A simple, classic silhouette
Fit perfectly and is very forgiving. I paired this with Smartwool tights and suede booties for the colder weather and it effortlessly transitioned to several events during the month - from a friend's art show to a couples brunch to drinks with friends. Pockets were an added bonus, and am considering hanging onto this one for another month to get me through "food baby" season.

Birds of Prey Dress
Adam Lippes x RTR
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 133lbs
Bust: 34C
For small-waisted women only!
This top was super cute but I couldn't even begin to get this snapped up at the waist despite fitting well everywhere else. I am typically a size 4 in most garments from RTR, and while not exactly blessed with a small waist (29.5") I sized up at the other reviewer's suggestion. Sizing up to a medium didn't cut it though and would suggest sizing up two sizes if you are of a similar straight build. If you have a larger waist (and a fragile ego), I would recommend skipping this rental altogether.

Fun coat!
Loved this cute little coat for sprucing up an otherwise boring ensemble, and bonus points for arriving with tags still on. The coat would have been too tight for my wide shoulders with a sweater but worked great over a simple cashmere turtleneck. Lots of room in the body itself and great for crisp, rain-free PNW days. Wore this multiple times and always received compliments each wear.

Beautiful and flowy
Gorgeous dress, and a small amount of stretch meant it was very forgiving. Flowed beautifully, but could hold a little static at times. Good nude-coloured foundation garments are a must since as others have mentioned, this dress is surprisingly lightweight and sheer (a black bra showed through and did not work on top). Overall a very pretty dress that I will quite likely rent again.

Comfortable!
Fit perfectly and really appreciated that there was a snap located at the top of the wrap to prevent it from falling open. It was really easy-to-wear, feminine, and flattering.

Sophisticated and classy.
While this dress was a smidge too big in the hips (the fabric stuck out a little), it actually made my boyish frame look a little curvy (which is a plus in my books)! There is a bit of stretch to the fabric but be warned that long strides are not possible which was fine since I was wearing heels anyway. The dress overall was extremely flattering due to the heavier material that smoothed everything down. Would consider renting again!

Classic dress
This dress arrived new with tags on. It seemed borderline frumpy on me but pushing the sleeves up a little made it feel a little less so. Overall, the dress is beautifully made and the heavy material allows it to sit really smoothly on the body. It has a little stretch and skimmed rather than hugged the body making it super comfortable and I felt sexy wearing it. I do have wide shoulders, so women with narrower shoulders could potentially size down. I rented this for a photography project as part of my Unlimited subscription and hubby LOVED it so much he decided to take me out for dinner just so I could wear it again! :)

Lexi Dress
Cinq à Sept
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 133lbs
Bust: 34C
Cute and flirty
I wasn't able to verify how this dress was for fit with any certainty because (a) it did not come with a belt and (b) what I *think* was once an elasticized waist had been utterly stretched out to the point that it no longer resembled elastic. I tried it with a belt of my own, and while it would have been cute with one, the belt I had didn't really go with the dress. Instead, I wore it completely loose (the dress is sheer, and thus you could still see my shape underneath) and received so many compliments!!! It was fun and flirty, and paired with white Converse sneakers, I felt super cute while running errands. Plus.... pockets!!! Despite the flaws, I would definitely rent again (would have purchased this one if it hadn't been so "tired" looking).

Beautiful dress
Sad to report that I did not wear this due to a fit issue. I think this would be a PERFECT dress for someone who is pear shaped. The heavy fabric is really beautiful and stretchy EXCEPT at the waistband, which has zero give. Since I am built like a ruler, this did not work in my favour. Overall, the bodice fit snugly in a flattering manner, the waist was too tight as mentioned, but the skirt was large at the hips which I think would have been super obvious had I bothered to size up. Sad, but I may try again after I spend a little more time at the gym.

Fun rental
This is a perfect little layer piece between seasons when it's not quite warm enough for a t-shirt alone. I usually wear a Medium, and based on other reviews, sized down to a Small. Super glad I did! Even with my long arms and broad shoulders, there was still plenty of room. I wore this for running errands and received a couple of compliments. It's not something I would ever purchase, but was fun to wear for a few days.

Easy to wear!
This was a really versatile jumpsuit that looked just as cute with flat sandals as it did with sneakers or chunky heels. It is really breathable, the open back was really nice on warmer days, and the pant length was perfect. I received compliments wherever I went in this. CONS: I wish it had been a teensy bit longer in the torso, but it wasn't a problem.

Nice print, but nothing special.
This is an easy-to-wear pajama style shirt. As per the other reviews, I downsized to a Size 38/US2 from my usual Size 6, and even with my broad shoulders, there was still plenty of room. While I did manage to get a few wears out of this, it's worth noting that I received ZERO compliments. Doubt I would rent again since overall it was just "meh".

Beautiful dress, but did not wear.
This dress was beautiful, however, it ended up being a little more formal than was required for our niece's university graduation in Texas. It is a sophisticated and flattering cut, but since I sized up to the Size 8 due to availability, it was a little loose - especially in the hips. I kept it in the hopes of wearing it out for dinner, but decided to return it. I may re-order again at a later date.

Stand out dress!
I rented this for our annual New Years card shoot, and the bright red was exactly what I wanted to stand out in the park surrounded by trees. I have a large waist, so it was a little tight in the midsection and could have easily sized up. However, I only needed to wear it for a short period of time so it was okay. Unfortunately the long was not available, and as you can see, the regular was too short with heels (but I wanted to wear them since hubby is so tall).

Great photoshoot dress!
I rented this to wear for our annual New Year's card photoshoot, and it worked perfectly. I'm usually somewhere between a 6 and 8, and wore the size 8 since the 6 was not available. I have a broad back and waist, and it fit really nicely on top with some extra breathing room. I have trouble with the hips being too big in most dresses when I size up, but since this is a fit and flare, it was not a concern. Not usually my style, but was fun to wear for an hour while we got our shot.

Fun blouse!
This blouse is exactly as described, and is made from a beautiful, wrinkle-resistant silk. It fit TTS, and I received a number of compliments each time I wore it. It is ever so slightly see-through, but I countered by wearing either a nude or light pink fitted cami underneath, which was perfect. I paired this with blue jeans as well as black and it looked great with both. I will definitely rent this one again as part of my Unlimited subscription, and am even considering purchasing.

Cute evening coverup
As mentioned previously, this is a very generous cut, so size down for a more flattering fit. I rented this as part of my Unlimited subscription, and I've really been enjoying wearing pieces that I would not otherwise purchase, yet are fun to wear on occasion. I will definitely rent this again, but will order the size 4 next time.

Unique dress and beautiful, soft fabric.
I wore this dress twice. Once for dinner out, and the second for my birthday celebration, and received many compliments each time. I initially ordered the *10R (6US), but it was too tight for my wider waist and broad back (I am pretty much a ruler, with slender hips), and so I replaced with the 12R (8US) which fit beautifully. I loved how the bottom flowed out as I walked, and it was super comfortable throughout the evening, allowing freedom of movement in every way. Definitely recommend if you want something feminine, yet a little different. (*NOTE: I was 139lbs at the time of reviewing this dress, but have since lost weight.)
