Business in the front. Party in the back.
Super tailored. Well made. Pleats and pockets that make it a dressy cropped trouser. Cool material perfect for summer. Stunning back. My only complaint? To go to the bathroom, it requires that you completely disassemble the top and unzip the pants. Getting the back zipped up requires a bit of flexibility and time...or a friend to join you in the bathroom. I have long arms so I could do this with a little maneuvering... Overall I loved it. Business in the front, party in the back.

Super Versatile! (But for the shorter gals!)
I loved this dress although I could not wear it. It was going to be a great casual, comfy dress that I could wear with flats. If you are tall like I am, this is not dress for you. It was very short and by bending over, my whole backside was exposed. I thought I could salvage it as a "tunic" but due to the trim, it just didn't look right. This is one of the few RTR pieces I have not been able to wear. Wanted to share my thoughts for those tall girls considering it!

Casual Cape? Why Not?!
This dress is amazing. People "ohhhh" and "awwww" over the fact that it has a cape. The colors are so fun and summery. I work it to work with some metallic flats and a vintage gold necklace. It was super comfortable, but VERY striking. That's a big win.

Pictures don't do this dress justice; the geometric applique is AMAZING. Really great quality dress. The pink is very dainty, but the panels make it edgy and fun. Would make a great shower dress. Beware....I could not wear a bra. If you have a large rib cage, you'll need to order up. While it fit like a glove, I would order one size up for comfort.

Great Concept, But Proceed with Caution
I loved the structure and design of this dress. It was so unique. However, when you walk, the front slit gapes open showing a LOT of upper thigh. I had to wear black athletic shorts under it. People complimented me: "I like your skort." Unfortunately, that was due to a design flaw. Wearable, but realize it won't be a breeze to wear.

Step Into Spring, But Hide Those White Legs!
As the days are warming up, my pale legs haven't seen sunshine in months! I wanted to wear an airier and dressier version of a maxi, so I jumped on this skirt. I wouldn't get too hot, but I would still look professional for work. This hit the spot. I paired this with black gladiator heels for a commanding look, and a bright yellow blouse for contrast. Compliments flowed, and the detail work of the dress is truly showcased in person. I later dressed this down in a soft tee and black ballet flats for casual wear. Fun piece.

It's All in the Details
I rented this for a charity event and fell in love, and ended up wearing it to work, too. The embroidery on this piece is phenom. It's such a high quality piece. Due to chilly nights, I wore this with a cream long sleeve underneath and black knee-high boots. For work, I work a black turtleneck underneath and cowboy boots for a more, fun look. There is ample cream and black in this dress, so if you need to layer, both colors look stunning. It it was more cold, I would have worn with black tights and booties. The floral print screams spring, the detail work exudes exotic craftsmanship, and the versatility allows one to dress up or down. A winner in my book!

Rent This ASAP!
This is probably one of the most fun pieces I have rented from RTR after 50+ pieces. The photo does not do this garment justice. The collar is adorable and I tied the belt like a robe. It cinched the waist and looked great (not as bulky as the photo depicts). I paired with skinnies (not boyfriend jeans like the photo so I could enhance the vest and streamline my silhouette) and metallic flats. People raved. Is this a hunting vest? A fashion vest? An apron? "This is so cool! What is this? Where did you get it?" I'll probably re-rent this again, and next time...wear it over a simple, casual dress.

Springin' Into Spring
This is the perfect spring transitional piece. The fabric is heavy for those chilly spring mornings and evenings, but the structure is perfect for day. The print is fun after long winter months. I paired with cowboy boots for a little bohemian flair. My only complaint? The seems are itchy! The fabric quality is amazing (similar to neoprene), but that causes the seams to be very thick and irritating. I wore a camisole to alleviate some of the discomfort.

Culottes = Wardrobe Gamechanger
As a working woman, culottes are IT. This was my first experience with a garment like this, and I absolutely loved this rental. Looks like a skirt, moves like pants, and there are pockets. What's not to love?! The print and Italian fabric is stunning, and I am becoming a huge Milly fan from RTR. The waist is high and tailored, so if you're running between sizes, I would go up (particularly because you'll be tucking a shirt in). I received a ton of compliments, but when women realized they were culottes, they were amazed. One of my favorite rentals to date.

Charlotte York For the Day
Super classic, well made piece. It hugs the body perfectly due to the fabric. The collar is actually very beautiful in person (although mine was seeing the RTR wear and tear). There is really nice detail in the white trim that the photo does not capture. I love when a dress is comfy - a rarity - but this one checks out.

Power Blazer
This blazer has amazing, intricate detail. It's subtle, yet striking. The photo does not do it justice. It easily pairs with a dress, or can be dressed casually with black skinnies. It's one of those clothing pieces that just makes you feel strong when you wear it.

Gorgeous, But TINY!
I ALWAYS wear a 4, sometimes a 6, and I could not zip this up. I am very skinny and have tiny arms and I could not get them in the sleeves. I could probably order two sizes up. What a shame; stunning dress, but runs small! Proceed with caution!

Quality = Eye Catching
This jacket was amazing. I wore it with a plain black dress and booties to work. Very popular with my co-workers. It has a two-way gold zipper on the front that isn't even highlighted in the photo. Would work well with black skinnies and a gray tee. This is a really well constructed garment; feels great, looks fab, and wears well.

All Eyes On You
First, let me address the quality. It is a VERY well constructed dress. I was incredibly surprised; the picture does not even begin to do this dress justice! It was so fun to wear. I wore this piece to work, and then transitioned to an engagement party that night. When you put this piece on, you can't help but smile. It's so different, bold, and unexpected. This was my first run with Moschino and I'll be back for more!

Wearing Temperley To Work. #NBD
I wore this with black tights and booties as a transitional piece from work to a networking event. The quality is amazing. It is a very warm garment but due to the lace overlays and openings, it is incredibly breathable. It is a stretchy, scuba material that adheres to the body. My only dislikes: my arms are TINY and the dress was very tight in that area. The arms are designed for a size 2 or 0 but the hips are for a 6 or 8. The hip area was a bit baggy. Overall, I loved it. A great winter piece.

Transitional Piece + Unbelievable Quality
I wore this dress for a wedding this past weekend, and then wore it to work today. It was so easy to dress up with heels for the wedding, and cowboy boots for work. The lace and quality of this garment are amazing and insanely durable. Beware: I always wear a medium and this dress hung in an unflattering way on me. It was not until I cinched it with a belt that it looked right. The bust area is very large and unfortunately, can not be filled out with a pushup bra. I've tried several bras and they all are visible due to the low handing under arm holes. Despite these flaws, I love this dress (and other people did too!).

The Perfect Piece for Fall
Description reads "leather" but it's not. Regardless, it's definitely a compliment getter; it's a subdued color with structure that grabs attention. This was great for work. Very comfortable. Paired with white blouse and scrappy nude stilettos. Great "unexpected" fall piece!

Loved this look. I wore it to work with a scarf, cardigan, and flats and received tons of compliments. It's a fun piece to layer and accessorize and can be dressed up or down for various needs. It would look great with an ankle bootie or fun heel, too. Super comfy and versatile.

Gorgeous Detail Work + Compliments Galore
Wow. I'm a 4 on a regular basis; I can sometimes wear a 2 in premium designers. The size 6...I could barely get into. Luckily I have tiny arms because the lace does NOT stretch. The dress fit like a glove, but didn't allow for a lot of comfort unless standing up (which was worth it). I went braless because there was absolutely no room for additional material. I would definitely order two sizes up.

Attention Grabbing + Insanely Comfortable Dress
I am 6'0" and were heels and this looked amazing. I transitioned to flats during the wedding reception and hit floor length perfectly. I didn't have to wear a bra, I could dance with ease, and I could eat as much as I wanted without having to "suck it in." This dress was admired by all. What a winner!
