Size up - fits small
It's a great casual blazer that looks terrific with jeans.

Elegant cross-body
This is an elegant cross-body bag sizeable enough to fit a large wallet, phone, glasses and plenty of other items, which was great! It looks polished and expensive. However, the straps were inordinately long and detracted from the overall appearance.

Cute sweater
It is cut short and rides up a bit; I also found it tight in the arms. So, while I wanted to love it, I wore it once and sent it back. That said if you are a small/medium and like a cropped look, it's a lovely autumn/winter piece.

This was just everyday wear.
I thought this would be more of an everyday skirt to wear for business but it had a sort of taffeta look to it and looked more luxe/evening than I anticipated. Still, a very nice skirt but more for a special event.

Very cute pants - worth a rental for sure!
The pants fit well and I like the bow detail at the waist. However, to look your best in these, you need to pair them with a fitted or crop top as a large, roomy top will make you look like a house. Once properly paired, they are extremely flattering and comfortable,

Nothing. These jeans were for every day. They were fine but not memorable.
These were average. Felt a little too frumpy.

Buttons popped open
The dress is lovely - elegant and classy - perfect for a business function. EXCEPT that the buttons pop open on the back. As I left my meeting, a man ran up to me and said, "You should know that you have 3 buttons open at the back of your dress and everyone can see your bra." I did them up but they popped again half an hour later so I took the dress off and never wore it again; a shame because it was an 8 day rental. Moreover, the dress was not tight. So I was disappointed because I loved it otherwise.

I don't have pierced ears so I'm always renting fabulous looking clips from RTR. But this pair are just too big and heavy. They stayed in their box instead of coming to the ball!

Most practical RTR clutch in the collection!
This elegant little clutch is great. Unlike all those tiny little evening bags that you struggle to close and force you to choose between your iPhone and your lipstick this bag holds everything: Cell phone, makeup, keys, money, credit cards, a little hairbrush, you name it. Goes with everything and looks terrific; seem to think that it even has a little chain if you want to hang it off your shoulder. Super practical!

Elegant cuff that glamorizes any outfit
Elegant cuff that glamorizes any outfit - from a business suit to a cocktail dress to a bathing suit (yes, I wore it with a bikini to the pool at the Fairmont in Singapore). It's a little clunky but not too heavy and because of its neutral tones it goes with everything! Loved it and hated returning it!

Roomy and Elegant Clutch
One of the biggest challenges I have with evening bags is how small they are. This one is a winner! An elegant little bag that easily fit my reading glasses, Blackberry, some money, make up and keys. It looks great with the Christian Siriano Go Orante Dress (what I rented it for).

Beuatiful and elegant - but tiny
The bag is stunning - but the real estate inside is severely limited. I managed to fit a tiny camera, my keys, lipstick, some money and one credit card in this bag and that was IT. My reading glasses didn't fit so I had to carry them around separately, which was a hassle. An iPhone or Blackberry? Fawgeddaboudit! If you have a date that can carry this kind of stuff his pockets for you, go ahead and rent this gorgeous bag. But if not, I'd suggest something with a little more square footage..............

Elegant and Edgy - a Standout
This dress is a joy to wear - a total standout at a black tie event. It's navy (although it came out blue in all my photos). Very elegant but the mesh sides and open back give it just the right amount of "reveal". It gives you a GREAT body. But let's be clear: You need to have some ab definition to really do this dress justice - I did 100 situps/day for 3 days before this event - so worth it, though!

Something Completely Different
If you want to stand out - and a very positive and elegant way - from a sea of "little black dresses" this one's your ticket! It's made of scuba type material and is tough to get on but SO worth it for the way it smooths and slims your body!! This was my back up dress. My friend didn't like either of her 2 dresses and we are the same size - so she wore this one night (and loved it) and I wore it the 2nd night (and loved it).

Elegant and classy
This is a lovely dress - elegant and classy. But I had to go up two sizes and was VERY grateful for the reviews that noted this if you have a big ribcage, which I do. I'm normally a size 4 but could barely get the 8 done up. Once I got it on, however, it is light, flowy and elegant - a dream of a dress; very sophisticated.

Vintage style; great party dress!
Fun little party dress with a vintage feel that lends itself to all kinds of fun options on accessories. But size up when you order this one! I have a large ribcage and found it very small fitting. I could do up the 4 (my usual size) but NO WAY could I wear a bra, not even a strapless. Because of that, I looked rather flat-chested in it and ultimately didn't wear it. (It was my back up dress anyway). Perfect for a spring/summer wedding or party, though!

Stylish, fun, elegant - but very short!!
I loved this dress. The color really pops. It's great for a date and I even wore it to a meeting at the Soho House in New York that morning. BUT it's short - and I'm only 5'3". It was a good 4" above the knee! It's also small fitting- tight through the arms and I needed the 6 when I am nearly always a 4 and struggled to get it done up. That said, it's worth a rental for sure. Love the cut-outs at the shoulders which give some dimension and fun!

Feel like a million bucks for $100!
Usually, when I say "Yeah, they're real" I'm not talking abut my earrings! But there is NOTHING in this world classier than the look of vintage Chanel. They're large and sometimes you think, "OMG, they're going to fall off!" but they're not heavy, they look awesome and they stayed on all night - and I wore them 3 nights in a row! I'd have practically slept with them on. SO MUCH FUN!!

Elegant, gorgeous color
Rented this dress to go to the opera with a friend. It is stunning - passes as a transition from work so that it doesn't look "too evening" but the gorgeous color and great cut make it truly stand out, particularly in a sea of LBDs. At intermission, many people came over to say "I love your dress."

I wore dress this with a faux leopard jacket to lunch with a client at a very upscale New York restaurant. Right away she commented on how much weight I'd lost, how I looked like a model. I will definitely rent this dress again - and the same one in black.

One woman at my table at the gala knew the dress was Tracy Reese and said, "I didn't think that dress was out yet! It's not available on the website. How did you get it?" This caused a stir at my table: How DID I get this gorgeous dress? I just smiled and said, "I have a sort of connection to designers." I sure do! It's called Rent the Runway!
