Another great purchase!
Beautiful velvet-like texture, unstructured, super soft, with black satin lining... leopard print has a beautiful ombré like hunt to it. Super luxe looking and eye catching. Had to buy it. 5 ft 9, 190 lbs, usually between a 12 & 14 (closer to 12) - XL fit perfectly.

So amazing I bought it!
Gorgeous plaid, vibrant colors, gold toned button accents, perfect amount of structure, navy blue satin liner that shows beautifully when sleeves are cuffed.... felt like a million bucks in this thing (even though you can't tell by my no-makeup face / no hair style look, lol. Rent this, you won't regret it!

Buttery soft leather
After reading a few other reviews mentioning a small/ short fit, I was slightly hesitant to rent this jacket - but so glad I did ! I'm 5 ft 9, 190 lbs, and the XL fit perfectly. Buttery soft leather, gorgeous quality, beautiful pop of unexpected color, and great fit that hits right about top of hip height - perfect fit good style jacket. Perfect casual fall afternoon look!

Super flattering
I'm 5 ft 9, so was concerned about dress length, and am between a size 12/14, so was concerned about wearing anything by Kooples.... but this is perfect! Pair with simple black Louboutins, and you have an amazing outfit. Will definitely be very short when I sit, but nothing a little cross of the legs can't fix. Plus it's summer- time to show off those gams!

Perfect picnic dress with just the right amount of "extra"!
As other reviewers have said, this is a very long dress. I'm 5 ft 9, 190 lbs, and ordered the Large Petite- I've never been a petite anything in my life, but this dress fit perfectly. I wore flat gladiator sandals, and the bottom of the dress just barely grazed the floor, when I would walk, my toes would peek out from under the dress- truly the perfect length for my height. Lots of fabric, which gives it a somewhat dramatic vibe, simply perfect for an early summer evening picnic!

Gorgeous, but the static cling is unreal!
This is my second time renting this skirt, and I absolutely love it. It's long, flowy, lightweight, feminine, tropical, and fabulous.... and the striped waist line gives the illusion of a beautiful belt. But holy wow the static cling! The static happened last time too, but I hoped it was an isolated occurance. Wrong! I would buy this if it weren't for the static cling. Pro tip: if you're in between sizes, size up.

Comfy & Flattering
I was pleasantly surprised with this one! I'm in between a size 12 & 14, and opted for the 14, because you just never know with jumpsuits. Super cute, super comfy, and would buy except I'm on a downward weight trend, so not sure it makes sense to buy right now. A lot of reviewers commented on pant length being too short, but I disagree. I'm 5'9, and these were right at/above ankle length, which I thought was super cute & very modern.

One of my favorite rentals ever!
I've used my membership during quarantine to rent really fun pieces, and this has been my favorite of them all... super dramatic & feminine. Paired here with a white ribbed turtleneck crop top & white/ black cap tie YSL pumps... but I think would be equally stunning with white sneakers & a fitted white tee, or a black cami & strappy black sandals. Will definitely rent again... another badgley mischka stunner!

Pretty, just didn't pair with the outfit I envisioned
Beautiful skirt, period. I had an idea in my head to pair it with a white crop top (like model), or a tucked in tshirt and sneakers for a super casual look, but it just didn't work for me. I'm in between a 12/14, and where the skirt hit was just a little too high on my torso to pull off either look. Threw on a dressier top just for this pic... it's beautiful, just not what I was looking for in this moment. I'm sure will rent for a more formal event in the future.

Really wanted to love this
The zipper was stuck, so I literally couldn't even put it on. Looks like it would have been super cute though. One item of note, this piece could potentially be challenging for curvy girls (like me)- because my hips/rear fill out the pants, there was a slight pull across the tummy... I think I would have been slightly self conscious in this had I had the opportunity to wear it.

SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!
Super comfortable, and girgeous distinct pattern... loved the blousy on top/ kind of fitted look on bottom. Im between a 12 and 14, and rented the large. When i first put it on, it fit nicely (a little big), but it def stretched out after a few hours- i MAY try a medium next time, although im sure that would be too tight in the thighs.

Sparkly semi-cropped sweatshirt
I thought this piece was just okay. Fits TTS, a bit cropped but works well with a high waisted pair of jeans or leggings. Super soft interior & the sequins are fun, but it's missing that "it" factor that you get with a super high end piece (this is not) that you usually get from RTR. With that said, it was cute, fun, and I may rent again at some point.

Chiara Boni can do no wrong 💯🙌🏼❤️
Hands down my favorite designer, so I already knew what to expect with this dress: pure perfection. Chiara Boni knows how to dress a woman, period, point blank. Im a 12/14, so ordered a 50, but will definitely downsize to a 48 next time... It still looks gorgeous, but one of the best things about Chiara is that the dress acts as SPANX- not this time. As my GF Sonia always says, "nobody likes limp body con". 🤣 Also the fuscia details in the dress are FAR better than what you see online ❤️🙌🏼

If I weren't moving to Florida, I'd buy it!
This is by far my favorite coat of the season, and my second time renting it. The first time I ordered a size large & kept it more than a month. I thought springtime had hit, so I retuned it... But no, winter came back with a vengeance (thank you New England), and so I rented it again, this time in a med. I'm a size 12/14, so I had reservations about the med, but the large was huge, so figured worth a try. The med fit, but arms were kind of tight. Next time I'll go with a large again.

They're better than you'd think!
This was my first pair of mom jeans, and I was scared to death. As a curvy girl (size 12/14), I was super fearful of the lack of stretch, and just generally looking larger.... Turns out I love them! These are loose around the waist as other reviewers said, but I think it's designed that way to wear with crop tops- this way there's no bulge at all & your stomach looks beautifully flat, even if you don't have wash board abs. One comment- they also stretched out a bit.... BUT, I bought em anyway!

If you're in between sizes, size down
Great casual spring dress- can dress down with sneakers & a fedora for a cool street style, or dress up with pumps and a great belt for a day in the office. I'm 5'9" and in between a 12 and a 14 right now & ordered an XL- def should have gone with the large.

Quarrantine party for 1!
I've been waiting for this dress to come available FOREVER, and I finally got it. It is everything I hoped for: floaty, etherial, and a gorgeous color way. If the covid-19 pandemic ever ends & I have the opportunity to wear this outside of the house, I will definitely need to safety pin the top of the leg slit closed. At 5 ft 9 the slit literally cuts higher than my vagina. Way higher (like hip height). Can't wait to wear this out someday... Not hard to see why it's always sold out ❤️

Waaaay cuter than I expected!
I rented these after increasing my membership to 10 slots for a vacation. After vaca I still had the slots to use, so rented some spring stuff I wouldn't normally try, in preparation for the season change- this way if it didn't look amazing, I wouldn't be wasting my precious open slots once back to 4-6. So glad I did bc these pants are incredible! Im a curvy girl- size 14, carry most of my weight in my hips & butt, but also have a little bit of a belly, & in these pants I felt & looked amazing!

STUNNING!!!
Wowwwww, this thing is uh-mazing. The sequins are beyond gorgeous, and the sheer striping is insanely sexy without being over the top. I recommend wearing without a cami, and with a black bra (strapless or strapped) as pictured on the model. GORGEOUS top, and will absolutely rent this again (and again).

Loved it so much I bought it!
I almost didn't rent this because it was a lower retail value piece, and I think one of the best things about RTR is getting to wear all of these fabulous & expensive clothes you wouldn't normally buy on your own. With that being said, I finally caved because I live in Boston, winter is cold, and there are only so many sweaters you can rent- you're bound to rent them all eventually, lol. With that being said, this thing is WAY prettier in person than it is online.... gorgeous hints of deep wine, bright yellow... my description isn't great, but trust me the colors are STUNNING, and the fit is gorgeous- hides the extra winter pounds, while still flattering your curves & not making you look like you're wearing a potato sack. Rent it, and then buy it.

Fashion forward sweatshirt
It's a sweatshirt. It's not the softest I've ever worn, but you can tell it's super high quality. Cute for a loungey day when you don't want to get dressed, but still want everyone around you to know that you care about fashion. I paired with distressed boyfriend jeans, white yeezys, and Derek Lam collective plaid overcoat (also from RTR). Also, even though it's a sweatshirt- it's not huge- so if you want an oversized look, be sure to size up.

WARM! High quality! Not your traditional black- stand out in the crowd :)
Definitely runs large, but that's also the look.... super warm, perfect for December in Boston. My favorite look in this coat was when I paired it with cuffed boyfriend jeans, ankle length 2 in heel Prada booties, Maison de Papillon Breton strip sweater (also from RTR), and long gold oversized vintage Chanel necklace. Felt super casually stylish, put together, warm, and comfy for a long day walking around the city. Also- I got laid off this day, so kind of an emotionally tough day- BUT this outfit literally warmed my heart. Seriously.

Another perfect winter sweater! Don't be afraid of horizontal stripes- it's all good!
As a curvy girl, I've always been afraid of the dreaded Breton stripe.... so glad I tried this sweater- felt casually stylish and amazing. Super comfy, not itchy, obviously high quality sweater. I paired with boyfriend jeans, oversized vintage long Chanel necklace, white Adidas NMDs, and camel Trina Turk overcoat (also from RTR) for the win.

Great work blouse. Nothing too special, just a really good blouse. Fits on the large size- I wouldn't necessarily recommend sizing down, just know that it's a loose/oversized fit- personally, I like that look with a super tailored pant & sky high pumps.

Rent this, and rent it now.... then rent it again when you want to feel like a million bucks. I just love this designer- everything is always impeccably designed, and exceptionally flattering on curvy figures. Gorgeous super lightweight material, incredibly comfortable, and the details are just ridiculous. Can't wait to rent it again. Sizing note: I am a very consistent size 14, ordered a 50 & loved it- but I probably could have sized down to the 48 for a more tailored/exceptionally formfitting look.

Surprisingly Well Placed Stripes!
Was really pleasantly surprised with how flattering this was! I'm a very traditional size 14, and carry my weight through my hips, upper thighs, and that lovely little tummy I can't seem to get rid of on my way to 4-0. I didn't end up wearing the dress, because I felt like wearing a specific pair shoes that didn't work with this dress like I had hoped it would.... would look gorgeous with a classic pair of black loubs!

Loved it so much I bought it!
Sometimes you wonder why you need a designer sweatshirt.... wait, no- no you don't.... not when you've rented pieces this like this! I loved this top (kind of sweatshirt-y, not really) so much I bought it. Perfect for casual weekends, but still inserting a hint of style and quality. My favorite way to wear this is paired with a distressed boyfriend jean, christian louboutin spiked loafers, oversized vintage Chanel long necklace, and camel Trina Turk overcoat (also purchased from this site). Simple, comfy, low-key weekend look done fashionably.

Gorgeous, but large in the waist- if you're an hourglass, size down!
Absolutely gorgeous like everything else by this designer. Always made to fit and flatter a curvy woman, I appreciate the attention to detail & high quality fabric choice. Only word of advice is size down, I was swimming in this top and ultimately decided not to wear it because of the sizing.... can't wait to order it a size down! Size note: I'm a very consistent size 14 (5 ft. 9 195 lbs), rented a 50, and will go down to 48 next time.

Very obviously super high quality, gorgeous low-key blazer. I wore to work with black cinq-a-sept pants, black Rachel Zoe cami, gold & pearl drop necklace, and black Gucci pumps- felt like a million bucks. Would also look great if you simply swapped the black pants for jeans, and added more statement jewelry. Definitely a very heavy/warm blazer- so best for ladies in cold climates during the winter.

It's fine, but I'd recommend one of the glitzy Badgley Mischka blazers over this one.
I rented this to wear on a date, but ended up wearing something else.... the jacket is fine. I love sparkles, and was really excited to see this sequined stunner, but it was just kind of lack luster.... cut and details are pretty boring, other than the sequins, nothing special going on here- I'd much rather re-rent the gold sequined Badgley Mischka tie waist blazer, or the black and jeweled/ gold grommet detail Badgley Mischka blazer.

IF one of these happens to open up in your size, rent it right away!
I had this one tagged as a "must rent now" list in my hearts.... I monitor this list like a freaking stalker, and I use it only for those rare pieces that I LOVE but are NEVER available because EVERYONE else ALWAYS has them :). Well, my opportunity finally came yesterday. I ordered the 44, even though I would have preferred a 46 (I'm a pretty consistent size 14, but I find in coats, can usually size down to a 12). The 44 arrived, and is STUNNING! I actually bought it already, lol! Like other reviewers said, there was some slight pilling, but at the markdown price, I couldn't resist. This piece is gorgeous, and fits perfectly- if I had gone with the 44, probably would have been a tad oversized. Also, of note: this coat appears to be winter white/ cream online, but is actually a very pale shade of blush/ buff. Regardless, it's gorgeous. You deserve this coat in your life. Just saying ;)
