For horse lovers
I was looking for horse-themed details for a trip to Kentucky and Tory Burch has some winners, so happy to have found these available on RTR. They're big and bold, but not overpowering. Love them!

Beautiful embroidery
I love renting unique dresses- I can try them on and don't have to worry about repeating something that stands out so much! I got lots of compliments. Like other ladies said, it runs super small. I'm wearing an XL in the photo and I normally wear an 8-10/M. The dropped waist isn't the most flattering for wider bottoms, but the top had ample room for a larger chest. The embroidery and different textures are beautiful.

Pop of color
Fun dress for the start of spring. I think there's supposed to be a matching belt but it didn't come with my order. True to size and great for curves. The V opening is too low cut for work, I had to pin it.

Valentine's Day accessory
I saw this bag in the store and thought it would pair well with whatever I decided to wear for Valentine's Day dinner, whether I chose black or red. The quilting made it appropriate for a wintry night.

Valentine's Day date
Rented for Valentine's Day. It was warm and flattering- but runs so small! A size Large was still very tight.

Effortless white
I rented it to try on for a future vacation, I sized up because I'm curvy and it fit so perfectly. It's very long, I'm short and had to wear tall platform wedges to make it work, no flat sandals. Added a summery belt to break up the white and will add some fun jewelry. It's so well made.

Warm for winter
I found this skirt in the store, it seemed a good weight for winter. It runs small- I wore a Large and the elastic was still tight while I usually wear a Medium. The skirt was otherwise comfortable and fun to try.

soft and comfy
I wore this sweater for running around this winter. It is so soft and beyond comfortable. It's not the most flattering, a bit of a sack from the waist down, but the textile is high end. It was fun to wear and kept me warm.

One of my favorites
I was surprised by how versatile this dress is- I wore it to work with a black wrap sweater, to a formal work function with pumps and to a winter holiday party with over the knee black boots. I usually wear an 8 and the 10 fit me very well, flattering on my curves. I got a few compliments! It's comfortable and stands out.

I wore this under a blazer- easy piece to work into your wardrobe.

Perfect vacation jumpsuit
This jumpsuit was so close to a home run. My shape is curvy and short so jumpsuits are always hit or miss- I was so impressed that the length wasn't too long and I could wear it with flat sandals, that it wasn't to tight in the thighs and bum, and that there was room for my bust without gaping. Love the front-button entry too! Everything fit great until the shoulder straps- they are made for someone with a much longer torso. How could it be designed for someone 6' tall waist-up and 5'3" waist-down? The extra fabric made the top half hang awkwardly. I really wanted to make it work, so I pulled up the straps for the night. Really liked it overall but it was too much effort!

Too funny
I was waiting for a good trip to rent this for. It went with everything all weekend- from the flight under a sweatshirt to brunch with the crossbody strap to hanging around the pool. I loved its versatility, that it holds its shape, and the inner pockets. My young niece loved it so much too, she would run up to it and pat it and call it by its name- "red little grump!"

Impractical design
I rented this for a wedding, but I realized it wouldn't work after trying it on. It wraps like a robe, so the whole dress can open up any time. I didn't want to be the guest flashing my crotch on the dance floor.

Simple dress in a nice fall color
I needed a simple dress, as most of mine at home have loud prints. This was a nice option, I like the short sleeves and color. Theory runs small, I ordered one size up. It was still very tight in the stomach, so not the most flattering.

for houndstooth lovers
Fell in love with the pattern, and the lining is a repeating map of the world. Fits comfortably on my curves, I ordered my usual size. I like the long length for fall. The arms are too long, that's the only downside on fit.

This was the perfect addition to an outfit with metallic details. Good size for everything I needed for a night out to the theater.

Whimsical tote
I was looking for a bag to take with me on vacation that was roomy but packed flat. This bag fit the bill, with an added bonus of being pretty hysterical. The mouth pocket was really handy for reaching things I needed often.

Warm and easy
I rented this for a trip to Iceland. I knew from a previous rental that it ran large (got a US 8 and was swimming in it, this time I got a US 6). I got several compliments on it! I love the big pockets too.

Elevated sweater dress
I rented this for a recent trip to Iceland as my "something nice"- I chose it because it had a fun print that reminded me of Nordic patterns, packed flat without wrinkling, and was also warm (50 degrees in August!). I ordered my usual size (M for an 8) and it was tight but stretchy. The arm holes were veeeery tight and the seams tore when I tried it on at home, I used safety pins to hold them closed. But overall it was perfect for our one fancy dinner out.

Fun on vacation
I was so happy this was available to rent for a vacation where I would be visiting a Whiskey Library and Vegas for a bachelorette party. The sweater I received was clearly worn a bunch, so it was loose but still well-fitting. It was probably smaller when it started out, which is ok because I have a large chest and Milly sweaters often run small on me in that area. Would rent again!

Winner winner
I ordered several options for the wedding of a close friend- this dress was perfect- bright spring colors, flattering on curves, and the right level of fancy. I thought the belt was unnecessary but I used it because the belt loops needed to be held down. The R length was way too long for me at 5'3", luckily I had 6" platform heels (and even then the hem was barely off the floor). I received a lot of compliments.

Sporty and feminine. Fit true to size, was fun to wear with sneakers on a weekend.

Didn't wear
This is made for someone very long waisted, on me it bunched up at the back. The wrap doesn't cover enough of the chest without a tank top, but I didn't get that far.

Pop of citrus
I rented this for Father's Day- loved it! Great colors, super flattering on curves, retro length. Will absolutely rent again. The only downside was that since it's a wrap dress, the chest area needs to be taped, pinned or needs a tank top underneath. When I tried tape, it wouldn't stick because the fabric is always moving in that area and my bra kept showing.

Unexpected rental
I found this dress at the RTR store, I don't think I would have noticed it on the site. It's a thick cotton knit fabric, like a sweatshirt material. I love the 3D rainbow ruffle stripes. It's not the most flattering dress in the sense that it probably enhanced my shape and didn't slim it, but it was an effortless piece. I wore it on a hot day over the weekend and I liked how not-clingy it was.

I love renting Equipment blouses! They are a reliable fit, flattering on my curves, and have fun new prints and colors. I wore this to work and on Mother's Day.

fun blouse to try
I was looking for a specific top that would match a pair of platforms decorated with pearls- and I actually found it! This fun ivory blouse has subtle pearl embellishments. I like that it has a lining to make sure it isn't see-through. I rented my usual size - M - and it was perfect in length, hit exactly where my jeans stopped. It isn't very slimming, especially on a larger bust, but it was comfortable. Nice to try something outside of my usual box.

Fun baubles
I brought these on vacation to go with a gold & silver wrap dress & a dressy blouse. There're just the right size and very lightweight. They swing around a lot but didn't hit me in the face. :D

Spring has sprung
I rented this for Easter weekend. I love bright florals and it was finally somewhat warm enough for a light dress. It fit true to size and had a tea length for me (5'3"). It's a crisp cotton material. I rolled up the sleeves to make it more youthful. Because it's a full-button shirtdress, there is no lining, so I would recommend wearing a slip underneath. Great pick for the occasion.

Tied the look together
I need a small/medium size purse wtih a pop of red, a shoulder strap (not a long crossbody) and an outside pocket for my phone for easy access- this bag had it all. Leave it to DVF to complete my 70's-theme ensemble. The mixed textures are luxe and the colors pop. The chain strap didn't catch on my dress either. I plan on wearing it a second time this week with a teal jumpsuit. Who knew this color combo was so versatile?

Did the trick
I tried two other pairs of earrings before finally selecting these for a 70's theme party. They look very expensive and matched my dress perfectly. Very lightweight and a good size. A nice take on the tassel trend.

Luxe fabric, nice fit
I was eyeing this blazer, I was so excited to see it available on RTR! I ordered my true size and it fit as if it was tailored to me. The fabric is a bit thick, so it sticks out in profile in the back. The colors are stunning. One potential negative- I'm only 5'3" and the sleeves were barely long enough on me. Maybe with a long-sleeved button-down underneath it would be less obvious? Glad I got to try it, added some brightness to a cold winter day.

Great pattern & fit
I liked the pattern and the top did fit true to size, but there were issues that make it a one-time rental. The neckline is too revealing, i needed a safety pin to keep my bra from showing at work. The ¾ sleeve ends with an elastic band, so if you're wearing it solo, the sleeves will get stuck and look like a pirate shirt above the elbow.

Versatile & flattering
I love this dress, I don't want to return it. Fun print, bell sleeves that are just the right length and a great shape once you cinch at the waist with the cloth belt or your own. Fit true to size for me and didn't pull or gape at the chest.

I love, love, love prints that are bold but don't take over. This sweater is very comfortable, good weight and flattering for a large bust. I really enjoyed wearing it.

Comfortable top screams summer
I have fallen in love with Tanya Taylor Designs, this top seemed like a fun one to try. I saw that a size down was recommended, but wasn't available so I wore my actual size/size I usually wear in this brand. The shoulders fit ok and there was plenty of room for a larger bust, but the effect can skew sloppy and the shoulders moved around and revealed my bra. I also had to wear a an extra tank top layer because the eyelets are large and you could see right through the blouse. I will say the top was very comfortable, as any sack shape would be. The colors pop and I felt like I was on vacation wearing it to work and an event afterwards. It's not very practical day to day, but it was fun to try.

Everday playful blouse
I wore his blouse to work plain, and also under a blazer. It can do anything! It's light, breathable, colorful, feminine.. fits nicely over a large bust without any pulling. It's a wonderful summer top.

Perfect bangle
I selected this bangle when I couldn't find anything I wanted to try available, on a whim. I've worn it almost every day since. I have small wrists and it fits perfectly, doesn't roll over or up and down. Low-key enough to match with everything, adds a little bit of sophistication. I was pleasantly surprised!
