Good work dress
Comfy and cute, but I thought the cut was a little weird. It was simultaneously too big on the top half while the buttons still pulled? But the bottom fit totally fine despite being more form fitted. I would consider sizing down if I rented again but it's not on the top of my list to go back to.

Soooo Short in the Back
This skirt was so cute in the front and I would have kept it if I never had to turn around. I've got a healthy butt and the tops of my tights kept peaking out all day. I think a better fit for a flatter figure

Huge
Rented for a beach vacation in the hopes I could wear it with shorts or as a coverup. I'm a size 10-12 on top and RTR recommended a size 5 in this top, as that was unavailable I rented a size 3, which was still HUGE. I ended up wearing it as a coverup to the beach but I wasn't able to style it with real clothes. I received the top new with tags and the linen was heavy and stiff, I imagine this will relax with age.

Very warm and cozy but looked very frumpy, sleeves were much too long.

Scratchy
These are pretty well made pants, although I got a size too big. My only complaint is that I found them a bit scratchy, and I wear a lot of wool, so that's not something that usually bothers me. I'll be seeing if I can get these in a smaller size. Also, it's a little hard for me to tell whether these are black or a very dark navy blue.

Cute but unflattering
These pants are cute in theory but I found them unflattering when worn. They have zero stretch so they pancaked my butt instead of hugging it and were uncomfortable around my full thighs. Also, weirdly baggy on my calves which are totally average. I'm 5'6" and they hit me just above the ankle bone which I also wasn't a fan of; had they otherwise fit I probably would have cuffed them a touch.

Cute winter baby shower dress
Cute dress, very stretchy. I initially rented a large and needed to exchange for the medium. Frankly, if I rented again I would probably go down to the small. For reference I'm a pre-pregnancy pear shaped size 8, and was 32 weeks pregnant when I wore it. My biggest issue with the dress is that it hangs more than hugs, so it can make you look bigger than you are, especially if you're curvy. That said, the sparkles were super fun and color is great in person.

Comfy and lots of compliments
I wore this to work with booties & it felt warm & cozy. It's quite stretchy, I got my pre-pregnancy size at 30 weeks pregnant & it fit well. I don't think I would size down not pregnant because the shoulders need to be correctly fitted & I think going down would make them too small. I can imagine the waist being baggy if you're not expecting. The crossover isn't connected below the bust - be aware of adjusting so your bra doesn't peek out the bottom (could be good for nursing?). I'd rent again.
Sculpt Knit Dress

Itchy, short, and weird
I rented a medium at 26 weeks pregnant and it was a bit big on me, I think I could have gone down to the small to fit my shoulders better. That said, I found the dress too short to wear as a dress, and think I would have felt the same way pre-pregnancy. I received this on a Saturday so I wore it once over the weekend with leggings since I wouldn't be able to return it until Monday anyway, but on top of not being particularly flattering it was also itchy, so this went back promptly after 1 wear.
V-neck Mini Sweater Dress
Madewell
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8

Incorrect Description but fine black dress
When I rented this dress the RTR description stated it was a 90% wool-10% cashmere blend. In actuality, it's a 55% wool-45% viscose blend. So the dress is quite thin and only moderately stretchy. That said, it's a nice dress, soft enough, good for layering, and flattering on my 26 week pregnant belly. The slit is nice to balance out the below the knee length. For reference, I'm 5'6", a pre-pregnancy size 8 who so far has really only gotten bigger in the belly/boobs and the size medium fits well

Cute Basic Piece, but ITCHY
Cute standard dark grey turtleneck sweater dress. I ended up wearing it twice because I did like the fit on it, and I may have held onto it longer but the fabric was just soooo itchy! Not a nice feeling against my already ever expanding belly. I'm 25 weeks along and could have stayed in my normal pre-pregnancy size another couple weeks I think, but if I was renting later in pregnancy I would definitely size up.

Lots of compliments and very cozy
Very cute dress, I wore it to work and got multiple compliments within my first hour at the office (all from women for whatever it's worth). The dress is stretchy, except at the lace parts, and warm but still light and breathable. I'll be holding onto this one a while. I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant and it fits my bump with room to grow. However, because there is no zipper and the lace doesn't stretch I wouldn't be surprised if I eventually can't get the lower lacey bit over my stomach.

Very cozy sack
I wanted a warm and comfy sweater dress to wear while pregnant and this definitely works. It runs quite large, I'm a standard size 8 and didn't start filling out this dress in a medium until I hit 22 weeks pregnant. Pre-pregnancy I would have gone w/ a small. The dress is a little long for my personal preference but it's so cozy that I want to get over that. I could imagine buying this (at 90% off only) and having it tailored slightly at the waist & hemmed - then I think I would wear it often

Cute and fall appropriate
I originally rented this for a bachelorette party but didn't end up wearing it as others were dressed more casually. It's a cute dress, a little too relaxed for a true business professional work environment but I can imagine renting in the future for a date or evening out with friends. There is no stretch in the dress, but it's flouncy at the hips/belly, I rented an 8, which is standard for me, and it was a little tight around the ribs, but I'm 5 months pregnant and rented my pre-pregnancy size

Made for stick figures
While these seem to be nice quality jeans, they are made for women with zero curves. Based on the reviews I went up 2 sizes from my normal size and couldn't get them over my thighs. While I admit to being pear shaped, I'm not THAT pear shaped, and considered that I've gained no weight at this point in my pregnancy needing to size up any further seemed a little ridiculous. They have nearly no stretch in the denim portion, so just something to keep in mind.
