Loved it!
I love this blouse. I wore it as a layering piece under a black cardigan and off black jeans, but the polka dots added something fun to my neutral wardrobe and the black kept it "me". I wore it to a meeting I had with a client at Starbucks. The only downside is that it is polyester...that means it doesn't wrinkle (great!), but I very rarely (never) wear anything polyester. Having said that, though, I think I am going to buy it...that's how much I love it.

Great Basic Jeans
They are a great basic straight jean. I wanted to try to see if I wanted to buy it...I've been looking for a new pair of denim straight legged jeans. They are really good. Solid. I have this though...I was looking for more edge, so I won't buy them. If you are looking for a great basic, this is a good rental.

Unlined, Didn't fit
I had high hopes for this coat, but when I got it, I didn't like it at all. First it's unlined, which for the price of the coat is weird to me. Second, it's a very large fit...I don't think sizing down would have made it fit in the waist though; I think it still would have been too big there and too small in the arms. I returned this without wearing it.

Maybe good for everyday. Not good for a wedding.
I had a blue dress that I wore to a wedding and I needed a purse. This purse looked a little plastic-y imo. Maybe it was just not dressy enough. It probably would be fine (and good) for a more casual event, but I didn't wear it.

It's pretty but complicated
I didn't wear this dress although I do think it's pretty if it can be pinned on well (and I couldn't figure out how to pin it to make it look good). It has two snaps and I think that would be enough on a smaller chested women, but I thought on me it would need some two sided tape to make it lay flat and sealed in the chest.

Good
These pants were great in that they are a thick white pant...not too hot...(I don't like white pants when the material is too thin). I liked them alot overall and I live in white jeans and pants on vacation so they were great to have.

Great Red, Too much pattern. Great Shape mostly, Low cut.
This dress had a great fit on my body...forgiving and yet shows my curves to their best. It was too low cut (in the neckline and on the sides). I needed a special bra. If I owned it, I would have done a simple alteration to lift it up by taking it up an inch in the shoulders. I didn't love the pattern (too busy for me), but I was happy with the red color. I could make it work with black heels and a black leather coat over the shoulders to "chic it up".

Classy simplicity
This dress fits really well. Its silk and the material is gorgeous. The only thing I don't like is that the back straps are skinny, and don't hide a bra strap...I wore a jacket over my shoulders to hide this, but the designer could have so easily made a thicker strap in the back...the straps are adjustable, which is great. Beautiful!

I liked the cute covered buttons!
I rented it as a layering piece for blazers...I thought the color looke a little tired. Not a white. Not a cream. A little dingy. It was "just okay"

Fun Pattern! Runs Big.
1. Pattern is a win! The pattern on this blouse is super cute! I wore it twice under two different black sweaters. My sister told me I needed to buy it even. 2. Sizing is off though. It is a weird fit though: too big for sure. I ordered the next size down and it was also too big (the "smaller size seemed even bigger in the shoulders...it was weird). Although I wouldn't wear it by itself, it looked great under things.

These were perfect for vacation. The Lavender part is a shell but also looks enough like a stone. I wore it with a white sundress and they were the star of the show! Highly recommend for vacation, spring or summer!!

Not right for me
I thought it was a knit dress (like a Missoni looking Maxi). It's not. It's a flat material with a print on it. I didn't wear it as a result. Fit is great though. I do recommend it if you like pattern.

Great Dress
I got the medium when I should have gotten the large. It's true to size even with the stretch. I didn't wear it because I thought I read to size down. But it's a great dress. I do recommend it.

Beautiful Color...a little bit fussy in the fit
The color of this top is a really pretty blue! I'm a size 8 or a 10 and I went down to an 8, but I wonder if a 6 would have worked. I didn't wear because I thought the 8 was too big. The tie is easy to tie but it is a tad bit fussy looking. It's workable though.

Unusual...very pretty. I bought them:-)
I rented two different pairs of rhinestone earrings to wear during the holidays. These were just as nice as the more expensive pair I rented and in fact, I liked them better. The price was right (inexpensive) so I bought them! Love!

Stunning
So elegant, yet simple. The shoulder squares off (like a balmain blazer) but isn't too big. Perfect in fact! The bow tie kept loosening so I'd have to keep checking it to make sure it was tied but that's worth it). I felt so beautiful in this blazer!

Beautiful Color-fit showed every lump and bump
I almost loved this dress. Great shape. Great color. Minor stretch to the knit. It "showed" bumps on me (like a round stomach), so I didn't wear it. It also bunched up on my back like there was too much fabric. I just felt like there are many other dresses that are more flattering on me.

A beautiful Red
The fit on this was great. The red is a beautiful red. It's not a wrap dress, so it fits like a regular dress would fit (no extra give). It's made to look like it's a wrap though.

I really liked this dress. I got it a size too big though. I plan to order it again for my next vacation but to get it at least a size down. Its fun and even a little quirky. The black though makes it easy to style. Perfect for vacation.

Cute but dressy
It fits well (true to size). I love a faux fur not just for formal affairs but this was too dressy to wear how I wanted to wear it (for going out on weekends). It is long haired too, and I wasn't sure how I liked that, especially around my face (as a blonde). I do recommend it for dressier events!

This style didn't work on my body shape (I'm long waisted, so really defined waists don't typically work on me), but I had my sister try it on and she looked great in it! The color is great. The material is great. I do recommend it.

Beautiful coat
This burgundy coat was beautiful...doesn't wrinkle, classic fit too. You need your own belt to wear with it if you want it closed as it doesn't have any buttons or belt. Loved the color and fabric. 3/4 length sleeves which was fun...it shows off your long sleeve. Keeps you warm for 45 degrees or above, but. It meant for true winter. Loved it!! I used to live in Texas and it would be my ideal winter coat for a more moderate climate city. Great Fall coat for us Northerners!

Definitely a statement...I liked it but my sister thought I looked ridiculous.
Okay, on one hand it's really cute. On the other, it may be too over the top with being both a strong plaid and a cape style. I saw some women had worn it to a football game or to a Fall event. It definitely has it's place. I wore it shopping one day and out to dinner another. I sometimes like strong statements, so I had fun it it. It's "anti-sexy", but it is cute.

I sized up and it was still way too small!
This had a horrible fit. If you rent it, I'd say to size up two sizes maybe. It didn't come close to fitting me. I am a size 10 and I ordered the 44. I'm not sure the 46 would have fit any better. To contrast, I got a Theory Blazer in the same delivery from RTR and it fit perfectly in a 10.

Fantastic!
I love this sweater! Perfect casual outfit with off black jeans and black boots. The three buttons on both sides of the waist made it fit perfectly (I needed to unbutton them)...it gave me a fitted top and a curve in at the waist and then no "grab" at the waist. I'd rent this again for sure!

Good fit
Good fit! Jacket is more "cottony" than wool, which surprised me. Twill is a good description of the fabric. The pattern also was not as cute as I was expecting at first, but I like it better now and styled up. Perfect for work or I might wear it again for everyday before I return it. I have ended up really liking this jacket and recommend it!
