LOVE LOVE LOVE this quirky, fun shirt!
Easily my favorite RTR to date-- it's a fun mix of LA and western style and I got a ton of compliments on it. Wore to work and then to happy hour. It's a beautifully light, silk shirt that I paired with jeans and snakeskin booties, with a french tuck in the front. I was so bummed because I told myself I would just buy it but then I saw the price. No matter, will definitely rent again!

Cute but small!
This came to me NWT so i was pumped about that, but bummed to see that it was tiny- the kind of mini bag that i feel is very out of style now? But the form factor is cute and the color is really versatile.

I rented this for work but depending upon how you style it, I could see this being a really versatile piece that could work well for office, weekends, or dinner. Really liked this one.

Beautiful, baggy blazer
As the other reviewers mentioned, it's definitely not a tailored fit, but i got a ton of compliments on this blazer at work. Beauiful embroidery, heavy fabric, great for fall or winter.

Fun skirt for vacay!
Rented this for a vacation Mexico and found it to be a fun, versatile piece. Good construction and quality, and the hi-lo hem was perfect for me (5'1" with 5" heels).

My favorite RTR piece...ever
I've rented hundreds of pieces from RTR and this is my favorite to date. Reserved this one for a Christmas trip to Mexico and it made me feel like a million bucks- the picture doesn't do it justice! The 2 fit beautifully; i usuaally wear a 4. Short girls: you'll need to hem this one with fashion tape. At 5'1" with 5 inch heels it was still about 5 inches too long. So worth the extra work, though!

Do yourself a favor and rent this baby for a fun night out- it is lush and soft and will make you feel divalicious. The ultimate statement piece!

Tres chic
Rented these to go with a black sequin Badgely Mishka jumpsuit for a holiday party- everyone kept asking me who designed them. They are pretty big but make an amazing statement piece. Would definitely rent again.

Slay while wearing pajamas
This jumpsuit is amazing- rented for a couple of holiday parties and got endless compliments about chic it was. Super comfy, no need for a bra. Im 5'1" and wore 3" heels and this was perfect, so if you're average height I'd recommend going for the long. I'm usually somewhere between 2 and 4 and the 2 was perfect.

Chic with black tights for fall/winter!
Fabulous fit, especially for petite ladies. +1 On the other posters, wear black tights and pair with some black boots or booties and it's a very chic, tailored look with a touch of edge.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Great for petites.
I've often heard of the fashion stable that is the DVF wrap dress, but had never tried it. Was a little nervous when others mentioned this ran really small, but I actually thought my 4 fit perfectly-- the arms weren't too long (I'm 5'1" and this is often an issue), it hit right above the knee, made my boobs look huge and my waist look tiny. Classy, flattering, and a winner! Will absolutely rent again.

Classic-looking top
Very 60s Twiggy feel-- ended up actually not wearing this because I didn't love it so I sent back right away to get something that really wow'd me, but if you have a classic sense of style it's a good top to pair with pencil pants for work. Good construction, a touch itchy but I folded the turtleneck in half and thought it would have been perfectly wearable that way. I'm petite-- 5'1", short torso-- and it covered about half of my butt in the back.

Liked, didn't love
I rented this bag for vacation and it was just OK. It's relatively small and doesn't have any inner pockets to speak of, and it's a magnetic button closure so it would pop open if I stuffed the bag with more than just my wallet/phone/sunglasses. If you're only using it for a few things, and you're not traveling somewhere where you need a more secure bag, though, it's cute and well-constructed.

Very Jackie O
Rented these for vacation. They're well-constructed and and surprisingly didn't overwhelm my smaller face. My only complaint is that they're kind of heavy and would slide off my face (maybe they weren't tight enough?) so I constantly had to keep pushing them back on.

Cool, but not on me
I struggled with this skirt- on the plus side, it was NWT when it arrived and the quality is lovely. Stitching and the mocha color are really pretty. But I couldn't style this right- tried black booties with it and it looked odd, and I had to wear it on a particularly hot day so my options were limited. I suspect this works better with black tights and on taller women (the 4 ran a bit large/sat lower on my waist than I was expecting, and kept rotating around all day so I kept having to pull it back in place).

LOVE-quirky English style!
Adored the fit and print, which is kind of edgy with the insects (flies?). Collar is super cute. Was light enough to wear to work on an 80 degree day but you could also style with tights and cardigan and wear for a chilly fall or winter day too. Versatile and fun!

Fits like a glove
Fab fit- even on a petite frame like mine, the sleeves weren't overwhelmingly long. Has very cool laser-cut scuba-like material on the back and sleeves that you can't really see in the picture but were a pleasantly cool detail. Very versatile jacket, would rent again!

Stole the show at a wedding!
Great dramatic statement dress-wore this to a wedding in a botanic garden and got a ton of compliments. Also, POCKETS! It does run quite large, particularly up top/the straps. I'm normally a 4-6 but the 2 was even a tad large ( fit perfectly in the waist). Plus it's long- I'm 5'0' and wore 5.5 inch heels, and I had about 4 inches of slack in the back that I had to hem with double-sided tape. Would absolutely rent again, though- was gorgeous!

Sleek bag
Modern bag, looks exactly as pictured and I was able to shove my phone, compact, 2 lipsticks, a roll of double-sided tape, and some credit cards in there. Minus one star because it's kind of tough to open and as I was forcing it open I was afraid I was going to break it! I didn't, but getting it open requires a little elbow grease.

Great little clutch!
Wore this to a wedding with the pink Cynthia Rowley tulip dress. It matched the detailing on the dress perfectly; it's a gunmetal color. The clutch itself was a little scratched around the edges, but you would only notice that if you were inspecting it up close. Big enough to fit a phone, lipstick, and my Invisalign case.

Fun, unique, flattering dress for taller types
Great fit, sleek-looking dress, sexy without being too showy. Comfortable to dance in. My only gripe was that this is probably better-suited for taller girls; I'm 5'1 and it was midi length on me, which I didn't find super flattering. Otherwise, though, it's a stunner!

50s glam-- very Jackie O!
Wore this to a summer wedding in San Francisco. I'm usually somewhere between a 4 and a 6; the 4 fit great after some , uh, wiggling (note to girls with bigger thighs/hips: this dress is great for you but you can't get it on by just stepping into it, you'll have to put it on over your head !). Like the other reviewers said, it's great for gals who have small waists and wider hips and who are pretty short-- this hit a few inches above my knees and even shorter when I sat down. Very comfortable, good for dancing-- the only slightly tricky part is getting out of a car, but if you do the sit-and-spin, you can navigate it. Got a ton of compliments on this dress from other wedding guests, wedding staff, etc. Would rent again!

Cute dress, great color
I rented this as a backup dress for a black-tie optional wedding. It was cute on, though I'm in my late 20s and I thought it was a little prom-y to be wearing to a wedding. This would be adorable for a gal going to prom or some kind of college formal, though! The fabric is really heavy/quality, and the lines are beautiful. The only other tricky thing about this dress on my figure, in particular (petite girl with curves) is that it tends to pucker a bit around the middle for some reason-- I think it's something having to do with the boning/corset of the dress and my short torso.

Awesome dress for black tie wedding!
Wore this to a black tie optional wedding in Cape Cod and felt like a movie star. Ensuing Facebook posts of the dress got a ton of comments and everyone wanted to know where I got it! Overall, it ran true to size-- I'm usually somewhere between a 4 and a 6 so I got them both, and ended up going with the 4. Pretty much fit like a glove, though I might have even been able to go a size smaller. I have wider hips but a small waist, and this dress disguised the hips and showed off the waist. Conservative enough in the front but the open back was really stunning and a tad sexy. Fabric was heavy but not too heavy for a summer wedding. Short girls, heads up: I'm about 5'0" and wore 5 inch heels, and I still had to hem the heck out of that thing with double-sided tape (it was at least another 5-6 inches too long). A slight pain, but if you order this dress and you're short, just plan to pick up some double-sided fashion tape and spend some time messing with hemming it up.
