perfect jumpsuit
This jumpsuit was a surprise! It is a lot more elegant than I originally envisioned—the fabric is a beautiful satin that has a slight shine to it. I am definitely a pear shape, with a bit of a tummy, and it fit well in the hip/thigh area with no awkward tightness. Really fun to wear during shelter-in-place. This would be a great piece to wear for summer brunch or picnics. I can even see this working for an evening summer event because of the satin fabric. Perfect piece all around.

pretty dress with long straps
I'm usually a size 6-8 depending on brands, and I chose a size Medium for this. This dress runs on the larger side, but I know if I got a size small it would have not worked out. Very pretty fabric, and the dress was very flowy. It's a good dress for pear-shaped ladies. The straps were too long for me and not adjustable so I sent it back. I wish this dress worked out for me!

Very cute little bag, love the purple color. Fit my phone, some small makeup, and small wallet just fine. Good size for date night. It was a bit on the heavier side for my taste.

good everyday purse
I've rented 3 other versions of this before. I love them all. This one is slightly different in that you cannot remove the strap to make it a clutch (the other ones have removable straps).

unique evening purse
This purse is very small, but it was perfect for an evening event. I wanted a clutch-type purse but with a handle for the wrist. I love the unique handle and the texture on the bag makes it more special. The inside is kind of like an accordion-fold folder, so you can only really fit in a bare minimum of stuff. It fit my phone, small wallet, and some makeup. The bag includes 2 types of straps but I didn't use them.

the reason why I use RTR
The color of this coat is incredible in a good way. This is oversized--I am normally between sizes 6-8 but I ordered the size 6 (UK size 10), and it is a bit big. I dont mind it, although one size smaller might fit better. It is also longer than I expected. I'm 5ft5 and it goes down to my knees. I'm not sure how it'd handle real winter weather, but for California December evenings it is perfect.

easy dress to wear
wow I love this dress more than I thought I would. The sleeves and the bodice fit perfectly and it made me feel slim. I have a smaller chest and I made the front part work--i just held it together with fashion tape. The dress is not lined but the fabric is a decent weight and not see-through. Good work to drinks dress!

I love these earrings. they are very cool, so different, and make a statement. They are indeed a bit on the heavier side but that didnt bother me, and they look great with hair let down. I'd purchase these if I could! On that note, I do actually wish that RTR had a model photo wearing these because despite listing the dimensions, they just look visually small on the website. I was actually [pleasantly] surprised with how big they are when I received them. (will update my review with a photo once the website is less buggy).

amazing print
Wow I love this dress. The print is super cool and interesting, and very unique. The MR size fit me perfectly, it made my waist look very small! the sleeves were also a perfect length and there is a button closure in the front that held together well. The skirt could be a tad shorter but it wont keep me from loving this dress. Perfect work to drinks dress. Stands out in a dark bar. Not good for hot weather though, would be perfect for fall/possibly winter depending on where you live.

nice easy dress
I have a bigger butt/thigh so I sized up to accommodate. It fit perfect! I really liked the look and it was fun to accessorize. The straps are adjustable. My chest isnt that big, but during dinner the snap kept popping open, so that was annoying. I should have just full-on safety pinned it together.

beautiful vibrant dress
This is a super fun dress. The colors are vibrant and exciting, and a color combo you don't normally see. It has a vintage feel and fit to it that I love. I rented this for a few tropical-themed events I had this month and it worked perfectly. In a sea of typical tropical/tiki dresses, this one stands out! It fit me perfectly--I'm between a size 6-8 and I rented an 8. Size 6 would hve been too tight.

pretty unlined dress
Pros: This dress has a gorgeous print--it looks a bit retro Hawaiian. Cons: it is unlined and the fabric is too lightweight. I wouldnt feel comfortable wearing this out in the daytime, but its a fun date night dress. Seeing the original retail price is shocking for this piece because its not even lined.

beautiful leather jacket
Really beautiful leather jacket. I really love the color and the weight of it. It'd be way too heavy for summer but I can see it being perfect for fall/winter. I'm normally around a size 38/40 and I chose a 40, and it was still very tight. I might go up to size 42 or even 44 next time. I ended up not wearing it because it was so tight. Definitely consider sizing up if you have bigger arms/broad shoulders.

super soft coat
I ordered my normal size 6and I think one size smaller would fit much better. The sleeves are a bit long (even though I have long arms!) and it hits me just a bit below my knees. I think if you want the oversized look, order your regular size. I'm going to rent it for a bit longer to see if I can make it work, because I really love this coat and will consider buying it (at a smaller size). The red color is true to the picture and very beautiful, soft fabric, and works well with a lot of my own pieces.

I actually really like this jacket. Its the perfect summer jacket for San Francisco: not cold-weather bulky, big pockets to keep your hands warm, zipper pockets for your public transit card, and cool metal details to not look basic. Its easy to layer other pieces underneath (if you size up), and it just looks cool. Into it!

This is a great blazer for SF weather--its lightweight yet warm and holds up to the bay breezes very well. but it also can get very hot. I loved the fabric of this blazer, and it went well with my outfits. Good pocket size AND it had the inner pockets too like men's jackets. Will rent again when it is a bit cooler.

nice fabric, weird fit
I like these loose blouse-y types of tops but this one fit very awkwardly on me. The waist part is tight, and the top part is loose, and the neck-hole is a bit small in comparison to everything else. I have broad shoulders so I'm not sure if that contributed to the awkward fit.

adorable jumpsuit
I really love this jumpsuit. It has made me rethink renting them and I will rent more! This one is very comfortable, has pockets, is a good length, and is made with a good breath-able fabric. I had the same issues with it as other reviewers--the straps are long and not more adjustable than the 2 buttons so I had to deal with the straps sliding off every so often, and the bust area is definitely meant for larger chest--I had to use the fashion tape to keep the top part down. This would work very well for a woman with a longer torso. Super cute though and fun for summer/spring!

well-made vintage style dress
This dress is perfect for working in: deep pockets that can fit your phone or other small things, comfortable yet structured dress, and easy to move around in. The shimmery gold fabric and the back made it feel more formal than it felt. The bodice is structured and has some boning in it, so I didnt have to wear a bra. It'd be perfect for a fall/winter event because the fabric is a bit heavier.

cute tropical print dress
I brought this to Hawaii hoping to wear it everyday, but because the material is polyester it wasn't good to wear in hot humid weather. I should have double checked the material before renting. I like the overall shape and pattern on the dress but it didn't wow me. It was also a bit short for my taste.

It is a very small bag and hte opening is very...open. Things can easily fall out of it if you aren't careful. Despite all that, I really liked this purse. I love how unique it looks and the color combination. I used it as an evening bag and it makes outfits a bit more artsy and interesting. It is definitely a different type of statement piece and I'm going to rent other purses from this designer!

cute resort dress
I brought this dress with me to Hawaii to wear on outings. The fabric is 100% not breathable at all, so it leaves you feeling a bit warm and uncomfortable. Despite that, I loved the fabric pattern, the lace, and color of the dress. I'm normally around size 6-8, but chose an 8 and it fit perfect. A 6 would have been way too tight for me. I think if you have a bit of a belly, definitely size up. It is a unique look for a tropical vacation!

comfortable elegant resort dress
I brought this dress to wear to Hawaii in the evenings. It was the perfect breezy, elegant, comfortable dress to wear to dinners and drinks at the resorts. It was easy to dress up or down as well. Note that there are 2 thigh-high slits in the front and back as it is not too obvious in the picture. It is really good for warm evenings. I wouldnt wear it in humid day time weather as the fabric is not breathable in the humidity.

really fun top for an otherwise boring all-black outfit. I think the way to make this work is with high-waisted pants, otherwise the shirt is a bit cropped. The zebra print wasn't too obvious.

pretty summer dress
I sized up thinking that the waist was not going to be stretchy, but it is! I rented a large when I'm usually a medium and I should have stuck with medium. This is a faux-wrap dress, and the cool thing about this particular one is that the skirt part is actually lined, so if its windy out, you don't have to worry! I loved the fabric pattern and the details. I can see this being a perfect beach/summer dress because the fabric is light and airy. Will rent again but in my correct size!

fun everyday earrings
I love these earrings. They are fun, well-made, and they go with literally every outfit. The hands have a surprising amount of detail, and its also cool how the pearls actually fit into the hand if the earrings are laying down. They can feel a bit heavy after wearing them all day but that didn't bother me. The earrings did not come with backings, and I can see these falling out if you don't wear them due to their weight (I have extra backings so it was okay).

comfortable pencil skirt
I'm always worried about pencil shape skirts because of my butt/thighs, but I sized up from my normal size 6 to an 8 and it fit well. Only issues with it was that it rode up a little if I walked for a long time, and I'd often have to make sure that it didnt shift around (so that the back slit comes to the front). It is lined, well made, and I liked the extra interior button detail at the zipper area. Pattern is easy to mix and match with. Would rent again!

fun pattern
Like everyone else said, the fabric is a bit weird. I think the best way to describe it is its a linen that is coated with something, and also there's a bit of metalic thread going through it. It was a tiny bit itchy on the collar. Overall, it fit very well and worked well for my event. Its lightweight and comfortable. There is stitching to make it look like there are pockets, but the pockets are non-functional.

comfortable stylish warm weather dress
This dress is drapey, airy, easy to wear, but not see-through or fussy. The color is a beautiful desaturated red and its easy to accessorize. I think it would be a perfect dress for hourglass/pear shaped ladies. It fits in all the right places and not super revealing, even in the wind. There is a little hidden button in the chest area that holds the 'wrap' together. I'm 5'5" and its the perfect midi length. Considering buying this dress!

amazing pattern
I love the pattern of this dress. Super colorful and true to the picture. It fit pretty true to size, but if you have a bit of a belly (like me), I'd size up 1 size, otherwise when you eat the buttons could have that pulling effect. The torso area is pretty fitted and not too much stretch. The sleeves have a bit of rouching so there is more give there. It was a bit too short for my taste, but its not going to stop me from renting it again 1 size up. The fabric is a nice weight and doesnt feel cheap. Its not lined but it doesnt need it.

cute spring dress
I rented this dress because I loved the retro look and the daisy lace. I wore it with blue flats which gave the outfit a bit more color. It is very true to size and had a good length. I was worried that my wider hips/thighs wouldnt fit in this dress but it fit perfectly. It looked like it was tailored to me! The dress has a soft fabric lining, but still a tiny bit see-through, so I wore nude undies.

pretty boho dress
I reallyyyyy like this dress, but the front part is heavy (since it is real embroidery), and therefore it makes the dress slide down. It was hard to wear any type of bra that wont show with it. It is a tiny bit see-through in the butt area but the rest is fine. I wish I could have worn it out but it was just too fussy for me (I tried to use fashion tape, safety pins, etc) to want to deal with it. Really sad because it is a super pretty dress. If I feel up for it I might size down one more size (I usually wear medium but ordered a small due to reviews).

I love this jacket. I brought it on vacation to Europe and although its not hte warmest thing, it paired well with everything and it just made all my outfits look more put together. I also love the little pocket in the front that can fit subway tickets and things that you need handy. I was able to layer a sweater underneath but it was a bit tight. if you want to layer I'd order 1 size up. Also because my hips are a bit wide, I wasnt able to really use the belt on teh jacket, and unfortunately you cannot remove it either.

I wore this to an opening night performance at the opera and it was perfect for the event. The lace is gorgeous in person and I received a lot of compliments. I wore it with black tights, black booties, and black sparkly tassel earrings. It runs small--I'm normally a 6 but ordered an 8. I think I could have gone up a size since the arms/shoulders area was tight.

I thought this would be more oversized but it was true to size for me. I have wider hips in comparison to my waist so it was a bit awkward-fitting when i zipped it up. All the other reviews are correct in that the buckles are super loud and it was annoying that the wrist ones often unbuckled. It is good for cool temps but not for anything around freezing.
