Pretty Material
Size 4 was not available so I went with the 6 because I do have broad shoulders. The 6 was too big but I wore it once buttoned up which still fit somewhat loose. Really beautiful jacket though! The amount of colors in the material lends itself to complimenting so many potential outfits.

Love Cashmere
Almost held onto this because it is so classic and comfy to wear in cold weather. Looser fit and I did not realize it was reversible until just now reading the RTR description. It does shed slightly.

Fun to Try
The material is really nice flannel and the skirt feels good to wear. It is not an item I would buy so this was a fun rental. I wore it a few times with different boots. Waist was a little loose.

Rented for a ski trip to Jackson and the functionality was perfect. The coat is oversized and warm. However, I was happy to return it as it is just takes up a lot of space!

Size down!
This is a fantastic skirt but the sizing is a bit off. If I was to rent again, I would size down. The waist was too big and the skirt flared out a bit too much. The color is beautiful though.

Tempting to buy
Surprisingly heavy weight fabric that flows just right. I loved it more than I thought I would initially. Considering buying it because it is unusual and feels good to wear....it was made for fall.

This is a funky and cool skirt to rock to a party or concert or the beach! It is flattering on. The waist is just right, if ever so slightly on the tighter side. Another good find at RTR!

Another Winner
This top is extremely pretty. It is also very loose and oversized. I wore it in warm weather out to a Korean dinner. Be careful reaching over for anything at a table because the sleeves are long and loose. This is a perfect item for RTR to offer because it is so fun to wear without the commitment of keeping it.

One of my favs
The colors and design of this dress! You can wear it braless and it is adjustable. I could not seem to get the top tight enough. It looked fine but I noticed on the bottom edges of the top, it kind of flared out. The straps are super long so make sure you loop it generously if you tie it in a bow. Really loved the pattern and color combinations of the blues and browns.

Pretty Details
The details of this top make it special. The material is actually kind of warm, wore it in the tropics. Perfect piece to put over a bikini top to do errands after the beach. The sleeves are a bit big.

A Day in Victoria
This dress was delightful to wear for a full day in Victoria, BC. The dress fit perfect. The straps are adjustable and I found using the shorter strap option to work best. The material is stiff and needed a steam after being packed in a suitcase. I wore heels with it to afternoon tea and then switched to red jelly flats for walking and a carriage ride around the city. I added my grandma’s vintage red crochet cardigan for a little warmth from the ocean breeze. This dress is extremely cheerful and feminine with special details like the intricate periwinkle buttons on the front.

Delightful details
Love this set so much! I erred on the side of renting a size 6 (based on reviews) and medium top (availability) and although I wore the sizes and it looked fine, the size 4 skirt and small top definitely fit better on my body. For reference, I have a 27.5 waist and 35.5 hips and size 4 hits right at natural waist and is form fitting. The size 6 skirt sat lower, loosely, and kind of flared out more at the sides. If you prefer a much more relaxed fit or have hips, go for the 6. The top has ties but not totally adjustable because the ties are fixed. The medium top was oversized in comparison to the small that fits just right. I have broad shoulders and am 36B and the small fits much better. In the photo, I wearing the Small top and size 4 skirt. Love it!

Could Not Let This Go
Fit just right. The neckline is low. I wanted to wear a bra, so I simply looped the ties around the center of the bra which completely concealed before tying it in a bow. If you like a high waist fit, deep v neckline, and showing some leg then this is the right piece for you!

Delightful RTR Pick
The dress is extremely flattering and fun to wear. Once I wore with espadrilles and another time I wore with cream-colored western boots. Lots of compliments both times. Recommend wearing a slip as the dress can be see through in certain lighting. The boning on one side of the dress started to feel tight towards the end of a long night. Highly recommend this piece!

Altered Sleeves with a Tie
Bold papaya color. Wonderful fabric. Read reviews and sized one size up to a 6 for the midsection which was a good idea. However the sleeves looked gigantic on me, almost cartoonish in combination with the color. I used some natural string and quickly gathered and tied the sleeves which gave it a different look all together that I personally liked. Just an idea to offer if you feel swallowed up by the sleeves. Ideal for warm weather.

See below Measurements for Size Small!
I wear size Small in Ronny Kobo. This dress came new with tags and I was soo excited to get it! The material and colors and style are delightful so it was depressing the sizing was so off. This fits much smaller than other Ronny Kobo dresses at the top in my opinion. Perhaps a very narrow body will fit this dress but here is what I measured: Width of top of dress = 32 inches (16.5 in across) Width of below bust line of dress= 26 inches (13.5 in across) My body measurement to correspond to top of dress (above bust line) = 35.5 inches My body measurement to correspond to below bust line = 30 inches So measure yourself before renting size Small! If your measurement is 26 inches or less below bust line and 32 inches or less above bust line then it will fit. If your measurements exceed this around the bust area, the dress will not zip up. Non-stretch material & design.

Tiny top & could not zip up—not even close!
Thought this dress would fit similar to other Farm Rio in which I always wear size Small. This was so far from being able to fit on top I wondered if it was mislabeled. You must have to be very narrow up around chest/back area to make this fit. I wear band size 34 and this was about 5 inches from being able to zip close on top. Fabric and pattern looked really cool though! Bummed it did not work for me.

Good length for short ladies
I simply love this dress and the way it moves when I walk. It’s a lot of material on the bottom but the length is good for me and I am barely 5’3. The deep v neck balances out how flowy the overall dress is. The blue color is stunning.

Well made denim skirt with a flattering high waist. The XS still was quite loose, this skirt runs big. The length was ok but probably nicer on someone around 5’6 or taller. Very soft denim.

Perfect high rise jeans
Being 5'2 and short waisted, these fit perfect! I did use hem tape to wear it because it was a little long and I ultimately purchased these with the 45% off promo because I could not part with them. They are now being professionally hemmed for me. My normal jean size is 26 in Paige but only size 27 was available. Other reviewers recommended sizing up. I'll never know if size 26 would fit better, but size 27 feels excellent. Very form fitting but not tight at all.

Size Up for a Flowy Look
I was surprised how much smaller this dress appeared in person and on my body. Although I am a size 4 and Small -- I believe if I ordered a Medium it would have looked better overall. It was fine to wear once but it did not fit as expected.

Size Up!
Could not wear. The fit was way too tight as the pockets did not even close. I am a true 4 and for pants/skirts (size 26 jeans) I usually size down to a 2. Wished I sized up…

Super Weird Fit for Short Waisted Lady
I love Sea New York and wear size 4 in their line. This was super odd. Brand new with tags. The torso was so long, I scrunched it up but then the zipper in back popped out in a big bump. This also accentuated my belly in the strangest way—not flattering. Bummed to not wear it but I could not wear this out. It is a swimsuit material by the way—if it fit decent, I would have enjoyed wearing it. Cool print and color. Recommend for long torso, tall, flat stomach ladies—enjoy!

This crochet dress is gorgeous and has a bit of weight to it so it is a bit warm in the tropics to wear. Could be perfect for the transitioning into fall on the coast of California....Beautiful color and comfortable to wear. Good to travel with because it folds nicely.

Lightweight, does not wrinkle so great to pack in a bag and go. Low cut and sheer. Fine to layer over a bralette or bikini top. Cute to pair with high waist anything...pattern was not my style but I did wear it once to a Korean bbq restaurant considering it would be shipped back and cleaned. Very travel friendly top.

Cute On, Scary to Get On & Off
You have to be very flexible and unafraid to get the top of your body into this romper. It is stressful. Besides that, it looks great on. Give it a good iron or steam after it arrives.

Prettier in Person
Another fabulous blazer by Veronica Beard. The details are noticeable in person such as the shimmery details of the tweed fabric. Seriously looks better in person than in the photos. Can wear with navy, cream, white, and browns. The jacket is mid-weight and was a bit warm on a 70 degree plus day outside. Perfect for cooler climates or indoors.

Too Easy
Small works on me (5'3) with and without a belt. I ended up buying this because it is just too darn easy, one & done, with a bonus of being tropical tailored! I bought it not for the fit, but for the material and print. The material is hearty and the print whimsical enough to pop back in my mind occasionally.

Perfect Concert Attire but Waist is Snug!
I wear 26 in jeans and usually a 2, sometimes 4, in skirts/pants -- the waist was too tight for me to be comfortable so I actually used a large safety pin instead of the hook for comfort. Wore to the DEVO concert in San Diego & it was perfect! Rented it way ahead of time just for the occasion, Then, I wore it again to another concert last minute. Both times I wore with a different combintion of boots and leggings/tights. The pouch can fit a phone, an ID, lipstick & CC/cash. The pleats in the front are not there anymore -- maybe due to wear, but the overall skirt is super fun and perfect for RTR!

Very feminine fit. Watch out for the leg opening—it can open really high and the material is silky so be aware. Wear with tights and don’t worry about it! I wore this to work a couple times and also out for a birthday dinner during the fall. Dress was in mint condition. Great rental! The colors were divine.

Good Call for a Cool Day
This was a high quality sweater that did not wow me in any way but was extremely comfortable to wear. Normally I shy away from horizontal stripes but this sweater was flattering in my opinion. The stripe placements just work well with the color combo too. Perfect for a cool day. It has a nice weight and is not itchy at all.
