Gorgeous and luxe blouse
This blouse is gorgeous, and the silk is of amazing quality. I am petite and have short arms, but it was no problem to cuff the sleeves once. For those who find it hard to style, I found it much easier once I realized there's a concealed button in the scarf itself that holds it in place on the shoulder. It was a bit tricky to do up, but then the scarf fell perfectly and looked great for the whole workday. Absolutely recommend, this is the second time I've rented it and I would buy it if I could afford it!

Great soft blazer for a business casual office
I found this easy to wear, and I appreciated that it wasn't too boxy and the sleeves weren't too long for my short arms. The color is a versatile neutral, and you can pair it with black or dress it down with jeans. I was surprised that the fabric felt rough and scratchy inside, as I don't usually have trouble with itchy clothes (wool sweaters don't bother me). I wore it once with a short sleeve shirt, and will pair it with a long sleeve top next time to minimize the itch factor.

Very cute, thin sweatshirt
I was surprised by how thin the material is. There's no "sweatshirt" fuzz inside, so it's well suited for only slightly chilly days. The overall look is really cute, and I loved the puffed sleeves. However, it is cropped, and I prefer a little more coverage over my midsection.

Gorgeous, flattering dress
This was so flattering and comfortable! I wore it for a family Christmas party, and loved that the dress is versatile enough for both a cocktail party but can also read as a day dress. I am petite, and it hit me just below the calf.

At just under 5'2'', these ended up being a nice length on me. While comfortable and work appropriate, I found them to be pretty unmemorable.

Crisp white blouse with interesting details
I found the overall fit to be boxy, and for me the Medium was too wide across the shoulders. The fabric is crisp and arrived neatly pressed, but it made an unfortunate "swish" sound when I moved my arms. It was definitely loud enough to be picked up by a microphone, so I had to make it a point to try to limit my movement during virtual client meetings. The pintucked detailing on the front is nice, and elevates this beyond a basic white blouse.

Beautiful knit, but runs very large
High quality, interesting knit pattern that's thin but warm, and not at all fuzzy. The only drawback is that I found the fit to be huge and boxy. I could have gone down two sizes. The shoulders seem especially wide, and I had to cuff the sleeves three times. I felt like I looked like I borrowed my husband's sweater.

Pretty but not as functional as I had hoped
This is a pretty standard puffer jacket, with a slightly rubbery-feeling silver finish. The down filling is nice and kept me warm, but my main complaint was with the quality of the zippers and pockets. On a ski jacket, it was very annoying not to be able to open the pockets easily. At one point I had to actually take my jacket off completely and use both hands to pry open the zipper on the side of the arm to get out the credit card I had put inside. Worse, the side pockets kept unzipping themselves while I was skiing. If you're just looking for a cute puffer coat and dig the silver look, then this is perfect. But for actual function, I was a little disappointed.

Super cute, puffed sleeve lends a nice touch
I really loved this as a base layer while skiing and playing in the snow. This inside has a soft, fuzzy feel so it never became sweaty or clingy, even during exercise. I also found the cut to be very flattering, as it has a slight puff to the sleeves and tapers in at the waist. It was very flattering. If it was a little less expensive, I would have loved to have bought it!

Great for skiing and winter sports
These are warm, functional pants that kept me toasty and dry in deep snow. As others have noted, they run small, especially if you plan to wear a layer underneath. I wore them with leggings and found them to be snug but not uncomfortable around my waist. I have very short legs but found the length to be okay once I had snow boots or ski boots on. If I was going to be wearing them indoors with just socks for some reason, they would be ridiculously long. I actually found the quality and function so great that I bought them! One of my few RTR purchases.

Felt like a grey cotton ball
I rented this in hopes of wearing it skiing, but exchanged it for another jacket because it is truly SO puffy, especially on the sleeves. I'm sure it's extremely warm, but there was so much volume between my arms and my side, it felt like I couldn't move freely. As for the color, I found it to be a very boring grey.

Sleeves are very tight
This is a fun color and a nice lightweight fabric, great for summer. However, the trim at the edge of the sleeves was very tight, making it unwearable for me. I don't think sizing up would have necessarily helped, as the rest of the shirt fit well. If you have very long, thin arms, it would probably be more flattering.

Nice swimsuit cover-up
It's got a generous fit and the material is light and breezy. Because it is such a light material, I don't think I would feel comfortable wearing it other than as a beachwear. It's a nice length for petites, providing good coverage without being overwhelming.

Boxy fit, scratchy metallic threads
This was horribly unflattering on me. The sweater was much boxier than I had expected, and the sleeve length really accentuated my upper arms and made me feel much wider than I am. The material is a nice thick knit, but the metallic threads were scratchy.

So fun to wear
This felt like a very expensive blouse. The pattern and colours are really eye-catching and fun, but not so flashy that I felt conspicuous or that it was too much for everyday wear. Easy, blousy fit and nice length, not too short.

Super flattering and comfortable
I am kind of regretting that I didn't buy these. They were very comfortable, with a stretchy lightweight material that didn't get too baggy even after multiple wears. The lighter color feels on trend and perfect for summer. Great for petites, as they hit me at ankle length.

Cute print, beautiful fabric
The dress feels very high quality. I found it to be a little tight across the bust and hips. I should have sized up. Length was perfect on me, but I'm petite so on a taller person it may feel too short.

Mom pooch
These didn't fit me well. I am a mom with two kids, and I found these emphasized my lower tummy and I felt like I was making the "mom jean" look a little too literal.

Beautiful fabric and can be dressed up or down
Since I'm pretty short (a little under 5'2"), the skirt hit me around the ankle. It was still a cute length, and the cut was forgiving of my postpartum tummy. Really beautiful drape and fabric.

Big and blousy
The sleeves were too long on me, and because of the loose elastic cuffs they are impossible to push up or roll up. Overall fit was loose and blousy, with a relatively low opening at the neckline.

Comfortable, but becomes baggy
These are a very soft, comfortable and relatively thin denim. I found the waist true to size and it comfortably held in my post-partum tummy. Because I have a short inseam, I had to roll up the hems to avoid bunching around my ankles. By the end of a few hours of wear, they still felt as comfy as ever but had started to bag out in the stomach. I think these are best suited for times when you want some stretch or want to prioritize comfort.

Fits a third-trimester bump
I got this as an alternative to a maternity winter coat, and overall I'm really happy with the quality. The wool feels dense and warm expensive, and the leather trim is a nice touch. While heavy, it is not as warm as I had expected. I am layering a down vest under it to be warm enough in damp and chilly weather (about 30-40 degrees F). It looks quite chic. Note it is over-sized enough that it covers a big pregnancy bump easily.
