Cute details, a little stiff
This sweater was ok. I was expectig it to be super soft, but it was on the stiffer side and would poof out a little in the tummy area. It wasn't itchy though. I wore it with casual velvet pants and with skinny jeans. I liked it, but probabiy wouldn't rent it again.

Great details
This top has great, well proportioned feminine details like pleats and ruffles and a bow. Oftentimes, some of these elements are way too large and look odd. It also tucked in well and the sleeves were the perfect length for me. The top seems true to size but maybe slightly on the smaller size.

Great statement earrings
I needed statement earrings for a black tie event and got these at the RTR store in SF. They were just the right size and sparkle to complement my Rachel Zoe dress. They arent super heavy but aldo not super light weight. I really liked them.

This dress was perfect!
I wore a size 6P (the review drop down doesn't allow me to choose this size). I am 5'3" and wear a street size 4/6, but an 8 in most formal dresses, but the 6P fit me perfectly. I wore 2.5" heels and the length was just above the floor. The embroidery on the skirt is beautiful , but doesn't show up much in photos, so the dress is even prettier in person. The back has a nice sheer design with some beading, so a shorter hairstyle or up do works well with this dress and you don't really need a necklace. I rented a Kate Spade bracelet with some sparkle and they looked great together.

Great color
I loved this blue color and I think the cut would work for many types of events, but the material wasn't quite formal enough for a black tie event. I wear a 6 these days, but the 4 fit me best up top, so I think it runs a little large. The skirt doesn't just fall flat, but has some structure, so it flares out a bit.

Pretty for black tie
I wore this with a long black gown to a black tie event. It is the perfect amount of sparkle without being chunky or garish. So pretty.

Cute shape, but low cut
The material was nice and I got a very new dress, but the V was too low cut for me, so I didn't end up wearing it to my event.

Conservative. Not great for petites.
I tried this on through unlimited for a formal event and decided not to wear this style. I am between a 6 and an 8 and the 8 was the right size for me in this dress. I am 5'3" so the dress was a little too long for me. Unfortunately, they don't have petite sizing for this dress. The quality seemed nice and I think the dress was basically new, but it is a very conservative dress. It would probably work for a conservative work function if you dressed it up with some statement jewelry.

Ran small, at least for me
I am usually a street size 4 or 6. I ordered the 6R based on other women's reviews, but I could not zip the dress up. The dress was in great condition and the weight and details of the fabric was lovely. I would have had to size up at least one more size.

Not for short ladies
This dress is beautiful. I just wish they had a petite version. I'm 5'3" and the V is a little deep, but I could have figured something out. The length of the size 6 was too long though. I think it would have looked great if I were a few inches taller. The fringe detail of the neck was a little tricky though. It seemed like some of them would stand up while some would flop down.

Cute and interesting top.
I am between a size 4 and 6. I ordered the Small through unlimited first and it was a tad too snug right where the white material covers my belly. The upper part fit perfectly and looks great. I hope the medium works for me.

A great looking jacket
The small is a little snug for me if I want to wear anything but a super thin layer underneath. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6. It's a great looking jacket though. I'm 5'2", so it's a good length for me. The only thing that made me a little sad was that the particular jacket was showing signs of wear. I somewhat expected this given the rave reviews previous folks have given - many people said they kept the jacket for a long time because they loved it so much.

Nice basic top with classic details
I am usually between a 4 and a 6, but the 6 fit me well. Not too loose but left me a little room to be comfortable. The material has a little stretch. The navy is nice, but made it a little difficult to pair with jeans. I wish there was another color option. Mine was new with tags when it arrived - score!

A nice statement top to dress up basics
The print is cute and is great for dressing up basic skinny jeans or black pants. I wore it to work. It runs small in the shoulder/arm area. I'm typically a 4 or 6 but got the 8 because that was the only size in stock and while the rest of the top was a nice relaxed fit, the shoulder area was a little too tight. I might try the 10 if I were to rent again, but I am a little worried that the rest of the top would then be too big.

Cute top for everyday
This is a cute top which is flattering, particularly for those that don't necessarily have a completely flat belly. I liked the pattern and the relaxed fit. I wore it with skinny jeans and booties. The material does wrinkle a little easily and it runs a little large, so I will probably try the XS last time. I am typically between a 4 and a 6.

Really disappointing - Look nothing like the photos at all
This ring set arrived in bad condition. In the photo, they show up as rose gold, white gold and yellow gold, but when they arrived they were not cute at all. They were all sort of a muddy silvery color. The two yellow gold ones were more yellow, but the rose gold was barely any rosier than the white gold and they all just looked very worn and tired.

Longer and bigger on me than expected.
I normally wear a 6, but got the 8 through Unlimited because I'm about 6 months pregnant. It did fit around the belly (so for those of you who are not pregnant, you may find the fit a bit loose), but it was longer in the sleeves and body than I expected. I did like the weight though. Too bad it doesn't come in a petite.

Super cute bracelet set!
I really liked these cuff bracelets. I didn't wear them together, because I thought it was a bit too much to wear both at one time, but I found that either one really helped dress up very casual simple outfits. Very versatile, light and comfortable.

Cute casual scarf
Pineapples are my thing, so I was super excited to see this on RTR. I rented it with my unlimited membership. I never wear scarves, but this was a nice accessory for my wardrobe for a week. The colors and perfect for spring/summer and the scarf is super lightweight. The one I received was brand new and still had the tags on it.

Nice dress, but runs large.
This dress would be great for holiday parties or a work function. It's got some pizzazz but a more conservative shape - not too short...no low neckline. I am usually a size 6, but the 6 that I tried on was definitely too loose all around. If I rent this for an event in the future, I will try the 4.

This is a cute and comfortable dress, but runs large.
I liked this dress, and based on reviews thought I'd be safe with a size 6 since I am a 6 that sometimes fits an 8 when wearing designer labels. It was a little big in the upper body and since I'm short, the length was a little longer than I'd like. If I rent this one again, I'll go with a 4. It's nice for work and other more conservative events.

Great bag!
This is a very cute bag and is well made. It's heavier than I expected, but not too heavy. It just feels substantial. I carry it with the short handles as I'm not crazy about the crossbody look. I'll be keeping this one for a couple weeks.

Cute pattern, but not for me
The upper body was rather tight and flattening. I am a 34B and felt that anyone bigger wouldn't fit this comfortably. I really liked the pattern and how it looked on the model in the photo though.

Not for me
A tad tight in the upper waist area and a little too loose in the chest area so it wasn't particularly flattering for me. It was softer than I expected though and the pockets were a nice touch.

Fun dress for a formal event
I wore this dress to a black tie event. I didn't want to wear something long or super formal, so I chose this dress for it's fun cut. You can dress it up easily - I wore a short sparkly necklace and a sparkly bracelet. It fits true to size. The skirt is a very full skirt, so might be a bit too much material for some. I personally would have preferred just a little less fabric, but the bigger skirt works well for pear shaped people like myself. I'm 5'2" and the length hit around the knee which was good for a black tie event. The only complaint I have is that even though there is a lining under the skirt, the underside of the top materal is itchy so when I was sitting down my legs felt like they were getting pricked by something.
