist hit. It was such a cute dress and I'm sad it didn't work out
