Unique and stylish!
The pattern on this shirt is so unique and really gets attention in all the right ways! Satiny and perfect for work. Can be dressed down with jeans. Very comfortable, but stylish.

Casual chic!
I received a lot of compliments on these pants. They we were cute paired with a dressier satin green shirt. Definitely wear pointed shoes with these as they are wide-legged. Comfortable, but stylish and perfect for work into evening.

Sparkly elegance!
The dress fit comfortably, but the zipper was really hard to zip up. Not that it was snug, the zipper was sticky. I am 5'4", so this required 2 inch heels to ensure the bottom of the dress wouldn't skim the ground. It was flattering and hid my pudgy midsection, so a great dress if you have a little more to love in the middle.

Powerfully Noticeable!
This dress was perfect to hide mid-area pudge! I received many compliments on the dress and was told I made this dress "Tik Tok famous"! I wore it on a 95 degree day and it was comfy, but it made me feel confident, so much so that I was able to speak before a crowd of 20,000 people! I actually regret not keeping this dress because I wore it five times in the month it was rented. Definitely a comfy, chic dress for warm weather!

Casual with Fancy Sleeves
While I loved the idea of this shirt, I don't know what it is about tshirts right now, but the length is a bit short. I'm not even that tall! I wish it was about two inches longer in length. If you raise your arms up over your head, definite belly exposure.

The sleeves of this sweater were just a little long on me, but I am petite. The texture of the knit and the color help add flair to any outfit! I'm not a boss, but I sure felt like one wearing this! Comfortable, but structured.

This shirt really adds texture without heaviness and is great under a sweater or blazer! It was stretchy, so very forgiving.

Cozy warmth
The sweater was true to size and quite comfortable. The color scheme actually got a lot of double takes: Is it purple? Burgundy l? Brown? Blue? This made it a sweater I wanted to keep, but since it was brand new, it was ticket price, so maybe something I might consider renting again down the road.

Fancy femininity
I thought this was beautiful and sexy. I wore it with a long skirt and boots. This top is much more flattering on than in the pictures. It's body hugging, but I found the print helped conceal my muffin top.

I sized up from 6 to 8 and this skirt was snug, borderline couldn’t breathe. I loved the embroidery and ability to pair it with pretty much anything, but I would size up to a 10!

Beautiful, but meant for supermodel tall
It fit perfectly except for the length! I'm 5'4" and there was just so much fabric at the bottom because it was super long that I was tripping and getting caught on chairs. Beautiful dress though and it got a lot of compliments.

Cute, but Disappointed
I couldn’t zip up the zipper! It was a cute dress, but I’m glad I tried it on before my event. It was a little long, it fit around the waist, but once I got to mid back, the zipper was stuck. I sized up, normally I’m a 6, but chose an 8 to have a little room. It was unfortunate because I really liked it.

Comfy, but runs Large
The dress was super big on me, particularly up front. I’m a 34C and the front scooped so low that a strapless bra could be seen, but not wearing one would mean possible nipples slippage. Yes, plural nipples, not just one. It’s comfy, but I would size down.

These tortoise-toned earrings were super classy, but very heavy. They had backings that held them up, but know they are quite large and weighty. I received a lot of compliments on them.

Sexy Tuxedo-esque jumpsuit!
I really should have remeasured myself as it had been sometime since I've rented from RTR. The top portion of this outfit was looser than I expected, but the bottom half fit like a glove. I would recommend some double-sided garment tape to ensure no nip-slips! I loved wearing it as I felt sexy and powerful for an awards dinner. Great to get dressed up again! Thanks, RTR!

Effortless Elegance!
I loved this dress! The only problem was it was about two inches too long and I kept getting my heel caught in the bottom hem of the dress. I'm 5'4" and I wish I would've looked for the dress in petite. It definitely garnered some gasps! I felt like it made my arms look long and slender because the cut exposed my shoulders. It is duel toned, navy and black. If I were to borrow this dress again, I would probably invest in some platform heels versus stillettos.

Stylish Sophistication
I really loveseat how this jumpsuit looked as it tapered around the waist and created a nice silhouette. I am a bit petite, so the sleeves were a bit long on me, about two inches too long. The pant length was perfect though! Other than that the longish sleeves, I really felt comfortable and confident in this jumpsuit and would wear it again!

Perfect summer-y jumpsuit! I borrowed this jumpsuit for a 5th grade culmination ceremony as I am one of the fifth grade teachers. It was comfortable and classy, very professional! I would consider wearing this again for a daytime wedding. It concealed my mid-area well, but still made me look lean. I'm not quite in summer swimsuit mode yet, I've been enjoying too many tacos, so it was flattering for the in-between phase I'm in.

I could've fit a lot more in this clutch!
Although not a wide interior, I was able to fit a folded up fan, my car clicker, lip pencil and stick, iPhone 8 Plus, and my sunglasses when they were no longer needed! It also has some slots for your ID and credit cards!

Beautiful drop earrings to accentuate neckline
I thought the drop was actually rounded and expected a full drop shape, however it was just the front part of the earring was round. Still pretty regardless and went well with the dress I wore, but I would have liked to have seen the back of the earrings to have had a better idea of their shape. I'd rent them again.

Elegant, but I should've worn Spanx
The dress was comfy as many reviewers have said. I opted to not wear Spanx as many reviewers said that it wasn't necessary, but I felt the fabric wasn't as supportive as reviewers suggested. The dress was elegant, but I could've had a much more polished look had I worn my Spanx. Definitely something to keep in mind, but my hubby liked my butt in this dress!

Beautiful, but too large for petite ears!
As much as I thought these earrings were pretty, they were way too big for my ears! Also, they were a little too over the top for a work photo. They are definitely a statement piece, so if you want to draw attention to you face and neckline, these are the earrings for you! I probably would have been able to use them for a fancier occasion, but not for work.

Exudes Confidence and Power!
I absolutely loved this jumpsuit! The cut gave the impression I was curvier than I am and I received many compliments. It was selected for my annual class panorama photo. I teach elementary students, so I don't get to dress up too often for work. The only drawback of the jumpsuit is I had to do some major contortion to unzip the zipper at the back. If you know how long Teachers have to wait to go to the restroom, you can imagine how this could be problematic. Don't drink too much water or coffee wearing this stunner! However, if you're super flexible, you may have an easier time! People commented all day, "You're so fancy today! What's the occasion?" Just one of three days a year when I dress nicely and slap on some make up. Great for those who work in professional environments!

Foxy for a Disco-themed party!
This beautiful velour jumpsuit was so much cooler than it appears in the pictures. I wish I took photos, but I completely forgot! It was so comfy and was a bit longer than it appears on the model in the photo. I'm about 5'4" and the bottom hem was about two inches above my ankles. Still absolutely cute. I received many compliments and many people asked if it was vintage! I am definitely considering renting this again for another event...I just don't have any lined up just yet. It was sexy and fun!

Sparkly on a School Night!
This was a fun dress to wear, but it wasn't the bronzy gold I thought it was from it's pictures. The sequins were more silvery which wasn't a bad, but it wasn't what I was hoping. The dress garnered a lot of compliments and I felt very glamorous. I wore this to a fundraiser for kids that hosted some Hollywood heavy-hitters and A-listers, so I needed to make my school teacher self look like I was an A-lister. The dress definitely did that, but know that the dress is not the color it appears in the picture. I wore some Spanx to slink into this dress and smooth out my lovely lady lumps, so keep that in mind for this dress.

It was cute, but too small for an iPhone 8 Plus!
I was disappointed because the color of this clutch was slightly off from what I expected. I guess I expected more gold accent, but it was much more on the silvery side. It was far too small for an iPhone 8 Plus. Next time, I'll have to read the measurements a bit more closely.

Made me feel extra fancy and sparkly on a school night!
These earrings garnered a lot of oohs and ahhs! I wore them out on a school night (I'm a teacher) to attend a fund raiser and showcase for The Young Storytellers' Biggest Show at the Ace Theater in LA. Hollywood execs and movie stars like David Oyelowo and Olivia Munn, along with comics like Cedric the Entertainer, Bobby Moynihan, Whitney Cummings, and Will Forte were in attendance or performing on stage, so I had to bring my A-game glamour! Very cute and much lighter than I expected! I've never had the courage to wear chandelier earrings, but with Rent the Runway, there's no commitment to owning them, so it's like a revolving closet or jewels and dresses to dive in and play! And surprisingly, I really loved it!

It wasn't the clutch I wanted to rent, but it ended up being the clutch that was perfect!
I loved this clutch because it was edgy, yet elegant and classic. It held two lipsticks, a compact, my iPhone 8 Plus, some cash, a few credit cards, and I jammed in a lipstick sized charger. It managed to close after a little moving around of items. I ended up not needing the charger at all, so it might have been easier had I left that one item out.

Hubby said, "Who cares if we look better than the bride and groom!" We stole the show! Stunning!
The dress was elegant, sexy, and elongating. I'm 5'4" and I felt and looked Amazonian! The plunging neckline was dramatic, but the girls felt secure. I tried fashion tape to keep it from slipping, but turns out, it wasn't even necessary. I had many compliments! The dress is a bit on the heavy side, but it wasn't too bad. I wore two inch sandals and the length was perfect. I'm a little thick around the waist and thighs, so Spanx were essential. I sent photos to my friends while I was at the wedding and they didn't realize it was me at first. The look definitely stole the show! I would rent this again.

Showing My #Red4Ed Proudly!
This dress was perfect to show support for my union and #Red4Ed! I wore it on the first day back to school to welcome my new students. The dress was super cute and comfortable, but was a bit longer than it appeared in the website images. My legs are on the shorter side though. I wish it had been about two to three inches shorter and it would have been perfect. I received a ton of compliments. Definitely professional enough for the classroom!

Stylish Red4Ed Jumpsuit!
Now, I absolutely adored this jumpsuit. I selected a Medium which ran large. Luckily, I sized down to Small for my backup and it was perfect! I knew I was going to meet elected officials, so I wanted to look professional, wear Red4Ed, and look cute all in the process. I wish I had taken advantage of the fact I could adjust the straps, but I got dressed in the early morning hours darkness before my teacher's union conference. If you look in the photo, the straps became slouchy and that's my fault. I should have tried it on the night before and made the adjustments so it looked just right! I still received many compliments and people said it was a perfect outfit to wear on Red Tuesdays, the day teachers where red to show our union support throughout the school year. It's so cute, I almost didn't send it back. But alas, I did, so you can wear it!

Red4Ed and R-E-S-P-E-C-T was never so easy and super stylish with Rent-the-Runway!
I needed some red attire to attend my union conference weekend and Rent-the-Runway helped make it easy! I wore this cute number to our kickoff dinner and received many compliments! It was form fitting in the bodice and draped beautifully. I am a little thicker around the waist area, but I felt that the dress helped mask my imperfections. I'm on the petite end, so the dress was a bit longer than on the model, but it wasn't bad. In fact, it was probably better that I was demure vs. "hot for teacher hot" at my teacher union conference. Several people said, "That's a great dress for Red Tuesdays!" Indeed. I wanted to keep it!
