Is this a toddler size?
Not sure why sizing up even 1-2 sizes would NOT BE ENOUGH?! Can reformation adjust their sizes to be reflective of the real world and not children sized?

Jumpin jumpsuit!
From the moment I walked in to the party, strangers and friends alike could not stop talking about this clear showstopper jumpsuit. I'm short waisted so this fit worked. The regular length was not too Long and the petite would have been far too short on 5'2" frame and heels. The only only downside is going to the bathroom requires a buddy for the zip!!

Special sleeves make this a winner
Definitely a fave rental and debating the purchase of this classic black sheath dress with a twist: fun shoulders and sleeves. Showered with compliments. Slenderizing and just perfect. As said in other reviews there is no back slit so strides are a little shorted but worth it for this!

Golden Get!
Would NEVER spend the money for this sweatshirt but got a ton of use out of it. Totally jazzed up several weekend days worth of leggings and felt like a star compared to the usual non descript tops.

a fun spin on the vegan leather. Ties on the bottom were a nice touch. Fit was a bit off though. Maybe not that flattering but definitely got complimented all over.

it was so hard sending this back and already missing it. Perfect faux fur jacket that looks as good over leggings and exercise wear as it does over work outfits and going out clothing.

Fun way to get ready for fall
Liked this one! Was a great transition piece for end of summer to fall. Amanda Uprichard does run a bit small so did size up and was happy so there was no pulling around mid section and didn't feel too short on my 5'2" frame.

I've been doing RTR for over a year. This is the FIRST time that my husband actually commented to say, "wow, those are awesome pants". Fabulous for beach vacation and dinner out. So comfy and bright. Sad to send them back but for sure will be back to rent next summer

Fun change from little black dress
Got lots of compliments on this one. Pattern was great and was great for work. Cons: a little long. Also stretched over the day. Probably should have sized down to xs for better shape.

Elastic waist had seen better days
Was super excited for this with the top and dress. Planning to wear the top for work and then transition to night with the dress only. Dress was boxier than I had imagined but what made it entirely unwearable was the lack of elastic on the top as well as the top being super short. It fell well above the waist but while there was supposed to be elastic at the waist to create shape, nothing. Totally stretched out and no way of making it tighter. Loved the print though!!

Usually love the 2 piece look but this was pretty underwhelming. Quality material but design was really frumpy and not fun. Definitely not a spring/summer look.

Cute but beware the front gape!
Loved this springtime dress. Light and airy and perfect for changing up the usual LBD routine. However, the front MASSIVELY gaped. Two pieces of fashion tape helped but had co-workers on board to let me know if my top went from PG-13 to R!
