Love love love
I adored this dress! Super comfortable for working from home, but easily transitioned to an evening non-profit board meeting. Other reviewers mentioned the hidden floral print in the blue, so I used my photo to show it!

Winner winner chicken dinner!
Fit was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing! They're even long enough! I wore these 3x during my rental - out to a celebratory dinner, a cocktail hour and for making/eating dinner at home on a relaxing Sunday evening. I'd absolutely rent them again!

Crisp white blouse
Last time I rented this top, I got a 36. This time I tried the 38, hoping it might be a little longer to make the peplum hit a little lower on my long torso (I'm 5'11") but it didn't really work out that way. Still a great blouse that looks fantastic on so many other reviewers!

LOVED
Wore twice in the span of 1.5 weeks and would wear again and again. I'd purchase if it wasn't so expensive! Other reviewers commented about the arm holes being wide but I didn't have any issue with it - actually appreciated how it caused the vest to lay flat instead of getting caught up in my armpit area!

Tall ladies - this one's for you!
I loved the length of this skirt! I ended wearing it more casually (with a tshirt and chunky sandals) but the matching set was beautiful on other reviewers, so I'd definitely consider it again in the future if I need to dress up a bit. A fit note - the waist was relatively structured (no elastic) and the Medium fit me snugly.

Crisp | Casual | Comfortable
Loved the polished casual look of this. The front is a little narrow across the chest, so I will look for the next size up next time I rent. Considering buying it for its versatility, though!

I ended up wearing a different dress to my event. I wasn't sold on this fabric (poly) and should probably have sized up to a large

Great dress, despite the weird bustline. I would absolutely wear it again!

Great closet staple!
I have rented this multiple times in size S (first in 2020) but ended up buying it (5 years later!) in a size M for a bit more room and longer sleeves. As other reviewers have said, this is somewhere between a sweater and top, almost like a ribbed scuba fabric. It lends great structure to any outfit and the white part of the print is bright and clean-looking, even though I know this style has been in RTR's rotation awhile. This has been a great travel top and has accompanied me on multiple trips (work and personal)!

Size up
I could see a top like this being an active part of my everyday wardrobe. The bright white is refreshing, the thick fabric gives it great structure and the shape would be great with a variety of bottoms. My only issue? The cute squared-off corner in the armpit area was not very flattering on me. I'm usually a size 4-6 but would consider sizing up to an 8 to see if more room through the chest would draw less attention to this little plump. I (re-?) ironed it before wearing.

Mega Hit!
I loved this dress and got so many compliments at the black tie optional wedding I attended. It is made from thick materials, so I was glad that the evening was a little cooler than I was expecting. I am curious how the 4 would fit, as I definitely had some room throughout the 6 (including the chest area without a bra). I was comfortable though and would absolutely wear it again!

Nice surprise!
I ended up wearing a different dress to the wedding I attended, but this was a great option. I'll definitely consider renting it again, but may also try the 6 to see if I like a little more room.

Stylish & Cozy
This jacket is like a warm hug. I've worn it for a few weeks to all the classic fall activities - to a bonfire, during a cool and windy day at a pumpkin patch, even a casual hike. I'll probably keep it a bit longer to see how it holds up to cooler temperatures. It's more puffy than I expected, the sleeves are slightly short and the pockets aren't insulated... but I love it!

Relaxed yet polished
I liked this more than I expected to! The arm holes were a bit wider than usual and the sleeves a bit short but, in the end, it was a casual but polished piece that I wore multiple times during my rental

ADORE
I wish my life was full of reasons to wear this jumpsuit! I wore it out to dinner and while working from home on an average Tuesday - it was suitable for both occasions! I previously rented the XS and it was way too tight through the chest. This one was much better, but I still chose not to wear a bra. Can't wait to rent again!

Loved this more than I expected to!
The tie at the neck is functional so you can adjust how revealing it is and the fabric is sheer enough to be light and airy but not inappropriate. I wore this a bunch of times while I had it and will re-rent for the springtime.

I loved this one, although I would recommend sizing down a size. I'd absolutely rent again, next time in size 2!

This was a really lovely dress - light and flowy. The colors were amazing for a fall wedding but I think it could be worn more casually in other seasons, too.

Super cropped
Love the color and feel of this sweater but the length and sleeves are super cropped. I wore it over a denim shirt because I didn't have any pants high-waisted enough to cover my midriff in this sweater. I would definitely get more use out of this if it fit better - give it a shot if you're more petite than me!

Loved this! A little hard to open/close but I was please with how much it held (even my big everyday wallet!) despite its small, structured shape. A great weekend bag!

Not as bright as I hoped
The white of this top was not as crisp and bright as I had hoped. Even next to blue jeans, it looked dirty all over. Perhaps because it's a thinner material. Wore it once and sent it back. Love the print, though!

Great Print!
This is an easy dress - easy to wear and dress up or down. I'm 5'11" and the waist seam sat farther above my natural waist than I would have liked, especially while sitting. I would probably have preferred a size 4, but was able to wear the 2 pretty comfortably. I also had to pin the top for work. Wore this with the POOLSIDE TWO TONE ASHLEIGH BAG, also from Rent the Runway!

Too short for long legs
I'm 5'11" and wasn't too keen on where these pants hit my leg. Too short to be ankle length, but too narrow to be a wide-leg crop, so they ended up looking like pants my mom would wear. I sent them back without wearing. For size reference, I'm usually between a 4 and 6 in bottoms and the size 4 in these pants seemed like it would work well. The waist was perhaps slightly big, but I don't think I would have gone any smaller.

Eh
I like the idea of this dress, but wasn't crazy about the jersey fabric. It felt like a shapeless nightgown, so I didn't wear it.

Tall-Friendly!
Wore this for a casual day at work followed by a rooftop happy hour. I felt amazing in all white, especially with the wide, flowy legs. I wore a strapless bra, but may have been able to pull off a criss-cross back. I was worried about the torso being too short for my long frame but it wasn't too bad!

Great for long-waisted gals!
Rented this for an after-work rooftop barbecue. I was delighted by the length - it could accommodate my long torso with only a minor wedgie when bending over, but it loosened up a bit after sitting in it during the work day. Going to try my best to wear it again before sending it back!

I felt amazing in this dress. Definitely a longer length and snug through the ribs/shoulders but not terribly uncomfortable. Good weight for the office and didn't wrinkle as much as I expected it to with sitting all day.

Purple pants seem like a huge statement and dressing challenge, but these are super versatile and a lovely, neutral-ish gray/purple color. The other reviews were correct - the waist is super high, they run slightly large (I may get the 4 next time) and the fabric was a pretty light wool (hello to 3 seasons of wear). I wore them to work with black and white striped top, black blazer and a neck scarf. They did wrinkle after sitting all day, but I will absolutely rent these again.

I can't help loving this sweater!
A total grandpa sweater due to its boxy fit, but the weight makes it feel high quality and the texture is lovely. I've worn it twice so far - to casual Friday at work (shown) and to weekend brunch over a dark denim shirt with black jeans. I've received multiple compliments so far and will definitely wear it at least a third time before I send it back. My only complaint is the short sleeve length - if it weren't for that, I would absolutely buy this.

Not for the long-waisted!
I'm usually a 4-6, so I rented the 6 in hopes it wouldn't be too tight for work. The length was great, but the body was baggy and definitely made for a shorter torso. Because of the size and fabric, the dress gave me "hips" where I don't have them - up near my hip bones rather than on my legs/rear. Not flattering, even with a blazer. Otherwise it's a nice dress!

Will rent a smaller size
Other reviews commented that this skirt runs small, so I ordered an 8 (I'm usually a 4-6). This just hung on me and wasn't the high-waisted silhouette I thought it would be. I'll definitely try again in a size 6!

Love these!
The thick denim, color and cut felt very "mom jeans" to me, but I LOVE them. The embroidery keeps them fresh. I wore them with a tee and blazer for casual Friday at work, then also with a black tee for casual weekend activities. I'm so tempted to buy them and will definitely be renting again!

Liked them better than expected
The fabric of these pants is a little flimsy and they arrived horribly wrinkled, so I wasn't too keen on them from the start. After some ironing, I liked them much better. They ended up being a great casual outfit but could also be dressed up with heeled sandals. I'd consider renting them again!

Not for the long-waisted
I'm 5'11" so was pleasantly surprised that this dress didn't seem too short on me. That said, the elastic waist rode up really easily and looked/felt a little ridiculous on my long torso. It's certainly a cute casual dress for someone with shorter proportions than mine, though!

Some quirky fit things, but great for work
Many reviewers commented on how tight the arms of this dress are, so I sized up to a Large. The body of the dress fit well, but the armpits and arms were a bit baggy (and yet still short on my long arms!). I'm 5'11" and the length was great for me. It should be noted that the waist seam on the dress was definitely lower than my natural waist, but not quite a drop-waist.

Refined
Despite being a sweater, the knit of this skirt is fine enough not to add any bulk. I loved the fit. Word of advice, you wont be able to tuck anything into it (the fabric will show the lumps) so plan your top accordingly. It did wrinkle a bit on the backside from sitting at my desk all day, but that wasn't a surprise. I'll be wearing this again before I send it back!

Fun, easy bag!
I rented this bag for a weekend with friends in Savannah and loved it. The ability to wear it crossbody meant my hands were free to stroll and shop without having to worry about my bag. It isn't huge, but I was surprised when I was able to fit my full-sized wallet, a small sunglasses case and a mini bottle of water in it. The closure is really easy to open and close, thanks to a little trick latch so you dont have to unhook the whole carabiner. Great color, too. I'm so tempted to buy it but will absolutely rent it again!
