Wore 4+ Times
Wore this to work and out with friends, loved the bright red and the long ties. Husband loved it. Weird fit through arm holes and the 'straps' were set very close to my neck which made bras weird

Wore this to an outdoor September wedding in Virginia. So many compliments! Colors true to photos. A bit long for me at 5'4" but having pockets was worth it. Would rent again

Beautiful fabric but not the right waistline for me
Wanted to love this but the waist was closer to an empire than a natural waist. That always seems to accentuate my belly. Also, the skirt is a bit gathered into the waistline which adds bulk I didn't need around my hips. Not quite right for short hourglass ladies like me. Fabric and pattern were lovely and just right for a summer wedding or Easter Sunday

Fancy casual
The cut and the pinstripes make this seem very businesslike but the fabric quality wasn't as crisp as I would like. Seemed to have extra fabric in the middle... wasn't as fitted as I expected for a sheath. Good but wouldn't rent again

Dress up or dress down
I love classic pieces in solid colors so this really works for me. My husband asked me to buy it but I use RTR specifically for pricier pieces that I can't/won't buy. Picks up lint and dirt a little easily, had to refresh between wears. Thick ponte fabric, lined, has pockets! Love.

Flattering on hourglass shapes
Great for work and play! Hit 2" below the knee on me (5'4") but still looked great. Probably too long for anyone shorter. It has a front full length zipper which means it's not adjustable... the 44 was appropriately fitted on me without drawing attention to my belly. 36C/D, don't think it will fit larger bust without pancake boob.

Versatile house dress
Hubby rented this on my behalf and he loved it! I typically wear more fitted styles so I wasn't sure how I felt about how roomy it was at other waist line. I ended up wearing this 4 times both out and just to the beach. Super easy and wearable, wrinkle resistant

Dress up or down, very classy
Probably best for a B or smaller C cup.... I felt slightly squished but definitely did need a bra! The straps were adjustable with 2 options plus ability to cross racer back style, but neither was just right for me. Liner wouldn't stay flat and was visible in the back, even after ironing. Still, I loved the great structure of this top and would definitely rent again

Will rent again and would buy if less expensive!
Love this so much, perfect for hourglass shapes. The top gave great flexibility because of how much you can adjust using the drawstring neck. I almost never go without a bra but this dress has a thicker, crisper fabric that made me feel appropriately covered and held in. The snaps never stayed snapped in the back but nobody noticed. Beautiful for the beach with the blue and white seersucker pattern. Husband begged me to buy but it was full price and I figured could always rent again!

Tons of compliments
Hubby selected this on my behalf and I was skeptical. With my fair skin, I stay away from yellow but this was very flattering! Better with a tan. I'm 5'4" and this was longer than I would have liked. I'm 36C-D and had serious pancake boob but others didn't notice. I suggest no bra or unlined bra for the most natural looking fit. Excellent overall rental for hourglass shapes

Who would pay hundreds of $$ for such a basic skirt?
Yes, the colors were rich and beautiful but otherwise, nothing special about this skirt. In fact, the material was a bit thin/see through and showed all the imperfections of my midsection. Not flattering on me, would not rent again. If you have the body of a model, go for it.

Husband and friends couldn't get over how sexy this romper looked
Another first for me, thought I was too old to pull off a romper at 40. This print and fabric was too beautiful to ignore. Like others, it came without the fabric sash belt but I managed with a skinny gold belt from my wardrobe. Frustrating since I didn't have time to remedy before leaving on vacay. It was amazingly comfortable and I loved it, but the positive reaction from my husband and friends was what put this piece over the top! Please go for it.

This dress had Mexico written all over it! Husband wanted me to buy it
When I saw this dress, I stalked it and ordered it weeks earlier than needed to be sure I would have it for my Mexico vacation. I took advice and fit notes from previous renters and ordered a 10 to accommodate a full bust and a less than perfect midsection. It was STILL very boobalicious but it worked at a casual beach resort, and could easily be fixed with a cami. It was also lined in that section but the lining kept rolling outward (see right photo), but I wore it twice anyway!!

Incredible color, I just wish it had fit
I ordered my normal size 8 but didn't wear because it was just too tight over my imperfect belly. The dress gathered above the hips and across the belly to accentuate imperfections. It also gaped across the bust (I'm a 36C/D) and cut into the skin under my arms creating rolls I don't usually have. I have returned it and will try the 10 because the emerald green color is stunning and uncommon. The color is perfect for fair-skinned ladies and the fabric feels totally luxurious

Maybe they run small, or maybe I'm just running big this winter ....
I super love the color!! Not stonewashed but also not blue. These are definitely the 'painted on' jeans Luke Bryan always sings about. Wearing 29R in the picture and I will definitely rent one or 2 sizes larger next time. I normally wear an 8, occasionally a 10. Great condition.

This thin sweater hangs beautifully and flatters the figure. The wide stripes have all of my favorite winter colors. I'm going to have a hard time sending this one back. Wearing with RTR Madrid Jeans by RtA - https://rtr.app.link/33yc0KkN52

Cozy but cavernous!
I could fit a Joey in the extra fabric around the belly! Very soft, pliable, and comfortable... but I have plenty of hoodie sweatshirts for that. I was looking for a cute piece of outerwear that also gave some style and this isn't really doing the trick. If I DID want to rent again, I would go down from an M to a S

Perfect blazer to pep up a winter work wardrobe
I wore this for a job interview because I wanted to look professional and conservative with a bit of style. This is an extremely well-constructed wool blazer that is lined, so it is very warm.... almost too warm to wear indoors when the heat is running all day. I loved the classic plaid. It has black and navy among the colors so you can pair it with most any basic pant you already have in your closet. I wore a 10 to be sure it would fit over my chest (36D) and it was perfect.

Super black and super tight
First, the color was awesome. I've seen lots of comments from other reviewers that RTR jeans show up faded or stretched out, but these were like new and they were richly black. The fit was tight but the rise was a bit lower than I like and I had to wear a belt to keep these from sagging or rolling under my belly. Overall, great jeans when you want a solid, midnight black.

Loved the color and style but too body con for me
I rented this in hopes of wearing with black jeans and boots for a Christmas party. I loved the funky neon green with the classic gingham print. The open back is super sexy and would still allow you to wear a normal bra without it showing. Based on other reviews, I sized up to a Large from my normal medium. It was still way too tight for me to wear. It showed every imperfection of my less-than-flat tummy. I would recommend only for fit ladies due to the spandexy tightness.

More than your average black leather jacket
This jacket is awesome! I wish I had a photo but I can confirm it is high quality and very soft, comfortable leather. There are black lighting bolts stitched all over the jacket which create a very subtle textural contrast with the black leather. My husband even commented that he loved that detail. I normally wear medium but it wasn't available so I wore the large. It fit fine and I would say TTS since it wasn't as fitted as I prefer. I will definitely rent again in my normal M.

Basic Black Jeans
I've rented these twice because they work for the size I am now, but I wish they were a little more form fitting. I prefer mid rise for my jeans but these have just a bit too much fabric on the front for me leaving a slight pooch when sitting. No big deal when wearing long/baggy layers and definitely comfortable

Might Work For Fit, Tiny Women
I really wanted to make this work, but I'm not the right shape for this dress. I'm normally an 8, rented a 12 based on other reviews. If I had spanx to handle my belly AND fashion tape to keep the dress from riding up, I might have worn it but I would have been self conscious the whole time. To be fair, I never wear body con dresses or poofy sleeves so this was an attempt to push out of my comfort zone. I think this dress is probably most flattering on taller, slender women

Basic Style with Sparkle
This dress still had tags on when it arrived! I wore this to the theater in December and wanted something a little festive. The shimmer made this basic dress feel more special. I did think it was a little boring on the hanger but my husband loved it, so I added a belt and a jacket to accessorize. Not the most flattering photo and my arm is covering the belt, but with a little effort, it worked. Size was slightly large and I definitely needed the belt.

Comfortable, Stylish, So Many Compliments!
I was stopped so many times by people complimenting the dress and wondering where I got it (insert RTR rave reviews!!). The blue was between cobalt and navy which made it more interesting than your basic navy dress. I love the fit and flare style but would mention one of the horizontal stripes did hit at the widest part of my hips and made me wish my tights were spanx.... otherwise, it was perfect! If I could lose my muffin too, I would buy this dress.

Unique Blazer Color
I wore this to a job interview because I wanted something colorful without being too bold. This was the perfect solution! The color is between burgundy and brick red, lovely fall color. I paired it with black trousers and a black theory top from RTR. It was too small to button so I would size up if you have a full bust

Stunning, colorful dress that makes a statement
I would normally be a medium but it wasn't available so I ordered the large. Thank goodness! It was definitely tight around the rib cage. It was also a bit revealing in the bust area which is why I added the cardigan. It honestly fit like a corset but I didn't want to draw that much attention to my top half. I also had to pin the straps for a DIY alteration for better fit up top. The uneven hem is on trend for 2019 and I got tons of compliments in Napa during winery tours.

Versatile and stylish
Rented this bag for a formal outfit during a trip but ended up using it with every outfit during the vacation. Large enough for my regular size iPhone 8 Plus a few small items. It has a gold strap that I left tucked into the purse and just carried it like a clutch. The magnetic clasps are strong so it stays closed
