Really comfortable and cool
The pants really up any look and are forgiving for a slightly lumpy postpartum body. Wore them with tees and oversized button downs for put-together everyday looks during my maternity leave on days that I actually went somewhere.

So much fun for maternity!
Wore while pregnant, although I had to retired it towards the end of my third trimester because it stopped covering my stomach. Before that, this was my favorite thing to wear out because it is such a statement sweater.

Cute but boxy and itchy
I rented this during my pregnancy and felt like it added a lot of bulk to my frame. It's also pretty itchy. I think that on someone tall and willowy, it would look great, just not a good fit for me at my widest.

Very chic maternity
Yep, this is like leggings for the whole body. Wore this out with dusters and long coats and felt very cool. I wore this well into my third trimester, but I think that it's best in 2nd tri because it can be difficult to get on and off for frequent peeing.

Great for maternity!
Wore this up through the end of my pregnancy and it got me compliments every time I went out. Material is soft and thick, so great for cool weather. I do wish that I had sized down because it did stretch out a bit with wear, and I prefer a more fitted look when pregnant.

Not sure how there are cute pictures of women rocking this. I tried it on at 14 weeks pregnant and could only imagine wearing as a beach cover up. Even with nude undergarments, I could see... everything.

Super chic but for that damn slip
Put this on to wear to a conference today and was feeling really chic as I walked out my front door--it's very comfortable, flattering on my mom-bod, and classy. My feelings of satisfaction ended as I was walking through the a conference hall and felt like my dress was riding up. When I was able to get to the bathroom it turned out it wasn't the whole dress, just the slip, which was riding up around my waist. This continually happened throughout the day every time I took more than a couple steps. It was really distracting and made me go home early instead of staying for a happy hour. If you are going to be completely stationary, this dress is lovely. If you would like to move without feeling like you are partially exposing your whole lower body, not the best.

HUGE and noisy, but also very cool
Rented this at 9 months pregnant and was able to zip it up and feel very stylish wearing it. I will agree with other reviews that it runs very large--I literally wore this in an XS 2 days before giving birth. I also was annoyed by the clinking that the zippers made as I moved. However, the elastic in the back cinched in a very flattering way that actually made me feel good wearing a bulky coat while I was at my biggest. That alone was enough to make me love this coat. Pregnant ladies, this coat is worth renting!

Unwearable
Yikes! These managed to be too baggy and still show every dimple on my bottom. I'm already feeling self conscious enough about my body as I head into the third trimester and decided I didn't need to wear these out of the house. The stomach was too big for me at 27 weeks and the thighs were very baggy, making me look even thicker than I am. Back they go!

RTR Unlimited is my soul-service.
RTR Unlimited, you complete me. Before you I struggled to keep up with trends, always bought too many clothes (which eventually ended up donated to thrift stores), and still never felt like I had anything to wear. Now I always have at least one power piece in my outfits and don’t even think about stepping foot in fast fashion stores. I invest in classic basics and add in colorful purses, punchy patterned dresses, and trendy jackets that I rent until I am ready to move on. No more worrying about how to afford a new dress for a wedding, far less agonizing over whether it is time to get rid of something or wait until it comes back in style, and zero guilt for trying a new statement top that I may never wear again. Now that I’m pregnant, I have an even deeper adoration for RTR, as I try different maternity clothes on my ever-changing body without worrying about buying things that I’ll only wear for a few more months. I’ve enjoyed about two beautiful years with RTR Unlimited, and I look forward to many more.

Pretty, soft, light, and oh, so cool!
Be warned, this dress is not structured or slim fitting, so if you are trying to highlight your shape, keep looking. If you are trying to play down some extra pounds or a baby bump, this dress is amazing! I really want to buy it; here's why: The pattern and colors are beautiful and chic. The drape is perfect, probably because the lining layer is viscose and the outer layer is silk, both with some elastane, so there is a little give. The fabrics are also so comfortable and light, making this perfect for warm weather. On top of the comfort and pretty factors, this dress is exceedingly versatile. I've worn it with sneakers for casual friend lunches, with heels for a dinner date, and with slides and a blazer for an interview. I felt perfectly dressed in all situations. I'm sure that it could be styled in even more ways, perhaps over leggings, or belted... Oh, and it has pockets.

Small thighs and big waist...
Dang! I wanted to love these so I could rent them in all the different colors throughout my pregnancy. Because of my body type, there is no such luck for me. I'm just heading into my second trimester and my normal jeans are all a little tight in the waist, so I thought I'd give these a try. Unfortunately, they fit very tight on my thighs and very loose on my waist, causing the dreaded downhill creep. They also sit really low, which might be necessary farther along in a pregnancy, but just felt uncomfortable for me right now. They are a bit too long, but that was expected and was easily fixed by cuffing. I bought a pair of elastic insert jean shorts from Target (in a 4) and they fit much better, so I was really sad that these much nicer jeans don't fit. I am a pretty thick in the thighs, so if you have thinner, longer legs, these might be great. And I should add that the denim is high-quality, thick, and stretchy.

Cute, but cut on the smaller side and a little itchy
The color is very pretty and paired well with a white blouse. The length was ok on me, although I feel that, like most cropped sweaters, this would have been better just about a half inch shorter on my frame. Width-wise, I ordered the XS and probably should have gone with the small because it pulled under the armpits when layered over another shirt. I also found the material to be a bit itchy. If definitely should be layered and worn with a shirt with a collar to prevent contact with your neck.

Made travel feel luxurious
Rented this as my small bag for a trip to Vietnam. Was wonderful for transitioning from a shoulder bag to a backpack. The zipper kept me feeling secure enough to walk around cities without worrying about pickpockets. On top of the functionality, it's a lovely deep wine color and the leather is very soft. My only complaint was that the pockets inside were large and floppy, making it tough to fit my laptop inside quickly--always a pain when going through airport security. Otherwise, i would say this would be a perfect travel or work bag.

Perfect statement necklace!
I want to buy this necklace. It is gorgeous, sure to get compliments, and looks expensive. Unfortunately, it is expensive, so I will be returning it. :( Perfect for adding glamour to your work-wear, a plain tee, or a simple necked dress, I think that this is the most versatile jewelry I have ever got my hands on. The only downside that I could find is that it did leave a bit of a grey cast on the skin at my collarbone when I wore it with a lower cut shirt; I don't think it is as well-plated in the back. However, I didn't notice any discoloration on any of my clothes, so I wouldn't discount this necklace for that issue.

Top is sooo unflattering
The bottom of this romper fit like a charm on me, which was a really welcome surprise as I started trying this on. But the top... I'm not sure if it is because I'm small chested or not, but it looked awful. Not only did I not fill it out, but the seams that create the cups made what little I have look pointed and sad. I had been planning to wear this with no bra, which I can totally get away with, and have done with many a dress, because the girls are small and perky enough. With this, I tried bra-less, then added a strapless bra, then tried taping in cups, all with the same weird, pointed result. I read some really great reviews on this piece, so I'm guessing that it was just me or this particular romper is flawed, but no amount of pinning or adjusting made this something I was comfortable wearing.

Great fit for a lady with some booty
This looked great on me. I wish I had taken a picture. The fabric is really stretchy and the cut of the hem was very good for my height. The pattern is tropical and very pretty and the cut out gives it a little edge, too. I would definitely recommend this for a summer date or casual beach wedding.

Fit like a jacket should
I got this to wear as a low key way to add some shimmer to my New Years look, but ended up wearing it during the day too. I really love this jacket and wish I could have kept it longer. The look was very cool with both jeans and a LBD, and I probably would have worn it to work with a button down and slacks too if I had not returned it so I could get some Mexico vacation dresses. Being very much a petite on top, this jacket fit me perfectly. It was slimming, and looked great both open and zipped, which is nice because sometimes jackets that fit my shoulders are a wee bit too small in the hips for me to zip up comfortably.

Sure to win compliments
This bag was large enough for me to carry everything I needed, including my small work laptop on occasion. The texture and studs made the bag interesting, plus the color helped it pop against all of my dark winter coats. It always got lots of attention and compliments. The only drawbacks where the fact that it doesn't zip or have a flap to close, just a small magnetic closure, and the straps are rather flimsy feeling and very odd lengths, but unadjustable. Overall, very attractive bag, but with a few flaws that allowed me to return it without too much sadness.

Comfortable and Forgiving
I'm a little out of shape and already pear-shaped, so it's hard to find s dress that is cute, comfortable, and flattering. This dress really hit the mark. Not only did it work well on my frame, but you could barely tell that my tummy is a bit poochy, and my butt looked great. I wore this to work today with a jacket and it felt professional while stylus. It's so attractive that I'm taking it on date night tonight.

Fun, but a little too wide
These glasses are very glam and spice up an outfit, but they were a little too wide and loose for my face. I think you would need a pretty big head or round face for these to fit properly.

Easy and comfy
This dress is definitely not form fitting, but it is very comfortable on a hot day while still looking chic. Other reviewers have mentioned this--the arm holes are far too large to wear a regular bra, but I wore sporty Handfull bras with it and they looked great. I think the best part about the dress is the high low hem that was just the right length for someone short like me.

Leather and stretchy, a match made in heaven
I am obsessed with leather and faux-leather pants, which is embarrassingly clear in all fashion boards I create in Pinterest. Unfortunately, I am bottom heavy and leather doesn't always encompass my rear gracefully. These pants were incredibly fun for me as the back is stretchy! I have been wearing them almost nonstop with slouchy sweaters, but with 80 degree weather in Portland this week, back they must go. Because of the stretch, these are really forgiving, so bootyfull and thick-thighed ladies, these will fit you. The length was ok, perhaps a tad long, but with my stature, this was to be expected.

Instant office chic.
I really enjoyed the crisp undershirt mixed with the cropped pinstripe sweater. This was a really unique look and it made simple black leggings feel office appropriate. I sized up, but I feel like I could have easily sized down to get a more tailored look. The only draw back that I found with this rental was in that the sleeves were pretty long on my short arms, but I imagine that the non-petite wouldn't find any issue with the length.

Wanted something the opposite of body con, which this dress is, but I'm short and the top of my bra kept peaking up above the cutout. Not my favorite dress, but a good, flowy option for when you don't feel like sucking on your stomach all evening.

Very pretty, not quite my style.
These earrings are sparkly and make a statement, but just felt a little gaudy to me. Not quite the polished yet edgy look that I had been going for. The biggest drawback was that the gems are a little loose and rattle in the setting, which I found bothersome.

Perfect small bag!
Hands down my favorite rental so far. I am on unlimited and could not bring myself to return it. It got to the point that my husband bought it for me as a surprise. Perfect for dates, parties, and everyday. I wore this everywhere that I didn't need to bring my laptop bag. Tons of compliments at every occasion. My favorite thing about this guy is that it is 100% jet black. No silver or gold taking away from the badass drama. I also loved that it has a simple clutch shape, but still has a strap so that I can have my hands free. The only con is that the bag was clearly worn when I received it and missing a couple of studs, but that didn't hamper my enjoyment. I don't mind something that has seen a little love. :)

Classy, cool, and cozy.
I rented this for everyday wear with Unlimited and had a difficult time sending it back. It was certainly oversized and bulky on my frame, but it still looked very cool layered with leggings, sweaters, and sneakers. It was warm enough for chilly Portland, Oregon weather and fit seamlessly with both daytime and evening outfits. The only con that I found was that the coat I received looked like it had some wear to it; the wooly fabric was somewhat matted looking, but there was no discoloration or anything terrible.

This bag is beautiful and versatile.
I had a pretty hard time sending this one back. This bag is a beautiful color and texture, and has the perfect amount of shiny, gold hardware. It is large enough to stash all of the essentials, including a notepad and tablet. I wore it to networking events, running errands, and on a family vacation, and found that it fit with all of these occasions perfectly. I particularly liked how the overall look of the bag managed feel harmoniously both classic and edgy. I do have a few complaints, which is why I docked one star from my rating. First, I found it to be a little too floppy; I thought that some more structure would have worked better with the shape of the bag. Second, I didn't like the way that the top of the bag closed. The bag closes with a magnet, but only looks right if folded to one side, and it is very difficult to figure out when on the move. Quite frankly, I will miss this satchel and will definitely try more bags from Elizabeth and James.

I kind of want to buy this coat...
I just got this to wear to a sporting event, work, grad school, and running around in Portland, Oregon. I sort of fell in love with it am having a hard time returning it. I appreciate the pattern, the huge hood, and the leather details. I also love that it has a set of snap-up pockets that you can stash things in and another set of pockets that you can warm your hands in. The only drawback that I found was in that I ordered a size too big because the XS was unavailable. At 5'3" and about 135 lbs, I was swimming in the size small, but I tried to play it off as just being a stylish and intentional oversized coat. This projection must have worked because I got compliments all over town.

This dress fit the bill perfectly.
I needed a dress for a pineapple costume. This dress was just right. I am fairly short and it wasn't too long, even without heels. The color is bright and cheery, plus this bad boy has pockets. I am small chested and the top was tight and has boning, which was very flattering for me and meant it could be a no-bra night, but I would guess would not be as great for larger bosoms. The only flaws were that it was a bit difficult to zip and that the bottom of the dress didn't fall as nicely as it does it the picture; the fabric is rather stiff. Overall, I was happy with the dress and would probably even wear it when not living the life of a pineapple.
