Workout pants
Awesome workout pants. They are lightweight compared to the other Michi I own and have rented. I consider them a summer weight pants. These also have the same stretch and performance as the others. I really liked them.
Cadence Leggings
MICHI
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Cute dress, beautiful print
I liked that this is lightweight cotton and an ombré animal print. Very trendy and cool colors. Plus it has pockets. Perfect for a pear shape like me.

Workout top was ok
I love Michi leggings but this too didn't fit me as well. I rented the large, I should have sized down to be more snug. The idea of the top is interesting. This is out of my comfort zone so perhaps if it were more snug I would have liked it better. You could use this for yoga or light workouts with the built in bra.
Long Sleeve Primal Crop Top

Michi Leggings are the best!
These are the Michi pants I know and love. Amazing hold in the waist and a slimming effect. The venting is a nice design and functional as it helps cool you down. I have it 4/5 stars because it was longer than I expected. Still looked nice but was enough to be noticeable.
Inversion Leggings
MICHI
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10

Great leggings, thicker material
These are awesome leggings. I liked the pattern and texture. I didn't wear it for a workout but feel as though it would hold up during a workout. It was perfect for lounging. The material is thicker than regular gym material which is good for cooler weather. I would recommend these.
Techtonic Leggings
LNDR
Size Worn: M-L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Pretty print, long length
This is a pretty dress. I like the print, the sleeve detail, and button down with tie waist. Also it has pockets! The dress is great but it's longer than I would have wanted it to be. It fits great on my pear shape.
Gabrielle Maxi
Borgo de Nor
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Good for Lounge, Not for Gym
I liked the feel and look of these pants but they did not hold up during a workout. They immediately folded over. Having a fitted and controlled waistband is an important function for me. This pant did not have that. There is a tie waist but I'm not a fan of tying it. I would wear these for a walk or to lounge around though.
Paint Splatter Leggings
Lululemon
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10

Love these leggings!
Michi makes the best leggings I have ever worn. Immediately after trying these I felt the difference from my regular workout clothes. The waistband is amazing, it holds you in and stays in place when I went for a run or during my HIIT exercises. The fabric moves with you and holds its shape. The pattern is loud and super fun too!
Leopard Verve Leggings
MICHI
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Fun dress!
This is a fun, flirty dress with a lot of fabric. It's light-weight and kinda like a parachute material. It's low cut and would be perfect for the beach to wear a swimsuit under it. It's a statement piece for sure and you should rent it to try it out! The dress also has great movement, you can swing it around and have fun with it. Would be good for any body type as it's only fitted at the top. Could be maternity wear too.
Striped Meadow Maxi
Staud
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
One of my fav rentals!
Who doesn't love #TanyaTaylor! Her prints are gorgeous, the fit is amazing, I just love this dress. The only thing I would change is the low front, I would prefer not to wear a cami and have the top more fitted. But I consider this a daytime dress so I didn't mind. This is also a faux wrap as there is a side zipper. The tie does go around your waist to have that wrap style look. I prefer a faux wrap to a real wrap any day. I found it flattering for my pear shape and it would work for any shape.
Liza Wrap Dress
Tanya Taylor
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Cute but not flattering
The print is what drew me to this rental. I love the different patterns and the easy breeze attitude of this dress. I saw the tie waist and thought that would make it flattering but even when pulled it didn't make the dress flattering on my pear shape. There is a lot of fabric, it's lightweight fabric but makes it poofy. It's a rental so try it anyway, perhaps you can make it work for you!
Tarahumara Maxi
CAROLINA K
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Gorgeous watercolor- like print
This dress is true to size, I sized up but should have stayed with my size 10. I was concerned about the waist but it had space. The sleeves are long but not constricting, they are sheer and have nice movement. The length was correct for me and my 3 inch heels. The flow of the dress is so nice, the dress is light and hangs perfectly. It would be so nice to wear to a wedding, bridal shower, or any other event. I highly recommend it.
Confetti Isabel Maxi
SALONI
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Loved this dress!
The material has a nice weight that makes it very flattering. The tie neck is adjustable so you can make it as fitted or loose as you choose. The pink is a pretty color and it has a great sheen to it. I highly recommend it.
Wild Tulip Mindy Dress
Leota
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Unflattering top
The dress is very unflattering. The top bunches all around top top including the back. This dress isn't flattering on my pear shape. Perhaps it's better for someone who is tall and slender. Then it might fit like it did ok the model.
Blue Floral Mock Neck Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: NONE

Amazing jumpsuit, love the tie bow detail
This is a great jumpsuit. I decided to size up as it was my first jumpsuit from Lilly, but I should have ordered my true size 10. It still fit, just a little loose. I love the print, the length, the fabric. It comes with a waist tie that shows as secured at the back, but I preferred it as a front tie so styled it that way.

Nila Jumpsuit
Lilly Pulitzer
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Low cut and tight in the waist
This dress is very pretty but it's very fitted for a Pear shape like me and very low cut. There is a lot of cleavage with this dress. I found the distance between the waist and the top to be too long so it didn't sit well on my shape.
Multi Floral Printed Midi Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Amazing Dress for Easter!
I rented this dress for Easter at home and it was perfect. The dress runs large so size down a size. The neckline is gorgeous, the print is beautiful. This was my first Tanya Taylor and it was perfect. I would rent this again for a real event.
Printed Ella Dress
Tanya Taylor
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Ok Jumpsuit
The fabric and print of this jumpsuit are gorgeous. I found the leg width very wide so it didn't feel as flattering on me and made me feel bigger in this outfit. Perhaps I should have sized down and the top was also loose.
Jess Jumpsuit
Hutch
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Gorgeous jumpsuit!
This is one of my favorite jumpsuits that I've rented. Besides the buttons being hard to put on and off, the print is gorgeous, the bow tie is cute, and the sleeves and ruffles are a nice detail. I sized up to make sure I had room, I would recommend sizing up if you are a pear shape or curvy.
Multi Floral Olivia Jumpsuit
Banjanan
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Beautiful print!
This is a gorgeous print, the silk feels luxurious, and the wrap style is cute. However the length is on the shorter side for me so it didn't feel flattering. Perhaps I should have sized up as when I walked it did move up.
Puff Sleeve Wrap Top
Les Reveries
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Absolutely stunning!
This is the perfect rental, it's a jumpsuit, it's a dress, you have the best of both worlds. The fit is so flattering, the jumpsuit portion is comfy and not restrictive, the legs are not too wide or too skinny. The overlay is so pretty, I like this combination. I highly recommend it for fellow pear shapes, would also be great for a curvy, athletic figure. Check out my other pics on Instagram: renttherunwayfashionista

Amazing jumpsuit!
I couldn't be happier with this jumpsuit! I loved the color, the lace, the adjustable straps. The legs were not too wide or too fitted. It was perfect for my pear shape. I highly recommend it for curvy, hourglass, or pear shaped ladies!
Lily Jumpsuit
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Amazing jumpsuit!!
This is a must rent item! The print was great, the material was stretchy, it cinched my waist in the right spot, plus the zipper at the front made it versatile. I would rent this again for an outing, I loved it!
The Zippy Ankle Jumpsuit
MOTHER
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Very small, impossible to fit into.
The jeans have almost no stretch. I couldn't get the jeans on therefore didn't wear it. They were my size but there was no way I could fit into it. Would need at least 2 sizes larger. This is a better fit for someone who is slender and not a pear shape like me.

Great quality, nice message on sweater
This is a great sweater, the fit is perfect, the color is nice. I liked the yellow heart and the words on the back. The sweater does keep you warm and would be great for layering. I like the fitted look of the sweater. I highly recommend it.
Heart Graphic Sweater
Victor Alfaro x RTR
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Boxy fit
This top was larger than I expected and shorter. The fit wasn't flattering on me. It's a boxy style and I prefer a more fitted look.
As If Plaid Sweatshirt
Terez
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Nice print but thin material
The pants were thinner than I expected them to be. Once I put them on the pattern stretched out and lost the deep hue. They looked faded. I also rented the matching top so there was a clear contrast. I think is better suited for someone who is leaner and any stretch in this fabric would lead to the faded look.
As If Plaid Tall Band Leggings

Awesome graphic, great fit
This was a great sweater, I loved the graphics on the front and back. The length was good too as o prefer it to be a little longer so I don't have to readjust often. I would recommend this one for anyone. Great for brunch, casual Friday, etc.
Hope Graphic Sweater
Victor Alfaro x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Fun print and nice top
Off the hangar the top seemed really large, but when I put it on it was roomy but not overly big. There isn't much shape to the bodice part, the sleeves are really poofy. It's a statement top for sure. I liked wearing it and would recommend sizing down if you wanted it to be more fitted. I liked it with jeans, you could wear this to work too with black pants. It's comfy for all day wear.

Unexpected pleasure
This was such a fun jacket. I ordered it no particular reason and really liked it. The fit was nice, the sleeves were so interesting. I would recommend this.
Varsity Faux Fur Bomber
Harvey Faircloth
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Nice print, ok fit
I'm a pear shape so the fit is more snug at the waist and the thighs, I needed up wearing these higher and wore it with a longer shirt. Otherwise it would have looked fitted at the top and then loose at the bottom. The length of the pants is on the shorter side too. These pants would be better suited for a thinner body type than a curvy one.
Cats Out Of The Bag Pants
BB Dakota

Fun shirt that fits well
I never would have ordered this except to take this picture for my obsession with Tiger King. The shirt was a pleasant surprise, it had a great fit, I liked the shorter sleeves. Would be a great casual- muted statement shirt.

Love this jacket!
I really loved this jacket. The camp print, the strong zippers, the pockets, I really enjoyed wearing it. It was warm, would have loved Sherpa on the inside too.
Camo Faux Sherpa Flight Jacket
Alpha Industries
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Boxy fit
I love Tory Burch so always renting her stuff. This sweater was ok, it's sweatshirt material, has a high-low cut and it boxy. I should have dozed down for a better fit. It's not made to be form fitting so it depends on what you prefer.
French Terry Chevron Hoodie
Tory Sport
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Gorgeous dress
I really liked this dress, it was great as you could still wear one strap on a bra, the fit was flattering, the pattern was recognizable for the brand. The dress is lightly lined and so pretty. Would be great for a special occasion, you could dance all night in this dress too!
Rilievo Sleeveless Dress
Missoni
Size Worn: 46R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Awesome jumpsuit
This was my first time ever wearing a jumpsuit and I loved it! I sized up as I'm a pear shape and the fit was good in the legs and thighs. The top was a little loose as a result but not noticeable or uncomfortable. I would rent this again for an event. I think it would even look great with a button-down underneath or sweater for work.
Mead Jumpsuit
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 12R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 5"
Pretty patterned dress
The dress was ok, the bottom half was nice and flattering. The cross neck didn't sit well in me. Perhaps I should have sized down for a more fitted feel. I think the dress is better suited for taller women where the cross neck Wouk sit better.

Nice party dress
I wore this at home as a work from home dress during corona. I would wear this again for a special occasion, the color, the fit is a classic.

Loved these jeans!
These were the perfect jeans, they fit well, stayed in place, looked great and were a little long which I liked as they were versatile so you could wear heels with them. Highly recommend for my pear shape. Very flattering.
