Gorgeous pattern, well made, small fit issues
Loved this dress but the bust was SO tight. I added a thick belt over the waist line to hide some of the puckering that was happening in the chest. The fabrication is very high quality and the pockets are very convenient. Will rent again a size up

Surprised by how much I liked it on
I thought this dress would be a bit too girly for me but the fit really won me over. The waist hit perfectly and the flare of the skirt was so flattering. Wasn't wild about the flare sleeves and the smocking on the arms could get a touch itchy, but I loved how I looked in the dress and received several compliments, especially on the pattern. Don't think I'd rent again but was fun to try.

Lovely romper
Loved wearing this pattern. I would have felt more comfortable sized up in a 2 but the 0 worked, just a little tighter getting it off my shoulders. The tie waist is so flattering and the cuffs on the shorts made it feel more put together. Was a little on the short side (wouldn't have wanted anyone going up stairs behind me) but looked lovely and appropriate on. May rent again one size up.

I'm not like a *regular* mom, I'm a *cool* mom
I feel like this is what RTR is for -- testing out new fashion trends in a low risk way. These are definitely "cool mom" jeans, sadly I don't think I'm cool enough myself to wear these regularly. The pleats, tapering, and light wash ultimately wasn't for me but I LOVED the high waist and buckles. Fun to try. Will probably not rent again. Fit just as expected.

Glad I got to try it before deciding whether to buy
This is an item that I would've bought if I'd tried it on in the store, but I'm so glad I had the chance to wear it for a day because I'm the end I sent it back. Pros: gorgeous color, flattering and modern cut and style, comfortable Cons: any tucked in shirt shows through the skirt as bumps, stretched significantly during the day and didn't "tighten" back up, rode up consistently during my 1 mile walk to the office, but was slouching down my hips on the walk back.

Not quite right
The pattern and cut is modern, feminine and refreshing. The lightness was also lovely to wear during the summer. The fit was too loose, though, and the top I tucked in kept slipping out. Also, the fabric is SO thin that every bump, including the seams of the lining, shows through. Got several compliments, though!

Lovely
Beautiful print and ruched detail. The shoulder and arm holes are a touch on the small side but the whole shirt fits beautifully. Love how flattering it is on a small chest.

Beautifully made, lovely fabric, not right for my frame
Was really excited to get this item. It looks true to the photo and is very well made. I really love the navy and black color combination but ended up not wearing it because the way it hit my hips made my thighs look wide and my legs shirt. Would recommend for someone a bit taller

Great pants, odd fit
Really loved the color, light fabric, and quality construction of these pants. I found the fit odd. The waist was really large and I had to keep pulling it up, even with a belt. However, the ankle buttons were quite tight. The pants were very comfortable through the day and I liked the overall look of the blouses trousers. May rent again in a smaller size. Would not think these would work great for taller women.
