Sensitive Skin Reaction
The style was a little awkward with how it was cut on the sides, it was boxy. Sadly, my sensitive skin didn't like the fabric or what the sweater was last cleaned it. My chest broke out in hives during my commute to the office, I had to turn around and finish the day working from home in a loose tshirt!

Wearing a Box
I thought I would like this but the fabric is much thicker than I anticipated, even being french terry, and the shirt puffs out a lot. It looked silly on me, nothing like what it did on the model.

Very long & high waisted
Though I did like these pants, I can see how they wouldn't work for others. They are long (brushing the ground with 2" inch heels on, and I'm already 5'8") and the cut is very high on the waist.

SO short!!
It was the shortest top I've ever rented... a nice fabric and thickness for colder weather, but no pants of mine were ever close to high enough for me to wear this and not have my stomach exposed at work.

Not for me. Colors were bold and bright, and the fabric was nice, but I wasn't comfortable with it on and I felt it fit my body awkwardly.

Just okay
Fit fine when I first put it on but the dress stretched awkwardly in the midsection area as the day went on, it developed an unflattering crease by the fabric where it was folded over on itself while I sat at my desk, yet NO stretch overall throughout the rest of the dress. Couldn't wait to take it off at the end of the day!

Watch out - ZERO stretch!
The dress looked nice and I received some compliments but it was difficult to put on and wasn't great to wear on a long day. I'm normally a small (maybe a medium) and the medium was very hard to put on since the fabric has zero stretch to it, and by the end of the day it felt uncomfortable on my sensitive skin with how stiff it was.

I’m a 34A and can wear a 2-6 depending on the brand. Theres no stretch to the fabric and I couldn’t zip it over my ribcage. It’s a beautiful cut and style, I’m SO disappointed with the size.

Cute but short!
Had the perfect high waisted ponte pants to wear, otherwise it wouldn't have worked. It's a VERY light fabric (just FYI if you're hoping for it to be warm). I wore it to the office and really liked it!

I wanted to love this! The fit made me look like board, not great for an athletic build. It was cute from certain angles but the fabric was weird and felt awful on my skin by the end of the day. Won’t rent again!

Loved!!
SO comfortable and flattering. The fabric felt like butter, I’ve never worn jeans like this before. They were slightly long and the fit was a little tight in the groin area overall at first when sitting, but they stretched out a tiny bit, just enough to make it work and then didn’t overstretch. The cut made my backside look amazing, good enough that my boyfriend bought them as an early holiday gift for both for him and me!

Nice sweater dress for work
I liked this dress a lot and received a lot of compliments when wearing it to work. The slit was a little high in front and it was tight on my bust area even though I'm only a 34AA. I'd size up if you were bigger chested for sure, since you need the buttons to lay flat to look complimentary.

Lost its shape immediately!
I was really excited about this dress. I tried it on and it looked great initially, on trend and the fabric was so thick and heavy but not itchy. I wore it work and the moment I got out of my car, I felt the back of the dress sag. Throughout the day, it stretched more and more and I felt terrible in it by the end. The slit in front dropped more than an inch lower, the sleeves ended up with a weird pucker in them, and it felt like I was wearing a saggy diaper on my backside. The pics don't show it as bad as it felt and looked in-person, but you can see the sag from the back at end of the day versus the beginning.

Great day to night!
Wore all day at a work conference then out for dinner and drinks that evening. Simple and sophisticated, I received a ton of compliments. It's very form fitting and the sleeves were a little long but loved it regardless. Note: it's warm overall, so the dress worked great in the freezing hotel rooms my conference was held in but keep that in mind for yourself!

Fun for a warm, fall night!
Wore this for a date night at home and then out to dinner with friends after a conference in NYC. Felt a little too sexy for the vibe the date night restaurant had but it was perfect for a girls dinner followed by a speak-easy adventure. I'm small chested so got away with pasties since a bra isn't an option and it was very short. Overall felt amazing in it!

Just for show, nothing functional
The style of the coat was nice but that's as far as it went for me. It's shorter sleeves so you can't wear it with anything long sleeved underneath or it'll look awkward. There is no way to close it (no tie or button) and it's SUPER lightweight. Doesn't provide any warmth at all. I may rent again if I have a specific outfit in mind, but I found it wasn't great to try and wear over most things.

Great for small busts!
I have a 34AA chest and this top was perfect for work! It did go a little low but since I don't have any cleavage it was still appropriate for the office. Had to tie it as tight as it could go though and did need to make sure it didn't slip a few times. Overall though I loved it, will rent again.

Cute but long and lost it's shape
These pants were cute but I'm 5'8" and still needed 3" heels to not have them drag on the ground. I'm fit without much in the hips but have a larger peach in the back. By the end of the day, I was pulling the pants up around the waist every time I stood up. Cute but wouldn't rent again.

You could see right through it!
Although the fabric is very soft and the fit was cute, the fabric was see-through in certain lighting. I tried every kind of nude shapewear and underwear combination to no avail, and you could still see outlines. I sadly couldn't wear it!

Elevated Daytime Sweaterdress
Beautiful color and comfortable fabric. I'm lead shaped with a longer torso and it hit me at just the right spot, any shorter or longer and it would have looked very boxy and unflattering. I wore it to work with the buttons closed and received several compliments. Although good for the office, I then wore it to the second day of a professional conference and felt it was too causal for that environment.

Liked but not loved
I wanted to love this dress but the empire waist hit me about a half inch too low, so I had to keep adjusting it. The arms were long and a little tight but I scrunched them up my forearms slightly and it looked nice that way. It was cute to wear to the office and then out to dinner with friends that night. Fabric is heavier and not super soft but the color was stunning and the back details were cute. I wish I had worn my hair up that day though, since having long hair down covered it all except the string ends.

Wanted to love, but HUGE.
I was so excited to try these pants! I am normally a 2/4 and tried the 2. It was perfect everywhere EXCEPT the waist, it was HUGE. I tried the 0 and it was smaller overall, but the size was still too big to wear. Super disappointed!

Beautiful pattern but didn't love the dress
Although a summer print, the fabric was very thick and heavy. This would not be a good choice for a hot summer day! For a summer occasion on the cooler side, it would be perfect. It was VERY tight for me across my ribcage and was tough to zip. If you're a single gal without a helper, you may want to skip this one! Luckily, my child is 11 so was old enough (and strong enough) to help me finish the long zip up the back. Note: the length ended up being mid-calf for me, and I'm 5'8" with long legs!

Liked, not loved
The color was nice and I wanted to love it, but the empire waist was at a weird spot on me where I had to hike up the bottom making the top looser than pictured. I also rolled the sleeves back on themselves where it's ribbed, which was a much more flattering look on me overall than keeping the sleeves straight. I'd recommend avoiding this dress if you have shorter arms or are pear/apple shaped due to the cut of it! It's definitely designed for more of a straight and narrow body type.

Feminine, fresh, and fun!
This was the perfect dress for a summer girls night in Boston. It fit like a glove in all the right places yet still felt breezy and cool and I received a lot of compliments. I would absolutely get this again! Note: I have a very small chest (34AA) and it was snug, so it may not be the best if you’re bigger! With that, it’s often hard for me to find clothing to fit well due to my small chest size, and it was really nice to not have that issue for once!

I liked the feel and look of this jumpsuit but it didn't fit me well at all. I have a very small chest and there was no way to adjust the straps, so it looked odd. I was hoping to wear it on a date but wasn't able to unfortunately!

Black Tie Wedding in Boston
I rented three dresses for this black tie affair and none of them looked nice on me. In a panic I called RTR and they were able to overnight me an option to my hotel in Boston versus my home address, the service was amazing! I have a smaller chest so I was worried about how to top would fall however the fabric dropped beautifully and I didn't even have to wear a bra! If you do need to wear a bra be warned that you'll need a backless bra since it does dip low. Overall I felt extremely sexy and unique in a crowd of different style black dresses. I would definitely rent this again!

Simple and elegant.
I rented this dress for a wedding on the coast of Maine in mid-August. I received so many compliments! Simple navy in a nice thick fabric, I would not recommend this if you're wearing to an event where it's going to be hot since the fabric doesn't breathe. For an overcast Maine evening it was perfect! I'm so glad I rented this dress, and I will definitely rent it again if another occasion calls for it.

Destination wedding at El Dorado Royale in Mexico.
The dress was gorgeous, I received so many compliments and was perfect for a destination wedding. I highly recommend a strapless bra since the straps in back don't work for a normal bra. I could have worn a size 6 in the top however I have a large rib cage for my size (38) and a smaller size wouldn't have zipped. I danced all night and although it was slightly uncomfortable with it being sweaty it looked just as amazing at the end of the night as it did in the beginning.
