Lovely fabric
This sweater just feels so nice that I wanted to wear it every day! It was a bit large on me though--I usually wear a L or XL and the XXL was just way too big. But I still wore it constantly while I had it.

very nice
although I wasn't crazy about the fit on me--the chest seemed a little too tight while everything else seemed good--I like this dress. Fabric is very soft and lovely. What I didn't expect is that the color would blend in with my red hair--not a great dress for redheads I guess!

So soft and luxurious!
I loved this coat with the one caveat being that the pockets were down over my upper legs. Otherwise the coat appeared to fit me...

Fun!!
I loved the pattern of this top. The fabric is thick, stiff, and does not drape, but was kind of cool. I usually wear a 14/16 and the XL was huge on me. The top gives off a fun vibe.

OK blouse
The blouse is OK--had an unusual cut with a strange neckline and very short in the front. The pattern is great and looked really good on zoom. The fabric is nothing special. I usually wear a 14/16 and the 54 was huge on me. I wore this once and enjoyed it but will not rent it again.

Long lean line on a non-long lean girl
This top was made for me. Loved the asymmetry, the tie waist which both allows custom fit and emphasizes waist, colors great, but what was really perfect was the LENGTH! Most tops on RTR are too short for my long torso (and my problem abdomen area....) but not this one. I felt like a million bucks in this.

Lace trousers that can be worn for everyday!
Loved the style and color. I am very curvy and pear shaped and my usual size fit but without any slack. I wore them anyway but had trouble deciding what to wear with them. Tried a gray top as styled in pic but looked bad. White too peppy with the red, prints WAY to busy--went with simple black t-shirt and silver sandals. Looked OK. Enjoyed but won't rent again.

Fun, cute, and very useful!
I love this bag. Rented it for trip to San Diego and wore it everywhere in backpack mode. Has top handle and comes with both crossbody and backpack straps. Both are good. Perfect size for wallet, phone, glasses case, a few cosmetics, scarf, and even a thin sweater stuffed in. Really great bag!

Love it but tight across bust
Looked very put together but also summery! Loved the covered buttons. Sadly size XL gapped at bust and no snap there to help. Wore anyway once but very self-conscious--wouldn't do that again. I am 38D and usually wear a L or XL.

Great neckline and airy but covered arms
Loved this summery blouse. Perfect for some sun protection as arms mostly covered, although airy so not hot. Great neckline. Torso is lined so not see through but I would still recommend a nude bra as colors can be seen. Blouse a little long but half-tuck solved that. Excellent summer top!

Unwearable due to extremely tight elastic in sleeves
I liked the overall fit and playful pattern but the elastic in the sleeves is SO TIGHT, ridiculously tight, that this top is unwearable. Very disappointing.

Light as air top
Loved the colors and airy fit. Fabric is nice but very thin--it's almost like you're wearing nothing at all. If these are your colors you will love this top.

Busy Bohemian dress
Couldn't wait to get it, but it was not good. I had hoped for a "feminine" vibe but instead the dress looked boho-there is a lot going on with this dress with all the ruffles and asymmetry. It was extremely low cut and the armholes were very large on me, but perhaps I needed a smaller size than my usual 16. Also my friend who I tried it on for said it looked sort-of country, and she's right. Add a pair of cowboy boots and you'd be good to go. Returned without wearing.

Great nicer-than-usual casual pants
These are great--not too baggy or harem-like, nice length, comfortable waist band. I have worn them several times, each time with a fitted black t-shirt as shown on RTR. I am pear shaped and these looked good on me. Many compliments!

Nice, not exciting
Lovely dress, soft flowing fabric, good for a professional event or a day at the office. Neckline excellent, length perfect. Tie in front helps hide any abdominal misdeeds. Nothing to be excited about, though.

Fun color, very low cut
Loved the color and the airy eyelet sleeves! Top came with bow pre-tied at side-I appreciated that. Cons: very low cut, zipper on side difficult to get up and down, front of wrap pressed incorrectly so it was folded down, and front of top had a few kind of dirty-ish areas that maybe reflected being pressed often. Would look fantastic with white jeans and metallic accessories!
