Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Not super flattering
I found the width of the shoulders very large and it made me look like a linebacker. Needs to be styled thoughtfully. Even though I rented in spring, I ended up wearing long black sleeves under underneath like others pictured.

Frumpy chic
Thick, warm and well made but not very complementary or special. Could be better styled than I did with leggings and sneakers...

Weird fit through shoulders and arms
Wanted to love and usually have luck with this designer but it's like the shoulders were too big yet the arms and chest too tight. Was constantly fidgeting with it and generally unhappy. Maybe sizing up would've helped.

Beautiful details
No brainer rental. The neck was oddly a little tighter than I’d expected but not uncomfortable, just noticeably felt. Loved the marble brown buttons with thin gold trim at the shoulder. Gold trim very elegant!

Gorgeous print, Spanx would've helped
I got a ton of compliments on this skirt. It's so well made and elevates any outfit. Great weight for spring. I found the waistband to be quite tight for a M - so much so that I couldn't tuck anything into it for fear of exposing the muffin top it created. That said, if you have a small waist and/or can pair with spanx and/or a looser cropped top, this skirt is for you. I wore it 3x paired with a cropped grey cardigan and sneakers - was sad to return.

Lovely silhouette, pin the chest
Great print and fabric. Had to employ a safety pin at the chest to prevent gapping as others suggest and spanx for a more flattering fit through the waist. Paired with white stiletto booties and pink wool coat for transitional spring dinner outside where nights are in the 50s. Was totally comfortable for a girls dinner.

Super fun necklace that is great alone or layered. Bright gold color. Loved the ease of the magnet clasp. Would rent again for a statement!

Easy and cozy for WFH, errands
Well-made, not itchy and generally cozy. Long cardigans pair best with leggings or skinny jeans IMO, but I tried them with straight-leg jeans and felt a tad frumpy. Oh well, it was all about the waist up for work anyhow.

Lovely and super versatile
Pleasantly surprised at how lovely this blazer fit and the color. Perfect for conference calls and professionalism from the waist up! I was a little worried the 4 would be tight across the shoulders but I had plenty of movement. Ended up pairing with denim, white tee and nude pumps for a casual Easter too. Will be sad to return.

A flattering wide leg dream!
Received a ton of compliments on these slacks. Paired with a plain black turtleneck and booties and felt chic. The buttons are a dark grey/black so the pairing worked. Like others said, the pant length is long. I needed a 3"+ heel to help with the proportions and not drag the cuff. The side zipper gets stuck on the interior tag so be careful when zipping/unzipping. Otherwise, these slacks were perfect and I'd rent them again!

A perfectly sweet little cropped ditty
Gorgeous blush color with lovely detail along the shoulders. Well made and warm. It's cropped and a bit bat-winged, so not the greatest for layering. Material's surprisingly soft - not itchy! Overall loved and got a few solid wears before reluctantly returning.

Might be a keeper
Lovely cropped blouse for summer. Definitely cropped so high waisted bottoms were a must for me. A boxy cut that falls beautifully and is well made. The polka dots are black and the details are interesting. Material is lightweight and a little sheer so a nude bra is a must.

Sadly I couldn't wear as both the arms and shoulders were comically big. Nice, lightweight fabric with good structure. Oh well!

Looked like PJs and felt cheap
I suppose I could have tried harder to make these work, but the just felt really poorly made and were more sheer through the leg than I was comfortable wearing to work. Definitely not the most forgiving fit through the waist (low-mid) and the zipper fabric wouldn't lay flat even though they weren't at all tight on me.

Easy, warm-weather dress
I wore this for a business meeting in Florida. In 95 degrees and 95% humidity, I needed something conservative yet breathable. This dress fit the bill! Well made and very easy to wear. The wrap style was great for avoiding unprofessional cleavage. I would definitely recommend a nude bra and panties, and possibly a slip if you're really worried about leg exposure. The platform espadrilles helped my frame not be overpowered by the tea-length skirt. Picture taken after a full day so note linen does wrinkle but nothing I was surprised about.

Nothing special
I was disappointed that these pants didn't work out for me. The color was pretty and bright, but the material was heavy and stiff. This made them less than flattering and I couldn't successfully accessorize or pair them with a top/pumps to feel put together. The length was longer than I expected in that they weren't cropped, but definitely covered my ankles. Just not a good fit for me. Oh well!

Easy work piece.
Can be worn with slacks, skirts or denim. Best tucked in, in my opinion. Nice print. I found the turtleneck detail flattering, but also it got a little loose. Good lining so a cami isn't necessary. I'm usually a 4, but rented the 2 due to availability and it was slightly tight at the shoulders but more than manageable.

I tried to like these but the truth is they are too #momjeans for me.
Ladies, I tried. I really tried to embrace this style. But they were just not flattering on my figure. Or maybe for someone my age (30s). Good fit at the waist, but baggy everywhere else. I could see how they'd be tight in the thighs but I have bird legs so it wasn't bad. Overall I felt like a "mom jeans from the 90s" meme and returned them the next day. On the positive, they are well made and the medium color denim would match with SO much.

Great fall color and a fun take on a blouse
This color is not for everyone and I was definitely intimidated! I Paired with charcoal denim skinny jeans and black boots to offset the back length and boxy nature of the blouse. Finished with rented Tory Burch tortoise earrings and a faux leather moto jacket. Ended up being a awesome look. 4 stars because it shows underarm sweat so beware if you pair with a jacket and have the slightest bit of perspiration!

Spicing up the cubicles!
Really well made and fun to wear. Paired with a black t-shirt, jeans and black suede pumps for a work look that felt really comfortable and chic! The fabric has the tiniest bit of metallic sheen to it that I didn't expect, but it gave the price a wonderful texture. Would rent again and seems like it would travel well as it didn't wrinkle at all!

Perfect pony-tail earrings!
Wore my hair back and they really pulled my casual work outfit together! They're clip-ons and light weight, and were in great condition. I wore them to work and out to dinner, but after 12 hours my ear lobes were sore. Wouldn't change a thing though!

Check your sizing!!
RTR mis-categorized the sizing on these gorgeous trousers!! US sizing is 0 (0-2), 1 (4-6), 2 (6-8), 3 (8-10). I'm a true 4 and swimming in a size 2 which was suggested by RTR. Anyhow, with the correct sizing I'm confident these lovely trousers would be flattering and comfortable! Unfortunately, didn't get to wear them.

Fun work pants, just wish they weren't so tight
Rented these for work and they were a nice alternative to black or grey crop trousers and I enjoyed the button/waist details. I agree with the others that the fit is tight through the thighs and waist. Also the amount of buttons were kind of annoying and I had to be conscious that I was correctly buttoned up each time I went to the restroom.

Well made, but not flattering
I really wanted to love this top, but the truth was it just made me feel top heavy. It's a bit cropped and has a lot of fabric/frill at the sleeves to where I felt my arms and bust seemed disproportionately large. I think this top would be fantastic on small frames with smaller chests. I just kinda felt like I was wearing a kids blouse. Color and details were lovely. The material did wrinkle a little more than I like, but it was certainly well-made.

Stunning movement and fit
I rented this for a wedding rehearsal (bridesmaid) and it was seriously sooo lovely. Length was perfect with cowboy boots (flats) so this could be great with sandals. Light-enough weight for late summer and very comfortable. I recommend a plunging bra as the cleavage was nice but not too in your face. A cami or bandeau would work well for a bit more conservative wear. I recommend a slip for more formal occasions so your silhouette isn't too revealing. Color was vibrant and dress so well made. I was sad to send it back.

Gorgeous Fall Blazer
I wish I owned this amazing, jewel-toned corduroy blazer. Paired with grey denim, a white t-shirt and black suede pumps for work and felt effortlessly chic. The jacket was a tad wide in the shoulders but I'd rather that then too tight. Otherwise it was a nice medium weight, 3/4 length sleeves and perfect for fall. I will rent this again.

Loved this bag!
Beautiful and easy to wear, with plenty of space. Loved the attached zippered pocket for items I didn't want falling out of the bag. Kind of a midnight/navy blue color.

Great lines, easy to wear
Great top for this warm Fall weather. Definitely needed an undershirt and had to steam this before wearing as it wrinkles pretty easily. The sleeves and neckline don't really allow for you to wear anything over it, so not great for layering. Thankfully it's still warm and I was totally comfortable. Got a ton of compliments too.

Cute, but not cozy and tough to wear
Rented this piece through my Unlimited subscription while in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The shoulder line was super restrictive of movement and, even though I was pregnant, it sat weird at the shoulders and across my chest. The fold is really large and it felt disproportionate. The material was a bit stiff as well. It did give me room for my belly, which was a bonus!

Pretty and easy-to-wear
I loved the pop of burnt orange that lines the inside, so I opted to wear it unbuttoned with a tea-length, black pencil dress. That, and I'm 6 months pregnant. I sized up because reviews said it ran small, but the 6 was definitely a bit roomy even for pregnant me. A 4 would've been perfect. Really nicely made coat and definitely something I'd rent again!

Obsessed! Dressed up or down, this piece wins!
I rented this gorgeous necklace for a formal wedding though Unlimited and when it arrived I was in love! I ended up pairing with a simple navy silk blouse and white denim for work and got loads of compliments. I then paired it with a blue Kate Spade Lapis dress for the wedding and got more compliments! It's a gorgeous stained glass piece that really shines against a simple canvas. Not too heavy either. The gold is more worn/copper-toned with black accents so pair accessories accordingly. A standout piece that I'm having trouble letting go of...
