I wore this with the navy Cinq a Sept Short Sleeve Sloann Sweater (also from Rent the Runway). The outfit felt pretty preppy, but I could see this as part of an edgier look too. A couple of my coworkers seemed to really like it. The fabric was surprisingly soft and light. It was a little wrinkly but definitely still wearable. One warning: It flies right up in the wind so be careful!

This sweater was cute but nothing special. I think I could've sized down, but even though it was a little loose (and definitely not skin-tight) it showed my bra lines. (And my bra was pretty smooth/seamless.) I'd describe the fabric as "slippery knit" if that makes any sense, haha. I rented it to wear with the Victoria / Tomas Mixed Plaid Skirt (also from RTR) and it did the job, resulting in a preppy-ish summer outfit.

I wore this dress to an outdoor summer event and it was very comfortable to wear all day. The thick fabric was a little heavy for the heat, but it really held up to sweat (no sweat stains) and was easy to play lawn games in. I liked the tassel ties at the waist and the fringe at the bottom of the skirt. I also liked that I could go braless. It wasn't notably flattering or anything, but it was still cute and I'd consider renting it again.

This dress kept me pretty cool and comfortable on a hot day. (I even got to skip a bra.) The pattern was cute and summery too. Overall, the dress fit well. It fell just above the ankles on me. My one complaint was that there was some sort of strange flap of lining on the inside just around the neck and arms. I think it was meant to be sewn down (I'm really not sure why it was there in the first place) but on my dress, it was popping out. I had to keep tucking it back in, which was a drawback because I hate anything that looks messy. That extra fabric also made the arm holes feel a little tight.

I thought the pattern could go either way (modern or outdated) in person, so I figured I'd try it out. It wound up looking really frumpy on me. I also realized the open back probably wasn't appropriate for work, which is what I ordered it for. The fit was okay; the zipper was a little tough to get up around my lower back. I sent it back without wearing it.

The colors and pattern on this shirt were gorgeous, but the fit just didn't suit me. The front was a little too big and billowy, while the back was awkwardly long. The arm holes were also a tad tight, so I wound up returning it without wearing it.

This dress had a cute pattern and was really comfy on. The fabric was smooth, soft, and just stretchy enough. It fit me well and I thought the waistline was flattering.

The thick fabric, color, and front and back overlay made this dress seem great for hiding problem areas (and concealing sweat!). I didn't love the fit on me though (I thought it made my arms look bigger) so I wound up returning it without wearing it.
