Very oversized
This definitely isn't rigid denim. I didn't mind, it was super comfortable, but it was very oversized and I didn't buy for these reasons.

As a tall-ish girl with long legs, the leg length on this was actually perfect.

Perfect convenient handbag for everyday
I love this bag. Perfect casual color and silhouette for everyday. Great compact size and light enough to throw on the shoulder and forget you're wearing it. Thought about buying it but I recently bought another bag from Boss/RTR and need to chill.

Great option for larger bodied folks
I was surprised at how flattering this jumpsuit was on a larger body and how formal it was, however the regular was too short so I didn’t wear. Look forward to renting the long length for a future event.

Cute but not amazing
I love so many of Tanya Taylor's items (have bought 2 of her dresses after renting on RTR) but this dress was just ok. Ran large on me and the scoop neckline felt a little frumpy.

Teeny tiny straps, NO bust support or coverage
Wanted to love this--beautiful fabric and perfect colors for a fall wedding. However, the straps are teeny tiny with barely any adjustment and NO bust support or bra coverage. There was absolutely no world in which I could wear this out of the house and not get arrested.

This dress was cute and fine to wear out to a fancy dinner. Mesh top was a bit itchy; I personally wish the back was less revealing, but it fit well and was ok.

Weird fabric
Others have commented on the weird thickness of the fabric and I agree. The advantage is the stiff fabric provides more structure than your average sweater so this one looks good on camera. I wore it once to WFH; this could also be nice for work headshots or Instagram stories. As a sweater to wear in real life though, it’s not comfortable.

Very loose fit (even more so than the photos suggested), and this was just not flattering on me at all. I had rented for NYE (the velvet fabric is lovely, to be fair), and I ended up wearing my own clothes instead. This was a disappointment and a waste of a shipment.

I have several pairs of jeans in waist size 32 (and rented another pair size 32 this month from another brand that fit), but these ran incredibly small. Not "a little snug;" these were at least 2-3 sizes away from remotely fitting.

Fun for an at-home dinner date (COVID-19)
I love the floral skirt on this dress; the sweater-like top, less so. Was fine for an evening but the sweater part would have been itchy to wear all day. I wish RTR would carry more of Ted Baker's floral dresses; I think that's what the brand does best and the RTR selection is limited.

Great for working from home, would be more casual than I'd wear to the office.
I sized up and it was a nice relaxed fit, though I felt like the larger size combined with the pattern made me look bigger than I am. Comfortable sweater, warm but not too hot and not itchy.

Pretty dress, neckline a little low
I think Black Halo fits beautifully and I loved this dress for a pop of sunny color in February and March. The asymmetrical neckline is an interesting detail but gets little low on the left side; you'll need to take care to select the right bra, especially if you have a larger chest. I wore it to a couple work meetings and it was fine, I got several compliments, but wouldn't wear it to my most formal business events.

This jumpsuit was really unflattering on me; it was kind of a clown suit. It ran large, looked like a shapeless sack on me, and felt very '70s in a bad way--polyester without any sexiness. Did not wear.

Wanted to love this dress but found it just okay. It ties not just at the neck but also at the sleeves (I didn't notice this before renting) and that's a bit of a pain as they tend to come undone throughout the day. I also didn't love the material; it is a bit drab-looking but also not very warm. Overall not a terrible dress but a bit disappointing.

Cute dress, but the shiny material is too much for work and the cut is more conservative than I'd want for a fun date or night out. Would be perfect for a work party, but I didn't have one during the month I rented this. Didn't wear.

I'd hoped to be able to wear this to work with a blazer. It was wayyyy too low-cut for that, and the non-adjustable straps seemed really long, making it more uncomfortable to wear. The jumpsuit is cute and worked okay with a bralette underneath for a night out, but definitely wouldn't recommend for a professional event.

Waist and chest run small; I needed help zipping it up because it was so tight. Recommend sizing up. Once on, it was cute and reasonably comfortable. I got compliments from strangers at the concert I wore it to.

A beautiful dress; I got many compliments. The scoop neck is a little low for a work dress if you're trying to avoid cleavage. Also, on the dress I rented, the right sleeve arrived misshapen.

We went to dinner at a fine restaurant and saw Hamilton in Chicago.
The photo is deceiving--this looks like a light, cotton dress, but it is a heavy synthetic. Also, be aware that the cage-effect waist has a (white person) flesh-colored underlay. A pretty dress but less comfortable and fussier than I'd hoped.
