totally worth a rent
I have plenty of my own earrings and usually regret using a RTR rental spot for jewelry, but these were an exception. Beautiful, just enough sparkle, and not heavy at all. The two-tone metal is subtle but makes these SO versatile.

Loved this shirt. It fit a bit small for an XL (I'm between a L and a XL , usually) and was quite short in the torso for me, but I have a ridiculously long torso, so...

If you are of an age where you have to worry about the all-over pleating making you look like a droopy-boobed great grandma, make sure you have your best tit-bosting bra on when you wear this.

Loved this shirt except for the tight fit. I would say I am a true size 12, but even the 14 was tight across my 38C bust, distorting the pattern/print and emphasizing my chest more than I really wanted.

This shirt was cute and I liked the longer fit on my long torso. I think I'm just not a fan of cutesy florals, which is why it was a 4/5 stars for me.

So cute I'm keeping them
These pants are great! They have a fun, funky style and the straps at the ankles are a nice styling tool. The waist ties at the sides mean that even though I am in between a size 12 and 14 I was still able to make the size 14 fit well.

Great versatile top
Loved the style and the fabric was heavy and felt expensive. A nice zipper up the back lends a bit more structure to the top, too. The XL was available and because I wasn't sure about my size fit in this brand I went with it. It worked out fine, but if I rented it again I would go with a size L.

a fine bag
The bag was fine. A nice size and I like the short and long strap options. Overall, the bag was a bit "meh" though. I think for RTR I should only choose super-fun bags I would never buy and want to have just for a weekend or something special. This everyday bag wasn't very exciting and I found myself just reaching for my own black purses instead while I had this.

A great top that can be dressed up or down. I wore it to work with a black blazer, but it could have easily worked for a dinner out. The fabric has a lot of give to it. I'm usually between an L and XL, this was a bit loose and I probably could have worn the L with no problem.

Not very put-together looking
Didn't wear. I expected a more structured denim for this piece. The fabric was sort of floppy and wouldn't give up wrinkles and a folded hem at the bottom, which made it look cheaper than it should. Honestly, part of my dislike of this dress was that the style just didn't fit me - it was a bit too cutesy with the puff sleeves and tulip shape to the hem. Might fit others' tastes better.

didn't work on me
Didn't wear. The material of this dress just didn't have enough give. Even with shaping undergarments it showed every bulge underneath, even my belly button! Yikes. I also didn't prefer this neckline on me, it was neither high enough nor low enough to be interesting.

high waisted for my long torso
I have a really long torso, so getting a good fit at my waist can be difficult. These pants have a nice high waist and fit me well. They were a bit cropped on me, but the ankle style with the front zippers made it work.

funky and fun
This shirt is boxy in a good way with a really fun reveal in the back. I didn't realize that the pattern cuts across the back at an angle and leads to the single open sleeve - really clever construction. I wore it with a pair of black skinny pants with a tuck at the front; I got a lot of compliments.

It's a really nice size if you need to carry a few things. This purse feels expensive, the leather is thick and soft and the hardware is not flimsy. Of course, that means this little cutie is a bit heavy on the shoulder.

Everyone should try these earrings! They are so pretty and just different enough to be interesting. I think they work equally well with a t-shirt as they do with a fancy dress. I actually just bought the earring because I couldn't stand to be without them once I sent this pair back to RTR.

Okay
First, and admittedly my own fault, I thought this purse was black, but it is a dark navy. I rented it because I was thinking about buying the bag and wanted to try it out first. I won't be buying it. I rated it low for a couple reasons: 1) the chain strap is heavy and clunky, I kept banging it on things 2) there isn't much space in the body of the purse 3) the leather "dangles" from the zippers, that I thought would be cute and a bit edgy, were in the way and showed crumple marks where they folded on themselves when the purse was set down 4) the front pocket with the big clip is a huge pain to get into, I put my cell phone in it and couldn't get it out in time to answer it when it was ringing

Slightly bigger than the usual night-out bag.
This purse is a great size. It was big enough to hold my iPhone6 , lipstick, credit cards, and could have held a bit more. The gold makes it a little more fancy, while the thick, pebbled leather gives it a tough vibe.

Sassy!
The neckline of this dress is really stunning. The navy/black color combo is really classy, and the color blocking is super figure-flattering. . I'm tall, so the dress wasn't a perfect fit, but it would be great on a shorter person. Warning, the slit on this dress is super-high...like to my butt cheeks high! It was a bit tricky because of that.

Beautiful dress!
Pros: this dress is made of expensive fabric with a nice liner. I wore spans but could have gotten away without. The color is gorgeous, too. I was able to wear a strapless bra (but the back does dip low). I felt gorgeous in it. I'm 6' tall, so the long length was a positive, it hit me below the knee, but is probable mid-calf on a person of regular height. Cons: not much, the length might be an issue for some. There is a lot of room in the chest, too much for me and I'm a Large B cup. If you are a small B cup or A, I'm not sure this dress could work, as it would gape on the sides.

cute but small!
I should have looked more carefully at the dimensions. My iPhone 6 wouldn't fit into the purse, by such a small margin that it was frustrating. If I had a bit smaller phone, this would have been a great purse, as there was also room for a lipstick, credit card and a small set of keys.

This necklace looks as pictured. I will warn, the gold color is VERY yellow, so it may not match other gold items you have. I chose simple hoops so that the mis-match was not as obvious.

Did not care for this jacket
This jacket fits strangely. I normally wear a size L in jackets, but this size L was gigantic in the shoulders and body...I probably could have hidden a small child inside it with me, all zipped up. The jacket has two large breast pockets that obscured any hint of my female-ness. The band on the bottom, which was so low it wrapped around my butt, just barely fastened (and my butt is not really that large). The overall impression was that I was wearing a gigantic black sack.

This dress was gorgeous AND comfortable!
This dress runs very true to size, I wouldn't suggest sizing up unless you typically underestimate your actual dress size. I ordered the long length because I am 6' tall, I wore 2.5" heels and the dress was the perfect length. The slit up the side is genius, its sexy and makes walking and dancing easy. The color is great, a copper color with sparkle (but not in a sequin sparkle kind of way). I loved this dress and would wear it again.

I felt like a million bucks!
The dress was amazing! The fabric was heavy and stretchy, it felt expensive. It fit great - I wore spanx and pasties and it worked great (you can't wear a regular bra due to the cutouts at the arms). Speaking of those cutouts, I was worried that they would look terrible and that the placement would highlight that little bulge that some of us (who, me?) have at our armpit. Not the case at all, and that cutout is actually really flattering! I do think that the dress ran just the tiniest bit big (or maybe just more true-to-size than most formal dresses which seem to run small!). I could have worn the size 10, but it would have been super tight. I would suggest going against the grain and ordering your second size as a size down for this one.

Pretty dress, no belt
This dress was lovely and fit nicely. It is low cut, but not obscene. It had belt loops but no belt, and it had a strange strap hanging down the back that looked like it was supposed to connect to a belt, but I'm not sure. It worked without the belt, so that's how I wore it. As far as fit is concerned, I run between a L and XL. I chose the XL for this dress because the fabric is a bit clingy and even with spanx I didn't like the look of the L.

Beautiful, eye-catching clutch
This little clutch was a great accessory. The color is stunning in person. Don't expect to get much inside; my phone and credit card fit fine, but I had to pick a lipstick with a trim case as my usual one was just a bit too big to shut inside!

This backup dress didn't make the cut, unfortunately
I got this dress as a backup, and didn't wear it. It looked gorgeous on the hanger: it's a beautiful color, the fabric is expensive feeling and the neckline and hemline are really cool. Unfortunately, when I put it on it was a big "no." In my opinion, it runs big. I'm between a size 12/14 in everyday clothes, so I almost always wear a 14 for RTR dresses. This size 14 was waaay to big and hung like a big sack on me. Also, there is a diagonal seam across the tummy and waist area that completely obscured one of the better areas of my hourglass frame. I wonder if the dress might look great on an apple or pear shape? The dress really has potential, just wasn't a good fit on me.

Great fit and a flattering pattern
This dress worked out really well. The fabric isn't flimsy but also isn't overly weighty. It has just a bit of stretch to it, but not so much you can squeeze into a smaller size than usual. The bust area isn't very forgiving...I'm a 38 B/C and it fit just right, but I think it might have looked silly on an A cup and might have been impossible for anything bigger than a C.

A funky, fun accessory
This is called a clutch, but it is exactly the right size to be a sleeve for my iPad, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was originally sold to be an iPad sleeve. That being said, it made a really cute clutch for an evening out; it looked great with my LBD. It is pretty flat, so you shouldn't expect to be able to fit much that is bulky inside.
