Poor craftsmanship
The fact that this dress retails for $400+ is laughable. The seaming is incomplete, causing the neckline to flip inside out. I get the point of RTR sewing the belt on but it looks terrible tied as-is (a wide belt does cover it). I loved the color and it was comfortable for mid-Spring temps, but if you saw it at Goodwill, you'd thrift flip it into something better in a heartbeat.

Great fit, ruffles have a mind of their own
Really enjoyed wearing this for a baby shower and to work. The ruffles definitely don't all want to lay flat, but he overall look wasn't diminished. I loved the puffy sleeves and though the silhouette was really flattering. Wouldn't rent again but happy I did this time.

Love the look, but too small
I’m on the hunt for shorts that aren’t cut-offs and it looks like the quest continues. I already sized up in these and they were still too tight on my thighs (I do have more muscular quads). Didn’t wear these.

Definitely size up
I loved the pattern of this and the weight of the fabric, but my usual XS was just too tight. My own fault, Saylor typically runs small/tight and while that’s fine for dresses, this just needed more room. Didn’t wear it. Size up 1 for a good fit, 2 if you want a more relaxed fit.

Grandpa in Boca Vibes
Honestly, I kinda loved the grandpa in Boca/tourist in Cancun vibes of this dress and even styled it as a midi duster over denim shorts, but it does sort of scream “I’m on Island time.” The belt is attached which was a shame because a wide belt actually pulls this together pretty well. I don’t shy away from color but even this was a bit much. Good length and comfy, though.

Hips be warned
If the waist was a tad bit bigger and the hips were a smidge wider, this skirt is great for short athletic bodies. The length was actually a true midi, and the slit in the back showed some leg while also making walking easier. But as other reviews state, it is tiiiight. Great colors and a cool statement piece, but not something I’d reach for if I was heading out to eat.

Fun print, tricky to style
I loved the plaid and the colors were so fun, but this was just a tad too much in a lot of ways. It’s a lot of fabric for high-waisted pants to hold—things get bunchy in the worst spot. Also, maybe I’m weird, but the keyhole being in the front seemed strange to me? Felt like I was wearing it backwards, as the keyhole itself is actually pretty deep and showed a bit of bra if you were at the right angle. Wouldn’t rent again but it was fun.

Drawstrings just for show
Loved carrying this and got lots of compliments; it’s the perfect color for spring. My only negative is that the drawstrings didn’t hold, like everything opened right back up after pulling them. Not the biggest deal, as the bag is deep enough that there’s no risk of something falling out (and has an inner PLUS hidden outer mini pocket, so great storage for the basics). Could see myself owning this but fun to swap it out for now.

The 80s Called
This was actually pretty cute with a beige mini skirt (didn’t rent the matching set). The length was good for an oversized look and I loved the pattern. The shoulders were…prominent. Very boxy in a way that just didn’t sit right on my body. It was hard to style as a petite—it just overwhelmed me, which was disappointing because it was a cute print for late spring in a casual office.

Husband approved
I wore this on Valentine’s Day to great acclaim from my husband, so much so that he made a specific request that I wear it on another date night a few weeks later. Can’t beat that! The pros are self explanatory. For cons, I will say that it’s a little loose up top but not night-ruiningly-so, so it’s not a wear-it-and-forget-it type of outfit. Still, so cute and certainly a head turner.

Jurassic Park
Loved wearing this and got a lot of compliments. The length was perfect, the top was low but secure, and the waist was fitted but comfortable. Really great for a cute girls night out! My only thing was that I felt like that scene in Jurassic Park where the smaller dinosaur flares its neck and spits venom, but that’s…niche. Got the job done as far as sundresses go, with a little extra oomph!

Too low for work
As other reviews have mentioned, this is a little booby for work. You can make it work with a cami underneath but that’s not usually my vibe. Length was great (slightly above the knees at 5’1”), sleeves are fine, and it’s a true wrap so you have control over how cinched you want the waist. Felt 90% wearing it, but glad it was just a rental.

Bought this
I bought this within 5 minutes of trying it on. It’s the perfect fit for petites — not too short, perfect fit through the waist, comfortable in the shoulders. You can’t walk two feet without getting a compliment on this, and I loved the colors and 70s vibe. Just as cute with sneakers as it is with wedges! I’m obsessed.

Flamenco Fit
Got lots of compliments on the color and fun hem of this dress. It was comfy to wear and hit just above my knees, so it looks right in short girls! The straps don’t really allow for a normal bra but the material isn’t thick enough to go braless. I liked wearing this and felt good in it, but happy it was just a rental.

Would rent again
Definitely need to give this one another go, as I didn’t get to style it as much as I wanted. As other reviewers noted, it’s a dark navy blue with black trim. The zipper is a great touch but the length and structure keeps it classy and work appropriate (at least at 5’1”, hit right above my knees). Can easily be dressed up or made cute for date night/dinner with friends. I’m excited to give it another go one day!

Great vacay bag
Loved this for my honeymoon! Fits a phone and small wallet with ease, and went with every outfit. My only con would be that the outer netting/handles are not connected to the leather “pocket” of the purse, so it could conceivably be lifted right out when sitting on a table (not likely while holding). Otherwise, huge fan and loved carrying such a beautiful bag.

Fun for vacay but awkward fit
Really loved this for my honeymoon but glad it was only rented. The gathered fringe detail and the slit are so fun for warm weather, and the tail of the skirt only slightly dragged (I’m 5’1”, wearing a small heel would’ve fixed this), but this was just meh for me. I did love the hidden zipper and snap so it felt secure, but maybe there was just too much going on for my taste. Great color, though.

The coat to end all coats
The fact that I didn’t buy this is shocking to me and the 800 people that complimented me on it. At 5’1” longer coats run the risk of swallowing me or simply hitting at an awkward length, but this one fit perfectly in all areas. I wore it with sweats on the weekend to look less like a degenerate, and it was warm enough on my walk to work in 40 degree weather. Works with pants, midi and mini skirts, and every single color. A top rental for me.

Fun but floppy
After reading other reviews, I accepted that the top was going to flop down so that didn’t end up bothering me. Overall this was very cute, fit TTS, and the poofiness of the sleeves could be downgraded by pulling them closer to the elbow, if that’s the vibe. No complaints, just a fun top that I’m glad I got to enjoy but not necessarily own.

Almost perfect
If these were to prototype for perfect pants, they’d be so close. The waist fit perfectly, but the slimmer cut through the hips/butt and lack of stretch made them a bit uncomfortable on the upper thigh area (to be fair, I have more athletic thighs and a bigger booty). I also wish they were about an inch longer to allow for a more flattering leg line. Sizing up might have made them too big in the waist. Absolutely obsessed with the color and they turned a lot of heads, I just wish I’d felt more comfortable in them.

I carried this for my rehearsal dinner and it fits an iPhone and small/thin wallet perfectly. Definitely bigger than I thought, in a good way. The pearl handle is adorable and was way more fun than a standard white clutch.

Great for work, more cardigan than "jacket"
Definitely would classify this as a cardigan/sweater over a jacket. Very interesting to look at and unique for sure, but not a crowd pleaser. My fiancé said the sleeves looked like I have cockapoo's strapped to my forearms haha. Still really liked it and glad I rented, definitely wouldn't be something in the regular rotation!

Obsessed
I got this for my best friend's bridal shower and it was ideal for the occasion. Fits beautifully--the length is just right (and I have a semi-short torso), the detailing is stunning in person, and while I wore a strapless bra with it I might have been able to get away with not wearing one, as it was opaque and tight-ish around the bust (although I'm not super busty anyway). It is sheer in the bodice so be aware of that. Otherwise, I almost bought it and still might. Loved wearing this!

Why didn't I buy you
I'm testing out a few tan bags and I already think this might earn a permanent spot. It's not big inside (really just fit my keys and phone with a tiny lip gloss), but that's all you'd really need anyway. It was perfect for everyday and complemented every single outfit I wore it with, which was basically everything for the entire month.

Pretty color, meh fit
Might be a personal thing but tiered tops just don't fit right on a shorter body. The weight of the fabric is great for warmer weather, but it was a little too long and flowy for my taste. Also, the tie at the neck is tough to make look perky and fun, and it wrinkles so easily that it just kinda lays there (probably an easy fix with some ironing, but I'm a throw-on-and-go gal). Still, a great color and so pretty in warmer temps!

OBSESSED
Loved this dress. I initially thought I needed a deep U bra to make it work, but after wearing it a few times I found that a normal bra worked just fine and didn't show! Perfect length (mid-thigh on my 5'1" frame), perfect fit in the torso, the sleeves were just puffy enough without looking like a child, and the color is incredible. Will definitely rent this again and am considering buying it, it's ideal for everything from birthdays to bridal showers.

Love the top, but long
Loved the color and detail of the neckline, but this one's tough for shorter torsos. It looks pretty cute tucked into high-waisted jeans but that causes the rest of it to wrinkle pretty easily. Lots of great color combos that I wish I had tried out more (would look SO cute with red pants), but just didn't have the inclination to wear it as much.

70s vibe with a great fit
I loved this top! Perfect 70s vibe with a great fit that was adjustable depending on how tightly you tied it. It was ideal for everything from date night to dinner with friends. Looks so great with high waisted jeans, but I wore it with a high-waisted skirt and boots and loved that look, too. The print is eye-catching but not annoying. Strongly considering buying this one, and would rent again in a heartbeat!

Unexpected print that was fun for WFH
Not my ideal fit (I like my tops to fit closer to the body, this more cropped and loose) but did fit the way it was designed to and was comfy while working from home. I liked that it added some personality to my Zoom calls haha. Looks cute with black high-waisted jeans!

The compliment getter!
This dress is perfect. I wore it for work meetings, but could see it being just as great for date night or even a warm-weather wedding. And I got so many compliments from random strangers! The waist was snug but not too tight, which looked great since it's see through, and it hit me right above the knee (I'm 5'1"). The color is amazing for summer and depending on the shoe, this could be super dressed up or a little more casual. I wish this came in a million colors, I would own every one.

Amazing dress, but WOO that slit
Rented this dress for a belated birthday date night, and absolutely loved how it looked...when I was standing still. One step forward and the front slit reveals it all. I walked with my clutch in front of me basically the entire night. So for ease of wearing, I'd give it 1-star, but it looked great in pics! Also a good choice for slightly larger busts--I don't have the boobs to totally fill it out and the back drooped a tiny bit as a result, but I think if it was filled out a bit more in front that problem would've been avoided.

Comfy and cute!
This is definitely a cropped sweatshirt, but works great with high-waisted jeans/pants. I was going to try to pull it off for work but it's clearly a sweatshirt, so although more elevated than a normal pullover, it's still pretty casual. Flattering fit and great length, especially if you have a shorter torso.

Cute 70s vibe!
I've worn this with black sash-waist pants, high-waisted skinny jeans, and a brown leather midi skirt, and it's perfect with them all. I love that the embroidery is fun but not overly cutesy, and the pattern along with the cut of the sweater has a fun 70s vibe. Might be a little short for long-torso'd ladies, but it's just the right length on me.

Got an XS and it fits true to size. I have a short torso and it was perfectly cropped, hit right at my hip bones. Looks great with high-waisted pants! Not something you can wear every day, but I would definitely rent again down the line.

Was told several times: "Buy it."
I love this jacket. I've wanted a sherpa-lined jacket forever but could never pull the trigger, and after wearing this one literally everywhere (business meetings, date night, a brewery), I don't know what I was waiting for. This hit me at the hip, is lined through the body and sleeves so is super warm, and has an awesome 70s vibe that I adore. It's impossible not to get compliments while wearing it, and when revealing that it was RTR, so many people said I "needed to buy it." So we'll see!

Lots of compliments! But weird fit.
This will get you a ton of compliments, no question, but be aware of a few things before you head out for the night: -I couldn't get the zipper to go all the way up. Not that it was stuck or poor-fitting (went over the waist just fine), but the shoulders are restrictive and tight, and I couldn't reach over my head to zip it the rest of the way. Luckily, I somehow got the clasp hooked, so you couldn't tell, but this helped me realize that going to the bathroom the whole night was going to be a no-no. -The lace is absolutely gorgeous, but a bit scratchy. I had red marks on my arms the next day after taking it off, and I wouldn't consider myself to have sensitive skin. -As with most jumpsuits on a shorter girl, it was a little long (for my taste). It's left alone in the photo, but I ended up rolling the bottom of each leg to show a little more ankle/shoe. This is totally a personal preference thing.

Tons of compliments! Wore it with a black turtleneck and black knee-high boots.
Love the colors in this skirt, definitely a great 60s vibe and easily works with a fall wardrobe as well as it clearly would with a spring/summer one. While the length was work-appropriate (fell right above my knees), and the waist fit well, I couldn't shake the fact that I was swimming in this skirt. I think the combo of the print and the cut made it look oversized on my body, even though nothing was "too" anything. It just seemed out of proportion on my frame. I got a ton of compliments, but I still think I prefer a skirt that's a little more on the mini side.
