Felt put together w/ little effort
Liked to collegiate color vibes here (Go Rams!). Was a lil (just slightly) on the acrylic-y feel side, but not so much that it feels cheap or like a thing that you might accidentally drunk order off of a fast fashion insta ad. Cozy enough to comfort me when Ireland got knocked out of the Rugby World Cup.

Cute, bright, and easy to wear
Was warmer than I expected! But not sub-30s warm. Loved the vibrant color and fit was oversized w/o being bulky. Would rent again if summer would ever effing stop coming back in like she forgot her keys...oh wait, also forgot my water bottle...j/k also forgot my wallet...nvm going to stay for another 4 rounds.

The rare occasion jeans are too long.
Loved the fit of these (considered buying then having them hemmed), but a good 4 extra inches long on me. I'm 5'7" and some change + short torso. Usually my issue is accidental waders. *Might* have worked with heels, but it's been rainy AF. Didn't wear.

No on the SHOULDER PADs, fam.
Well, I did love this dress (color, fabric weight) but didn't end up wearing it. Look, I got nothing against some intentional 80s power shoulder volume -- but the pads were comically small IMO. A bit like wearing a swim suit with removable cups when the cups are too small -- they float, suspended as lumpy protrusions. It's giving "did she forget to take the dryer sheet(ssssss) outta her clothes?"

Really nice, but fit was too snug for me.
I think this was *okay* with shapewear, but I just wasn't feeling it for this rental. Somehow the lines accentuated the snug fit -- which I imagine would be hella sexy on a curvier person. Wasn't feeling it for me right now, tho.

Fun (if a lil itchy)
This gave me happy 90s GAP vibes. Loved the colors. FIt was nice. Not too oversized, not too snug. Fabric felt a little itchy, but glad I threw it in my bag last min during a COLD weekend in LA.

Just add cool girl.
Loved these jeans. Would have purchased them, but the 32 was a titch too large on me. The over-sized fit felt cute for casual wear -- got lots of compliments. Would 100% rent again (if they're ever available again!) Great way to try this beloved style of 501s before buying.

Your partner's henley, but make it boho.
Mmmmk. Not sure how to feel here. I liked this -- and had planned to wear it to a casual rehearsal dinner situation in the PNW, but it felt TOO casual. Which might say more about me than the garment. Might try it again for a different occasion when the weather's cooler. Middle was quite fitted on me with a flow-y, quasi-high-low situation happening at the hemline.

Felt hot. (Literally & figuratively.)
I loved this dress, and will rent again when/if it's ever colder out. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately for the happy couple) the PNW weather stayed WARM for a casual October wedding. I opted for a closet standby, instead. The shoulders were a bit snug, but overall I liked the fit (with shape-wear). The thickness and pattern are flattering. Color is beautiful.

A lot of "give" in the mid-section.
The color looked WAY better in person. Loved the subtlety. That said, I didn't end up going with this dress -- the middle was awkwardly large on me. (Which...as an apple-y/hourglass-y shaped human, that was a new experience.) The extra fabric just looked a bit unflattering.

Cropped but comfy.
In between sizes, I should have sized down. Otherwise, fit as expected. I neglected to review the details on HOW cropped these were. I'm 5'7" and they hit weird on me. Still, I wore them to a casual family party, but didn't love them. The fabric was nice and very comfy/soft, though. Wore in the car for a long drive and didn't get uncomfy, at least.

Bright green happy little bag.
Loved adding a pop of color -- was a fun bag to transition from summer to early fall. Others mentioned it was small -- true! But I was able to fit my phone (old AF samsung w/ a case), small wallet, keys, and a lipstick just fine. I liked that the clasp felt secure.

Light and comfortable -- Didn't love the liner.
Lovely fabric, cute pattern, and nice drape. BUT this dress did have a liner that I didn't like. Scratchy & oddly placed. Folks who said "yay, liner, I don't need a bra" ... respect for your superior nipple stamina. That would have been an owie situation for my ta-ta toppers.

Rides lower but I didn't hate it
Maybe I should have sized down, but these rode a bit low. Still looked chic enough and felt comfy, though. So much so that I started to worry myself: "Is this me accepting that the mid/low rise comeback is okay?" Please no. I'm not ready. They did skew more casual than I was wanting.

Flattering & Comfortable in the Subtropic Fall
Liked this blouse a lot. The silk was nice but not too fussy. Perfect for those early "fall" 95 F days when I'm pretending that I'm ready to wear shirts with sleeves again. If you're the type of person who needs everything in the neckline/wrap tie to line up perfectly, skip this though. If you're looking for more flow-y, chaotic neutral vibes, though, add it.

Liked it, but didn't love it.
It was okay. I'm not even sure what I didn't like except that I felt "meh" in it. Which is perhaps more a me preference than a "this dress" problem. Got this as part of my RTR subscription and was hoping it'd be one of those "easy to throw on" cute dresses, but felt a little fussier than that because the fit didn't flatter me. Oh well! This dress was a good example of why I'm glad to be renting, not impulse-buying online.

Shoulder pads weren't for me.
Look, I love a good 80s moment. Here for some bold shoulder action -- but I wasn't totally expecting that from this dress. So, I didn't end up wearing it.

Lovely top -- Too small for my average ta-tas.
Great weight to this shirt - felt lovely. Silk/satin can often feel too thin/too wrinkle-y but this draped nicely. The colors looked great. Unfortunately didn't end up wearing because the shirt gaped at my chest. (And I've got pretty boring boobs.)

Too thick (both me & the dress)
Didn't end up wearing this -- the fit/pattern wasn't doing me any favors. Should have read more reviews/more about the fabric. Too thick for August in the subtropics.

Lovely fit, beautiful fabric
I loved this dress. Rented for a summer wedding. After reading the other reviews, I felt like I was rolling the dice on this dress. The fit was lovely, though the clasp at the bust was insufficient. I did use a small binder clip I found in my car (eek!) to feel more secure while dancing. Otherwise, one of my favorite dresses I've rented from RTR.

Spring casual blazer
I liked this blazer, but felt more slouchy/wrinkley than I would have liked. Still looked nice over a white silk cami with some jeans. I thought it'd dress up an outfit, but the fit leaned more casual. Wore to lunch with family, shopping, and to the airport.

Nice color and predictable fit.
Loved the color and the fit, but ended up opting for my other dress option for a semi-formal wedding. Also felt like too many "pundit-vibes" for the occasion. I was concerned the light blue would look too white in photos. Unlined, as others have mentioned. The fabric was a bit on the thinner-side, but I'd call that a positive for a summer event. Still draped like a thicker fabric.
