HOT DRESS
This is quite possibly one of my most favorite things I've ever rented, or even worn. The color is amazing and vibrant. I rented it for my birthday and it did not disappoint! I ordered the 6 and I would say it's true to size, as that's what I would usually wear, but if you're not looking for a skin tight look, you may want to size up. Would definitely describe as body con, will need seamless undergarments to avoid lines, but worth it for making your curves look amazing. Bonus points for adjustable straps! Order this dress, you can pull it off.

Fun & Different
Overall, this tank was pretty 'meh' for me, but I did like the idea of it. I think it was the square, high neckline that bothered me. Perhaps a larger size would have made it feel like a more flattering fit. Either way, fun top for an everyday summer rental, but it wasn't as cute on my body type as it appeared in the photos online.

Coziest Coat
This coat is aaaaaaahmazing. It does run large (I sized down to a small) and has a bulky fit, but it's perfect for keeping warm and layering and the inside is so soft and cozy. I basically lived in this thing during my rental. The only real con is that there is no zipper or clasp to keep the front closed, but that didn't bother me too much. My boyfriend said it looked like something his character in Red Dead would wear, which means it looks pretty bad ass, in my opinion.

Interesting Sweater
It looks cooler online than it actually is. It runs large, kind of a boxy sweater fit, which is fine, so I ordered a small to compensate. The zipper across the front makes it extra boxy and wasn't particularly flattering on me since I already have wide hips. The small was the right fit for me, but I just wasn't really wowed by this sweater. In person, it's definitely more of a brown than a burnt orange, which I didn't really like. It is heavy, which made it warm, but ultimately I only ended up wearing it once because I wasn't in love with it.

Fun, Festive Color
Solid sweater. It was a fun, bright red which was great for the holidays. The fabric and the ribbing made it feel and look a little more nice/high end. Other than that, it's just a basic red sweater, but a good one! Ran true to size.

Meh, Runs Large
I ordered a medium, which is typically a pretty safe size for me, and this shirt pretty much swallowed me up. It was large and billowy and hung on me in an unflattering way. I felt that it looked cuter and more vibrant in the photos, in person the colors are a bit more muted/dull. I maybe could have made it work by tucking in the front and throwing a jacket over it, but I wasn't inspired by it enough to wear it during my rental. Perhaps a small would have made me like it more if it fit better.

Cute Wrap Top
I was actually surprised by how much I liked this! I would, like others, recommend sizing down. I typically wear mediums, but got a small in this, and it ended up being the perfect fit. Since it's a wrap top, you can somewhat adjust the way it lays with the tie, but it is nevertheless a pretty deep V. I wore a cute colored bralette under it so it was ok if it showed, but I'm not sure if I could have gotten away with a normal bra without some help from some fashion tape. Worth it though, a flirty, feminine top for a fun night out or date night! Or, you could just wear a tank or cami underneath to make it more modest.

Warm on the Slopes
Was going skiing for the first time, so I turned to RTR for a ski coat. This was great for that, VERY warm! I only had a long sleeve shirt on underneath and at the bottom of the mountain I was actually sweating (though we went late in the season, so it wasn't particularly cold). Definitely a great coat for hitting the slopes. It is rather large, which I think it is supposed to be. I usually wear mediums, but saw other reviews so I sized down to a Small and it was still very long and roomy.

Cool Collar, Wrong Fit
I got this in the 4 and it was pretty small/snug. I'm typically between a 4 and a 6 and def would have needed the larger size, or maybe even an 8 to like how this fit on me. It seemed to be more cropped than in the picture, hitting above my hips, but maybe a larger size would have provided longer coverage. The collar is a neat feature, but I didn't end up wearing since it looked kind of wonky on me due to being too small.

90's Themed Event
These overalls were a lot of fun! There was plenty of room through the hips which was where I was worried they might be too snug. Do note that they are kind of a cropped bottom/shorter leg (which was fine because I was showing off my socks anyway)! They are also more of a wide leg fit. Very comfortable to wear all day! I'm not much for overalls on a day to day basis, but would recommend to anyone wanting a good comfy pair to try!

My First Jumpsuit
I had always thought I was of the body type that could not pull off a one piece full length jumpsuit such as this (smaller waist, wide hips/thighs). This jumpsuit proved me wrong! I. LOVED. IT. I wore it out for New Year's Eve and it made me feel very elegant and sophisticated. It runs slim down the body (but not tight) and opens up wider in the legs for a very comfortable to wear all night fit. My only tweak was that I had to use just a couple pieces of fashion tape on the deep V to keep my bra from showing as it was juuuuust slightly too loose/gappy there (I'm a C, but have a shorter chest/torso), but it was not a big enough issue to deter my love for this piece. If you're on the fence, try it, you'll love it! I usually wear a size 4/6 (closer to a 6 especially on bottom) and the Medium fit like a glove! Legs are long and flowy, I'm around 5'6" and it fit perfect with a heel.

Looks better in pictures
For some reason this just didn't lay/fit right on me, compared to how good it looked in the photos for it. As others mentioned, the tank is really low cut underneath, and I wouldn't have felt comfortable wearing it for anything other than a night out without substituting my own more modest cami/tank under it. But, I didn't bother doing that because I didn't really like how the lace part fit either. If I left it unbuttoned, the collar and top part didn't lay nicely and fell awkwardly. I tried buttoning it all the way up, and the buttons on the front gapped and bunched and the lace collar didn't stand up properly. It didn't seem wrinkled, but for some reason the texture and fit of this one just didn't work out for me.

The Coziest
Absolutely loved this sweater. It is super warm and cozy, not itchy at all. I loved the texture and pattern, and the puffier sleeves give it a more distinct look than just any old sweater/turtleneck. Would def rent again!

Just Ok
So I loved the bright, vibrant hue of this shirt, but didn't end up wearing it because it seemed to fit me a little oddly. I originally liked the diamond cut out and thought it was unique, but upon trying it on, it hit at kind of an awkward spot on my torso. It hit high enough, that if I wore a bra you would be able to see it, but I didn't feel comfortable going braless because if I moved the wrong way I worried it would shift up too high and my nipple would be exposed. I wonder/think sizing up may have helped, as it was also a little tight through the shoulders/arms. I'm normally a medium, but I think a large may have made it more wearable.

A Fun Jacket for Any Occasion
I LOVED this jacket! Will definitely be renting again. It's the perfect blend of sweet and edgy, with the floral pattern and moto-style black details. It is a quilted jacket, and is on the thinner side, so not super warm, but still very comfortable and a good size for layering over just about anything. It's very cute and different, it definitely makes a statement!

Great Red Sweater for a Night Out
This sweater is even better than it looks in the pictures. I was worried that it would be thin, but it is actually quite thick which makes it more flattering in my opinion as it doesn't reveal lines and bumps easily underneath. A bright pop of red with a fun and unique detail with the cut out shoulders. Runs true to size, length of arms and sweater are on the longer side, but I liked that.

Has Potential on the Right Person
I really wanted to like this sweater, but once I had it on in person it just didn't do much for me. I really liked the rich, plum color and the unique pattern on the front, but it wasn't particularly flattering on my shape so I didn't end up wearing it. It is a very thick, chunky knit so I could definitely see it being warm. For me, the neck came up too high and piled up under my chin, which looked odd. The criss-crossing at the top wasn't ideal as it fell too high on me, so it ended up making the whole thing look kind of frumpy. Perhaps it would have been better if I had sized down.

Warm & Cute
I will definitely be renting this again. It's a very comfortable and versatile piece, with different looks achieved by whether or not you choose to zip it up. It is very soft and warm. It is true to size with the medium fitting just as I thought it would, the bottom of the jacket hitting right around the hips and the sleeve coming to the top of my hand. There was plenty of room to wear a shirt or even a light sweater underneath. It can add a little bulk when zipped, as that creates a double layer of the textured material, but I didn't really mind.

Perfect Cozy Sweater
I loved this sweater! I will def be renting this again. It was a perfect casual piece for my winter wardrobe. The sweater is incredibly soft, and easy to dress up or down. I wore it with a black turtleneck and fitted jeans for work, then threw it on over a t-shirt and leggings for a road trip. It was so comfortable I just kept trying to find more ways/reasons to wear it! It fits really nicely without being too boxy/saggy for being a large/thick cardigan, the sleeves are nice and long, and the length hit around lower thigh on me (but still well above the knee). Rent it, you won't regret it. Or ever want to give it back.

Cute Dress for Fall/Winter Formal Affair
This wasn't my favorite dress I've rented so far, but was still very pretty for attending a winter wedding. I typically wear a size 6, but had to size up for an 8 in this and even then it was still snug (shout out to RTR customer service for getting me the extra size, especially over a crazy holiday weekend). I liked the detail in the lace overlay, the long sleeves, and the overall length, but think this dress just wasn't best suited for my body type (wide hips). It was tight across the middle, which caused the fabric to sort of bunch/pucker and the (already short) slip underneath to ride up. I wore opaque tights underneath, so it wasn't too much of an issue, but overall I think it would be much more flattering on someone with a slimmer build.

Unique, Fun Dress Wore as Wedding Guest
This dress was amazing! I got so many compliments. I liked the lace overlay print and the uniqueness of the high neck, which made it feel edgier. As other reviewers noted, it is two separate pieces. I rented a 6 and a 4. The size 6 under slip was actually considerably shorter than the size 4, so I wore the 4 slip under the 6 dress for a perfect fit, so definitely recommend getting the free back up size with this to give you that option. It is a little snug in the upper arms, and the fabric doesn't have much give, but it wasn't an issue and I had no problem dancing the night away. Highly recommend, great for a fall wedding but could see it as working well for a variety of occasions!

Perfect Bridesmaid's Dress for NYE Wedding
Absolutely loved wearing this dress! Super sparkly and fun and comfortable enough for dancing the night away. The dress did fit true to size, it was a little tighter fitting through the top/chest area, then looser and more flowy through the hips, which makes it a super flattering fit on most body types. As other reviewers noted, it was a little short. I'm around 5'6" and wore just around a 1 inch heel, and really couldn't have gone any higher than that. Which was fine for me, as I wanted to be comfortable dancing, but if you like wearing taller heels, it'd probably be safer to order a long. Also as I saw in other reviews, I did do some minor taping to the deep V in the front. I wore a normal, nude strapless bra under the dress, and probably would have been fine, but still taped down the sides of the V to make sure I was covered and there was no gapping when moving around. Overall, loved the dress, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to feel extra glamorous for a special occasion.

Easy, reliable, fit like a glove.
I loved this dress and got so many compliments. The photos do the bright cobalt blue justice. The fabric is thick so I was able to wear a bra under it without any lines showing through. For added control and smoothness I also wore spanx underneath. It was a bit short but that wasn't a problem for me since I don't like super high heels anyway! Perfectly flowy and fitted for dancing the night away for a black tie optional wedding. Loved it, would rent again and would recommend!
