Ramadan dress
Great Ramadan dress! Surprisingly with all these dresses on rent the runway, there are very few modest dresses for celebratory occasions (ie midi/maxi dresses with sleeves, no open back, no plunge neck and in a fun color). This one hits the mark though :)
Bow Front Ruffle Dress
Osman Yousefzada x RTR
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 34A
Fit small
I rented my normal size but it was too small in the hips and waist to wear. Too bad, it's a nice light weight denim with a good wash.

Feminine
I like the shape of this skirt but I did find it ran a touch small. I wore my normal size but I would have liked a little more ease. Looks good with many tops (white, black, light blue, tan).

This color doesn't look very good on me but I still wore it 5 times before sending it back. It's a good bridge between casual and polished. I wore it for work a few times and also to dinner.

Great spring transition piece but the wool top is itchy. I wore it for a casual dinner, but I couldn't bring myself to wear it again. Nice colors.

I bought this dress and it’s been my most worn this summer. Work, brunch, boat day. It’s casual like a vacation dress yet put together. I’ve worn it with brown and black belts.

I’m liking this knee length these days. Fitted top balances the movement of the pleats. Sturdy fabric but airy enough for summer in nyc/dc.

Sophisticated coat in a stunning color. Will make even your yoga outfit look put together. Would have bought it but couldn't seem to get all the lint off it, which bothered me.

Perfect for Mexico City
This is a nicely balanced sweater! The knit is thick and substantial but it's made of cotton so it's soft and the braid on the arms provides great air flow. I wore it so many ways!

Lovely dress worn to work, to the White House, and to a dinner with my parents. Conservative but the buttons make it festive.

Amazing
Yes, the top runs a LITTLE big (I’m between small and medium and a small was perfect) but its still an awesome top. It has side darts so it gives you actual shape vs just a flat bandeau top. Super versatile in that you can wear it with so many bottoms but also just an all around fun layer if you want to play around. 10/10 🔥

Great Blazer Jacket
I'm usually a 4 when it comes to outerwear, so I could be small or medium depending on the jacket. The reviews of this jacket made me concerned that the medium would be TOO oversized but that's all that was available so I picked it anyways. As you can see in the pic, it totally covered up my mini skirt but in a super cute way. I liked how oversized it was because it chilled out the business-y blazer look. Made it feel very 80s. It's fairly lightweight but really great for a transitional season.

Classic silhouette, standout color
I've rented this more times than I can count and should probably buy it. I'm generally a small in tibi but I've worn the XS and medium in this top, too. Small is preferred but the ribbing of the knit gives a good shape no matter how fitted it is. The color is very bright but that's what makes the top so unique. The white zipper gives a little contrast and keeps it sporty. Looks great on zoom! Casual and put together. 10/10

Amazing pants
The color is an amazing saturated lime green and the lightweight dry crape just floats around you leg. Super versatile with the perfect mix of cool, sexy, luxe and tailored. Wore them in Oct in Miami out w friends, on a date, and to an interview. I think there's a matching jacket on RTR? May have to rent the set again! I'm generally a 28 and the 40 fit snug on my athletic hips and thick thighs. The 40 worked but I would probably get the size up next time since the fabric drape is clingy as is.

Sporty Summer Lace
At first look, it's easy to pass by this dress: average cotton lace, slight flair skirt, v-neck. However, I'm happy I finally tried it on! The fabric is breathable yet sturdy and the construction is well done. The fit reminds me of something Khaleesi would wear: flirty v-neck, sporty princess seam bodice, feminine utilitarian skirt. It's a solid work dress but you won't be dying to wear it out afterwards.

Edge & Class
These mixed metal tassel earrings perfectly balance that fine line between edgy, the ball and chain reference, and classy, the sleek silhouette and thoughtful material choice. I love them for the same reason I love all Eddie Borgo's pieces: they're effortlessly cool.

Refined & rebellious
Like all Nina Ricci bags, the quality and class of this bag are unmistakable. As funny as this may sound, the black and army-green stripes mesh between preppy-sporty and rebellious, jail-bird. The chain's quality is very uptown but the chain tassel says rock star, not old lady. I loved being able to adjust the length of the chain by knotting any excess underneath the flap of the bag. Perfect size, has 3 smooth, separated compartments, one of which is skinny and perfect for an iPad mini!

Uptown Edge
Cute, well-structured top that feels very uptown, classy because of the pleated peplum but also sleek with the off-shoulders silhouette. The angular cut-out gives it a dash of edge that keeps it current and youthful. I wore it like this out to dinner in Miami and then with denim shorts and a bucket hat for a music festival the next day. Versatile and doesn't wrinkle- great travel piece!

Sporty, Sexy & Sophisticated
Great LBD that's sophisticated enough for work but flirty enough you'll want to wear it out! I am generally a 2/0 but wore a size 4 to accommodate for the very fitted, racer bodice (I find I do this with most Cinq a Sept dresses) Slight school girl vibes because of the pleated skirt but it's kept contemporary with the sleek drop waist. 10/10 recommend!

Stunning bag
This bag has 3 sections, all of which can fit my iPhone 6, in addition to a card zipper pocket. It's a cross body that feels adult and fun at the same time. Amazing colors, black and soft matcha green (YUM), I get compliments everywhere I've worn this.

Cute day to night dress but not in great shape
It's flirty and bohemian, which is always a super versatile fun look. Keep in mind it is free people which hardly wears well in your own closet so the dress wasn't in great shape- mine was missing a back button and the obvious neck smocking repairs were laughable. I sew so I fixed it quickly but isn't that what I pay RTR to do?

Runs really large!
I generally wear a 26 in pants but rented a 25 because the reviews said the skirt ran large. The 25 was not only a size too large at the waist, but had way too much material in the skirt (and I have pretty thick thighs/booty!!). I have unlimited and it seems like a super versatile skirt but I'm not sure ill even try for the 24 since the fit was so odd...

Great transitional item to take neutral outfits into spring
Gorgeous colors and quality leather. Nice spring touch for those black/white/neutral outfits you wear because it's still chilly in April. The front pattern is leather appliqué which makes the clutch look expensive but also feel a bit stiff. You can fit a phone but not much after that... Oh well, haha.

Cute Silhouette, Runs Large
Good day-to-night shift that is sexy but not showy. The fabric looks/feels like felt so it isn't too luxurious but can be an interesting layer during the transitional months when you want a thicker dress. I usually wear 0/2 but am short (5'2") and the xxs fit only a little but snug (it was all that was available, but it worked).

Fun everyday dress
Daring cut outs but in a non revealing way (please note I'm an A cup). It's an interesting twist on a basic silhouette that really shines in its day to night versatility. Not totally in love with the color, the teal was kind of flat. Did appreciate the nice thick fabric and pockets.

Really fun, trendy yet classy dress
I was very excited to try this on in the Georgetown showroom because the layers look fabulous even on the hanger. When I tried it on, the stylists in the store were just as obsessed with it as I was. I'm a usual size 0 with full B cups and while it looked amazing on, the bottom layer was a little snug. The mesh over layer keep the dress really youthful and trendy and I had a lot of fun wearing it to the Kennedy Center for a Christmas Day show!
