Strange pattern
Beautiful colors and perfect fit that was true to size. Surprisingly, not too long but just right. Swirl patterns right over the chest area limit the settings in which this could be worn.

Awkward neckline
I wanted to like this, but found it hard to wear with any bra in my drawer. Fit was true to size.

Nice color and material; unflattering fit
If you really like puffy sleeves, this may be for you. I found it to be overwhelming and unflattering on my frame. I have broad shoulders already and this top made me look like a linebacker. Quality and material were all good; just not a style that worked for me.

Great romper with one fatal flaw!
I love rompers and feel like they are really flattering to my body type. I love the color of this one, which is the same in reality as it is in the photos. The fabric is high quality and it is well made - and it shows. The down side is the self-belt. It is so long that it's impractical and annoying, and frankly, takes too long to arrange and un-arrange for bathroom visits. I would have bought it if not for that.

Basic work dress
This dress fit true to size, but has some awkward folds and bulges once the tie at the waist is tied. Color is pretty and looks like it does in the photos. I found that the look was really humdrum on its own and that it would need accessories or maybe a jacket to make it more interesting. It is otherwise very basic.

Basic everyday sweater
This sweater had a comfortable fit, not too tight, and not too lose. Cowl neck as shown in the photo. Color is more like teal. Definitely a casual item that would be hard to dress up.

Pretty dress with some caveats!
This dress is made of a nicely draping fabric that doesn't wrinkle easily. The pattern is unique, and the colors are beautiful, just as shown, and make the dress a standout. However, I found that I had to choose between pinning the top closed or wearing a camisole because it would otherwise be way too revealing for work (or anywhere else, probably!). I chose the camisole, because pinning can sometimes look a little messy. It was just ok - it looks so much nicer on the model in the photo without the camisole. You have to stand just so for it to look like that, though - it is just unmanageable to wear it without something underneath. I was a little disappointed by that. If that hadn't been the case, I'd wear it again.

Nice, unique pants great for work
These were very flattering pants in a beautiful dark green color. What I liked most about these was that they are not your average pants. The buttons in the front, and the cropped legs with slits, make these a standout. I'm a little surprised by the less-than-stellar reviews. I liked them so much I'd almost buy them. I'm still thinking about it, and at the very least, would rent them again. A note for anybody who considers items with French sizing: if you are a US size 4, I highly recommend a French 38. I don't think that if you let RTR select the French equivalent automatically, they will get it right - go for the 38.

Nice, fashionable white jeans.
I really liked the relaxed fit of these pants. I wore them a few times during a holiday trip to Florida. They are great for everyday wear in a warm climate!

Pretty jacket for dressing up or down, but wrinkles easily
I sized up per the recommendation of other reviewers and wore a 6. It was a roomy fit, but not overly. The cream color and gray-blue pinstripe were lovely in person and more subtle than they look in the photo - I really liked this. It is not just cream with a black stripe. The light linen blend material has a nice drape but wrinkles very, very easily. I would have wanted to keep it, except that the collar had too much material for me, and tended to fold outward horizontally in the front.

The cut is awkward for my figure; I did not wear.
The heavy material is clearly high quality and it has a nice drape. The gold hardware makes the design a standout; without the hardware, it would be a pretty plain wrap skirt. I found that the skirt was much too big around the hips for me. I have a somewhat athletic figure. 4 is my usual size. This sat comfortably just below my navel, but bulged out a bit around my hips. On account of this, I found it too unflattering to wear. I would consider renting it again in a smaller size. If you are curvier, it might work perfectly for you. If you have narrow hips, you may want to size down.

This jacket was much more casual than I expected it to be based on the photos. I did not wear it.
When I first saw the photo of this jacket, it looked like it would be great to wear to work, but it was a bit too casual for that. The material is stretchy and resembles colored denim. There was nothing wrong with it, I just struggled to find something to wear with it, since it was not what I expected. I wore my usual size 4 which I think was a good fit for me. It was snug around the shoulders and arms (I do have broad shoulders). The most significant thing to note here is that this is really a casual jacket because of the material, and not really business casual as was my initial impression. The color is a very pretty Army green. If I had something better to wear with it, I'd consider re-renting.

I felt like I was wearing the prettiest dress at the black tie gala I attended on Friday (9/21).
This is a beautiful gown and the photos online are accurate. I ordered it initially as my backup dress, but ended up liking it more than the one I'd picked as my first choice. I liked it and felt pretty wearing it, but the fit was a little odd - I wonder if for this dress I am really between sizes - obviously a no-win situation! Pros: - black and gold lace is very elegant and the material looks and feels high-quality - even in the regular length I was able to wear fairly low heels, which I loved because I HATE wearing high heels. This made the whole evening much more livable! - I am a small A-cup and the built-in bustier in this dress gave me a nice shape without requiring that I wear a bra. I even filled out the dress, which can sometimes be a problem. This was the main factor in my decision to wear this dress instead of the one I'd chosen as my "plan A" dress! - Fit comfortably around the waist and hips; allowed freedom of movement without being too tight (but see note below) Cons: - I have an athletic figure am wide across the back. This is where the dress was really tight, so much so that it forced me to have perfect posture the whole night. - The fit was a little odd. It was perfect in the waist and hips, but too tight around the back and chest. The 6 might have fit around my back and would then have been too big around the waist! - The 4 hook-and-eye closures in the corset portion, plus a zipper, were impossible to close on my own - particularly since the dress was so tight on me in that area - the black satin sagged down below the level of the lace at the bottom of the dress and I had to pin it up a couple of inches

I liked these earrings and felt that they complemented my black gown well.
These earrings were very pretty and very much as they look in the photos online. However, they are quite large. I would estimate they are 2 inches long by a bit over an inch wide. This was larger than I expected based on the photos. They are also a little heavy. They were fine for my relatively short event, but might be uncomfortable for something longer. I think the key is that what you see is what you get with these earrings, for the most part - just be aware that they're BIG!
