Súper cute, very relaxed fit.
Runs oversized, possibly you could go down a size. I wear a 4/6/small pre-pregnancy and rented a Hatch size 1, which was loose and over sized at 31 weeks. Mock neck, dolman sleeve. Warm, soft, not itchy.

Very cute, casual, soft
Rented this at 28-ish weeks and will probably keep for a while. I love the fit of this sweater, semi long, not tight or oversized, flattering on the bump. A welcome addition to my closet when all my regular sweaters look so shrunken now.

Staple maternity option. I have worn it a million times.
I rented this dress at about 25-26 weeks and still going strong a month later. It really flatters the bump and is very versatile to be dressed up or down. I've worn it with sneakers, booties, flats, etc. I rented my pre-pregnancy size small and it fits perfectly. For reference I am 5'4" and it hits just at/above the knee. The soft fabric and reddish/pink space dye are very cute for fall.

Rented during pregnancy. Did not wear - highly unflattering
I rented this at about 28-29 weeks pregnant. Other reviewers mentioned it ran big and might be a comfortable maternity dress, so I ordered my pre-pregnancy size small.... which was still loose/large on me. This was too frumpy and unflattering to wear. I think it's about where the stripes fall - they made me look super wide across the boobs, "waist" and hips (aka everywhere). The quality and style are nice, but it just wasn't flattering on me/the bump. For reference, I am 5'4", pre-pregnancy hourglass shape with a defined waist / currently with a big-ish defined bump.

Comfortable, cute legging pant. Nothing special.
I agree with other reviewers that these are pretty much a legging with a pant-like facade (and I cannot believe the retail price on these!). That said, they are a slightly more formal option than regular leggings and add a viable option to an otherwise depleted pants-selection. They are comfortable, don't sag/slide down, and fit well in my normal size. I'm usually a 4/6 pre-pregnancy and rented the S.

Love them! So soft and the waist band is really comfortable.
These fit great in my normal size at ~27 weeks. They don't feel overly low or slide down like other maternity pants or apply too much pressure at the under the belly closure. The material is very soft. They are a true ankle pant, including on my relatively short 5'4" frame (so taller ladies might find them too short).

Super soft, but very low riders.
These were riding really low, although I think I am carrying low so maybe under the belly jeans just won't work for my 3rd tri. My regular size 27 fit on the legs but felt a bit uncomfortably tight on my 6+ month belly. They are very soft material and sleek black. The pair I received was new with tags. They were about 1 inch too long on me (I am 5'4").

Beautiful, breezy, compliments
Not exactly super fashion forward, but this dress is really pretty and easy. The fabric is silk, not synthetic, which elevates the look. It was easy to dress up or down on vacation and I received plenty of compliments. I wore this at ~5 months pregnant, so I ordered a size up (I usually wear a 4/6 and I ordered an 8). It was roomy & I probably could have worn my usual size. There was some bunching in the back (mostly because this is not intended to be maternity wear), but it still looked cute with the bump :-)

Dress made me feel sexy at 5+ months pregnant!
Love the high slit. Got tons of complements from my husbands and girlfriends. Fit is straight and somewhat narrow around the hips. I sized up since I'm pregnant. It looked best with a belt to flatter the bump. I styled it a few different ways with sweaters, heels, sandals, etc.

Very flattering & overall comfortable, over the bump waistband tends to ride down
I rented these at 18-20 weeks pregnant. These were a really flattering fit and very comfortable overall. The length was perfect (low ankle length) on me (I'm 5'4"). I like that they are a neat black jean (no rips or unfinished hem). I would have bought them except they felt like they were sliding down, which was annoying and hard to adjust given the over the bump waistband. I'll probably rent them again anyways when the weather gets cooler.

Serviceable work pant, nothing amazing.
I rented these at about 18-20 weeks pregnant. They run slightly large and tend to ease up with wear (not a terrible example of bagging out, but didn't 100% retain their shape either). Over the bump waistband didn't slide down as much as other over the bump options. I'm 5'4" and they were full length (not ankle length as show on the model). The material is VERY soft and comfortable. Note that they have back pockets and grommets like a jean would, but are a soft cloth fabric, so they would probably pass for the office, but would not be totally appropriate for a formal work environment.

Soooo unflattering
I rented this at about 18 weeks pregnant. I have a small bump, but haven't gained much weight elsewhere. (5'4", hourglass figure, size 4/6 pre-pregnancy). This dress was so unflattering EVERYWHERE - it gave me a huge uniboob, made my mid section look thick (but not emphasizing the bump in any cute way), and worst of all made my hips/butt look terrible. It was also relatively long, well below the knee, which is not flattering on me in this shape. I couldn't wear it out of my closet (didn't even show my husband).

Thin material, unflattering on hips/butt, sent back without wearing
I expected this to be easy and comfortable everyday dress. Unfortunately it was very unflattering on me, especially in the hips/butt/thighs. I have an hourglass figure (wider hips)... I haven't gained much weight in my butt and hips during my pregnancy, but this dress made it appear like I have. I'm 5'4" and it came down to below the knee, not a very flattering length in this case. The material is very thin and overall it looked cheap.

Cute & easy at 20 weeks pregnant
This was cute & comfortable, but not wow either. I really like the print and soft/light fabric. A lot of fabric on top and in the dolman sleeves. Very low cut - I would have needed to wear a tank if I had actually left the house lol. I'm 20 weeks pregnant and this was a nice change from everything stretchy. I usually wear a 4/6/S pre-pregnancy and the M fit fine.

Super cheap material - unlined 100% polyester
So cute in the photos online, such a low quality let down in person. I love the color and pattern but the poly material is terrible. The dress was way too long on me (5'4"). I'm 17 weeks pregnant, which you can't really tell in this dress. Probably bump friendly.

Cheerful tropical fun! Easy fit and style.
This dress is bright and cheerful and I love it. It's a casual material, but with the maxi length, color and print it definitely makes a statement. It's thick cotton material and it doesn't really require a bra, which is rarely the case for me. My only con is that the elastic on the arm holes is slightly tight and was a bit uncomfortable after a while. I am hourglass shape, usually wear a 4/6 and the small was perfect. 5'4".

I was not sure I would be into this denim boiler suit, but I ended up loving it! I
I rarely wear jumpsuits, because 1. I don't want to get naked to pee, and 2. I'm relatively long waisted and I'm not trying to have a frontal wedgie all day. Problem number 1 can't be helped. But I can happily say that #2 was not an issue here! Anyways this was really cute with the ruffles at the neckline and puff sleeves. Comfortable shape. The denim was warm, so no jacket needed, but not too hot either. I usually wear a 4/6 and the 6 was perfect.

If you have a curvy/hourglass shape, size up
I really like the style of these pants. Ultra high waist, painter-esque shape. Pale pink. However! They are not cut ideally for an hourglass shape. I have a small waist, wide hips and round bum. These were sooo tight across the hips and gave me a total pancake butt. I usually wear a 4/6 or 27. I ordered a 27, but I'd definitely need a 28 in order to sit down, for example lol. I will try again, as they are cute!

I wore this like 8 times at home
I love this material - beautiful pattern and so soft. The dress was very flattering for an hourglass shape. A bit too long on my 5'4" frame, but I am used to that with midi dresses. I wore this with flats and sandals. I'd love to wear this with many other outfits... boots, heels... it's very versatile. Ulla makes beautiful dresses with lovely details.

The puff sleeves and vibrant blue looked fun for video calls. The dress was a comfortable easy fit. It looked cute with sandals, flats, sneakers... Overall a comfy, cute casual look. I usually wear a 4-6 and ordered a 4 in this one. Fit perfect. So if you're between sizes, you can probs size down.

Quarantine approved
It's cute with sparkly stripes. Seemed like it would fit tight based on reviews, so I ordered a 42, which I think is a size up (I'm usually a 4-6). It fit nicely, not too big. A little itchy. Enough pizzazz for video calls.

Amazing fit. Jacket smelled like cigarette smoke.
Such a cute style and POWER fit. Really a huge bummer that the jacket arrived smelling like smoke. Overall, the item was pretty well-worn... time to retire this one RTR. I tried it on for the pic and then sent it right back without wearing. My first real RTR disappointment.

Didn't wear... soft enough for quarantine WFH if you want to feel a bit professional
I like the wide-leg style and soft fabric of these a lot. I usually wear a 4-6 and am a chronic sizer-upper, but I ordered a 4 based on review that said they're sized to the waist and not hip. Unfort, these were not accommodating on my hourglass hips... I would still say they're TTS as I am often between sizes. I am 5'4" and would wear these with 2+ inch heels. I still liked the style of these and if I have a chance to wear with heels, I'd try again, one size up.

Didn't wear, not particularly flattering...
I rented this for a somewhat casual work trip... but then we all got quarantined. I am a size 4-6 with an hourglass figure. I rented the M and I found the waistband pretty tight. So, this wasn't comfortable despite the stretchy fabric. I also found that it showed all the lumps and bumps unfortunately! Love the pleated flounce at the bottom! This skirt would look cute with shape wear and high heels, so it doesn't make much sense to wear given current circumstances...

Rented this for a work trip and then we all ended up #stayathome!! Made my video calls spiffy.
Very beautiful fabric and colors. I wore this with a tank, wideleg pants and...slippies, because quarantine WFH. Felt polished for video calls... I'm a 4-6 and ordered a Fr 40. It was fine but roomy. So... runs TTS-ish, but you can size up if that's what's available. One star off because the neck line is very wide open and I thought that looked bad with a crew neck, so I had to wear a lower cut tank top. I wish it had buttons or hooks to close the jacket.

High quality, gorgeous leather and style! Capacious interior. Considering buying :-D
Wow I love this bag! Style and quality are exceptional. It's spacious inside and can fit wallet, keys, sunglasses case, phone + random shiz we all carry. There's a chain to carry it on my shoulder or you can carry as a (large) clutch. Only con is that if you overload the bag it gets heavy and chain can dig into your shoulder. This goes with everything. I've been carrying nonstop for a few weeks. Tons of compliments + Bottega Veneta inspired style.

Volume! Color! Print! Compliments galore!
I had so much fun wearing this. I got a ton of compliments (men and women). My husband kept calling me Poison Ivy, which I'll take as a compliment lol. The neckline is actually too low for work (too much cleave), but I wore a turtleneck tank top one day and a black cami the other and it was perf. I'm usually a 4-6 and the small fit fine. It was a bit tight in the shoulders for me, but I have strong-ish shoulders. This is a tent/swing dress, so expect volume and an undefined waist.

Damn! Proenza knows how to make a unique & sexy dress!
I usually wear a 4-6 and ordered a 6. The 4 would have fit slightly better, so if you're in between sizes, you can probs size down. I'm 5'4" and it's practically a maxi. Cutouts can be cinched quite small so they're not that revealing. FYI it's impossible to tie the strings for the armholes without someone helping you. ALSO it's not actually leopard print, but abstract dots. I'm sad to return, but it's not work approps (cutouts)... I'll def rent again for a date or night out!

Fashion froot loop - in a good way!
First off, this is a good tent dress. Rent this if you're looking for voluminous shape. But obviously it doesn't have a defined waist... Second, it runs very large (you can tell in the arms/chest). I usually wear a 4-6, ordered a 2 based on reviews and it was still somewhat big! It's really cute for a warm day. I wore it with silver sandals, hoop earrings and a jean jacket when it got chilly later. I would also style it with metallic high heels, but I didn't have anywhere fancy to go... alas!

Laura Ingalls Wilder but make it fashun wench
I wanted to go #prariecore and this is definitely that. However, the fit of the bodice gave this too much barmaiden-wench vibes. I ended up not wearing this as I felt ridiculous. I ordered a 6 and RTR sent me a 4 (que paso?)... I usually wear a 6 in Ref, but the 4 fit ok as the back is stretchy/smocked. It was really form fitting and a lot of boobies and hence... the wench factor. Zipper is sticky. The elastic on the arms is really tight. Reformation quality is just not that good frankly.

This skirt is gorgeous! I would have bought it, but the knit is delicate and had a bunch of snags. Very versatile. I wore a variety of outfits with sweaters, tees, sneakers, boots, etc. Got endless compliments on this. Even a man at the airport shouting out that he liked my skirt!

Chic tuxedo vest style. Unique, beautiful buttons. Runs large.
Love the style of this chic tuxedo vest. It made a jeans and white tee look way cooler. I wear a 4/6 and the small was too roomy. I wouldn't have sized down as it fit around my hips, but just a lot of fabric around my midsection and arm holes. Since it didn't fit me totally right (and I'm impatient to order more!) I only wore it once. It could def be dressed up with statement earrings and high heels or boots... maybe velvet or leather leggings! Tough to find a jacket that worked.

Beautiful sparkly leopard print! Purposely oversized fit.
Loved the style and print of this blazer. The fabric is woven with gold shimmery thread that is very elegant - super easy to dress up or down. It's oversized but it's meant to be that way (for a French je ne sais quoi, you know?). The construction was maybe a bit too soft. Like when I put my phone in the pocket, the pocket would sag. That made it look less SHARP than I wanted. In any case, it was very comfortable and fun for work. I wear a 4-6 and I wore the 1/Small and it was plenty roomy.

Out of the bag, I thought this was nice but "just" a sweater dress. It totally grew on me! The fit was lovely: not tight through the waist and a soft A-line skirt. Very flattering and my husband said it was sexy. I love the purple-blue color of the stripes, subtle sparkle on the wrists and the soft knit. I wore it with tights and ankle booties to work. Then with knee high leather boots + black velvet blazer for class. I found this versatile to style. I would def rent again.
