Beautiful colors!
Fabric doesn't wear well — after the first wear,
Brushed Wool Blend Boyfriend Coat

Fun, but not over-the-top!
This is a larger cut, so choose your normal size or size down. I paired it with a black bodysuit and black skinny jeans to eliminate bulk. Not so flashy at work that I was uncomfortable, but enough to draw some attention/compliments! Would be most suitable to a nighttime setting.
Plaid Sequin Blazer
Waverly Grey
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 8

Bulky but well-constructed.
Well made and feels expensive, but too bulky for my taste. Didn't feel like I could move around in it easily, which is something I expect from Lululemon/athleisure brands.

Itchy!
Looks cute on and in photos, but too itchy (especially at the neckline) for me to wear more than a couple hours.
Camel Cold Shoulder Sweater
Jason Wu x RTR
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8

Weight: 150lbs

Tight arms!
Loved this shirt with the exception of the sleeves. The arms were uncomfortably tight and I ended up not wearing.

Adam Lippes x RTR
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36B
Completely sheer
This shirt is not lined and didn't feel like a $250 blouse. I rented this as a "safety shirt" for an event thinking I could pair it with anything, but unfortunately it just wasn't right.

Perfect dress
Perfect dress! I would feel comfortable wearing this to work or an event. The first RTR dress I might have to own simply because of its versatility and quality.
Black Flutter Sheath

Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 5"

Bust: 34C
Heavy dress!
Heavy fabric, and a lot of it! This dress ran large and I didn't end up wearing because I didn't like the fit. Will try another size in the future, but need to remember the fabric makes it hard to wear in warm weather, and probably too much for work.

Nice sheath dress.
Good fit, but just didn't love it and didn't end up wearing. May try again in the future!

Size for the slip
The dress has a lot of fabric, so I would say it runs large EXCEPT the slip that accompanies it runs very true to size, maybe a bit small. I would say the slip length was borderline non-work appropriate, but the overlay made it acceptable (if I watched how I was seated).

Short but cute!
Length made this uncomfortable for work, but would be cute for a weekend!

Ruffle Springs Dress

Cute skirt, a lot of fabric.
The skirt is very cute, but it was hard to pair it with anything that didn't add bulk due to amount of fabric on skirt. The 10 was a hair big if I wore at my natural waist, but the 8 would have been too tight.

Simple but cute!
Kind of odd colors for a light summer dress (more muted than pictures show). Would size up - typically I am an 8 and needed the Large in this dress.

The fabric and cut of this dress is outstanding!
The color and cut of this dress were great! Tags on - always a bonus! Also, there is lining in the chest area which made it a bra-free option for me (still work appropriate for a 34C).

A little too shapely for work, but great material!
The material was great, but a bit too form-fitting for my hourglass shape to make this work appropriate. Would probably like better for going out (with shapewear - hugs every curve and bump).

Burgundy Bixia Dress
By Malene Birger
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 36B
Well made!
Cutouts places perfectly and the material was high quality. It just wasn't perfect (I think I was probably between sizes, which happens since I have a small chest compared to my hips) and I was looking for a WOW.

Did not wear, but would rent for the right event!
The fit was great and the fabric is very nice.. thick, but no stretch. The garment is well made - just wasn't "wow" enough for my event! Would be better in a casual setting than a night out (though the low neckline might make this tricky...)

Slightly blush tones in the gems made these earrings really pop!

Beautiful dress! More burgundy than maroon.
The sleeves on this dress are no joke! Size up if you have not-skinny arms. The 8 fit the rest of my body well, but could not get it past my elbows! The 10 fit well - a little loose all over, but the arms were still tight. No stretch here, so be cautious.

Fabric had several problems - loose threads, gathers, etc.
Boning would have been nice if the dress fit me, was very large in the bust (I am 36C).
