Comfy to lounge in
Very comfortable to lounge in, I like the slouchy fit a lot. I would have bought it if it didn't have a wobbly button band (probably because of the weight of the fabric vs buttons being far apart from each other, or because button band isn't reinforced), which was my least favorite thing about the cardigan. Such a shame because it looked cutest buttoned up instead of unbuttoned.

Cute
It was cute, the design is very sunny which is extra cute in a cold weather. There's an inner zippered pocket which was nice for important essentials like cards and keys. My main qualm is the outer hand pockets-- they sit kind of high so you don't realize your shoulders are kind of doing a lot of work holding your arms at an unnatural angle since the individual pockets are so shallow. If you wear this as your main puffer jacket for two or more days in a row your shoulders will get really sore. I ended up buying a different puffer on my trip with lower pockets and was SO much more comfortable. I'd say this puffer is good for a one off day trip kind of think but not something I'd rent again for anything longer. I really like the Marine Layer brand and love that the material is 100% recycled and ethically made though.

Stand out coat
Really beautiful statement coat that really brings out and makes an outfit, but not made to travel easily. If you live in warm climate like me and use RTR as a way to temporarily have a winter closet when traveling to colder climates, just a head's up this coat is very bulky to fold and also heavy so it doesn't really travel well. You might have to think of bringing it on the airplane as a personal item instead of in your suitcase. Felt a little tight around the armholes but I like how it lay on my body and it looks stellar with heeled boots. Kind of noisy and squeaky when walking or moving. Takes great photos though.

Not a stand-out item, but warm and practical
Wore a size M because I wanted it to be a little more oversized. Worked for my needs and was warm and comfortable. Didn't really feel like anything special, but made for a good layering basic in cold weather and I was glad to have a wool sweater on my winter trip to Japan

It’s giving… Rey in Jakku vibes
I can see how this would work as maternity wear and it’s also so so so comfortable. Very lightweight, unique piece that works out for the year-round warm-weather climate I live in. The only thing is the button at the back isn’t very friendly to get on and off yourself.

So comfy, second time renting.
I love these pants, and this is my second time renting. They’re so comfortable and stylish and very easy to style from airport to city exploring. Pockets are large enough to fit a phone. If they were cheaper I’d buy them!

Effortless, fashionable comfort
Loved these pants. I love natural fabrics and these are a blend of lightweight cotton and linen and are perfect for summer or if you live in warmer weather. There’s pockets and the elastic on the waistband is strong enough that if you put your phone in your pocket it won’t sag too much. Easy to style and wore multiple times. =) Will buy next time it’s on sale.

Super cute office attire!
Great for work/office/convention. Doesn't really suit any other settings and you'll definitely look like you just got off work or are grabbing lunch during office hours if you wear this in non-work settings.

Comfy but not stand out stylish
Definitely a good everyday kind of jean and it's super soft and comfortable and hugs curves nicely. But you won't be getting compliments on this or people asking you where you got your jeans-- looks like normal jeans you'd get anywhere else.

Was sending a pic of my retouched tattoo to my friends and all they noticed was the outfit
Second time leaving a review. First time I got size 2, which felt a little loose and this time I got size 1 and purchased it because I love it so much. The picture is me in size 1, which was the perfect fit. Pretty much the title. I sent a pic of my retouched tatt to my friends and they commented on how much they love my fit instead haha. I get a lot of compliments when I wear these pants. They’re so easy to style and make any outfit look cool. They’re easily my favorite pants and if they get stained with food stuff, since they’re 100% cotton it’s easy to get out with a little bit of Dawn and a quick wash. They’re also very lightweight and nice to wear in warm weather. <3 they have pockets large enough to fit a phone comfortably.

Looks like I’m wearing boxers underneath
The print and color are cute but these are transparent enough that you can see the shorts and pockets lining. It makes it look like you’re wearing white boxers beneath, especially if you’re darker skinned. Which, if that’s the look you’re going for, cool, just not for me. They are a little long but probably would be fine on someone 5’6 or taller, or paired with heels.

No hook and eye closure
The waist is a bit loose for a size 6. I could probably size down one for a cuter fit (for reference my waist is 28.5). I had to keep lifting the zipper because it didn't zip the last few centimeters even when loose. There is also no hook and eye closure so I feel like if I were going to wear it longer than the 10 minutes I did to try it on it would just slowly go down throughout the day and I'd have to keep adjusting.

Loud
Really wanted to love this because it's visually so interesting and comfortable on, but I just couldn't get passed the noise. It sounds like I'm wearing a thick banner or stiff burlap bag as a skirt that slaps together with every stride. If I was wearing this to an art museum where I don't have to move much it would probably be fine but anything else it's just too loud for me to be comfortable with.

Effortlessly sexy and cool!
Love these pants and how choosing where to button the top of it changes the look. It’s like a high rise with the risqué of a low rise in one pair of pants. Very comfy, slightly baggy fit but that’s my preference for these. Excited to wear them throughout the month! The top button stop at my belly button and I’m 5’4.

Super cute and comfy!
Couldn’t done without a belt but it would fall just a little below my belly button (still cute) and I wanted a higher fit. Unique pair of pants that are flattering. I wore with flip flops for a casual look but I imagine with heels these would look city stylish. Can’t wait to wear them again and again this month!

A little heavy for summer, better for fall
It’s cute, much longer than expected but I imagine if you’re at least 5’7 it’ll fit you like it does on the model. It’s kinda warmer than expected also, but I think it would look really cute in fall with some boots. A little disappointed that with all this denim the designer didn’t take advantage by adding secret pockets, or ANY pockets anywhere on this skirt.

It’s giving… tropical clown
I sized up as others recommended and it fit my torso and bottom pretty well, but the bra top sat off center on me and made it look ill-fitting. The pattern and color is beautiful but like others mentioned the top just fits a little weird. The size of the cut out on top and its placement also makes the bottom part of this one piece look a bit clownish. Did not wear out but the fit on the bottom and torso area were comfortable when I was trying it on.

If you’re above a 32C… this won’t fit right
I’m a 32C or 32D depending on the brand and the chest was super tight that some boobage spilled out of the sides… and yet, the straps were super loose and just came off the shoulders. It was both too tight and too loose for me. The fit was super weird. I think this would work for people with smaller chests. It’s a beautiful design though, the colors are better than the pictures and it has pockets! I wish I could have worn I but it just didn’t fit right.

Slit high but loved the dress!
Wore to a friend’s wedding! People loved the dress, my partner especially. Sexy but still classy. The fabric is thin and I’m between sizes (8 and 6) and went with the 6 which was tight in the middle but was super forgiving in the stomach area, so great for sitting and eating. I wore fabric tape at first and was super self conscious when the wind blew because of how high the slit was, and I held the slit at the top to make sure I didn’t accidentally expose myself outdoors, but later in the night during the indoor reception I just removed the fabric tape because it would go undone while sitting and the dress does a pretty good job for coverage even while walking because there’s no wind around.

Effortless classy beauty
Really love that the front draped into a heart. Romantic for dates. Get a petite if you're 5'4 or shorter because I am 5'4 and had to wear six inch heels with the MR size or the pant legs would be draped on the ground. The back is hard to zip solo if you're not flexible so expect to have a friend come with to the bathroom or ask for help. Other than these issues I felt so beautiful and comfy wearing this in the daytime in Vegas summer. Just the right amount of class needed at the Craps table!

"You are so beautiful."
The amount of times my partner said I looked so beautiful made the rental choice a thousand times worth it! I got a lot of double takes while walking (in Vegas! Where many people are dressed nice). I usually wear a 6, but the 8 was overall more flattering a fit throughout the midsection and where the asymmetrical hemline falls (especially when it's windy). The dress stays up and doesn't feel hot at all, but I docked a star because the zipper kept scraping against the inside of my bicep.

Double takes
Beautiful, comfortable and great to go to the office with in a cardigan and then go out for the night by taking that cardigan off. Got a few double takes which works great for the design's timeless class in the front, and trendy edginess in the back. Wore it with gel petals. Would rent again.

D*mn girl, you built. --random guy, 2016
I loved this jumpsuit. It photographs well but looks better in person. Lots of compliments throughout the night and is a great LBD alternative. The chest area was tight enough to go braless, and I wore mine with gel petals-- I think if I was any larger in the chest this jumpsuit might be uncomfortable. It ran a little looser for me in the midsection and legs, and I kind of wished I got the size 4, but if the stomach area is a problem spot it's a true-to-size fit. The 6R height fit great on me after I paired it with three inch stiletto booties. Like most jumpsuits you might need help getting the zip up in the bathroom. This jumpsuit is aces if you want to show off your shoulders and arms, and does the body great favors with its cut outs. It's very comfortable and I did not feel cold as the afternoon transitioned to late night.

Great statement piece, not sure if worth the discomfort
Love, love, love the look of this piece. Classy, elegant and loud enough to tie together any LBD or LBD alternative. Definitely a compliment catcher. It does seem to be made for the smaller, daintier wrist. I have a normal to smaller sized wrist and it just barely clasped closed around mine. I was worried about it falling off while dancing. While beautiful, it does dig into the flesh a bit and needed some adjusting throughout the night. In my case I did feel that the discomfort was worth the fashion, but I think most would find it inconvenient and irritating.

Head turner! Ladies wanted to be in it and men wanted to take it off. Be prepared for compliments.
Incredible dress. It fit true to size and I didn't even bother wearing the medium (for reference my measurements are 36-27-38 and I usually wear a 6). If you have curves, this dress will highlight them-- if you don't have curves, this dress will give you them. It seems to only do you favors and you'll have to thank the smart shading and coloring of this dress for that. Like most reviewers, after the zipper is up it's quite comfortable and its tight bandage style is forgiving to anyone who might be concerned about tummy. Is just a little difficult to walk in, but that's to be expected considering the type of fabric. Speaking of, that is the only reason for my docking one star: the fabric is quite heavy (which is probably why it's so forgiving and complimentary to many figures), and it gets really hot if you plan on doing any dancing. Even in cold weather, you could sweat straight through this if you're jumping around too much. Other than that, beautiful!

Beautifully elegant and sexy but still practical for colder weather.
The material is extremely soft and I had many friends petting me on the arm without realizing they were doing it. As for how I felt in it--I felt very graceful. I had equal amounts of compliments about how elegant I looked as I did on how sexy I was in it. It does run a little large-- usually wear a S but tried the XS on first and new the S would be too big for me. The XS fit just about everywhere nicely, though it could have just been a little tighter around the shoulders as I had to hike them up occasionally throughout the night. Highly recommend you wear an adhesive backless bra or use fashion tape to help hide bra straps. This dress dipped as low for me as it did on the model.
