It's just ok.
I just think the material is thinner than I preferred. So I end up not wearing it to the office and only wearing it at home as one of my WFH outfit. The shirt didn't look like it's pressed properly (plenty of wrinkles) but that's OK since I wore it at home.

Trust the RTR suggest size
RTR suggests size 14 would be the great fit for me (who is size 16). I didn't listen and proceed with size 16. And the dress end up too big for me (5'2, 170 lb). So definitely will try it at size 14 next time. I think this could be a great work dress too! The material is lovely. It's a bit on the thicker side but it's perfect for spring time and chilly summer (high 60F area).!

Perfect work dress
While this size still works for me, I may consider renting one size smaller. With this size, it def hides my belly and the A-line shape just drapes beautifully. Perfect length for work dress!

Perfect dress for travel/work/being a mom
I end up wearing this on Sunday for my mother's day dinner. It's a very lovely dress - I wore it since the morning and the dress held up nicely. It covers my mommy pouch perfectly. Even I am 5'2, the dress was not overwhelming. It is a nice step-up from a very casual summer dress. I think this dress will be perfect for travel. Def will rent it again this summer month!

True to size but storage room is more than expected!
I really love this bag. The only thing I'm not a big fan is the little tassel at the end (just way too long for my personal preference). But I love the layout inside of the bag...like it so much that I'm going to keep it for another month!

It's ok.
So I got size 14 based on the recommendation from the website. I can fit in the dress but the bust part is way too big for my relatively flat chest. My belly was comfortable when I'm at size 14. I think it may be a little bit too tight if I were in size 12. The cut of the dress would flatter mid-section but it just doesn't works for me when I'm in between sizes. It's a lovely design. Perfect for hot summer. not ideal for layering since the puffy sleeves aren't jacket friendly. I end up not wearing it :( I think it's my problem - not the dress. I think this dress will fit perfectly for ladies with regular height.

Works OK for my height :)
I have to wear it right under my bust (empire waist) in order to make this skirt work (but it was still like a maxi skirt). Love the material. I wore it for a BBQ on a weekend and even to work during the heatwave in San Francisco. The panel hides my belly well. It's a perfect summer dress!

It's still too long for short people :(
I never wear it out - it's too long for my height (5'2) even when I wore it at the empire waist skirt. It may work if I have those platform sport shoes but I don't so I end up just wearing it at home.

Love the sleeves :)
It's a long overdue review. I rent this dress for a fall/winter wedding and I loved this dress. I was a pianist for the wedding - so even though the sleeves look long, I was able to tie at the end so that it wouldn't bother me when I played piano. This is a perfect piece if you are into dramatic sleeves or if you feel a little bit insecure about your arms. I was 7 months postpartum and size 14 was perfect to hide my mommy belly.

Love the design. But not meant for me.
I love the design of this sweatshirt. I just don't look good in it :( Maybe if I were a couple inch taller, then I won't look boxy in it. The material is on the thinner side but it's good enough for San Francisco chilly summer days and it's perfect for layering. I rent it for work (casual dress code here). It's lovely with a pair of dark wash jeans at work. It's also lovely to pair it with destroyed jeans for casual weekend look too!

Perfect for summer!
I love this dress. The elastic waist is not super tight. I definitely size it down to Medium. I first rent it in Large. It still fits but the elastic waist dropped a little bit. So I rent Size medium on the following month and it fits perfectly. It's a very comfortable material and I love how fabric falls on my body. It is a thin material; so it will show your underpants or bras shape. So definitely have to wear seamless underwear for this one. Keep your regular size if you want just a touch of room. But definitely size it down from your normal size if you want it to be fitted in a chic/comfy way. (I'm 5'2', 154lb, usually size 12 in GAP/size14 in J.crew).

Love the length and the worn out details
I could get around with size 4 because there were plenty of room at the belly area and extra room in the chest area. If you have fuller bust, then definitely keep your original size. But my chest is not that big...so I think size 4 will make me look less baggy. The cut of the sweatshirt has a little A-line shape. So perfect to hide postpartum belly or to wear it toward the end of the pregnancy. The weight of the fabric is perfect for chilly time :) Even it has the oversize look/style, it's easy to wear it under a puff jacket. Love it! Likely will rent again in size 4 next time!

Cute sweater that can be breastfeeding friendly
The wide neckline can provide relatively easy access for breastfeeding/pumping. The sleeves are definitely are on the longer side - so if you aren't into long sleeves, skip it or roll your sleeves. I personally love long sweaters but this length actually works well. Size L is a good fit for me - I can't imagine wearing size XL because I will end up with an off-the-shoulder look (perfectly fine to wear it on a Sat morning at home seducing my love but not office appropriate).

Cute top
It fits well. Not too big, not too small. The material is on the thinner side of a hoodie but it makes it perfect for layering. The print is playful enough that it doesn't look silly on me. The condition of the top shows a little bit worn because you can see the crack on the printed hearts but it doesn't bother me that much for a rental. I wore it to work as well and it's perfectly fine for casual Friday (or casual office setting).

Lovely dress.
I didn't wear the dress because I end up having no occasion to wear it. I have a big belly. So if you want to show off your pregnant belly, this can be a good one. It has enough lace to downplay the belly so that doesn't look super big but the slip dress under the lace will show a bit. So consider size one up if you are renting it during pregnancy. (I always have a big guts that make me look like I'm 6-month pregnant). The lace and the sleeves are gorgeous! Lovely piece :)

Cute bag
It holds everything that I need. It holds its shape but not like it's super polished so you can dress up/down with this bag. Love it so much that I'm very tempted to buy one (but at the same time I'm also doing this Konmari method so...probably I'll just rent it next next month!)

Not really a tunic
It covers my butt (barely) but it doesn't really cover my front. If you do want to pair it with leggings, do it in dark color. I've already size one up hoping to achieve the long tunic look but it totally fails. I feel like it's more like a shirt rather than a tunic. Other than that, it's a cute top!

Cute dress as long as you don't have a big belly (then size it up)
For 5'2, this dress just hits at my knee. It's such a cute dress. It's comfortable as well. If you are expecting, definitely a keeper. If you are in second trimester, definitely consider adding this to your favorite list. Third trimester ladies, please size it up. The dress is not very good at hiding your belly. If you have a big food baby belly (I do - my belly is still bigger than my boobs 9 months postpartum), size one up from your regular size to hide it. If not, it may show. The sleeves are fun; but don't wear it when you do art with toddlers or have meals with toddlers as the sleeves will start wiping the desk/table when you reach for things. :) I wear mine to office for work. I think it's a perfect outfit if your office setting has a casual vibe...or a cute dress to wear on a Saturday for brunch or hanging out!

The V is much lower than the picture
It's a must to wear a cami underneath this in order to keep the neckline office appropriate. It's not as high as picture shown. I'm not very busty but the V is still too revealing for me. I was going to wear it for a job interview but that interview didn't happen..so at the end I just wore it for a date. I like the material and the cut is flattering. But for me, in order to make it work, I will have to size it up to XL in order to wear a cami underneath. So if you are always in between size, you may want to size it up and wear a cami to achieve a modest neckline. If not, get ready with fashion tape to hide the boobs! (I got around by wearing a scarf when I was at the office. And then I went to my date and removed my scarf. *magic*).

Comfortable!
I like the roomy the dress was. I was 4.5 months postpartum. So this would work for expecting ladies too (my belly was still pretty big at this time). I was debating between L and XL. both fits fine but I opted for XL because I was just conscious about my back rolls :P The length was perfect for my height. It hits at my knee. But the dress was lined so you don't really get that peek-a-boo element.

The sleeves! love them!
I was 3.5 months postpartum (and 165 lb) when I wore this dress. So my belly was still really big (I'm not those ladies who had flat abs after popping babies). The dress was comfortable and the sleeves added an interesting element. I highly recommended it if you are in 2nd trimester or in postpartum period. If you are in 3rd trimester, definitely have to size it up.

It's a beautiful skirt!
For me, it almost turns into a maxi skirt (I'm only 5' 2). I was a pianist for a wedding so it was perfect because I did not have to worry about flashing anything when I sat down. The pocket was genius. The elastic waist is a bit worn out I think - I had to wore it at very high waist so that my belly could hold up the skirt. haha! I end up wearing size Medium instead of size Large. The beautiful design and fabric was perfect and made me look like I had lost 10 pounds. ha! I was 6 months postpartum in the picture. Definitely size it down when you pick this skirt.

Sleeves are long for petite people :P
I love the sweater. I paired it with leggings. It's perfect for expecting moms and during the postpartum period. It's not breastfeeding friendly but I have no problem pumping while in this sweater. I wore it as a tunic. The only thing for me was the sleeves - I had to roll it up twice and basically covered the beautiful cuff details.

Perfect touch to finish my outfit
Part of me worried they would send me a bag but it turned out to be a beautiful statement necklace that perfectly complimented my dress! It's a beautiful pink Kate Spade statement necklace. I love this mystery bling so much that I now add it to my next RTR order!! :D
Beautiful dress for a summer wedding
I'm 3 month's postpartum and my belly is still pretty big (39 inch) so the size 16 fits me (since the waistline is not a shift dress). I was going to rent size 14 but i'm glad that it was out and size 16 worked perfectly fine even though i have some room at the chest area. Got compliments for my dress from other guests :) I don't look like i have a huge belly from this dress. haha! It looks like a plain dress but the detail at the bottom makes it interesting. It's lined but the material is not thick - it's perfect for California summer days! The only complain I have is the string/thread that connects the two layers at the bottom - somehow results in a weird outline/flow-y shape (somehow doesn't flow with the rest of the bottom of the dress). but if you take pictures from certain angle, u can hide it.. and it's not noticeable to others as long as u walk confidently :) I will rent this dress or other similar design from this designer again in the future!

Great alternative to maternity dress
The fit of the dress is very forgiving and I got so much compliments - it's perfect to show off my belly when i wear the same size as my pre-pregnant size. (So I would think this dress may run large for others, unless you have a large mid-section...which is also me before I get pregnant). For my company's work party, I actually purchased a materntiy dress elsewhere but the fit was horrible for my petite body frame (requires a lot of fixes by a seamtress). So I tried to see if anything from RTR would work and this dress just works beautifully. If you are short and on the edge of plus size before pregnancy like me (size 14, 5'2), this is a great dress not to miss. Large size maternity dresses tend to think the mother-to-be are tall...(so if you are tall, this may not work). The look of the dress may not be very formal but you can dress up with accessories and shoes accordingly to give that formal look. I think this is a hidden gem for petite pregnant ladies to consider if you need a LBD!

I've rented this dress for three times.
First two times were intentional. The third time was an accident (I rent another dress but that dress couldn't be delivered so I got this as my backup). Here are things I love: - The material is on the thicker side. It's perfect for chilly spring/summer time in San Francisco (you don't need to bring an extra jacket with you). For the winter, just add a wool jacket and tight and you are good to go. - Even for 5' 2, this is a perfect length for attending events with cocktail dress code. (it hits on my knee perfectly). - I've worn this to a professional work gala, a wedding anniversary celebration, and company's christmas party. And everyone praised about the cape design. - the neckline is high enough to keep everything covers up but it's also a perfect backdrop for you to be creative to showcase any fashion statement necklace you have. I've matched it with layering necklaces, a bold fashion statement necklace, and string of pearls. the sky is the limited. - and it's perfect for those who have a big belly...my belly is not flat. it's a dome shape. it hides everything perfectly. If you really worry about it, you can size it up. (when I was 150 lb, size 12 was perfect. but when i was 170 lb, size 14 was the way to go).
