Got compliments all day long from men, women, young and old! REALLY wanted to own the dress but cost is 2 months of RTR! Fits exactly true to size and the style compliments pretty much any body shape! LOVED!

Lived in this for weeks! So cozy
So soft, so warm, so cozy. Wore this almost daily for 2 weeks straight. Wore it to the grocery store, to walk my dogs, to work from a coffee shop, to brunch, shopping, just hanging at home. Literally lived in this. Will likely rent again/buy it if the price drops a bit more. The only small detail to note is that the buttons are snap on. They are quite sturdy once you get them on, but it took me a couple of days to get the hang of it - you really need to punch hard to snap the buttons. But otherwise beyond perfect winter sweater!

Not for long torsos
This would be perfect if the straps were adjustable. It’s adorable and could be comfortable if it weren’t for the extreme wedgie feeling. If you’re on the shorter side, you’ll love this. Those with long torsos or taller people, don’t waste a spot on this rental.

Wore these so much for 3 weeks, I forgot they were rented! The color is a bit more orange than pink to me, but I felt like they coordinated with everything! Flattering shape, well made. Sad to send them back but on to the next fab pair of sunnies!

Compliments galore!
People could not stop complimenting this dress all day long!! The fit is fabulous - felt like marvelous Mrs Maisel walking around Manhattan all day! Wore this to work in NY and packed it to wear to a tea party themed brunch in Florida. Such a flattering shape, pattern is adorable, and the pockets are deep (yes, it has pockets! Loved this dress so much!

Favorite rental in 5 years!!
WOW! What a fantastic dress! I wore this to host a large meeting at work and got dozens(!!!) of compliments from men, women, strangers… everyone! It has pockets galore (huge crowd pleaser among women!), has a bit of a slit so it’s a sexy without being revealing given the length. Color is a gorgeous cognac brown. Waist it fitted and the belt adds even more of a pinch. The only thing to keep in mind is that it is a fabric meant for cooler weather - I would only wear this on a day that’s below 40F or you’ll feel damp/sweaty. Overall, this dress was a showstopper for a chilly winter day in NYC! 10/10

Frustrating sizing!
I’ve given Victoria Beckham a shot several times and I’m just constantly disappointed. Everything I’ve rented is just way too small, even when I size way up. I can’t imagine sizing up anymore without the fit being awkward in other areas. I’m not sure what body type she designs for but if you have any hint of a curve anywhere on your body, this won’t work for you. Such cute clothes, but really unwearable unless you’re a stick figure!

Classic with a twist
Loved this dress! Fit true to size. I could have worn it with a belt like some other did but wanted to keep accessories simple. Paired this with some booties for a late summer/early fall vibe. The dress is slightly sheer from just above the knee down, but still appropriate for the office.

Grandma beach cottage chic - LOVE!
Is that what we're calling the trend now? Grandma beach chic? Anyway, loved this light sweater and seriously considered buying it. I may rent it again and end up keeping it. I wore it with shorts, baggy linen pants, jeans - it seemed to look great with everything. It runs a bit large but I think it's supposed to have a baggier fit. It has a casual but elegant look.

Great summer (or spring or fall!) dress
Honestly the colors and print could work for spring, summer, or fall. This dress could be worn with sneakers, sandals or boots and it would be adorable any way. I wore it to work during a hot July day in Florida. Fabric is light but not see thru. Wrap style is very flattering! The puff sleeves were trendy and fun but not obnoxious. Loved it!

Wore for a nice long day of WFH zoom meetings. Lovely colors, light and comfortable fabric. I could easily throw on some pants or jeans and wear the blouse out for dinner and drinks. It's versatile and perfect for warmer weather.

Loved so much I bought them!
I've been a loyal RTR member for 4 years and have only ever purchased 2 of my rentals. This was one of them. I'm in my mid 30s and these shorts are high rise (belly comfort) and mid thigh (cellulite and butt cheek cover). I can't say enough good things about them. I have wider hips/booty + a small waist - the shorts fit perfectly, as if they were made for my exact dimensions. I received them with the tags (yay!) and couldn't bring myself to send them back. They're mine forever now!

Adorable fall zoom top
So cute! Got tons of compliments on the short puff sleeves as an unexpected way to wear a turtleneck. Loved this. There's a tag on the inside side that's a bit itchy and the fabric isn't the softest - I wore a tank top underneath and it was ok for the day.

Too tight around hips!
I rented this for the pattern and style. Unfortunately I couldn't even button it up around my hips. Completely unwearable. There's zero stretch in the fabric and it's clearly made for people with no curves below the waist. If you rent this, size way up (like 2 sizes up!) and be prepared for extra fabric around the chest (if you're small up there). Otherwise, there are plenty of blue and white stripped outfits in RTR with a better fit.

Not made for boobs of any size!
I'm a 34b. This dress sliced my boobs in half. The first button barely holds together if I stand still. It's a shame because otherwise the dress is fantastic - fit from the waist down, pattern, color, fabric - it's all amazing. Just didn't look right around the chest, even with pasties/no bra :(

LOVE the cutouts along the collarbone area. The fit was perfect - baggy enough to hide my thanksgiving feast belly/bloat, but still flattering. Only complaint is that the fabric is itchy!

Gorgeous dress!
Ended up not wearing it because it was too long (I usually wear regular length and this was a 2L, long). Other than that, the dress is gorgeous!!! Beautiful detail, fabulous shape and fit. The fabric has just enough weight and structure to hug your body in the right places. The detail on the back calls for an updo hairstyle to show it off. Would absolutely rent this again in a 2R (my usual size!!

Glamorous movement and pockets!!
This dress is amazing!!!! I rented it at the last minute from the rent the runway flagship store in NYC on my way to a wedding. It was the one of two dresses left in my size and fit like a glove the second I zipped it up. I felt like Cinderella :) Everyone at the wedding complimented the dress and I was thrilled to show off that it had convenient pockets for my phone and lipstick. The dress has such a glamorous movement when you walk - the back part of the dress picks up some air with every step and makes the dress flow so gracefully. Favorite rental from RTR so far! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Cute and light jacket
Fabric is super light/thin. Perfect for summer. There's hardly any stretch to the fabric so the fit around the arms could be tight on some body types (e.g., CrossFit /athletic biceps! LOL)

Loved these pants! All the girls in my office complimented me on the pants. Definitely wear them with a fitted top to balance the flowy/skirt later on the pants.

LOVEEEE
I LOVED this necklace! It goes with literally everything. I wore it almost every day for 2 weeks and was tempted to buy it. It's a heavy necklace but with structure. The jewels on it are quite subtle so it's not a loud turquoise color, and therefore matches with pretty much any outfit. I may end up renting/buying it later.

Flowy and fun
Sumer light and flowy dress. I wore this to work and felt super comfortable all day. Con: because it's super light, and slight breeze could lift the entire skirt up so watch out near subways, buses, on breezy days!

Comfortable and professional!
I loved these pants! Super comfortable, easy to slip on, cute zipper pockets (although I didn't use them). My only caution is that the fabric has linen so after sitting at work all day, the butt area was a little baggy. I'd still wear them again and again for the overall professional look + comfort! Great warm weather work pant!
