Delicate and Understated
These are very dainty and understated. I liked them for an everyday look, but I probably wouldn't wear them for an event. The backs were a little loose and the repacements I had on hand were too tight, so I was afraid to travel with them. I ended up leaving them at home over the holidays to avoid losing them.

Soft and Warm
I love this for a casual look. It was warm, but not too warm and ridiculously soft! The arms are a little long, and it is a crops length but it was really cute with high-waisted jeans and leggings.

Warm, Versatile and On Trend!
I borrowed this for the winter. Living in a warmer climate, I only have me even item like this about a month or two out of the year, so this was absolutely the perfect solution! I wore it with a lightweight top anytime the temperature dipped below 50 and also took it with me while traveling over the holidays, where I layered with warmer tops when the temps plunged to below freezing. I'm definitely considering purchasing this one!

Looked Great on Video
I borrowed this for a series of video interviews and also got to wear it into work one day. Wish I'd gotten a pic! So cute, comfortable and was able to style a couple ways. It looked great on camera. It's dark, but the pattern gives it some movement. Would definitely wear again!

This is a great top. Dress it up or down. Flattering and a good length even on my long torso. I've worn it several times!

These were almost perfect just a tad large on me. If I could have tightened the straps anymore, I may have purchased them! Going to try the large when they become available. Just a fun throwback item to have for everyday!

Complicated built-in bra, but overall very cute and comfortable. Perfect for late summer or fall with the pops of orange! I styled it with a Lauren by Ralph Lauren cardigan in the morning, then went sleeveless in the afternoon. Would rent again!

A Synthetic Sensory Nightmare
I chose to ignore some of the reviews stating this was a weird texture, focusing instead on the ones that said it was cute and not too heavy. Unfortunately, this was a NO for me from the first touch. It's entirely synthetic and feels nothing like a sweater/jumper. It honestly moves a lot like a wearable slinky, which is bizarre. I also found it heavy despite the open weave. I was both cold and uncomfortable the one attempt I made to wear it. Definitely won't rent again.

Loved it!
I rented this one a little early for my event & lost about 6 lbs between initial try on and wearing it. At 203lbs, the 16 was a great fit everywhere except for the bust, where I'm pretty small. At 197 lbs, it was a little loose around the waist & hips, and very loose up top. I wish I'd noticed the snaps on the insides of the shoulders. It appears there are little loops there to hold your bra straps in place. I ended up wearing a stickon plunge bra instead, along with a small safety pin for a touch more modesty when seated. Overall, it was perfect and I got a lot of compliments!

Cute, but Disappeared on Me
I wore these for a wedding. My hair was supposed to be half up, half down and thought these would be a nice, simple but romantic statement earring. Unfortunately, they disappeared entirely behind my hair and face shape. Maybe if I'd worn my hair up they would have been more noticeable? But they couldn't be seen in a single photo we had taken all night. I snapped this selfie in the bathroom just to have one to share.

Too short in Length, Too Large in the Arms
I liked this top in color, texture, and style, but it unfortunately didn't fit quite right. Too large in one area, too short in another. At the time of this review, I'm 5'6" & 198lbs.

Super Cute, Slightly Tight in the Bust
I'm a 40B cup, 198 lbs and 5'6". This romper is comfy and adorable on me, but the size 16 is bursting across my relatively small chest. While having a smaller ribcage (or a old timey corset) would help, women with larger Girls are likely going to have the same issue. Still, it's so cute, I'm thinking of buying it! It's perfect for fall in Florida!

Loved it! Heavier than Expected!
Checking expectations, I'm from Florida, where we only require light sweaters at best. Still, I was shocked by the sheer weight of this baby! It is Heavy. It is also so comfortable and flattering, both open and buttoned up! It was perfect for a weekend in New England in October! Would rent again.

Beautiful!
Lovely dress, I just needed a smaller size. The 16 was unavailable so I tried the 18. Most gowns tend to run small for me somewhere, so larger tends to work better. In this case though, I would probably order down the next time. Still a lovely dress.

Loved it!
I adored this dress and plan to borrow it again. It was a perfect length for my 5'6" height, covering my knees when seated but still flirty and fun. It was too big in the XXL, but the XL (pictured) was perfect! For reference, I am pear-shaped at 199lbs, 5'6", with a 40B bust. Loved the way this looked dressed up or dressed down!

Liked the Size. More a Vanilla or Tan than White.
Cute little everyday bag. I thought it was closer to a tan than a white in person. Not an issue unless you were expecting white.

Perfect Clutch for a Gatsby Wedding
I love this bag so much I'm keeping it for another wedding next month! It's so pretty and has been well cared for before it got to me. I appreciate that so much. It was just what I needed for my ID, some cash for the bartenders and dollar dance, as well as to hide my tacky, 21st-century phone. I had hoped that it wouldn't be too, too pink, and was happy to find it fell just between a rose gold and true gold. Wish I had a better picture from the event itself, but it was a perfect match to my Roaring Twenties headpiece and dress.

Cute, but no secure closure.
I adore little crossbody bags, especially if you can ditch the strap when needed. However, I also like a bag that closes completely to ensure nothing gets lost. This didn't meet that mark. Although, I did use it for one day and found that it was unlikely that anything like an ID, CC, or even a lip glass would escape. That said, if you love a bag for a single use and don't need to carry much, this would be cute for an interview, bridal shower, or brunch.

Super Cute and Fun!
This is an adorable romper with just enough open back to make more fun than regular everyday wear. I liked that I could still wear a bra with it, but you could probably also go without. I wore this with white Berks, and then another day with slide-on canvas shoes and got lots of compliments each time! The tie is a little bulky if you're planning to wear with a jacket or sweater. They definitely needed ironed as well. Overall, I'm likely going to borrow this again.

Rich Color. Lovely neckline. OPEN BACK.
This was my first RTR shipment, so be aware that I wasn't sure of sizes and fit--at al-- when I ordered. Still, basing it on reviews, I chose my usual size and went from there! Unfortunately, I missed that the back was OPEN and required a backless bra. I also missed that this dress is much longer-than-pictured on girlies less than 5'9". I'm 5'6" and this dress was ankle length on me. In fact, without heels on the back hem created a small train behind me. That said, I believe the Size 16 may just run a little large. The sleeves were too long, the shoulders and chest drooped, and the waist was an inch or so lower than it should have been. I've been losing weight, but I was still surprised. I've recently tried on a lot of dresses and 16 is usually the smallest I could go. Maybe I'll try the 14 in the future and use and event rental so I can get a backup size instead.
