Great color; short sleeves
I liked this blazer a lot, but the sleeves looked a bit silly on me. On the model, the sleeves hit right below the elbow. On me (granted, I'm pretty tall) they hit right above the elbow, throwing the proportions off.

Warm and chic
I loved this. I love the cut - it's a great balance between a masculine/menswear kind of look and feminine details (like the dropped shoulders and the slits in the sleeves). The weight was perfect for a chilly fall day! It does run a little large. I typically wear a size 8 or 10 and the large was generous fit on me - I probably could have sized down to a medium.

Fun summer top
I liked this so much I kept it for over a month and wore it multiple times. I probably could have gotten away with a medium, but I really liked the loose, boxy look of the large. Great for hot weather.

Simple but stylish
I loved this dress! The material is on the thicker side, which gives it a nice structure and a subtle sheen. It's a tad dressy (and hot) for daytime wear, but perfect for a lowkey date night. Someone had actually shortened the straps on mine, which was probably for the best. They definitely would have been long otherwise.

Cute and comfortable!
These are flattering, comfortable (softer than expected), and fun! I love the tucan print! Fair warning though - I'm a pretty standard size 10 in most pants, and the XL was a perfect fit. I think anyone size 12 or above would find these too tight

Fun print, tight arm hole
I liked this, but I found the the arms a little uncomfortable. The problem may have been the sleeve length - I have long arms, so the sleeves didn't comfortably reach below my elbows (they way they do on the model). That meant I mostly wore them above the elbow, where the arm hole was a little tight. Still, I was a fan of the print and the wrap design. It looked great with high-waisted black pants.

Fun color, cool shape
I like this a lot! I'd say it runs a touch big - I have broad shoulders, and my usual size 10 was a little wide in the shoulders even for me. Even so, I loved the drape of this lightweight blazer and the fun pop of color. Perfect for spring!

bathrobe (and not in a good way)
I should have believed the other reviews: this really does look like a bathrobe. I might have been able to forgive its shapelessness if it was extra cozy - but it is not. The material is thin, flimsy, and not particularly warm. The color is beautiful; I just wish the shape and fabric were nicer.

holy shoulder pads!
For some reason, I didn't realize this had shoulder pads when I selected it. I like a good poofy sleeve, but this was just too much - I think you'd need to have a really slender build to pull off this look. It just looked clownish on me.

Gorgeous fabric, cool fit
I loved this! It's a beautiful, heavy silk, which holds its shape well. The fit is purposefully boxy - it looks great with high-waisted, slim-fitting pants.

Strange, unforgiving fit
This didn't work for me. On the one hand, the 10 was a little wide; on the other, nothing seemed to hit in the right place. I'm tall, and the ruching - which I think should start around the hips - started too high up on me. It's the sort of dress that could look amazing if it fits you just right, but it's totally loses it's shape if it's not precisely tailored to your figure.

Easy, cool
I loved this! Wrap dresses can be boring, but the fun print and slightly puffed sleeves keep this one interesting. Note, it's quite long (a great length for winter) and very low cut (I pinned it).

pretty, comfortable, and a little shapeless
I liked this a lot! I rented it to wear for a New Year's Eve Zoom party and wound up wearing it a couple of other times too. The print is beautiful (note - I thought the background would be black but it's actually a navy blue). It's a little shapeless, but the drawstring keeps it from looking too frumpy. It's very comfortable - perfect for one of those days when you want to look/feel a little fancy while working from home.

Beautiful and striking top
I loved this! The color is beautiful and the material has this great, lustrous quality. I was worried the ruffles would be too much (I've got broad shoulders and a large bust, so I don't like things that are too fussy) but they're well placed and flattering. My only slight complaints are that the top is a little short and I needed to pin the bust to make it work-appropriate.

Perfect animal print
I'm generally not a big fan of animal prints (too loud for my taste) but I loved this! The colors are subtle and the print is understated. I liked the fit too - slouchy through the body with long, close-fitting sleeves. A note for petites: you may want to size down or skip this sweater entirely. I'm tall and I generally wear a size 10 in tops. I found the medium to be generously sized and the perfect length, but it might overwhelm someone with a smaller frame.

Perfect for dressing up a Zoom celebration
I love these! The color is vibrant and the length is perfect - long enough to be eye catching, but not so long that they get in your way. I wore these for a couple of Zoom celebrations around the holidays. They definitely helped dress up my standard pandemic winter wardrobe of cozy sweaters and stretchy pants :)

Perfect for casual holidays
I rented this to wear for our very low-key Thanksgiving celebration and wound up wearing it to work a few weeks later too. The colors are beautiful, and I liked the boxy fit. However, I found the shirt to be pretty short through the sleeves and torso (there are slits in the side that went up past my belly button) - not a deal breaker, but I'm knocking off a star because of it. In all: a good standard collared shirt, but not terribly exciting.

comically short
I couldn't wear this. The size medium fit just fine through the shoulders and bust, but it ended well above my belly button! Even with high-waisted pants, there was a substantial gap. I'm not sure if it was designed to be that short, or if it was improperly laundered at some point. For what it's worth, I'm tall but I don't have a particularly long torso.

cozy and work appropriate
This is a great work (or work from home) sweater. It feels warm and cozy but looks professional with black trousers and a nice blouse. It runs HUGE however. I typically take a size 8 or 10 in tops, but I rented a small in this sweater based on the reviews. I'm glad I did! The small was plenty roomy - anything larger would have swallowed me (and I am not a petite person).

beachy and bohemian
This is a good choice for late summer/early fall (it looks great with shorts). While I'd say it fits true to size, be aware that it's very loose and blousy. It definitely has chic, beachy vibes, but it's totally fine for hanging out at home and running errands (it's a thicker, linen material, so not at all see-through).

Weird fit
These didn't work for me. I wear a size 10 in pants, and these (size 3) were uncomfortably tight in the knees and calves while being really loose/baggy in the waist and thighs. The issue might have been height? I'm tall, so I suspect these weren't hitting me in the right place. Even if they fit, though, the fabric seemed thick and stiff for this style of pant.

I loved this dress! It's the sort of thing you can wear casually with flip flops or dress up with wedges and a nice bracelet for a dinner date. My only tiny complaint is that the material is weirdly itchy - especially around the bust.

I love this shirt! The fabric is the perfect weight for summer - tissue thin, but not transparent - and the vibrant colors are perfectly balanced by the subdued print. I'm busty, but I did not have the fit issues others reported.

Cute but short
The print is cute and I love the loose, boxy fit. However, this shirt was really short in the front. It worked okay with high-waisted shorts and pants, but I might size up if I rented it again. Interestingly, I rented another Rails shirt in the same size and cut but in a different material (linen instead of viscose - the one with the tigers printed on it), and I did not have the same issue with length.

Nice light sun dress
This is a very nice breezy sun dress for hot summer days. The fabric is what makes this dress special - it's light enough to have great movement, but substantial enough to feel expensive and not flimsy. As an FYI, I'd say the colors are a little more muted in person.

Not for those with curves
This dress looked great from the waist up - beautiful print, and the top half of the LR fit my bust nicely. Sadly, it was a different story from the waist down. Admittedly, I have wide hips, but this dress barely covered me! I even tried using a pin to hold it closed, but it was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. This would probably look amazing on someone with slim hips.

I probably should have tried a medium (I'm a size 10 in tops). The large was just too blousy for my figure. Otherwise, this top was fine - not particularly exciting, but fine.

Not made for wide hips!
I'm between a size 8 and 10, and I couldn't even come close to getting the LR over my hips! Too bad - it's a beautiful color, and I love the style. I just wish the zipper went down a little further.

perfection
I liked this so much I kept it! It's a great basic black blouse - it goes with everything, it's the right length for tucking in to pants/skirts, and the pussy bow keeps it from being too boring. It is pretty sheer, so you'll probably want a camisole.

The photos of this top really do not do it justice. The fit is perfect, the button details are incredibly cute, and the tie at the waist adds just enough interest to make this top something special. It is a little short, but it looks great with high wasited pants.

Comfortable and chic
These are super comfortable and flattering. The fabric has a nice weight to it, which makes them professional enough to wear to work (despite the drawstring and elastic waistband). My only complaint is that they run small - even after sizing up to an XL, they were a little tight in the calves.

Send in the clowns
Yikes. There has to be someone who this would look good on, but not me. I loved the bold print online, but in person it just looked garish and clownish. The cut is almost Victorian, and it just was not flattering on me. Maybe this would look better on a more petite person? Or a slimmer person?
