Perfect casual statement coat
I normally wear an XL (FR42-44) and snagged this is a FR40 because it was too good to pass up. So glad I did because it works perfectly. It has a more fitted feel on me but I think if you went TTS it would be oversized. I get a ton of compliments and love that it's casual with a little flair. Will likely be holding onto this for a while.

Great blazer but size down
I rented both the blazer and pants but ended up just wearing the blazer a few times. It was fun to dress up or down, and I definitely got good use of it! The fabric is really thick and more "rustic" than the pictures suggest. It runs large, especially compared to the pants, which run super small. I've noticed that fit on a bunch of MH things are like that - very large on top, very small in hips, which has helped to keep in mind when renting other pieces from her.

The fit is way off with these pants
I ordered 2 sizes up since I knew these would have no stretch and they were so tight I couldn't sit! The fit seems way off and the crotch is super low, even with the waist all the up. Love the more inclusive sizing but these feel like a miss. Conversely, the jacket (which I ordered TTS) was huge.

Never had a better fit!
If your feel you have a similar body type to me, RENT THIS BLAZER. I have truly never experienced a better and more comfortable fit. My coworkers asked if it was tailored! Got so many compliments and will definitely rent again

A good way to add oomph to an outfit
Simple open blazer silhouette with sleeves that are easy to roll up. Got tons of compliments and the print was a fun way to elevate my regular tshirt and jeans.

Loved it so much I finally bought it
I have been on a quest for the perfect leather jacket and am happy to say I've found it. I normally wouldn't have thought to try an XXL but RTR recommended the fit and I am so happy about it! It's roomy enough for a sweater under, and though I always wear it open, I could zip it if I really had to. Sorry I took an XXL out of rotation but I just had to make her mine.

Everyone will compliment you on this dress!
This piece is so unique and comfortable! I got compliments from everyone at the wedding AND I didn't feel sucked into some uncomfortable dress for once! It's definitely see through, so be prepared to wear something under, and the elastic at the chest didnt really stay in the perfect placement for me (I blame my bra for that though). Very glad I took a chance on such a bold choice!

A standout dress for anyone who doesn't shy from bold
While this dress may be a little much for some, I absolutely loved it. My only complaint was the arms were a bit short and tight in the wrists, so my dancing mobility was a little less than ideal. I wore pasties and had no worries about a slip.

With some strategic tucking, this dress is divine!
The other reviews are spot on - this dress has a weird amount of fabric around the waist area. But I rented anyway and am so glad I did! I belted it and easily hid all the excess (had a few adjustments through the night but not a big deal). I got tons of compliments and it's super fun to dance and twirl in. If you don't mind the extra effort, I highly recommend.

Too Casual for a Wedding
Very pretty dress but please note, as others said, it is large in the chest. I also think something about the print makes it a bit too casual for a wedding (IMHO)

A lot of fabric
This dress has a real boho vibe and is fun and flouncy. It's a LOT of fabric though and made me feel larger at the hips than I already am.

The closest I've come to being a tote person
This bag is way less structured than it looks, and the hardware is very chunky, but MAN does it hold everything you need. In fact, it holds so much it becomes ridiculously heavy. The style is on point and it's very durable. I love this bag, and I want to love it more, but ultimately I need a backpack for my long commute.

Heavy but WORTH IT
I rented these on a whim at a pop-up and I am SO HAPPY. I never would have picked them online but they are so cool. I've worn them to work, out to the bars, and will be wearing to a wedding next weekend. They dress up or down and are just unique enough without being loud. However, they are HEAVY. Definitely not for the faint of heart or weak of earlobes.

Good if you don't have hips
Absolutely no room for curves. Huge up top, narrow in the hips, color was not as bright as pictured. Just kind of boring overall.

Arms are insanely tight
I never have a fit problem with FP but this was all over the place. Weirdly the forearms were insanely tight and I didn't really get past that. The open back is VERY open.

Much redder than pictured
This was long shot for me fit-wise but I figured I'd try. Glad I did so I didn't have to wonder - but it's definitely NOT for me. Not the dress's fault, just not my size. The dress has no stretch (was hoping it would!) but is very nice sturdy crepe-like material. It is much redder than I thought it would be - I was thinking it would be more coral towards orange.

Very versatile!
Very fun dress with a loose fit. I belted it for a bit more structure, but beware - the handkerchief style bunches up a lot of fabric in the back. I think it would have been extremely revealing without a teeshirt under.

So comfortable and easy to dress up or down
Super soft material and easy to wear. I was shocked that the S fit me, but I dig Universal Standard's size scale and love that RTR knee what to recommend. I wish I had taken a picture! Will def rent again.

A standout piece of you want to get noticed!
This dress is a lot of fabric, but is extremely comfortable and versatile. It's a little see through but I had no problems wearing it to work. I paired with black studded boots (and pink hair) and loved the compliments and looks of surprise when they realized there were preppy horses on it!

A very chic western bowling shirt
This shirt had way more western / bowling shirt details than I was expecting, but it was absolutely beautiful and extremely flattering. It has slots at the hip so it falls nicely without pulling, and you can choose to keep the bottom buttons open and tie it like the model pic (just a note that it isn't one of those shirts made for that though). Only downside is the amazing silk wrinkles immediately.

Stick out among all the other moto jackets!
Very unique and amazing quality jacket. I couldn't even come close to zipping it, but that's pretty normal for me with this style. The only issue I had was the belt was really heavy and is connected across the back so it drooped and twisted in the loops in front. Great statement piece, though!

A bit itchy
This sweater was cute and light enough for a 70degree day, but MAN was it itchy when I first put it on. I never have issues with itchy fabrics, but this one really bothered me. Surprising considering the high price tag. The sweater is also very short all around and a bit balloon-like at the hem - I was expecting more of a high-low style.

A crop top anyone can rock!
This was super cute and very flattering. I have narrow shoulders so the XL was slightly big in the shoulders, but overall it was a great fit. The waist tie is adjustable so you can tighten it to keep it put, or loosen it if you had a bit too much to eat ;)

This dress changed me into a dress person
I can not describe how much I love this dress. From the helpful pull on the zipper so you can zip it yourself to the pockets to the cute but edgy style, this is BY FAR my favorite rental ever. I will definitely rent it again and hopefully even buy it! FYI I wore with no bra and felt very held in, but if you have a larger chest and/or need a bra, you may run into issues with the edges of your bra showing in the corners of the square cut top. Definitely would recommend a strapless bra if needed.

So comfortable I kept checking to make sure I was still wearing them!
These are by far the softest jeans I've ever come across. I had trouble getting over how casual they are (I felt like a kid in them at first) so paired them with heels and they dressed right up! This was my first time wearing Universal Standard so I wasn't sure what to expect with sizing. These had a lot of fabric across the stomach area - I will definitely size down next time.

Really wish this came in XL
Good quality skirt in a flowy fabric. Unfortunately, the large didn't quite fit. I knew it would be a long shot, but the print was so fun I had to try. Ultimately, it was just a tad too tight to wear without worrying us pop a button. If you are a true 12 or on the straighter side hip-wise, the L would definitely fit.

Was shorter and tighter than I wanted
The fit on this just wasn't for me. I wish it had been a little longer, but the stiff fabric made it have to sit pretty high on my waist to work with my hips. Fit more like a L than an XL to me but maybe the XXL would be better if you have big hips.

I will rent this again and again
This is my favorite thing I've ever rented! I wore it dressed up with heels to a (very hip) party and I wore it with sneakers and a hat to a day in the park. It is comfortable, sexy, and extremely versatile. I personally wish the waist could cinch in to give a bit more shape, but overall, this was perfect. Will definitely rent or maybe even buy next time.

Not for bigger hips
These are really great quality pants but unfortunately, they didn't work on my curvy hips. They are pull on with elastic waist by no give in the fabric, so had to wriggle them over my butt but ultimately wouldn't have been able to wear them in public. Definitely recommend for someone with a straighter body type though!

Fun and comfy but lots of fabric!
I'm not a big skirt wearer, but this was comfortable and easy to pair with a tee and leather jacket. I liked dressing it down since it has some edgy details, but I recommend balancing it with a more form fitting top as it's a lot of fabric! I will probably size down next time so it's a little shorter and more flattering. Wore it to a rehearsal dinner and to work and got tons of compliments both times!

Perfect for a woodsy wedding!
The style and fabric of this dress were perfect for a rainy wedding in Big Sur. And it has pockets so I could store all my MOH supplies for the bride! I do feel it ran a bit smaller than I would expect but luckily I sized up just in case. The inner lining is tighter than the outer, and the zipper is tough on the waist seam. I had to pin the straps because they were way too long, but once that was set it was easy to wear and feel secure without a bra.

Very conservative
This dress was a very cute style, but I felt a bit too covered up in it. The smocking gives it a really casual style, but the high neck makes it seem like it would be better for a more dressed up occasion, so I couldn't really figure out when to wear it. Ultimately, it was a little too big on me (the fabric doesn't do much to give you a shape), and had a bit of a conservative vibe. Definitely cute for someone else, just not my style.

SO SMALL
This dress barely wrapped around me it was so small! You'd think there would be plenty of fabric in a wrap dress, but when I pulled it shut it barely closed at my chest and opened at the top of my thighs. I usually wear a 14, so was definitely expecting an XXL to fit. This dress fits like a junior size. The color, style, and fabric were amazing though - I REALLY wish it had worked!

Shorter than pictured
This was very short and the ties are not as substantial as they look. The sleeve are very poofy, and the whole thing gives off a boxy look. In order to cinch in it enough to help with the shape, you have to tie it pretty tight, which makes the shirt event shorter. It was wearable but not what I expected.

Cute but not as cute as I wanted
I was expecting to LOVE this (like drop $600 love it). Size is good - easily fit my wallet, phone, sunglasses, keys, and like 3 lip glosses. But the studs are actually white (thought they were silver), and the strap is very orange as opposed to a more subdued tan and a little too short. Overall, it was just trying to do too much at once. The magnetic closure is nice and the camo is very cool though!
