Pretty pattern but a bit matronly
Liked the color and pattern, but material was too thin for winter. I think it would have been cuter styled with a jacket, but I didn't have the right option to go with it.

Pretty and comfy
Love the pattern and warmth of this one. Easy to style - I’ve worn it twice and will probably get one more wear before my return window. It’s something a little different than a plain sweater, but not too loud/out there so it can still be worn to work. Considering keeping this piece.

Really liked these - I have to size up in this brand. Liked the wash and length is good with flats or boots with a lower heel.

Very flattering and formal
Beautiful fitted gown, lovely heavy fabric. I wore this to a black tie event and received several compliments on the dress from complete strangers. Rented with 12 and the 14 - wore the 14 so I would be more comfortable when seated. The zipper is a little tricky, so know that you’ll need help getting that zipped once the gown is on. I would have loved to have an option for a long as it was a little shorter than I would have liked (I’m 5’9”) but it still looked ok. Would absolutely rent again.

Eye catching pattern with unique details
I liked this coat, but really wish I had ordered a Large instead of the RTR recommended XL. Loved the snaps on the sides and weight of the coat. Unfortunately the sleeves were comically huge - and I could have worn an entire other coat underneath it. If the fit had been better, I probably would have hung on to this for a while.

Bulky, tricky pockets & unflattering
The cut of these really accentuates any roundness in your lower stomach area and the loose fit did not do my backside any favors. I think that even if you were quite thin, the pockets would gape at the sides. I’m not sure if these would have been better if I had gone down a size since they were really loose in the waist and butt. I wore once and packed them right up to go back.

Beautiful color & very fitted
I did not wear this due to just how fitted it was. It would have been too fitted for work, and I couldn’t quite get it styled right to wear it for something more casual. The sleeve length/extra bit of fabric was tricky with a jacket.

Great color rigid denim, runs small
Really loved these but needed one size up. I’m normally a 31, ordered a 32, but would need a 33 to be comfortable while sitting. Great wash and fit.

Bright and fun piece
This piece was the last I added to an order, and it ended up being my favorite. It’s a bright and lively pattern that that I didn’t know I needed. Great fit and liked the thin material for layering.

Just okay - there are far cuter options
This top was disappointing because the underside of fabric is white, so anywhere it stretched, it showed as a lighter color. Also, the blue didn’t pop against the black as much as it looked like in the model pics.

Great warm wool neutral
Love the color, weight, and fit of this. Perfect for a cold day. It’s a great neutral. But, it’s really itchy anywhere it touches your skin. I just couldn’t wear it more than once.

Runs large and stretches out
I’m usually a 31, but was worried these would be too tight so sized up. I should have stuck with my true size. They are very wide and they stretch out throughout the day.

Cropped and tricky to style
Loved the color and weight of this piece. I sized up because I was worried it would be too short, but the larger size just ended up looking kind of frumpy all over. I’d recommend getting your true size, and just know that it will be pretty cropped.

Low scoop neck
I tried this because I thought it would be great for when wearing collared neck tops. The scoop neck came down pretty low, so it never looked quite as I had hoped it would. Liked it in theory, and wore a couple times but would maybe size down if I try this again.

A lot of fabric - no pockets!
I ordered a size up on this due to having the button up top and needing to fit my chest. It did fit in that area, but the rest of it just ended up looking kind of frumpy even with the tie at the waist. Also, no pockets - to have all that fabric and no pockets was a real bummer. Color was nice and I like the idea of the pleated skirt, but it just wasn’t for me.

Beautiful true red - fitted but thick enough material to look nice. Loved that all buttons are fully functioning and you can adjust the look based on how you wear it. Cute and a solid rental for late summer/early fall.

Fun and flirty
Top was fun and on-trend. Very voluminous in the sleeves, and definitely a statement piece. Plenty of room, and it looked good after I steamed it. I wore it with a tank underneath, but was still cute and showed some skin for a date night.

Very structured, cut beautifully
I really wanted to love this top, but it just wasn’t comfortable enough for me when sitting. I tried 2 different sizes - ended up wearing the 14, but it was just so tight brighter bust. I probably needed to size up at least one more to be able to feel comfortable, but it did look sharp & snappy!

Spunky and fun pattern
Wore this to work under a loose jean jacket, but could also wear without a top layer. Fur was good - a bit shorter, but no issues as long as you wear a higher waist. Very cute and made for a fun late summer top for work.

I loved the color of this sweater, but it was so large it made it really hard to style. I would order again but would size down to a medium or small

Impossible shoulders
I really tried to make this work, but even with garment tape the shoulders still slipped after a while. I tested it out by wearing it around my house, and ended up returning without wearing it in public. The pleating is beautiful, but the shoulders were a deal breaker for me. I’m not sure if a smaller size would have stayed put better in the shoulders, but I was worried the top would have been too cropped.

So much fun!
I loved this dress - the color was great, and the material was a fun color and print. I ordered the XL because it was available but it was big on me - the back of the dress slipped down, and shoulders were hard to keep in place. Luckily the smocked bodice was fitted enough to wear with a jacket to work. If I order it again, I will wait for a large.
