Oversized fit
This definitely runs large, but I wanted to try it so badly that I just ordered the large (I'm usually a medium). The oversized fit was actually pretty cute, if not shapeless. I wore with leggings and with skinny jeans. The arms were pretty long, even on me, so anyone shorter would be swimming in it. The color block is pretty cool and the maroon is beautiful. I didn't get complimented much on this but I didn't mind because I was comfy while wearing and felt better than I would in sweats.

Great take on a simple sweater
I received so many compliments on this sweater! Everyone (me included) loved how simple the sweater was but how modern it looked with the color block. I sized up per reviews and definitely needed to. This runs small. The sleeves were plenty long, however the body is not nearly as long as it looks in the stock photo. I didn't mind the length, but it wasn't a top I could wear with leggings. I didn't find this itchy or cardboardy as other reviewers did. I loved this and would rent it again!!

So warm!!!
I hated to send this back bc it is SO warm! It is two separate pieces, a down puffer that snaps in to a waterproof shell. The body and sleeve length were awesome! My only beef, and the reason I docked this one star, is that the liner would unsnap easily, like when getting into the car or stretching for something. The snaps seem cheap for the cost of the jacket. Overall, loved this rental and would love to rent it again!

Large through chest and shoulders
I loved this top and I'm bummed that it was too big through my chest and shoulders. The houndstooth print is very flattering, as is the flared silhouette. The extra fabric up top added bulk and weight to me where I am thinnest. I will try this again in a smaller size if it ever comes available.

Felt like a million bucks
This is a great top! The green color is rich, the fabric is thick, and the belted style is very flattering. I did need to wear with a black cami underneath because the sleeves are wide. This was 'just' long enough for my height. I felt great in this top and would rent it again!

Awesome coat!
I loved this simple black jacket. The gold hardware dresses it up just a little. It was warm and looked classy and appropriate for an outdoor awards ceremony. I ended up buying this in a tall size from j crew. Love it!!

Different and well made.
This is a beautiful, well made top. The color is kind of a muted orange. The silver button details are very nice. I liked the mandarin collar as an alternative to a regular collar. I wore this under a belted navy j crew sweater cardigan with jeans and boots and got many compliments. It was flowy in an unflattering way when worn alone, so I would recommend wearing as a layer.

Cute layers
I loved this jacket. It's so fun and has built in style with the hoodie dickey. I wore this casually for errands and really liked it. My only complaint is that the back flared out over my butt in a weird way. Overall, would rent again for the right occasions and in transitional weather.

Attention grabber
Can't believe how many compliments I received on this little sweater! It was so easy to wear with jeans or leggings or even dressed up a little more for church with black pants. The 6 was tight on me and I am a true 8 so I would say that this runs very true to size. Really nice length, love the pattern. I got lots of use out of this would rent again!

Stripe is blue
This top is nice. The fabric is heavy and lays well. I was very surprised to find out that the stripe was blue, not black, and that there is a gold stripe next to the blue. It was long enough for me and worked well for my sons chorus concert and then again for casual dinner out.

Love!
I wasn't sure if I'd like this as it was hard to tell what was going on in the chest area just from pictures. Well, I ended up loving this! It was so flattering and I got tons of compliments! I'm still not exactly sure what's up with the lacing on the chest area but it worked! Nice quality, fun piece, would definitely rent again!

Cute but not tunic length
I enjoyed this sweater and would have given it 5 stars if the condition of the fabric had been better/newer. Length is not tunic length on someone of my height. This sweater is warm and has really cute style with the neck and the tie. I really liked the rich green color as well! Looked really nice with dark jeans and brown boots. I would rent this again.

Easy to wear.
I rented this for a ski weekend and was pleasantly surprised. The stripe adds something to an otherwise boring cardigan! This was easy to throw on over leggings, boots and a long sleeve t for apres ski. I am a true medium but ordered a large in this because it was all they had. I feel like I could have worn anything from a small to a large and looked fine. This was very long, which worked for my height but might not work for someone shorter.

Nice plaid
This is the second time I rented this dress, but this time I sized up to a L. This isn't long enough to be a dress on me, but it's a little too long to look like a top. I chose to tuck it in to jeans one night for a casual dinner and then knot it to wear during the day. I like the colors. The fabric is getting a little worn now. I mostly sized up to correct the pulling across the chest and that worked. Decent casual option. May try the other colors/plaids in the future.

Gorgeous material, classic cut.
I loved wearing this top. The cut is so flattering and the material is thick and forgiving. I would have bought this if it was 1" longer as this was almost too short for me. This also runs small. I am a true medium and this was tight. Not uncomfortably so, more like wetsuit so. I may try in the future in a large and hope that adds a little more length.

Elevated T
This top is fun! It's very flown and a little short so appears boxy when worn straight. I front tucked it and wore a long necklace to add some shape and it was super cute! Paired with white shorts and then white jeans. It was something different and I liked it!

Cute everyday top
This is a great option instead of a t shirt. It's not dressy but looks pulled together. I wore in the evening with dark ankle length denim and during the day with navy shorts. Needed a long necklace to break up the broad part at the top. Would definitely rent again and considered buying. Only downside is that it needs ironed before each wear.

Cute top, fit could be better.
This top definitely runs a little big. I am a true 8 and I thought the 6 still had room in the waist (although it fit well in chest). This was juuuust long enough for me. It's a cute top, something a little different from a plain t, but not my favorite rental ever.

Runs small
These are decent work crops. I did not wear because they were too short for me at 5'11" and a little too snug. Not terribly tight, but I would have preferred the roominess of 12s over the tighter fit of the 10s. Honestly, if they would have been a better length I would have worn them despite the tighter fit. Color and cut are nice. Solid staple for a shorter frame.

Great layered look!
This top is unexpectedly sophisticated. I love the layered look without having to put any effort into layering! This is definitely not as long as it looks in the model photo and would be a stretch with leggings... but it's a really nice length to wear with jeans. Not super warm, even with the two tops together. I felt put together in this and received lots of compliments. Would definitely rent again!

Nice details, easy to wear!
Beautiful sweater! Very warm. Love the longer sleeve length. Lace is a beautiful detail! Runs slightly big through chest but wouldn't want to size down and sacrifice length. Overall, very easy to wear. Great with leggings or jeans and boots. Would rent again.

Huge and horizontal lines not flattering.
Tried to rent in a small after reading reviews but had a mishap that ended in me renting a medium, my normal 'true' size. The medium was enormous. Heavy, unshapely, just huge and unflattering. RTR rectified the size situation for me so no worries there but I f I DID try to reorder, I would order the small and maybe even the x-small.

Gorgeous!
Photos don't do this coat justice! The color, styling, and cut of the coat are gorgeous! The collar lays beautifully and the leather/pleather? sleeves are a great touch. Nice length and warm enough to wear as a jacket in the 30's. Would keep if not quite so pricey. Received so many compliments and would definitely rent again!

Best RTR piece yet
I don't want to send this back, and if the fabric were in newer condition, I would buy it. Great layering piece. Warm enough for mild winter weather but breathes, too. Wore with just a tee but also fit sweater and shirt underneath. I looked for reasons to wear this and received compliments every time I did. <3

Interesting top!
This is a unique piece! It's almost like a blanket with just the detached belt to give it structure and shape. The wool is stiffer than I expected. The grey back is a cool touch! This would be better as a transitional piece than for winter wear as it is very difficult to get under a coat but not warm enough to be worn without. This could be a little longer on my tall frame but it looks ok as is and is a neat addition to my wardrobe!

This is a great bag! Beautiful, classic styling. Can be dressed up or worn more casually. Good amount of space inside for a smaller handbag! Love this bag!

Gorgeous but runs small!
I ordered the 6L because there were no 8L's available. I wanted it to work out so badly because this dress is stunning!!! Unfortunately it was WAY too tight. I don't think an 8L would have even cut it. I definitely think I would have needed a 10L in this dress. The silhouette, lace, detailing, lining...everything about this dress was wow!

Perfect for rehearsal dinner
This dress really surprised me! The lace and color are gorgeous. Needs a strapless bra or one with clear straps for sure. Sleeve detail is so fun! The slip underneath rides up a tiny bit but not enough to be annoying. This was very comfortable and very flattering. I received compliments all night long!

Beautiful piece.
I did not ending up wearing this because my dress for wedding called for something longer. This would be beautiful with the correct neckline!

Just okay.
This skirt just didn't do it for me. I definitely needed at least the 8. The 6 pulled across my hips. The nude underlay is more obvious than it appears in pictures. This may have been okay in the correct size but it lacks the wow factor overall.

Beautiful but constricting.
This is a beautiful dress and gives a gorgeous shape. The top runs tts or even a tad large, however the bottom runs very right through the hips and thighs. I could barely walk in this, let alone walk up stairs. Also, this wasn't long enough for a true 'tall' when wearing any type of heal. This dress would be great for someone larger on top and smaller on bottom.

Didn't wear, but only because of the weather.
This is a very well made top. Low but not too low. Creates a beautiful waist. It's much better on than it looks on the hanger! I rented to wear for a date night but we had a spell of cold weather and I opted for something with sleeves and a higher neckline. I look forward to renting this again in the spring/summer!

Flowy and fun!
This is a fun top to wear out at night. My only complaint is that the sleeves are difficult to get into a coat. Otherwise this top is awesome! Beautiful embroidered detail on the sleeve. Nice length, even on tall frame. It didn't cover my butt but was still long enough that it felt like it fit correctly. High neck was nice change and looks nice with a long necklace.

Very structured but cute!
Beautiful color. This bag is extremely stiff and structured. Loved the optional strap. This bag fits a decent amount of stuff. Only complaint is that the inside pocket is somewhat inadequate. It was hard to find what I was looking for in the pocket. I would rent this again.

Is this juniors?
The sizing of this top definitely felt like juniors. The piece of fabric that is meant to define the waist cut right across the busy. The sleeves were way too short. The length was newly midriff bearing. Maybe this would be cute on a petite frame? If you are tall, skip this shirt. I am a true medium and could barely get the large on.
