Photos Appear Rose Gold Hardware
Based on the photos, I rented this specifically to go with a dress that had rose gold grommets. Disappointed it is, in fact, yellow gold. I understood the purse would be tiny when I rented so I was ok with the micro size and style. It's not as chic with gold tone though imo.

A little too sexy for office; a little too binding for casual
I love all things Proenza and this is a high quality dress as expected. I loved the chic casual vibe; but the very form fitting silhouette was a little too sexy on my full hips. Just wasn't the look I was going for on such a casual piece. I might try again when I drop my winter 10 (lbs.)

Nice enough. Not flattering on me
I rented these pants as a possible warm climate vacation piece. They look stylish for a casual affair and I'm sure they are comfortable to wear; but the thin material would not conceal my thigh problem areas without shapewear, which defeats the purpose of the ease and comfort I was hoping for. I sized up thinking the excess pleating would be adequate; but that did not work for me.

Nothing bad to say about this jacket. Just not my personal style.
I loved another Slate & Willow moto jacket so much from RTR that I purchased it. This one was the same great quality and beauty; and I wish it had been my style. I was hoping to add some edge to floral, ruffle dresses; but it is a very tomboy moto look lacking the bit elegance I would personally require to pull it off. It looked incredible on my daughter. If it had been her size, I would have kept it for her.

Pretty But Not As Good Quality As It Looks Online
I wanted a burgundy long coat and this one has pretty teal accent woven through it. The fur collar adds a bit of dressiness the coat needs because without it, it is a very, very plain. However, the fur was just too much bulk for me and the quality overall was lacking and noticeable in person.

Not Your Standard Blazer
I was impressed with the quality, weight, and style. Interesting tie feature instead of button up. The formality is nice for lots of different occasions and styling. On my pear shape, it would have been more flattering if it would have been possible to tightened the ties under the bust more.

I loved wearing this beautiful turtleneck tee. I think the color and pattern is interesting and flattering and the fabric is very smooth and comfortable. Hope to rent again in the future. Was tempted to purchase.

Remarkable Dress
My favorite designer. This dress has great detailing and a unique sophisticated print. A pear shape has room to alter the degree of modesty and appropriateness so the dress can be enjoyed for many occasions. Love to wear with designer knee-high boots that the high side slits show off elegantly.

It's wonderful to find a dress that is both casual and classy. Worn everywhere from work to vacation and is a three-season dress with the right styling.

You will be noticed in this beautiful red dress. Wore it to two unforgettable formal parties and a night of upscale bar crawling in three different cities. Will rent again if possible.

A full size too small
Skin tight and could not even fasten. Total fail. I had to look at the tag to make sure I didn't get the wrong size.

Accentuates hips
Beautifully designed and patterned dress...for someone else. The horizontal pleats at the hips are constricting and over-exaggerated the area, which is the opposite effect I desire. The top was altogether saggy and irredeemable for my pear shape. I would need to have it taken up in the shoulders about 2" to fit properly.

Beautiful dress. Wish it had fit my pear shape
I think this is a beautiful dress in design, length, pattern, and color. I would love to own it; but it would need quite a bit of alteration for a pattern I fear won't be in fashion long enough to justify the expense. There was a lot of gaping under the arms and the hip was slightly too snug. I did wear it once all day and evening.

Wanted To Love
Pretty pants and I liked them from the front; but they were too baggy in the back. Made me look like I was wearing a diaper at the end of the day. I was drawn to them because of their stylish nature; but I prefer a more slimming effect in the rear. The wrinkling seersucker fabric was not aesthetically neat nor attractive and did not make me feel confident or classy at work or going to dinner. As far as fit, the size was perfect for my pear shape that has a slimmer waist than hip proportion.

Very pretty; but too high maintenance
I thought this was flattering to my figure and even toyed with purchasing it. However, peplum and pleats combined with the pink polka dot print was a little too babydoll on me; and the idea of ironing all those intricate details over and over made this more effort than it was worth in the end.

Makes Me Feel Young & Flirty
Kate Spade is my favorite designer and this dress fit my proportions like it was custom made. Love the color and style; is flattering to my complexion and body shape. It's both sexy and sweet while totally work appropriate for my office. Fabric is lightweight and does not wrinkle. It’s the PERFECT dress for me!

Very Nice Dress
A beautiful, on-trend pattern and very good quality. It ran very large at the top and fit perfect at the hips on my pear shape. Would love to purchase; but 2-3 inches would have to be taken up in the shoulders because the fabric just sags down to the waist. I'm afraid the color combo won't stay in fashion long enough to justify the expense. I might try to go down one size.

Boxy. Beige; not pink
Made of weighted, high-quality fabric. It's more boxy on my frame and doesn't drape as flatteringly as I had hoped. Color is beige with a pink undertone; not true pink as photo depiction.

Pretty pattern and dress design. Fit was simply acceptable for my pear shape. It's a one time wear for me.

Stunning look; but uncomfortable for a teenager who does not normally like to dress up.
I rented this for my 17yo daughter. I must say I feel the jumpsuit looked just as good on her as the website model and she received a lot of compliments on her look the evening she wore it. However, she normally wears a size 0-2; but the 4R was still too tight and short-waisted. Though no one was the wiser, she was quite miserable with the fit for the majority of the evening. In addition, she was unable to zip up the back on her own so it would have been necessary for me to assist her in the bathroom had she needed it.
