Great material, as always with Theory
I love Theory, and this jacket was no exception. The material was beautiful. The jacket was very professional and felt fashionable at the same time. I'm typically a size 0 is Theory jackets and this 0 fit true to size. Will rent again (as part of my unlimited package)!

Beautiful color
I loved this top! I wore it to work and got a couple compliments. The color is great. The fit is flowy--like the picture. I'm about 4 months pregnant and it hit the bump perfectly.

Runs very big!
I'm 4 months pregnant and rented my usual size (2) because the reviews noted it ran big, so I thought my usual size was a good idea to make sure I had enough space around the middle. Even pregnant, I should have sized down. That said, I just belted it and wore it. It was comfortable and cute with tights in November.

Great material, great draping, but note there is a huge slit in back
The material of this jacket is very high quality, and I loved the way it fit and draped. My only complaint is that there is a slit up the middle of the back that goes all the way up to around the shoulder blades. Tough to pull off in my ultra-conservative office, but in a more lax or fashion-forward office it would be perfect.

Great material, runs a little big
Loved this material--it's extremely lightweight, which was great for the summer. I think it could work well all year, though. The fit was big. Typically I am a 2 in dresses, and often opt for a 0 in blazers. For whatever reason, I got the 2 and it was way too big. I still wore it a couple times with the sleeves rolled a bit. I plan to rent again in the 0.

So many compliments!
I wore this to a wedding in Estes Park, Colorado in October. It was perfect for a cooler fall wedding. The material is sweater-like. I opted for a S but I think the XS would have worked too. I'm typically a 2, sometimes a 4. I received so many compliments on the dress that night--from other wedding guests (even many that I didn't know), from the bride, from the caterers. It was really a big hit. I'd highly recommend it!

Very chic date night dress
I got this dress as part of my unlimited package and wore it for an anniversary date night at a dressier restaurant. I'm 5'7" and the length was mid-thigh--a little on the short side--which was perfect because the top is conservative. I am between a 2 and 4 and went with the 4--either option probably would have worked well. I felt very chic in the dress. The only downside is that the sleeves wouldn't stay tied all night. I saw some of the other reviewers note that, but figured I wouldn't be dancing or running around in it so it might not be an issue for me. Unfortunately, even just sitting at dinner, they came undone. A bit annoying. Fashion tape might actually help keep them together.

I love these sunglasses. I really didn't want to send them back. I have a smaller face and they did't overwhelm me. The shape is classic but just unique enough to feel really chic.

This was one of my favorite rentals. It fit perfectly, was so comfortable and fun. The materials is thick, but I wore it on a hot summer day and it was no problem. I got a ton of compliments. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful dress, a little tight in the hips
I am between a 2 and 4 on the bottom, and a 0 and 2 on top. I tried the XS, which fit well up top but it was just a bit too snug on the hips. It's a beautiful dress, though, and I will probably rent again in a S.

Perfect for a bridal shower
I loved this dress for a friend's springtime bridal shower and I got a lot of compliments on it at the event (and even from a stranger on my way to the event). It fit really well for me (I'm smaller on top than on bottom) and even though the fabric is fitted I thought it was fairly forgiving--I opted to skip the Spanx. I'm 5'7" and the length was about the same as it is on the model.

Beautiful scarf
I loved the colors in this scarf--perfect for spring or summer. Even though the material is thin, there's more of it than it appears, so this was a little bulky for an everyday scarf. I would love to rent it again for a wedding to use as a wrap--I think it would be perfect.

Lovely color and material
The color and material are beautiful. The size is just ok. It's too large for some purposes (going out) and a little too small to tote around a lot. I live in NYC and used it for work but the lack of closure and the floppy shape made me a little nervous that my wallet and phone were just kind of exposed while on the subway and walking around. I really love the color for spring, though!

Unflattering on me but cute on the hanger
Even though the romper technically fit, I didn't bring it along for my beach vacation because I found it to be unflattering to my hips and thighs. The top fit well (kind of loose, as it looks on the model), but on the bottom the material really hugged and highlighted my widest part. Maybe if I had sized up it would have been more flattering. The material and colors are great, though. It would be such a cute piece on the right person.

The material of the bag exceeded my expectations--it's very nice. I liked the size (it holds letter-sized papers so great going to/from work). The color is bright, as pictured, which made me ready to trade it in after just a few wears (I got this as part of the Unlimited program).

Fun, but a little too big
These sunglasses are really fun and the color is awesome, but were a little too hard for me to pull off walking around the city. They were just a little too big on me (that tends to happen with sunglasses, I guess I have a small face) and that combined with the color, was a little much. Good quality lenses though.

These bracelets are awesome. I got them with my first Unlimited order and I've been wearing them with everything. They are subtle enough for my fairly formal corporate job, but also looked great dressed up for weekend nights out. I have small wrists and they aren't falling off.

Not for B cup
I love the look of this dress, and my normal size (2) fit well everywhere except in the chest. There was a ton of extra material. Even if I had been able to wear a push up bra (which you can't in this dress), the front would have still been saggy. I have a stick on/strapless/backless bra and that certainly didn't work. You really need more of a chest to fill out the front of this dress. That said, it's beautiful and I really wish it would have fit, because it is gorgeous in person.

Like, not love
I thought this dress was cute. It wasn't the most flattering, though not unflattering either. It just didn't do much for me. I wore it to a bridal shower in New York in January. It was appropriate for the event, but I wore it with black tights and you could see the top of the tights through the lighter material of the body. Usually when I use rent the runway I get a million compliments on the dress and feel like the best dressed in the room. I didn't feel that way in this dress, but I still thought it was cute.

Probably won't work if you are tall
I really loved the look of this romper. The material is nice and if it fit I'm sure I would have been really happy with it. But it was so small length-wise that I definitely could not wear it. The space for the butt was up on my back--it was not even close to long enough for me. I'm between 5'7" and 5'8" and tried on the size 2.

So cute!
I rented this for a friend's bachelorette party in Miami. I thought it was perfect. I wasn't looking for something tight and tiny, but still wanted something fun and this fit the bill. I normally wear a 2 in dresses, but on top I'm more like a 0. The 2 fit snuggly in the top, which doesn't happen that much to me. If you are bigger on top, this might be too snug.

Bachelorette party hit
I rented this and a back up dress for a friend's bachelorette party in Miami. I ended up wearing my back-up dress so that my friend could borrow this. It fit me too, and I loved both options. I thought my friend looked great in this one! It fits snugly (I am a 2 and my friend is a 2 to 4, and the small fit us both). It's not super short, though, and it's covered up on top so it's good combination of sexy and classy.

I loved this dress to wear to my friends' Brooklyn wedding. I got so many compliments on it. I think this was probably my favorite RTR so far. I'm between 5'7" and 5'8" and I wore the 2L with 2.5 inch heels. That was just about the right length.

Perfect for fall wedding guest
I loved this dress to attend my friend's fall wedding. It was extremely comfortable, the material was great and overall it was flattering. I am normally a size 2, and I ordered the 4 as a back up, which I do regret. I think the 2 was fine, but the 0 probably would have been a better fit.

Perfect for friend's rehearsal dinner
I wore this to a friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. I had to go straight from work to the dinner, and this dress was perfect for that purpose. I didn't feel out of place at work, but it's fun and bright enough for the rehearsal dinner. I found that it ran small--I usually wear a size 2 but I opted to wear the UK Size 8. The UK Size 6 fit, but was too tight across the hips. Also note that the green is really bright. Like neon bright. I liked that, but just didn't realize how bright it would be.

Beautiful but did not fit
The dress I ordered was not returned by the previous renter on time, so RTR sent me two replacement options instead, including this dress in size 2, which is my normal size. I loved the cut and material of this dress. The back is so cute! However, it just did not fit. The bottom was too tight, and the top was too loose (in tops I wear size 0-2, bottom size 2-4). On the right body it would be great, but not for me.

Too small
The dress I ordered was not returned by the previous renter on time, so RTR sent me two replacement options instead, including this dress in XS. I am usually a size 2, and I could barely get this on my body, let alone zip it up. Way too small. But the material was very nice, as you would expect from this designer.
