Flattering and forgiving!
I almost never rent rompers or jumpsuits because I’m 5’10” and carry a lot of weight in my stomach and thighs. This one was very stretchy, the shorts weren’t super tight on my thighs, and the pattern “hid” a lot of my stomach. There will be a lot of boob out, especially if you have a large chest. The fabric is thick, so no see-through issues. I definitely was not 100% without camel-toe, but again, the pattern helped hide this and it wasn’t uncomfortable to the point of not being able to wear it. Would rent again!

I probably could have made this work if I tucked it in, but it was really tight. I'm a solid size 14 and the XL was too small.

Runs small and isn't curve-friendly
I didn't wear either size. Kinda mad I wasted $30 but whatevs. I could have worn the 14 with spanx, but it's too dang hot for all that! Plus the slits on the sides come up too far so you would have seen shapewear that are the shorts-type. This dress was very tight on my chest and hips. The buttons gaped in those areas. I think sizing up would make it too big in the waist. Overall, it's just made for narrow, slim body types, which I do not have!

Probably the sexiest A-line dress ever!
I was super happy with this dress because it was A-line to cover my hips, and also a conservative length to cover my thighs. If your arms and back are your strong points, but you want to hide everything else, rent this! You can't wear a bra -- beware!

Cute and lightweight!
I had to wear spanx with this because I'm tall and the waist hit in a strange spot on me. I don't have much to offer on this review other than the photo -- this is how it looks on someone who's 5'10" with a pear shape. I've got wide hips and I'm small up top. Not my favorite rental, but it was nice to wear to my in laws' house on Easter.

A few things I wasn't expecting...
This dress is great if you're looking for something conservative but still a little sexy. A person who does not have wide hips like I do might say that this dress is true to size, but I'm a size 8 and had to go with the L. I was not expecting the slit to be as high on the leg (I'd say 6-7" from the crotch), so it was a bit scandalous when sitting. Also, it was very long. I'm 5'10" and this was a true midi-length on me. Shorter women would have trouble with this one. The quality was good -- no chance of see-through.

This is a very cute tote made form luxury leather. It's heavy and well-constructed, and the color is beautiful caramel color. I didn't actually end up using this because I needed it for a trip and it ended up being too small, but if you need a small tote, there are no flaws to mention!

Thick, warm, and high-quality!
These leggings are for the curvy girls who thought leather leggings were off the table. They're thick and they smooth everything out beautifully. I'm tall, so I wish they were an inch or two longer, but they still worked with ankle boots.

Not for even the slightest of curves!
I got these in my usual M and also a L because it's the Holidays and I'm trending more in the direction of a Large... but anyway. I couldn't get the M or the L to zip. I do have wide hips and a much smaller waist, but I thought the high waist and culotte-style of the pants would be perfect for that. Nope! These were very tight in the mid-section and the rise was so short that the pants rode up to give me a wedgie. The ill fit was accentuated by the silver foil-esque material, which draws attention to light and shadow in all the wrong places. Overall, these were probably the most unflattering pants I could ever choose. However, I will say that they are on-trend, well-made and very unique. If you are straight and narrow and have nothing to hide in the mid-section, try them!

Cute!
I liked the pattern on this dress and the sweater material is nice and heavy. Definitely a winter piece. The dress appears boxy but still gives a nice shape somehow. It's definitely more casual. My only warning is that it's a bit short on me, though I'm 5'10". Great everyday dress.

Absolutely beautiful!
I love, love, LOVE this bag. I was super sad to send it back! The color is a beautiful true navy blue. The gold hardware and "Nina Ricci" imprint are just perfect. The outer blue leather is super soft, which is awesome but also means it scratches easily, so be careful! The inside is suede lined. Thank you RTR for turning me on to Nina Ricci!

Fell in love with the material!
The pattern is a tad different than it shows in the photos (my shirt is much more black than white), but with the nature of the pattern, I think it's to be expected. I fell in love with the material. It's a super luxurious, heavy-weight silk. Since it's silk, there is no stretch, so I would order a size up if you've got a larger chest or stomach/bottom. Overall I love it and will definitely keep it for a few weeks!

For skinny arms and narrow shoulders!
Beautiful orangey-red (more red) color and a nice wool material that's not too heavy or thin. I have thin arms and could just barely get them into this jacket wearing a silk top, and I couldn't get them in wearing a medium-weight sweater. I am tall at 5'10", so my shoulders are naturally a bit more broad, but I do think this coat still runs a tad small in the shoulders and arms. Plenty of room in the mid-section. It really doesn't have any way of closing in the front, so it's not exactly warm. Overall very cute piece that's fun to wear until it gets to be super cold outside!

Makes a statement, runs big.
This cape really makes a statement, so be prepared. It's as shockingly red as it shows in the photo, and it has a high collar (I liked it "popped up" better than folded down). It runs very large. I am a true size M on top and if I would have tried this on in a store, I would have ended up buying an XS. Go with the S/P unless you have a very large chest, broad shoulders, and are 5'8" or taller. I wore it out three times and each time, strangers made a "little red riding hood" comment to me. Very cool piece, but must be worn with a ton of confidence!

Wish the LONG was LONG!
I feel bad giving this three stars, because for someone 2" shorter and with a larger chest to fill it out, this would be a home run. I'm 5'10" and this jumpsuit was still too short, even with flats. I opted for kitten heels to make it less awkward, if that makes sense. The top was really big and I had to pin it shut to avoid having my bra show. I don't recommend this for pears or hourglasses -- you can see how its stretched across my mid section and thighs. Overall, the color and material are beautiful, but I wish that the long sizes were actually LONG and the proportions were cut for a taller woman.

Hides everything!
I really loved this jumpsuit for the fit, but I thought I was way overdressed for a wedding. This jumpsuit literally looks like a gown, which I wasn't going for in the least! The legs are seriously 4-5 FEET wide when the fabric is stretched out. I got a ton of compliments, but everyone thought it was a dress. The fit is spot on, and because it's so incredibly wide and flowy, it's perfect to hide imperfections in the stomach, butt, and legs. Beware of the length, though. I wore an 8L and had to wear flats because it just barely brushed the floor. I'm 5'10".

Perfect glam sunglasses!
I loved these sunglasses. The only reason I returned them within 2 weeks is because I was scared I'd lose them. I didn't think these went too well with casual outfits, but when I was "dressed" and looking cute, they were perfect! The slight cat-eye shape was flattering, even on my round face. The gold accents make them perfect with gold accessories or shoes.

Great Jumpsuit!
Pros: Extremely comfortable, the color is beautiful, it's conservative but still sexy (leave the front un-hooked), and it covers flaws pretty well. I am biggest in the hips and thighs, and the ML was not tight at all. Cons: While the pants and arms were definitely long enough (I'm 5'10"AND wearing 4" heels in this photo), the torso was insufferably short (clear as day in my photo -- you can see what I mean). I am pretty proportionate between my legs and torso, so in Long-sized garments, the torso isn't usually a problem. With that said, I probably would have returned it for fit issues if it was a regular rental, but I used Unlimited for this so I gave it a shot. As with most jumpsuits, you need help using the restroom.

Cool culottes!
As far as culottes go, these are pretty long and pretty wide. Definitely statement makers. The black color allows you to be creative with your top. I wore blouses tucked in with both flats and heels. They're very versatile. I would say they run exactly true to size, because the 10 was a tad big on me, which is totally normal for me in most pants. If you're between sizes, go down. I could have worn the 8s because these are roomy. I'm 5'10 and these were a great length on me. They'd probably be too long on ladies under 5'7.

Baffled by the sizing!
I was sooo super excited to wear this dress. I'm between an 8 and 10, but went with the 8 (I think that's as big as they go) despite reviews that said it runs tight in the chest. Well, as you can see in my photo, I had the exact opposite problem! I don't have an exceptionally small chest (34c). This dress was huge all over, not just in the chest. If I wanted to wear it, I would have had to pin about 1.5" on each side. It says it's a U.S. Size 8, but that can't be right! So, I'm letting size 10/12 ladies know that they can get this 14L (U.S. Size 8) and it'll work!!

More casual than I expected
I rented this clutch to go with the formal dress in the photo because i was wearing gold accessories. It's cute, but definitely more suited for skinny jeans and a blazer. It's a bit less structured than the photo shows, and the leather is shiny. Also beware of the size. Phone, lipstick and ID is about all that will fit.

Awesome dress!
This dress is absolutely beautiful and really stands out in a sea of black dresses. I knocked one star because it wasn't a perfect fit for me, but it's my "fault." I would caution tall women with this dress. The length you can get away with because of the asymmetrical hem, but the bodice is short, turning his a-line silhouette into more of an empire-waisted dress. Luckily, it's so beautiful that the fit was overshadowed by the design, but I would have been more confident had it been an 8L. Overall a great rental -- I'm just too tall for it! :)

Exactly what you'd expect!
My very stylish husband was horrified by this dress, but I thought it had potential! He just thought it was "unflattering", and I can't disagree. It looks and feels like a potato sack. It's already shapeless, and the flaps of fabric hanging off the bodice and in the back don't help. I say it has potential because it was too big for me -- I needed a 4 or 6 to tighten up the waist and so the arm holes we're so huge. I thought this ran really large, possibly 2-3 sizes. I lean more toward a 10 in the hips and waist, and I think I could wear a 4 in this (I have a small chest). Also, I must add that it came to the middle of my calf and I'm 5'10, so beware of it's length. I can't wait to see how more women are styling this!

I really liked this casual dress. It's a tad sheer in the skirt, so be sure to wear nude undies. I thought this ran a bit large, but I am 90% smaller on top than on the bottom, so I think everything runs big. I have nothing to gush about or complain about -- looks the same in person as on the site! :)

Pretty, but...
...I had absolutely no clue what to do with this shirt? dress? It's a very beautiful lilac color, and the material is super soft and flowy. It was too short for a dress (on me -- I'm thinking a very petite woman could pull it off as a dress) and too long to look cute with my usual black cropped work pants. I ended up wearing it with leggings and flats, but I felt weird all day. IMO, it's just too dressy to wear as an everyday top, even when dressing it down with accessories and flats. Also keep in mind that there is a LOT of fabric here. Maybe someone with more "vision" for this piece would love it. If so, I'd love to see how you styled it!

Just not for me!
I gave this 4 stars because on someone more straight and narrow and a bit shorter, this is probably a home run. On me, it's a 2-star dress. Because of my height and my hips being so much larger than my waist, the elastic band had to sit above my hips rather than on them. This made the top part bunch up and therefore the straps wouldn't stay on my shoulders. If you're the type of person who can wear elastic bands ON your hips, you'll love this! I was expecting this dress to be a stretchy jersey-like material, but it's more of a structured cotton/linen fabric. There is no stretch, and it wrinkles fairly easily, It has two huge slits on the sides to add a little "something". Overall, this is a great casual dress. Just not for my body type!

The perfect clutch for going out!
This clutch was perfect for a weekend in Vegas. It was more than big enough to fit everything (even my size 11 flip-flops!) without ever looking bulky. I loved the gold hardware accents with the gold jewelry I wore. This may sound strange, but it's honest --- it was large enough that I could hold it in front of my tummy in photos, hah! I would definitely rent this again or buy it on clearance.

Sexy!
This is the perfect dress if you want to look sexy but keep it classy. I thought it ran a tad small, but I also wasn't expecting body-con, which I *think* this dress is supposed to be. I'm not the body-con type, but I loved this dress. The proportions were a bit off because I'm tall. I would have liked a longer bodice and another 2" on the hem. I couldn't wear a bra with this, but again, this may be due to my height. The side strap may fall in the right place to cover a strapless bra on a shorter woman. The only super "con" I had for this was that it twisted all night. My friends had to keep straightening me out. I wore spanx, so I don't know if that was why it was so twisty.

Unique and COMFORTABLE!
This dress is amazing. The pattern "hides" flaws better than a solid-colored dress, the cutouts on the sides make it sexy, and the fabric is heavy, but not "hot." I wore this in Vegas in July and had no issues with the heat. I also liked the conservative length, but I'm tall. It may fall into "midi" territory on shorter women. I could have worn the 8, but the 10 gave me some wiggle room and didn't ride up. I'd go with your normal size and a size up if you have hips and a tummy.

So, so cool -- just too short for me!
I saw some taller women were able to wear this in the reviews, so I took a gamble and ordered my size and a size up. The color is the perfect red, and the cutouts make it very sexy and trendy. With completely flat sandals, it was JUST BARELY too short. If I would have kept my hands in my pockets to pull it down all night, I probably could have worn it. I needed another 1" on the hem to make it work. You cannot wear a bra with this, so busty women beware. If you are 5'8" or shorter, RENT THIS! You'll love it!

Not for covering flaws!
My figure is the most hourglass of all hourglasses, with a tummy I prefer to strap down with spanx or hide with an A-line dress or skirt. I chose this skirt because I thought it would sit right at the waist and be great for covering waist-down flaws. Boy, was I wrong! The material is a silk-crepe type material, and when worn at the waist, it flared out (toward tje front) and literally accentuated my least flattering area. It's not A-Line, so it bulged at my tummy and then fell flat the rest of the way. It's a beautiful, fun skirt, but absolutely not for me. Tall and thin women would be best for this, as the length is long and the material is unforgiving!

This skirt is totally fun and fully covers any and all flaws below the waist. It is incredibly heavy, though, so if you're wearing it in the summer, I suggest a tank top to keep cool. I'm 5'10" and I think I could use another 1-2" on the length, but that's to be expected. OH! And, the dark color in the skirt is navy blue, not black. I was bummed about it but it's still very cool!

5 stars for style, 4 for fit.
This dress is made of a beautiful lightweight material, and the watercolor design is totally unique. You could dress this way up or make it a bit more casual, like I did. The open back is beautiful and adds a very sexy touch to an otherwise very conservative dress. Unfortunately, it isn't the most comfortable or easy to wear piece. If you zoom way in, you can see on the model that the neckline doesn't lay flat. This is true, unless you spread the straps wide on your shoulders, which looks strange. The dress also has zero stretch, so when you sit down, the straps stand up and fall over. I had to keep standing up and pulling the dress taught under my bottom to keep the straps on my shoulders. Just a few other notes: I'm 5'10" and wore flat sandals, but I still would have liked another inch or two at the bottom. Also, there is no way you can wear a regular bra, so larger chested ladies may have an issue.

Loved the neutral colors on this bag. It went with almost everything! My only complaint (and it's not even really a complaint) is that it's cream, so I didn't use it too much in fear of damaging it somehow. The saffiano leather helps, though.
