The most beautiful thick winter sweater
I don't have a bad thing to say about this sweater - I wore it as much as I could on my vacation to Ireland and still couldn't get enough of it before I had to send it back. The details are beautiful, the navy is a lovely deep navy color and the material is thick and comfortable. Wish I could have kept it for myself, but look forward to renting it again!

Soave Embroidered Sweater

Beautiful, lightweight dress
This dress was really unique and lovely. The length was modest while the neckline and waist were a little bit flirtier. I have a bigger chest and was worried about how this would fit on me, but I felt comfortable and confident that there wouldn't be any slips or too much cleavage. I had rented this for vacation in Ireland and the weather was too cold to wear it - as the material is very lightweight stretchy cotton without a liner. So I hope I'll be able to rent it again in the spring/summer!

I wish I could have bought this sweater
This sweater takes pilgrim chic to the max! It's collar is so cute and whimsical, the fit is perfect, with a cinched bottom but looser bodice throughout. I could see how some people may think this material is a little itchy - especially if you're sensitive to fabrics against your body - but it didn't bother me. Absolutely will be reuniting this sweater again!

Fit right in with the sheep!
This sweater was thick, comfortable and so adorable. I wore this on vacation to Ireland in late May and it was perfect for the colder weather days. I'm usually a size small and the medium fit me perfectly, so if you're between sizes I would definitely recommend sizing up. I will absolutely be renting this whimsical sweater again!

Form fitting dress that still breathes in summer heat
This dress was beautiful - albeit a little brighter in person than on the model, but I didn't mind that! It fit true to size and was form fitting, but still a light breathable material - perfect for dancing the night away or sitting in a ceremony in the summer heat. The flutter sleeves were definitely large and usually I'm self conscious about that on my body type, but because they weren't a solid structured material and they flowed with the wind I really didn't mind them at all!

Beautiful dress - awkward length for tall girls
I actually really did love this dress - it was snug in just the right way, the ruching was forgiving around the bodice, the little flecks of gold and pink throughout were so pretty - my only complaint is that the length was a little funky for someone of my height. It looked a bit like it couldn't decide between whether it was a maxi or a tea length dress. Regardless, I did end up wearing it and felt beautiful and confident. It does also run a little small, I'm usually a 6, and the 8 was snug.

Rachel Antonoff
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"
Bust: 36C
Cute but hard to sit in
These looked great standing up and were the perfect length - not too short, not too long - but they don't have much give in the material (no stretch) so any time I tried to sit, they became pretty restrictive all around. I wore them to walk around outdoors so they were fine for me, but if you're planning on sitting in them for prolonged periods of time, you may want to size up!

Elevated T-shirt - soft and flattering
I found myself reaching for this shirt all the time instead of my go-to white T-shirt. It's so cute dressed down with jean shorts, but could also be easily dressed up tucked into a skirt. The material is so soft and comfortable - it was effortless to wear!

Floria Top

The best crop sweater!
This sweater definitely runs small, glad I listened to other reviewers and sizes up to a large - it hit perfectly at the waistline of my high rise jeans. Nice thick material, perfect for winter or late fall. Got so many compliments - will be renting again!

Flattering, flowy and fabulous!
I loved this dress - it was so comfortable and flattering, and ended up being the perfect length for me, which isn't always easy to find for someone who is 5'9". Wrap dresses can also be hit or miss for me - as they can sometimes end up too revealing - but the coverage with this dress was perfect! Can't wait to rent it again!

Way too short - especially for tall girls
I'm 5'9" and this was like a shirt on me - if I bent over my entire backside would have been on display. So disappointing because it was otherwise super cute and flattering - just couldn't comfortably show that much skin.

I rented this for a bachelorette party and it was perfect! So comfortable while still being beautiful, I got so many compliments!

70s sleeves with form fitting body
My husband loved this shirt - it hugged all the right places while still being classy. The sleeves were by far my favorite part - totally elevated the whole look! Fit was definitely small - I'm a 34 C and the girls were definitely locked and loaded! And I'm 5'8" and the length juuuust hit the top of my high rise jeans.

Comfortable trendy jeans
I'm usually a 6, or 28 in jeans and the 8 in these was perfect! They were comfortable for all day wear and didn't stretch out too much throughout the day - overall great jeans! (Sweater pictured was also RTR and super comfy!)

Loved the oversized look of this sweater - the material is thick and really nice and soft. All around a great everyday sweater!

So comfy and so cute!
Loved this romper for walking around town during a sunny summer day - it was comfortable and stayed put around my chest despite the fact that it was a wrap (which is rare!) - all in all great rental!

I wanted to love this dress but it was gaping around the chest, incredibly small around the waist and super long.

Comfortable work from home jumpsuit
This jumpsuit was cute and fit nicely - one star deduction for us taller ladies, as it was pretty tight from the top of my shoulder to between my legs but wasn't a dealbreaker.

The perfect camel coat!
Loved this coat, it fit nicely through the shoulders and was a little boxy through the body but I didn't mind that. the fabric was luxurious and thick enough for a chillier fall day. Great option for work or a date night!

Fun winter blazer
This blazer was great for my friends daytime birthday party - it was a warmer February day (55 degrees) and with this over my sweater I didn't need a coat! It's a nice wool material and I longer than many of my other blazers - which I find nice as a taller girl but might be a little too large on women with a smaller frame. Overall it was a great option and I'd definitely rent again for work or other daytime events!

Two words: power shoulders
This pink dress... SWOON... I absolutely loved it. The material was thick and flattering, the fit and cut were perfect for my more hourglass shape - it hugged my curves in all the right ways. I am normally a 6 and sized up to an 8 - which was definitely the right call, as the 8 was snug in the bust. This works really well on a taller figure but may drown someone more petite. The button detail and THOSE SHOULDERS - elevated this look from 1950 to 2020 and made me feel so confident all night long.

Fun sweater dress for night out
This dress was fun for going out to a concert with some friends - the shoulder detail made it a little edgier and the material was thick so I remained warm - which was key in these winter months! I wore a medium and I fluctuate between small and medium but the M was fine - a little bulky in some places so small probably would have been better but the M worked just fine

Loved it so much I bought it!
I wore this top to valentines dinner with my husband and I got so many compliments - including from him - that I just knew I couldn't let this top go! As far as stiffer lace material goes, this shirt wasn't too scratchy - I've worn worse from RTR - and the see through panels were definitely a little more risqué than I was used to but I liked that about it. Definitely needed to wear a strapless and backless bra with this and I had to size up from my usual small to medium for a pretty snug fit.

Great ski pant!
These pants (pictured on left) were a little snug - I usually wear a 6 and sized up to an 8 and they fit perfectly. They don't have belt loops so it is important to get sizing on the tighter side so they stay up! But overall they were so flattering, so comfortable, and so warm (which was key for me!) the material is lined and nice and thick and has a zip option in the back if you want them to fit over your boots. Overall great pants! Will rent again for my next ski adventure!

Sexy option for valentines dinner
I LOVED this dress so much - it was flattering, a little trendy and so comfortable. It was a little thin as far as the material goes, so I would say better for warmer months, but it was so much fun to wear regardless. I'll definitely rent again for a night out or a party when things warm back up! Also, I didn't notice it, and maybe I'm the only one, but this dress has faux buttons along the left side (wearing it) of the dress. Just FYI in case it matters to anyone who might have missed that!

These were fun popping out from under my hair!
While I can't believe these retail for as much as they do (they are literally plastic), they were the exact look I was going for and punched up my all black outfit perfectly for a party I was going to. They're a little large in size, so if you're more petite or have shorter hair, they may be a little overwhelming. Overall did the trick for what I rented them for!

Loved it so much I bought it!
This shirt was just the right amount of sexy with the sheer panel in the front, while still being covered everywhere else! The zip up side made the fit snug and flattering, and the long bell sleeves were just so fun and flirty! As far as sizing goes, I run between a small and a medium depending on the brand, the medium fit snugly for me.

Nice dress for a night out
I wanted to love this dress, but I just liked it. It kept riding up and was pretty short to begin with so that was a little frustrating - the sleeves were also very loose compared to the rest of the dress which I found a little strange. I ended up wearing it and got compliments but didn't feel it was as great as it could have been.

This coat!!
This coat is fun and cozy and I got so many compliments - really spiced up my outfit and also kept me warm. The only thing I'll say is that it does run oversized, which was ok with me but if you're looking for a more fitted look, you may want to try to size down.

Beautiful hippie top!
I love the button details on this and the long flowy sleeves, fit was perfect - I am usually a 6 and ordered the six for a fitted look and loved it! It's lined with a zip up on the side to make the stiffer material fit comfortably - all around great top!

This dress is GORGEOUS
This dress made me feel like a million bucks - the material was thick and stitched well, hung beautifully and fit like a glove. I wore this for thanksgiving in Florida and got so many compliments. I only wish I could have bought it! Worth noting, it felt a little snug for an 8 - I am usually a 6, so sizing up to the 8 was a good move... and I needed to use double sided tape around the neckline so the girls remained covered - a note for bustier girls like me!

Sexy, comfortable, classy! This top is all the things!
I wore this top so many time, for various levels of fancy occasions, and it worked perfectly every time. Whether with ripped jeans and boots or with high heels and cigarette pants, this top makes any outfit special. I was sad to send it back but the price tag even with the discount was still too steep for me. Fit wise, it definitely runs small - I'm usually between a small and a medium, and the large was snug. Glad I listened to other reviews before I rented!

Fun dress for warmer weather
I actually really liked the cut of this dress, found the neckline to be flattering, but the length was short (for reference I'm 5'9") and the fit was snug, I'm usually a small but am glad I sized up to a medium. I also rented this in the wintertime in NYC area, and would not have survived in the cold without tights on... the material is pretty thin so this would definitely recommend this as a spring/summer rental.

I loved this so much I bought it!
This coat is warm, stylish and a beautiful color - i can't tell you how many compliments I wear every time I go out in it. For winter, I've been looking for a coat that would keep me warm while going out to dinner or for drinks in NYC but still looks cute enough for a night out -- this does all of that and more!! I loved it so much that I bought it! I found it fits true to size, zips up no problem with a little bit of extra room but is still flattering.
