Very cute summery dress
As a very petite person, it was nice to finally find some RTR that fits! While the bodice was perhaps about one inch too long in the torso, it was manageable. The skirt portion is flowy in the best way, and you get a little flirty swish when you walk or do stairs. Fabric is thin and light, but didn't feel cheap. Would rent again!

Not for petites
The paneling on this dress makes it interesting and potentially flattering. However, it was much too big for my petite frame, and was also several inches too long.

Probably not good for work but cute for date night!
An interesting and cute dress. It's a bit short, even for a shortie like me (5'0). With tights, it could be work appropriate. The fabric is a thin, scuba like material that makes it less heavy than the standard scuba fabric.

Bust darts make this seem less work appropriate
Cute dress with visible seaming throughout for additional visual interest. Fit me well, but the bust darts seemed to draw more attention to my bust than I'd feel comfortable with at work. Also seemed super short, even for my 5' self!

For long torsos
Cute dress for work. Would have loved to wear it except it was too long in the shoulder to bust area. I'm drawn to structured dresses, but if everything doesn't fit exactly right, then you're pretty much out of luck. Probably fits body types that look good in black halo well.

More like a date night dress
Great fit, very flattering. The darts around the bust do poke out a bit more aggressively than I'd like, but the draping covers this up sufficiently that it's not that much of a problem. I originally rented this for work; due to the v back, it feels more like a date night dress.

So close! But... BUT for the chest
This dress was ALMOST perfect in every way. The fabric is heavy knit that would be very forgiving of lumps and bumps. The paneling is very flattering, especially if you have more of a straight figure. Slit up the back did not seem indecent. BUT where the seams come together at the top of the triangle in the front, the fit was just... strange. It puckered out in a truly unflattering way, and I tried wearing padded push up bras in order to see if it was a bust size thing, but that didn't help. There was an extremely unflattering fold that just... hung there. Couldn't wear it. Ugh. I wanted to love this so much.

Good standard top
Nothing special about this top. It's nice enough, but nothing that really says wow. It does go a bit low if you're on the smaller side; you could either wear a cami with it, or I tied the string right at the v to cover it up a bit. I did worry that when I bent over, it would flare open. The material is a tiny bit on the sheer side, but if you wear a nude bra, it shouldn't be a problem. Just... meh.

Looked like a Star Trek cadet
I'm 5'0, 30c, 95 lbs. the top fit nicely and the fabric is a weighty material (wouldn't be good for a summer dress or anything like that). It actually fit fine, which was surprising to me. But I just couldn't get over the flight attendant/star trek look.

Gorgeous dress - classic and classy
When the stylist first suggested this dress, I thought it was a bit too conservative and was going to be boring. But my original choice had fallen through, and we were scrambling to find me a 0P that was available. I hesitantly agreed to try this dress, and am so glad I did. It's beautiful and really accentuates the waist. I did have to pin up about two feet of the dress to accommodate my short stature (5 foot), but it was easily done with a mess of safety pins. Otherwise, it fit true to size (I'm a 30C, 95 lb, with broad shoulders). I received many compliments throughout the night!

Really long for a petite.
Fits true to size (I'm 5 foot, 95 lbs, usually wear a 00P). However, it was LONG. Also, it cut in so as to really create side boob bulge. I'm not chubby by any means, but I simply don't understand how people pull off strapless dresses or the like without getting that boob bulge right by the armpit!
