Everyone at work loved this coat
This coat looks great on everyone. It fit me super well. The sleeves were the perfect 3/4 length. A number of women at work also wanted to try it on. It also fit someone 5 inches shorter than me super well... AND it fit one of our pregnant coworkers really well too. Truly versatile coat. Super well made.

Well made, but not for tall ladies
This dress was gauzy and well made. I'm 5'9" and the waistband of the dress hit too high. It was a super awkward fit and I couldn't lift my arms at all because (1) the waistband was right underneath my bust and (2) the waistband had no give so it felt like I couldn't breathe.

Best bag ever (perfect size, perfect material, perfect color)
This is the nicest handbag I've ever "owned". I got this as part of my Unlimited membership and it's made the monthly cost well worth it. This is a gorgeous bag that I could never afford in stores. I almost don't want to send by back! It's so perfect. It fits my phone, wallet, keys, and chapstick. All I need on the weekends!

Well-fitting, well-made, heavy enough for cold & rain
I loved this dress. I rented it for Valentine's Day dinner with my husband. The top fit super well and looked great. The waistband actually sat above my natural waist, but this was ok, as it hid the fact that I pigged out during dinner. The length was a little longer than expected. I wore this with heavy boots, but it would have looked better with strappy sandals. Loved the pockets. Material was heavy enough to wear in Portland where it was very cold and rainy.

Wore multiple times -- so awesome
I'm 5'9" and this sweater hit me just below the seat of my pants. It wasn't long enough that I felt comfortable wearing leggings under it to work, but it was long enough that I was happy with wearing tight jeans.

Loved the look, a little tight in the hips
I loved this coat! I was unique and looked great with jeans for work. It was a little tight in the hip area for me, but I don't think I would have sized up due to the way the body is cut. Would definitely rent this again.

So unique, fun, and warm!
I LOVE this coat. It's so unique! When I wear it, I feel like I'm wearing something truly special. The pockets on the front are perfect for warming hands when walking to work on a cold morning. It looks great with or without the hood / scarf attachment. I love it!

Just a tad too small for a laptop
I had such high hopes for this bag. I own several other Rebecca Minkoff bags so I was super excited to rent this for work. However, it was a little smaller than expected. My laptop would only fit in sideways, and stuck up over the top. The handles were too short, so it couldn't be worn as a shoulder bag. Definitely not a good choice for work.

HOT!!!
I have never worn a jumpsuit before and this was HOT. Fabric was thick and fully lined. No chance of panties showing through like with other white pants. The waist of the peplum top hit me at my natural waist. The pants were very roomy in the hips (perfect for my wide hips). There is a bit of stretch in the fabric so you can sit and move around. The bodice worked well for my smaller chest (wore a bra even though I didn't need to). Straps were prefect length.

Swoon-worthy
The fabric is so pretty in person. It's slightly textured which makes the light blue, darker navy, and gold accents stand out. I rented the 2L, which was long on me because I decided to wear flats. The front hit below the knee and the back draped on the ground. The sheer paneling on the side started at mid-thigh and it was very subtle in person. Very tight in the bodice area, so this might not be a good choice for larger chested individuals. Loved the racerback cut -- made my arms look great.

Not for small chested ladies
I had to send this dress back. There was no way I could get it to stay up. If you are smaller than a C cup, I don't think this is the dress for you. (Also, major problems with the zipper. No matter how hard we tried, my husband could not get the zipper to move up past past the waist band.)

Love this cut
I rented a similar tuxedo jacked from this designer a few months ago. I saw that this one had faux leather sleeves and I have to rent this as well. It was soooooo cute over a white jumpsuit for my company's holiday party. The back is cut high, which works well for dresses or peplum cut tops. The size 2 (that I wore before) wasn't available so I got the size 4. I couldn't really tell the difference between the 2 sizes and it fit well.

Glad this was a rental
Super glad I got to try this skirt. I've seen this skirt in fashion blogs before and wanted to try it. It was way too long on me. If this weren't a rental, I would have had it hemmed about 3 additional inches higher. The length as it was hit me lower than mid calf and it was just not flattering. Definitely size up when renting.

The pattern was super cute and the clutch was a good size... BUT, the material itself was super pokey and made it hard to hold the clutch.

Draped very well
I didn't end up wearing this dress. The fabric was heavier than expected and draped well. There was something odd about the neckline and it just wouldn't sit centered.

PERFECT!!!
This dress looked so good on me! It was the perfect length for me to wear flats. The neck was beaded so I didn't have to wear a necklace. The fit was loose through the middle so I could gorge myself on food. The sheer panels were just right to add a bit of drama. The dress flows when you walk and it was so gorgeous.

Simple and perfect
This designer got simplicity right. This dress is deceptively simple... but the cut is amazing. The fabric is a little thicker (so it hides imperfections), it has a bit of stretch (so it's forgiving for sitting and dancing), and the neckline is the perfect depth (shows just a little to be interesting, but not so much that it's not classy anymore). I loved this dress.

LOVED this necklace!
I wish the purchase price were a little lower. I would totally buy this necklace. It goes with everything. I wore it to work with jeans and a cotton blouse. I wore it out over the weekend with a fancy dress. Beautiful in person. Not too chunky and sat flat against my neck so it didn't bulk out my jackets.

Cute, but not my style
Renting bags like this one is the reason I love Rent the Runway. I'm able to try new styles without regret! The bag was well-made but definitely not my style. I wanted to rent it to try out the quilted bag look and I am so happy this was a rental and not a purchase. :)

Fun for summer
The dress was flowy and fun. There was only one odd thing and that was one of the panels on the bottom was not hemmed. It almost looked like RTR was shortening the dress, but forgot to finish one side. No one could tell once it was on though. Would definitely rent this again.

This tote was amazing. I really wish I had kept it when I got it as part of my Unlimited shipment. It's structured and big enough for work (laptop, notebooks) and play (all the stuff I lug around on the weekends). Has feet on the bottom and that adds a little extra touch. The color is awesome.

Sleek for Work
The cut was perfect. Super sleek and looked awesome at work. The only reason this jacket doesn't get 5 stars is what happens after you sit at a desk all day -- the back hem of the jacket gets horribly creased because of the slightly extended length. But regardless, it still looked great from the front.

Goes great with dresses
It was short in the back, which was a surprise. Looked really great with dresses that didn't have an elastic or defined waist (otherwise the jacket would hit about 3-4 inches above the waistline). It paired well with a sweater dress for work and a strapless summer dress for a weekend date.

A small bit of sparkle for a lot of polish
I didn't end up actually wearing these with any outfit. They were a little too much for work and I never managed to work them into an evening outfit... BUT... these earrings were awesome. There was a little movement and there was a little sparkle at the tips -- just enough to catch the light. Kind of wish I had kept them longer...

Runs HUGE in body and sleeves
I didn't wear this jacket at all during my rental due to the fit. The sleeve diameter was huge throughout the entire sleeve of the jacket, making me look like I was wearing something a gazillion sizes too big for me. The body of the jacket also ran big. Overall, the fit was just totally wrong. The material of the jacket is nice and drapes well. This jacket might have worked if I had ordered 2 sizes down.

So much fun!
I wore this to work because I was tired of walking around the office going from meeting to meeting carrying a bunch of stuff in my hands. I put just my phone, pens, and notepad into the bag and wore it tight around my waist (almost like a belt). It was adorable and I got a ton of compliments. On the weekend, I wore it around town a little lower on my hips (like a more traditional fanny pack). The bag is the perfect size for a small wallet, phone, and pair of keys.

Classic, goes with everything
I wore this necklace almost every day I had it as part of my Unlimited order. It didn't quite sit right when worn with a collared shirt for work. It looked best paired with crewneck dresses / tops / cardigans. Added a lot of polish to my weekend outfits for sure. May be problematic for folks who have slightly thicker necks to get on and off. I have (what I would consider) a fairly slim neck and the necklace opening was a little tight when putting it on and taking it off.

Beautiful details, well-made , baller
I ordered a size 40 because it was the only size available when I was selecting items for my Unlimited order. The website says a size 40 is a US 6, but I normally wear a size 2 (in J.Crew blazers) and this jacket was snug. Definitely runs small. The jacket feels rich and it's fully lined. I wore it over a dress to a spring BBQ and it was a little too warm during the day but perfect once the sun started to set. It was by far the nicest item in my closet for the 2 weeks I kept it as a part of my Unlimited shipment.
