Gorgeous and so fun
I loved it! I wish I’d gotten a photo of it, but I absolutely loved the way it felt and looked.

Cute but too tight for big boobs
I can tell this would look great if my chest was slightly smaller, but it wound up just looking awkward.

Swishy and excellent for summer
I loved these pants very much—and desperately needed summer clothes—so I wound up buying when RTR had a sale happening. (That said, I probably wouldn’t have bought if there wasn’t a coupon code at the time.) They fit beautifully and are incredibly comfy, though the slits are *very* high so wearing them at work felt a little tricky at times. Also, the tie was a bit ragged, but after I purchased them I snipped the bit of excess stringy-ness that was hanging off. All in all, definitely a fan.

Loved so much I wound up buying!
I needed lightweight clothes for the mega-hot NY summer we’re having, and I also recently gained a bit of weight, so I just wanted to feel comfy in a set that fit well and had a bit of shape to it. I wish I’d gotten a better shot of the pants! But the top and bottom look so good together, I can’t recommend renting these enough.

Loved so much I wound up buying
I love the way this set looked and felt. I wore it with a tank underneath for work and on its on for my partner’s bday and the Fourth of July. SO comfy in the summer, even during the horrible heat wave New York was having when I first rented!

Fit TTS but stretch quickly
I loved how these looked when I first put them on! They’re super cute, but throughout the day they started to sag a bit. :(

Comfy, vibrant vacation dress
I wanted something special to wear to dinner while in Cape Cod with my partner and am so glad I picked this dress. It fit TTS and was very comfy, even after I ate a huge dinner. I could’ve gone braless (which is virtually never the case for me) but thanks to hormones, I wound up needing a strapless sticky bra for a bit of extra comfort/support. This dress is amazing, I can’t recommend renting it enough.

Polished and crisp!
This was perfect for work and lightweight enough to wear in the summer. It maintains its sleeve shape nicely and looks lovely tucked into pants/skirts or untucked.

Comfy and a little warm
I wish the waistband was thicker and not just elastic, but it was pretty obvious from the product photos that it had a thin-to-medium elastic waist, so I can’t really complain. I love the structure of the fabric, which feels comfy, though if I rented again, I would wait until a cooler season since it’s a bit too warm for summer.

I’ve worn this at least 10x
I’m obsessed with this blazer and have worn it no fewer than 10 times, including (but not limited to) a wedding, a fancy restaurant, friend hangouts, dinner dates with my partner, and the office. It fits so nicely and looks great over t-shirts, tanks, and dresses.

Shockingly comfortable
This dress looks like it’d be heavy or stiff, but it’s the opposite. It’s so lightweight and felt incredibly comfortable, and while I didn’t wind up wearing it (I went with another rental option), I could tell it would’ve draped and photographed beautifully, so it was a close runner-up. I do recommend sizing down if you’re right between sizes.

Beautiful, with one caveat
I love this gown—it’s so simple and pretty! That said, I didn’t wind up wearing it because there was a strange/awkward extra bit of fabric that stuck out around my upper underarm.

Just as beautiful as the photos
I am a sucker for Selkie, so when I was picking options for a wedding, I snapped up this dress as soon as it was available. I didn’t wind up wearing it, but only because of logistics—I always recommend checking the bathroom situation at any venue beforehand! This has such a full skirt and it would’ve made using a narrow stall very, very difficult. That said, the gown fit beautifully, and every element is just as gorgeous IRL as in the product photos.

Adjustable straps are a godsend
I wound up wearing this for multiple occasions—it’s so comfortable and pretty. I wound up wearing a Skims bandeau, which actually looked good with this (unfamiliar territory for someone who wears a 32E)! The adjustable straps made a huge difference; I didn’t wind up with gapping or that awkward puffiness/extra fabric around my underarms that sometimes happens.

Trust the reviews: this isn’t great
Why, oh why, didn’t I listen to the reviews that said this dress is awkward on anyone with a moderately large chest? My bra size is deceptive in that it sounds large (32E) but, without getting all TMI about it, my chest’s shape tends to be on the flatter side of things, so smaller-busted garments usually fit me. This…this did not. It looked so weird, I couldn’t even bring myself to take a photo. If you’re debating this gown and aren’t sure if you’ll be an exception, I’d recommend just skipping this one unless you have a very small chest!

Wore it with a fancy gown
This blazer looks amazing with everything, particularly the embroidered strapless dress I wore for a wedding.

So comfy and so stunning
This skirt looked so, so good no matter what I paired it with. I wish I’d taken photos! But, in case it helps anyone: my waist is 28” and hips are 36”, and I rented a size 6.

Gorgeous w/ a perfect amount of stretch
So beautiful! I was nervous because my regular size (6R) wasn’t available, so I had to get a slightly smaller than usual size *and* the longer length (I’m 5 foot 6.5 inches). Surprisingly, the 4L fit perfectly and looked awesome with a blazer and platforms. That said, I wouldn’t recommend getting the longer length unless you’re above 5’7” or willing to wear quite tall shoes.

Even prettier in person
It’s such a gorgeous dress—I wore it to a summer wedding (along with an oversized blazer for the cooler evening temperature) and got compliments all night. I did find it was a bit big around my chest, which was surprising because it was a 4, which is size smaller than my typical size 6, but I wound up wearing one of those goofy-looking sticky strapless bras with a bit of padding (purchased at target for like $15) and it evened things out perfectly. I didn’t need to tug it up all night, unlike basically every other strapless dress I’ve ever worn.
