Arms very long, but rolling sleeves didn't work
The arms were very long, maybe I should've sized down. Tried rolling the sleeves up, but made it very tight.

Knitting feels off
Weaving or knitting felt old / messed up during dry cleaning. I thought it would add more pizzaz but it's just neutral

Grungy moto or warm lumberjack
It was very oversized on me. But it's super warm and the lining was heavenly soft. though a little short so if you're truly using it for cold weather, might not be that functional

Didn't fit me right, didn't wear
I think this has shoulder pads (which I typically like) but the sleeves were too tight for my upper arms and the combo of that and the shoulder pads for very odd on me

Wanted to wear a million times
Definitely a statement jacket. I would wear a million times but it's getting too cold out now. Would rent again in a heartbeat

Fun color. Average fit
Very festive! The fit is cropped and the structure stretched the more I wore it, in a bad way. Definitely produces fuzzies.
Slouchy Knit Sweater
ASHLEY PARK x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"

Very oversized but good for the purpose
I liked how it was double sided. It's very oversized but therefore warm and cozy! Rented twice.
Reversible Hudswell Jacket
Barbour
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"

Bust: 38B
Very easy to wear!
Very nice dress, has the button detail but is actually sewn through most of the chest and torso. This is great because usually these button dresses gap at the chest for me. Would rent again.
Vivian Dress

Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 225lbs
Bust: 38B
Great color, easy to wear
Wore this to a work conference with a blazer and belt. Also wore to a baby shower without the blazer. Could have sized down for a tighter look at the neck was a little looser than I would've liked, it I was wearing this to a work event so I didn't want it to be too tight.
Blue Knit Dress
Jason Wu x RTR
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 225lbs
Bust: 38B
Easy work and casual
Great to throw on over jeans to elevate any look. I also wore it to a work conference, felt very polished. Gold buttons are a nice touch and I loved the color. If you're only height, it will extend a bit lower than the natural waist
Pocket Detail Button Up Jacket
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 225lbs

Very oversized, even for an oversized
I have big arms, so I did size up. But this is definitely an oversized look. Wore it a bunch of times, great heavy wool jacket. Good materials and construction.
The Rosedale Blazer

Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 14

Different play on work dress
Wore to a work dinner with a blazer and belt. Figure flattering for curvy girls. Heavier fabric in the bottom.
Sleeveless Mock Neck Knit Dress
Peter Som x RTR
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 225lbs
Bust: 38B
Super flattering! Size up
This is a fantastic fit for girls with curves and want to cover their arms but still keep cool. Cinches the waist but be careful as the hidden buttons do come undone easily. I would size up to avoid that issue. Length was great, even if you have a butt
Collared Mini Shirt Dress
Jason Wu x RTR
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 225lbs
Bust: 38B
Very cute! a bit tight in the chest
Color and design is super cute. Wore it with high waisted jeans. The boat neck is very flattering on my broad shoulders. But the buttons are tricky, so you need a partner to help you. Also, if you have more than a B cup, probably need to wear stickies instead of a full bra as the chest can be tight.
Mika Linen Top

Didn't end up wearing
For those women that have broad shoulders, the top part of this dress is pretty dainty, so your shoulders / arms might overpower

Size down
SUCH a fun dress! This print is really on trend right now, I wore it twice and was counting the compliments on two hands each time! Definitely size down unless you have a huge chest. Very forgiving on the hips if you are more pear-shaped / hour glass shaped.

Long but comfortable with fun print
Super easy to wear and I got a lot of compliments on the print. It's very light and I wore it in humid DC summer-time. As a 5'5" girl, the size was long but once I belted it and styled it a bit, it was fine. Heads up it's a bit shapeless without a belt, but it's also a kaftan-type dress so maybe that's the look you're going for

Will accentuate your hips
It definitely made my waist small and it buttoned up very well without gaping. However, if you have any hips (not muffin top, but hips) for some reason the fabric really flared out right in that area, so it created very large and wide hips.

Size down!
Definitely size down. If you're curvy at all, the bottom will be just fine for you no matter what. The top was too big and I had to thread and cross the strings through each other. But it sat really nicely on the body. I wore it multiple times at an all inclusive resort vacation

Flattering
Wore for a corporate summer outing. Felt well-covered while still flattering. Had to pin the buttons at the chest, but might not be the case for everyone. Would definitely rent again .

Multi functional
Great pockets, though the inside is a bit more than I needed which could be a-okay for others. Used it for a work conference (first a small notebook in the back slit), and personal use.

Good for work, wear a good bra
Im curvy and smaller in the bust, so usually wrap dresses are too low cut on top, but this one was great. Wear a good bra for lift and structure as this fabric is not structured at all, like a jersey draping

Different and gorgeous
Out of a sea of navy blue suits, this design and color was a standout. I wore to a business-casual dinner and felt great - as edgy as you can be in a stuffy corporate dinner. Would rent again.

Love love love
Am considering buying. Others came up to me and asked me where I got this because they wanted to purchase it without even wearing it! Colors are bold but so fun. I loved everything about this dress, it also helped cover some of my insecurities such as my arms and belly, which can be hard for warm weather ..so this is amazing!

Loose at the chest
The flutter shoulders are cool but the chest way way too large for me and my bra my constantly out even when adjusting the straps to be the smallest possible. Would be great for bustier women. The body fit like a glove though!

Beautiful color, fits snug if you're curvy
This color is gorgeous! It's brighter under direct sun but the velvet allows you to wear it for cooler weather as well. Built in boning means you can wear it without a bra but I did still wear shapewear since the fit was a bit snug around my hips, but I am very curvy so might not be an issue for others. Lots of compliments on the color and neckine
