Fantastic jumpsuit for the tall ladies!
Easy to wear, fun to style, and very long. With a 34” inseam I wore 3” heels and still needed hem tape. The velour fabric at the heel is crushed, so you can see it’s been long for other people, too. I wore it to a work gala and it was just right.

Formal fun
This blouse has character, and the buttons make it more formal than maybe I realized online. They’re large and pearlescent. Medium fit is on the comfy side of tailored. Seems great for a trendy office or dress-with-intent dinner party.

Such fun vibes. Note it's slightly heavy from the beading, and a bit narrow despite being average purse size.

Got it with the matching pants - compliments!
I rented this with the matching pants. Lots of compliments. I got my typical size (medium) and the fit was good but I felt the hem was too long for a cute look and hemmed it up a bit with hem tape. I had to get large in the pants even though medium probably would have been my default order. The large pants worked, but, like the shirt, really needed hem tape. I'm almost 5' 8", so on the tall side, and this odd made for someone even taller.

I'm pretty much an 8 in pants and think I probably could have worn the medium, but only the large was available. I'm tall and love a long pant. This was next level long! Be ready with hem tape!

Gorgeous fabric, bulky fit
Fun to wear for a weekend day. It badly needed steaming as many items do upon arrival. The fabric is so pretty. The cut (I got a size medium) was on the bulky side. It's a look.

Better with a jacket
This was fine. Tough to find a bra, even crossover in the back, whose straps or sides didn't show. It is not quite as structured as I thought it was, so shows all the areas. Still flattering, but I felt more put together with a white Staud oversized linens jacket on top.

Tall Girls, Get the Long!
This is such a cute jumpsuit, and works for many occasions, but if you’re tall, wait for the Long to come in stock. I was planning to wear flats, so risked the Regular length, and not only were the pants really short, but the torso was too short, and I have a short torso to begin with. I’m a size 6-8 with about a 30 inch waist and 39 inch hips, short torso, and inseam 34”.

Too short
Too short and too big! I’m probably between a medium and large. I thought I could at worst wear them as Pjs, but they slid down too easily. Often I have good luck with this brands having longer pants, but these were not long.

Very warm, a tiny bit bulky
This was a nice option to have to dress up an outfit with a layer. It’s a wee bit itchy, but not bad enough for me not to wear it—and I hate itchy sweaters. It’s very cozy and the fit it (intentionally) a bit bulky. It had a little of that wool smell, IFYKYK.

Unflattering
I’m 5’ 8” between and 6 and 8 in pants and need a long inseam. I’ve gotten pants from this brand that fit great and were so flattering for taller gals. But these were not it! They were baggy in the wrong places and short on me.

I loved wearing this for a fall wedding at a botanical garden with a pink shoe. I am 5’ 8” about 140 and wore the dress with about a 2 1/2” heel. It was very comfortable, elegant, and I could wear a regular (red) bra with it. I think this is a forgiving size 6. Lots of compliments on this look!

Wore it for a dinner date and a surprise party. The sparkle is fantastic in combo with the cut. It's both a comfy loose fit and a tad tailored. Size 3 turned out to be just right for me as a size 6 with long arms.

Swifty alert! 💖
So cute for Taylor Switt Eras Tour! It has a decent amount of stretch and the sleeves are unlined so you get a little airy breeze for your pits. It was not scratchy for me and I’m normally pretty sensitive to that. I'm a 4 or 6 in tops and was happy with the 38. Wore it tied around my shoulders with a tank under for sparkle effect for the warmer parts of the night, and eventually put it on fully.

Top baggy for a short torso girl
This was a beautiful vibrant orange-red and beautiful on the hangar. I thought it was going to be my go-to dress for a garden wedding, but even though I’m on the tall side (5' 8") and busty side (30 E/32DD), it was oversized in the torso. My husband and niece vetoed it based on the fact that the bagginess in the torso was unflattering, especially from the side. It was super long (loved) and also snug from the waist down (plan accordingly!). I ordered the 12R when normally I’m a size 6 or medium to small in dresses. I couldn't have sized down to fix the baggy torso issue because the rest would've been too tight in the hips and rear (I'm approx 29-30" waist and 39 1/2" hips). If you want a long dress and have longer torso, this may be perfect for you! Wish it was better for me!

Loved wearing it
It’s the perfect au courant warm-day-to-cool-night outdoor summer wedding look. Lots of compliments from all ages. I don’t think it photographs as flatteringly as it actually looks in person. I am almost 5’ 8” and it was perfectly to the floor with flats. I go back and forth between a medium and small in Farm Rio depending on the style, but this only fit in the medium. My waist is approx 30” where this dress is at its tightest. The small was tight and short and the opening in the back looked high and strange. The medium was perfect. Wore Bring It Up sticky bra thingies (first ones I’ve tried that work for a bigger chest) to deal with the opening in the back. Be aware it needs pressing on arrival for full effect including the details on the sleeves. Also, this is the kind of synthetic (if floaty) material that can retain bad BO, so check for smell on arrival and don’t leave the house without a good dose of deodorant! Overall, I loved wearing it and may rent again for another similar event.

Interesting fit
I didn't end up wearing this because this was a back up for a summer wedding. It was more fitted around the waist for me (hourglass size 6 or 8) than in the picture. I actually thought the fit there was kind of cool, but the shoulders were actually a bit wide and loose in a way that broadened my shoulders and chest. I think it might look better on someone less curvy on top. I could have worn it, it just wasn't my top choice.

So very soft!
This is incredibly soft and cozy. The shoulders are not very defined, so if you’re looking for a more tailored look, this may not do it. But for upgraded comfort (I.e. jeweled buttons) I highly recommended.

Versatile sweater coat
This works great for me for a cool Southern California fall days over a variety of outfits. I threw it all over pajamas in the morning to warm up. I wore it with jeans and a T-shirt out of the house. I wore it with skirts. It was great. I’m 5’8”, have long arms, and both the length overall and length of sleeves were good on me. I totally reject sweaters that are itchy, and this one was not buttery soft, but not itchy enough that I needed to reject it. I liked the look of the slight stiffness of the what I think is felted wool fabric.

Just as pictured
The fabric is a little bit on the light weight and not so soft side, which adds to a slightly more formal than casual look. I’m usually a size 6 and can go small or medium in tops - the 10 in this was roomy enough for sleeves underneath. The waist was not quite as fitted as I expected and the coat ballooned out slightly (didn’t hang as a-line as I thought). I didn’t mind that fit - thought it was lovely!

Bring on the fun!
Very fun option! Was going to wear to an adult dinner party, but it ended up feeling just a little young for the affair, so I opted to wear with sneakers for my daughter’s birthday party. My kids loved it and parents complimented, too. Some commenters found the waist loose, but I thought it was average to small. For reference I’m a size 28 in jeans. The cut and silky fabric helps elevate the kitsch factor.

Generous cut, fun to wear
This was fun to wear and had a slouchy, oversized fit. I'm size 6. It hung easily straight past my hips. Cozy, but not the softest. A little itchy. Mine also arrived looking old. Another reviewer mentioned they shouldn't be hanging up this sweater - true. One shoulder was pulled very much out of shape. I used the old trick of getting that spot wet and letting the yarn reset its shape as it dries, but it didn't entirely fix it. Anyway, despite those specific drawbacks, I liked wearing this!

Holy moly believe us when we tell you it's huge
I read the reviews that said this runs large, but I didn't believe how large. I'm pretty much a 6 all around, bordering on a 4 on top. I got the medium, and it fit like an extra large. My kids LOVED the rainbow look. It was fun to wear around the house, but I didn't wear it outside. It's a little acrylic/stiff feeling, not as soft and cozy as it might look.

Cute cropped, definitely puffy!
This was a cute cropped, warm jacket. The sleeves were nice and long. I thought I'd wear the darker side out more, it I ended up preferring the blue. It's so puffy that it borders on not as flattering as I hoped, but it was still cute. Worth a try!

Insanely huge
I was up for an oversized, slouchy vest. This was so bizarrely huge I cannot even tell you. Pretty certain the women's "medium" was a men's extra large. It's not just that it's big, but the puffy part running horizontal along my upper back was so inflated that I looked like I had a hunchback, so I could t really get away even with the overly oversized look. Very hard to recommend this vest.

It Has Stretch
I thought it was hard to tell if this was going to be oversized or not based on the variety of reviews. Note it's got a lot of give, so if you size down, you'll have a friend in the fabric. I'm a 6 who can wear 4s. My shoulders are narrow, but I have a bust and hips, so I wasn't sure a 4 would work in this coat. I got a 4 and I think it was a trim flattering look. The 6 would have also been good in probably an on-trend, oversized look that would have allowed for thicker sweaters. Happy with 4.

The reason for RTR
Loved this as a rental! Fun, expensive, fashion forward, and comfortable. Be prepared to iron or steam the puffs at the sleeve as it may pressed wrong. The strong shoulder is fierce. I don't think it photographs as well as it looks in person. I'm pale with pink undertones and wouldn't always go for the shade of the background do this shirt, but it works with the other colors and pattern. Recommend!

Total winner
Elegant fit, pattern, and details. I'd say it's more like a US 4-6, so runs a tiny bit more snug than a straight size 6 as British sizes often seem to do. I can usually work with a 4, but chest and sleeves get tricky. The shirt has just the perfect amount of stretch, so it wasn't an issue. I didn't mind, but note the sleeves were a tad short (I do have longish arms). Easy to roll up the sleeves as well. Loved it and wore it dressed up and down. Great under a sweater or on its own.

Fun, Gets Tangled
Got this to wear with a dress I also rented - didn't end up going to the event, but wore the necklace with some everyday wear. The "charms" are nicely designed and different. The double wrap design means it liked to kind of cinch small around my neck or get tangled whenever I wore it. I feel like other people don't have this issue, but I always do when wearing two necklaces or a wrap necklace. So if you don't find that to be a bother, it'll be great.

Loved this dress. It's beautifully made in a flattering shade for most skin tones & feels elegant and feminine. Good for an hourglass shape especially. Some reviews found it revealing, but I didn't think it was particularly (I'm 30/32DD). Didn't get to wear it b/c I couldn't make the event I intended it for (bummed). Plan to rent it again. Note you may need to steam/press the shoulders on arrival to get the accents to lay right, and overall the fabric could have used a quick steam refresher.

Go immediately to this bag, do not pass go.
I grabbed this bag last minute -literally the minute the RTR Unlimited shop was closing- the night I went on a work trip. It was key. Perfect size for a carry on -computer, book, wallet, scarf, umbrella, etc- and for commuting. It had that bit of fun and flair that makes an outfit. Perfect shoulder length straps and hand held, too. I absolutely loved using it.

It's not the skirt's fault that I didn't get to wear it.
Fabulous color and pattern. Great high-low option if paired with a sweatshirt or sneaks. Didn't mind the tight bottom some people complained about. It's elastic, so moves with you. The waist does run tight - I had the medium skirt, and am a pretty standard 28 in jeans - and the waist band felt more like small-medium than typical medium. Got it for a work and fun trip. Wish I'd had the right moment to wear it, but that's the beauty of RTR Unlimited - I can try it again sometime!

Le Petite Robe di Chiara Boni dresses have you locked and loaded
Dresses by Le Petite Robe di Chiara Boni are made from the most amazing fabric! Keeps everything secure and feels so slimming. For an ideal fit I should have gotten the 42 (for reference I'm a 6 or 4 & I think I squeezed into the 38 of a floor length version of their dresses in store), but the 44 was all that was available. It was a little loose - some bumps along the seams in the hips and waist, but was totally wearable, & I actually preferred the looser fit for the work event I used it for.

Great & unique color, worth a try.
I liked these. Just right for some work and everyday wear, but there were some fit issues - a bit like old school granny pants. Comfy and cute with the right length top (not too long). Fantastic color that made me wish I liked the fit more. The way they're cut kind of widens the hips & flattens your rear in profile. I'm 5' 8" and they went down to my ankle. I didn't like the look with regular shoes (these are not slim legged Audrey Hepburn capris), but they were cute resting on an ankle boot.

Not for the taller girl.
This, though pretty, did not fit. I didn't wear it to the event I got it for. I'm 5' 8" with longer legs and a relatively short torso. I usually wear a 4 in dresses or shirts and a 6 in pants (28 in jeans). Still, this jumpsuit was too short in the body, a problem I almost never have, in both sizes I ordered (6L and 4L) and also too short in the legs. I read all the reviews and thought it might just work, but it definitely did not. I have worn another Halston jumpsuit (in black, tuxedo-style style collar) that doesn't have this fit issue.
