Beautiful fabric, but not flattering for my body type.
I am larger on top than on bottom. This dress was not flattering for my body type. Also, the style reminded me of Betty from the Flintstones :-) . Beautiful, but not for me.

Rich colors, but surprisingly slouchy and unstructured.
The fabric is much thinner than expected, which leaves this blazer unstructured and slouchy. But fun to wear. Runs TTS (to slightly small.) Size Large fit perfectly. I usually wear size 8-10.

Arm holes are too large to wear this top without a jacket, but great as a layering piece. Next time I would size down by one size to an 8.

Flattering holiday dress. Runs slightly large.
Dress run slightly large. I'm usually a size 8 to 10 in dresses and will rent this dress again in size 8 (instead of 10) to get rid of the extra fabric bunching at my upper back. Fabric has some stretch in it, making it very flattering and comfortable to wear. The only surprise is the lower than expected cleavage, which might not be appropriate for a conservative office holiday party.

Beautiful, fitted dress. True to size. Sleeves are Victorian style.
This fitted dress is great for a special work event. The dress is blue and the belt, which is permanently attached in the back, is black. You will either love or hate the sleeves. They look a bit like old Victorian sleeves, especially when you move your ATMs. Dress runs true to size. If you are large chested, you might want to size up. For reference, I am 5"8", 157 lbs, 36C and wearing size 10.

I should have sized up more. Too short.
I'm usually a size 8 to 10 in dresses and would have needed this dress in size 12 or 14 to make it fit well and provide enough coverage at the chest. Also, dress runs short and has no lining.

Unusual, warm jacket. Leather trim started to look worn.
This is a nice, unusual jacket. It is quite warm, so perfect for cold offices in the winter. Has lots of colors, including pink, dark green, olive green, red, blue, and black leather accents. I paired it with a pink/magenta scarf to brighten the jacket up a bit. I am a size 8-10 and wore this jacket in size Medium. It is cut to be bulky and with dropped shoulders. Definitely needs to belt to give it some shape. My only complaint is that the black leather trim is quite worn and the black color washed out (especially noticeable at the lapel).

Beautiful Tory Burch blouse made out of lightweight 100% silk. Fits true to size.
Another Tory Burch winner! Beautiful silk blouse that fits true to size. Can be dressed up (with black or blue dress pants or skirt) or dressed down (with blue jeans). The material of this blouse is 100% lightweight silk. Must be worn with a nude colored bra if you don't want the bra to show through. The fit is true to size. I am usually a 10 in blouses (5'8; 154 lbs, 36C) and this blouse in size 10 fit perfectly. RTR has a green Tory Burch tote bag that would go wonderfully with this blouse.

High-quality dress. Runs true to size, but very wide at hips. Tight at the sleeves.
This dress was more form fitting than expected, but very beautiful and high-quality. It comes in 3 different colors (red, black, and blue). At 5'8", the hem hit below my knees, so petite ladies be aware. In terms of fit, it runs true to size on top, but very wide at the hips (this designer tends to run wide at the hips). I am a size 10 at the chest and size 8 at the waist and hips (5'8", 154 lbs, 36C). This dress in size 10 fit perfectly on top and had lots of extra room at the hips. Because it made my hips look wider than they are, I wouldn't wear this dress to an event where I would be standing a lot, but perfect for a meeting or luncheon where I am seated. The sleeves runs on the tighter side, so it you have wider arms, this might not be the dress for you.

High-quality Tory Burch bag, but doesn't stay closed when you let go of the handles.
I had rented this very Tory Burch bag in color burgundy before (and loved it), so I thought I knew what to expect. Unfortunately, this black version doesn't stay closed when you let go of the handles, which is a bit annoying. The burgundy one had very strong magnets at the top, which held the bag closed and secure. For that reason, I am rating the black version of the bag only 4 stars, while I give the burgundy version 5 stars. Not sure if the powerful magnets are missing in all of these black bags or just my particular one. Also, keep in mind that this style bag has an unusual opening that takes some getting used to. I liked the bag better worn on the handles than on the (removable) shoulder straps. This style bag is available in multiple colors from RTR. But make sure that you check the dimensions in the description, since this bag comes in at least 3 different sizes. This one is the medium size, which fit all my personal stuff, but isn't big enough for letter size papers or iPad. [In the photo, I am wearing it with a Trina Turk dress from RTR .] Finally, the leather of the black bag has a very matt finish to it, which you might or might not like.

Great black dress. Very flattering neckline. Runs true to size, but wide at hips.
I loved wearing this dress for a banker's meeting (needed to look conservative). I might just buy it. The neckline is very flattering, yet conservative. Instead of wearing a necklace (which interfered with the neckline), I added a brooch. Dress runs true to size, but runs wide at the hips. I am usually a size 10 at the chest and size 8 at the waist & hips (5'8"; 154 lbs, 36C). This dress in size 10 fit perfectly on top, slightly wide at the waist, and quite big at the hips. But it didn't take away from how fabulous I felt wearing this dress and the extra room around the hips made it super comfortable for sitting. Also, the material has a small amount of stretch, which further adds to the comfort. This dress is lined at the top, but not at the skirt. I wore it with nude tights and had no problem with the unlined skirt (no slip needed). The material has some texture to it and didn't wrinkle throughout the day. Material is light-to-medium weight, so this dress can be worn year-round.

Nice, basic blazer in tomato red. Lighter than expected. Sleeves short. Runs at least 1 size small!
Nice, basic blazer in tomato red. Fabric is lighter than expected. Fine, but nothing special. Unlike other reviewers who thought this blazer ran true to size, I would say that this blazer definitely runs at least 1 size small. I rent lots of RTR items and I am usually a size 10 in blazers (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C). This blazer in my usual size 10 was overall too small (sleeves too shirt, arms tight, body tight, etc). Next time I would order size 12. Hopefully, the larger size will also solve the issue that the sleeves were too short.

Gorgeous, high-end blazer. Fits true to size. Lots of fringes!!
Gorgeous, high-end blazer. It is fashion-forward version of a conservative blazer. The fringes at the seams (shoulders, armholes) might be too modern for very conservative settings. This blazer fits true to size. I am a size 10 at the chest and size 8 at the waist/hips (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C). This blazer in size IT 46 / US 10 fit perfectly. The sleeves are wide enough that I could also wear a long-sleeve turtleneck underneath. The material is a thick cotton blend with a very thin silk lining. The blazer is slightly fitted at the waist, but not much. I felt that this blazer made me look bigger than I am (due to the double-breasted style and the fringes at the seams, which add bulk), but who cares when the blazer itself is so gorgeous.

Very cute small everyday bag. Great quality. 2 zippered compartments. Can be worn as crossbody
Very cute small everyday bag. Great quality. Not worth $1,050, but a great rental. The main color is blue and the straps are brown. The bag itself consists of 2 zippered compartments (each zipper has a tassel). The space in between the 2 zippered compartments is perfect for storing items for easy access (e.g. your iPhone). Handles are very adaptable. It comes with a (removable) long strap, which can be adjusted from short shoulder length to long crosssbody length (via the snaps). It also comes with a (removable) short strap that sits right above the bag, but I didn't use that strap.

Cute, warm sweater, but runs very small. Large = 6-8. Don't bother if you are above an 8.
Cute, warm sweater, but runs very small. I felt like someone had put this sweater into the washing machine and it shrank all across. I am usually a size 8-10 in tops (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C) and this sweater in size Large was too small for me (sweater length too short, sleeves too short). I would say the Large equates to sizes 6-8. "Honey, I shrunk the sweater."

DISAPPOINTING. Mega hips, worn material, and way oversized. Medium = sizes 12-16.
I was so disappointed with this cardigan for the following reasons: * the way the pockets are sewn into the side seems and attached to the front panels makes the cardigan push out at the hips, creating "mega hips" -- not a good look! * the cotton-blend material looks very worn and inexpensive; since this cardigan costs $695, I expected high-quality material, but instead it looks like material used for a typical GAP sweater; maybe the material looked better when this cardigan was new; * the sizing is completely off; based on other reviews, I sized down and I still swam in this cardigan; for reference, I am usually a size 8-10 in tops (5'8"; 155 lbs, 36C) and rented the size Medium (4-6). It still is too large. I would have needed size Small (2) for the right fit. Note that this cardigan comes in 3 different color combinations. I am going to remove all 3 of them from my wish lists :-(.

Gorgeous, but best for women with short torso and flatter chest. Very scratchy :-(
The color and embroidery of this dress is absolutely gorgeous, but I am bummed that I could not wear this dress for the following reasons: * the material around the neck and armholes (and waist) is super scratchy (and I am usually not one who is bothered by materials that other reviewers describe as scratchy); no way that I could wear this for many hours; * the material going all the way up the neck and the embroidery at the chest makes one look even chestier (not good for someone already well endowed) and the waist of the dress falls about 1 inch above my natural waist --> this dress made me look like a box; I think this dress would be amazing on a flatter-chested woman with a short torso. In terms of sizing, I was surprised to read reviews that thought this dress ran large. If anything, I think it runs small at the hips and thighs. I am a 10 at the chest and 8 at the waist and hips (5'8"; 156 lbs, 36C). This dress in size 10 fit perfectly on top and tight at the hips and thighs (it's the double lining that fits tight, not the actual dress material). It's possible that the lining has shrunk from all the dry cleaning, making the fit tighter than it was when new.

Fun, comfortable knit blazer (unlined). But runs at least 1 size small and sleeves are narrow.
This unlined knit blazer is very comfortable and fun for work. Great with dark jeans. Unfortunately, it runs 1 - 1 1/2 sizes small. I will have to re-order it in a bigger size. The sleeves are narrow, so don't bother if that is one of your trouble areas. I am usually a size 8-10 in tops (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C) and this blazer in size 10 is too tight for me, even without trying to button it. I will reorder in size 12. [The burgundy Tory Burch "Claret Half Moon Satchel" from RTR nicely picks up the burgundy flowers in the blazer].

Comfortable, but not flattering on me. Made me look wide. Runs 1/2 size large on top.
This dress did not flatter my hourglass body shape. The black triangle inserts and the extra fabric on the sides of the skirt made me look much wider (I would have expected the opposite effect from the triangle inserts). I did not wear this dress. In terms of fit, I would say this dress runs 1/2 size large at the top. I am usually a 10 at the chest and 8 at the waist/hips (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C). I rented this dress in size 8 and it fit well at the waist/hips and a bit snug at the chest. The dress is lined at the top and not lined at the skirt. If you are wearing tights, you might need to wear a slip to prevent the unlined skirt from clinging to your legs. The black triangle inserts are made out of stretchy material, which makes the dress comfortable to wear.

Great winter dress. Large = 8-10. Snug in the mid-section (tummy area). Sleeves are too long.
Got so many complements wearing this dress! Great winter dress that feels a bit snug in the mid-section (tummy area). Large = 8-10. The material is a dense cotton knit. The stretch of the knit runs horizontally above the waist, but vertically below the waist. That makes this dress quite snug in the tummy area (since there is little sideways stretch). I was very conscious of holding my tummy in when standing. I wouldn't want to wear this dress on those days when I am feeling bloated. In terms of sizing, I rented the Large. I am usually a 10 at the chest and an 8 at the waist/hips (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C). The Large fit well. Sleeves are too long, so I turned them over. Otherwise, this is a great winter dress. I like the color blocking, but my husband didn't like the color blocking at all ("Did they run out of matching fabric?") :-)

They look like leggings or ski pants. Runs 1 size large.
I didn't wear these pants because they looked liked gym leggings or ski pants, which is further accentuated by the seam across the butt and going down the legs. Great for a ski vacation, but certainly not for work. In terms of fit, I would say they run 1 size large. I am usually a size 8 in pants (5'8", 155 lbs) and these pants in size 6 (IT42) fit well. They have a slim fit, but are straight fit towards the bottom. They might be too long for shorter women.

Disappointing quality for Tory Burch. Shorter than advertised. M = 8-12
I love anything Tory Burch, but this navy dress is a disappointment. The material is a thin, flimsy ribbed knit and the length is shorter than advertised. At 5'8", I would not feel comfortable wearing this dress to work. In terms of sizing, it runs large, but as advertised. The Medium is advertised to fit 8-10. Given how much stretch there is in the knit, I would say the Medium would fit 8-12. For reference, I am 5'8", 155 lbs, 36C and I rented the Medium which fit with extra room to spare.

Fabulous leather jacket (perfect replacement for blazers). Large = 8-12
This leather jacket is perfect as a replacement for blazers (e.g. indoors) as it is light-weight, fitted, and has 3/4" sleeves. Goes with everything. It looks great both with jeans as well as a flowing silk skirt. I was worried that this jacket would be too cropped, but it was the perfect length for me. This jacket runs larger than its sizing indicates. This jacket refers to size Large being the equivalent of 6-8. I would say the size Large is more equivalent to 8-12. I am a size 10 at the chest and size 8 at the waist (5'8", 154 lbs, 36C) and the size Large fit perfectly. I am tempted to buy this jacket since it goes with everything (and is 80% off its original price). I only wish that the 3/4 sleeves were a bit shorter (they are a bit long for 3/4 length, which makes it look like they are full length sleeves that are too short on me).

Fabulous mid-sized slouchy bag. High-end casual look.
This bag is a wonderful handbag for everyday: it is light weight, mid-sized (not big enough for a laptop, but plenty of room for my everyday stuff), the leather is very high-end, and the look is more casual due to the slouchiness/soft structure of this bag. The handles are very comfortable. The bag also comes with a removable shoulder strap, but I didn't like that look. I am tempted to buy this bag, but I am not sure yet if I love the soft structure of this handbag. As you can see in my photo, the leather gets pulled and the logo gets partially covered as soon as you lift this bag on its handles (due to the weight of the bag with its content relative to the softness of this bag).

These fuchsia pockets are the best! I wore this vest twice: once casually for dinner with friends paired with black leggings and a fuchsia "Berry Upbeat Top" by Trina Turk (available through RTR); and once for a business dinner with black dress pants and a black cashmere turtleneck. The pockets are not only fun, but also functional (but do make your hips look wider). I would say this vest runs slightly large.

Great black bag that can be dressed up or down. Beautiful pebble leather. I wore this bag with a black dress for a funeral (RTR "Black Ruffle Sleeve Dress" by Alexia Admor) and the next day casually with jeans. Shoulder strap is adjustable (but not removable) and long enough to carry this bag cross body as well as a shoulder bag. The 2 decorative tassels on the outside are removable. Lots of interior room despite the relatively small size of this bag. Very secure due to zipper on top. Will definitely rent again.

Very flattering dress. Fabric is substantial enough to hide flaws. Both the exterior fabric and the lining has some stretch, making it super comfortable to wear. Tiered ruffle sleeves look cute and are set high enough not to interfere with eating. The necktie is permanently tied and tacked down. Wore this dress to a funeral. Dress runs true to size. I am wearing size Large, which is the equivalent of sizes 8-10. I am usually a size 10 on top and size 8 on bottom (5'8", 153 lbs, 36C). This dress in size Large fit perfectly on top and was a bit loose at the hips, so I would say it fits true to size. Note that this dress is also available in red.

Very conservative. Too matronly for me. Runs large. Medium = 10-14.
Very conservative knit dress in red with blue accents. Runs large. I am a size 10 at the chest and size 8 at the waist & hips (5'8", 155 lbs, 36C) and this dress in size Medium felt a bit large. Medium = 10 -14. This dress looked matronly on me. Would have been better if it was shorter. Also, the top of the dress is made for long torsos. By placing the stretchy waist area of this dress at my waist, I was left with extra material above the waist. If you like this conservative look, give this dress a try, but make sure you order down. The material is a high-end knit with the feel and touch of a high-end wool sweater. Note that this material was very static and clung to my legs. There is no lining. Best worn with a slip!

Okay dress. Dense knit with surprisingly little stretch. Runs a bit small. L = 8-10.
I was surprised how snug this dress fit and how little stretch there was in this dense knit material. I am usually a size M/L and rented this dress in size Large (for reference, I am 5'8", 155 lbs, 36C). Even the size Large fit on the snug side. It is an okay dress, but the placement of the stripes - especially at the chest area -- and the crew neck just didn't do much for me. Nothing wrong with this casual dress, but I didn't like it enough to wear it outside.

Beautiful material, but runs very small and short. Sleeves are a bit long.
OMG! This is not the look I was going for (and I certainly did not wear this in public)! I should have listened to other reviewers who stated that this wrap cardigan runs small and short. But I had tried a similar wrap cardigan at the DVF store in size Medium and it fit perfectly :-(. But not this Medium! Aside from my fit issues, the cardigan is made out of a high-end knit that looks expensive. Given how short this cardigan is, I think it is best worn with a skirt (which tends to sit higher up) rather than pants. Next time, I will order the Large and hope it will look better. For reference, I am 5'8", 155 lbs, 36C.

Beautiful silk skirt. Runs true to size. Best for taller ladies. Zipper doesn't lay flat :-(
This is a flowy silk skirt that moves beautifully when I walk. The main color is black and the accent colors are mustard and purple. I wore it with a black leather jacket (RTR "Wes Moto Jacket" from Rebecca Minkoff), my own amber necklace (to pick up the mustard color in the skirt), and black ankle boots. The second time I wore it with a fitted black cardigan. This skirt runs true to size. I am a size 8 at the waist & hips (5'8"; 155 lbs) and this skirt in size 8 fit perfectly. The only reasons I give this skirt 4 stars (instead of 5) is that the zipper on the left hip doesn't lay flat (despite ironing), which made me look wider at the hip than I am. Also, this skirt was really clinging to my legs (the dry winter air doesn't help).

Gorgeous, comfortable dress. Runs true to size and a bit short. Make sure to step into the gown!
Gorgeous, comfortable gown in bright pink! Runs true to size. Make sure you step into the dress rather than trying to pull it over your head. This neoprene material is super comfortable. I ended up wearing a black dress instead because I had eaten too many cookies over the holidays and wasn't crazy about my stomach showing in this pink dress. But I can't wait to rent again in the future! I am usually a size 10 at chest and size 8 at waist and hips (5'8", 156 lbs, 36C). This dress in size 10 Long (46L) fit perfectly, albeit a bit short with 3" heels.
