I wore this for Valentine's Day, and my hubby loved! I got a lot of compliments, and would definitely rent again. As expected the sleeves were too long for me (but this always happens with every jacket).

This is much prettier in person. The fabric looks like shiny leather. It's not too heavy so can be worn year round. It can be worn casually as I did or it can be dressed up. I'm trying to upload more than 1 photo to show the back. 

Ran a bit small for me - usually wear a size 8. Was very fitted and looked great with plain black dress.

Rented this for a fancy work holiday party. I wanted something that was flashier than normal but not unprofessional - and this delivered! It is almost a copper metallic color with a stitched pattern. Light weight, but structured at the same time. Gave a nice silhouette over a black shift dress.   Also wore for a night out with black t and jeans. Highly recommended. 

Great jacket! It is a bit shiny but I still wore it to work and received so many complements. It's a statement piece for sure. I also wore it for a girls night out to dinner with faux leather pants and it paired perfectly. Well made and another beautiful RTR option!

This is the perfect day to night blazer!  The color is so unique and interesting.  I am wearing a size 6 in the photo.  I am usually a size 4 so I recommend going a size up because it does run a little small. The blazer is great for any bust size and is not fitted in the waist.  I am a 36D and felt very comfortable in it. This blazer can be work with a black dress and heels for a night out.  This blazer will take your outfit from simple to chic!  

I wore this for a keynote speech. I wore a plain black dress underneath and had a similar look to the model. It was comfortable, really cool color, and is great if you'd like to stand out in a sea of black, grey, and tan Blazers. I received lots of compliments. 

Wore this to a girls wine night - friends loved it! Fit was an issue as I am petite had to double cuff the sleeves but I thought it looked ok. Fit well around the body but felt snug in the arms maybe should have gone up a size but I have kind of bigger muscular arms. Very fun and a bit of a purple cast needs something simple underneath 

Runs small like they say but I loved loved it and received compliments all night!

Fits wonderful. Warm. Not good for summer nights.

The blazer really makes an outfit on its own. It is more brown bronze than it looked to me in picture. I wore it to a seminar at a country club with heavy air conditioning so kept jacket on.  Got comments on its unusual appearance. Great piece to rent as wouldn't want to wear too often. 

great blazer! added a bit of shine to a basic black dress

I was trying to decide between 6 and 8.. I ended up ordering the 6 b/c the reviews say it runs big.. The 6 is way to big on me too. Should've ordered the 4! The 6 I couldn't wear w/o looking messy. Pretty blazer though. Looks darker, like black behind the bronze detail. Beautiful! 

I paired this with the rent the runway donna karen piano key dress for a work event.  The look was professional, polished and looked expensive!  I have a longer torso and this blazer hit perfectly by my hip bone.  

This jacket is more bronze than it appears in the picture.

I usually wear a size 0 in Victoria's secret blazers and a small or 2 in others. This one was huge on me, the sleeves were pretty long and the waist and sholders seemed larger than usual. I wish I had gotten the 0!

I was going to wear this to work, however it is much shinier and more purple than the photo. Other commenters said it was bronze. Perhaps there is variation between jackets as mine was definitely purple. It didn't really work for the office but would be great over a black dress or black leather pants for night time. The 0 was nice and tight on me (I like snug, fitted jackets as they look more feminine) and the length was a little longer than a normal jacket but nice. 

I am broad shoulder so I did not end being able to wear this jacket. But it was very pretty! More purple than I thought it was going to be. 

Got this in an Unlimited shipment.  The fabric is heavy, shiny purple brocade, which I loved.  But, it was too much for work or date night.  Really wanted to wear this but couldn't figure out an occasion, so I sent it back to get a new Unlimited choice.  Maybe good for a business cocktail party, but I didn't have one of those coming up soon.


The color is more bronze than silver. It's cute, but it doesn't look like the picture. 

I like the metallic, but the fabric was a bit too stiff for me, and not causal enough for my work place.

I wanted so much to love this blazer, but upon trying it on, it was HUGE on me.  The cut of the blazer seems more of a man cut than a women's, so if you wanted to pair this with a tighter dress, I would recommend sizing down below your normal size to try and get some sort of a silhouette with it.  In addition, the color was more of a purple-ish metallic, as opposed to a pewter, which wasn't what I was looking for.  The pattern is great, and the blazer is high quality, but the fit just didn't work out.

This jacket is quite bulky and is not the same color as the picture. It is a bronze/brown type of color. It is definitely unique and pretty, but not like what is pictured. I would not order again.

Fit was true to size; paired with black jumpsuit.  Would definitely rent both again.

This fir perfectly - I wore it over a black dress with black boots.  I received many compliments and the pewter color really complimented my pale skin and red hair.  It was fun without being too flashy!

This blazer has amazing, intricate detail.  It's subtle, yet striking.  The photo does not do it justice.  It easily pairs with a dress, or can be dressed casually with black skinnies.  It's one of those clothing pieces that just makes you feel strong when you wear it.

Fit true to size. Wore it unbuttoned over a tight black dress. 

very pretty, fits great. can go with so much stuff

This blazer is beautifully made and fit me perfectly I really liked it other then the fabric is quite dramatic it looks kind of like bronze leather but it has a little bit of a tapestry feel to it. I wore it with a black turtleneck and black leather pants and it had a very rock 'n' roll look to it I think it would also be really beautiful for a holiday party. I think it's really more of an evening piece it's quite dressy looking when you get home but again really beautifully made with a nice tailored fit.

Working at a financial institution, it definitely is a little louder than I would typically wear. But it was perfect to wear when I had an evening cocktail reception. Works for day or night. I agree with other commenters that it has a slight copper hue which is not shown in photo.

I felt like Liberace in this -so fun to wear.  Unique fabric and flattering cut. 

This blazer worked perfectly for me to wear to my husband's holiday party. I wore it over top of a black Herver Leger dress. I have a very straight figure, so it flared out a little at my hips, but was not too much of an issue as it gave a little shape to the outfit. Like other reviewers said, it does have a little more of a purple sheen to it than is shown in the RTR pictures, but I still thought the metallic look was very festive. I received many compliments, and enjoyed wearing it! My only complaint was that the lining of the sleeves kept slipping down a little so it showed beyond the cuff. I wouldn't count on rolling the sleeves up, FYI.

More purple in person than in the picture. Cute with black pants for a night out.

I wanted to love it, but the material was odd, and for someone who likes sparkle, I wasn't a fan. 

fine jacket. A little too old for me once I saw it in person.

I could see wearing this with leather leggings in the fall or winter, but it's a really difficult match for summer or spring. The fabric is much more purple/plum, with a metallic tapestry thing going on. The fit was good, but I didn't like the look, so just returned it to RTR without wearing it.
