So blah
I wanted to love this but it was a weird fit and super unflattering. Maybe I needed to go down a size.

I loved this skirt so much and got so many compliments on it. I didn't want to return it but it was still too much to buy it, but I'll be returning again next year.

This dress fits so well. Unfortunately it was so cold that I never got a chance to wear it, but I will rent again.

Tough for taller girls
I really liked the overall fit of these, but the inseam is very short. Because of the flare at the bottom, it made the length very noticeable. I wore with some booties and I think it worked ok, but I would have loved much more if they were two inches longer.

Quite short
The dress fit me fine, but I think this would look better on a petite person. It was super short and the waist hit a bit too high on me as a 5’9” person so it just poofed out too much. You’ll need to steam this dress because it wrinkles easily.

Weird fit
This had too much fabric bunched up under the armpits so I found it very unflattering. I didn’t wear it and would not rent again.

Versatile dress
I liked this dress and it showed off my curves nicely. The collar had been stretched a bit but it still looked good. The slit is a nice touch to make it more fun. The fabric would be good for warmer weather.

Sleeves are short but otherwise loved it
I really like this jacket, but the arms were a bit short for me, which made it uncomfortable to be in the cold temps without also wearing gloves. The pockets are fleece-lined which feels great and the hood is also great. I wish it had a thumb loop on the sleeve, but it doesn’t so I had to knock a star.

Liked but didn't love
It's hard to get tie this tightly enough on your own. I also think the straps are a bit long so it could fit better on most if they were slightly shorter. The asymmetrical hem wasn't my favorite, but overall the pattern of the dress was nice and got a lot of compliments.

Hard to zip!
I loved this dress and almost wore it, but ended up wearing a different rental in the end. The color is stunning and the bodice helps make this otherwise tame dress look pretty sexy. I would rent this one again, but I will caution you not to rent it unless you will have someone around to help you with the zipper! Part of why I didn’t wear this was because I couldn’t get the zipper up with the way your arms are restricted. So if you live alone, you’ve been warned! I rented the UK8L and UK10L. I’m between a 4/6 and the UK10L was too loose on me.

Soooo gorgeous!
I got so many compliments on this dress. I think at least ten people came up to tell me how much they loved it. I wish I had a full body shot of the dress but I didn’t take many pictures at this event. I’m usually between a 4/6 and because this one was so flowy on the bottom the 4 was perfect. I wore pasties and actually didn’t need any fashion tape — good posture was fine. I wore with a small 2 inch heel and the length was great. Definitely will rent again!

Made me look like a milk maid
I did not wear this. The medium was quite large on me and it was a lot heavier than I expected. The small might have been better.

Very cute - quite fitted around the ribs
I got so many compliments on this dress! It was perfect for an outdoor wedding where the weather was in the high 60s. The fit was fine but the wrapped area around the ribs was a little tight at times. I would recommend pasties for it due to the back and the material being a bit see through. Only cons was the pleating made it look a little wrinkly

Very pretty and classic
I really like this necklace. It's delicate and classic I planned to buy it, but noticed RTR is selling it for $148 when it only costs $80 to buy it directly from Kendra Scott so I'll buy it directly through them instead.

A little too big and scratchy
The neckline for this was too big, which made it look more frumpy than just oversized since it hung so heavily. I also found it way too itchy and didn't end up wearing it even though I loved the color.

I like this brand's sweaters generally, but this one was a little too scratchy for me and it went unworn.

So flattering -- love the Steph Dress!
Love the dress -- I had previously rented in the blue and white checked pattern. So flattering and works for multiple seasons. I am usually a 4/6 and rented the small which was great. I probably could have work the XS if that's all there was available.

I'm obsessed. This was so comfy and worked for multiple occasions. I really wanted to buy this one and never return it, but it was still a bit pricey.

Cute but short
This is a cute shirt, but it will look best on more petite types (as most Madewell things do). I'm 5'9" and the proportions just didn't look right so I didn't end up wearing it.

Cute dress but a bit big
I am usually a 4/6. I rented the 6 since I have large shoulders and wanted to be able to move my arms. The dress was just way too big in the larger size. That said, it's a pretty color and a cute cut. I would try to rent it again in the smaller size. There is plenty of room so I'd recommend going with your true size or potentially smaller.

SO short - not for tall girls
I wanted to wear this so badly, but if I lifted my arms at all the hem was above my butt. I'm usually a 4/6 but would have done better in the 8. This dress is probably best for petite girls where the length isn't as problematic. That said, the pattern is quite cute and would look great on people of the right height! (For reference, I'm 5'9").

Great work dress
Nice, sleek fit. Slate & Willow tends to run small so I ordered a M and it fit perfectly. The neck isn't tight which can bother me with mocknecks. Definitely recommend.

Super cute dress, but runs large!
This is a cute dress, but I don't think I'm going to end up wearing it to the wedding bbq party I rented it for. I looked at Shoshanna's size guide and since it seemed like they ran small, I ordered up. Unfortunately, it is several inches too big in the body so it isn't as cute as it would be a size down. I'm usually a 4 or 6, but clearly should have been a 4 in this one.

Super flattering silhouette
Loved the silhouette of this shirt. I wore it today at work with some white jeans and got a ton of compliments. I will absolutely rent this again and don't want to send it back! I usually size up in Elizabeth and James and like clockwork, the 6 was perfect.

Nice clutch that holds a lot!
I liked this purse a lot. It held everything I needed and then some. My only complaint is that I didn't like the gold wrist chain. It didn't really help hold it so I just tucked it inside the purse.

The earrings stayed put all night and were very pretty! They weren't too heavy, which is often a complaint of mine with larger earrings - I'm generally just a studs girl.

Gorgeous color - so many compliments
I loved this dress so much I wish I could buy it. Everyone complimented the color and dress overall. It is relatively stretchy and I wore it without and shapewear. I am usually a 4 or 6 in Likely dresses and in this case the 6 wasn't as form fitting so I went with the 4. Only cons to me were that it bunched a bit and wrinkled pretty easily so after sitting in it for a bit the bottom wrinkled up. Still loved it and would absolutely rent again.

Great color, comfortable fit, lots of compliments
This dress was perfect for a cocktail attire wedding. I got a lot of compliments - the dress really hit in all the right places. I wish I had a better picture - the dress is slightly darker in most lighting. It's a really pretty burgundy color and not as red-red as it looks here.
