Simple, Trendy, Comfortable Athleisure Wear
These joggers are a perfect example of "WYSIWYG" - they look and feel exactly as you'd expect from the photos. They are not stretchy so be honest with yourself about your current size when ordering or they'll do you no favors. I like the versatility of the garment and enjoyed lounging in them at home, throwing on a pair of sneakers and a sweater to run errands, and then changing to a blouse and adding jewelry for a Zoom hangout (ankle boots would have been my footwear of choice if going out).

Beautiful, Simple, Effortless
This top wore like a flowy high-low dress with a blouse-length hem, making any pair of slim cut jeans, leggings, or shorts instantly elegant. I paired this with a white faux leather skort and over-the-knee boots one day, then with tan leggings and a kitten heel the next. While this is a generally seamless garment, the waist seam is true to size so this is not endlessly forgiving. However, you could easily size up to be bump-friendly and still maintain the integrity of the shape and style.

All Day, Any Day, Yes.
Exceptionally comfortable material, super roomy cut in the bodice, shoulder seam and sleeve length were perfect, style was classic and feminine, yet sexy. I wore this a couple times, once tucked into a pencil skirt, another loose over jeans with a pointed toe flat. I will likely rent this again when I want to have something elegant and effortless on hand. My only gripe with this is that the beautiful fabric is slippery and the neck ties were difficult to keep in place with normal movements.

Great Everyday Jeans, DE-emphasizes Curves
I really liked these jeans; they had the feel of a quality pair of French-made denim in a classic cut. The shape of the cut definitely puts restrictions on curves, particularly as these are not stretchy. I quite appreciated this minor detail as not every outfit works with a super curvy lower half. These jeans helped my hourglass figure achieve a more narrow silhouette in my rear and hips, which was perfect for the look I was hoping to achieve. I docked 1 star for the pockets - they were useless.

Bootylicious Babes Beware
The pros: -Cute cutout at the back -Inseam on the 26R was long enough for my height (5'8") -Button fly is unique -High quality denim (low stretch, medium-thick weight) The cons: -Cut for slender, straight frames - curves at the hips, thighs, or butt were not accommodated nicely -Color isn't jet-black, it's "lived-in" black (fine for everyday, not for dressier occasions) -No pockets

Out of My Usual Range but Fun for the Day
This aesthetic is a little out of my typical range but -hey- that's the beauty of RTR - trying something new, being bold, taking chances! I loved the flare sleeves with tapered wrist and the fun material. The colors are definitely in a mid-70s theme and that's atypical for me but for a day, this was a lot of fun. I got compliments from strangers all day, noting they liked the unique style.

Fashion-Forward Staple
I loved the balance of the striped pattern from top to bottom! The fit was true to size, fitting the way I expected. The material is thicker and mixed with the pencil skirt cut, this is not a skirt made for taking long strides in. Thankfully, I'm taller so the length was very comfortable for me. Would definitely rent again.

Mock Turtleneck Folded upon Wearing
I was looking forward to wearing this sweater but the mock turtleneck folded on me and it looked almost as if I was wearing it inside-out and the tag was in the way.

Like a Hug from Your Stylish Aunt
This sweater was super cozy and comfortable due to the boxier (but still tailored) cut. I will definitely wear again!

Swing-cut & large
This poncho has split seams on the side that go up very high, about 4" above the navel. It was comfortable but the fabric is unusual; the inside is sweatshirt-fleece and the outside has a slight film over it that makes the poncho a bit stiff. It's cute, but word of caution, it runs quite large and has a lot of profile volume.

Not sure I can part with it
Michi is my go-to for athleisure gear so I was excited to see a new top I haven't tried on RTR. It was love and first glance and "forever!" at first try-on. This is a classic piece that can be worn with a multitude of different looks and is as comfortable as your favorite PJs. Love!

Structured Versatility
This item works well as a structured top or a vest so it automatically gets points for versatility. I love Derek Alan's clothes in general so I already knew the quality of the fabric, cut, and craftsmanship would be high. The zipper goes nearly all the way down the back, which is great for someone with a fuller bust, and the heavier material gives some structure to the bodice, making for a flattering fit.

Edgy and classic
My everyday style is edgy formal with some casual elements thrown in so I layered this over a basic dark gray crew t-shirt under a light knit blazer and it was the perfect amount of sophistication and edginess to give my ensemble a warm spice. As others have mentioned, the main stone color is not black but more of a muted gray with high reflectivity. This fit exactly what I was looking for and I was sad to return it; I will definitely rent it again to be part of my semi-regular rotation.

Stunning color & sequin sparkle!
As others have commented, I received compliments all night in this dress! It is truly a unique color and the sequins catch the light beautifully, especially in photos. I'm carrying some extra weight so went a few sizes up from normal and it was a bit big on me but I chose a size I figured might be slightly loose so I would still call the overall fit true to size. However, I am 5'8" and the "Long" fit on me was appropriate with flats or very low heels - I wore 2" heels as any higher would have looked odd. The bust and waist are comfortable and forgiving both in stretch and fit, particularly with the subtle billowing of the outer layer over the waist. Overall, this was very comfortable to dance in, lighter than expected given all of the embellishments, and excellent for dancing! I would wear this dress again if I had a fresh crowd to impress.
