Cute but...
The elastic at the waist was twisted which drives me nuts. Otherwise it's a very pretty print, easy to wear.

Well made, substantial, flattering.
I didn't end up wearing because I couldn't find the right occasion. Very well made, flattering. Felt a bit too heavy when I was in New Orleans for an event and it was 85 degrees. The belt made it feel a little too dressy for everyday running around, but in hindsight I could've removed it. But I would rent again if I knew I had something to wear it to.

Really pretty, a little bigger than I wanted.
This is gorgeous but way larger than my normal purse. Too small for a travel personal item or laptop bag but so big I didn't really know how to fill it.

Shoulder pads are lumpy
This jacket is very chic but the shoulder pads are not sewn in well so they folder and move easily. It also runs small. It's supposed to be fitted, and I'm usually between a L and XL. Wearing the XL was pushing it, very close to too small to wear.

TINY!
I loved these but they are insanely tiny. I ordered my larger size and could not get them over my butt at all. They were new with tags, wash is beautiful but I'd size up two sizes.

A great statement piece, a little heavy but not at all unbearable, a little hard to get on but worth it.

Beautiful but challenging
This is gorgeous but not super functional. The button is really hard to undo, and the pockets aren't real which is so annoying.

Loved it, runs a little small.
This is a very polished, conservative look. I paired it with a short bodycon dress and loved it, but the arms were tight and a little short. It's also pretty thick so it was hard to style under coats.

Loved this so much.
Wore this 6+ times. So easy to style different ways, dress up or down, sneakers, heels, boots... it's also very flattering. The drape and pattern are forgiving. I've tried several other similarly shaped dresses recently and this is by far my favorite.

Beautifully made, but shoulders and pockets are a lot
This blazer is great, flattering, etc. I did really like it. I'm taking a star off because between the shoulders and the pockets, I didn't get quite as much wear out of it as I usually would a rental blazer. Also the color is a little too mid.

Nice length for the long legged ladies
I rented this as part of a last minute Halloween costume and got a second wear out of it. It's nice and long. Runs a little big in the waist, and I found the fastening a little flemsy, but overall it's a good piece.

Great jeans, did not find they ran large
These may have run large when they were NWT, but I always take a size up in Mother, and the first time I followed the advice of others and rented my standard size. They were too small. Next shipment I sized up to 32 and loved them. They're effortlessly cool.

Great craftsmanship, cozy, not itchy- but woof, did it shed. I made the mistake of wearing it to run errands and do a little shopping. I felt like I was leaving a trail wherever I went. Bring a lint roller.

Massive
This dress is really big. I was too scared to size down to a M in Misa because I thought it would be too short. But this dress swallowed me, and I'm a size 12/14. It's really cute, and if I'd had the right belt and black blazer or some kind of vest or cardigan to wear over it and make it an outfit, I would've rocked it. But I didn't, so it went unworn.

So Cute, So Short
I rented this as part of a very last minute Halloween costume. It is beautiful, well made, fun, but it's short. If you have any kind of butt and are 5'9" and above, the pleats look ridiculous. I didn't wear it. I did find the waist fit TTS.

Wanted to love, but weird fit
These pants are so close to perfect. Color and feel are beautiful. I’m a pretty true 31/12 in pants with slightly curvy hips and they were snug in hips but wearable. The weird part was the front rise- it was slightly baggy/ill fitting in a weird way. The rest of the fit was spot on, length was good. I rented them to test before the holidays… I might rent again for a festive look if I the right tunic length top.

Perfect size, just enough pop
These are so pretty and could dress up a white tee or be fine with a black tie outfit. Classic, just enough pop. I wouldn’t call them heavy (maybe a little for every day wear), they didn’t bother me at all. I do wish they had slightly longer studs or better backs. I’m always nervous of losing earrings like this from RTR.

Flattering, easy, sexy but covered
I love this top. I’ve rented it twice now and have worn it to work with a blazer, to a party, date etc. It’s very flattering and easy to style. I appreciate the long arms, but the material is also easy to push up for shorter ladies. 10/10, easy rental.

Elevated Summer Daytime
This dress is pretty, the fabric is weighty enough to make it more special than a basic sundress... great for a day at the Met then drinks at fancy hotel bars. It's not the most flattering on the tummy in images, but I didn't feel self conscious in person. It does run a little long in the shoulders and stretches at the top as the day goes on- I'm tall and towards the end of the day was worried about my bra showing.

So Easy, Cute but still very put together
This dress was too easy. I wore it for Mardi Gras Day. I wore it to work with a blazer. I wore it to dinner. It's super comfortable and very easy to accessorize. I'd loved to have purchased it, and while it was well made... the retail price is pretty high for the fabric. So I'll settle for renting again!

Love the print and weight of fabric
It’s been near 85 degrees where I am in late Oct and this top has been clutch. I can dress for the season without sweating all day. It looks chic for work or a night out. It’s very flattering. Love it. Will rent again.

Very pretty but not wow
I rented this via my subscription for a last minute event. I thought the top would make me self conscious of my broad shoulders but it is really flattering. It’s a pretty dress and worked for the event but just wasn’t a wow.

The best blazer
This blazer is gorgeous. It fit just right, made my waist look tiny, and I love the structure in the shoulders. It was a little heavier than I expected but worked just fine in office air conditioning.

This shirt is perfect for work or a night out. I wore it to work where I have to move a lot and was very comfortable all day. It was a little bit short on me but was fine with high waisted pants.

I LOVE this dress.
I wore this dress for a 16 hour work day. It was perfect. I could move my arms easily. It didn't stretch throughout the day. It was easy to style, and it was comfortable. And I got a ton of compliments. *it is short, and I couldn't have worn it with bare legs. If I worked in a traditional office I wouldn't have worn it to work even with tights. But it was so great for hospitality industry insane long day.

Perfect for work and play
The fit was flowy, the pattern fun. I wore this for fun on a very hot October day in New Orleans then was able to style it in a totally different manner for a much cooler work day. It's not the most flattering but it was fun, comfortable, and made me happy to wear.

So fun and surprisingly light!
I rented these as part of my unlimited subscription. They are a statement but not so much so that I couldn't wear them for multiple occasions. And they re surprisingly light weight making them fine for all day wear.

Little black tank with a twist
Classic silhouette with unexpected details. The ruffles at the bust and down the back are perfectly proportioned. The darts made it fit very well without a bra (I'd recommend sizing for anyone larger than a B cup).

Nice dress for an afternoon wedding
This dress was perfect for the occasion- 3:00pm Wedding in a Cathedral. It definitely runs small- I am a 4, sometimes a 2, and the 6 fit like a glove. It is a beautiful dress, it just wasn't exactly my taste and it was a bit restrictive for the reception.

Easy, fun dress
This was a no-brainer for a Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party at a New Orleans wedding. It didn't wrinkle, required minimal accessories, was great for dancing, and it had pockets. Fit was true to size, straps were a tiny bit big even on my tall frame. Would recommend for many occasions, and print is great for any time of year.

Pretty dress
This dress is easy to wear, requires minimal accessories, and looks good in pictures. The fit is true to size, and the arms were long enough to go past my wrists (which is not often the case for me). This dress is a good balance between modest and sexy, but at 5' 9" I wouldn't have been comfortable at the wedding ceremony (in a church) without tights. It also isn't the most comfortable dress and is definitely not conducive to dancing.

Great summer dress for work and play
I loved this dress even though it had some drawbacks. It was super easy to wear- perfect for a long work/errands/happy hour day. I struggle to find pieces that look seasonal, feel comfortable on a hot summer day, AND feel work appropriate next to a bunch of men in suits. The dress is structured just the right amount, length was professional, and I still felt feminine and comfortable. I have broad shoulders so I opted for the small. The shoulders were comfortable but the rest of the dress was a little large. There was also a large tag on one side of the belt that showed if you didn't tie it just right. But again, loved it and would rent again.

Beautiful, flattering, fun
This dress was totally out of my comfort zone but I loved it. I got more compliments than I've ever received on a dress. I wore the dress for a summer wedding and was comfortable from the late afternoon ceremony in the sun to dancing until 3:00am... so easy to wear, super flattering. The only drawback is that it does wrinkle easily, but with the pattern it really wasn't noticeable.

Kind of heavy, more marbling in blue stone than expected.
They worked well for a special event, but they were a lot heavier than I expected. I also expected more of a jewel-like appearance but they look much more like stone with marbling. I kind of liked it after putting them on. It made them feel more unique.
