Flattering and versatile
This worked great under a blazer for work and on its own paired with jeans for a dinner out. Had a little flair and was fun to wear.

Sophisticated, yet quirky
With the extra attention to details, such as the binding on the collar and fabric covered buttons, this blouse is very sophisticated. It works really well on zoom, but would not be as good in person due to the quirkiness. As others have noted, there's high slots on the side that make it awkward for tucking in (and it looks better tucked in). It also wrinkles very easily, especially with seatbelt use. And it didn't seem right in the chest, but would gap a bit if I moved in just the wrong way.

Baggy, boxy fit was unflattering
The colors are pretty, but other than that I didn't like this one. The mid weight, slightly structured fabric combined with the very blousy (ie baggy) fit made this completely unflattering for me. I did not feel confident in this one and ended up not wearing it more than a few hours.

Very professional but not boring
This is one of those blazers that is elevated above being basic. I found the fit to be very flattering, although may not work as well for someone who is not as hourglass/does not have a smaller waist. I will definitely rent again, but when the weather cools off as it was a little heavy for the unexpected heat we were hit with when I had it.

Stretched out (size down) but still fun
Rented for vacation in Hawaii and it was perfect. I followed the advice of others and rented a M (instead of my usual L) and I could have worn a S. I had a hard time cinching the waist tight enough to be flattering. Very comfortable and doesn't wrinkle. Perfect for a night out on vacation.

Sheer, but beautiful
While I didn't get any compliments on this one, I felt really good in it. I wore it twice - once with a long sleeve black t underneath for cooler weather and with a black cami underneath on Easter. Definitely wouldn't wear it without one of those underneath.

Size up for larger chests
The fabric and color are beautiful, but the M recommended by RTR kept getting "caught" on my chest and creasing. It made me self conscious and I kept tugging at it when I'd see myself on Zoom. Wish I'd gotten the L. Might rent again in fall with the larger size.

Looks nice, but sleeves very long
Either my arms are too short for my height and weight or designers are adding extra, unwanted and unnecessary length to sleeves as there's been several rentals that fit me like this. I was able to fold back and pin the cuffs and make this work. The sleeves are sheer and it's still cold here, so I wore a low scoop neck black t-shirt underneath for warmth. Looked like it was part of the blouse.

Unlined and itchy
This is unlined and felt itchy to me. It's also generously sized and I think would make a better cost than a blazer. Looked okay on zoom but will not rent again.

Stretchy, but size up for a less body con fit
Nice dress that hangs well and covers up some mid section lumps and bumps but I was self conscious of how form fitting it was. Wish I had sized up.

Overall really liked this for an elevated business casual look. Sleeves were a bit long and can't be cuffed due to the buttons, but overall fit in shoulders and chest was good and I would not recommend sizing down.

Great, warm and cozy sweater
I must start with a disclaimer that I have a below-average head size, so the tight neck opening wasn't a problem for me like others have found it to be. This became my go-to sweater during the time I had it as it works for shopping and a girls happy hour when paired with nice jeans. It runs big so you will want to size down if you want a more fitted look. Only downside for me was that I found that the thick neck kept me from wearing a necklace with it as no style hung correctly.

Fun date night too
I found this too open to wear as is, even for a date night. It needs to either be pinned or have something underneath. The fabric is very thin (but not see through) so I opted for a cami underneath as it was cold weather. Worked well for date night though.

Great, versatile work blazer
I sized down to an 8 for my second rental of this blazer and found it fit much better. The colors go with many things including dress slacks and jeans. My only complaint is that the button hits below my natural (short) waist, but it is still flattering.

Awkward
The colors and print are perfect for my taste, but this just looked awkward and unflattering. It's hard to get it tight enough to highlight the waist. It looks weird and poofy when you sit down, but can't be worn open due to the really long ties on the interior.

Warm, cozy and flattering
This is thick and warm but also holding its shape well. It was nice to have a warm sweater that was flattering and not boxy. Paired with a nice necklace it would be very work appropriate.

Very pretty fabric; long in the arms
Fabric is pretty and looks good on zoom, but the extra long sleeves that were slit at the bottom bothered me so I ended up putting on a blazer that's a bit shorter in length and folding the sleeves of the blouse up over the blazer sleeves, which we worked better. Would have preferred to wear on its own though as the blazer then hid the fabric.

Dresses up plain black slacks
The satin collar on this made it pair perfectly with a pair of satin pants for a holiday party. It does run small and the button falls higher than my natural waist (and I'm short waisted!) so sizing up is a must.

Professional, yet great for date night too.
I loved this one when paired with high waisted pants. Loved the little bit of sparkle and the warm colors of the fabric. I also was surprised to see that this looked good with a shirt underneath and regular waist jeans, as it hit at my natural waist and highlighted it. Will rent again.

Looks better under a blazer than on its own
This one fit me oddly. It's very long and not stretchy, making it tight in the hips. While I generally prefer to tuck shirts in, I not only had to tuck in, but had to blouse it to get it comfortable. It also made these weird "wings" ashen I moved my arms (tried to capture in the photo) so I put on a blazer. It does look good with the collar sticking out of the blazer, and the sleeves were long enough for me to cuff them over the blazer. Three stars for not looking good by itself.

Gorgeous statement/power blazer
One of my favorites that I've rented. It fits great if you are short waisted (the button is up a bit high) and is a very well constructed garment. I wore it for a podcast interview that was also filmed - because I felt powerful in it - and the host complimented me on it. Definitely renting this one again.

Beautiful but visually added pounds to my frame
The fabric is really unique and beautiful and perfect for fall. Despite being a bit busy it looked great on zoom. But it is very loose and billowy and visually added a lot of pounds - in shoulders and arms - to the point where I cringed seeing myself in it on zoom the day I wore it. Will not rent again.

Nice blazer, surprisingly lightweight.
This fit me well, but I am short waisted. The fabric is eye catching and looks great on zoom, but was disappointingly very lightweight. Because of that, the collar didn't always lay right and I had to wear long underwear under my top underneath since the weather had turned cold. If I rent again it will be when the weather turns warm again.

Beautiful, but runs big/long in the sleeves
This is perfect for fall in both fabric weight and color. I got complimented when wearing it. However, it ran big and in particular was too long in the arms which left it looking sloppy. I may try again in a smaller size in the future.

Flattering for wider hips
I've struggled to find skirts and dresses that flatter wider hips and this one finally did. It's a very heavy fabric that drapes beautifully. A bit more stylish than plain black also. Great for cooler weather when paired with boots.

Very unflattering
While the print on the fabric is very pretty, the fabric itself is a strange weight that doesn't drape well at all. I usually love a-line dresses and find them flattering. But this one tented out below the elastic and made me look much larger and heavier than I am. It also was loose in the elastic itself, which is why I said I think it runs large. It looked okay on Zoom, but I was so self conscious in this that I changed out of it after only a few hours.

Would be great for travel
The fabric on this seems indestructible; it doesn't wrinkle and when I dribbled a tiny bit of lunch in it, it wiped right up. I wore this twice. The first time was paired with black work pants. The second time it was with cropped jeans and I think this was a better match as the shirt leans more casual. The v-neck kept flapping open on the right side, so I wore a black cami under it to keep from exposing more skin than I wanted for work. Overall a nice, versatile shirt

Not a good one for Zoom.
While eye catching, I found this sweater to not be good to wear for Zoom meetings. While the pattern is a bit busy for the screen, the bigger issue I had was how much it accentuated my bust on the screen. It did not have the same effect in person. The bands at the sleeve didn't stretch, and had really thick seams, so if I was moving around a lot, it got a little tight and uncomfortable. Not one I would rent again.

Comfortable, has pockets, but not that special.
This is a nice dress that works for work, but I didn't feel was quite as nice as other pieces I've rented. I did like that it had generously sized pockets that didn't stick out at the hips. The smocked back makes it fit a lot of sizes well, but my large chest was emphasized a bit too much in it. So much so that I felt compelled to wear a black cardigan over it to cover up a bit. Not sure if a larger size would have helped, but I think I'd try that if I rented again.

Great blazer for work.
The blazer fabric is very thick and holds it shape well, whether you latch the hook and eye closures or leave it open. I liked that there was enough room in the chest for me (32DD/F) to close it, although I did find the fabric too warm for summer and had to leave it open. It looks good on Zoom, but I think looks best in person where you can really see the quality of the blazer.

Beautiful top for Zoom or heading out.
This is a beautiful top that works great on Zoom, even if you are full busted. It also pairs well with jeans for an elevated casual look for the weekend. Two things to take note of - 1) it shows wrinkles so you will need an iron or steamer and 2) the sleeves are gathered at the ends, but not elastic, so you may need to size up if you have large arms.
