Nicer than expected
The reviews almost had me running. Take note: the collar unzips and it unzips more than it looks like! Yes, this is no sweatshirt. The right arm has an open back. It was a really cool, comfortable, yet professional, top. I got lots of compliments and am glad I rented it :)!

Better than expected! Ended up buying :)
It's not really the season for this (fall/winter when I tried it) but I coupled it with a couple other things to make it work. I am super into this look! No bra needed though it may be a tad crushing if you have larger breasts. I would like to try a size up (S) though the XS worked just fine!

SUPER comfy
I LOVED this. If it were less expensive, I'd buy it. I wore this with RTR's Aspro Denim Crossbody Romper (XS) which has an open back, allowing me to feel the super soft-ness even more. I wore this every day while I had it. I highly recommend it!

Family favorite
I wore this during the holidays and got many compliments and people asking me where I got it. The tie came loose somewhat easily but it was otherwise comfortable and flattering without being over the top. It's a very versatile piece and is amenable to being dressed up further.

Way too short- big disappointment
I normally take an xs or s from RTR. I ordered a M. It was tight and extremely short. If I lifted my arms up- it would essentially just cover my boobs. If I then lower my arms, it would be stuck there. I doubt even a large would be good for this because the width isn't the issue. Unless you are 4 ft tall, don't rent this. This was a *huge* disappointment

Good professional pant
This size fit me just fine; it was puffy around the butt/waist but I didn't find it to be a problem. It's a 'look'; it isn't noticeable at all if you have a long shirt that is left untucked. The zipper up the side seemed odd but in no way problematic. I probably wouldn't rent again but I did wear it 2-3 times so its got some replay value ;).

Very comfy and suave
This is a great biking and hiking coat! I hiked it it and it was *perfect*. It is somewhat exposed in the front/belly area (maybe size up if this could bother you), which isn't an issue if you have a sweater on or are engaged in some kind of exercise. The coat looks cool on top of it all and has a super comfy/cozy hood!

Another one of those rentals I would just buy if it weren't out of my budget. This was *so comfy* I didn't stop wearing it until it came time to have to return it. I pretty much held up the rest of my order because of this.

LOVE THIS SHIRT.
This shirt is incredible. I'd buy it if it weren't far away from my budget. It's very high quality, comfortable, professional but with enough flair that it doesn't sail below the radar. It did sequester underarm sweat a bit more than I'd have liked but nothing that you'd have to be worried about for a day's use. I may be renting this again for my dissertation defense

Awesome, but a bit tight in the crotch
This is really cool and I think I might try renting again in a larger size. Everything about it was great except for how snug it was in the crotch area which prevented me from wearing it out (no visual concerns, but comfort). I didn't try this without some tights and I'd go the tights route again if I get a chance to rent it again! Worth a try!

Comfy, not stretchy
I got the XS which was too small for me, realistically. I still wore it once but I might give the Small a go next time! It did have some space at the top despite the rest being quite tight on me so hopefully that is not problematic at larger sizes. It's worth the rental and I may be giving it another go!

Very baggy/awkward; might be good for maternity?
This balloons out. A lot. I am not pregnant, but I probably could have fooled somebody. This might be good for somebody much larger or with more dramatic proportions. I got the Small, but I wouldn't even try an XS based on how this 'fit'.

Neat but couldn't style it right
I tend to love this kind of thing and would often put it over a tight tank. The material is quite thick. It really hangs oddly and awkward if left unzipped. I didn't tend up wearing it out because I couldn't find anything that looked right with it. :( Could be a good choice with some planning ahead.

Strangely wide; might be good for maternity?
I'm not sure if the band was supposed to be elastic (it wasn't). It made me look disproportionately middle-heavy. The material would be nice for summer but I didn't end up wearing it because of how terrible I looked in it. If you normally carry a lot of weight in the mid-section, this dress may work well. It didn't work for me.

Airy and nice for summer!
This is supposed to be big-ish but it isn't unflatteringly so! It was super comfy and airy enough for hot days (it being white also gives it an advantage on those sunny days!). I wore this with leggings multiple times and if it were feasible, I'd buy it! Great casual day-wear. I highly recommend giving it a go!

Channel your inner floridian
Broad fit. I felt like I was on vacation in the south or at least from the south, particularly a southern location on the coast. It's got a real 50-60s (late-mid age) vacationer vibe. Comfortable but not dramatically so. The price tag seems to represent the fact that it is from Italy more than anything else (?).

This was far more comfortable than I expected. It was easier to dress up or down than you might think; I wish I got a picture. Stellar pattern; the inside is a blue, like that featured on the outside. Beautiful piece.

Unassuming, Super-comfy
This was incredibly comfortable and soft. Surprisingly so. It's appealing but subtle. I didn't get any compliments, but I didn't need any; I wanted to wear this every day. The fabric that hung down didn't get in the way and it is well-made such that you won't have to worry about any aspect of this coming undone or getting caught.

Awesomeee! Would have worn it more if I could.
I thought this would be baggy but static cling, man. It looked really good and didn't end up being baggy at all. Works great with practically many single color (earth color, black or white) bottoms. I highly recommend!

Everyone loves the shiny! (But tight in the arm)
This was really pretty/shiny and went well with my dark also-shiny cape. It was *extremely* easy for the sequin netting to get tangled in things (hair, other sequin strings) and the one arm was very tight. I don't have huge arms; it really seemed unreasonably tight. You might want to size up specifically because of that.

I rented this for everyday and work. Scratchy-ness wasn't problematic with an undershirt. Warm!
I was worried at first due to reviews calling this scratchy but I was surprised to find that I didn't take much issue with it. I did wear a tank top underneath and I think that is key. It's attractive, warm, and comfy but size down. I am normally an 's' but am glad I got the 'xs' for this one.

This dress is very appealing and works for lots of different events or work. Note, the sleeve holes are a bit tight. I only wore this once due to how uncomfortable my underarms were. Otherwise, dimensions worked well!

This dress is mostly pros! The fabric is high quality and comfortable. The design is appealing but not over bearing. Keep in mind this is not a 'body con' style; there was definitely some unnecessary room left in the abdominal area for me. I'd rent this again. :)

I'm a huge fan of capes and this one is both comfortable and appealing.
This definitely runs large so size way down. The arms go through slits that have access to both the outside and convenient good-sized pockets. That said, I hope you aren't planning on wearing a backpack; it's not feasible to have anything over your shoulders with this cape. It's actually even a little difficult to have your arms up on the wheel to drive a car. It's flattering but restrictive, so best if you aren't physically in contact with much in the way responsibilities.

I love the idea of this but style makes my butt look huge and it is way too roomy.
It looks neat from the front but pretty awful from the back. I didn't end up wearing it for longer and 15min so I don't have any photos. It really just couldn't work with any tops that I could find. It make my bottom look many times larger than it actually is. This also runs large and, aware of that, I'd sized down.

This fit the bill for a bright and novel insertion into my wardrobe.
As the other reviews describe, the fabric is pretty sheer but this can be perfectly fine if you have a top with a bit of a tail as I did. It's comfortable and high-waisted. It's also positively distinct but the bottoms are cropped a bit high up such that it isn't particularly comfortable and would look odd with normal shoes. I wore it once and liked it but it requires a lot of finagling with other elements (both top and bottom) that it's more work to pull off than I'd have liked.

This shirt is very odd and I tried wearing it the 'right' way; it worked better the 'wrong' way.
This shirt is awkward all over. It actually looked better, imo, backwards and so that's how I wore it. This could have been a great idea if it had only been engineered more intelligently. The band didn't sit properly and left a gap near the buttons. I wouldn't rent this again but I made due with it for one night.
