Love!!!
I loved this skirt so much I almost bought it. The elastic waist is very flattering and it does not cling to the pooch. The tiger print is great and goes with a lot of things. I wore this to work with booties and an oversized sweater, and to thanksgiving with my family with a turtleneck. I received a lot of compliments. Loved this!

So unique but too big
This parrot purse is hilarious. It looks just like the photos but unfortunately it is too large. I was going to bring it on vacation but didn't want to pack it. It would have been a great statement piece/ conversation starter !

Flattering, but low cut
The waist on this dress is extremely flattering. I am curvy with a large bust and a bit of a tummy so a lot of dresses that hide your stomach also hide your waist. This does not do that. I actually ended up buying it from RTR. The only thing is it is very low cut, but it didn't bother me. Also, the fabric is a light cotton so may be too casual for some. Otherwise, great dress

Runs small, very flattering
I ended up not wearing this dress because it wouldn't zip. I am very top heavy (34DDD) and the 10 just wouldn't zip. This has happened before with other RTR dresses so I should have ordered a size up. Otherwise, the waist was extremely flattering and the ruffles hide any tummy issues. The boning was very itchy and poked me even for the short amount of time I wore it while trying it on. The colors are really lovely.

Just OK
The fabric and pattern are lovely but it felt too conservative for me. With the long length, long sleeves and high neck it was too much. Also it was very long and did not look like it did on the model. Maybe for someone tall and thin?

Perfect!
I rented this for daytime during a trip to Charleston. It was great! So comfy and light but looks put together. I would definitely size down. The elastic waist is really comfy.

Great color
This dress was fabulous! The bride pulled me aside to tell me how much she loved the color and that I was one of the best dressed. I loved how the front was conservative but the low back was party! I am 5'3" and wore heels but it was still a little long. Slightly big in the shoulders, may need to size down. definitely wear spanx. I did not need a bra

The dress fit great! I have a large chest and it was not necessary to wear a bra - the fabric is supportive and lining covers any nips. I got a ton of compliments on the color and cut of the dress. May need spanx.

This fabric and dress are beautiful! The skirt is puffy but not over the top. Unfortunately, I am very large chested and couldn't get it to zipper. Not for women with DDs

Beautiful color... very tight
I loved this dress, the color, the style... but it was soooo tight I couldn't zip it! I am 5'3 155 lbs and I ordered an 8. It was tight in the boob area, but ok in the hips

Too much cleavage
I know the style of this dress is pretty obvious there will be cleavage but it was too much for me!! I didn't wear the dress. However the fabric is so flattering (especially in the tummy area) and bright pink color. Recommend to smaller chested ladies or those who do want to show em off!

Perfect Miami day dress
I wore this to a nice lunch during a bachelorette party in Miami. I received so many compliments! The fabric has a great pattern, and is very flattering. There is not a lot of stretch in the fabric but if you order the correct size you should be fine. The slit has an adjustable tie. You cannot wear a bra with this because the back is open, but I am pretty busty, almost always wear a bra, but felt comfortable in this dress without a bra! That hardly ever happens to me!

Beautiful dress - not for big busts
I wanted to love this dress but it just didn't fit my bust!! I am 34DDD and usually can do strapless with shapes like this one. However, it was like one awkward uniboob. It was not flattering. I will say however that the stomach and waist area was great!! Hid the flaws and flattered the tummy. Would recommend for smaller chested people.

Cardi B vibes
This dress was fabulous!! Fit really well on my curves - the waist is tight and it's fitted around the hips but the tie in the front flatters your tummy. Can be worn with a regular bra. I have a large chest which filled out the dress well. The pattern is brighter in person.

Great warm coat!
This coat made such a statement and it was warm! I wouldn't recommend for temps lower than 30 degrees though. The V neck is very low but looks great with a black turtleneck. It says it is navy and red but it looks black in person.

Pretty pattern, odd size
This bag is lovely and could be really great. It didn't work for me though because it was too small for my work purse (need to fit a number of items including small laptop - this would not work). But it was also too big for a weekend purse - the bottom is very wide and clunky so I would not like to carry this around while running errands. It would make a great airport purse though (just a wallet, kindle, glasses, etc).

These sunglasses are very cool and trendy, but they were way too big for my face. I've never had that kind of a problem with sunglasses. Not a good fit unless you have an extremely large head.

So unique
I loved this! I wore it to a few dinners and nights out and got a lot of compliments. The pearl and gold matches everything. I wore it on my ring and middle fingers and it was not uncomfortable. It's adjustable so it would fit just about anyone. Would definitely recommend for a unique accessory!

Perfect NYE wedding!
I loved this dress!!! I rented it as a last minute decision and was just going to wear a plain black dress if this didn't work out. I wore it to a close friends black tie optional New Year's Eve wedding at a nice hotel. People stopped me constantly to tell me how much they loved my dress! The fabric is very thick and forgiving. However, I did opt to wear spanx and go with the bigger size because I had a holiday belly. The lace and fabric makes it look very expensive. I have a larger chest and it was very tight around the chest area which made the smaller size hard to zip up. I would order a size up if you are curvy. I am self conscious about my arm fat and I felt like the lace cap sleeves covered them well. Would highly recommend!

Rent this!
I loved this purse! I used it ever day for work, it fit my laptop, wallet, and random makeup/keys/snacks/gum/whatever else I needed that day. I loved the camel color - it matched blacks and browns and everything in between.

Nice, basic, ran large
I ended up wearing this less than I thought I would. Its a lovely soft, thick material, but it runs large. I am 5'3'' and gained weight over the holidays, but this still was too big for me. I still wore it out one night, but would have worn it more if it fit better. It came down really long, past my hips to my legs. The off the shoulder had to be readjusted throughout the night. However, it is very good quality, just make sure you size down.

I love this ring!! I really do not wear flashy jewelry, but I thought this piece was so different I had to try it out. I received so many compliments from men and women. I wore it with simple all black outfits, and it was a great accessory. I am 150 lbs and it fit fine on my pointer finger.

This vest is not for the light hearted. It is very large and boxy, and attention grabbing. I loved wearing it though!! I got so many compliments. It is very soft and warm. I would def recommend this as an oversized statement piece.

Okay, but not for me
These earrings would be nice, but they were too dressy for my event. They kind of reminded me of an octopus LOL. Otherwise, I think they'd look great with a black gown for a gala or something more high end, not a party or night out.

I loved this!! I got so many compliments. It's the perfect size for wallet, phone, keys, makeup. I like the magnet button. The color is great!!!!! Probably the best part of this purse. The gold pops over the red. It would be a good red for all year round.

Love these!
I loved wearing these during the holidays!! I kept trying to find opportunities to wear them again. The black sparkles make it low key enough that it's not super sparkly or sequiny like some other sequin-ed outfits. I got a ton of compliments, and it took an all black outfit up a notch. Would definitely recommend! I wore a large and have hips and a belly - I probably could have fit in a M but it would have given me muffin top. The leggings did not suck you in at all, so I did have to wear spanx and/or loose tops.

I really liked wearing this for New Years Eve house party. It was really comfortable, however, it was not flattering in photos. But I got a ton of compliments in person. I added a gold belt which cinched my waist.

Classic and comfortable
I LOVED this dress!! It is one of my favorite rentals. I got so many compliments in person and on social media. I do not have a flat stomach and this did a good job of hiding that without being a tent. The sleeves and lace are elegant. The slip underneath is very soft and comfortable. I have a large chest and was able to wear a regular bra. This paired well with big earrings.

Looks great on anyone
This dress looked really plain in the photos on RTR, and I only chose it because my first choice was unavailable. However, it looked amazing in person. My two friends tried it on and they have different body types, and it looked great on them too. The cut and fabric make it flattering on anyone. I am 5'3'', 140 lbs, 34DDD, and I felt great in this dress. I wore the 6P. The 8P was a little too big. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Red hot
This dress was so glamorous. It was too glamorous for my formal dinner, but another issue was that it was way too tight! This shows every flaw in the stomach area, so be prepared to wear spanx with it! I did not end up wearing it because it was not flattering (but would have looked great on someone with a flatter stomach). The color and cut of the off the shoulders is fabulous however. If you can pull this off, I envy you!

Tight up top
This dress is adorable, however I was unable to wear it. It would not zip up over my large chest, and even if it did, it showed a TON of cleavage. This would have not been a problem (it was hot!) but too much for the formal dinner I was to attend. I would recommend this dress for someone with Bs or Cs.

Didn't wear it but beautiful
This dress is gorgeous in person. The white is very bright but the bronze overlay is beautiful. I felt like a queen. It was almost TOO formal for my cocktail dinner, but I think this would be great for a formal wedding or rehearsal dinner. The white was not so white that I believe a guest of the wedding could get away with wearing this if the bride isn't too picky lol. I have a very curvy figure and this dress helped to flatter my small waist and big bust/hips. I think it would also look nice on someone tall and thin. I would definitely recommend but keep it mind it is very formal in person.

Perfect
This dress was great! I actually got this as my backup and was pretty weary but pleasantly surprised. I have a very large chest (34DDD) and the 6 fit me just fine (although a little too tight by the end of the night). The skirt is tight fitting but the lace overlay hides any bumps. I thought the red flowers were beautiful. The length was below my knee but I am 5'2 so on normal people it would probably hit right above the knee. I would definitely recommend this dress.
