Staud, Call Me
My love of Staud bags is honestly bordering on psychosis. I don’t think I’ve met a bag of theirs I’m not immediately drawn to and in love with. Case in point - I’m a gold girl and I had to have this silver accent bag. And she’s quickly converting me. Obsessed. The leather is so nice, with a luxe suede lining. Fits all the essentials for a night out, including my giant phone. I find myself constantly reaching for this one. Def rent.

Love this dress. Sexy, stretchy, celebrates your curves. The print is so cool. I wore this for girl’s night out and felt perfect. Loved it with boots, love it with a clunky freaky sneaker. So fun with a bomber jacket. You could def size down if needed based on what’s available. She’ll be a dream for some hot Galentine’s dates. Def rent!

In LOVE with this Avant Garde Blazer
I absolutely melt when RTR offers pieces like this. So I knew I had to try this one. It was a bit of a gamble as I’m usually a 14/16 in blazers and this only went up to a 12 (ugh) but I wanted it to still look structural and oversized. Thank GOD I tried it. I haven’t stopped wearing it. I knew it was going to be a tricky style - I still don’t know if I’ve found the right groove yet, but I’m loving getting to know this absolutely funky and generous piece. I tried it monochrome black with a bit of navy for some textural play and it was fun but honestly this piece works best when you lean into its edge and pair her with loud pieces that can keep up. I can’t wait to put her with super voluminous wide legs, with big skirts, with more loud patterns, or with streetwear. I’m dying to get her with some big cargo denim and bright colors. She takes it all and wears them beautifully. Endless compliments. For all the fashion girls. Rent it.

I LOVE THESE GAY BEARS
Oh my god I love these bears!!! They’re in little tuxedos! One has on sunglasses! They’re holding paws! Like they’re both leaving their Milan wedding and are heading to the coast. I love them!!! Sweater is perfectly oversized in my usual size. Little itchy but I just willed myself into submission (a turtleneck under helps) but I cannot care. Very VERY warm, so perfect for brutal winters. Rent it and fall in love with these Heated Rivalry bears.

So Undeniably Cool
Absolutely obsessed. I want to live in this jacket. It’s nowhere near warm enough for a bomber here but I couldn’t wait so I’ve just been layering it under giant topper coats. Absolutely obsessed. Love her with jeans and sneakers as much as I do with dresses and boots for a night out. Like a sexy F1 driver. I’m still finding unexpected pairings I’m drooling over. Rent it.

Divine Faux Fur
A sumptuous faux fur! The color is dreamy! Such a deep eggplant purple - almost black but def purple in good lighting. I love wearing it like it’s a neutral. The fur quality is really nice too for a faux. It was hard not to pet it sitting at the bar after a few drinks! I wanted to feel enveloped in fur so I went with an XXL and it fits exactly how I wanted - a touch oversized without swallowing me. I’d say it runs TTS but you could size up if you wanted more fluff! I’m hanging onto this one for a bit! Def rent!

Cream Puff Perfection!!
This DRESS!!! Quite possibly the most perfect holiday party dress I’ve ever worn. Like a little 60s dream. I am obsessed!! I leaned into the vibe with tights, heeled boots, full opera gloves, a martini purse, and faux fur coat and felt amazing! I’m in between a 14/16 and the only size available was a 14, so I was a little nervous as I’m quite blessed in the chest but it fit perfect. There’s a really well constructed inner corset - several rows of hook and eyes to help get the right fit, so I’d say you could size down if needed. People have mentioned the fabric and it is a vinyl but honestly I loved that. It keeps the dress from deflating without needing a ton of tulle layers. I found it charming. She’s incredibly memorable but even then I can’t stop wearing it to all my holiday parties!!! Outfit repeater? In this, any day!! Def rent!

Stunning Florals
Ulla never fails, truly. Such a beauty! My friends were gushing - even the wait staff! A thick knit material that holds you in without being suffocating. I rented it to wear to a nice dinner and - to quote my friend - we were all breathing through our mouths by the end of it and I never felt uncomfortable in this dress. So there’s a nice amount of stretch. The pattern is stunning in person. I’m 5’5” and I do wish it was just a touch longer like on the model but I was ok with it. I generally find a scoop neck hard to style - a little uninspiring - but I layered some necklaces to make it work because the rest of this piece is so special. It’s been absolutely freezing here so I put it with a sweater, tights, and heavy coat until I got to the restaurant. For warmer climate girls, she’s a great winter option. Cold girls? You’re gonna want to layer! But she’s not thin so she’s down for the challenge! Def rent!!

Cin cin!
So adorable! Truly non-stop compliments. I adore all of Rachel Antonoff’s mesh shirts and this is no exception. I did find it ran a little more snug than the others of hers that I’ve rented in the past - I’ve been able to go down to a L if needed and this XL was a little tight but it loosens a little as you wear it so I think that might be because it arrived new with tags. So fun and festive without trying to hard. Def rent!

Obsessed with this trip of a top - zebras, roosters, lithographic florals and vines, marble busts, oh my! She’s a conversation starter. So fun and chic and sexy. It’s mesh and stretchy so sizing down would be fine but, for fellow busty babes, it’d pull the graphics. It went TTS and loved it. Def rent!

Ladies Free Yourselves from “Flattering”
Is she “flattering”? Who cares. Free yourselves from trying to look as thin as possible and discover a world of fashion. It’s probably the coolest thing I’ve rented. Truly oozes effortlessly unbothered. I cannot stop wearing it. Deliciously oversized. Don’t size down. Embrace the volume. Did I mention the squiggles are 3D? How could you not love her?

Excellent Winter Wedding Coat
Rented this for an unexpectedly freezing wedding outdoors in the mountains - bless RTR for making it so easy to add shipments and last minute add items - and I loved it! I’m between a 14/16 and they only had the 14 and it fit but was a little more snug than I usually would like across the back, nothing uncomfortable or noticeable by others, but I’m a little finicky. I’d size up next time - so any broader back baddies, I wouldn’t size down if you’re looking to rent a coat for a whole season. But it was so pretty and quite warm. I felt very polished at the wedding!

Bought It
This was such an amazing surprise. I’d had it on my list for a bit and was never sure if the fit would work for my body type (I did size up to accommodate my chest - and would recommend ordering based on your chest size as the skirt is full and flowy) and woo lord why was I nervous?! It’s the ultimate cool girl sundress - I put it with boots, sneakers, sandals. Got it in late summer/early fall and can’t wait to wear it into the ground when the weather heats back up. It’s a perfect city girl vibe. Def rent!!

Where Is the Love For This INCREDIBLE Vest???
Oh my god why does this have to be so expensive?! I wore it into the GROUND during transition weather. The fit was perfect and I’m pretty blessed in the chest, so larger busted ladies you def could do this one. So cute with any sleeve length and with so many bottoms - I wore with jeans, with voluminous skirts, with minis, with dresses - just loved it. Had someone say the flowers made them think of Lizzie McQuire and I leaned in with a charm necklace and an “as if” attitude. Just so fun. I love when RTR offers pieces like these - nothing says everyday luxe like running errands in a piece like this!

Cute Night Out Skirt
Def got compliments on the full set - rented it for a Halloween pop up bar for a full “vampire off-duty” vibe. It’s pleather so it’s a little hot and I sized up like I usually do with mini skirts to make sure everything is fully covered - which it was while still being a little sexy. Docked a star because I do wish RTR would offer more leather than just continuous plastic, especially on their collab lines, and this pleather definitely seemed on the cheaper side. But a cute skirt for sure!

Anyone Got a Spare $725?
Good LORD! Strangers stopped me on the street. I had a pep in my step. Everything felt chic and possible and splendid. I wore her dressed down a touch with heeled boots for a girls night for this fall weather and loved it but it could easily go to a formal occasion or wedding with a small bag and heels. The side zip can be a little hard with curves but hey, that’s what yoga poses are for. And once on, she’ll snatch you like she was cut just for you. Just rent it. If I can find bite the bullet on this price tag, she’s mine.

Sheer But That’s the Point
As other reviews mention, she’s for sure sheer. I absolutely loved that though. Kept the length and sleeves from being too Handmaid’s Tale. The print and the sheerness make it sexy. I wore with a nude bra and nude slip shorts but I think a black bra with this would be A1. A dream for this transitional fall weather. It’s Ulla so it’s cut to flatter - curvy ladies this one is begging to bathe you in flattery. Hanging onto this one for a while. 100/10

Bury Me in This Dress
Oh my god this DRESS! I’ve never felt so sexy. I wore it to drinks at the Ritz in Paris and felt like I was in a Vogue spread. Fits like a dream - thicker material so it holds everything in. No need to wear a bra. It has a zip in the skirt portion and is a pull on for the top with the ties being adjustable so I was able to get a perfect fit. Drooled over myself in this if the 10000 selfies I took in it are anything to go by. Rent it. Probably should have bought it. 100/10.

Large Ribcage Baddies Beware
This was a gamble that didn't pay off. Love Staud and everything they do, but I knew in my heart this would be cut too small, and sure enough. I sized up a 16 and it still was inches from zipping before it even hit my chest. If you have a large ribcage, I'd keep that in mind with this one. Absolutely beautiful print though, perfect weight for spring/summer. It'll be a dream on the right person.

Loved this dress! Wore for a friend's cocktail attire house party and it fit the bill perfectly. Compliments poured in. The top is a stretchy scuba material so she highlights all your best features and snaps you in a bit. Didn't need to wear a bra. Felt like I was on a chic vacation. Fits TTS, but I'd say, depending on your chest size, you could size down if needed.

Sexy and effortless. Loved wearing this dress - perfect for drinks with the girls. And great for girls with the girls, the seams of the cups don't line up but whatever, she's sexy, you won't really care. Stretchy and comfortable, but I would recommend sizing up if you're curvy. I took this in a 16 and it was a perfect fit.

Beautiful Dress, Tight in the Chest
I was so hoping that this would work. It's been on my radar for ages and when it arrived I thought for sure it'd be worth the wait - beautiful fabric, gorgeous print. I know this brand can run a bit smaller but I was hoping with the flowy cut I could make this work and no dice. It's cut pretty TTS for the brand in the chest - which is to say a touch small. It gave the dreaded pancake boob, so I let a friend who's usually a 10/12 with a C cup borrow it and she looked divine. Chesty girls, size up.

Obsessed. This was a total roll of the dice since some of the reviews mentioned it was tight in the chest but the RTR algorithm said it had a high chance of fitting and bless up cause they were right. Absolutely obsessed. The back panel is very stretchy, so I'd say this dress would work for all kinds of body types. I'm usually a 14/16 in tops to accommodate the girls and the 12 worked out fine, little chesty, but hey that's what brunch is for. 10/10

A TRUE 10/10
This top is not just the party, it shuts down the whole block. Insanely flattering, so floaty and fun. Perfect for the dead of summer but still so cute in spring. Already worn it twice and I've had it one day. Size down for a great oversized fit. Recommend for busty ladies too!! Still insanely flattering on a large chest. I don't plan on sending this back until September. Gimme a couple of the margs that this top is made for and I'll probably end up just buying it.

Fun Print But Really Tricky Fit
Fell in love with this jumpsuit the moment I saw it and rented it immediately. The print is a DREAM in person. Cannot fawn over it enough. Farm Rio KILLS it as always. I'd been a L in other Farm Rio pieces and so I went with that one and was unable to zip it up fully over my chest. I exchanged for the XL and could zip over my chest but it created the ever-flattering "pancake boob" and the cut of the hips was a bit tight - something I, as a woman with barely any hips, found incredibly baffling. I think the cut of the jumpsuit is meant to be slim and fitted, as opposed to oversized, which as another reviewer noted, when in combo with the thicker cotton, makes for a bit of an odd piece. The jumpsuit just feels like it should fit oversized, so the fit ends up looking a bit off. If you could make it work it'd be an absolute dream! But in terms of sizing up, I found a pretty negligible difference between the L and XL. For reference, the photo is of the L.

So Cute But SO Small
I'm not a particularly hippy woman, but definitely got some Sophia Loren "everything you see I owe to spaghetti" going on in my midsection and WOW these jeans are so cute (as all the photo reviews show) but incredibly small! And not just in the waist, which had several more inches to go before the chance of being buttoned up. I have a long torso and there's no way the rise was 12" as advertised. It didn't even reach my belly button. So cute and would have worn them into the ground but size UP!

Stunning Jacket
Absolutely obsessed with this jacket, the amount I don't want to give it back is too high. So so gorgeous in person, definitely looks luxe. I'd say it fits similar to the Madewell Caldwell blazer (fitted in shoulders - though this one has shoulder pads too - and oversized in the body) But the cut of the body is to die for! Oversized but so slimming, makes for a really sleek silhouette. I'd stick with your normal size or size down. I've worn to brunch, happy hour, girls night, it's a workhorse.

I cannot describe how much I adore this sweatshirt! It is an entire block party in the back. It's very oversized, I could have sized down but they only had the L and it's cut well enough that it still draped well. Worn to the opening of a cool new sushi place and to bar, if it wasn't so expensive I'd never return it. So comfortable and fabulous! Paired it with skin tight black jeans and heels and with OTK boots for a total Ariana Grande moment. Rent this for all your artsy cool events

Gorgeous Dress, VERY Small & VERY Scratchy
Beautiful pattern, absolutely stunning in person, the stock photos themselves look gorgeous but they don't do it justice. However, taking two stars off because this dress embodies "beauty is pain". I woke up with scratches under my arms the next morning because of the sequins. It was so incredibly uncomfortable. To me, not worth a re-rent. It's also comically small. I'm usually a solid 12 in designer gowns and I had to go up to the XXL, and even then it was a bit tighter in the chest than I'd have liked, but nothing that was too tight to manage. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend.

Sexy (and Comfy!!) Sequins
Had my eyes on this since it came out and I KNEW I had to have it for NYE - if you can't wear a sequined catsuit then, when can you? Absolutely loved it! Ran a little small, but also it was post-holidays ;) I have a longer torso, a 34G bust, and am usually a 10-12 in designer clothes and I went with the XL to make sure that I could move around comfortably & not have it ride up. Go with your TTS for a sexier fit, or size up for a fit that skims you a bit more (and leaves rooms for champagne)

Unbelievably Gorgeous and Sexy Jumpsuit!
I always said if I found a jumpsuit that actually fit me, I'd buy it no matter the cost. I loved this jumpsuit so much that I couldn't let it go and tracked down one in my size to own. I'm a rather busty girl with a long torso which are just two strikes out when jumpsuit shopping. This fit like a dream! I usually size between an 8-10-12 in designer sizing in order to accommodate my chest in dresses/one pieces and I ended up in the 12 with this. The top lay comfortably around my ribcage, without pulling or straining, and I was able to sit without the crotch riding up which is, you know, always a plus. The top has an under layer that sits really close to the skin, so I was able to go braless at my size without any issue, which was great for the adorable open back. The legs of this piece are the real show stopper. As several reviewers have said, they're completely open on the sides. Because I went with the larger size, I never had an issue with things getting a little too sexy because there was a lot of fabric and it was a breezy evening. But I also never felt like I was wearing marquee curtains. When you sit down and cross your legs things can get a bit fun, but the slit goes up your outer leg, so I was never in risk of showing too much. This piece is to DIE for when walking. I rented it for a performance of "Hedwig" on my birthday and then wore the one I bought on a river cruise on the Seine for Bastille Day. Could not have been happier. This is a home run of a piece and I cannot recommend you rent it highly enough.
