Beautiful, but runs small and is itchy
Rented this for work - loved the colour and the design, BUT - it runs small. I was the first to rent it and took the size recommended by RTR, but wish I had gone up a size - it is really, really tight in the chest - pure wool and itchy. If it wasn’t so tight, I would have used a slip under it.

Size down
Great quality, but the combination of thick fabric, broad shoulders and a boxy design made more suitable as an outdoor jacket than a blazer for the office. I should probably gone down a size

Flexible and fun
This one was a bit different than expected - the background colour is beige (one tone darker than my photo) and the pattern is quite bright. As other reviewers have mentioned, it has a relaxed and comfortable boyfriend fit. I combined it with black jeans and red shoes for a night out and then with formal pants and a silk blouse for a (not so formal) Friday at work. Loved it and would recommend for all ages.

The mother of all shirt dresses
Sophisticated combination of beige, rose and black. Rented it for work but would have used it for social occasions too, if it wasn't for the COVID restrictions.

A winner!
This is an oversized, soft, warm and gorgeous coat! One of my best rentals. It goes with everything, but is probably best for tall women.

Not a conventional wrap dress
This is a wrap dress but with buttons so if you are concerned about too much cleavage in the conventional wrap dress, this one got you covered. Literally. It runs small , I am a size 6 and rented size M which should be size 8-10 and it fitted perfectly.

Being a fan of Ulla Johnson, I was excited about this dress but I have to agree with other reviewers that is feels like costume more than a normal dress. I didn't wear.

Perfect for spring/early summer
This elegant Chanel-like jacket was perfect for work and outdoor evening drinks. It is thick, allowing me to be both warm and chic - a nice but rare combination.

Compliments - even from my kids....
This is the perfect fall-sweater - I used it with a dress and leader pants. Both worked well and though it was for everyday used, I got so many compliments. Also from my teenage kids, and that doesn't happen often. Note that the color is more brown/beige and less ochre than the picture.

Beautiful - runs large
This blouse is exactly what I expected: simple, elegant and super quality. I used it for office+Christmas party. It runs large, though. I'm a middle-of-the-road medium and size 6 hang on my shoulders (more than it should) and I had to push the sleeves up all day. Will rent again but take a size 4 next time.

Beautiful and versatile
Was a but concerned about the pug sleeves but they turned out to be just right. For me this blouse worked perfectly for a not for formal day in the office, but it can be jazzed up or down for very different occasions

HUGE
Didn't upload a picture of this dress because it looks exactly like the picture- and it will on any body type. It is huge and tent-like - and I loved it. It will be my go-to dress this summer.

Perfectly sized, cuter than expected
This handbag was big enough for an iPad and other necessities, but not too big for everyday convenience. The yellow inside pocket was a nice detail that added to the summer-feel and cuteness of the bag. Will rent again.

Rock chic
I rented this for work - but it turned out to have a rock-and-roll feel to it, so I used it for a night out. It gives a wonderful rock chic feel - also to women that are 50+

Very short
These pants are pretty and the quality is super, but for tall women, they are very short - I'm 5'9" and they hit me mid-calf. I looked like a clown and had to send them back.

Pretty but very revealing
This blouse is just as photo - pretty colour and really nice fabric - but I ended up not using it because it was too open, and it didn't have a top that worked well with it.

A no frills handbag that does the job. Perfect for an average sized bicycle basket.

Run small on top
This one has a gorgeous embroidery, but the design is odd. I rented a size 6 - I'm between 4 and 6 on my upper body and close to flat chested but the dress was still way too tight on the top. I couldn't zip it, my rib cage was in the way, and I had to send it back. The bottom half (where I'm between size 6 and 8) suited me perfectly though. The dress is beautiful but if you are blessed with a normal or full bust, it might not be for you.

Beautiful and versatile but runs large
I rented a size 6 (European 38), my normal size, but it was huge and I had to send it back. I now have a size 4 and it fits perfectly. The dropped waist doesn't really do me any favours so I added a belt. This dress is super versatile and I plan to rent again later and use it with a blazer, black tights and boots. Note that it is silk - not polyester.

Beautiful and different
This dress worked perfectly for me! I chose my normal European size, 38 (American 6) rather than the Italian size and it fitted like a glove.

Gorgeous romantic dress
The dress is super flattering and the quality is beautiful. Note that the upper part is tight - that worked well for me, but I wouldn't recommend it to busty figures. I rented it for work and I did use it for that, but it was a bit on the romantic side. It used it for an outdoor concert as well - much better match.

Piece of art
A stunning dress, but it runs large. I'm size 6 and I ordered 42, but should have gone for 40 or smaller. So I didn't get to wear it.

I used it with a pencil skirt and did not tie it front, which made it formal enough to go work without a jacket.

The photo doesn't do justice to this wonderful dress. It is made of a super quality thin wool that doesn't crinkle not matter how you treat it. Perfect for transition. Dress it up with silk scarf and high heels or down with sneakers.

Fine for work
European sizes are confusing, so it is understandable that RTR got this one wrong: it is EU size, but RTR used French sizes when converting it to US sizes. I rented a size 4 and got a European size 38 (normally a US size 8). So check the European size before you order.

Figure hugging
Rented this for work but did not use it because it was too tight. The size was right but it was still too revealing. It could be argued that at my age, revealing dresses are always unpleasant but I wouldn't have used it even if I were younger.
