Want to Love This But Need to Be Skinnier for It to Love Me
Even when sizing up, it's still cropped and rides up. Had to wear with high-waisted bottoms.

Super Cute with the Matching Skirt!
The fit is a bit boxy but I didn't mind. It was super comfortable and I wore it open with jeans and a belt and a white tank top underneath as well as a set with the matching skirt.

Smart Pencil Skirt
Great for me, because I have a very short waist and even at my skinniest, slim skirts are often too tight. This was a great skirt for winter office attire and very versatile. If you are one of those lucky people with a tiny waist, you'll likely find it runs large.

Comfortable and Easy to Wear
As a short-waisted person, even at my skinniest, my waist never nips in, so items are often too tight for me in the waist and too big everywhere else. This skirt fit perfectly, was versatile, and comfortable. I may try a 6 next time.

Loved the Button Detailing
This runs on the larger size. I tucked it into a skirt, and it looked great, but I probably could have gone with a 6. The button details down the sleeves was super cute. Would rent again or consider buying as a basic white button down if it was less expensive.

Beautiful Embroidery Print
This dress was ladylike and gorgeous, but if you are busty, you may need to size up. I went with an 8 and was able to button it without a noticeable gap, but just barely. I think if I sized up though, it would have been longer than I liked and perhaps too big everywhere else.

I sized up to a 10, based on the recommendations and was glad I did. I love the color of this jacket. It's a very Spring look, but is really warm. My office is always cold, so it worked out great for work, but if your indoor climate is warmer, you might find i

Preppy with an Edge
I’m a sucker for seemingly contrasting elements that somehow just work. I loved the conservative preppy button down in that fabulous shade of blue with the sassy leather minidress. I did have to pin the fabric under the straps to the shirt though to prevent them from falling down. I’m short, so the length worked for me. If I were taller, I think I still would have loved this but worn it to go out rather than for work.

Tight in the Ribcage and Hard to Zip
I had to really maneuver to zip this up. Once it was on, it looked great, but I won't rent again. If I size up, it will be too big everywhere else. At a 36D, I'm used to things being too tight in the bust, but this dress actually fit the bust area but was awkwardly tight in the ribs and hard to get on.

Great fit. When I rented in a 6, the shirt arm was a bit snug. Constant compliments on this dress every time. I should probably buy it. Perfect winter wear for office as the sweater fabric makes it warm.

Tinier than tiny! I wore it anyway as a jacket and it was cute, but I would have gone 4 sizes up

Loved
I loved this top. It’s great for Fall and can be dressed up or down. I wore it 3x! The material surprised me—I thought it would be more of a chiffon, but it’s definitely reminiscent of “western shirt” material. I liked it more than I thought I would and the buttons up the back were super cute.

This made me look like I had 30 more pounds on me and was too big. Extremely unflattering, and is more orange than brown.

Not tight, but way too short.
This was cute, and I wanted to love it—especially because it has functional pockets. But I’m 5’3” and this was way too short to be work appropriate. I did not wear this item. It wasn’t too snug, but is like a miniskirt, which I did not expect. I often wear a 6 in bottoms, but with the 8 as short as it was, adding tightness and subtracting length would have looked extra inappropriate.

Boxy and Cropped
This is both too small and too large all at once. If you have a large bust, it fits like a crop top. The boxy structure made it almost too big though, and was extremely unflattering. Very tank-like. Did not wear and would not rent again. Looked super cute in review pictures on some people, but was absolutely not for me.

Loved the color so much I bought it.
This sweater runs really large. In retrospect, I wish I bought the XS. I rented the medium initially and had to send it back, because it was so huge. I love this color though and wish RTar would have more color choices in general, but especially this shade.

I loved the look of this bag, but the chain kept snagging on my clothing. Also, there was not room for both my phone and wallet.

Liked this more than expected.
I typically don't like a super puffy sleeve or shoulder, but I didn't mind these so much. I held on to it, wanting to pair it with cute, plaid trousers I'd rented before, but they didn't come available at the right time, so I'm sending it back. Would rent again if the trousers and top were available at the same time, but may try a less puffy sleeved white shirt.

Good for Petites
Standing at 5'3", I usually can't find pants to fit me on RTR, so these were a great find! The waist is a bit tight for me on both the 6 and the 8. Then again, my waist is super short and is never tiny, even at my skinniest. I love these pants. They are nerdy-chic, if that makes sense. Would buy them if I had a tinier waist and could wear them more comfortably.

Did Not Wear
This was voluminous everywhere—not just the sleeves. It made me feel like a football player and it was very noisy, with the slightest movement. I only got it because the Adam Lippe puffed sleeve shirt with collar had to be replaced and wasn’t available in either of my sizes. I thought this top might be similar, but it was way off.

Soft, light, and comfortable dress.
This dress ran a little loose for Veronica Beard. I'm glad I didn't size down though, because the length likely would have been too short for work. This was cute and comfortable and I loved the color.

Beautiful dress for Brunch or an Outing
As a 36D, this was very snug for me in the bust. At first I didn't think I could wear it, because there is no "give" in the fitted part of the fabric. To zip it, I had to leave the straps off, zip up the waist, and then put on the straps and zip the upper back. Once on, the dress looked great, was surprisingly comfortable, and snatched everything in. If I sized up, I'm sure the rest of dress would have fit too big. I would rent again. Lots of compliments on this dress. I wore it to a local presidential library when friends were visiting.
