Bought them!
I’m 5’9” with a straight and narrow frame and I love how these fit. I’ve worn them mostly with sneakers or a low heel. There’s no stretch and they give a bit of a front wedgie when sitting, but overall they’re great if you’re not planning to sit all day in them. I usually wear a 26 or 27 in Madewell and the size 28 worked perfectly for me.

Waist too small, couldn’t zip
Should have sized up one size, but I didn’t know as there were no reviews yet. Tried to zip up in back, but had a full inch or more left on zipper before it just stopped. Back is nearly open, with three buttons at neck and a single button in the middle of the back. Would have had to worn pasties or gone braless. Got for vacation in New Orleans bur sadly couldn't wear.

Banger of a Jumpsuit
I wore this to a work function in Vegas, and it was absolutely perfect. It fit like a glove, and I got compliments on it all evening long. I did order a size long, and it was still a little short for my 5’9” frame with 2.5” heels. I actually wondered if they sent me a regular length by mistake. Regardless, I felt great in it and would definitely consider renting again.

Cute Romper, Tight Waist
I really liked the look of this romper. I’m glad I sized up though to a size 6 from my normal size 4. It was still tight in the waist, and it was just long enough for my 5’9” frame. I loved the statement sleeves, but I wouldn’t rent again.

Barbie Girl Getup (size down)
Loved this bright pink linen blazer and matching shorts. I sized down from my normal size 4 to size 2 blazer, and it was still perfectly oversized. Note that the sides of the blazer aren’t closed and are held together with round metal rings. It was different, not sure I was a fan of it, but it didn’t detract from the overall fun vibes of the outfit.

Stunner!
This dress was vibrant and stunning and was definitely a standout at the wedding that I attended. That said, I wish I would have sized up. As a normal US size 4, I rented an 8. I think the 10 would have been perfect. The material is quite fitted through the stomach area. Even with spanx I felt uncomfortable, especially as I ate throughout the evening. I still felt beautiful in the dress and got tons of compliments though.

Runs SOOO small
I rented these shorts when there weren’t any reviews. They run a full size or more too small. Maybe they would work for someone with an ultra tiny waist, but I couldn’t get the size four even partially zipped up and that’s my normal size. Other than that, the colors are bright, the shell print is cute as is the scalloped hem.

Amazing Dress
I absolutely loved this dress! I wore it for a friend’s bachelorette party and got compliments on it all night long. It’s a thicker, stretchy jean material that holds its shape. The shoulders/sleeves are the statement portion of the dress. I usually wear a size small, but saw in other reviews it’s short, so I sized up to a medium and was very happy I did. Any shorter on my 5’9” frame would have been too short. I would definitely rent again.

Fine Work Dress
The dress was fine to wear on a recent work trip. It wrinkles easily and the belt constantly loosens, which was annoying. I'm normally a small, but the medium was a good fit. I wouldn't call this a stand out work dress

Bright Work Romper
I wore this romper on a recent work trip. It was loose and long enough for my long torso and height, and definitely needed the belt to give me some shape. The top was super drapey and required fashion tape so I wouldn't flash anyone. The color/design was incredibly bright, and I agree with another reviewer that I looked a bit like a La Croix can -- which I didn't mind.

Fine shirt for the office
I heeded reviewers advice and ordered a size medium when I normally wear a small. I'm glad I did bc even the medium was tight in the sleeves due to the elastic bands. The clasp at the top of the shirt also had difficulty remaining shut, so I had to keep messing with it. I think it looked cute on, but I wouldn't recommend due to the bothersome clasp and sleeves.

Wore this romper for a Miami bachelorette party. Worked well with my long torso and straight/narrow frame. It stayed up well. I would recommend.

Great vacation set!
I wore this top with the matching shorts on vacation. I heeded advice of prior reviewers and ordered a size up and it just fit -- like if my rib cage was even a half cm wider, it would have been too tight (I'm a 34 bra band). The outfit was super cute for a Caribbean vacation, but would have been a bit much for me at home with the yellow print and lace. Overall, it fit great and felt great.

Loved this two piece set for vacation!
I wore these shorts and matching top on vacation. They don't have any stretch and zip closed, but they worked for my frame and I loved the high rise to hide my not perfectly flat stomach. I wouldn't wear this outfit not on vacation as it was a bit much with the lace top, but for a Caribbean vacation it worked and fit perfectly.

Loved this romper!
I wore this romper on vacation and loved it. It was the perfect, bright and casual outfit for a low key evening. At 5'9" with a long torso, it was great to find a romper that fit my long frame. Usually I wear size 4, but I definitely needed the 6 for length so I didn't get a wedgie. I'll likely rent again later in the summer.

Cute going out top
I wore this for a wine tasting event on a Saturday evening. I wasn't aware that the back lace was unlined, so you either have to wear a nude cami, wear a nude bra and you'll be able to see it, wear pasties or go braless. I wore pasties. All my girlfriends loved the top. I have a long torso and had to wear high rise jeans to make it work. Overall, I was really happy with the top.

Cozy Sweater
The sweater was definitely cozy and warm. I usually wear size smalls, and since that size was unavailable, I went with a medium and it fit just fine. It felt soft to the touch, but it was a little itchy around my neck. I wore a cami underneath it, and boy did it shed and leave fuzzies all over it. Overall it was a cute wear for my casual workplace.

Great Top
Overall, I liked the top. Pros: I like how the tie cinched my waistline. The deep green color was pretty, and it paired well with gold jewelry. I wore it to work and got a compliment on it from someone I didn't even know. Cons: I have a long torso and wearing this with high waisted jeans was a must because it was somewhat short. The arm holes were big though, and you could see my nude colored bra if I lifted my arms. I'm glad I rented it as a wear once work item.

Backup Dress was a Flop
I ordered this as a backup dress and it came riddled with problems. Firstly, I ordered a 38L (I'm 5'9" flat footed) and it was about 1 - 2" too short in bare feet. If I would have worn flip-flops with the dress you could have seen them. Secondly, one of the cap sleeves was the missing the decorative chain that was supposed to adorn it. Thirdly, the cap sleeves were so heavy and probably stretched out from numerous wears that any time I moved both cap sleeves would fall down my arm. I'm not sure if fashion tape would even have helped. I tried on the dress with a normal black bra and you could just see it peaking out in the back. You'd probably need to go braless or wear a low-back bra if needed. Other than the aforementioned problems, the dress fit in the bust and through the body. All this being said, RTR customer service helped me rectify the issues and the emergency dress that they overnighted me worked out great.

Great dress for a wedding
I loved everything about this dress, but I decided to go with the other dress I rented from RTR because it was more formal, and I was going to a ball. The dress would have been perfect had I been going to a wedding though. I ordered the size 2, and it fit my frame perfectly. Had I wanted, I could have worn a bra with the dress, but the material was definitely thick and tight enough for me to go braless. There are pockets in the dress, but I thought they were awkwardly placed too close to the front and too close together to really serve any sort of purpose. There's little loops for a skinny belt, if you wanted to make the dress more casual. It's definitely the kind of dress where finding a statement necklace to wear would be key in pulling the whole outfit together.

Fabulous dress, fit like a glove!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress! I wore it to a ball for grad school, and it was perfect for the affair. The blue is much brighter than the picture, and it really popped and complimented my skin tone (I admit, I got a spray tan before the event). I'm 5'9", 130 lbs., 32C and the 2L dress fit wonderfully. I have more of a ruler frame, and there was a little extra material in the hip area, but it wasn't noticeable to anyone but me. I wore 3" heels and the length was perfect. Since the lace on the back had a tan, almost nylons-type material fabric underneath it, I was able to wear a nude strapless bra. I did wear nude spanx, which worked well since the dress was tight in the stomach area and the ball that night included dinner. I wore my hair up which allowed me to showcase the back of the dress and gold jewelry/shoes. Overall, it was an absolute hit!
