Its a red tote!
It is a red tote - totally open inside with a little wallet that you can put your ipods in so they don't get lost in the bag. Not sure why it is so expensive but I suppose it must be the brand.

Pretty color
Nice blue dress and the satin is very luxe, however, the wrap feature over the buttons was a bit messy looking. Do not try to wear tights with it or the static cling is awful!

Fine dress for work
The waistline is low, which is cute. I liked it but did not love it. Very lightweight so great for summer, spring or fall.

Wierd hood
The hood has a zipper on it that hits your face if you put the hood up. Otherwise the coat is great.

Great dress for someone taller
The dress is very nice looking. It is fitted, a bit low cut and has poofy sleeves. The reason I did not like it for me is that it was just too long. A fitted red dress just looks odd on a curvy short woman when it goes below the knee. It would be work appropriate-sexy for someone over 5'7" though.

Pretty dress for someone else
This dress was beautiful and I wanted to wear it, but it would really only work on someone quite tall and not chesty. The dress was cut down below the bottom of my bra, so it would not have been fixed with a bra cover, and it was cut just as low in the back, meaning no bra could really be worn at all. In addition, it was so long that even with my tallest platform heels I would have been stepping on at least half an inch of ruffled material. I am almost 5'4".

A bit too short for me
I love the more flowy looks from MISA, but this one was more cottony and very short with a fully open back. A bit too young for me but a cute dress for someone else.

Great summer dress
I received many compliments on this dress both at work and at a family gathering. It fit well, though I did wear a bra cover since it was a bit too low cut for work for me - but I am very chesty.

Great summer skirt
This skirt was very cute and paired well with a tank top and withstood the heat in the southern US and Hawaii! It is not super detailed or fancy, so the price is a bit of a mystery, but great for a summer rental.

More structured than expected
This dress was very cute, but did not feel like MISA. The fabric was cotton and a bit stiff. Personally I liked the more tailored look of this dress - but it was unexpected because MISA dresses tend to be made of flowy materials.

Great for black tie wedding
I didn't end up wearing b/c the wedding was not black tie that I was attending, but it is such a flattering and beautiful dress! My only issue was that it is a bit too square cut/low cut to allow for a regular bra. the sides of the bra were always peeking from the sides making the neckline look more rounded.

Beautiful print - Not great on shorties
The dress is beautiful and I'm certain it would look amazing on a taller less curvy person. On a short person with curves, it looked a bit shlubby.

A bit quirky but I liked it
I did get compliments on this but it felt a bit overbearing - high neck, long sleeves and long skirt. The print was great though. I was not sure the smocking really worked for me, it was not super flattering, but it was not bad. Not something to wear on a date to be sure.

Short and fitted but comfortable cardigan
I liked that this cardigan was dressy enough to function as a suit jacket would, but much more comfortable. I don't wear a lot of black, but having this option to pair with black pants and a black sweater was great. I wore it on a plane and to the office. It would look nice with a black dress as well.

Boring for a red dress
The dress was made beautifully but I found the fit to be a bit boring. Not flattering on the waist and the hemline was a bit too long. It just felt a bit frumpy.

Fun big dress
I bought it for a flight to a work conference in the tropics and ended up wearing it to a few conference sessions (in the audience, its not an "on stage" dress). It was comfortable, fun and very noticeable. Easy to spot me in a crowd in this one! I got many compliments.

Really low back
I had to buy a low-back bra to wear this dress. It was very pretty but with the high neckline and emphasis on hips, it just did not feel flattering to me from the front. From the back its quite pretty (with the right bra).

Fine Dress - High Neck
The dress was fine but nothing special. The high neck was a bit constrictive. I don't mind a turtleneck at all but the material used in the dress made the neck uncomfortable.

Good work jacket
Very good jacket with white jeans/pants in the summer to warm yourself in an air conditioned office. True to size so don't size up. I sized up the first time I ordered this because I am chesty, but it looked a bit dowdy when it was too big.

Noticeable dress even though its black
I generally wear bright colors at work events so that my clients can find me (hence the RtR subscription for noticeable dresses that I wear only once) but I'm wearing this black dress now at a finance event and it is pretty standout even though its simple and black. The jersey material is fitted but the apron-tie is forgiving on the lower belly and the hemline is very cool (would have been cooler had I ironed it). Looks great with sneakers and heels (pre-event at the desk and at the event). It makes me wish i had better earrings to wear with it because the turtleneck really shows off any jewelery.

Purple and boxy jacket
I thought I would like it more but it was not particularly flattering on me - however, it would probably be more flattering on someone less curvy. The boxy shape and the bright color just made me look larger.

Runs very big
Generally I love MISA maxi's but this one was very big. I am quite chesty and the chest area was far too big for me and I rented a small. Length was great though.

Could not figure out tie at waist
It looked nice when the fabric was hanging correctly, but I could not figure out how to get the fabric to stay over on the side. There is a silver knob thing that I think attaches in some way - but I could not figure out that way. So it might be a 5 star if you can get it to work!

High Slits
I was trying to be very demure, very mindful, but the thigh slits on each side made me a bit more Marilyn Monroe when crossing windy streets in NYC! Also a bit long for traversing the subway but with wedges it was easy enough to walk around a conference. Also, when you sit, the side slits are not visible. Really they are only visible in the wind or if you are standing in certain ways. Don't get me wrong, I liked the slits and they made the outfit more fun, but more than a few people saw more than I had planned them to!

Great dress for vacation - even though I wore it to the office! Only a large was available so it was a bit big on me but with the tie waist it was fine. It was short but office appropriate on me at 5'4".

Amazing color!
The color is great and i loved the hummingbird print. Very low cut in front and back. I wore a bra cover but so much of it showed, that it took away from the dress.

Its beautiful but there are lots of strings hanging off of it. I'm not sure why. It doesn't take away from the look of the dress but I just find it odd.

Very cute dress. Not to short. Low cut, but easy to fix by tying the top up. I wore it to work and to dinner. Only not five stars because it did not stand out much.

Great Pants - even better with the matching shirt
The pants were so much fun. They are open on the sides, but extra material ties in the front, so you don't show any leg unless (a) you want to, (b) you sit down without rearranging the fabric, or (c) its windy out. I learned (c) the hard way! These pants are great though because they were the perfect length for me (I'm almost 5'4") and I really love patterned pants. Pair it with the matching top and its a great outfit! I wore to work (i had no issues showing too much leg - you just have to be conscious of moving the fabric up when you sit) and on a travel day for work (so on a plane, uber, at a lunch meeting, etc.).

Great with matching pants
I almost bought it - but this is the perfect rental because its one of those things that you can't wear more than a couple times a year as it is very noticeable! Great fun though. I would not wear this shirt without the matching pants. It would be very cape-like and unflattering if worn with jeans, etc.

Great dress for a young person
The dress was cute and flattering. But between the cut-outs and the color (very bright florescent colors) and the puffy sleeves, I felt like it would better suit a younger person. I'm 45 and while I'm not afraid of cut-outs, puffy sleeves or florescent prints - I can really only do one of those at a time.

Women loved it - Men thought it was matronly
The dress was too large for me, but it was the size that was available, so I rented it anyway. I got compliments from women while wearing this dress but my husband asked if I was headed to a missionary barn dance. I wore large chunky platforms with it to make it more fun - and I liked wearing it. I also wore a belt, which I didn't think went all that well with the fabric, but it at least made it a bit less churchy. Wore it to work and it was perfectly acceptable to wear in a law firm.
