Not as delicate as it looks!
I think I put off renting this a few times because it looks like a very light and delicate pointelle knit in the pictures but it actually quite thick and cozy. Highly recommend!

Cute and comfy!
I wore this over a white tank and light wash jeans and I loved it! One warning, I'm 5'3" and the sleeves didn't quite reach my wrists. It didn't bother me but if you're taller they might be too short!

Definitely big, but I'm into it.
As another review mentioned, it's definitely big, but I kind of liked that about it. It's great for the transitional fall weather because it's not too heavy and easy to wear over a sweater.

Perfect lazy day sweatshirt
I loved this. It was the perfect thing to throw on with jeans and sneakers for a rainy, lazy day. The little bit of shine to the stars/moon made me still feel a little pulled together. It does run big, but I didn't mind it. I might try to size down next time but I was fine with it being a little oversized.

Cute but runs big
I love a good oversized sweater but I got this in my usual size and it was way too big. If I get it again I'll definitely size down.

Love these, had to sneakily cuff them.
I love the fit and look of these. Be warned, the material is thick, more like sweatpants. They're also long so I had to roll the hem under. But it stayed like that all day and looked fine.

Cute summery dress
I was worried that this dress would be too shapeless, but despite the flowiness and lack of waist, the dress actually looked really flattering on. The back definitely dips low enough that a normal bra will show a little bit, but it didn't really bother me. It's a bra. Who cares?

Lace logo hem a little tacky
I liked the fit and material but I didn't realize when ordering that the lace hem says "SCOTCH AND SODA" in large block letters and that's not really my style so I didn't end up wearing it.
Lace Trim Peasant Top
Scotch & Soda

DEFINITELY too big
I usually wear a 4 but got an XS and it's still way too big. That said, I don't hate it. Would I wear it on a date? No. But I belted it at the waist and it was fine for a lazy day, running around the city. I ended up getting a lot of compliments!

Light and Easy Dress for Summer
This dress is perfect to throw on for a hot summer day where you still want to look nice and pulled together. I got compliments all day and the material is so light and breezy! Will absolutely rent again!

So vibrant and fun!
I love this dress! The colors are so bright and vibrant, perfect for summer! I'm 5'3" and this was a full maxi dress on me but it worked. It was great for a summer evening having dinner at the park!

The color is to die for
I really love this dress. The color is so pretty and different and I got a lot of compliments! As someone curvy and petite, I definitely needed a belt because otherwise it's a little tent-like and overwhelming. It is a bit snug in the bust so keep that in mind re:sizing.

Bland
I really wanted to like this but it didn't work for me. It's less oxblood and more brown and it's hard to find a brawl that works with both the straps and the back. You also have to be really careful about the strings in the back because they're very long and you have to be mindful of them when you use the bathroom.

Fine
The dress is pretty and easy to throw on for a relaxed spring/summer day but it wasn't anything remarkable and I don't think I'd rent it again.

Runs small in the chest, extremely low cut.
I'm so bummed because this dress is gorgeous but I couldn't get the wrap element to work on me and it was a lot more low cut than I'm comfortable wearing.

WAAAY too small.
I usually wear a small or xs in dresses. I got the small in this dress and it was WAY too small. I'm not even sure a medium would have fit, especially in the chest area.

Comfy and cute
I really liked these pants but I feel like they don't work with many tops. I ended up pairing it with a t-shirt that was knotted at the hip to make it a bit more fitted and that worked, though it was a very casual look. I also feel like the quality isn't great and they probably won't last long before starting to pill, but that doesn't really matter if you're just renting them.

Loved everything about it! One note: you definitely need a cami underneath because the button placket leaves a bit of a gap all the way down.

Doesn't wear well
I followed reviewer suggestions and sized down with no issues. When I first put it on it seemed to fit well and still not pencil skirt tight. Still, as soon as I started walking in it, it rode up in the hips and the second and third pulled and gaped really horribly.

A little frumpy, but still cute
This a great, lightweight sundress and I really like it but the waist is huge. I might size down if I rent it again but it fit in the chest perfectly so I worry sizing down wouldn't work. As it is, I tied a belt around my waist and that kind of helped though it still felt like way too much material. I absolutely love the top part though and the back is so cute!

Loved it!
This dress is so cute and summery! The material is very thin and light but mostly lined (the sleeves are sheer). I had some issues with the off-the-shoulder sleeves creeping up but that seems unavoidable with the style

I love everything about this dress.
This might be my favorite rental to date! I love the color and the fit and the breeziness of it. It's really the perfect spring/summer dress. I'll definitely be renting it again! One note: I found this in the physical RTR store but they didn't have my usual size (I'm somewhere between an XS and S, but top-heavy so with dresses I usually do a S to accommodate) but I tried on the XS and it actually fit perfectly so if you're on the fence about sizes, size down.

Print looks different irl
This is a cute and classic wrap dress but the pattern in person just seems a bit more twee--the flowers are less of a warm coral pink and more of an almost acid washed pastel. It's very eastery but that wasn't really what I was looking for.

Cute but lower-cut than expected
This top is so cute and spring-y, and the metallic stitching is really lovely. My only complaint is that it's lower cut than it looks. The top button is at the same level as the underwire of my bra so it's a very deep v. The ruffles cover a little more but I still felt a little self-conscious of it while walking and ended up using some clothing tape to keep it in place.

Fine but not for me.
I'm not sure why I rented this because I haven't been a denim skirt person since college. This skirt reminded me why. Rode up as I walked and it was too big in the waist, too small in the hips. Not for me.

Cute, not very practical.
If you put this on and stand in front of a mirror, its a perfect sundress. But as soon as you start walking or moving in it, it's problems become apparent quickly. Mostly because it isn't a true wrap dress--there's a small tie inside and a larger tie for the outer layer but there's no tie that wraps all the way around the waist, holding everything together. So I had a lot of issues with the chest slipping around and showing way too much. I fixed that with some fashion tape, but there was no helping the legs. As soon as a tiny breeze blew, the entire front opened all the way up, again because it's not a true wrap dress. I had high hopes for this one and I love Joie, but it's just not practically designed.

Obsessed with this dress!
I love Tory Burch but her dresses aren't always good on my top-heavy frame. This one is perfect though. It's low cut without being too much on me and the skirt is light and flows. I love the bodice details and the sleeves!

Would be a great maternity top
This made me look nine months pregnant. If you ARE pregnant, I'm sure it would fit well, but it didn't work for me.

Great dress, terrible slip
I loved this dress and I got so many compliments on it! I wore it to a work event while bloated and the cut was forgiving and comfortable while still being cute. It was definitely more of a maxi dress of me and I couldn't use hem tape on it because of the intricate hemming but I still really loved it. The color is so bright and cheerful and the details are gorgeous. The slip it came with was not great. If the dress was slightly big, the slip was WAY too small and rode up easily. I ended up wearing my own nude slip though and it worked perfectly.

So cozy!!
This is the coziest coat. I'm quite petite and I was worried it would be too overwhelming on me but it wasn't. Sure, it's not the most flattering coat, but it's warm and comfy and the color is gorgeous. Definitely going to rent it again in the fall!

Unbearably sheer
I was so excited about this jumpsuit--the color, the cut, the silk! It was so gorgeous! But as comfortable and beautiful as the fit is, I could see my underwear straight through no matter how many different types of nude underwear I tried. If you have the patience to seek out exactly the right undergarment to wear with it, give it a shot but it's way too high maintenance for me.

Perfect spring top!
The weather in the NE has been so up and down so I rented this shirt so I could wear it with jeans or a skirt. Jeans it was but because the silk is light, it's not too warm and my pink coat suited it perfectly. It might not feel like summer yet, but the fun watermelon print makes it feel a little bit closer!

This COLOR!!
I love this dress so much. The color is the most vibrant blue and the cut is so flattering with the little matching belt! The length is perfect for spring when the weather keeps going back and forth. It's about 50 degrees today but with a denim jacket it'll be perfect!
