Cute but VERY cropped
Adorable, but because of how cropped it is, belly is exposed, even with very high waisted bottoms.

Way too tight! Couldn't button!
I wear a size 4 or 6 in almost everything, and this was way too tight! I couldn't button it around my rib cage or bust.

Unflattering
Dress fit, but was just unflattering. The poof around the butt made me look particularly rotund in the hips. Didn't end up wearing

Weird arms!
This is cute but the arms are bizarre! Very poofy but then oddly tight elastic - ended up not wearing because the elastic on the arms was irritating and uncomfortable

Slit is a bit too much for work but loved!
Love this - chic and sophisticated and fun. I found that the way the dress wraps create a slit that is probably a bit much for work, but great for dinners out

Absolutely love the look of this dress. The print is so fun and it's very flattering, however it is a lot of cleavage so beware

I wore these postpartum when I was no longer in maternity clothes, but my pre-pregnancy Jean still didn't fit. Absolutely loved these. Just enough stretch and great fit.

Totally see through - not sure how anyone wears these!
These are completely see through. Could see my nude colored underwear from a mile away. Adorable pants and good fit, but cannot imagine what anyone wears with these or how anyone wears them! Such a shame as they are adorable

Cheap looking
Ended up not wearing - needed for a formal black tie wedding, and these just looked too cheap and costume-y for me. Felt like something I would've gotten at age 6 to match a Barbie doll. Additionally, very heavy and easily would've fallen off over the course of a night. Would not recommend

I ADORED these earrings. Wore them to a black tie wedding with a black dress. They added the perfect pop of color and flair, and looked very sophisticated (didn't look like costume jewelry). Received compliments all night long!

Awkward on me - better for taller, slim figures
This dress is adorable, but just too awkward for my body type. I'm short and petite but curvy, and the dress fit me like a burlap sack - it looked like I was drowning in it. The sleeves were massive and the dress looked excessively large and frumpy on me. I would recommend for very tall, slim figures. I ended up not wearing.

Fabulous! Chic and sophisticated, a perfect conservative statement piece for work.
This jacket is hands down one of my favorite things on RTR - I received tons of compliments! It is chic and sophisticated, and pairs well with skinny black slacks, pumps, and a black tighter top. It is professional while still making a statement. The material is suit-type material - sleeves were a little long, but look good folded. Can't wait to rent again!

Awkward - wanted to love it, but just so awkward
This sweater just didn't work for me. It is extremely cropped, much more so than I realized from the picture. It hits just above the waste, and the sleeves are incredibly long. Tried to wear it with a few different outfits (high waisted jeans, with a button down under it), but nothing worked.

A bit larger than most DVF wrap dresses - perhaps it's the material
I am the usually the biggest fan of the DVF wrap dress, and wear a DVF wrap dress about once a week. This one, however, fit differently than all the others. It may be the slinky material, but I had trouble keeping this one in place, and had to wear a tank under it to avoid inappropriate cleavage. I found myself fidgeting with the dress all day. For that reason, I probably won't rent this specific style and material again.

Perfect work dress - professional, fun, stylish, and comfortable!
This dress is great for work - it's comfortable, fits in the right places, and is the right combination of professional, stylish, and fun. I am typically a size 6 in Tibi, but opted for a size 4, which fit well (but I could have gotten away with a size 2). I would recommend ordering at least 1 size down. The interesting hemline in the front and the tie in the back make this dress unique, while still remaining conservative enough for work. I wore a few times and received countless compliments. Will definitely rent again!

Cute, but such a pain to take off!
The other reviews are true - this romper, while adorable, is more of a pain than it's worth! It buttons all the way up the front (from naval to chest), as well as around the wrists. In order to go to the bathroom, you have to completely unbutton all of the buttons both up the front and around the wrists (about 8 buttons total - the wrist ones are the most difficult). It makes going to the bathroom a major production. Additionally, similar to other reviews, the belt did not come with the romper, which was disappointing. Overall, the romper is adorable and I received several compliments - it's worth renting, but be warned, it's a hassle!

The perfect top
This is hands down one of my favorite items. It's chic and sexy, and can easily be dressed up or dressed down. I've worn with jean shorts and flip flops for a casual daytime outfit, and with pants and wedges for a night out. I've rented it twice, and am always complimented when I wear it. I think I may have to buy this one!

Conservative, professional, fun, and feminine!
I adore this dress. It's conservative and professional enough for work, but the pattern and fit makes it fun and feminine. I received tons of compliments, and the pattern is gorgeous in person! It's a white background with a deep navy floral pattern. I always wear a size 6 in DVF wrap dresses, it allows enough extra room to cover my cleavage.

Adorable, classic and simple, but a bit short, and wrinkles easily
This is an adorable classic and simple dress. Plan to pair it with a statement necklace or a fun blazer. It runs a bit small, but not enough to merit ordering a size up. A few things to caution: 1) it's a bit on the short side (and that's coming from someone who's 5'2) and 2) the material causes it to wrinkle big time. After wearing for a few hours, you'll have some heavy wrinkles in the front area from sitting. The navy color makes it less noticeable, but still something to be aware of.

Love this! So chic and fun
I love this blazer - it's chic and looks very expensive. It's important to note two things: 1) it runs small, and 2) the material is more of a quilted cotton-y material, as opposed to a traditional tweed. This material makes it a warmer jacket, so be sure to rent only if you're in chillier weather. If you wear it in the hot summer months, you'd be roasting.

Cute, but best for small-busted ladies
This shirt is adorable, but is best for small-busted women. I'm a 34C, and the top was very tight in the chest area, and very large in the stomach area (as is inherent with this style). This combination made me look pregnant and/or fat. I adore the shirt itself, but it's just not the most flattering on my body type.

Cute, sophisticated, and versatile!
I love this jacket. You can dress it up to wear to work, or dress it down with jeans. It's versatile and lightweight. I received tons of compliments. I usually wear a size 4 or 6, but none were available so I got a size 8, and it ended up working perfectly. The 8 gave me enough wiggle room in the arms, without being too large. Can't wait to rent again!

I adore this dress. It's fun, yet conservative enough for work. The material is stretchy - I probably should have rented a size small instead of medium. I will definitely rent it again. I receive multiple compliments every time I wear it!

Runs large, and is black (not navy)
Overall, it's a cute jacket that can be worn both inside and outside. The fit was just too large on me, and it was much longer on me than on the model. It hit my lower to mid-thigh. From the picture, I assumed the jacket was green, white, and navy, but it is actually green, white, and black. Overall, it's cute and fun, but rent a size down!

Loved it, sort of.
Loved the dress, however, it was a little too long on me. I ended up pairing a big brown belt with it right at the waist line, folding the dress over under the belt to make it shorter. The dress actually looked MUCH better with a belt--would recommended having one handy if you're renting this. Ordered both an 8 and a 6 (I usually wear a 6), but had to wear the 8 because my boobs didn't fit into the 6. Great for girls with big bust sizes--you can wear a normal bra with it. Would definitely rent if you have a belt to pair with it!
