Soft and comfy
It's a fun, almost-homemade knit. And soft! I often find sweaters itchy, but not this one. I also like that it's a cheery, bright, but not blinding color. This is the sweater equivalent of comfort food. It's like a big, comforting, cozy hug.

great look, pockets make it a no for me
First. I love the feel of this "shacket". The material is soft and super stretchy, which was surprising to me. added to the comfort. Also love the pattern. Seriously thought about buying this one, but the pockets are a deal breaker. First, they are placed too low. Granted. I have short arms. But I don't usually have this issue. Second they are very shallow angled pockets so they really can't safely carry anything. Like a cell phone. It would fall right out. It's good for very tiny items? But even soft items like gloves, easily fall out if you're careful. I thought about overlooking this inconvenience but just couldn't do it

comfortable and easy to style
Loved this skirt. It's pretty long on my 5'1" frame, but that made it a fun party outfit. You can also dress it down, since it's similarly constructed to button down jeans. I'm thinking about buying it, but might try a size down first.

love it!
Material, fit, color and design! It has a fun pattern but a more tailored formal fit. great for business casual, but I'll probably pair it with a fun skirt and wear it to tea also. It is a tad short, but I didn't find it to be a problem.

short and boxy
Might not sound like a good thing, but oddly it was. it was structured as enough of o maintain shape and it's made of a quality, substantial material. It's pretty heavy, so probably best suited for cool fall weather

fun color, shoulders are wide
I need a large or else it would be too tight on me. But I have a smaller frame and narrow shoulders. So the sleeves wouldn't stay up. A little annoying, but so still wore it! Love the height color.

cute but i didn't wear it
I didn't think about the logistics of wearing a backless top. i'm not comfortable going braless, so I couldn't figure out how to wear it. Love the color and it's really soft.

good fit and length
Nice fit. The waistband is a bit thick and I couldn't get the zipper over it. but I just pulled my shirt over to cover. It's a great length on me, just at knee length. Suitable for work, but also fun

Fun cut and pattern - good color for a holiday party
I didn't wear it because it ended up being a bit too festive and the wrong season for the summer outdoor gala I was attending. It would be great for a holiday party or maybe a fall wedding. It's hard to say why it doesn't seem like a spring or summer dress. It's not so heavy that it would be too warm on a summer evening. But there's something about the green plaid that just seems more fall/winter. I'd definitely rent for the right occasion

Short, but still professional:
I loved this skirt. Fit well. A little short, but it felt fine when I wore it with tights. High quality and well designed. Will rent again! A little pricey to purchase.

Beautiful blouse, loved the fit
This is a very pretty blouse. The material is sheer, but it's lined. I rarely find button down shirts that aren't too tight at the bust and gut, but this one worked. On most people, it might hang more loosely. I will definitely rent again.

Fall dress
It's a nice dress, but the sleeves were a bit too flowy for me. Maybe I'd rent it in the fall. It's a very dark brown and floral.

Didn't wear it
I ignored other reviews that said it was too low cut. And it's not just low cut, but the neckline is very wide and open, so it wouldn't sit righty

Flattering, heavier fabrIc
Fit well, with a nice drape. Unfortunately, there was a stain on the sleeve that I didn't notice before I wore it to work. Other than that, a good shirt that I would have worn again, if not for the stain.

Cute powder pinks bag, conservative enough for work
The color really makes this bag. I've been wanting to try out a bag with the short handle to see how it carries. I like the look, but am worried it's not practical for going to work. We'll see! Bag is roomy, with a few interior zip pockets. Latch on closing flap is easy to use. I plan to keep it a week or two to take to work.

Great quality, fit didn't work for me
The pros: substantial material, lined, well-made, unique cut and design. The cons: I wish I could have tried a size 10, but it wasn't available. The 12 gave me enough room in the waist, which I need, but was too long for my 5'1" frame. If you have a longer torso, it might work, though. On me, there was too much length and width in the shoulders. And it made the bows look like they were poking out too much. Just wasn't a fit for me. If it came in a 12P, I would've had a better chance.

Too long for me to wear
I tried this on and really wanted to wear it. I have a pair of 5" heels that get me to the point where the hem was just grazing the floor. Have thought about giving it a road test, but I've resigned myself to the fact that it's just impractical. So, sending it back. Material is comfy and stretchy. Really wish I could have worn it!

Great fit, better for special occasion
I am pretty round-shaped and the dress has a bit of a cinch to the waist that was flattering from the front view. It also has rouching around the belly, which was a bit odd. But it wasn't a lot and with some shapewear, I was able to avoid looking like I was hiding something in a belly pouch. A very nice open neckline, though a bit low for a more conservative work environment. It's really more of an event or going out kind of dress. Longer length and side slit also adds to that vibe. But I put a wrap over it and it gave me a fun boost of confidence for the day actually! Would rent again. Maybe even buy.

Fun, warm, cozy
Runs very roomy and large. I rented a 44, would rent in 40 next time. Didn't close the coat with the hooks because I needed to be able to wrap it tighter on me when walking around. Fun coat though. I wore it to the office, but it's probably a bit too much for the conservative environment there. Well made, clean, new. Really enjoyed it. I'm not sure I'd want to own a coat like this, but this is why I have RTR unlimited, to try items outside of my typical comfort zone! This was fun and perfect for that.

Very thin material, not what I was looking for
More of a late spring, summer or early fall dress. Very thin silk material. When I first put it on, it had a lot of static. It's still a bit chilly here, so I didn't wear it. The cut and fit might be a bit casual for work, but if I put a tailored suit jacket over it, it would work. I might rent again when weather is warmer.

Well made jacket. Very heavy material, could even use it as spring outerwear. Next time I'll order a smaller size. The sizing is roomy, not a fitted cut, which makes it cozy and easy to wear.

Nice jacket, odd collar
The jacket itself was a nice cut and length. The contrast color on the collar is fun, too. But the cut of the collar, or how it lay, was a bit odd. Never quite figured it out. Maybe it didn't fit me correctly.

Shapeless, odd cut for collar
Not a fan of the cut of this coat. I kept it awhile as I needed a winter coat for work besides my puffy coat and didn't have time to buy one. I might have gotten one size to big, but the collar opened very low on me, requiring a large scarf. The shoulders were droopy. I wanted the pink collar to be cute, but it didn't seem to flow with the rest of the coat. I never wore it with it on.

Fun, comfortable fit. Sleeves a bit too much character for a more conservative work environment. I like all of these knit Shoshanna dresses. If I could keep one in my wardrobe, this is probably the one.
