Most flattering top ever
The fit is perfect and so, so flattering! Material is beautiful and resists wrinkles so this is great for traveling. Perfect piece to wear to the office then out at night.

Absolutely beautiful. I rented this for vacation, I wanted to wear it as my beach cover up. But it was sooooo itchy I couldn't wear it. Bummer.

Flowy and pretty
This is gorgeous but I was sad that I had to wear a cami underneath. There is a tie, but the neckline is so low that even tying it completely shut still made me in danger of a wardrobe malfunction. If I bought this I would just add a stitch or two. Still a great rental I wore out to dinner on vacation.

Stunning! Very long though
I’m 5’7” and these were long on me. I wore my highest heels and they looked amazing. They are a bit of a wide leg but not too much. I was so impressed with these pants!

Pretty but size down
The embroidery is stunning on this dress. I ended up not wearing it because it was so big it did not flatter me at all. If you are hourglass shape or pear then the pockets will probably puff out.

Love the shrunken style
This is a shrunken style jacket, so the sleeves are 3/4 length and the overall length is shorter than an average jacket. I'm an apple shape and this is so flattering! Love it.

So flattering!
I wore this with black flare pants and again over a dress. Both times I felt like a million bucks. Very high quality. It has some extra details like the zippers that make it more interesting than your standard black blazer. It’s more of a shrunken style blazer, so be aware, but I found it to be incredibly flattering. Love and will rent again.

So flattering
I love this dress. It’s really flattering. I took a chance on this dress, it’s outside my comfort zone because it’s fairly fitted and I’m not confident about showing my midsection. But this dress magically hid what I wanted to hide and accentuated all the good things. I felt incredible and unstoppable. My husband was in awe. 👍 The quality is also amazing. One of my all time favorite rentals.

I liked this dress way more than I thought I would. Its super flattering and the material is really nice - it's a cotton but not a jersey, so it has some structure. I wore it with a black cardigan and felt great all day.

Great shirt - no need to pin or tape
I love shirts and dresses in this wrap or crossover style, but often they are too revealing or too low cut for work and I have to pin or tape. This top actually has a hook and eye closure which stayed shut for me all day. Way better than a flimsy snap closure. Overall a very flattering top that you can wear with jeans, a pencil skirt, anything. Super comfy too.

Great print! Toucans on pink
Very cute dress that's easy to wear. Just throw it on and you're done. I really loved the print, it has toucan birds all over, but not in a twee way, the print is playful but still professional for the office.

Great staple that's a little special
This is a great cardigan. At first glance its nothing special, just a neutral cardigan. But the somewhat cropped cut plus the puff shoulders make it a bit more special than the average cardigan. Also it's very well made/great quality. I wore this with a mixed metal statement necklace and black wide leg trousers and I felt great. Definitely a winner that I will rent again. I like this brand!

No wrinkles!
I was shocked when I pulled this out of the bag and there were zero wrinkles in the fabric! This would be great for a work trip - would look cool with a suit or with a pencil skirt for a more casual work look. I will probably wear it once to work and maybe again with jeans and boots on the weekend. Flattering and versatile.

This is really beautiful and well made. The material is a cool, woven texture that's unlike most fabrics I've seen. The cut is flattering and the colors in the pattern go with almost anything. Overall a very classy jacket that can be dressed up or down for almost any occasion. Definitely a winner. I've rented twice so far and will rent again.

All the compliments!
I got so many compliments on this jumpsuit! The bright color and the cut are both fantastic. It gave my body some shape (I'm an apple shape) and disguised my trouble area of my stomach. It's a bit low cut in the bust so I had to use some fashion tape. No biggie though. I wore it with gold jewelry and taupe sandals. It was a bit short in the legs for me, I'm about 5'7" so if you're taller, it will look cropped on you. Better for shorter people.

Beautiful but not for warm weather
I rented this for work. I didn't end up wearing it because I didn't realize that it's such a warm and thick fabric. I will rent again in the fall or winter. Not great for August, even in my air conditioned office. But it's a beautiful jacket. Great colors and flattering fit as it nips in at the waist. True to size for me, or a tiny bit big.

I've rented this dress twice so far and I will definitely rent again. It's a beautiful dress, the fabric is luxe, the cut is flattering and interesting. This dress makes me feel like a million bucks. Items like this dress are why I absolutely love Rent The Runway. I wouldn't buy this dress because it's too pricey for me to purchase, but I get to wear it whenever I want as a rental. Love, love, love!

Great colors!
This is a beautiful jacket. The colors and pattern are awesome, like all items from this brand. My only complaint is that the linen fabric is a bit floppy. I ironed the lapels flat but within a few hours they were wonky. Not a huge deal but it was more flattering when the lapels were laying flat.

I found this to be very flattering on my apple shape. I wore this in summer but its more of a colder weather fabric, so I may rent it again in the fall. The shape is great and it has a lot of stretch. Great work dress.

Great dress
I rented this for vacation and it's so pretty. Great cut, great fabric and color. Unfortunately it was too clingy on my midsection. I could have worn it with spanx but I just wasn't feeling like putting on spanx on vacation! Great dress though, maybe size up to get that loose, boho vibe.

Compliments!
Beautiful top. I got tons of compliments. I wore it to work with a pencil skirt then on the weekend with jeans, too. Thick, high quality material. Absolutely gorgeous. The color is unique- I rarely wear browns but this is a mix between a brown and a wine color that looked good on me. Overall an awesome rental.

My favorite Kate Spade dress
I've rented quite a few Kate Spade items from RTR, and this is definitely my favorite. It's really flattering and the print is beautiful. I love the smocking in the back. The high collar looked great with cute earrings and I wore my hair in a topknot. I've rented this twice, once in winter with black boots and again in spring with heels. Works for any season.

Great coat - a bit unusual
This is a gorgeous coat and it's a bit quirky. The color blocking, bracelet sleeve length, and lack of a closure make it interesting and high-end, in my opinion. I felt like a million bucks wearing this, and it went with so many things in my wardrobe. I felt it ran a bit large.

Beautifully made
I'd never rented anything from Halston before and I was just blown away with the high quality of this jacket. It's a beautiful color and fabric. My favorite thing was the little silver button piece - it's not a button, it's this bar-type of thing that goes into each button hole to keep the jacket closed. I've never seen anything like it. Absolutely cool and gorgeous. I was worried it would fall out of the jacket but it is basically somewhat attached to one of the button holes. In short - rent this and feel amazing. Runs large in my opinion but not large enough for me to size down. I will definitely rent again and look forward to more items from this designer.

Great coat for every day when it's not too cold
Great coat! I rented this because I was so tired of wearing my giant winter parka (I live in New England) but it was still too cold to wear a Spring coat. This fit the bill perfectly. It is super comfy and snuggly, I felt like I was wrapped up in a blanket. I wore this probably ten times before returning and am regretting sending it back! It's awesome.

Absolutely beautiful jacket. I wore this with a white dress shirt and black pants and I felt like a boss all day. Its wool and SUPER warm which wasn't great for my warm office so be aware of this. It was a tad snug on me although I've rented other jackets from this brand in the same size that fit well.

Perfect dress and perfect for St Patty's Day
I love this dress! I wanted something special to wear to work for St Patty's Day and this dress was perfect. I felt amazing and I got so many compliments. I'm normally a 14. The 14 wasn't available so I got the 16, which I thought would be fine because the dress looked a bit fitted up top. But the 16 was quite large on me, so I added a belt. My belt is black with a square gold buckle so it looked even more on theme for the holiday. The only negative is that the fabric does wrinkle a bit.
