Ok style-wise, but uncomfortable
As other reviewers have stated, there is no give in this fabric. I originally rented this in a 42 (which was the size RtR picked for me as the equivalent of a 6) and it came nowhere close to fitting. So I sent it back and rented it again in the next size up. It was an ok skirt, but I didn't like it enough to make up for how uncomfortable it was. It fit fine, but since there was no stretch, it dug in to my midsection a lot when I sat down. If I had liked the style more, I think I could have forgiven that, but it didn't blow me away like other items I have rented.

Birthday outfit!
I got this for my birthday, and rented both the small and medium. I didn't even try on the medium, as the short fit pretty well. The waist was really tight, to the point where I was relieved to get out of it by the end of the night. It didn't cut off circulation or anything, it just cut in more than I would have like. However, it fit and, being 5'2", I wanted the length of the small, which fit perfectly with heels. Everything else about the small was great. I tried one of those backless, strapless bras, which worked great. Since it was a cold February night in Seattle, I paired it with a black blazer when I had to go outside. It was a really fun jumpsuit! Sorry no picture, they are not my top priority while consuming alcohol (for obvious reasons).

More gold than in the photo
This skirt is really beautiful. There is more gold than you can see in the pictures; since it is shimmery, I think it shows up as silver/white in photos. As other reviewers have noted, it has zero stretch. I am firmly a 6, but got an 8 and am happy I did, as it was very fitted around the waist. It is pretty shiny and would probably be better for a party than work. It was easy to accessorize because it was both gold and silver. I would definitely recommend.

Low-key sexy
This dress is so amazing. It was so beautiful and a great mix of sexy and conservative; the lace overlay covers your exposed skin. The chest was a little tight, so keep that in mind if you have a larger chest. I am planning on buying this one. I got a crazy amount of compliments.

Beautiful, vintage earrings perfect for a wedding
These were really gorgeous. The style is pretty vintage. I ended up letting the bride wear these since she had several options to go with her dress and didn't love any of them. As soon as she put these on, she said they were perfect. I would definitely rent these again!

Lots of sparkle
These were perfect with a low-cut gown and no necklace. I wanted a little bling that wouldn't take away from the dress and these fit the bill. They were a little bigger and heavier than I expected but that wasn't a bad thing. Overall, great earrings!

Really cute and versatile shift dress
I wore this several times (and didn't take any pictures, sorry!), to work, brunch, and a party. I was a little nervous about it being a shift dress, with my body type I like to have a tighter fit. But this dress was flattering while leaving some of my curves to the imagination. Everything fit well, but the sleeves were a tad bit tight. If you have bigger or muscular arms, you might consider sizing up. Also, at 5'2", I still had to be careful about making sure I didn't give everyone a show if I needed to bend over or cross my legs.

The lesther felt like butter
This jacket was such a great, versatile piece! I kept it for two weeks and wore it everywhere: work, brunch, Saturday drinks, a party. It was easy to style this, it works with jeans and dresses. And the leather is so soft. I forgot to take a picture, but it was a looser fit. I could wear a sweater underneath and not feel like a marshmellow man. We are having a mild winter in Seattle, so it was perfect to keep me warm. Highly recommend!

Fabulous dress that is perfect for a professional
When I rented this dress, I was a little nervous about the length (I'm petite). When I initally tried it on, I actually didn't love it; it came down just below my knees, which isn't always the most flattering for short legs. But I wore it to work and felt amazing in it. I had no less than ten people (many of whom I'd never spoken to before) compliment me onthe dress. The fabric is gorgeous, and the drop waist was actually perfect. I might have been able to go down a size but the chest would have been extremely tight. I actually ended up keeping the dress so I could wear it a second time. I am also seriously considering buying it.

Beautiful and well-made blouse
This is an amzing top. It feels luxurious on amd the detailing makes it stand out from the crowd. My only issue with it was that it was a tad big, which is my fault (I've been losing weight so I'm really playing guessing games with sizes at this point). I would have kept this longer but I wanted to try the medium. The body was just fine for the flowy look, but the sleeves were a bit long for my petite frame. Hoping the next size down fixes that!

Very stylish work pants
I'm 5'2", so these pants were full-length on me. There was pretty much no stretch in the waist (actually, the fabric in general was thick and a little stiff) but I didn't need it so it was not an issue. However, I would suggest if you are concerned about that area, size up. The pants were very flattering from the back. I wore this with an off-white Kate Spade blouse and got a ton of compliments. I would definitely recommend!

I felt like a princess
This is an absolutely amazing dress! Very well-made and the fabric was beautiful. I got all sorts of compliments at the party. My dad didn't love the amount of cleavage it showed haha; just be aware this is going to show a lot of the girls. I used tape for support since it has the open back. Plus it haaaaaasssssss pockets. I'm going to watch for this one to go one sale.
