Perfect for a tropical vacation
I loved this little bag. It added such fun color to every outfit I wore on vacation. My daughter loved it, too, and was begging for me to buy it. (She's 10 and yes, this is not a super-sophisticated, chic bag, but it is sooooo cute and people who know what it is KNOW.)

Gorgeous leather, cute style
High-quality in every way. I loved this little bag. I thought I would use it more than I did, but it really only holds the essentials for a night out. That said, I loved it.

Easy to wear and fun
I love the ELK brand offerings on RTR. This was easy to wear, comfy, warm, and also could be elevated to make an everyday outfit with jeans and a long-sleeve t-shirt look cute. Big fan. (Tiniest bit itchy if you are sensitive to wool, but it didn't bother me much. And it doesn't really touch the skin much, so I almost didn't mention it.)

Warm!! Looks intimidating and big at first, but I grew to LOVE it
This is a really warm coat for winter. It is definitely part of the over-sized coat trend. At first I thought it was too much coat for me, but I grew to love it (in part because it kept me so very warm on a freezing cold day on the sidelines at my kid's soccer tournament). The fleecy details are a nice touch. It's definitely an everyday coat, and I have kept it longer than I expected because I keep reaching for it every time the temperature drops.

Somehow both comfortable and slouchy while also looking put-together
This is a great transition coat. It is not lined and there are no front closures so it is not a winter coat (at least where I live in snowy New England). But it is still warm and a perfect layer on top of anything. Because it is slouchy and over-sized you can put anything under it, including a long cardigan, which I really appreciated. I loved this as a top layer for going to work or just running around. And I loved the color. I wore my usual size and the oversize look worked for me, but I think you could also size down for a slightly less oversized look.

So cute but too short for me
The top fit great, and I loved the fabric and feel. Unfortunately it was just way to short on me. Would be really cute if it had been an acceptable length (but I'm an over-40 mom of 3, so length is subjective).

Great cut to this!
True to size. I am really loving this dress. The cut is really nice. It flows well and then--it's very subtle and I don't think you can tell in the photos--there is a seam so that the bottom 12" of the dress is another piece of fabric that beautifully nips in the bottom a bit to make it a little less of a matronly house dress. It's still really comfy and flowy, and pretty relaxed, but the details make it lovely and I wore it to my casual office for work and felt great.

amazing details
I loved this dress even though it's a little over-the-top. It would have been perfect for vacation, but unfortunately it pulled too much across my chest and was just a bit too much cleavage as a result. I wished so much I could have worn it. It's really, really special. Even though I usually wear a 14 in RTR dresses (much of that to accommodate my chest) this fit perfectly in size L in all other ways.

warm, comfy, good for lounging
As others have said it's sort of a big comfy blanket with arms. I am digging it for sitting around my cold house and still feeling somewhat put-together. I haven't worn it "out" yet, but I think it looks cute enough to use beyond lounging, though lounging is definitely its strength.

high-quality coat, looks good, warm enough for winter
I love the vest inside coat look that is very popular right now, and this coat does that perfectly. Nice pockets, great big hood. It's pretty warm and versatile. Overall a nice winter coat.

Cute and comfy
I wore this in the Fall with boots and tights. I thought it was comfortable and flattering. LOVE the pockets. It was a tiny bit clingy (static cling), but I enjoyed wearing it to work.

Professional and comfortable
I wore an XL and it fit great, but I'm usually between a L and an XL (sometimes, rarely now, I'm even a M), so I guess this runs a little small. I loved the weight of the fabric and the cut of the blouse. It was perfect for a professional conference. Packed easily and did not require ironing. I just hung it up and it looked fantastic. Highly recommend.

Cute, boxy cut
I rented this for the rose bottles and was so happy I did. The print is super cute and a good conversation piece. Like others, I styled this with a cardigan to give it a little shape. The cut is really boxy, which is fine, but I thought it looked a little cuter when I put a cardigan over the top to balance it out. Overall, a great rental.

Gorgeous color, very fun to wear
I loved this cape. It wasn't super warm but it definitely worked for me on a 40 degree night. The color is so rich and I love the contrast with the brass buttons. A very pretty cape for a night when you don't want just a coat. (I had thought maybe I would wear it inside kind of like a jacket, but it's a little too heavy for that.)

No stretch so I couldn't make it work
As others have said, there isn't any stretch in the material of this top. It was very, very cute and I so wanted it to work. But I have a larger bust and broad-ish shoulders and I could barely move in it or get it off.

Comfortable, versatile, and fancy enough
I really loved this shirt. It fit wonderfully. Sometimes I need an XL in shirts due to a large bust and broad shoulders, but this was fantastic in a large. Like others have said it's so sneaky in that it can be both casual and dressy depending on what you want/need. Also, despite it being lace, it's not overly revealing. Just revealing enough. I wore with a black bra because I didn't mind the straps showing.

Great looking everyday coat with a little oomph
I loved the leather moto detailing and the hood. It was a great coat for fall. It would be warm enough for most winter days as well but it's definitely better for fall in New England. Highly recommend.

Pretty, flattering, comfortable
I wore this sweater out to dinner. It's really beautiful -- classic and also a bit fun. I did think it ran a little small, but I was expecting that and ordered up a size from my usual. I would definitely recommend this sweater. It is warm, so it's probably best for cooler climates.

I'm really happy with this rental for everyday wear. It's a really soft sweater and surprisingly warm. What I love is that it makes me happy to wrap up in this around the house, and then it also takes my look up a notch when running around town to do errands. A versatile piece that is perfect with my Unlimited subscription!

Really comfortable while looking classy
This dress was crazy comfortable! The lace is a little stretchy and the black color is very forgiving. The length was good (at my knees like in the photo). I wore nude pumps and I think this will be a great winter dress that can easily work for the cold weather and long nights. The lace details add a lot to the look and the give the dress a little edginess (sexiness?) without feeling revealing or fussy. Overall, I am a big fan. I worried that it looked a little too reserved for a birthday party, but friends all complimented the look and thought it was a great choice.

Cute top for summer
I really liked this top. I did not size up, but if I got this shirt again, I might try an XL for my bigger bust size. The top ended up being a little shorter than I prefer (I think because my bust was taking up too much fabric!) so next time I got this through Unlimited (and I did like it enough to get it again) I would try the XL. Overall the material was a nice weight, the flowy midsection was flattering, and it very pretty in person.

Comfortable and fun dress
I wore this dress twice -- once to a party and once to work. It worked well for both. I think it is slightly more suited to work because it's not really a flashy party dress, but the party was at a friend's house and I fit right in. I wore the dress with black tights and wedge heels. As others have noted the fabric is heavy, which was perfect for the fall weather and also perfect to camouflage my mummy tummy. Like others, I also think it runs a little big, but I am busty (34F) so I ordered my usual size 14 and was happy with it. It was the right fit in the shoulders and bust but a little loose around the waist and hips. The quality of the dress is wonderful. The split neck is the tiniest bit revealing, but that made the dress a little more interesting.

Fun and so easy to wear
I wore this to a friend's 40th birthday party with black jeans and I thought it was perfect. I will definitely rent this top again! As others have noted it doesn't fit like a standard peplum top in front. The back does have the look of a peplum top, but the front is a little more relaxed and flowy -- though not too flowy. I thought it was perfect. I also thought it was true to size, at least for me. I usually wear a Large and I wore a Large in this top and it was perfect. I am busty (34F) and have had 3 kids, so I have a bit of a mummy tummy. I also have pretty athletic shoulders. So all those in combination meant that the top fit true to size on me and I loved how the front didn't pull too tightly across my belly. The material is substantial and has a nice look and feel. It looks great paired with skinny jeans and heels.

Cute summer top for casual wear
The fit was great for me. As it is a casual, boxy cut, I was able to wear the size 12 (though I need a 14 in a fitted top) and it fit perfectly. I do recommend a camisole underneath. The colors on the embroidery are really vibrant. I loved the look with white jeans.

Easy-going tote for walking around NYC with kids and their stuff
I got this through my unlimited subscription for a day trip to NYC with family. I was easily able to carry water bottles and maps and snacks, etc. The bag is really cute and completely functional. I like big unstructured bags that allow me to dump things in and fish them out. Yes, it's like a big cavernous hole inside, but that works for me when I am with my family and always stashing stuff. I plan to keep it for a little longer because it's a nice everyday bag and I really like the funky studs on the side panels.

cute and casual for everyday wear
The dress was comfortable and I love the navy blue color. The style was not great on me. The dropped waist and high neckline made me look a little too frumpy. (It didn't accentuate the positive.) I have a large chest (34E) so this style wasn't quite right for my proportions. But like I said, it was very comfortable and good for casual, everyday wear. The material was flowy and hid my mummy tummy, which I liked.

Agree with others - cute but short
Like others have said, this dress is short. I am 5'7" and it was too short except maybe as a really casual beach dress. The pattern was adorable and overall the dress was pretty. But also like others said, the top snap popped open. It wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.

Great everyday dress
I thought this dress was cute and comfortable. This dress ran true to size or a bit large. I am usually a 14 in formal dresses, but this was excellent (and even a little roomy) in a size Large. The sweater-like material was fine for summer, though I'm in New England and it wasn't overly hot or humid the day I wore this. I would definitely rent this style again for casual wear.

Beautiful coat but even the large was too small
As others said, it's a beautiful leather coat in a beautiful color. But like others, I couldn't get it to zip up (not even close!) over my chest. I would have worn it anyway without zipping it up, but the arms were a bit tight, too. If it had fit better, I would have loved it.
