Beautiful but with the dreaded tiny zipper
This dress so lovely and floaty and flattering. Perfect for fall. I have a large chest which was cropped by the waist band but in a forgiving way because of the fabric overlay. Tons of compliments. The only warning is you need a committed partner to zip you in because this has one of those truly awful tiny zippers that stick all the way up!! I almost returned it even though it fit because we couldn't get it up after about 5 minutes. I would NEVER have gotten it on my own.

Sizing is tiny if you're full figured
I usually wear a size 12 but only a 14 was available. I couldn't even zip it over my chest. For reference I'm pretty consistently a 12 in Kate Spade. This dress is just made for slimmer people and bigger sizing seems wonky.

Somehow chic even thought it's a giant blanket!
I rented this because I had to spend a week in Canada for a work event. It was the perfect weight for the chilly spring we've had. I felt cool even though I was basically wearing a blanket. The tight sleeves make it seem really chic. I normally wear a 12-14 and this was a perfect fit for me. Still really roomy in the body. Wish it was slightly cheaper because I'd buy it!

Classic and Flattering
You feel sort of like a character on Mad Men in this dress. It's a great silhouette that comes off as professional and trendy.

Bold colors and flattering silhouette
This dress is professional from afar and fun up close. The buttons pulled a bit at the chest, but it was generally a flattering fit that got lots of compliments.

Most comfortable dress with a crisp look
I love the fabric of this dress. It's so comfortable but looks structured enough for work. It's just got an elastic band at the waist so it's a little baggy and I sized down to L -- I'd imagine a thinner person may even be able t to size down twice. This is a fun work dress that is light and lovely.

Summer fun
This dress is super flattering. The top showed a little more cleavage than I would wear to work, but it's such a fun dress for a night or day out. Fit was true to size.

Colors pop and Nonstop compliments
This dress is probably a little too light for March, but will be a lovely spring/summer option. The colors are neon and fun but a black sweater tones it down enough that I could wear it for work. I'm super curvy and it fit perfectly all over. The arms aren't tight and fit comfortably on my bigger arms.

Beautiful dress - worn to death
I'm curvy and wrap dresses rarely work, but this one was total perfection. The buttons are there to keep everything closed at the perfect spot. Unfortunately the dress I received was worn to death and the buttons were hanging on by a thread. It was unwearable. I recommend this dress - hopefully yours will come in better shape than mine did.

Tiny but very classic bag
This bag is very sweet and has a great vintage look. To me, it was too small for everyday wear but not the right look for dressier outfits.

Beautiful print - great fabric, too small for me
I'm not sure I really understand the sizing on this one. It's so fun looking in real life, but the largest just didn't work for me. There is no stretch in the waist or arms .

Lovely quality but too small for this size 12
I typically love this style of fit and flare sweater dress, but this one just didn't flatter. It clung to all the wrong spots... I think I'd need a size or two bigger.

Not designed for my body
As a lot of other reviewers said, this dress just doesn't feel like it was made for the female form. The top was both big and tight at the same time. I wore it to work just because I didn't have anything else to send back with it, and it's the first RTR rental that didn't garner compliments. The fabric is not a great feel. I love it in the photos, but it really doesn't live up to the images.

Flattering fit, beautiful fabric. Looks so rich
This is one of those dresses that gives off a timeless vibe. As others said, the arms are a little snug. I sized up and was glad I did. The fit is so flattering. A dress that made me feel great and got a lot of compliments.

Beautiful leather, less functional design
I love the look of this bag. In person it is more beige than grey. The style is wonderful, but I felt the design wasn't as functional as I'd hoped. There's only one external pocket that is open and rests against your back while you wear it - so you have to take it off every time you look at your phone or pay for something. It's a beautiful bag, just not for me.

Surprisingly flattering and more formal than expected
This dress is perfect for bridal/baby showers. It's super flattering on the top for a well-endowed woman. The fabric is very thin and shows almost anything you wear underneath.

Flirty and fun
This is not my typical style, but it was very fun to wear. The fabric is lovely in person. The seam at the waist gave a little more definition than I expected and I really liked it.

Got endless compliments!
This dress is so fun. The print and the price tag meant I probably wouldn't have ever purchased it in real life, but I wish I could afford to keep it. It's cool and flattering. I got so many compliments. The zipper is a little rough - my husband had to zip me in - but overall it was wonderful!

Cool silhouette, not my size
I'm always on the verge of plus. I normally wear a size 12 and this was just too large. It swallowed me up, but was a very cool silhouette!

Chic look for work
I rented this for work - it's a little too heavy to keep on all day for me. I normally wear a 12 but could've gone down to a 10 in this. The coat is lovely, very high quality and gives off a subtle cool vibe. I think it'd be better to rent in Spring for outdoor events.

Comfortable, Elegant, Compliments didn't stop
I want to feel like this every day! I wear a size 12/XL normally and was worried about the fit of this dress. It's a dream. The material is thick and stretchy - it hugs in all the right places. I have a big bust and hips, this is so flattering on! I'll probably rent this one again!

Not scaled for bigger ladies
I usually wear a size 8-10 and got the largest size because I was nervous about the designer label. The fit was... odd. It feels like this dress wasn't recut from the size 0 dress pattern, so it was strangely loose in the waist and tight in the hips. What should have been a flattering silhouette felt strange on my curvy body. I wouldn't recommend it for a woman who typically goes for this fit & flare silhouette as flattering. the waist and stomach area were very loose - as in I could have gone down a size or two. The thigh/hip area was snug.. I got away with wearing it, but couldn't have sized down. Not worth the high price tag in the bigger size. I'm sure it's stunning on smaller sized ladies. Sadly I think this is a case of a designer that didn't take the time to think about the difference in the body shape of a person who wears a 0 and a 10... it's the exact shape dress for both sizes.. so you're getting a tube either way. If you've got no curves, that's great! But if your 10 comes with curves that you want to show off, you're going to want to pick a designer that recognizes and designs clothes to flatter them!

Most beautiful dress on earth!
To start, the dress was stunning. Both sizes had tags on them which leads me to believe I'm the first renter and it showed. The dresses were spotless! I'm 5'4" and the dress basically came down to my ankles, but it was so flattering and floated perfectly that it still looked great! Just don't expect it to hit where it does on the model! In general, I found it to be a bit fuller than it is on the model as well.. that may be just because I'm wearing a larger size. I'm curvy, both the 10 and 12 fit well on my bust (36D) and waist... I didn't notice much difference between the two sizes but wore the 10 since it was slightly more flattering. Up close, the floral material doesn't look super high quality, but the overall look of the dress is magical! Highly recommend!

This dress feels like magic! But ouch! Make sure the boning is safely inside the fabric!
Got compliments on the dress all night. You wouldn't think that sequins would be flattering, but the cut is really stunning. Boning provides a lovely shape to the top, however I think the dress I received had been worn a few too many times... the boning was bursting through the seam and cut my under my arm. It looks like they've fixed a few other spots on the dress - I guess check the top as soon as it arrives so you don't run into the same problem! ouch!

Fun dress - feel like a pin-up
The fit is really flattering on curvy girls. Lots of compliments. The fabric has a sort of strange feel and was tough to get looking perfect even with a steamer. Overall really fun dress for a night out!

Lots of compliments - but purse not in great condition
This clutch is incredible, got tons of compliments. The only downside was the thread holding the chains on the bottom is loose so it was short of perfect. I assume they fix them up inbetween uses so hopefully the next renter will have something a little more pulled together!
