Extremely cool

Claira Embroidered Button Down Top
Sea New York
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 36C
the combo of pattern, shape, and length turned a little Amish on me
This dress fit a bit long (I am average height), and the floral pattern and higher neckline ended up making the dress feel way over the line of "prairie style."

So fun, easy to wear. Wore to a concert and got a million compliments.

So fun
These pants scared me at first but once I started putting together outfits I realized how many places I wanted to wear them! Ended up wearing with a cream sweater to the ballet. The only downside is that the waistband gets itchy because of the sequins.

Rented this for a party that got cancelled! But I was excited to wear it; super flattering for a sheer shirt and fun color way.

Seems cooler than it is
I really wanted to love this sweater; the idea of the design is so cool but the execution was a bit off on me. It does that clingy sweater dress thing, which if you can get over the fit through the actual body is nice. But then the long skirt part doesn't stretch because there's no tension so it just sits to the side awkwardly. The arms are super long and the neck was too short on my neck. Just imperfect.

Great statement piece
This was fun to wear and definitely fits in the category of "things I don't need to own but was the best dressed when I wore it." The pockets puckered a bit which was the only thing keeping it from a 5th star.

Love!
Fits true to size (and yes, it can do that puckering thing that every skirt this shape does). Such a lovely green color for spring, can act as a pop or almost as a neutral. It was so comfortable and versatile that I ended up wearing it at work, out to dinner, and on a flight.

Fun vest
Wore this to a concert and it was super fun as a top on its own; the arm holes are a little low so a cute bralette or cami under was a must.

I have rented these multiple times and they are just the perfect pant for cold winter days when you want to look chic but not sacrifice any coziness. Really nice brown/black contrast and go with anything.

I hated the fit of these, which was sad because so many of the photos looked great. They were tight in my waist and way too big everywhere else.

fun summer dress
This was a super fun dress that I wore to a pool party. Only downside is the straps are WAY too long. It's casual so I just tied them, but would be an issue for a more formal event.

Couldn't wear this one
This piece fit me really strangely in the hips (uncomfortably tight) and the chest area (Don't know how anyone could wear it without something underneath or pinning it really awkwardly). It's a fun fabric, but I couldn't make it work.

This necklace lays nicely, stayed put and added a little bling to my outfit for a wedding. Not a huge statement piece but too formal to wear all the time, so a good piece for renting.

LOVE: breezy, classy, summery.
This dress a very light silky fabric, perfect for a bridal shower on a hot day. It is a "faux" wrap, so the skirt will not blow open. I did have to pin the top closed, though (as I do on every wrap-style dress). Long enough to be appropriate for a more conservative event but still shows off curves and is very flattering. Would buy if I could.

Super fun sparkles
I wore this for a nonprofit fundraiser. It was a stand out against all the black dresses, but because it's a dark color it still worked for a semi-formal affair. Gots lots of compliments. This was a replacement for my original order being messed up and I'm so happy that I found it in the store. The sequins did not bother me at all along seams like in some other sequined dresses I've rented. The pattern can lay a bit weird down the front but it's a minor issue, I'm sure no one else noticed it.

I mean if you want a statement coat, this is it. This definitely wasn't something I normally would go for-- the RTR store added this to my rental for me after a series of mess-ups with my original order--but it was SO fun to wear. Lots of compliments.

Obsessed!
Wore this for a Madmen-themed holiday party and it was perfect for the occasion, but also would totally rent again/would've worked for a non-themed event too. Super flattering, fun style and great red color, fits true to size, and easy to wear a strapless bra. I was a little concerned that the off-the-shoulder would bunch up like it is in some other review photos but I had no problem with it all night.

Super easy to wear, stretchy and flattering.
I wore this dress for my birthday celebration; it's super easy to wear and really flatters curves, which is rare for this shape of dress. The fabric is actually ribbed, which I couldn't tell from the pictures, but I think it helps to camouflage some imperfections and was really comfy.

Obsessed.
Wearing this dress made me soooo happy. It is so sparkly and fun and really stood out at a gala full of black dresses and suits. So many beautiful details and really high quality. I got lots of compliments from a variety of ages in a rather conservative crowd. It's definitely form fitting and takes a zipper-helping friend but otherwise was super easy to wear and you don't need any complicated bra or other undergarments with it (I wore strapless). There is a tiny bow at the top of he keyhole opening at the bust, which I hated when I first looked at it, but it's really not noticeable once you're wearing the dress.

Fun, comfortable, but heavy fabric.
Loved wearing this romper to my good friend's baby shower. It's a flattering fit except the torso is a tad short, so I was adjusting a lot to avoid that fun cameltoe thing ( I don't think anyone else would have noticed, just feels annoying). The fabric is also very heavy, so not great for a hot or humid day.

Colorful stand out at late August wedding
Fits true to size, super easy to wear, and received lots of compliments. The patterns in the yellow fabric are gorgeously detailed and the fringe is super fun. The one I wore looked like it had some wear along the side seams so the bottom hem didn't hang perfectly, but my friends convinced me that no one but me would notice it, and they were right. Fun, easy choice.

Off the shoulder twist on classic LBD
This dress fits true to size, considering that it is supposed to be looser. However, the looser fit meant hat the sleeves didn't stay anywhere I put them and would have been impossible to do anything with my hands. I wore the smaller size, which fit more snugly through the body so it gave a different look but made the sleeves possible to handle. Great pick for my partners office holiday party: classic but still edgy.

Fun and fabulous
I thought these were going to fit huge based on the reviews but basically they were true to size for me. The fabric is a lot heavier than I imagined which made them less than a dream to wear to a summer concert, but they were absolutely the right look. Fun for a bit of sparkle without going over the top!

easy to wear, simple elegance
This dress fit true to size and is easy to wear with a normal or strapless bra; it was a great choice for my backup dress since the original one was way too low cut! The front is very simple and rather conservative but the bright colors and the back provides some more drama to spice it up; the back is almost like a train, slightly longer than the front hem. I am 5'5" and wore big heels and it was the perfect length. The only downside was that the fabric does that cling-y thing so you can see every line (even with Spanx) and your belly button through it! Got lots of compliments and would recommend.

OBSESSED.
This was one of my best rentals ever and the MOST fun to wear. Super chic, modern, and different than all the other cocktail dresses for the rehearsal dinner I wore it to. Extremely comfortable, easy to wear and accessorize, just all around the best garment ever. I actually scoured the Internet to see if I could purchase it (could not find).

Perfect for hosting a dinner party.
Fit true to size, was flattering and comfortable to wear while busily hosting a dinner party. Got lots of compliments and comments that it was perfectly thematic as a dinner party host (kind of vintage-y feeling. You can definitely see a bra clasp in the back, but I wore a lay bralette, which was cute and not too revealing. 10/10, would rent again.

Easy to wear, classic style
This dress was easy to wear and classy, just didn't excite me that much. It was a backup that I chose when my first option was a total bust. I didn't get the compliments I usually get when I RTR but if you're looking for a dress that's true to size and you won't have to think about twice, this is a good one.

exactly the feel I wanted.
I LOVED wearing this skirt, it was exactly the vintage-y, girly, wintery look I wanted and was really fun to wear; I got a ton of compliments because it was so different from what everyone else wore to the office holiday party. It could be dressed up more than I did, as well, but I added lots of sparkly jewelry and red heels and felt dressed up enough. The only drawback was the waistband; the L actually was really big and the waist slid down a bit throughout the night, but the bottom edge of the waistband is stitched so that its not stretchy so I couldn't even get the medium past my hips even though the waist would have been better. Not the best made item I've rented, but super fun to wear, and comfortable.

LOOOOVVVEEEE. got many compliments and felt fabulous.
The fit was pretty true to size, I had a little bunching in the back because I have a relatively short torso, but it wasn't anything that stopped me from wanting to wear it. I wore it to a beach wedding and dressed it up with gold jewelry and heels, and it was the perfect combination of formal and fun. The color is much brighter than it looks in many of the photos (especially the model ones), which surprised me at first but I ended up loving the color as well. Another A+ from RTR.
