I absolutely loved this, and I wish I had gotten a photo! I'm generally a size 6, although I do size up to an 8 sometimes. The 8 fit perfectly, so I think this ran a little bit small. The waist made it really flattering, and the silhouette was perfect for a somewhat dressy (but still classy) work event. I'd consider buying if it wasn't so expensive!

Pleasant surprise!
This had been in my hearts for a while as a potential basic dress for work, but as someone who usually wears a lot of bright colors and patterns, I wasn't super pumped about it. However, I ended up really liking it. It was crisp and flattering for a day at work, and super comfy. I would buy this if it wasn't so expensive!

Love this!
I've had this jacket for a couple of weeks and don't want to send it back! I received this with tags still on, the quality is high, and it's super versatile. Definitely a great rental.

Fun sweater!
I liked this sweater a lot for a casual dinner with a friend and will likely wear it this weekend too. It's cropped, so it worked well with my high waisted jeans. I didn't find it itchy at all, and the quality is nice.

So fun and cozy!
I wore this to a football game for my purple team, and it was such a fun coat to wear. It was soft and cozy, and faux fur seemed to be of high quality. As other reviews mentioned, it does run on the large side.

Perfect for parent-teacher conferences!
I wish I had taken a photo of this dress. It fit well and was great for parent-teacher conferences. I felt put together with this under a white cardigan and with nude wedges. The fabric also felt luxe. I'd rent this again!

Great dress!
I really liked this dress and wore it both to work during the week and to lunch on the weekend. Although I believe it's a spring/summer dress, I liked it in Chicago November with tights and a leather jacket. It was kind of big and blousy, but I believe this was the design of the dress. I would rent this one again!

Cozy!
This was a super cozy and soft sweater. It did run a little big, but I really liked it. I wore it on the weekend and then also made it work for work with a velvet skirt. Highly recommend!

Fun dress for going out!
I rented this dress for a weekend when I knew I would be going out with the possibility of also wearing it to work. It turned out to be too short for work (I'm a high school teacher, and it went way up when I moved my arms or sat down--it might work for someone in a casual work environment who sits at a desk all day). It's a fun dress, and the print is really pretty. I got a lot of compliments and would consider renting it again.

Fun sweater!
Nothing negative to say here--I wore this sweater to dinner and then to brunch a few days later, and it's comfy and fun. People didn't figure it out right away, but I got a few compliments when they realized that it says "yes" and "no." This wasn't a showstopper, but I would consider renting it again.

Could be good for the right season and occasion!
Hmm, this is a tough one for me to review. Although I didn't love it in Chicago October, I do think this could be appropriate for warmer weather, a tropical vacation, or something like that. I ended up wearing it to a day of casual meetings at work, and I think it would be too casual for my actual job as a high school teacher unless I dressed it up well. I got a few compliments, but it did remind me of the scrubs my mom wears in her job as a pediatric nurse. That said, this jumpsuit was SUPER comfy and relatively flattering. I'm 5'4", so the length was a little awkward (just a tiny bit cropped). All in all, I would consider renting this again for a more appropriate occasion/weather.

Grew on me!
I wasn't sure about this dress at first, but I ended up liking it and thought the print was unique and fun. The fit, although true to size, was a little strange. Like in some of the other reviews, I agree that there was extra fabric in the chest area that seemed kind of awkward. Additionally, the waist was pretty tight and wasn't the comfiest after a day of work and an evening out. However, I thought this was a fun dress and would consider renting again for the right occasion!

Fun, cozy sweater!
I loved this casual and soft sweater. It was definitely a statement piece, too. I would say that it runs a tad big, but I liked how it fit on me. I'll definitely rent this one again!
Eccentric Sweater
Chinti & Parker

Cute but short!
I rented this for work, but it turned out to be too short (and the bottom came WAY up when I moved my arms) for my job as a high school teacher. This was a bummer, but I did end up wearing this as a dress to dinner out with friends (hence the selection of it as an "everyday" piece instead). It felt a little shapeless and sloppy on its own, but I made it work with a long vest and scarf. I also wore this to work tucked in to a skirt, and I think it would work well for a more casual day over leggings. The print is cute and the fabric is nice, but I would have liked it more if it had been suitable for work as a dress.

Fun dress!
This dress was super fun to brighten up a day at work! The fabric was fantastic and felt so luxurious, and I loved the colors. It did seem to run a little big. I would likely rent this again!

Fun dress!
I rented this for wine tasting in Michigan, and it was perfect! It's a really fun dress, and I got a lot of compliments on it. I will say that the slits felt a little high for work (I'm a high school teacher), so it didn't do double-duty in that way, but this was a distinctive and interesting piece to rent. It was also great quality.

Loved this cozy sweater jacket!
This sweater coat was soft and cozy, and it looked great over my dress. I wore it on a 60-degree day and was comfy. I believe it was also pretty true to size if not a bit big (I generally wear a small or medium, and this fit in a small). Recommend!

Grew on me!
I actually wasn't sure about this dress when I first tried it on (the sleeves are pretty poufy), but I ended up wearing it to work and getting a ton of compliments. It's well made and didn't wrinkle throughout my day. I did have to iron the collar when it arrived, though. All in all, this was a fun dress that I would rent again!

Interesting and different!
I liked this dress overall, and the neckline was certainly something different. I ended up tucking the strap in on the side with the pocket to cover some of the skin showing for work, as it went down relatively low. I'm not sure if I'd wear this to work again, but it could definitely be fun for an event!

First crop top experience!
This was a fun top to wear out on a summer Saturday. It was my first time wearing a crop top as an adult, and it definitely was cropped! However, I felt comfortable in it with high-waisted jeans. For the right occasion, I would rent this again.

Fun dress!
I wore this dress to work and then to dinner on my birthday. The ruffle at the bottom felt a little girl-ish, but I still really liked it and got lots of compliments. The fabric was light and comfy, and I tied the bow in front, which I thought looked nice. I'd call this a fun summer dress and would rent again.

Didn't love this...
I rented this as an option for work, and I didn't end up wearing it. The fabric was nice, and it seemed like it would be comfortable, but the large white stripe across my midsection just didn't do it for me.

Fum summer top!
I rented this top for weekend wear, and I ended up wearing it to a concert with high-waisted jeans. I did wear a tank under it, because the neckline is kind of low, but it was a fun choice. I would rent this again!

Oh I loved this!
I know this is supposed to be a tunic, but it was perfect as a dress for me. I wore it to work with a navy vest over it and then again on a plane with a jean jacket. It's comfy, the fabric feels luxurious, and the hem is fun. I would definitely rent this again!

Small!
These didn't work for me, as they were a thin material and ran small in my opinion. Even when I got them on my legs (forget about buttoning them, haha), they felt like they were clinging in a way that was not flattering at all. I might consider going up probably two sizes and trying these again.

Fun summery dress!
This was a fun summery dress, and I really liked the color. It fit true-to-size if not a little big, and it felt flattering on. I didn't dock any stars for this and reached out to RTR, but I do want to note that there was an issue with the lining being too long on the dress that I received, so I had to binder clip it up in several places to get through the work day!

Cute!
I didn't actually wear this because of a change of plans, but it was a cute, fun, casual dress. Not my favorite rental ever, but it was true to size and felt like it would stay comfy for a while. It was a little short--probably too short for work, but would have been perfect for a fun day walking around the city or on vacation.

Cute and fun!
This top was cute and fun for an outdoor Sunday brunch. I wore it with high-waisted jeans and tucked it in, although the shirt didn't stay fully tucked. It also got pretty wrinkled, but overall, I liked it.

Adorable and sunny!
I rented this for work, but it arrived on a Friday, so I also decided to wear it for lunch and brewery hopping on a summer Saturday. It's bright, fun, and fits well. The only small thing is that you do have to undo all of the buttons to get it on or off, since there's no zipper. Overall, though, great rental!

Fun dress!
I liked (but didn't love) this dress. It was fun for a relatively casual event, and it fit well. I didn't need a bra with the top, which was nice, but I did feel like the dress was a little long. The fabric was also pretty thin. Overall, this wasn't my favorite, but I might consider renting it again.

Fun piece!
I really liked this jumpsuit for dinner and a play on a summer Friday. It was flattering and comfortable, and it really spoke for itself--I didn't feel like I needed jewelry or any accessories. I got a lot of compliments on it, too! My only issue was that it got SUPER wrinkly, so that's something to consider.

Hmm...
So I rented this dress to wear to work, but when I received it, it felt like a little much. It's super bright, and the long sleeves and long length are a LOT of color. I did like how it fit, and I feel like it could be comfortable and fun for the right event. I'd consider renting it again if that came up!

Love this!
This is a fantastic dress. It's great quality and looks fabulous on. For work, I did layer it over a white tank, because the keyhole goes relatively low. However, I could definitely see myself wearing this to a casual event outside of work, too. I've rented this twice and will likely rent again!

Cute and fun!
This was a fun choice for orientation at the high school where I teach. I loved the bright print. My only small issue was that it felt a little large in the chest area, so I wore a black tank under it to avoid any awkward skin exposure from gaping. I'll probably rent this again!

Didn't actually wear this but it was cute!
I didn't actually wear this (I ordered three separate dresses in this Unlimited shipment with the goal of choosing one for a wedding), but it was pretty and well-made. It also seemed true-to-size (maybe a bit tight in the waist), and I would definitely consider renting it for a future event. It did feel a little wintry for an August wedding.

Loved this!
I really liked this dress! It was great for a summer wedding, and it really sparkled on the dance floor. It felt pretty true to size, and although it's cut low, I felt comfortable as a 36B in it. It also has pockets, which eliminated the need for a bag. (The pockets were large and the fabric was thick enough to hold my phone, cards, and a lipstick without messing up the shape of the dress). My only issue was that the zipper was really hard to get around the seams in the back. However, that was a small price to pay for a great dress experience! Highly recommend.
