This jacket is EVERYTHING
The color, the collar, the length...this jacket is my holiday season dream come true. So rich and beautiful. I had such sadness when I had to return it.

Large fit and lack of good construction
Unfortunately I did not love these pants. The elastic in the waist is not strong enough to hold the pants up, and the elastic back fabric with the stiff front fabric makes for a challenging fit. I did wear them to a family Christmas luncheon but had to pull them up constantly and I did not feel comfortable in them.

That slit though...
This dress is why I love RTR! I would NEVER buy this dress or even try something like this on in a store. How I got the courage to rent it, I don't even know. I loved that I was able to wear a dress so outside my comfort zone to a formal charity event. My only challenge was in finding suitable shape wear with such a high slit and a fabric with no stiffness.

50s glam!
I worse this dress for a 1950s party. I am typically a C cup but I could not fill out the top of this dress enough so I chose to cover the bust with a shawl. The construction of the dress is beautiful, but I agree with other renters that the sequins really irritate your under arms. I was red for a few days after wearing this on the under side of my upper arms from rubbing on the sequins all night. The color is silver (not copper as the description says).

Brining the 80s back
I rented these pants to wear to a Studio 54 birthday party. I paired them with a blouse that I also rented. They are incredibly high waisted, almost and empire waist and there is no stretch. If you are an hourglass shape, you might want to size up for your hips. I am 5'8" and could have worn flats without them dragging but chose heels for fun. I probably won't rent these pants again, but they worked for the event.

Studio 54 Party Hit
This blouse is true to size and so fun! On most RTR items I get a 12 but I wore a 10 in this because it is over sized. It is very short (I'm 5'8" and it landed above my belly button) so plan on high waisted pants or to wear it as a crop top. The fabric is quite hot as well.

Classy Statement Making Skirt
I rented this skirt for my company Christmas party. The attire was "Business Casual" but most women used the occasion as an excuse to dress in festive outfits that are only appropriate from December 1-25. The skirt runs VERY small and needs to be worn on your true waist (smallest part of your torso) to fit appropriately. I am a standard 10 and the L had about 1.5" before it could close. I ended up wearing the XL. I don't think you could be any larger than me and rent this skirt (179lbs at time of wearing. 41.5" at hips at time of wearing). This is a serious skirt, tea length and a lot of heavy material. I think a tall woman with heels would wear this best as it might over-power a more petite frame. For a top option, I think you need to tuck a shirt in to balance the volume of the skirt and avoid making you look too wide.

"Purple Haze" Themed Party Dress
I wore this dress to a charity event with my husband. The theme was 'Purple Haze' and this was perfect for the high end flower-child look I was going for. I typically wear a large or a size 10 and this dress fit perfectly. I have very broad shoulders and very wide hips (42") and I had plenty of room in this dress. I am 5'8" and I chose to wear ankle boots with the dress. If I had worn flats it would have perfectly grazed across the floor. This was a VERY hard dress to return, I would love to have it in my closet all the time!

Easy renting process! Dress not for everybody.
This was my first RTR and I am officially hooked! I bought the pro package with this rental and already have four future events planned where I am going to rent something! The rental process was SO easy, and smooth. The dress arrived to my house on the day it was expected at 7pm. I ordered my usual size a 10 and an extra size 12. Both dresses were in plastic and a suit bag. The only confusion I have is how I tell RTR that I wore one size and just tried in the other...maybe they dry clean both sizes regardless. Now, the dress. I have to say that this dress was not my style, but I knew that before renting it. It fit the wedding theme, but otherwise, I never would have worn it. I am 5'8" and 184lbs, with a pretty significant hourglass shape. The 10 was jut too tight in my rib cage and the 12 fit well. You cannot wear a bra so double sided tape is a must. There is also NO stretch in the dress so my arms were at my side all night as it was tight in my shoulders. My arms must be long because the sleeves were a bit short. I would not rent this dress again, but I will be using RTR all the time now!
