Nice, a little snug
As others have said, the barrel shape is subtle but stylish. These are nice quality but fit me a little more snugly than would have been ideal. Still, they were quite comfortable, wore them for a long day at a conference.

Cute and slouchy
This is a nice sweater for a slouchy but stylish look. Lots of pretty colors to use when styling and light enough to be a spring sweater. I wore both with jeans and also with a skirt to church.

Pretty but a little standard
Very pretty but nothing too special. It is quite thin (not lined) so either expect to wear in warm weather or with some thick tights. Lots of pretty colors in the print so can be styled in many ways. Good skirt to dress up or down.

Gorgeous color, comfy
Comfortable sweater dress that was a gorgeous color and a little more forgiving on the figure than many sweater dresses. The little buckles on the side are a nice detail. I wore this on an early flight to a work conference and throughout a long day, and I was quite comfortable for the duration. It was warm but not overly thick.

Sweater perfection
This sweater is special, gorgeous, versatile and ultra flattering. I wore it with jeans and dressed up with skirts. I loved it so much I bought it and I really don’t think you can go wrong with this one!

Versatile and a step above
I wore this skirt so much, and it was extremely versatile. I wore it to church, to Thanksgiving, to work, to a Christmas party, etc. The material is wonderful and buttery; not too heavy, nor too flimsy. The color is a lovely cranberry that is great for a festive season. If I had one complaint, it is that the belt tends to sag after awhile so I often had to retie to tighten it. But this was a minor issue in an overall great piece.

Nice but nothing special
This dress was very comfortable and nicely made, but it wasn’t particularly flattering or memorable. The liner was also extremely short, which felt a little bit annoying to me on such a long dress.

Snap top, really?
I love Madewell pants and these, like others, fit extremely well. But the top button was not a button at all, it was a snap! It seemed odd to me, like a snap belongs more on little kids’ pants. Even though the pants fit well and were not too tight, the snap came undone constantly as I moved around or sat down. It was pretty annoying. While the cut was cute and casual, it was not nearly as flattering as some other Madewell jeans I have rented/bought.

Beautiful and special
This skirt was just gorgeous. The gold sheen made it ideal for festive holiday events. I sized down, as recommended, and it was still quite loose in the waist. It did look best with a belt, though, so the waist wasn’t a huge issue. Overall, a stunning piece that didn’t wrinkle and felt very high quality.

So pretty, a little poofy in chest
Such pretty fabric, beautiful colors. The bodice fit was a bit off, with lots of poofiness in the chest area, not in the most flattering way. Quite comfy but not a big winner for me.

Easy style
Great dress; comfortable and flattering. Wore alone or paired with a thin belt. Wore it to travel and while biking around Copenhagen, and it was so comfortable but I still felt stylish.

Stylish but not the most flattering
My teenagers both thought these pants were very cool, but I felt the fit was a bit strange and unflattering in the waist/front area. I rented a similar pair of Marisa Webb paper bag trousers last year, which I thought fit much better. I wore these, but didn't love them.

Beautiful and special
Such a beautiful and special skirt. I wore it for Easter and maybe one other time. Both times I received many compliments. Loved it but it would have been nicer if it had a liner. I paired it with the cardigan on the model, which was also very nice.

Nice but fairly standard dress
I wore this for my sister's wedding where the bridesmaids were meant to be wearing different colors to create a "muted rainbow" effect. It was very comfortable for the whole day, but I didn't get many compliments so I think it must have just been okay.

The skirt is lovely but it was far too big. I wore it once to church but it was too much hassle to make it work more than that.

I rented the matching shirt and ended up buying it last year. Couldn’t resist buying the skirt once I rented it. So comfortable, high-quality material, very flattering. The pieces are great together or separately.

Cute style but not the most flattering
I really loved the style but I didn’t feel like it was that flattering, especially around the waist. I felt like adding the belt was crucial, but maybe it would have worked without if I went up a size. It was also a little short for my taste, though it worked fine for me with dark tights and boots.

A little demure, a little sexy
My husband called this a sexy milkmaid dress and then told me I should buy it. It is so pretty and flattering, but the wide neckline makes it a little flirty and fun.

More Princess Kate
I rented another dress just like this (blue) and I thought this one looked like a fall-toned version. The colors are much brighter and spring-like than they appear in the photos, so it felt a little out of season. But the dress itself is lovely, though I preferred the blue version.

I loved this so much. Sleeves were a tiny bit shorter than ideal, but I do have fairly long arms. It was a perfect autumn jacket in New England.

High quality sweater dress
Beautifully made and very high quality sweater dress. It didn’t show every bump and curve, but I actually saw it on a friend who is a bit more curvaceous than I am and I think it looked much better. This size fit but did feel a little snug.

I would never have dared to buy these, so thanks for making me a little daring, RTR! My preteen thought I looked so cool, and they were comfortable and flattering. I took them on a trip to London and was so glad to have them because they felt more stylish than my usual jeans.

Holiday at the cabin
This dress is comfortable, flattering and very cute. Wore it to Thanksgiving and a Christmas party, and it definitely has a “holiday at the cabin” vibe. Got so many compliments and decided to buy it when RTR was running a big Black Friday sale. I am sure I will come back to it around the holidays every year!

Fabulous dress
Extremely flattering and such pretty print/colors. I loved and would definitely keep my eye out to buy down the road. I ended up having to wear this on an extremely delayed flight and it was comfortable enough to not make me crazy. Just wish the sleeves were elastic for a little extra comfort.
