Absolutely loved this shirt, almost bought it!
Such a cozy, basic staple piece that looks great on for work and for nights out. I would def rent again!

Winter wedding elegance
Great rental for a winter wedding. I'm usually a 6 but I read reviews and rented both 4 & 6. Both fit well and this dress had some stretch so prob could've done smaller size but opted for the larger size just for more fabric and to be more comfortable as it was the coooldest day of the year. Happy with my decision!

Warm, comfy, just long
I wore this a couple of times to dinner and a date. Very comfy and warm for 40 degree winter nights. I will say there was a decent stretch and I wore booties but prob needed higher heels bc these pants were long for a shortie like me so probably wouldn't rent again

LOVE this wash and way it fits!
My first pair of AGOLDE jeans and I’m in love! I was on the fence to buy these but they did run a bit tight on the hips when sitting down so next time I’ll go a size up! Definitely hugged all the right curves though!

Super sexy, but super short! Perfect nod to Lady Gaga’s style!
Pros: stretchy, comfortable, sexy!! The lace and bodice is good for all body types, and the mini dress is perfectly on trend. Cons: boy oh boy, this was really really short! I almost didn’t wear and I’m petite so I was v confused how ppl could wear this out. I almost didn’t wear but I found pairing it with a tennis skirt under so my goodies weren’t all hanging out was the best hack bc it gave the skirt more volume and covered my 🍑 with booty shorts! I wore this for my Gaga-chella funeral inspired theme for my 40th bday party, and it was a hit! Threw in some fishnets, knee high boots, a veil, and gloves and my outfit was exactly the modern gothic vibe I was going for. Best part was that it was great to dance around in once I found my hack to wearing it. Everyone loved it, even though I had serious doubts about it initially. If you are more modest and are too self conscious of showing skin, I’d skip the rental!

Maxi Dress of my dreams! 😍
Wore this number to a fancy cocktail party and then to a dive bar for dancing after. The skirt is very full and long so I had to wear heels to make sure the dress didn’t drag. But everyone LOVED this dress and I’m glad I rented it! If you have a wide rib cage like me, I’d prob do a size up to be comfortable but I made it work for the occasions and almost didn’t return bc it just was so cute, feminine and flirty! Seems Staud dresses are tighter in the midsection so if you have a bigger chest def go up a size :)

Could live in these jeans!
I’m between a 27-28 but got the smaller size and I’m glad I did. These jeans were so comfortable and I wore on my vacation in Italy to dinners and throughout sightseeing. Got them NWT and kind of regret not purchasing them. Great stretch and crop for me being 5’3.

Cute and on trend, just too tight for me
Got this NWT and was excited to wear. Wore this for a brunch with a friend and to church and paired with white pants. While I wanted to love it, I prob should’ve ordered a size up bc it ended up being too tight and there was some gapping in the chest (and I’m small chested). Also after a meal there was no give in the blouse so sadly I ended up changing immediately after into something else.

Great everyday, day-to-night dress!
I wore this 3x to various events and would’ve kept if it was cheaper. The straps run long and kept falling off the shoulders and I am small chested but this low cut was flattering and I would def rent/wear again for a good go-to every day type LBD

Loved it, wished I could’ve kept!
MUST RENT! Such a beautiful jacket, and so fluffy and warm! I probably could’ve gone one size down but went with a small because it’s my usual size and didn’t mind the oversized fit. One of my faves I’ve ever rented…Would’ve bought it if it weren’t for the price!

Just ok
Wore this to church one day and WFH. It was warm and not itchy however the back is way too cropped and the front is too long that it’s awkward to wear with almost everything. Probably wouldn’t rent again

Size down
Usually a size 27 but I read reviews to go down a size and glad I went with 26. I’m 5’3 and these pants hit just at the right length. These came NWT and I wanted to try wide legs out. I almost wanted to buy these since they were brand new, but realized the mini tie isn’t removable plus it wasn’t as flattering on the tush so ended up returning. Would possibly rent again if I had an outfit in mind!

Good size to hold phone keys mini wallet and some other items. Would def rent again, goes with everything, dressy or casual. Will say that the handle runs stiff and I removed the gold shoulder chain since that wasn’t the style I was going for.

Very regal, warm, wintry white top!
Loved this top! This felt pretty true to size however I am petite and have a short torso and I found this top to be just right on me. If you’re taller, you definitely need to wear high waist jeans otherwise your midriff may show if you raise your arms a little bit. This top is very versatile, I wore this 3x: once to work with slacks, once to an engagement party with black jeans, and then another with flared jeans for a more hippie vibe. 10/10 would rent again in winter!

Comfy, flowy and fun!
Wore this to a daytime wedding celebration post-Thanksgiving which was more “traditional” and “Sunday best” attire, and it honestly ended up being perfect for the affair. I felt glamorous with the side cape and side part in my hair worked together nicely! Even though the top part was a bit loose on me and the dress was more fabric for my size, it was the perfect length for me (very hard to find long, flowy dresses that don’t drag on the floor since I’m petite!). I HIGHLY recommend especially if you’re feeling bloated or ate too much turkey this Thanksgiving 😇

On trend...instant glam!
HUGE fan of the flowy, feminine details of this dress mixed with the equally fierce animal print! Wore this all day to coffee (which I was a bit overdressed for, but I still got major compliments from strangers!) and a dance show at night and it was so comfortable! Only minor drawback is that the back is very long so if you're petite like me and walking up and down stairs I had to hike the skirt up so it didn't drag on the floor. Would definitely rent again for a date or party!

Incredible coat, fit for a rock star!
Got this coat new with tags and I may never give back! This coat is to die for! The blush pink is an unexpected, unique color for winter, but very plush and warm. I only docked one star because there's no way to close/zip the jacket so not ideal for abnormally windy days. It also runs pretty oversized so would prefer it in XS, but it was so gorgeous that I didn't mind keeping it in the small. Definitely a well-made quality piece that stands out from the generic teddy or puffy coats this winter!

Luxe, glamorous, and cozy! The print is a show stopper
Having a hard time returning this one! All the reviews were on point, it's super warm and cozy and the print is Cruella De-vine! The only issue with this coat is that the hooks are a bit finicky and don't stay closed, which is not ideal in windy situations but still, what a beauty! Also this fur collar is too pretty to not show off (meaning you can't wear a scarf over) so I'd steer clear on a particularly windier days!

Runs way small - Size two sizes up!
I was so excited to wear this piece since I love VEDA and went a size up based on the reviews, however when I tried it on it was way too tight on my waist. Also I see what everyone was saying about the cut being too short on the hem, but honestly it was a fine cut for me since I'm petite. I may try again but rent two sizes up next time. Also my piece looked a bit overworn and the white part of the pant was slightly discolored so hopefully the next time it won't be. Fun piece tho!

Lisa Frank nostalgia!
I wanted to love this sweater, however it fits slightly weird on my body. I sized up bc it was a crop but it just looked too big on the bottom for my slim frame. The rest of the sweater's proportions fit very nicely, and I didn't even mind the shoulder pads which give this sweater more definition. If I had a bigger bust and a black high waist skirt or jeans (mine are mid-rise in the photo) to pair, it probably would've looked great! Loved the colors on it, like a Lisa Frank zebra lol!

This dress/romper made me believe in magic!
Now you see it, now you don't! Perfect for day to night: The 1 shoulder with bow detail, the detachable high low skirt that converts to a romper....Great for dancing the night away! Fit-wise, I have a small chest so the top was a little loose, whereas the waist was pretty snug. Also the skirt is quite long and flowy, so beware of ppl stepping on it. I wore with high heels to a wedding in wine country and paired with the Nocturne earrings and a fur coat for the evening chill. Best RTR rental!

Not too warm, and is extremely long.
I had a particular outfit in mind with this coat and it went well together but it wasn't warm enough so I had to return. Also it hits at the ankles for petite figures so if you're not used to long coats you may have trouble. Deep pockets and good for layering on weekends or everyday

A Swarovski dream. Had to purchase!
I have been searching for statement silver earrings for a while so I decided to give these a try. These earrings were so glamorous and made every outfit stand out. I held onto to them longer and I just couldn't part with it, so they were my first RTR purchase! Perfect to add in holiday sparkle or dress up an everyday outfit for work or going out. Great quality, and not too heavy or gaudy either! I will definitely rent more from this brand.

Ssssssassy snakeprint statement skirt!
Loved all the colors on this skirt! I paired with black leggings and a black turtleneck but would've went true to size or a size down even bc the 6-8 swallowed me in my petite figure. Really fun and trendy! Would rent a smaller size again for a night out or to work!

Oversized but standout raspberry color!
Loved the raspberry color for fall/winter transition! I wore this to work as well as to a nighttime networking rooftop event. This was an oversized boxy coat that runs large (which I didn't mind for the outfit) so will need to order a XS next time to see if it fits better since I'm petite. I wore it on a 30ish degree day in NY and hat to pair with a turtleneck scarf and gloves and was able to stay warm. That said, for extremely frigid days I'd go with a puffier coat.

Cute but blue color was hard to spot unless you look closely!
Love me a good suede menswear vest! Soft, subtly dressy vibe but still edgy enough that it caught people's attention. Wore this to a work networking event and it was such a perfect outfit for it. Professional, fancy and you can dress it down or up and wear day or night! Perfect with boots and black and chunky accessories

Flirty fun denim jacket
I wanted an everyday denim jacket that made a statement plus I love Levi's quality so this jacket was a dream. I unfortunately rented it towards early fall when temps were dropping so I couldn't keep for too long. Probably much better for summer or warm vacations! Definitely would rent again.

Great pattern, perfect fall sweater!
Really warm and colorful sweater. I tried on small and XS and went with the XS bc it fit me better on the shoulders. Sits a bit short on the torso so if I raised my arms my tummy would show so something to be mindful of. Hits big in the shoulders but I still loved the fit overall

Love this coat! Can dress up or down. Leather under the collar is such a beautiful touch. Will definitely want to keep it around for all of fall since it's the perfect autumnal coat. I can't wait to wear with more pieces! Only downside is that it's not the warmest material but if you add a thick sweater you'll be fine

Touch of elegance meets glam
This was my first RTR rental. It took me 12 dresses to find the right fit for my slender, petite figure. Only drawback: it fit a bit tight in the torso around the beading area (an issue I had with most RTR dresses I tried on bc I have a wide rib cage) so if I could I probably would've gone a size up so I could be comfortable. All you need is a pair of big dangly earrings and a pair of great pumps and you're set! Best part was the sexy crisscross straps in the back! All in all, LOVED this rental!
