Perfect for a gala!
Wore to 2 work events/galas. This was the perfect vibe! 6 was a little small in the bust for me. If I rented again I would get an 8.

Stylish but itchy
I'm absolutely obsessed with the cut of this jacket--sooo stylish and flattering! But the arms are only lined halfway and the wrists are EXTREMELY itchy wool. Same with the collar. Worth it occasionally but I needed to wear long sleeves with a collar or turtleneck to be comfortable

So comfy
I love these pants and someday will find the right fit and buy. I'm 5'4" 145 lbs and the 8P was slightly too tight, while the 10R was too big. Pretty sure I need an 8R. These are the absolutely perfect combo of professional and casual for my business casual-chic office!

Very soft and comfy pants but more cropped than I was expecting. Showed my calf even above ankle bootis. Better for when you can wear heels, not boots

Worked 6mo pregnant
I ordered my usual size and it worked 6mo pregnant for my maternity shoot! I preferred it backwards actually, so it was v-neck instead of square. It was easy to do because the ties could go either way. Perfect for my cherry blossom photos!

Obsessed!
Sooo cute and comfy! Perfect for Fourth of July at 8mo pregnant. It’s a little short anyway, so with the bump I definitely had to wear shorties, but it was worth it! I’ll probably rent again next summer

Gorgeous but hot!
I absolutely loved this for my tea party themed baby shower! But just know the fabric does not breathe AT ALL! I ordered a size up to accommodate my increased bust size, and it was still a bit tricky to get it zipped all the way up.

Wore with a button down
Second time renting! I wore this while pregnant and was excited to wear it postpartum, too. Perfect for a business meeting where you don't need a suit. I love wearing with a button down underneath to elevate and because it's a little low cut otherwise.

Frumpy even for maternity
Felt like I was wearing window curtains. Wayy too big in the bust even for maternity. But I think if I sized down it would be too small in the belly.

Tight
I sized up x2 from my pre-maternity size and struggled to get these on. The waistband also hit at an awkward spot on my bump, and the elastic wasn't super stretchy, so it dug in. I rented in the late second trimester and it didn't work for me. Maybe it would work closer to 12-16 weeks.

Definitely cropped!
Cute sweater, I felt very cozy chic in it and it paired well with a lot of items. It's definitely cropped! I sized up to wear at 26-28 weeks pregnant, but it wasn't long enough to cover the belly band on maternity pants. I also hoped it would be softer. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it also wasn't super soft.

Too tight for 3rd trimester
These didn't work for me. When I had the right size overall in the legs, the waistband was too tight on my bump. When I tried to situate the jeans lower on my hips, there was too much material bunched around my crotch. The elastic is not super stretchy, so the waistband dug in. The pants are also very long on my 5'4" frame, and required platform sneakers/heels. Maybe someone carrying higher could make it work, or maybe they would've worked for me in the second trimester.

Itchy
Warm, but I found it itchy. It's fine with a long sleeved shirt underneath, but I was hoping for the sleeveless look. It is bump friendly and long enough to pair with maternity pants.

Favorite maternity pants
LOVED these in the second trimester! The pant waistband comes up high enough to wear with normal shirts without showing the belly band, and the belly band is soft and supportive, and comes up just high enough. I only returned because I needed to size up for the third trimester, and now it's summer. I ordered my normal size for the second trimester and it fit well for about 10 weeks.

Perfect for gala at 28 wks pregnant!
I rented this dress for a "business/black tie optional" work gala that took place when I was 28 weeks pregnant, and it was absolutely perfect. I got tons of compliments, and the material was sooo soft and comfortable--not usual with black tie appropriate gowns! The ties in back were perfect to show off the bump a little without being form-fitting or uncomfortable. I'm usually 5'4" and 140 lbs but am currently 155 lbs with the bump. If you're in between sizes, you could definitely size down for this reason--it's very forgiving. Note the neck comes up very high if you're sensitive to that.

Great for Fall/Spring
Perfect dress for fall or early spring, and bump-friendly. I wore during the second trimester and got a lot of compliments! Note that the arm holes were a little wide and showed my bra. Easy enough to wear long sleeves under or a blazer over, though, and maybe bustier girlies wouldn't have the same problem.

So soft and a great color!
I got so many compliments on these pants! The color was perfect for late winter/spring, and the material was extremely soft. And bump friendly! I wore these during the second trimester, two sizes larger than what I normally wear. They were perfect and stylish for my mini-bump period. I would have purchased if I had been renting my normal size.

Cute, not for me
This item is listed as bump friendly, which it is but just know the drape top will pull open and reveal your bump/shirt underneath constantly. I wore at 20-22 weeks. Wasn't the look I was going for.

Cute but itchy
The skirt was very flattering, and perfect for a work conference at 23 weeks, paired with a black sweater and blazer. But I found the ribbed fabric of the skirt to be itchy to sit in at a desk all day, even with tights. I couldn't wear more than once.

Belly band too low
I liked the fit and comfort of these pants, and really wanted to make them work. I rented my prematernity size and it was the right one in the late second/third trimester. Unfortunately, the belly band on these seems to go super low on the waist, which made the pants slide down when walking because they weren't secure at the waist but hanging from the tight elastic above my belly. And none of my shirts were long enough to cover the belly band if I started moving even a little bit. You would probably have to pair with a true maternity shirt/sweater, since the last time regular shirts were that long was probably in 2008.

Perfect for St. Patrick's Day
This is the second year in a row I have rented for St. Patrick's day, and I love the dress's look/pattern! Two things keep me from buying it. 1) it's not very soft. The fabric is a little rough/starchy feeling. 2) I can't figure out the right size. I'm wearing a medium here, which is super cute in my second trimester, but still much lower cut than ideal for me. I have it pinned to a v-neck bra here. But when I rented a small, the color blocking hit in a weird spot and looked funny. It might work best for someone taller! But the color is great and the pattern is very flattering even when you're not pregnant! Overall, super cute and bump friendly. I'll probably rent it again next year

Love this sweater!
I rented last season, too! This sweater is the perfect mix of super warm and very chic for work in a business-casual office in Chicago. Note the sleeves are long, so the top is not super easy to eat dinner in if you’re considering for date night.

Definitely cropped
Super cute! Great for those early spring days when you want a pop of color but need to stay warm. Note that it's not as warm as I initially hoped (for Chicago February) because it doesn't have any wool in the blend, but it's plenty warm for 30 degrees plus. It's definitely a cropped fit so I wore with high waisted jeans/skirts.

Very trendy but runs small
I'm usually a 6-8 and sized up to a 10 for a more forgiving fit, but it was still a little tight! Cute for standing up but hard to sit in. VERY chic. Will definitely rent again (sizing up even more).

Cute but not for dinner
I'm usually a true medium and sized down for the sleeves, but it didn't work out. The waist was pretty form fitting, so it was a little tight, and the sleeves were still too long. Cute but if you're trying to eat in it you really have to watch the sleeves! I ended up taking it off during my dinner date.

Chic miniskirt!
I wore with the matching vest and got so many compliments! I'm usually a size 6-8 and I think I sized up from RTR's recommendation to give my tummy a little more grace around the holidays, and it was perfect. It's a little short for the office with heels but just right with thigh high boots!

I wore this for date night and my husband loved! The main downside was that the material is a very artificial fabric that bugged my sensitive skin, so I could only wear it for a short dinner, not a longer day of activities.
