Not flattering
Honestly, this one is my fault. I don’t know why I thought pleats would work with my current body type. If you have curves or a mom pooch, don’t bother. It might have looked better if I sized way up but it’s not worth the spot to try it out. I was also not a fan of the one weird pocket flap in the back. My butt made it stick out at an angle. I‘d skip this one.

These will stretch!!
I promise these will get more comfortable during the day, I promise. I had ISSUES getting them zipped the first time (used a bobby pin in the zipper to have enough leverage to get them up 😂) but once I did I wore them a lot. Gorgeous fit, color, and style. Nice high waist too.

Couldn’t figure this one out
I wore this just once. I couldn’t figure out how to style it that made me feel confident. Just not for me. And it was a tad itchy. Wouldn’t rent again.

Loved this adorable dress! A little bit Little House on the Prairie but fun and the pattern and colors are easy to match with. The smocked is also very comfortable.

Effortless polish
Obsessed with this. Would have bought it if it was in my budget! I ordered a size up because I really wanted to rent it and it was actually a great fit. It made me feel professional, chic, and put together without a ton of effort. It was also warm and cozy. I wore it to film a video for work and felt very confident in it! It is cropped, but looks great with high waisted bottoms.

I wore this twice, once for a professional event and for Thanksgiving. Lovely print, fun neckline, very thin fabric which was good for variable climates but hard to layer with a sweater.

Do you have any butt at all? Don’t rent this.
I rented this because of other reviews that said it was forgiving so I thought renting a size larger than I usually do would be perfect! Nope. This was so unflattering on me, very tight around the belly and butt so it also bunched in the back. Only rent this if: you have no butt OR you have a butt but can rent 2 sizes bigger than your usual. The material is so fun I really wanted it to work!

It’s cotton!
I rented this for a work event but ended up also wearing it for a wedding because what I rented for that did NOT work out. I loved wearing it, very flattering and the pattern is so fun. It did need ironing and the fabric made it less formal than I was expecting. Glad I got to wear it twice!

Washed me out
The color on this was peachier than pictured and washed me out. There’s also not a lot of bust room and brought the waist up on me which wasn’t as flattering. But the pattern is adorable and it’s very cool for summer.

Don’t size down?
I saw recommendations to size down and while it fit it wasn’t as flowy as I wanted to be and did not feel comfortable wearing it. Also you can’t wear it with a bra and I did not want to bother. Great neckline though!

The fabric is heavy in a good way, and the hem is doubled or something so it has nice weight and structure to it. The shape is phenomenal I felt so good in this. Didn’t wear a bra but it wasn’t a problem. Great dress for a wedding

Easy breezy and gorgeous
I loved this so much I rented it like 4+ times before I bought it. It’s super easy to wear, very flattering, extremely comfortable, and I was able to nurse while wearing it. You do have to undo all the buttons to go to the bathroom but it’s a jumpsuit so a little bit of that is expected. I never regretted renting this and definitely don’t regret buying it!! Rent it!

Unique formal-ish wear
Ignore the socks! Wore this to a wedding and got a ton of compliments. It was unique and edgy but still formal enough for a wedding. It was long so I needed a quite high heel.

I rented this for my wedding anniversary and kept it as a potential wedding guest outfit. It was so good! Ruffles were perfect, pattern and colors were gorgeous. It is. Wrap so it has quite the slit and the length makes it feel very formal but it was a delight to wear. Rent it!

Eye catching and fun!
This top was a big hit! I wore it to give a three hour presentation and got lots of compliments. I felt confident, professional, and stylish! Definitely needs high waisted pants and it isn’t super warm because the arms are sheer but it was good for indoors.

Warm & Professional
This was a cute dress that i almost wore to give a training but because of how warm it was and the fact that it was unforgiving in the belly area i decided on something else. If I wasn’t going to be the center of attention for 3 hours I would have worn it for work!

Sweet summer dress
This is a very cute dress but I had to wear a strapless bra with it or a t-shirt under it. Very different color from the RTR picture. I liked it enough to rent it twice but it’s not in my all time RTR faves. But it’s cheap enough that I might buy it. It does have good pockets!

I only wore this once because of the temperature where I am but it is so thick and feels like a bathrobe. I also found the buttons tricky and it was hard to wear with a crossbody bag. Beautiful color though!

Great fit, poor construction
I looked great in this and I'm sure you will too but as other reviews mentioned these snaps bust open at the slightest movement. I ended up sewing hooks into the jumpsuit to make sure it stayed closed and even then the zipper would randomly bust open! I would say only rent this if you don't have curves or plan to stay completely still while wearing it.

Fun jumpsuit in a great color, very flattering for pear shapes! But it wrinkled really easily and retained deep wrinkles in the legs after one wear. But I got a lot of compliments and I would rent it again. The waist was slightly small but still fit!

Stunner for nursing mom’s night out
Do you want to look hot but also need easy access to the girls to pump before a night out? Do you want people to stop you to tell you how great you look? Definitely rent this! I wore this in Vegas and was stopped my multiple strangers to tell me I looked great. It was heavy and the sequins did chafe a little between my thighs but I felt great and was very easily able to pump before going out and I felt great. I sized down and it fit well. I didn’t get a picture in Vegas so ignore the socks. A fun rent, I recommend it!

More form fitting than expected
This looked so cute on the model and seemed perfect for cool spring weather. It was much tighter than I thought it was going to be, I did not order smaller than usual and it was really form fitting and Also I have a large butt and a short torso so it it bunched in the back and I kept having to pull it down. I wore it with a shirt and a thin sweater underneath, both were cute but I didn't wear it out, only to WFH.

Do you anything but super thin arms? Don't rent this.
I thought this would be a great shirt to jazz up my WFH and to rent for Valentine's Day. I ordered up just like I was told and it was STILL too small! Like uncomfortable and didn't lay correctly! I didn't wear it at all, what a bummer. I think the problem is that my arms aren't super thin and my shoulders are a little more broad. So if that's you too, don't rent this!

Couldn't cover my chest!
I ordered this because I thought it would be a fun zoom shirt. I ordered a 6 to size up (I'm usually a S in tops and M/L in bottoms, RTR, can you make that an option for size preferences?) and thought that would be enough. It was very not enough. The sleeves were TINY but I could get them on and that would have been fine but when I tried to close the top it wouldn't even cover half of my boobs. Not a cute look. Size up a whole ton if you want to consider wearing this.

So cute but LONGEST STRAPS EVER
I got this new with tags so feel compelled to contribute a review. (Forgot to take a picture, sorry!) Overall this was so cute. Great pattern, nice soft fabric, POCKETS! but the straps were ridiculous. I had to pin the straps an inch each to make it fit nicely. Weirdly everything else fit great (it was a but a bit long I'm short-ish and I love a midi dress). I do also have a super short torso so if you're lucky to have a long torso or maybe just an evenly proportioned body, this will probably look great on you!

Great early fall sweater
This piece was so cute! I wore it to work a few times on colder days. It was pretty warm and also drafty? But not itchy at all. So soft! The lace is not too flimsy, I felt fine wearing a tan bra. The sleeve shape really dresses up black pants and flats. It's a bit short, I had to wear it with high waisted pants. Also, I totally didn't notice this when I was checking it out but the lace has words in it! Interesting detail.

Beautiful bag, weird straps
The bag is gorgeous don't get me wrong. The color is lovely, the leather is really soft, and it has a lot of good inside pockets. But the straps are so weird! It's one long strap anchored on each side to the bottom and a loop at the top. This makes it annoying to put on. Like you have to take a second to balance it out then gracefully and carefully put it on your back. It takes effort. It was fun to use for a month but I wouldn't rent it again.

Casual elegance
This dress is smashing! Great fit with adjustable straps, fun floral pattern, great length, and very breezy. Perfect for our lawn party rehearsal dinner! I wore a strapless bra with it which I think was necessary due to the light material. I so would have bought it if it had a higher neckline. It was great for a party but too plunging for work. But I would highly recommend this dress!

Modest but unique dress
I rented this dress for a pre-wedding religious ceremony and it was practically perfect. It covered my shoulders, had a nice length, was well constructed and had great details like the high/low skirt and the beautiful color. I got lots of compliments. However, the tulle layer underneath doesn't 100% match up with the outer layer. This wouldn't be a problem if they weren't connected but they are so there was some slight puckering. The inside is also a bit itchy. But other than that I really enjoyed this rental! P.S. sorry for the odd picture! It was the one I had that was the clearest and had the best view of the dress!

Not for people with a butt
I was hoping this would be great but alas it wasn't for my shape. It was a struggle to get it on over my butt, the zipper doesn't go down far enough, and when I did get it on all the nice drapery on the front didn't sit the same on me because of my shape. Otherwise it the fit was good.
