Perfect Maternity Option!
I rented this for Christmas maternity photos and it fit like a dream! I'm 35 weeks in this photo but 100% belly. The dress has a lot of stretch so it accommodates the belly well while still fitting your upper body well. The belt is attached and hits right at the level of your bra, so it easily toes above the bump. There is a slit in the front to be aware of, but it wasn't a problem even on a windy day.

Super comfortable, very long
The length of these pants were way too long for me. Thankfully the silk material is really lightweight so I was able to use some hem tape to shorten them.

Perfect warm weather winter dress.
I rented this to wear for a work trip to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast but also wore it to a funeral. The sleeves of this dress are sheer which kept me from overheating in the warm Gulf coast winter heat. The gathering at the waist was extremely flattering. The coloring is somber enough that it's funeral appropriate, but the butterflies add a nice happy pop.

It's a must rent!
I LOVED wearing this sweater!! It's your RTR dream - something I'd never purchase in a store, otherwise would never wear, received a million compliments and now wish I owned it! The sweater is a crop top. It hit me right at the waist line of my higher waisted jeans. I wore a navy tank under it so that when I lifted my arms you didn't see my stomach. The sleeves were a good length (I've noticed they tend to run long on me).

Fun flowing skirt - pairs wells a a tshirt or sweater depending on weather.
I ended up wearing this skirt twice. At home I wore it with a navy cashmere sweater and booties then on vacation I paired it with a t-shirt and wedges. It looked great both ways! The waist is draw string so you can adjust the fit. The length was more tea length (mid calf) on me so I felt the need to wear heels to add height. The fabric is thin and more suited for warm weather, but it was fine for dinner and a comedy show in colder weather.

This just got me weird and wasn't flattering.
I really wanted this to look good on me but couldn't make it work. The fabric is thin and unforgiving. It highlighted the roll of fat/skin on my back where my bra stops and the front cutout hit right where my skin folds when I sit down. If I took my bra off the weird fat roll went away but my nipples were visible through the fabric. It was also way too long for my height.

Perfect vacation day to night outfit!
I rented this for my birthday trip to Key West. The jumpsuit was a very comfortable cotton and was a dream to wear all day. During the day I paired it with sandals and at night threw on some heels for a slightly more dressed up look. The neckline is a lower scoop neck. My strapless bra was fine most of the time, but would become visible depending on the angel/how I was sitting.

Very fitted across the stomach and hips
This dress fit great everywhere but the stomach and hips, which usually isn't an issue for me. It was tight enough that it wasn't comfortable standing and I'd never be able to sit. I'd suggested going up a size. The shoulder straps are adjustable (you tie them up) so you'd be able to adjust the length and arm holes.

Excellent Holiday Party Coat!
I rented this to wear to several Christmas parties. It's very warm and made a great addition to my holiday outfits. I wish I had gotten the small. Everything about the jacket was just a little too big (not much though). Considering I wasn't planning on wearing anything bulky sizing up (like I normally do for jackets) wasn't necessary.

Excellent cocktail dress!
I wore this to my husband's office Christmas party. When the dress arrived, it was a little more formal than I was expecting (hence the sweater) but gorgeous nonetheless. The dress was fitted and thick enough in the bust that I didn't feel the need to wear a bar. The neckline wouldn't have worked with my strapless bra so a sticky bra or cup inserts would have been my option. While the dress is fitted, I had plenty of room across my hips and stomach to sit comfortably and enjoy my meal.

Perfect 30th Birthday Jumpsuit!!
This outfit was so comfortable! I'm 5'4" and the length was perfect (I wore 3" heels but could have done flats). The neckline is a DEEP, but has a class that joins it together. I was able to turn my sticky bra upward so it didn't show - every other bra option was visible. I'd rent this again in a heart beat!

Soft, super warm thick winter sweater
This sweater is thick and soft, but not scratchy. I rented it for a work trip when the weather called for 20* and snow. The sweater kept me very warm. It's easy to pack and fold nicely. It was long enough on me to wear with leather leggings. The sleeves were very long on me so I had to cuff the end. The diagonal seam took a few minutes to get used to - it felt like my bra strap was falling down for a while.

I rented these to try something new and loved it! They were great to throw on after a day at the pool or for something quick and easy to wear to brunch or dinner.

Perfect everyday summer or vacation bag!
I used this bag everyday for a month! I was obsessed! The top has a mirror - need I say more?! It fits a surprising amount of items (my iPhone, wallet, key, glasses case and Kindle!). The flip top was great for combining my work bag and purse into one for the plane.

Super fun, easy versatile dress
I'm 5'4 and this dress was on the long side with flats. It was a better length with a heeled sandals, but had to be gathered to go up/down stairs. The neckline is adjustable with a drawstring like tie in the front. The dress has a ton of volume so I recommend sizing down if you like things more fitted. I wore the dress to a backyard BBQ, work, and a girl's happy hour. The 70's vibe was fun and I got many compliments.

Rent it! You won't regret your decision!
What can I not say about this dress? The wrap style is so flattering, the material is light weight, and highly flattering. The sleeves easily fit in a cardigan for those cold AC offices. After work it easily transitions for happy hours or date night. It would also be perfect for a casual wedding. I wore the dress to fly across the country for work. It was comfortable but it does wrinkle after hours of sitting.

Waist was a little loose
These shorts were super cute and comfortable! The waist was a little on the loose side, but they fit alright enough to wear. I sized up since most of the RTR clothing fits tighter than my normal department stores...not in this case.

Perfect Little Black Bag!
This was the perfect little bag for a wedding. It fit my iPhone, lip gloss and key easily. The bag has slots for credit cards/ID and cash so you don't have to worry about fitting you wallet inside or losing your cards. It even has a little zipper pocket that was perfect for holding extra Bobby pins and a hair tie.

Upscale sexy & form fitting.
I rented this dress for a wedding and ultimately didn't wear it. The dress is much tighter than I'm used to and I just didn't feel comfortable wearing it. The colors are gorgeous and the fabric and construction is a great quality. While the dress was very fitted, the thicker material gave it a more upscale sexy feel.

Unique enough to stand out but won't upstage the wedding party.
This dress is everything! I was a little worried it would be too over the top of a wedding but the lace and colors aren't as intense as I was expecting. I got lots of compliments but didn't feel like I was upstaging the bride or wedding party (even if we were slightly overdressed). The ruffle at the bottom is so fun! The 6 fit perfectly! The bust was a little big, but that likely could have been fixed with a bra. The top around my neck was a little itchy.

A little tight in the rib cage
This dress wasn't quite right for my event. It is a beautiful color and the lace is gorgeous. However, the 6 wouldn't zip over my rib cage.

Beautiful dress - way too long!
I rented this dress as an option for a wedding. I lived the way the dress fit my torso and through my hips. However, the dress was way too long for my 5'4" height.

Great NYE dress!
This dress was very comfortable. We attended a formal dinner before heading to a party. I was able to sit comfortably, eat tons of delicious food and still feel comfortable in this dress. I especially like that the skirt was sequins but the top was lace. I hate getting all scratched up on my arms.

A Fun and Flirty LBD
I wore this dress to a bachelorette party. I wish a "small and a half" was a size - the small was a bit short and tight but the medium felt almost too loose. That being said this dress was so comfortable!!! I also think you could get away without wearing a bra.

Perfect pop of color!
I had to wear a solid black dress for a bachelorette party and this bag was the perfect pop of color for someone who needs those bright happy colors! My iPhone, lip gloss, keys and cards all fit inside. I have quite a large wallet, but this bag would fit a money clip or credit card size wallet with those necessary items. There was no zip pocket.

The sleeves are amazing but insanely tight!
I wore this dress to a wedding shower. I typically wear a 4 or 6 from RTR but sized up based on reviews. I'm so glad I decided to go with the 8! I felt like the sleeves on the 6 were WAY too tight on my arms. When I put my hand on my hips the whole dress moved up so the collar gaped really bad and my butt would peak out. The 8 didn't have any of these problems (the whole dress does move with your arms but it was a little longer)

Th back of this dress is stunning!
This dress was amazing! The back strap detaches to give it some sex appeal. The 6 was too tight in the bust for me to wear the strap, but it covered my bra. The dress has thick enough material and seaming I felt 100% comfortable going without one.

Perfect Dress for Wedding and Engagement Photos
I rented this dress for engagement photos and ended up wearing it all night to the wedding we attended. The shirt is super fun for dancing and it has pockets!! I rented a 4 and 6 but wish I had a 6 and 8. I typically wear a 6 from RTR and the bust of this dress was on the tight side with a bra. The material is thick enough you can get away without one.

I was afraid they would be heavy but they were surprisingly light. I wore these NYE 13
These ear rings are just right. Not too heavy or big, Subtle enough not to all all the attention, but enough of a statement when not wearing a necklace. Loved them!

Everyone loved this necklace. I won the award for best jewelry!
The necklace falls right below the collar bone. I was worried that it might be heavy, but it wasn't.

I loved wearing this dress! All my sorority sisters thought it was absolutely amazing. It's Lilly without being over the top and perfect for so many occasions. I thought I would need a 4 but the 6 fit perfectly! It has ribbing which helps keep the dress from sliding down.
