Got this for beach vacation to a resort...
But the trip got cancelled - would have been PERFECT resort wear! I did wear it on a casual afternoon that was unseasonably warm but it did seem a bit out of place for November! Would rent again.

FABULOUS top!
Great color - thick, high quality fabric - there is a zipper the full length of the back so you might need help getting it on/off...Nice little folding detail on the cap sleeves. Will definitely keep on the "rent again" list. Would rent this if it came in other colors!

Great color, weird front seam + runs REALLY big
This was a great color and a nice quality fabric. However the dress ran VERY large (see how much fabric I was able to grab on side and back). Also there is a weird seam detail across the bust that I didn't care for. Didn't wear.

Good quality, but a bit boring?
There is nothing wrong with this dress. The fabric is thick yet breathable - high quality feeling. It feels a bit on the frumpy side - perhaps it is the tea-length-ness of it...but yet the front V-neck cuts quite low (not conservative)...You definitely need to think through your undergarments - from this photo you can see that even light colored undies show through - left dark bra on to show that it has good coverage around arm holes, but it goes low in front. Dress was actually very comfortable - but I didn't wear it for a vacay because I wanted something that didn't feel...I don't know...boring. I would probably rent again, actually, but for a more conservative occasion and then I would wear a camisole of some sort (and full slip).

Interesting dress shirt that gives you wings...!
I love a good white/cream collar shirt for the office...This double layer piece was interesting but it was also borderline silly (see wing created when you lift up your arm). The material was high quality and I liked the gold-tone hardware. The sleeves are a bit long but easy to cuff back and still look nice. It is forgiving if you have any lumps or bumps since it's so lose (by design). It's definitely a RTR piece...I'm not sure if I will rent again...maybe.

Fun jeans - perfect RTR item!
These definitely have a "worn" look, either on purpose or because I have an old pair of jeans. Either way, it wasn't a bad look, and it also meant that the pants were super comfy and soft. I own another pair of AMO jeans in the same size (26) and these fit much looser - both at waist (see photo) and through leg. But they still looked good, but I might try a size down next time. I would not normally pay near-$300 for jeans with this sort of "novelty" pattern, so this was a perfect time for RTR. That being said, all the Gen Z ladies at my office loved these when I wore them on a Friday, so I think I'm probably just put of the fashion loop and maybe they're worth purchasing sometime in the future with a healthy discount. Or not...! I'd rent again for sure.

GORGEOUS print and fun sleeves!
This is a colorful, fun blouse. I got a size 10 because it was all that was available and it fit - so this must run small (I typically wear a small, but have broad shoulders). It is a nice conservative, work-appropriate shirt (high neck so looks good in video conference) but can also be worn with jeans or other clothing to dress it down. Seemed like high quality fabric and construction as well. Will rent again.

Weird fit, muted color and wrinkles = didn't wear
This top didn't work for my body type...it was lose, empire cut but also cropped in length. The color was also a muted teal - not a strong jewel color, so it almost looked faded. The fabric was a nice substantial weave, but also came very wrinkled and I wasn't able to quickly steam out the wrinkles - so since it also didn't fit well, I didn't bother to spend more than a few minutes with the steamer. The neck ties didn't seem to ever tie right - looked awkward. I won't be renting again.

Fun layered charm look
This was a nice quality necklace - it was trendy with the multiple layers that sort of got tangled (annoying) and charms. The charms were high quality so it didn't feel like a cheap piece. Which it shouldn't with that retail price! I didn't end up having an occasion to wear the piece before needing to return it, but I liked it enough to note that I would like to rent it again in the future.

Fun versatile blouse that can be dressed up or down
This is a great all-purpose blouse that elevates any outfit. It can be worn with a casual outfit (think jeans) or for a work setting (over a black tank or a black long sleeve layer). Because of the sheerness, it can be used in any season which makes it a very versatile piece - worth purchasing perhaps. (Good blouse for video conferencing!) Will rent again.

I love these jeans! I bought them!
This is my first RTR purchase - that's how much I liked these (and they were a bargain). I really liked the front-of-leg seaming and ankle notch details - they definitely add a lot of interest. The fit on my waist was just right - not overly high-wasted (i.e. that would look weird when the super high-waist trend fades) but also not low rise (which I'm too old to wear now). For me and my body (muscular/athletic legs, small waist) these were a great pair of jeans.

Runs small - band at bottom of sleeve puff is very tight.
I thought this might be a fun "elevated" comfy sweat type shirt that I could pull off on a casual day at work. The detail on the fabric is interesting - see close up in photo - it has threads of different colors running through it. However, the fabric wasn't particularly soft (not sure if it was because of those color threads or if it was because it is washed so much - whatever the case it was not "favorite sweats" soft). It was also very short, but I knew that from reviews and was okay with that. However, the band at the bottom of the sleeve puff, just above the elbow, is very tight. I am athletic, but don't have bulging muscles or flabby arms, so I was surprised this was a problem spot. I thought about reordering in Medium, but because it is not a particularly soft material, I haven't done so yet.

Great for work and fun for St. Patty's Day!
Loved the tie and the dramatic puff sleeves (they were still work appropriate). This is a very conservative work shirt, but because of the lux fabric and color, it also makes for a fantastic St. Patrick's Day party shirt! I would definitely rent again.

Nice black jumpsuit that fits GREAT on the bottom but awkward on top.
Jumpsuits, by nature, are difficult, but I was surprised at how well the pant part of this one fit (save maybe being a touch too long - I should have worn higher heels in this photo). However, the top fit sort of strange - a bit of a batwing thing going on in the armpit area. Also the front sort of gaped open. It looked fine for the bridal shower that I wore it to, but I don't think I would rent again.

Interesting, stretchy shirt that is comfy but not flattering to broad shoulders/wide face
The material is very comfortable. Very stretchy (if you have "soft" arms, you might feel a little self conscious )...the part of the design that bothered me the most was the black waist band was placed too high for it to feel comfortable by about 1-1.4" and I'm not particularly long waisted. I do like the design feature of the peplum skirting with the visible contrast. I have broad shoulders, and I felt like the neckline accentuated my shoulders and also the high cut neck sort of makes my face seem more square (as opposed to a V-neck that elongates). Unique shirt but not personally a good fit for me (so probably won't rent again).

Great work blouse that is surprisingly stretchy
Great basic work blouse with some unusual elements. The best part about this shirt is that it is slightly stretchy so that my shoulders fit fine (without having to get a bigger shirt that then doesn't fit elsewhere). So comfortable. The pattern isn't remarkable, but the black and white meshes nicely with my core work pieces, and the color blocking (black on the bottom) is another little detail that makes it different from a plain patterns blouse. The ties are nice and help add a bit of polish - but I like scarves and ties, so your mileage may vary if you don't like such things. I would add to my work wardrobe rotation and rent again periodically.

Decent shirt for work but nothing spectacular
This fit a little tight across my broad shoulders. The print was good for work or a night out, and I wore it multiple times. However I wouldn't buy it...the fabric felt cheaper than the price tag would imply 6 thin...and compared to other work blouses I got in same order, the seams were constructed in a cheaper method (just serged together as opposed to enclosed French seams, etc.). I would rent again for a versatile work blouse but would not buy...that's what RTR Unlimited is for!!!

Unusual skirt/pant with thick textured fabric
I liked the concept of the really wide leg pant that looks like a "tea length" (on me at 5'5") skirt. The look of a skirt with the ease of pants (probably good if you preset on a panel or are at an outdoor event that could be windy etc. to avoid wardrobe malfunction. The fit was a little bit and I'd probably size down to 2 next time, but I would rent again. The fabric is substantive with a pebbled sheen that is unique and makes it a bit more dressy. Wore it with another RTR piece (Equipment blouse).

Very comfortable button up (even for broad shoulders) suitable for work or play
Nice thick, substantial fabric. The houndstooth print was cute with the red stars. I love a "built in" scarf tie on a nice blouse and this one was a good length. I was actually surprised how comfortable my broad shoulders felt in this shirt - I was worried that getting a size small (which fits the rest of my body) in a non-stretchy material might mean I have alligator arms all day, but low and behold, I can totally reach up, out and around with not restriction/constriction! I will definitely rent again. The shirt was not very new - upon very close inspection, it appears to have been dry cleaned a lot; HOWEVER, because of the thick fabric, it seems to have worn well - in fact, I would contemplate buying the shirt.

Comfortable, versatile blouse that I'll rent again!
This is a great blouse - the high neck makes it conservative and appropriate for work, but the fun metallic detailing make it glamorous for a "night out" piece - classy look with high end jeans or well cut/fitted slacks. Definitely will rent again!

LOTS of flaps and ruffles. A stylish maternity option?
My husband asked when I was taking off...haha. I am 5'5" and the volume of fabric was just too much (it is a heavy sweatshirt material)...I wanted to like, and I think it would have been okay if the sleeves had been closer cut or more "plain" - I put it in several times but couldn't bring myself to wear it in public. I DO think it would be a great shirt if I was pregnant or otherwise trying to camouflage the stomach area. I also think that the taller your frame, the better it looks probably because you will look less consumed by flaps and ruffles!

Roomy and unique vest
Definitely runs large - little bit boxy and could make you look larger than you are...but flip side is that it can fit over layers without straining such that multi-layer dressing approach is very comfortable. Mine was a "well loved" piece so the button holes were not super tight so the vest would easily come unbuttoned. Not a huge deal since I was wearing this as a casual piece. I would rent again.

Unique jacket that is not good for broad shoulders
Unique and fun cut jacket. I decided to wear it with the tie in the back because it emphasized my waist. However, the jacket was small in the shoulders (albeit I have broad shoulders). The tie in the back is also a little awkward because it doesn't stay tight, so you have to tighten periodically. All in all, it was fine for a work event but it wasn't comfortable enough for me to want to wear more than once.
