Itchy as heck
This fabric was like the rough side of a sponge. So scratchy.

Such fun earrings!
They were a little heavy but SO worth it. I wore these to a New Years Eve party. They were just the right special touch!

The perfect dress
I've never gotten more compliments. It fit well and made me feel pretty! The pink is a great hue- not too flesh toned which can make my winter complexion look sickly. But this pink was perfect. The shoulder had some detail but wasn't too ballooned and puffy.

Preppy and summery
I liked the look of the skirt but it is a true wrap skirt and falls open when sitting which was problematic for work but it would be cute out at a summer event.

They fit well but I felt a little "Golden Girls"
These pants are a twist on a black pant. I liked the idea of the slit in the pant in theory but then they seemed like something my grandma wore in the 80s when I put them on. The way they tie in the front was a big part of that. I still wore them out to dinner. The only compliment I received was from a 70 year old. Haha.

I love this blouse. It bells out at the bottom a little more than shown in the picture. I like it because it's not too cropped. I usually wear with a camisole tucked in for warmth underneath. It has an elevated look. I always get compliments wearing this.

Compliments from coworkers
I received more compliments than I expected on this dress. It was a little uncomfortable because it is tight in the rib cage as other reviews mentioned. I also sized up and it was still a little tight.

Thin leg, full length, zipper pocket
These pants were exactly what I was looking for. They were soft, full length, thin leg work pants. The pockets had zippers which I didn't expect, but that was fine.

Fun early spring sweater.
This was a very thick sweater. Soft and double layered . Very warm. I don't think I could wear it if it was more than 50° outside. I enjoyed the playful look. It had puckered from being washed I think, but stretched out when I put it on. It definitely made me more cheerful all day.

Cute sweater. Runs small.
I loved this sweater, especially for a teacher! It does run small. I ordered a large and was very glad I did. I am 5'5" and 135 pounds. But I adored wearing this sweater. It have glittery thread in the apples too.

Thin true wrap dress
I loved this pattern and got it to wear to a party. Wore it a few times but had to pin it at the top or wear a black camisole underneath. It was a great summer dress especially because I'm a sucker for Navy and white.

Fun to wear out and about
This jacket made standing at my kids soccer practice and running errands just a little bit more fun. I found myself exited to go out so I could wear my fun jacket. I was so tempted to buy and I still might. If not I'll definitely rent again

Full length jeans with cute ankle detail
Most jeans with the fray detail hit too high up on my ankle, but these were actually full length on me. I'm 5'5". I also liked the high waist, the color, and the slight stretch as well. They were great jeans.

A very comfortable blazer
This blazer had the right shape, color, and comfort level. I only got to wear it twice but if I owned it it would be a staple in my wardrobe. I typically wear blazers with jeans and it looked perfect styled that way.

Couldn't make it work
I really thought I could make this work from the pictures, but in person it was so short that my chest blended into the "skirt" part of the shirt and looked ridiculous. I didn't wear it.

Perfect for Valentines Day.
I wore this to teach on Valentines Day. I felt festive and fun. I enjoyed this sweater a lot. The sleeves did have a lot of "poof" but for a holiday I didn't mind the extra flare.

Great for everyday
I've loved these pants. They fit a tiny bit big, which is good for me. Wore them with all my neutral tops. I also like that they're not as cropped as other work pants. Good for fall/winter. Thick material.

Wish I owned this
This goes with everything but the pie crust collar and the ruffled shoulder make it special. It's a fun neutral that is very flattering to wear. It does fit a smidge small. I'm usually a true medium and the sleeves were a tiny bit short on me. I might consider ordering a size up.

Having a Nautical Moment
Got compliments on my "nautical" jacket. Haha. I didn't see it like that when I rented it. It fit in since I live in a boating town. As others have said, it's not a stiffly structured jacket. Soft but very thick, very heavy fabric. I was so hot wearing this as a teacher in the fall. Better to be rented in winter, for sure. Or in warmer climates it could be used as a coat.

Cute with high waisted skirt
A little short but cute with a high waisted skirt. It didn't work with a lot of other bottoms though. That's the beauty of a rental instead of owning a piece that's not as versatile.

Slightly odd shape, but fine for working out.
The neck is very high. Maybe this is for activities like yoga so you don't fall out of it. The torso was also a bit long. Otherwise the fabric was nice and it was comfortable, but the shape wasn't flattering on me.

Just add pockets for a perfect skirt.
Loved the skirt. Found myself reaching for it often. Lined, comfy fabric, buttons in front. Perfect sized slit on the side and long ties that weren't annoying. A smidge tight in the waist for my mom tummy, but not terrible. I'd like to try a large to compare. I did keep wishing it had pockets, but otherwise it was great.

Almost bought them but they the fit wasn't perfect.
I loved the way these shorts looked. I liked the high waist, bow, and print. I got tons of compliments each time I wore them. They were only $29 to buy and I almost did but stopped myself for a couple reasons. Firstly, they're actually quite short on the legs. When I bent over I felt like I was showing my rear. Also, they run too small. I wear dress size 6-8 and these were a 10 and they barely zipped so they were a bit too tight. I carry weight in my tummy, so maybe not a problem for pear gals!

Odd sizing.
I ordered this dress in a 6 and 8 and couldn't zip up either size. Luckily, RTR let me swap out for 2 more options. This is the size 10 which is so big in the chest that It was unwearable. I don't have a tiny chest, so I was surprised. I couldn't have even taped this dress on. Luckily I was able to wear the other dress I picked out.

This color block dress stands out
This dress was excellent for a hot wedding in August. It was roomy in the waist where most dresses I tried were too tight. I didn't even have to wear my spanx! The material was of high quality and it didn't wrinkle. I received several compliments and best of all it had pockets!

Easy to wear and lightweight.
The fit is perfect. I was even able to size down from an 8 to a 6 and still be comfortable. Very lightweight but lined above the waist. Wore with denim jacket and sneakers and wedges for different formality. Would rent again.
