Easy to dress up or down
Wore these from 28-32 weeks; not sure I could have gone past 34-35 weeks in these, but definitely a great option for second and early third tri! Loved that the pant leg had a toggle at the bottom - I wore them bunched (as pictured) and loose for a different vibe. The outfit above is giving Kim Possible (in a good way) and I loved it.

Throw on and go!
I sized up because I am 7 months pregnant and it ended up being too oversized. I loved that you can see the quality of this sweater when looking at it. It is heavy, so better for true winter cold! I ended up purchasing in a size down (A( because I love how easy it is to throw on and go, but still feel put together. It'll fit me through pregnancy and be the right kind of oversized postpartum.

Lots of potential, a little hard to style
I sized up, hoping this could be worn with leggings at 7 months pregnant... and it was still a little too short. I see what other reviewers mean about the arm holes being long, but I personally didn't find it to be a problem. I think if you can find the right fit, this has a lot of potential to dress up and down!

oversized and comfy
This was definitely oversized - it fit generously at 7 months pregnant, which I appreciated at this moment :) the coloring is really pretty.... I got lots of compliments and questions about where it was from, but I wouldn't say it was anything super special.

Oversized Sweater
OOF
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Best for slender gals
Rented this for a “last boogie” themed bachelorette - and it totally fit the theme!!! I felt like this was made for someone with a more square shape. It is short (and I am short), so tall girlies beware. It was also very tight in the bust. I had to lift the girls up to avoid major side boob. When I sat down, the waist would pucker in making it look like my belly was sticking out. TL;DR: Fun for a retro theme, but if I didn’t have to wear it, I wouldn’t have.

when a basic white button down won’t do…
I’ll start off by saying that these sleeves are huge - if you’re looking for your basic white button down, this isn’t it. BUT, if you’re looking to feel like your part Victorian Era queen / part professional, this is going to be your jam! I actually loved it.

Not for me
Somehow this was both too big and too small? The ruching in the middle has potential to be flattering, but ended up being loose/baggy and making me look very bloated instead. The sleeves felt tight, but the rest was perfect. And the fabric was thinner than I thought it would be…. Which made me feel like it wouldn’t have been flattering either way. Could definitely be *chef’s kiss* on some bodies, but just wasn’t it for me.

INCREDIBLE
I loved this so much. The wide waistband hit me right in the right spot, so I felt like it was flattering for me. The sleeves have a button detail that makes them lay really nicely - such an unexpected touch. And the green was a richer green than I expected. All around, magic.

Little House on the Prairie Chic
This was a good way for me to dip my toes into the “cottagecore” vibe. The top is definitely more fitted - but I didn’t have any issues with the buttons pulling. The skirt kind of overwhelmed my petite frame, but it had pockets - pros + cons. I wouldn’t buy this, but it was fun to wear twice!

Ugh, I loved these so much - but the waist was abnormally snug. I think I’m pretty proportional, so this struck me as odd since everywhere else fit perfectly. Le sigh!!

This was too big all around - bummer because the material was a good weight. Plan to size down, or go for that oversized look!

Bell sleeves + perfect weight!
Loved this sweater! It was a perfect weight + much softer than I thought it would be. The bell sleeves make you feel a little fancy, but these sleeves aren't so wide that they get in the way. Thought about keeping it! Maybe next time :)

90's inspired + so cool
I loved this so much - it's definitely got a hip, 90's vibe + I got so many compliments wearing it. Elevated my cool factor, for sure. It was much warmer + heavier than I thought it would be, but it ended up being perfect for a cold + sunny day.

Corduroy + Cheetah = magic
These were such a vibe - the cords + cheetah pattern + slight crop were perfect. My only complaint - Levi's tend to be tricky with sizing and these were no exception. I'm a true 27 in 8/10 of my jean purchases/rentals - but these were just a bit snug through the waist and butt. If these were just a *little bit* more comfy, they woulda been staying with me!

I loved the pattern and quality of this dress - but I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel like I was wearing a fancy bathrobe. The wrap is super flattering though! Would definitely rent this again.

Structured, but casual
I liked that this was structured without being too formal/dressy. It was very flattering with the fitted top, but a-line skirt. The fabric was much thicker than I thought, so this is best for a cooler day. The dress was missing the bow in the picture when it arrived, but honestly - I liked it better than way. Easy to make casual or dressier.

Perfect in so many ways!!
I loved everything about this - it comes with a slip dress for underneath. The fabric is breathable without being too thin. The length was perfect for me - but may be short for taller people. Easy to dress up or down. It was a heartbreak to return it!

Fun pattern, not great if you have any curves
I wanted to love these pants, but they're lower rise and the pockets and fit in the butt was very unflattering. Probably not good for a curvier figure.

Bell sleeves + modern print
Ordered this for day to day wear - and loved it. The cut is perfect and I live for bell sleeves. The modern take on the cheetah-ish pattern is very cool. The material is silky and not super breathable, so this may not be great for warmer weather.

Pretty, feminine dress - but runs large in some places
This was a perfect vacation dress - light, airy, but flirty and fun too. It is low-cut and ended up being larger than I liked in the rib cage. It wasn't flattering from a side angle. I did like this - but wasn't a "wow" for me.

Just couldn't make it work :(
I couldn't wait for the weather to start to cool to wear this - and when it came, I was so disappointed. The waist fit fine, but everything else was laughably large in comparison - length on me at 5'3" was at my ankles, the sleeves were so large that my shoulders looked 3 times the size. Such a disappointment because this is a gorgeous dress.

Beautiful transition piece
This is a perfect weight for that awkward transition between summer and fall -- it's a beautiful pattern with a silky material that didn't make me feel too warm. It is a shorter length - good for shorter or average torsos, but I'm not sure someone with a long torso would be able to wear this without high waisted pants. I wish I could have kept this!!

Cute jeans, awkward fit
Cute jeans, good weight + quality. The waist was a lower waist than I'm used to these days. It caused a gap and I spent the day pulling them up. They did give a bit, but weren't super breathable or stretchy.

Meh - a basic black dress
I liked this, but it was pretty much a basic black dress. The fabric is more of a chiffon. There is a cute tie that makes the waist flattering. I wouldn't have bought this, but that's what RTR is about.

A fun elevated day-to-day blouse!
This was one of my favorites - it's essentially a button down with a gorgeous lace overlay. The lace does make it a little itchy.... I wore a tank under it to help. The sleeves do seem to run a little small. While it wasn't an issue for me, I can see where it could be for some. Overall, a win - I ended up keeping it to wear a few times.

I loved the pattern + fabric weight of this, but it was huge. I'm usually a 4/6 and was swimming in the 4 - will try sizing down to 2 or even a 0 and see how it goes!

Feminine + flirty
I loved this dress! The wrap top makes it easy to get a great fit in the top. Plus, it's super flattering. If I was any bustier, I may not have felt a little too exposed up top though - so busty girls beware. The skirt portion gaped a little bit at my waist, but it was still super cute. I wore this with sandals for daytime errands + with wedges for a date night. Will definitely rent again and may consider buying in the future.

Beautiful dress + cut, awkward fit on me
If I was less curvy, this dress would have been a huge win - but I almost didn't wear it. I loved the way this dress was cut and how it was meant to lay. The fabric is just the right weight that it doesn't show too much - but not so heavy that it can't be comfy on a hot day. I loved the fit from the front, but it was a little tight on the backside, which caused a weird gape on the side..... girls with a booty, beware!

Beautiful pattern, just didn't fit.
I loved this pattern and the length - but it just didn't fit right through the hips and waist. Because of that, it was unflattering and I ended up wearing my other option. I would love to give this one a second chance in a size down for the next formal event I attend because it really was beautiful!

Flattering fit, dress it up or down!
This fit me perfectly! I actually didn't plan to wear this to a wedding, but the fabric was a nicer fabric than expected. This was easy to dress up with heels and jewelry, but I also wore it with white sneakers for day-to-day! The adjustable straps were helpful to get the right fit for the top. Overall, a great surprise and beautiful dress!

Casual + Comfy
I liked these pants - the fabric was a little heavier than I expected, but had a really cute subtle flower pattern. This had buttons instead of a zipper at the waist - but it was very stretchy and elastic, so it wasn't too tight or uncomfortable. I liked the ruffle at the waist because it seemed to elevate what would have been a pretty basic pant otherwise. I didn't love these - but would wear again!

Pretty pattern, but lots of side boob.
I wanted to love this - and even though I read the reviews, I still wasn't prepared for how much side boob this one shows. The straps secure enough to keep things situated, but it was a little too risqué to wear to the dinner I planned to wear it to - but ended up being a great date night outfit. I wouldn't wear this again, but it was fun for the night - which is what RTR is about! :)

Elevated, Feminine Basic
I loved this so much - I wanted to keep it. The structure of the shirt makes it feel like an elevated basic. It was easy to wear - I wore it with jeans, tucked it into a skirt for a more dressy look, wore with shorts and sandals for a daytime look, etc. The lace isn't itchy or too tight, but I could see where the arms and chest might be tight for someone with a larger bust or muscular arms. Overall, loved. Will definitely rent again - and may end up keeping it! :)

So fun & flirty, with a hint of edge.
I loved this so much more than I thought I would. I wore it for my SIL's engagement party and got so many compliments. The fabric wasn't too heavy to wear in summer - the back panel is stretchy, so I think this could work for a variety of chest sizes. I did think it ran a little bit - I probably would have worn the size down if I ordered it. Overall, such a fun, standout jumpsuit.

A little short, but great for a night out
I rented this for a date night in Vegas. The lining underneath is very short to accommodate the slit. It was slimmer through the hips than I typically like, but wasn't uncomfortable. I had a hard time figuring out what to pair it with - and defaulted to what the model in the picture wore! It worked out, but this may be tricky to get creative with!

I really didn't think I was going to like this dress when I first put it on. The fit is loser through the midsection, so if you are super petite, you might drown in this a bit. It ended up being my favorite item in my recent order - perfect to just throw on and go! I received many compliments in this!

Fringe!!!!
I was so excited to get this purse - and it was a beaut. The leather feels soft but sturdy. The fringe doesn't feel like it would fall apart, even with regular wear. However, it is small..... much smaller than expected. I wasn't able to fit more than my phone, a few cards, and a lip gloss in it - keys were a struggle. So, overall, good for a night out or an event where you need minimal things, but not good for day-to-day wear.

True love!!!!!!
This was the first RTR order I seriously considered keeping. This dress was perfect for me. The fabric was a little more silky than I expected, but was still breathable. The waist is a little fitted with very little stretch - which could be problematic for some. I was able to dress this up or down, which I loved. Overall, my favorite RTR piece so far.
