Felt like a superhero
In a good way! You must rent this with the matching pants for the full powerful effect. Got so many compliments, including "beautiful, orange goddess."

Love the look but not the feel
LOVED these pants, the style and color. I almost bought them. Very eyecatching and comfortable. But I just didn't like the feel of the material. It felt too synthetic and wouldn't want to wear it on a hot day.

Fun and eyecatching but wish it were longer
Wore this for a daytime cocktail event and got so many compliments. But it's a bit too short for me so I wore a buttoned jacket over it.

Warm and comfortable but not super flattering
Even though it didn't flatter my shape, I wore it a lot on my trip to New Zealand as it was a light, warm layer. Comfortable and not itchy.

Garners compliments even when so simple
It was comfortable enough to wear on a 14-hour flight. And when I disembarked and was walking through the terminal, a woman caught up to me to tell me how cute they were. I figured they were just nice, red, comfortable pants.

Surprisingly a hit
I just threw this on to run to the store and to visit my parents and was surprised by how many compliments I got. Even my dad, who never notices or compliments me on what I'm wearing! Really comfortable and fit well. Almost snug around my waist but in a "new jeans" kind of way.

Soft but unforgiving
Loved this with the matching shirt. Got compliments from people thinking the outfit was a dress. Really comfortable to wear. I knew that there was a risk my bulges would show through because of how thin it was but it felt too thin to wear Spanx underneath.

Thin and not forgiving
Really loved the colors and how soft and comfortable it was, and I got many compliments when I wore it with the matching skirt. But just FYI don't get your picture taken when you're sitting down as your bulges will peek through.

Cute and simple
Love how you can adjust the handle to be long enough to fit over your shoulder or short just as a handbag. Clean, simple bag that was small and tidy. Could fit a small compact, lipgloss, lipstick, a phone, and there were a couple of slots for a credit card and ID so I didn't have to bring a whole wallet.

Kept pulling my hair
Ok, for a night out. It could hold my phone, a couple of lipsticks and a small compact. There is a couple of credit card slots inside so I didn't have to to bring my wallet. The only annoying part is that those little silver studs on the strap would pull out my hair every now and then when I wore the bag on my shoulder. Otherwise, as a shoulder bag, it tucked securely under my arm,.

Didn't wear Spanx!
This dress was so comfortable and the perfect length. Loved the color as well. And the little ruching did a great job of disguising my tummy.

Scratchy
I loved the way this shirt looked. Wore it for a night out in Vegas. But the sequins kept rubbing against the inner side of my arms, uncomfortably so. I thought for sure I'd have scrapes at the end of the night.

Elegant and casual
The top looks casual with its short sleeves and neckline but the draping and sparkly side horseshoe piercing make it dressy, making it the perfect dress for date night in LA. I just wish it were a little shorter. On me it's a bit too long, almost touching the ground unless I wear high heels.

Size down
Even though the reversible nature of this jacket made it ideal for travel and I got tons of compliments wearing it, I wish I sized down. It was way too boxy.

First, I love how it's basically two sweaters in one as I had to pack one fewer top. It's warm enough for chilly Oregon days wine tasting.

Compliments bait
What I love about RTR is experimenting with new styles and figuring out what works for my body type. And this was a very flattering fit. Even though it was clingy, the ruching helped disguise some of the lumps. My partner complimented me that I really know how to choose my RTR outfits. Wore this to a cocktail party with my Docs and love that it was dressy enough for the party but not too fancy for this party in someone's home.

Cute cocktail bag
Love the look of this bag. It complements any outfit. And despite its size it can carry two phones, my credit card case, two lipsticks and more. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was that its flat handle wasn't super comfortable to hold.

High-riding front
This was cute and comfortable enough to wear on warmer days. The only thing is the hem on the front rides a little higher than the rest and I have a fairly flat chest. I can’t imagine the fit on someone with a larger bra size.

My go-to party dress
I usually like to switch out party dresses that I rent from RTR but I found that I kept reaching for this one as my cocktail party dress and my fancy dinner dress. Love the ruching and material that helped smooth out any bumps. The length was just right whether I wore my platform Docs or flats. The compliments were nonstop.

A cheery sweater
You can’t have a bad day while wearing this sweater. People will smile when they see you and compliment you. The colors and the style are so unique and fun. The only thing to beware of is that it’s a bit cropped. But it’s so cozy.

These fit perfectly: lengthwise and around the waist and hips. The cuffs sit on my ankles. These pants look so polished and at the same time so vibrant, which makes them fun work attire.

Felt well put together
This dress fit so well, almost like it was tailored for me. I wore it when I wanted to dress up a bit visiting my mom in her care home for the holidays and then to a cocktail party. The material felt thick, like it was of good quality.

Made me a fake fur fan
I didn't know how much I'd love wearing fake fur. It made every moment I wore it fun. I even wore it while sitting in a car for a 1,000-mile road trip, which made it cozy and made me feel glamorous. The only thing is that it's a bit large. Would have liked to size down.

Wish it had lining
It doesn’t have lining so you’re at risk of pantylines. At least that’s what I experienced. But maybe if I got one size bigger that would solve that problem? In any case, I wasn’t crazy about the material. Too thick and rough to be comfortable to wear during warm weather.

I need a bigger bust to fit in this dress
The dress itself is so cute. Loved the colors and style but the only part that didn’t work was the bust area. This would be perfect on someone bigger up top. As it was it just sagged so I didn’t get to wear it to the event I rented it for.

Fun alternative to a t-shirt
For those whose go-to top is a t-shirt, this is a fun alternative. It’s light enough to wear during sweltering days and walks the line of pretty to look put-together but casual.

Too long
I loved the fit and feel of these jeans. Too bad they were about 2 inches too long. Even when I tried them on with my platform Docs, they were still in danger of hitting the floor. But these fit and felt so nice I considered buying them and getting them tailored.

At least for my size, this dress was not flattering. The sides of the black top curve down, making my bottom part look wider.

Did not wear
First, there is no lining so it’s a bit transparent and second, it was way too long for me. So that’s a no and no.

Next time will size up
I read a review from someone who was about my height and weight and she said the medium worked perfectly for her but on me, the band under my boobs was tight. It has no stretch or give. I could zip it up but then it makes breathing and moving uncomfortable. I do love the colors, which are perfect for summer. But since the dress is so low cut, I wore a tank top underneath.

Super comfortable
When I first put these on, it felt tight around my not-small belly. And I didn’t like the way it stretched across my belly. But the rest of the pants felt comfortable, from my waist to my knees. It’s soft with some stretch. I just made sure to wear a longer shirt.

Stands out in a sea of black dresses
Loved this color. Wore this to an awards ceremony and it absolutely stood out with all the black dresses. It fit just right and hid my belly pretty well but I still wore Spanx for good measure. Got a ton of compliments, which made me feel confident working the room. I wore them with Doc Martens platform as I can’t wear heels and it hid them perfectly but didn’t touch the ground.

Perfect for LA Chic Party
First, I don’t know what “LA chic” dress code is but guessed it was something comfortable but sorta dressy and this fit that. I wore 2-inch high heels under it and it nearly touched the ground. Super comfortable and breathable but I still felt dressy.
