Weirdly cut, made me look stumpy
1. Pockets in the front were off-center 2. I like a high waist, but this one was not flattering - somehow it made my hips look weirdly long and my legs short (usually a high waist lengthens the leg!) 3. Overall unflattering pants - they gave me what my college-aged daughter referred to as a "jeanis" - an extra "package" in the front courtesy of the jeans - and flattened my butt FWIW I'm short and curvy - small waist/bigger butt and thighs/shorter legs. If you're the opposite of me, perhaps they will work for you? Fit TTS

Cute jeans - longer than other 7's - run slightly big
I chose the size based on other similarly-cut seven jeans I own and I think I could have gone down a size. They do stretch and they also expand a bit after wearing them once or twice. Nevertheless, these are very cute! I run on the shorter side for jeans (I usually need petite length) and I do find that I have to wear my highest heels so as not to trip over the hems. Thankfully, because I'm short, I own a lot of heels. And they make your legs look looooong, which is a plus! Just be careful walking in your giant shoes and you'll be great!

Gorgeous jacket, great summertime weight, beautifully cut
I really like the way this jacket is tailored! It fits beautifully. The fabric is somewhere between jersey and not-jersey, but it works well for my office (we're on the "business" side of business casual - so blazers or cardigans and pants/dresses/jeans are normal). I wish it came in more colors, if I had a black one I'd probably wear it constantly.

Very cute! Wear a cami underneath!
I love the fact that this is a more tailored shirt - I have small shoulders and a bigger chest and can tend to look kind of square-shaped in regular button-up shirts. This one has a defined waist and it looks expensive. Just watch the top - the buttons start fairly low, so that (at least on me) I needed to wear a camisole underneath to keep things work-appropriate

Kept this for a while, petite size would have been perfect
Great jacket, well made and looks and feels high quality. Fabric is lovely. Easy to dress up or down. I really do wear a petite in jackets, so the sleeves/overall fit were a touch long, but it still looked great. I definitely contemplated buying it and having it altered. Might do that in a future order.

Solid jeans - watch the crotch!
Overall great jeans. Tight at first, but they do give a little after a wearing or two. There was a very tight seam in the crotch that never gave much and made it hard to sit in these jeans for too long. They were otherwise a great fit after the initial break-in, so I don't think the issue would have been resolved by sizing up. The fabric is definitely stiffer/thicker no-stretch denim. Super durable and holds its shape but didn't drape in quite the same way as another pair of the same jeans in a different wash. The other pair molded to my shape much more easily (and didn't have such an issue with that seam!), and the fit looked amazing after a couple of wears.

Beautiful skirt
This was a beautiful skirt and I'll probably rent it again. I ended up not wearing it due to 1. Lack of environmental cooperation (the weather was cooler than I thought it would be and my office was having an issue with the HVAC system that caused it to be freezing during this time) and 2. Lack of options in my own closet to match with it. RTR TEAM: it would be amazing if you had a few suggested styling/"pairs well with" options with the items! Some of us are fashion-challenged and could use the assistance!

Almost kept these, maybe I should?
When I first tried them on, they felt too tight, but they broke in quickly with a little kick, stretch, and KICK (a la Sally O'Malley). You've definitely got to be vigilant if you're trying to avoid camel toe. I would also avoid sitting for long periods until after you've worn them a couple of times (and not to worry, they'll shrink back to their original formation after washing so you can go through the process over and over again!). Love the thicker, no-stretch denim... it provides structure and the cut is GREAT for those of us with a small waist/round butt/"athletic" thighs. I liked them so much, I swapped these for the same jeans in a darker wash to check those out. I have pretty short legs and these are a little long but they worked for me. They're very lengthening with a heel or platform.

Gorgeous pants, size down!
These are really well-made pants, I loved the cut and the structure. Great for work and great with tights underneath in cold weather (high 30s Fahrenheit). They did run big on me - I'd probably size down next time.

So cute! Run LONG
These run much longer than other Seven jeans I've tried/owned. Usually I can get by with a platform sneaker, but I think it will take a full heel to make these fit so they don't drag on the ground (alas, I wasn't blessed in the long legs department). Love that these are a thicker denim that has some structure, and the front seams are very flattering. Side note: RTR, please offer more petite/short sizes!! And please allow the filter to search for petites!! I see a few options, but they are almost always out of stock. All of us stubby/short ladies thank you!

Beautiful jacket, runs large
I really wish RTR offered more items in petite sizes; this jacket is BEAUTIFUL, really well-made, and I considered keeping it, but it does run a bit large all the way around, especially in the shoulders and sleeves. I could try sizing down, but I think I'd still run into fit issues. Alas. The search continues...

These run smaller than other AGOLDE jeans I've worn
Jeans seem cute and well-made - thick denim with little or no stretch. They may be something like the old "boyfriend" cut we saw a lot of in the earlier 00s. I say "may" because I wasn't able to get this particular pair on all the way to be completely sure. Compared to a pair of AGOLDE jeans in a different cut but same size that I rented in my last shipment, these were much smaller. As in, the prior pair fit well and I wore them to work (I wouldn't wear them to work if they were tight); this pair wouldn't come all the way up to my waist, much less button. Alas, these will go back.

Really flattering
I was worried it would be too tight for work, but it was thick enough and cut well enough that it looked polished and seemed to do some wild magic that highlighted curves while minimizing lumpiness. Color was gorgeous too.

Maybe I got an older one?
The fill in the jacket was lumpy and seemed thinner in some areas. Ultimately, given that I'd rented it to visit a cold climate, I ended up leaving it home and bringing an old ski jacket instead.

Cute work dress, could have sized down
It does seem to be reversible, but there's a large tag in the back that would make reversing it look pretty awkward. The size I got was a little looser at the bottom and somehow the cut skewed matronly on me. This seems to happen with alarming frequency these days so might not be an issue for others!

Gorgeous coat, but HUGE - would look great on a tall person!
First, this is a BEAUTIFUL coat. The material is thick and luxurious and the cut and details of things like pockets/buttons/etc make it seem very expensive. If this would have fit me (or even been close enough that I could have gotten it altered), I would have probably bought it. That said, particularly tor petite girls, it's GIANT. I get that it's supposed to be oversized, but I'm afraid that, on me at least, it looked like I was a little kid wearing an adult's coat. On someone tall? This would look so chic. I'd love to see this in petite sizes!!!!

So comfortable, forgiving fabric, stretchy, warm... I could wear these all day. They're pretty much true to size; they might be slightly on the too-big side, but I'm also kind of between sizes. Great for work and for colder weather.

Stay puft marshmallow man! (But in a cute way)
It's definitely poofy but it's a lot of fun. Wore it to visit family in a colder climate for the holidays. Got a lot of compliments! One minor issue was that it was so poofy that I found it mildly challenging to navigate trekking through airports with duffel bags/purses over my shoulders. Like, I struggled to get the straps of the bags around all of that fabric in any way that didn't result in something falling off my shoulders. I'm sure I looked rather chaotic at times. But I have faith in your ability to tame the chaos. Stay puft, ladies.

Very small/tight. I'm usually a S and got the medium because I'd read other reviews. Even sizing up, I couldn't wear this top. Back it goes! Otherwise I loved the fabric and the print and wish this could have worked!

Not my favorite LRL dress
So I usually love these jersey dresses for work and such, but this one wasn't a winner for me. The good: fabric had good weight and the cut was flattering and forgiving through the waist. The bad: it's long in the back to the point that it looked a little dowdy on me (I would hem it if it was mine - this also may not be an issue for taller/leggier people). The ugly: there is a slit in the front between the neck and the chest that shows a little too much cleavage for the office - and it's not a sexy enough dress to be a "date dress", so it kind of hovers in an awkward dress limbo.

Gorgeous bag, looks expensive
Feels and looks very high quality, works well in a number of settings. For me personally, I seem to be in need of something a bit larger so I can schlep multiples pairs of glasses, some makeup, wallet/phone/keys....it did the job but I pushed its limits for sure. To be clear, this is a me problem and not a bag problem!

Very cute, well cut. VERY high waist though!
These were cute and looked expensive - loved the way they were cut. They work with curves, which I appreciate. The waist was VERY high though, which was fine for me but might not appeal to others. Also this could be due to my own fluctuations but it felt like they stretched out during the day - they were definitely bigger by end of day. Fit is TTS. Would be great for someone a little taller than me!

Cute but smaller than it looked
This was super cute but smaller than I thought it would be from the photo. It's not ridiculously teeny and would be great for any time you don't want to look like you're gearing up to lead intrepid travelers across an uncharted crevasse (so, you know, if you're a normal person who wants to go to dinner or some such thing). Alas, I'm a schlepper. You want a bandaid? Hand cream? Chargers for all of your electronic needs? Guidance across the Great Unknown? I'm here for you, friend. This purse, on the other hand, is here for your phone, a normal amount of keys, a small wallet/card holder, and, like, a lipstick. Your urban adventures and your chaos may need more infrastructure than this gorgeous, demure little thing can offer.

Pleasantly surprised - but the waist is VERY high
I love a high waist, and I don't hate this one, but I want to make sure you're all walking into this decision with your eyes wide open. I've also generally resisted the barrel leg trend - I have larger hips and thighs and didn't think they needed additional volume - but somehow these work to balance things out? You may need to be careful how you pair these. - at some angles, with some tops, these could look a little odd. In fact, when I asked my daughter (who is 19 and chooses clothing based on "joy and whimsy") whether these looked like clown pants, she sighed wistfully and said, "I want clown pants...." I might need a different opinion here. I'll wear them out a few times and report back.
