Just okay
Nice material, good fit but a bit frumpy looking. Spot or money better used elsewhere. Cute cuffs though

A little short
Comfy and cute - nice and puffy, but would have liked it a bit longer and belt could have been a bit more forgiving

Didn't wear
I wanted to love this dress but it did not work for my body type. Are usually do well with any size 14 RTR item, however, this one didn't do the trick for me.

Cute and comfy
Love the tapered sleeve as it adds a bit of "tailoring" to the stretchy slinky fabric "look". I have not worn this to work yet but will put a Cami underneath when I do. Super comfy & looks really great on.

Liked it a lot
Great fit (sorry for the crappy photo); quality lace, no snags; gave 4 stars b/c it made me feel and look a little busty with the ruffle positioning but that's not the shirts fault! LOL. Would recommend regardless!

Can't believe I forgot to photograph!
Everything about this top is perfection. I can't believe I forgot to photograph it! It was beautifully structured and was a nice expensive feeling material! Love the button and pleated details and the two-tone black and navy blue combo. Will definitely rent again!

A sexy Christmas party success
Super flattering material (scuba)! All the right types of cleavage however, I did end up pinning the straps a little higher for added coverage for my full bust. Photos don't do the dress justice because it has some really cool extra seam details that are very hard to see. My favorite part about this dress was that it had some extra little "puckers", for lack of a better word, built-in right at the hips so it perfectly contoured my thick thighs & they were disguised, but was still super comfortable! I would recommend this dress but beware of showing a lot of "top boob!"

One of my favorites!
Nice heavy material but not hot. Perfect length (not "boxy") & I LOVE the slits on the sides. The bell sleeves and adorable keyhole back make this so much more than just another black top! The keyhole back is NOT so low that you can't wear a bra, so that was a major plus for me! I'll probably buy it!

Through thick and thin
Nice thick material but not hot. And very slimming! It pulled a little bit across my bust when all hooks were hooked (the deep v can be converted to a "buttoned up" look with 3-4 hook & eye closures) so I kept it unhooked and layered a black cami underneath. Beware - the belt comes packaged separately (so I missed it & assumed it was just forgotten with my order). Really wish I had paid more attention to the belt in the separate bag! Loved the peplum style as it was not too short like some peplum looks are. The shirt still had a nice length & it is beautifully structured! Will definitely rent again!

Leopard cords
These pants are true to size but do not have much stretch to them for corduroys. I love the pattern, the colors and the texture of these pants but they may not be the best overall look for me as I have bigger thighs. They are slightly low rise versus being higher wasted so they are not particularly "muffin top friendly" either. I kept experiencing a little bit of "fabric gathering" right below my knees which might make the pants look like they're a little too tight on me, but they really did fit okay.

Favorite rental ever
This is my favorite dress I have ever rented from RTR. The XL fit perfectly (5'5, 170, Usual size 14 top/34 DDD/F & Usual size 12/14 bottom). Dress hem line falls lower (below knee) than I expected - it fits somewhere in between below the knee and calf length for my height (5'5). LOVE the raised/mock turtle neck & the prominent gold zipper up the back. The V neck line is a little deep in the front (cleavage shows) but a cami would give more coverage for daytime if you need it! Great day-to-night item!

Loved the colors!
Nice silky material. Can be dressed up or worn with jeans. Great day/evening top. I was a bit worried that the arm pit holes might be too big/hang too low - but the top fit great. I'm a 34 DDD/F & the 14 was perfect. The bold colors (and the touch of light peach/pink in the inner most part of the diamond patters) worked great with the mustard colored Tory Burch pants I rented in hopes of pairing with this top. The pants & shirt worked very well together. The shirt is flow-y & great for a full bust ... it fit nicely and I didn't feel (or look) like I was wearing a maternity shirt.

Great color & texture
Loved the quality and overall feel of these pants. Thick material but breathable. Material is stretchy so the pants have a sort-of elastic-y feel (and they feel kind of slick to the touch, which was pretty cool). The deep rich mustard color is great for fall. Loved the tapered leg. I'm 5'5 & the length was perfect. RTR sz 14 items usually fits me perfectly, but I could have gone with a 12 in these pants since they do have some stretch. I have slightly larger thighs & these pants were very slimming in that area. Will rent again!

A picture is worth 1,000 words!
I absolutely loved the look and feel of this dress. Heavy material but not "hot". One of the wedding photographers told me my outfit was the best outfit at the wedding (which took place at a gorgeous historic venue in downtown Los Angeles) and she went on to say this was actually her "favorite wedding outfit she had ever seen." I am regularly a size 14 and the 14 W fit more loosely then I had hoped (more like a 16), but I used double-sided stick fashion tape to create more of a waste for myself (and I taped it from the inside.) If you're worried about this dress fitting to loosely because its a wide - dont! Go with fashion tape and/or safety pins as the Cape (!!!) covers any finagling you might have to do! You definitely could NOT tell I had taped the dress because the beautiful cape style panels hanging down the back (the same cape that totally made me feel like a superhero!) were perfect for covering it up. I will rent this dress for every wedding I attend from here on out! I absolutely loved it!

10 out of 10
These earrings were lightweight enough weight to be very comfortable all evening despite their size. I received tons of compliments on them and some people were very surprised to learn that RTR does jewelry as well! Loved them!
Brutalist Stone Wire Earrings

Beautiful but slightly awkward fit.
This piece is bold, but is still very delicate looking and elegant. Nice combination of gold/silver &!darker colored metals. Great amount of sparkle. Nice and wide (which was the look I was going for), but it fit quite small for a cuff style bracelet. It was almost like it was too "short" - so it did not wrap far enough around the wrist (at the back/bottom of the wrist) which resulted in the piece being slightly 'off-kilter' for most of the evening. I was actually afraid to lose it as a result of the awkward fit, so I used a very fine chain bracelet that I already owned to create a safety chain for it.

Flattering unique jumpsuit
*Raspberry color. NOT RED* Sorry for the cut off photo - A friend snapped this while trying on but I forgot to take a pic the day I wore to work. I accessorized with a thin gold belt, gold jewelry & tan pumps. I was very pleased with the overall fit of the jumpsuit. The regular length was perfect for me, at 5'5, to wear with 3.5" heels. I don't think I would have liked higher heels with the R but they would have worked well with the L. The fit through the waist & the fit of the bust were both quite comfortable.

Annnnnnd that's a wrap, ladies!
Love the light weight silky material. The color is pure perfection. Sleeve puffs have enough structure to stay "standing up" on their own. Overall length of top is good for high waisted pants or pants that sit on hips, even if you have a larger bust. I added a black v-neck cami to convert to 'work appropriate' as the girls were clearly on full display - but this would be a great after work look! Beware trying to wear w/o a cami, if you have a large bust. Most definitely will rent again!

Classic, fun & flirty
I loved everything about this dress. Nice thick material, deep rich navy color. Great fit! Loved the subtle "high-low" hemline & neck line. Sleeve length was perfect. Not too tight in the arms. Dress had some overall stretch to it but held shape nicely. Will ABSOLUTELY rent again!

Too small :-(
A sexy, short, sparkly number but the XL was too tight through both the belly and arms for me (Im normally a sz 14). I got it zipped but just wasn't comfortable in it. I totally would have worn & loved it if they had a 2X! (Dress has a great lining inside so sequins won't scratch you!)

It was true love.
I think I was the first person to rent/receive this shirt to wear as it felt brand, brand, new! I loved that fact, but it was a bit snug. Maybe it would have been more "broken in" if others had worn before me...? The large fit me more like a medium, but I do have a larger bust. I loved the bell sleeves, and the snuggly material (although the material was a tad thin - you would likely want a cami underneath). Color was a truly beautiful 'winter white'. I chose this sweater specifically to wear with/over a different RTR sleeveless shirt I rented for Thanksgiving, in hopes it would work well as an "outfit" - and it DID. The combo felt like true "stylistic" perfection. The overall look of the two tops combined made me feel like a super-model when paired with leather leggings & knee-high leather boots!

Thankful for this sexy top on Thanksgiving!
This top was totally bad a**! It felt amazing and fit like a dream. I paired it with black leather leggings for my family's Thanksgiving feast and will absolutely rent again!

Great dress - too big on me
A great twist on the traditional "LBD." Loved the a-symmetrical neck line. After reading other reviews I sized up, but should not have, so I didnt actually get to WEAR the dress. :-( I'm a 14 & should have stuck with a 14 vs. ordering a 16. Would rent again in my size as the material was great & the length was perfect for work ... it was just too big in the belly area. Love that it has "darts" (in my opinion, the darts make the dress appear more tailored & work appropriate work).

Want to buy! It was true love!
This dress make me feel like a rockstar. It may have been a little low cut for the office, but I wore it anyway! Received so many compliments and the overall appropriateness of the length made up for the slightly revealing scoop neck. The quality of the material was fantastic although it looked like it may have had an "unfinished" bottom hem; or that the original stitching for the hemline came undone and was never repaired. I will most definitely rent this again (but would get the 14), and will probably purchase it next time around! Truly could have gone with the 14, but the 16 still made me feel great!

Flirty, fun, work appropriate top!
Loved the lightweight silky material & the pattern! Unique & fun! The top was a tad shorter than I would have ideally liked, but I paired it with high waisted black pants creating the illusion of a longer overall fit. I ordered the large as I wear a 34DDD bra and sometimes have a hard time finding button up tops that don't "gap open" or 'pull' too much across the bust. Because I have a larger chest but am only a 34 across the back - I sometimes find arm holes (arm pit area) to hang a tad "too low" - and that was the case with this top. The front looked lovely because there was no gapping where it buttoned, however, my bra was a bit exposed as a result - no biggie as a white cami would have fixed that entirely! Great top for large busts as the v-neck neck line wasn't too low for the office - it was just right! Overall - I loved this top!

I felt like a MILLION dollars in this dress! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This dress was everything I expected, hoped for, and more, for my company Christmas Party. It was true to size (and accommodated my large bust (36DDD) nicely due to the "full coverage" style of the top). Im 5'5" - 5'6" and was a tiny bit long, even with 3" heels on. I found myself stepping on the bottom on occasion; but it didn't really bother me because I felt SO good in the dress, overall. The dress has a black lining underneath which made it EXTREMELY comfortable to wear for hours and hours. The sequins didn't scratch or bother my "underarms" or anywhere else for that matter! RENT THE RUNWAY SUCCESS!!
