Good perfection!
Wore this and chandelier earrings with a gold beaded gown. Perfect accessory for a black tie optional event.

Sexy sexy fine for bigger busts
Glad I read the reviews or I never would have rented. Looked sexy but thought no way it would support my natural 43yo 32g breasts. I expected them to hang to my navel in velvet green hammocks but whatever witchcraft Ronny Kobo used shockingly worked to keep them high and tight (within the boundaries of physics). The girls looked good and even my MIL approved. It was definitely booby so you have to have confidence or alcohol to rock it. I went to a nice dinner with my husband and another diner approached and asked where she could get the dress. I’m a 2/4 and the XS was perfect.

Love it so much I bought it!
I’m a size 2/4 and sized up to an 8 based on other reviews. Glad I did - I’m pretty tiny in the ribcage (approx 30in). There was a little give there, but not much. Husband loved it so I know it was flattering. I loved it. I bought it! Perfect for brunch, vacation, any summer day. You can wear a nude bra although the hook and eyes will show the middle of it. I didn’t care.

Fabulous mixed metals
These earrings are large and could easily overpower an outfit. It takes the right outfit and hair but these are fun! I love the mix of silver and gold as I always have mixed metals on. Wore them with a gold dress that had a similar feathery design.

Not enough bust support
Im a natural 32g. The dress was gorgeous and I wanted to love it but it wasn’t flattering on my breasts. They had enough coverage but zero support and no real way to wear a bra. If yours stand up without man made assistance, you will dominate in this dress. Color is stunning!

Cute & boxy
Slightly boxy (as pictured). Not as flattering on a larger bust because of the way it hangs but still enjoyed wearing on vacation. The asymmetrical wrap made the front look flattering. Just a little unflattering on me from the profile

Sexy and flattering
I sized up and glad I did so it skimmed my body a bit better. Wore this to a variety of places - everyday, vacation. I’ve always loved this cut of dress so wasn’t surprised I loved it. I’ve gained some weight recently and it’s difficult for me to feel comfortable in ANYTHING but this was a winner. The sleeves are very tight (i have heavier arms) but I left them unbuttoned.

Wore several times
Love the large size, lightness, and that they are clip ones. Found several occasions to wear although they didn't always work because they are so WOW. Several compliments on them. Wish the hardware that holds all the pearls was just a little prettier (gold or nicer looking silver) but I'm sure I was the only one who noticed. Tempted to buy but they are pretty noticeable and trendy so I'm not sure how much long term use I would get. Definitely a fun rental!!

Great going out cost for winter
I tend to wear a lot of black in winter, and this jacket instantly elevated my outfit several times for dates, Christmas and NYE. Beautiful emerald color. Looks faux but luckily that's the trend right now! Good movement to the "fur." I'm busty and have concerns about boxy/bulky pieces but this one worked with the cropped silhouette and wow factor. Very happy with it! Only reason I didn't purchase is that it's so memorable that I prefer to keep it for just a couple times wear.

Should probably buy them!
Every time I wear these, my mom tells me to buy them. They are definitely statement! I love the color. They're heavy so I'm glad they're clip ons, but as with all clip-ons, my earlobes ache after a few hours. Still - tempted to hit that "Buy Now" button. They're large - about 2" in diameter. The centers are made from tiny black beads and the gold edges are visible.

Cute, fun, short - size down
I'm definitely a medium but sized down. The small was great everywhere except in length, so I wore it over opaque black tights with boots - which made it acceptable for running around. The back is slightly longer, which is nice. Great print, great material.

Expensive looking and unique
I don't normally wear this color, but loved it for winter. I'm very large chested, so wrap sweaters aren't very slimming on me but I still enjoyed wearing this - styled similarly to the model. Love love love the architectural shoulders. Would rent again.

Quality issues aside, shows everything
I'm a big fan of this brand and am familiar with the scuba material. The dress was a great concept but unfortunately isn't flattering unless you have a smoking hot body; otherwise it's completely unforgiving. I figured as much since it's white scuba/stretchy material but...ugh...back it goes! To be fair - if I were skinnier with a flat stomach and very tan I'd probably love it!

Dying to buy these, but pretty trendy
These are huge and awesome clip-on earrings. I get a bunch of compliments on these and wear them for all types of occasions. Because of the shiny black plastic, they are funky enough for elevating everyday wear but fancy enough for an evening out. LOVE THEM and I may never return them!

Great up top, unflattering on bottom
I always have difficulty with one-pieces, but I liked the reviews saying there was more room in the bust which is usually a problem for me. I ordered my normal size, and it fit great up top (I'm a 32h, so I could see how others would think was too big). The bottom half, however, was unflatteringly tight across my tummy. Not too small, per se, just too fitted and the stretchy black material did me no favors there. Also, I am taller, so the cropped legs were a little short and I had the dreaded camel toe effect. Sigh - still no jumpsuits for me!

Fun summer handbag from a fashion icon
I liked the color and pattern of this one and rented it as part of my unlimited subscription. I'd never worn Kate Spade before, and in a sad coincidence I selected it only hours before hearing of Ms. Spade's passing. It is a great tote that definitely adds some personality to whatever you're wearing. Will likely rent again.

The RTR subscription has saved me a lot of money!
I use this mostly for date nights, work, every day, and occasionally for vacation and special occasions. I live in Arizona, so I hate investing in trendy cold-weather pieces that I may only need once or twice a year. With RTR I enjoy dressing for the cold w/o worrying that my clothes will be outdated the next time I need them. LOVES: Can purchase lovely pieces at reasonable prices. Can rent standout pieces I only wear once. Learning which designers flatter me. EXCEEDINGLY easy shipping process. Getting 4 pieces! (that may just be a grandfathered plan, but I'm thrilled!!) DON'T LOVE: There are pieces I can't find anymore (Adrienne Landau), but can't tell if they have been discontinued or just reserved for the season. Customer Service couldn't full answer. Site Navigation - It's tricky to turn on/off filters or switch from Unlimited to shorter-term rentals. I have to log out if I'm looking for a special event. Would like to ship incomplete orders. For example, there are 4 slots open but I only want 2 items and then wait a day to see what else opens up. I MUST select 4 pieces before shipping. If I leave them in the cart, I run the risk of losing them. Or if 1 or 2 pieces become unavailable (which has happened a few times lately), I MUST pick a replacement before my order ships and I haven't figured out a way to adjust the remaining pieces. So if I ordered two items to complement each other and one becomes unavailable, I can't ALSO swap out the second piece. Regardless, this is a 5-star service that I highly recommend! Happy for pregnant women to see they've added maternity :)

Nice, larger than average for Equipment
I usually size up to a Large in Equipment (slim signature pieces), but this I took my true Medium size. Would have kept it longer but the top button was broken and kept coming undone. As always, pretty print, nice silk, love these tops for work or dressed down with jeans.

Love it! Finally bought it
Fitted, big enough for a large bust (which is why I said it was large even though I typically do wear a medium), and asymmetrical peplum - everything I love in an article of clothing! This is the second time I've rented this and decided to buy it as it is a good year round piece if worn under jacket.

Cute enough to wear a couple of times
I thought it was kind of a cute, roomy oversized coat. Great color but no compliments (which is always a big clue for me). I ordered my size based on other reviews and it was a good fit. I marked it large in the review because had I ordered my normal size it would have been too big.

Not flattering enough to wear
I should have trusted the photo more. I've been on the lookout for a standout jumpsuit and reviews had me hoping this would be flattering on my busty frame. Rented it for the holidays. I just felt heavy in it, so it was never worn.

This is a nubby coat with faux fur collar (which never looks as nice as real). The material makes it feel a little more casual than the photo appears. Was fun to wear a couple of times. Would probably rent again.

Wrap dress perfection
This has been my favorite DVF rental so far. Loved the fit and navy/red stripes. The only drawback was that, as usual, I had to do some minor pinning in front as is visible in the photo. It was better coverage on me than a typical wrap dress, however. If I hadnt been at a family Thanksgiving perhaps I would have dared to leave it unpinned. I'm large chested (32h) so I would venture a guess that even ladies who typically have to pin may not need to with this one.

A cut above a standard blazer
Wore this to a conference where I wanted to elevate a casual outfit. The cut is fantastic and modern. One of my favorite pieces I rented. Sadly it smelled a bit - not sure if it wasn't cleaned in between rentals or if it just holds on to odors.

So close to being fabulous
Husband not a fan of high waists - so this was definitely a rental for me. Love the uniqueness of the wrap and the gray color is very pretty. However there were some quirks that kept it from being 5 stars. Would say these are mostly true to size but I don't have large calves and they were just a teensy bit too tight in that area, so they would ride up and bunch on my legs. The waist fit great. They were a few inches short on me which is a common problem but these were even shorter than usual ankle length, more Capri. Just kind of an awkward length. Also the wrap part occasionally resembled a codpiece (might have been a smidge tight in the thigh - not exactly the look I was going for. However, I felt put together and it was fun wearing something different. Because of the fit issues on my body I don't think I will rent again.

Adorable but runs small and size is unforgiving
I shimmied into this beautiful dress and then realized the arms were way too tight (my upper arms are slightly larger). Taking it off, I had one of those dressing room panic moments where I thought I was going to have to ask my babysitter for help getting it back up over my shoulders and head. I was STUCK. I summoned all of my creativity and patience and eased out, millimeter by millimeter. Would love to order a size up but I'm a bit traumatized. Luckily the dress suffered no harm!

Well made, warm, runs large
I thought I had ordered a size up when I tried on because it was rather shapeless. It fits exactly like the photo and I was expecting it to run a bit more slim on me. I ordered a Medium as part of unlimited. Plenty of room in the bust etc. It was warmer than I expected, believe it was wool and I didn't pay enough attention to that since it's still in the 90s in AZ. I wore it around one day. May rent again in the winter but would definitely size down for a more feminine shape.

Beautiful dress in design and construction
Exactly as pictured. Arrived with tags on. The material was gorgeous. I knew it was a gamble renting this with my body type (very busty, more weight up top), and at the end of the day it wasn't quite as flattering as my other options. Would have loved it with cap sleeves and a safety pin in the middle. However, if this cut typically looks good on you, I would highly recommend.

Beautiful details, want to love it
As usual, my 36g bustline seemed to cause the issues. I would've loved this jacket if it could've draped better in front, but it tended to slide off to the sides and since it was a little shorter it wasn't super flattering. I do have this trouble with bombers fairly frequently, so if the bomber style works for you this jacket probably will as well. The detail work is gorgeous, and the mesh makes it light weight for a nice spring jacket. I would say that it run small because I'm typically a size 6–8 and the size 10 was actually a decent fit.

Lots of compliments for this easy breezy Spring dress
I so wish I checked the price before returning this dress, I definitely would've bought it. With a 36G bustline (breastfeeding) it's difficult to find dresses but flatter my post baby body that aren't completely shapeless when they hang from my chest. I received multiple compliments on this one, and would rent again in a heartbeat.

I'm currently 36G bra, but the cleavage wasn't crazy. Wish I had a picture. This is the perfect dress to rent because it's so noticeable you wouldn't want to wear multiple times.

More formal and shapeless than I was expecting
The first thing I noticed was that the material was more formal than I thought. I was going to wear this for a date night but it seemed more wedding appropriate when it showed up. The tags were still on, which was nice. I'm typically a size 8 but have lost a couple pounds lately and due to the shape of the dress went down to a size 6. It was still too large and I assumed I was wearing the 8 until I double checked. I am large chested so this didn't do much for me, which is why I included the side profile. Pretty cute from the front, beautiful color, and if it were a size smaller I would've found an excuse to wear it! There are pockets.

Great navy jacket - size up if larger arms
I always have to size up in leather jackets so maybe I should have said true to size. It's a high quality jacket with stretchy panels. Ordered it as part of unlimited and would have worn it a lot more if we hadn't hit the 90s already in March. Yuck. Would have loved this in the winter. Navy is very pretty.

This hit at an odd place. I'm tall and leggier, so maybe that was the problem but the shorter part of the skirt hit me in an awkward spot. Normally, this asymmetrical cut is the most flattering on me, but it just looked odd so I returned without wearing (unlimited).
