Perfect LBD
This was a perfect dress for work. It was modestly cut but still cute and it had the small cutouts along the hem that kept it a little sexy. The material had enough stretch that it was very comfortable and the length was perfect. Loved this!

Cute But Too Long
I'm 5'4" so this was just a little long to be flattering on me. It fell a few inches above my ankles and ended up seeming like I was playing dress up. The material was thick and fantastic; I could see it working really nicely in the fall. It was comfortable and the cut was otherwise very flattering. If I were taller I would've loved this more but it was just a few inches too long.

Loved It
This was an extremely flattering and comfortable dress. As a wrap you can essentially adjust the waist to your needs so you're guaranteed a great fit. I recommend having fashion tape on hand because the neckline has the potential of shifting and revealing your bra if you don't tape it. It was perfect.

Very Flattering Cut
This dress has a very flattering cut, particularly if you're a pear like me. The material is heavy with just enough stretch so it's perfect in the fall when paired with tights and a cardigan.

Comfortable & Flattering
This dress fit comfortably. The material was heavy with stretch but did not bag out so it fit really nicely. The pattern was fun but the muted (almost retro) colors seemed a little drab. This was one of the few RTR rentals where I didn't receive compliments although there wasn't anything distinctly wrong with it. It just wasn't amazing.

My Favorite Jumpsuit
I loved this jumpsuit. The material was light enough to be comfortable with just enough stretch but also not revealing of imperfections. The fit was beautiful. I'd rent this again!

Perfection In a Dress
This dress was perfect for work. The length is modest but it was also form fitting enough to be subtly sexy. The material is thick and conceals imperfections, along with generally being stretchy and comfortable. As with other RTR dresses I received compliments. I loved it!

Cute and Flattering Mini
When I first tried this on I was skeptical because it seemed too short. I'm 5'4" so most dresses aren't short on me, even short dresses. This one is a mini! It hit me pretty much where it's hitting the model. I made it work by wearing a trench when I was out and then making sure not to bend over or reach my arms over my head even a little. Other than that it's gorgeous. The shape is surprisingly flattering for someone with hips although they were the tightest part. If you've got bigger hips like me then I'd recommend sizing up for comfort. This style works a lot better when the material can move freely.

Perfect In Every Way
This is my favorite RTR to date. It's an excellent dress for work; modest enough for conservative workplaces but also cute and tastefully sexy. Great material and fit. It hit me right above the knee which was perfect.

Flattering Summer Dress
I received a number of compliments on this dress despite it not entirely living up to my expectations. The one I received did not have tassels at the end of the ties; I suspect they fell off long ago and RTR just repaired it. It was also difficult for me to adjust the top so that I didn't inadvertently flash people. There are several snaps that keep the top closed and they're spaced pretty far apart and only go to mid-chest. I had to make sure it was tied closed otherwise the top would gape open. I have a smaller chest and imagine it would be a bigger problem for someone with a larger bust. In retrospect I should have used some invisible tape to secure it. My only other gripe was that I'm 5'4" and it hit me right at the knee which isn't the most flattering length but I should have assumed that based on the pictures. The material is nice and the print is fantastic. Great for summer!

Classically Edgy
The material is thick enough to cling closely without being overly revealing of imperfections. The raw edges added some interest and overall I really enjoyed this dress. I dressed it down with some Adidas Samba shoes. The length wasn't ideal for someone who's 5'4" because it hit me right at the knees which makes me look shorter, but otherwise it was nice and good for work.

Beautiful and Modest
The print is gorgeous and the material is surprisingly heavy. The cut was not as flattering as I would have liked despite the dress fitting well. It just felt a bit bulky and unflattering. I'm 5'4" and it hit me right at the knee which I didn't like either. I dressed it down with a denim jacket and sandals but it still felt a bit fussy. This is probably most appropriate if you need something to wear to church. Ideal for spring.

I want to keep this!
Love this dress! Super flattering and comfortable. It's a fitted sheath but the material is thick enough that it's very forgiving. It's also a great length. The only issue is that if you don't make sure the dress is pulled down when you stand up then the lower cutout can reveal your bra. I didn't have any problems with the bra showing otherwise. Depending on your workplace you might want to add a blazer. Perfect for summer and spring.

Flattering Work Dress
Super cute and appropriate for work. A very flattering shape for someone who has wide hips. It was on the border of running small but not quite. If my hips were half an inch wider it would have been too tight but the bust fit perfectly. The material does not have stretch. I was worried the length wouldn't be flattering but even though it fell right above my knee, which usually cuts me off and makes me look shorter, thanks to the cut it still looked great. The material is thick and high quality. It does crease over the day but it still looks great. Ideal for spring or fall.

Fun & Comfortable
The romper is made with a thick material that's really comfortable and flattering. The cut is darling but it did not work for my body. Every bra showed near the armpit and the style doesn't lend itself to exposed bralettes or similar; only an adhesive one would have worked but I don't own one. Although the material was thick and stretchy so it supported me without a bra after about an hour of wear it became too loose and I had zero support, which I don't find comfortable. The material does crease easily so after some time it's not as sleek. If I sized down then it would've been too tight on my hips so I was just out of luck. My torso was apparently also a little short to do it justice because I had to pull it down at the hips each time I got up otherwise the back bunched up a little. Otherwise a fantastic piece!
