Another great from Rails!
I just love this brand. This shirt was cute, soft, and comfy. I liked that it didn't feel insanely cropped on my long torso- only showed a tiny bit of belly. I would totally rent again.

Perfect for "western chic" dress code.
Did have real, useful pockets! This skirt isn't really my style, but it fit nicely and was comfortable. It was perfect for the event I was at, and looked great with boots.

Very boxy. Good pockets. Nice colors.
I loved the colors of this and rented it for a "fireside cozy" event. I thought it looked best left open over a shirt, but the tie isn't removable. Nice big pockets to stow things. Sleeves were short on me despite it otherwise feeling really huge. Just "meh" for me.

Comfy and flattering!
My only wish is that it had pockets. Looked good with a tucked shirt but also with a sweater over the top. Great for a day helping the bride get things ready for her big day!

Great easy linen shirt.
This fits nicely, a closer fit than another Rails shirt I have. It still tucks in, and the sleeves are full length which is tough to find as I am tall. I like the gold pineapples but wish they were actually more noticeable. The linen is nice and airy but a little sheer- wore a nude bra with it. Overall a good shirt that I wore several times.

Beautiful but a little uncomfortable
Very pretty and flattering. I'm sort of between a S and M and got the small, which made this fit a little small, but the great thing is that the sleeves look good pulled up or down. It was hard to zip myself, so keep that in mind. The top of the boning dug into my chest in front, so wearing it for more than a few hours would be hard. Can be worn easily though without a bra since it's boned, which is great since it is off the shoulders.

Spicy
These are super fun, lightweight, and helped me fit the "spicy" dress code. Color ranges from burgundy to red to orange to dusty pink. Lots of compliments! Note: pictures looks like they are hoops but the spirals actually would lay flat if you stuck the post into a table or something- hard to describe.

Meh
The photo of this makes it look just gorgeous, and I think on the right person, it probably is. But for my body type, it didn't do any favors. I have a pretty straight, slim figure, and this gaped at my waist and hips. Not badly- I could have worn it if I was desperate. The way the top is cut also made me look bottom heavy, which I am not. It just... wasn't great. Plus, the back goes down far enough that you can't wear a normal or strapless bra with it. All of that added on to the fact that I figured I might have to wear tights because it was colder than I expected, and this just was not a winner. The boning stuck out inside as well, but that is a separate issue and I'm sure RTR will fix it.

Bizarre fit on otherwise very nice jacket
Really nice looking jacket in a great transitional weight and color for spring or fall. I usually wear a mediun, so went with that. The waist, even when cinched all the way, could have been taken in probably 6 more inches to be a nice fit. The sleeves, on the other hand, are barely long enough, so i dont think i could have sized down. If this was Unlimited, i would return, but as i have it rented on Update and they charge you to exchange, i will try to wear.

Professional with fun details
This is so cute! I find that all of Derek Lam runs very small, so I sized up to an 8 from my usual 4-6 and it was perfect. Figure hugging on my straight frame, and the ruffles on the back made it seem like I have a butt! I adore the plaid, and even though it was a tad on the shorter side, the high neckline and sturdy fabric made it feel appropriate. Would rent again!

What is with the slits??
Awesome knit with the chevron pattern- very flattering and a nice length. Slim fit. But, and this is a huge but, the side slits go up probably 12". They went up to my rib cage. Super weird. It's a sweater. So, the only way to wear it as an adult in the winter was with a shirt under. If I owned I would stitch up the slits.

Very cool!
I really enjoy this shirt! The sleeves are fun without being absurd. They only got in my way at the dinner table, and my husband got some rubber bands to secure them ;) It is tight and figure hugging! I made sure to put it on before my hair and makeup because there is no zipper or anything- just lots of stretch. I got several compliments and it made my bosom look nice! I noticed it ran small in the shoulders, mostly, and after a full day of wear I did feel constricted. If this were cheaper I might purchase in the right size, but instead I'll keep renting.

Runs small
Unlike other equipment shirts, this ran small. The sleeves were about 3/4 length on me, and the shirt wouldn't stay tucked in. Other than that, it was great! A nice, silky shirt that wasn't wrinkled and had a fun net print. Would rent again a size up.

Nice fabric, pockets are fake.
These pants could have been so good. Pros: great thick wool with lining, nice herringbone pattern, comfortable with elastic waist, nice color Cons: yet another great winter pant that is bafflingly cut to ankle length (why?!), ran a little large, so we're baggy on me, the slit pockets were fake (why?!) I wore them, but won't be keeping.

Runs large and wide.
Great quality, comfortable, medium weight jacket, and the sleeves were long enough! Unfortunately, even after reading the reviews and sizing down to a S, this didn't work. It ended up being cropped looking but still far too large in the body. A bummer, because it's really cute.

Straps are not adjustable. Not for Long torsos!
Good quality fabric- I really wanted this to work. A nice, pretty, muted plaid. If the shoulder straps had been adjustable I think it would have worked, but as it was, this pulled up into a camel toe for me on my long torso. I'm also just unsure what the deal is with winter-weight fabric pants that are ankle length. Anyway, I'm a size 6 (usually) or 28-29 in pants and have minimal hips- the M fit pretty perfectly down below except for it left a little extra room in the hips.

Very nice drape, soft fabric
This was a nice surprise as I was trying things on in the store. It was soft, great for everyday, and had a very flattering drape with a nice neckline. I tried the medium and the x-small, (there was no small), and went with the medium because it draped better, but if I rented again I would get the small. Not seen in pictures are the subtle silver metallic threads in the plaid. Quite nice, and could be dressed up and down (like, for work, home, or going out, but nothing too fancy).

Cute pants, with interesting details at the waistband and legs, but the result is that they have to fit you perfectly. These didn't fit me perfectly, and unless I wanted to safety pin them tighter, I won't be able to wear.

Great quality, run small
Fully lined, nicely structured and well made. Their muted color makes them interesting while still going with lots. Could probably wear with boots when the weather cools down. Only complaint is that they ran a little small ( and I think the larger size would have been too big). Great pants!

Flattering, versatile, comfortable and cool.
Love this dress! It's a great wrap dress that feels just a little bit sexy, but didn't feel inappropriate to wear to my sorta-business-casual office. I have a small bust, but the top still just barely worked without gapping or showing my bra. The sleeve fit was great, the skirt length was great with fun asymmetry, I don't think my dark underwear showed through, and it stayed pretty cool and comfy on a hot a humid day.

Great quality, very short.
This felt very 1960s with a very micro mini skirt. With my height mostly in my torso, this wouldn't have been appropriate without leggings. The fabric was awesome, dress well lined, and seemed great quality. Just too short for me!

Fun, less teal in person.
My fiancé loved this dress. I liked it. It wasn't the color I thought but was still a nice print. Very forgiving cut in the waist. Was hard to find a bra that didn't show in the front, but did make the girls look good!

Gorgeous, light.
I'm tall and wore 3-4 inch heels and the tall size was still skimming the floor, which was nice but probably wouldn't work for shorter folks. This picture is me without shoes. It sounds dumb, but when I first tried this on I got the straps wrong and so it looked awful. Luckily I figured it out and it looked great. I did have to iron it as the fabric wrinkled in shipment, but it was easy to iron. The skirt is unlined which was awesome for the hot summer and dancing! Got many compliments and would definitely rent again.

Great jacket. Warm, fun material with a nice print that goes with a lot. Sleeves were nice and long which was great. It was pretty short on me but I do have a long torso. Wanted to wear to my engagement photo shoot but it was way too hot out.

Fun, runs large
I would have kept these and worn again since the navy and white stripes are pretty versatile and the waistline is nice, but I needed to swap for some event-related items. Also, these run large so they look more baggy than the stylish gaucho cut should. Pretty fun to wear!

Classy, unique
This dress was sadly worn to a celebration of life for someone who was incredibly fashionable. It struck the right balance of somber but also fun and fashionable. It was comfortable enough to wear all day, although the neck piece did strangle me whenever I sat down without adjusting the skirt. Overall I was very pleased and felt the deceased would have approved of my outfit.

I love this shirt. Lots of length in sleeves and body. Gorgeous print. And the best part is that the fabric is much thicker than I expected. I still wore a nude bra but I'm not even sure I needed to- unusual with a white blouse! Rent this. It's great.

Fun, different, pockets!
I like pockets. This has them! It's also warm, different, and a length that is in this season. It is more "girl cute", if that means anything to anyone reading this, but I enjoy it and am keeping it to wear at least a couple more times before sending back.

Beautiful, sexy, unique pattern, pockets!!
I got this for Valentine's Day, and it was just what I was looking for. We went out to dinner, nothing fancy, and it was cold. This has sleeves and looked good with tights and boots, but would have been good with flats or heels in other weather. I am small-busted, so the wrap top needed to be tied tight. I love that it was reds without being bright red, which isn't really my color. With a camisole, I wore this to work.

Comfy, versatile, a little chic
My fiancé calls me a fuzzy bat when I wear this :) . I wore it for about 4 days before deciding I should just buy it. I love the neckline which doesn't show very well in this picture, and the kangaroo pocket goes all the way across even though there is a front seam. It's pretty warm, but not overly so, and it looks good with jeans or sweats. A solid sweater.

Great little black dress with character.
If you're looking for an LBD with a little something extra, go for this. The color on top is really lovely, but fairly subtle. The skirt is pretty short so I wouldn't wear this to work, but the hemline adds some interest. I wore this for a night out in Vegas and would rent again for a date night, etc.

Great coat for a winter weekend in Vegas!
This jacket was so fun! I got it through Unlimited for a bachelorette weekend in Las Vegas. Very soft faux fur and the collar is great. Docked one star because the sleeves are short (I even sized up) and the pockets aren't great for hands. But I got lots of compliments and some of the other ladies told me I should buy it! It was just what I was looking for as a fun addition to my party wardrobe and went with more stuff than I expected.

Would be best on curvier women
I got this as a backup gown but it didn't fit me at all. The proportions were all wrong for my body type. I am tall and have a long torso, minimal hips and bum, and medium bust. This would probably look spectacular on somewhen shorter with some more curves and a shorter torso. Style seemed cute and quality was good.

This is a great shirt. I got it with Unlimited and it is a nice use of the subscription between formal events. It fit very nicely, not tight anywhere but still a flattering shape, and had more interest with the double layer and asymmetry than a normal blouse. I'll wear again before returning and would rent again.

Not for tall girls- very deep neckline also.
I have a long torso so rompers often are tough to fit, but this was particularly bad. It didn't fit at all and goosed me. The front would have required a tank top or a lot of confidence... I got this intending to wear it in Vegas but the short shorts and deep V were at odds with the strange fabric and long sleeves, collar, etc. overall an odd piece that did nothing for me.

Different, but flattering.
As others have said, this does run large and the arm holes are big. I didn't find that to be problematic. I rented this to be a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding, where we were told to wear "fall colors". This fit the bill perfectly. It's not a color or style that I would normally wear, but I liked it a lot. I tried it with a belt, but everyone said it looked more elegant without, so I let it just hang. It was comfortable enough to wear all day and night, and let me indulge in a fun up-do so that the neckline would show. A strapless bra was necessary (annoying) but it was a fun dress that got a lot of compliments.

Unique and classy for a black tie.
This dress was awesome. The skirt was fun and twirly, and I hardly noticed the slit (but it was helpful when dancing). What really made the dress was the back of it. It was so cool and unique. I was able to wear a normal strapless bra with it, which was nice. I like that I didn't need to wear a necklace with the high neck line. My fiance loved it.

Elegant, comfortable, and unique!
This was a terrific dress. I wore it to a "formal" wedding in Tucson, AZ. The ceremony was outside at 5pm and the party lasted until midnight, and the weight of this was just perfect. My backup size was an 8L, but the 6L definitely fit better and was much more flattering. The fit was snug but not tight, and I don't remember any discomfort wearing the dress for 8 hours. It's great that you can wear a normal bra with it, and the shoulder straps even have those little snap loops that will hold your bra strap in place, although I didn't use them. I had initially planned to wear this with heels, but it looked ridiculous, even with the long size (I'm tall!). So I wore flats, and it was perfect and more comfortable anyway :) I don't have a huge bust, so didn't have any issue with excess cleavage at a wedding with all my family. The skirt is so fun, and I had forgotten that it has a huge slit up the front. The skirt panels alternate between a gauzy fabric and the satiny one, which made it nice and cool. Plus there was the slit. It really was only noticeable if I wanted it to be, and made dancing fun. There is a lot of skirt fabric, so I did have to pick it up when walking up or down stairs. Overall, this dress was a winner. It was comfortable, extremely flattering, could be black-tie without being black, and was unique both in the neckline and the skirt. I would recommend, and would rent again if it weren't so memorable.
