Odd fit
Oversized in the body (too much fabric, in fact) and then too snug across the hips.

Classic Bomber Jacket
Great Jones
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 20
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 40G
Cute and comfy
Perfect for fall or spring weather or to layer under a coat when it’s colder. I liked the fabric a lot and the cut was good. My only criticism is that the sleeves were very long. I’m only 5’2”, so that’s often an issue for me, but these were particularly long. Not a deal breaker.

Elevated with an edge
Rented this for work, but ended up wearing for the holidays as well. Got compliments on it and felt great wearing it. Super comfortable fabric (felt like high-quality leather) that didn't wrinkle, so great for travel too. Nice, deep saturated color. Will rent again.

WFH variety at its best
RTR is my source when I need to jazz things up for on-screen time for work. This blouse didn't disappoint. It was comfortable enough to keep me from fidgeting and looked professional and attractive on screen.

So of the moment
"Shackets" are in this year and this one is such an elevated version. I don't normally wear plaid, but I loved this one. The fabric was so luxurious. The leather buttons were a nice detail. It fit great (sized down). Perfect for cool but not super cold weather. Got a lot of compliments and ended up renting it twice.

I should have listened to the reviews!
I'm such a purple fan that I was swayed by the color in the picture and ignored a lot of the other reviews. Don't. Others have already said it. I should have followed their advice.

Had such potential
I loved the fit and fabric of this top. It was super comfortable but added a little structure to my WFH look. Unfortunately, the color is such a pale grey that it washed me out, especially on video. Might look better on someone with darker or at least more olive skin tone, so don't rule it out. I have pretty light skin with pink undertones.

Grey Unstructured Button Down
Club Monaco
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Oversized in a good way
This definitely runs large, but that's what I wanted. Wore it for outdoor dining and it completed an otherwise all-black outfit with some nice fall flair. Fabric not too scratchy for this type of wool. Would rent again.
Striped Shirt Jacket
No. 21
Size Worn: 48
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Way too small!
Can't believe this is the same designer as some of the other No. 21 items I've rented. The fit was so off. I couldn't even get it closed, let alone buttoned.
Striped Lace Cardigan
No. 21
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Perfect for layering!
Loved everything about this sweater/jacket. The combination of fabrics make it interesting and the cut is actually flattering for something with this much heft to it. I'd definitely rent again.
Contrast Sweater Jacket
No. 21
Size Worn: 48
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Great style for the season
Wore this for outdoor dining and backyard Thanksgiving. Perfect layering piece. The flannel is so soft. It's fitted enough to not be boxy but not so much as to be uncomfortable. A little snug in the hips, but I wore it open over a cashmere sweater and it was great. Wouldn't buy it at its retail price, but would definitely rent again.
Lodge Peak Ski Hoodie
Aztech Mountain
Size Worn: 48
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Stylish and comfortable
Perfect sweater for a casual day at work. Fit great and looked polished. Short enough in the front to not overwhelm my shorter frame but the length in the back added some style.
Eura Poncho
Elk
Size Worn: ONESIZE
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Loved the feel, not the fit
Soooo soft, would have thought it was the best lamb skin leather. But cut small so didn't end up wearing it. Felt like I'd end up fidgeting all day. Life's too short.
Naum Top
Nanushka
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 14

Odd pockets
Cute jacket that would have been fun for work. But those pockets! Placement, size, puffiness. Not flattering on my frame at all.
Woven Bomber Jacket
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Luxurious fabric
Yes, it's meant to be a boxier first, but the fabric is so high-quality that it drapes so well. Wore it with black pants and a scarf for an important work event and felt great the whole time. Had a jacket with me, but didn't need it. Blouse stood on its own.
Camica Penny Top

Size Worn: 50
Usual Size: 14

Fun pop of color
This is one of the reasons I love RTR. I don't usually do this much color, so I wouldn't have bought this sweater. But it was fun to wear and it did get compliments on it. So I'd rent again but not something I'd wear every week. Perfect rental.
Dune Sweater

Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14

Compliments galore!
When my mom says something looks good, especially in black, I know I've found a winner. So comfortable, but doesn't look baggy. Wearing it multiple times before returning. Would buy, except trying to limit purchases and just take more advantage of TRR these days.
Black Slouchy Cable Knit Sweater
KF/KaufmanFranco x RTR
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16

Comfortable and versatile.
Fit well, comfortable fabric. Could work in its own or under a blazer or hoodie, depending on the weather. Would definitely rent again.
Star Supersoft Sweatshirt
MONROW
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"

Nice change from black
I usually wear black pants for work, with the occasional venture out into dark navy territory. I took a chance with these and am so glad I did. They fit well, we're very comfortable-- even for a day that included travel -- and looked stylish. I rented them twice, in fact, and will rent again.

Luxury top in every way
The fabric draped so beautifully. The color is a really nice dark blue. Paired with dark navy pants and black cashmere sweater of my own for a sophisticated business casual look. When I got too warm, as so often happens these days, the blouse stood on its own perfectly. Just needed a cami underneath, as it was pretty low cut.
Sonia Long Sleeve Blouse
DEREK LAM

Elevated basic
Great fabric and comfy fit made this a nice top for pairing under sweaters and vests. Got a couple of wearing a in before returning and would rent again for sure.
Black Asymmetrical Sweater
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Fun and fanciful
Rented this for Thanksgiving at my sister's house. Perfect for driving around in the 'burbs where I didn't need a coat. Got out of the car and immediately noticed a strong resemblance between my top and her dogs, hence the picture. Don't have much need for it day to day in the city -- it's pretty bulky. But perfect if you're going skiing or just hanging out someplace while others are.
Vivien Fleece Hoodie
BOGNER FIRE + ICE
Size Worn: 2XL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Comfy, cozy and not black
Decided to add a little color to my usual weekend sweater routine with this one. The fabric is nice and soft, surprisingly so since it's not 100% cashmere. Loved the color. A little long for my 5'2" and the v-neck is a wide one. Wouldn't rush to rent again, but enjoyed it when I wore it.
Wool Shawl Collar Sweater
VINCE.
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 16

Edgy sophistication
Wore this for work with my own suede, waterfall vest over it to provide a little coverage over the waistline. Complimented the leather cuffs perfectly. Love the midnight/black combo!
Blue Leather Cuffs Shirtdress
VINCE.

Sophisticated and fun
I wore this to the theater over the holidays with leggings and a tunic top but also plan to wear it again with pants and a blouse on a work trip this week. It feels amazing and the color is so rich.
Velvet Hana Vest
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe
Size Worn: 52
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"

Comfy and cozy
Walked all over Zürich on a crisp, fall day and it was the perfect layering piece. Warm enough, arms are covered (prefer this in a poncho) but roomy to be able to move easily. Soft fabric.
Heather Cowl Neck Poncho

Perfect travel bag!
Roomy without being heavy. Straps are comfy and sturdy, either over the shoulder or cross-body. Plus, different enough that I don't feel like I see myself coming and going everywhere, which I like in an accessory. Loved it so much I bought it!
Black Camo Wingman Bag
Think Royln
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Perfect fall sweater.
This drapes well, is heavy enough for a cool day but not as heavy as wool or cashmere, and the stripes are actually quite flattering in the way they fall. Love the color combination. I've worn it a few times already and want to fit in one more before I send it back.
Striped Front Drape Cardigan
Thakoon x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Loved the style, just not meant to be
Fun way to add some color to my fall wardrobe. Yet every time I went to wear it something held me back. I realized it was pilled/overworn, so I didn't feel great in it. I ended up returning it without wearing it. Might try again for a newer version.

Great fabric and print
I was so excited to wear this. I loved how it felt and thought the print was fun. But, it was too small on me. I guess an XL in an "edgier" brand isn't the same as, for example, an XL in Athleta, where a hoodie like this would have fit me just fine (offering this info for comparison).

Great color for summer!
Nice punch of color with black pants. The material was comfortable and traveled well. The neckline was a tiny bit low cut for work for my taste, but I rolled with it and felt good anyway.
Double Rainbow Top
Trina Turk
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 2"

Lovely print
Great saturated color. Not too bold a print. It runs big, as I could have gone down to an XL bs the XXL I selected. I was bummed they didn't have one to swap for so I will keep it on my hearts list and try again. Will be great for fall with jeans and a jacket.

Great fit. Fun color.
Loved the fit so much I bought it. Really flattering for a curvy figure. Trying to branch out with some more color, especially for summer and this did the trick. Nice bold print that doesn't overwhelm.

Can't wait for bedtime!
I've bought West Elm bedding before, so I was excited to see this collaboration between them and RTR. I've been in the market for new bedding, wanted something in a blush color, but was concerned about how something in a light color would hold up over time. Problem solved! The material feels fantastic. I love how it looks! May purchase if all goes well.

Missed opportunity.
I loved the print on this top. It would be a perfect summer blouse. It fit perfectly at my busy and waist and then snugly at my hips. I'd have been tugging at it all day long or, if tucked, it would have been riding up. If I owned it, it would be a quick fix at the tailor to open up the bottom slits a bit. But, it's too expensive a top to buy for something so one-seasonal in my view. if it fits you, rent it!
Brushstroke Floral Top
Prabal Gurung x RTR
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 2"
Bust: 38G
Loved the print, not so much the fit.
I should have listened to the other reviewers. The fit at the top is very odd and very big. It's made for someone much taller than I am, so all the extra fabric just looked around my chest and waist. Too bad, as I thought the fabric and print were perfect for summer.

Cute and comfy
Great summer top. Material is lightweight and the pattern is fun but not too much (I tend to shy away from bright colors and overly bold patterns). Thanks to the other reviewers who explained the side ties, I knew what to do. Will likely wear a cami underneath if wearing for work.
Floral Antia Top
Tanya Taylor
Size Worn: 18
Usual Size: 18
Height: 5' 2"

Gorgeous and glam, but not practical
I thought this would be a summer wardrobe staple, but it's just a cape, so it slides around a lot. Plus, the fabric was itchy to me (I knew it was a risk with Missoni). Might be able to tolerate it in fall/winter but not in any kind of humidity.

Stylish design
Light weight so perfect for summer, when it's warmer outside but the conference rooms are chilly. Wore it with black pants and a black vegan leather t-shirt (my own Universal Standard) and I felt chic and put together without feeling weighed down by a heavier jacket. Would rent again.
Edi Cardigan

Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 18

Perfect pant for work and travel
Fabric didn't wrinkle, comfortable, roomy enough in waist and hip area but not baggy at all in the legs. Have already put in to rent them again, just needed a clean pair. Summer staple for sure!
