Power Dress
I rented this dress for a September wedding. I loved its chic simplicity. A friend's husband called it a "power dress" and that might be one of the best compliments I've ever received. I'm pear shaped and loved how the dress hugged my body in the right places. The only down side was that the inside lining was quite tight around my hips and rode up a bit but that didn't keep me from dancing the night away. I highly recommend this dress.

Couldn't wear because of the straps.
I didn't end up wearing this dress because the straps were so long. I have gained a little weight in my tummy and hips so I sized up. Big mistake. The straps were way too long and not adjustable. The quality also seemed questionable, like it may have been see through in the sunlight. I wouldn't rent this again even if I knew what size to get.

Cute but not worth a rent.
The fit of this sweater/jacket is odd. It is much shorter than it looks in the picture. I typically wear a size 6 or a medium in other items like this and I know that Lululemon typically runs small on me but this just made me look so short and stout. I don't even have a big chest! It's cute and warm but wasn't worth my rental slot.

Very cute but fit was way off.
The jeans were very cute but I could barely slide them over my hips and there was no hope of getting them buttoned. I wear a 29 or 30 in other brands such as Madewell, so I am perplexed. I would like to rent these again in a different size but am nervous to do so.

Great Sweater for Everyday
This is the second time I've rented this sweater but this time I sized up because I've gained a little weight. The fit was perfect through the midsection but I had a lot of room in the sleeve length. Great for tall people I would imagine. There was a little snag in the front in this size. Love the material and quality though. Overall just a great piece.

Perfect Blazer
I've been wanting to try the oversized blazer trend for quite awhile and this was a great piece to get me started. I loved the fit - big but I wasn't left swimming in it. The quality was amazing. Pieces like this are a great reminder of why I love using RTR. I felt like I could wear the blazer multiple ways. I'd definitely rent again and maybe even consider buying it.

Really cute and unique sweater.
I love everything about this sweater except for the fact that it is very itchy. I'm quite sensitive to materials that have any itch to them but if you don't have that issue, I definitely recommend this rental.

Beautiful bag but not as secure as I would like.
This bag is beautiful and looks luxurious. I wouldn't, however, recommend it or order it again simply for the reason that it just wasn't very secure. The snap on the inside of the bag didn't secure the bag at all and unsnapped easily. The main closure was supposed to be secured by pulling the straps tight. Once the bag was on my back, I never knew if it was wide open or tightly closed.

Perfect small bag for travel!
I attended a three day concert festival that had placed restrictions on the size of the bag you could bring in. This bag met the size requirement and I was able to fit items like my cell phone, two pairs of sunglasses, sunscreen and lip gloss. I liked that it had a nice structure to it so my sunglasses did not get squished.

Old School Glam.
I have loved experimenting with Kate Spade's spring line this year. I've worn multiple pieces and have found that all run true to size. Sometimes, high-waisted skirts can run big on me so I ordered a size smaller than I normally would in this piece. I definitely could have gone with my usual size 6. I still looked and felt fabulous in the skirt, however, I was traveling for work the day I wore it and it did start to get a little tight when I was sitting. I love this piece and would absolutely rent it again.

Showstopper!
This dress is as every bit as comfortable as it is beautiful. The colors are vibrant and classy. The cut is flattering and feminine. I love how the dress trailed behind me as I walked. I felt beautiful and high fashion yet was still able to dance the night away, walk around town and eat a late night pizza. My chest is much smaller than my hips so this cut and style was a perfect fit for me. The cut of the top is very flattering. I highly recommend this rental. Sad to send it back.

Just Meh
This piece is a pretty basic cut but I thought the color would really make it a standout. It looked okay but I wouldn't rent it again. The fit ran true to size and it was comfortable.

Classic, sexy and high-quality piece.
This dress was perfect for a night at the theater in London. I felt classy and sexy. The material was a good weight and perfect for London in November. I like that the dress was knee length so it looked great walking around but was also comfortable to sit in. It took a little bit to get used to the cape but now I wish all of my tops had capes. I would highly recommend this piece.

This dress was certainly a head turner. I received compliments from all ages and felt beautiful!
The fit of this dress was stellar. The size 6 hugged my body in all the right places. I was concerned that the open back would gap when sitting or bending, etc., so I was prepared with double stick tape, however, the tape wasn't needed. Once the dress was on, it stayed in place perfectly. This dress made me feel bold, classy, sexy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend ordering it.

I felt beautiful and chic dancing the night away in this classic number.
I absolutely loved this item and am so sad to have to return it. I wore the jumpsuit to a January wedding in Fort Myers, FL. Although we experienced some freak cold weather, the weight of the garment would have been perfect for the 70 degree weather I was expecting. I was concerned that the length in the leg would fall at a strange spot but it looked perfect with a 4" heal. I have thicker hips and a full booty but those areas fit perfectly even though I was in a size 4. The slightly open back added a fun and sexy twist but I had to wear a sticky cup bra so that you wouldn't see any bra straps. I added a green suede wedge and gold jewelry for a classy pop of color. The only downside to the outfit was that it had to be taken completely off to go to the bathroom. This, however, was fairly quick and easy as there are only two buttons at the back of the neck and a zipper on the side. I would absolutely recommend this jumpsuit to anyone.

I wore this dress to a bachelorette party in the Wisconsin Dells.
The theme of the party I attended was for everyone to wear a solid color in the rainbow and the bride wore white. I chose this dress for the bold purple-blue color and it was perfect. The cut of the dress was flattering and fit true to size, however, the cap sleeves seemed much smaller on me than in the picture. They made the dress hard to dance in and that was all I was doing. The sleeves kept bunching up. The material was nice, kind of thick for a summer event though and it was the kind of fabric in which water or condensation from your drink glass will temporarily leave a mark. Overall, the dress was nice and worked for the event I attended but I wouldn't rent it again unlike others I have found at RTR.

This dress was perfect for a hot night out in Ft. Lauderdale for a bachelorette party!
I love this dress and wish that it was my own. It was flirty and comfortable, exactly what I was looking for. The only complaint that I have about it is that the arm holes were cut a little deep. I might have wore my backup size 8 for a more comfortable fit around my rib cage, however, the arm holes would have been too large and left a gap. I'm not very busty, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. Overall, this dress was an excellent choice!

I was totally skeptical about this whole experience but I would do it again and again!
I have smaller shoulders and a big ol' booty, so I have trouble finding dresses in local shops and department stores at an affordable price. I figured that the shape of the dress would be flattering and I wouldn't be worried about it not fitting the booty. However, that left me with concerns about the shoulders and sleeves not fitting. I didn't want them to be too roomy or not big enough for my yoga biceps. To my great relief, the dress fit so true to size and I could tell that it's a high-quality piece. I was comfortable and could cut a rug, while looking extremely elegant. I felt very beautiful in it and would recommend this dress for any body type.
