Classic but a standout!
This dress is PERFECT! I really considered buying it. A classic fit and shape that's super flattering, with a stand out color and hint of silver shimmer!

Blair Waldorf Vibes
I love this design, but the fit just wasn't great. It was big, I wore a medium. Maybe a small would have been better? Also the fabric is heavier, which takes away from the delicate design. And the black fuzz gets on the white parts of the sweater and makes it look dirty. I love the design of the sweater, it's just not perfect execution of it!

Cute for Fall!
I felt a bit like a scarecrow and the lapels are a little awkward, but overall cute shift dress for Fall. High quality and comes with a slit. Would be really short if you're tall. I'm 5'3 and it was perfect.

A solid fall staple
This jumper is great for layering in the fall. With that said it is a bit shapeless, so not the MOST flattering piece. The leather makes it a bit trendy, but it's cute! Fits true to size.

Fall Dress Favorite!
The print and colors are bright yet very fall. The dress stands out in a crowd and can be dressed up or dressed down. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner and to a baby shower. Very comfortable. True to size, but it was slightly snug on my chest. I'm a 36B, so if you're bustier, you may want to size up. Also it was borderline short on me and I'm 5'3, so tall gals beware.

Fun, Cozy & Versatile!
This jacket is wonderful! I almost kept it. It's very trendy, and can be a fun casual piece or it can be a dressy jacket. I wore it as both! It is wonderful quality - soft and warm! Runs true to size, but it you are very tall (5'10+) it may be short. It was a short jacket, above my waist, on me and I'm 5'3.

Sunshine Perfection
This dress did not look great on the hanger, but once I got it on, it was a stunner. I wore it to a wedding shower and considered keeping it. This dress is a heavy fabric and the structure makes it dressier than I thought. Probably too dressy and cumbersome to wear to work, but perfect for an event. I'm a B/C cup and the chest was a bit tight, if you are busty, I would go up a size. I'm 5'3 and the length would have been okay with flats, but much better with wedges.

Delicate and still average
This fabric is super delicate and high quality, but it doesn't make up for the shirt being meh. It requires a tank underneath, which detracts from the great fabric. The fit is boxy, so you have to tuck it if you want shape. But, it's also short, so it doesn't stay tucked in.

Hello Sunshine
I work this dress at a work conference, and it was perfect for travel, and all day wear. It is a heavier fabric, but in Florida heat it still wasn't hot. It didn't wrinkle, and was incredibly flattering. The color is sunshine in a dress! So many women asked me where I got it! Would rent again!

Maxi Perfection
This dress is wonderful! I wore this to a resort casual work event, and it could easily span from casual to cocktail. I'm 5'4 and was able to wear this with flats, which is also a huge plus! The wrap is a faux wrap so no falling apart midway through the night. The fabric is silky and stunning. It looks expensive and was forgiving, as well as cool and comfortable in Florida heat. I wish I could buy this...I may just have to rent again!

Cute enough!
I originally rented for 4th of July, but didn't end up wearing so I wore it to work. The fabric is much thinner than what I usually expect from Kate Spade. The quality just didn't feel as good as usual, but it was comfortable and cute enough.

Perfect for casual romping
This romper is cute and casual. Not the most flattering, but not bad either. It's very comfortable and perfect for casual wear. I'm 5'3 / 132lbs and the medium was a bit large in the waist. I probably could have done the small, but having it nice and loose made it extra comfy. The tie in the front is not a drawstring, I thought that could help cinch the waist, but no, it's decorative.

Fun and easy to wear!
This dress is so fun - the pictures don't do it justice. I rented it for an event, but ended up wearing it to work. It was comfortable to wear all day, and I got a ton of compliments. This would also be a great day dress with a cute pair of white tennis shoes. It's super versatile!

Beautiful fabric, high quality, runs big
Loved this dress!! It is a heavier, high quality fabric, but is very forgiving, flattering, and comfortable. I'm 5'3 / 135lbs and a Size 3 was a little large on me in the chest/stomach/arms. This dress can be dressed up with pumps, or dressed down with a jean jacket and sandals. I may have to rent again!

Showstopper pattern, okay fit
This dress is so fun! The pattern is awesome, and super unique. Pay attention to the size conversion, I'm 5'3 / 135lbs and wore the size 10. It was a bit snug on the hips but I had a lot of extra fabric around my waist. It is a heavier (almost taffeta) material, and was a bit too dressy for my event, so I didn't wear it. I would rent again though.

Too low cut for work, too meh for a night out
I rented this for work - the plan was to style it with a blazer or denim jacket. But when I put it on, the front cutout went lower than my bra. Not okay for work. Then I thought, I'll save it for the weekend. But the body shape and pinstripes aren't super flattering or fun. So I never ended up wearing this dress. It's the equivalent of your co-worker who has one too many drinks at a work function. A little much for that environment, and still probably not someone you want to hang out with on a Saturday.

Like Pavarotti, but in a good way!
Pictures don't do this blouse justice. It's so unique in its colors and textures, and unbelievably high quality. I got compliments all day. It's like artwork in blouse-form.

Classic, work-friendly, show stopper
I loved this dress. I had an unexpected funeral, and wore this dress. It was conservative and classy. I thought I could return the bad day memories when I was done. I loved the dress so much, I wore it again to work later that week. Don't judge. It's very high quality, flattering, and comfortable.

Very short, weird fit. Didn't wear.
I'm 5'3 and this dress was still strangely short. I got a small, but I think the medium would have been too big in other areas. It was just a weird fit overall. I really wanted this to be cute.

The best seersucker dress in the world!
I absolutely fell in love with this dress. I would have bought it if I didn't already have a collection of similar dresses. But honestly I'm still having separation anxiety after sending it back. This picture does not do it justice, the collar and details are exceptional. The fabric was extremely high quality. And the fit was very comfortable. I wore this for Easter and it was comfy enough for the day.

Cute enough
This shirt is cute, but seemed sort of cheap. I was surprised it was Nicole Miller given the fabric material. It definitely runs big. I tucked it in to high waist jeans to give it more shape. It just wasn't anything to write home about.

Perfect work skirt!
Based off the reviews I sized up and was glad I did. The skirt was a little loose, but I could tell my usual size would have been snug. This is the perfect skirt for work! I got lots of compliments!

Strange fit if you have curves
When I originally pulled this out I thought it was a shirt and not a dress. When I went to put it on, I also was sure it wouldn't go over my hips, but it did. It wasn't as bad once I got it on, but it really wasn't flattering. I have hips and I'm thin at my waist, so the straight shape wasn't for me. It was also snug on my hips and loose on my stomach. Also, I'm 5'3 but if you're taller or wear heels, this will become very short. The bottom ruffle covers more than I thought, but it doesn't feel very secure (like one second of wind and you're going to give a show).

Cute top, but not easy to move in
This top is super cute! The fabric is lightweight and not too hot. The details like the sleeves make it special. It is a bit short, I was able to tuck it in to my high waist jeans. The elastic sleeves and the off the shoulder style make it hard to move in. If you need to dance or move, it's not the best option.

Great color, thin fabric
The blue of this dress is gorgeous and striking. The fit/cut isn't bad. The fabric is thin and unforgiving. If you are in amazing shape - rent away! For me, there are pictures where this dress looks awesome, and other pictures where you can literally see my belly button. And I was wearing Spanx. Fair warning!

Standout Cocktail Dress!
This dress was SO fun to wear!! I was twirling and dancing in it all night. The fit is a perfect A-line dress, which is nice if you're curvy like me. I'm 5'3 and I was nervous the dress would be too long, but I liked the tea length look. No need for Spanx, but I did wear a sticky bra. One note: the first dress that shipped to me didn't have the bow attached, so a second dress had to be shipped right away. RTR was awesome as usual, but just in case you receive a dress with no bow.

Perfect LBD for work!
This dress is better than I imagined! I highly considered buying it. The fabric is incredibly high quality, and the fit is very flattering. I'm curvy and it hit me in the right places. I'm 5'3 and the length was perfect for work. I layered the Rebecca Taylor blazer on top of the dress.

Classic blazer with style!
I LOVE this blazer! It's high quality and tailored, with classic tweed fabric. While the fabric is a classic, the cut is modern and fitted. I am 5'3 and this jacket hit right below my waist. If you are any taller, this jacket may be short on you. Also, I sized up based on reviews and was glad I did. It fits perfectly, but my usual size 6 would have been too small. I layered this on top of the Rebecca Taylor dress. It was a perfect combo!

Gorgeous black tie dress!
I wore this to a black tie wedding and it was absolutely perfect! First off, I traveled with this dress and because of the fabric it had zero wrinkles and looked fresh upon arrival. The dress itself fit wonderfully and was very comfortable - the fabric has some stretch to it which is nice. The texture on the dress makes it forgiving to body imperfections and the little arm ruffle hides arm "fluff" if you're self conscious about that. I'm 5'3/5'4 and wore 4 in heels - it was a touch too long but still could dance. Also you can wear a normal strapless bra which is nice. LOVED this dress!

Chic and versatile, but heavy!
I didn't end up wearing this - I got it to bring to Canada, but it was too bulky to pack or travel with. It was incredibly well made and could be work casual with leggings or dressed up over a cocktail dress. It's a truly beautiful piece.

Runs small!
I wanted to love this! I got a medium and usually can wear a small or a medium, and the medium was WAY too snug. It fit, but it just wasn't comfortable - in my opinion comfort is the whole point of a shirt like this! The sleeves were way too snug, and the shirt was weirdly short. The fabric was soft as usual with Rails, the fit was just totally weird.

I wore this for a Speakeasy/Gatsby party, and it was perfect! The dress itself is gorgeous, and I would rent it again for a normal cocktail party/wedding. It's incredibly flattering, and the details are stunning.

Stunning dress!
This dress is very fitted but has some stretch. The top is loose (even when I tried the size 6), so I recommend using dress tape to keep it up. The color is vibrant and the ruffles cover up body imperfections. Absolutely loved this dress!
