Fall down and are just sweatpants material
Chose these thinking it would be nice to have a pair of pants that aren’t leggings as I’m going into my last month of pregnancy. First, I’m very short and these are capri length on me (most cropped pants fit me perfect). Second, they don’t stay up. I tried pulling them over my belly and keeping them under. They just fall down. Third, maybe I’m mistaken but I thought these were supposed to be more of a pant/trouser. The material these are made of is straight up sweatpants material. I have a very casual office and wear leggings to work. These would still be too casual. Maybe better for earlier in pregnancy but not for the end!

Weird cut, unforgiving and thick lace
This dress looked like an a line/ fit &flare that would fit at the waist and go out from there. Instead there are actually two very firm horizontal seems that cut your body making it very unflattering unless you are extremely thin and have no curves: one at the waist and the other at the hips. There is absolutely no give in those places making it uncomfortable and unflattering. It was also a very thick lace. Too warm for summer unless you're inside.

Lovely color and very flattering
The cut of this dress is incredibly flattering and the color is lovely. Only complaint is that the dress is quite short. I'm only 5'2" and it was pretty short even on me!

Hot Dress
This dress is so hot. Love the color. Very form fitting and flattering fit. I wanted to buy this dress. I recommend sizing up though. I'm usually a 6 or 8 and the 8 was still a bit snug. There is a lot of stretch in the material but you could see a lot of pulling. I wanted a 10 but couldn't get it.

Nice casual top
I really liked this too. It is a nice color and not too short while still being a crop length. It recently hit the top of my high waisted jeans. There were snaps to keep the top in place. My only complaint was that the snaps weren't strong enough. I reached across myself to grab something and my watch lightly caught on my top. The snap just popped right open with no resistance. Not a horrible thing but why go through the trouble of installing a snap that isn't very secure?

Pretty Dress. Lots of Compliments. Material Thick.
I got so many compliments on this dress. I rented it to wear to a baby shower. I ended up just wearing it to work. The baby shower was outside in August and the second I put the dress on I knew it would not breathe. I'd recommend this for a spring party but because of the material I didn't feel like it was great for summer. The colors and pattern are gorgeous though. It's very flattering but if you're between sizes I would size up as it's not stretchy.

Perfect Casual Linen Dress
This is a great casual dress. Ran true to size. Perfect for lunch at the beach or an afternoon wine tasting. It does wrinkle easily because of the linen material. Don't know if it would pack well in luggage to take on vacation.

Perfect Party Dress
Loved this dress! The colors are fun. It's form fitting. The straps are adjustable. 10/10 I really want to buy this dress. I originally rented the 6 and I didn't like the way it fit because you could see a lot of pulling even though the material is very stretchy. I recommend sizing up to avoid that look. If I had one complaint, it's the lining. It's not attached to the bottom of the dress and I had to adjust/pull it down a few times as it kept riding up/bunching under the dress.

Blah color and unflattering cut
This dress just did nothing for me. It hit a little too long on my petite frame. The waist was too low and the straps too long. Color was really wishy washy.

I didn't really like the color of this bag. It's like oatmeal. Sent it back without wearing. Also the clasp was very difficult to secure and unlatch.

Something off about it
I own a lot of different types about lace dresses. Something I can't quite put my finger on makes this lace dress look really frumpy. Maybe it's the doily lace in the layers or the length (I'm short so it hit a little below the knee). It fit me like a glove though and I would have worn it but the under layers were hanging down in the front and visible while wearing. Not sure if it's a manufacturing defect but it's definitely not cute.

Pretty dress but not right for me
I really wanted to love this dress but decided to return without wearing it. The color is gorgeous and material seemed nice. It was true to size and felt comfortable. However, the straps were too long for me and it hung too low over my large chest. There is no way to wear a bra with this dress. Maybe size down to get a tighter fit in the torso because the straps on this dress are useless!

It's just ok
There was nothing wrong with this bag but nothing special about it either. I felt like it was also not a great size. It was bigger than a wallet purse but not really big enough to hold my items comfortably (phone, keys, wallet, lipstick, etc). It needs to be just a tad bigger to be useful.

Unforgiving and Unflattering
I took these jeans off after just a few hours of wearing them. I wanted a pair of super high rise jeans to wear with a crop top. Even though I sized up they were still really snug and didn't have a lot of give. I got in my car to run a quick errand and when I was sitting I realized how unflattering this cut was on my stomach. Looked pregnant! lol Couldn't wear it after that. Maybe for someone super tall and skinny.

Gorgeous Classic Red Dress
This dress is really lovely and classic looking. The cut out under the bust is sexy without being too revealing. Perfect for date night or an evening cocktail party. I didn't wear a bra with it and felt perfectly supported even with a D cup. I did find it fit too snug on my ribs where the seam is where the top meets the skirt and if I rent again I'll be sizing up. But otherwise a great dress.

Great dress. I wore it for a graduation party. Could be dressed up or down. Length is perfect on a petite frame. My husband wanted me to buy it but it didn't fit exactly right in the chest or else I would've kept it.

All Beauty No Function
I rented this bag really to go with a party outfit but ended up using it throughout the time I had it. For a party, it is a perfect bag in a lovely pink color. For daily activities, I wouldn't recommend. The bag was too small to fit my phone, wallet and keys in comfortably. I also didn't like the length of the strap to wear it crossbody. Finally, the clasp was cumbersome needing two hands to open and then secure again. Not convenient for trying to pay for something. All beauty but no function.

I Recommend Sizing Up
I went with the recommendation of RTR for sizing but I highly recommend sizing up. The chest has a clip for modesty but at a 34D it was still pulling too much to be comfortable. Overall I found the material of this dress very unforgiving so if you have a very straight body type this could work for you but anyone with curves probably needs to size up to accommodate. The pattern was pretty though.

Love the print but not constructed well
I loved the way this dress was supposed to look. It's absolutely gorgeous and if it was constructed better I 100% would've purchased. Because the front tie is secured at the bottom of the chest, there is no way to tie this in a secure way so that it doesn't fly open. I ended up wearing it and I was glad the baby shower was Hawaiian themed to cover my chest. I felt the dress fit me so I don't think it was a sizing issue just poor design. Such a shame because I loved everything else about it!

Gorgeous Print But Sleeves Long
I loved the print on this dress. Thought with all the prominent green it was really unique. The dress fit me perfect everywhere. But, the sleeves are just designed too long with too much fabric. It was very in the way when trying to do basic things like eat/shake hands/use bathroom...etc. I ended up securing the wrist high on my forearms which helped but for me I won't rent again because it's just not functional.

Pretty faux wrap top but size down
This top was very pretty but I am glad I sized down. I'm relatively busty so normally need at least a medium top but I had PLENTY of room in this one. It's a nice flowy top but there's not much structure in the chest to keep it in place. Because of this it's too revealing for work unless you wear a cami or pin it.

Very flattering but small in the waist
These jeans were incredibly flattering cut and perfect length for us who are short, but it was very narrow around the waist causing a bit of a muffin top effect on me. I wore them a few times to see if it would stretch out but there was very little give in these. I hate that jeans sizing is so different in brands because the last pair I rented at this size were a little loose. I will probably rent another from this brand because of the quality but will size up.

Loved these comfortable jeans!
The length was perfect for me at 5'2". Overall just a really flattering and comfortable pair of jeans. Loved the light wash. If I rent again I might go down a size. After a few wears, they got more of a relaxed fit in the butt. My husband really wanted me to buy them and honestly I might in the smaller size!

Cute but not for big chests
I thought this top was really cute but not a great choice for me. I did wear it once but I felt very uncomfortable in it. This top would probably fit best on someone with a very straight body type (not me..lol). I knew it was a crop top but it was a little too short to meet the top of high waisted jeans which is what I was hoping for.

Wow...I really hate this dress.
Nothing about this dress makes sense. I sized up and the dress fit snug but wearable. I couldn't decide if I should show a front or side view photo but went with the side so you can see how much weird fabric is on the back causing the zipper not to lay flat. Most of the dress is lined EXCEPT from the hips down??? There is a hard seam at the waist and then at the hips encasing my stomach in a firm straight panel. Honestly nothing I can find to like about it. Sending it back without wearing.

This bag is so great. I decided not to return it just yet because I love it so much. It works for every day, work, or night out. Love the two strap options. I'm honestly trying to convince myself not to buy it.

Cute top but a little overwhelming on me
I thought this top was beautiful and couldn't wait to wear it when I got it. However, being a little petite I ended up feeling like the shoulder pads and sleeves were a little overwhelming on me. I also prefer a more tailored shirt fit and the body was loose on me but I definitely couldn't have gone smaller in the chest.

90s peak fashion and I love it
I loved this dress so much I bought it. Feels like something I would've worn back in the 90s and I love that. It's flowy while still giving you a great shape. I was really comfortable in this dress and it was the perfect length on my petite frame. It can easily be dressed up or down. Honestly, can't say enough good things about it! Only con: the fabric is slightly prone to wrinkles. I noticed after sitting on a long car ride the back became wrinkled.

Runs small and low cut
The pattern of this dress was very pretty but it was very narrow around my rib cage causing the buttons to pull so I would definitely size up. Obviously I couldn't wear it but not sure if I would have anyway because it was much more low cut than I thought. I was originally thinking I'd wear this dress to a small family get together which this was not appropriate for with the girls on full display or maybe date night with my husband which this would've been fine for.
