Not great for tall ladies, or if you have any belly
I sooooo wanted to love this dress, the fabric is nice, its a great weight for winter, was super comfy, and the look is something I'd just love to be able to pull off. But, I can't. I'm 5'8" on even though I ordered a large, the slits on the sides of the dress came up to almost the bottom of my butt-yes, I planned to wear black tights, but it was still too high for me to be able to get away with at work. Additionally, I've had two kids and am not rocking a totally flat stomach. Unfortunately this dress straight up made me look pregnant. So back it goes.

Great skirt-too short for work on a taller person
Rented this for an office holiday party, and it looked great, but beware if you are on the taller side. I wore it with a basic black top, black tights and black booties and it looked very festive. I'd have loved to wear it more, but I'm 5'8" and it was just too short. It looked fine when I was standing, but if I sat, it rode up high enough that I was uncomfortable, even at a holiday party. If you are tall, consider sizing up to get some extra length.

Great pant but runs big
Rented these to try out the cropped wide leg style. They are a very nice and heavy fabric with a great drape but ran a bit big. I wore them once and will try to rent them again in a smaller size.

Great Work Dress, Runs Large
I've been looking for a great red office dress. This one fits that need to the T. I find it to be very flattering on a pear shaped body, and even works well hiding the post-baby pooch I haven't managed to get rid of. It's also long enough to fit well and be flattering on my 5'8" frame. It seems to run pretty large though. In many other RTR dresses I'm between a 14/12, depending on cut. In this one, the 12 is a bit big and I'm going to try it in a 10 next.

Loved 'em
Really liked these jeans-I ordered a size larger than I needed because of availability. Now I'm waiting for them to be back in my actual size so I can snap them up again. Like them enough that I'm considering buying a pair. The waist is high enough to let me wear some of the shorter tops that are in style right now without flashing tummy, which I appreciate.

Great Dress, Just Not on Me
Really loved the look of this dress and it seemed high quality and well made. Unfortunately it was not flattering on my pear shaped body. I was hoping the bottom half would drop straight from the hip, but instead it hugs the curves until about mid thigh, which just doesn't work for my body type.

Great Work Shirt
Rented to take for a business trip. Loved the shirt as it could be dressed up with a suit or worn with jeans for a casual look. Really wanted to buy as the print seems fairly timeless, but the price was a bit out of my range. Will rent again.

Great Work Staple
These pants were amazing for a recent work trip. Comfortable enough to travel in, but nice enough to wear for non-suit required work events. I will definitely rent again and am considering buying a pair for myself.
