So pretty and flattering
I just never had anywhere to wear it or a great outfit to wear it with

This was almost too big to wear and I got my recommended size

Super flattering fit
I'm very self conscious about my mom tummy and this was very flattering.

Sleeveless Embroidered Midi Shirt Dress

Just ok
Great to throw on over swimsuit. Good quality. Just kinda blah .

Carreen Patch Pocket Shorts

SUPER thick material.

Anouk Scene Tee

Nothing super special
Nice neutral shorts to throw on over a swim suit and to go around town. I wish RTR did have more casual options.

Abbey Short

Love the fit and so flattering
But the buttons were noticeably scratched up. Otherwise I would've bought it. Now I'll have to use another rental spot to get one to buy.

I wanted to like this...
But it kinda has extra hips that are up higher than my actual hips and wider too. I think possibly it's supposed to be the style but idk. I do have a slightly longer torso but I've never had anything fit like this on me.

It's giving mom on Easter Sunday circa 1990
I should have paid more attention to the length on this. I think it needs to be midi length and maybe have a slit in the skirt to look a little more 2026. I thought it looked like something my mom would've worn with some white Enzo Angiolini flats.

Twofer Blazer Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR

Flattering but a little frumpy
This was flattering even with my mom tummy. I love that it actually has a zipper underneath the buttons so there's no gapping. It is breastfeeding and pumping friendly too which is a plus.

Meh
Just not flattering on my body type. I'm a pear shape with a bit of a mom pooch. I feel these types of styles can either be super flattering on me or quite the opposite! This one was somewhere on that spectrum but more towards the not flattering. It made my hips look wider than they are. It's nice quality and the skirt is lined but certainly not indicative of the very high price tag. Also showed a bit of cleavage if that's not obvious from the pics.

Long Peplum Dress
Rosie Assoulin
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6

Super unflattering
Somehow this just made my chest look flat and wide. I am currently breastfeeding so definitely not flat at the moment! b

Coen Peplum Top
Rails
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 34B
Just looked weird
Maybe a size down would've been better. I am losing weight and maybe don't know my size at the moment. This just looked like it wasn't fastened right in front but that's really just supposed to be the style.

Nyla Asymmetrical Linen Top
Milly
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 34B
So flattering
I'm always looking for dresses that hide my mom pooch but still look a little form fitting. This is definitely that! My only complaints are that it kinda requires shapewear since it shows every lump and bump at the hips and the slit is a little high so it's hard to hide spanx! I did not find an event to wear this to but I would love to rent it again. Despite my complaints, it was super flattering!

Sleeveless Midi McKenna Dress
Cinq à Sept
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 34B
Runs a little big
I think a size smaller would've been better for me. I never got to wear them but they were not totally unwearable due to sizing- just a little big.

Soft Curve Barrel Jeans
WARP + WEFT
Size Worn: 29

Loved this
This is basically a cardigan with an attached tank in the front. My only reason for 4 stars is it's a little low cut for work but that maybe doesn't matter to some.

Gabri Striped Button Up Cardigan
Sandro
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"

Bust: 34B
I wasn't sure about the bow in back
At 44, I felt like the bow was maybe a little young for me. However, this was super flattering with red Mary Jane flats and also with low-heeled boots when it was chilly. I might rent again. I got a lot of compliments.

Hannah Collared Midi Dress
Tanya Taylor
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 5"

Flattering
Linen shockingly somehow did not wrinkle much even packed in a suitcase. My only complaint was that this kinda looks like denim and that makes it a little more casual than I intended. Otherwise, loved the dress, got compliments.

Why does this have shorts attached?!
Why on earth did anyone think this needed to be designed with shorts attached? I was forced to wear it low rise because you cannot pull it up higher due to the shorts. It was not flattering at all and I didn’t realize how bad I looked until I was already out wearing it. It’s also a nightmare in a public restroom trying to undo the zipper and hold the whole thing up off the floor and out of the toilet.

So flattering
This dress was SO flattering on my mom bod. I was very tempted to buy it. However, when I first got out of the house with it on, I quickly realized that it was a lot of work to keep it from gapping and showing my boobs/bra. Then, when sitting, I was always adjusting it. I rented the medium first and thought sizing down to small would help. I think the medium and small are nearly identical though. I used fashion tape to keep it closed up top but it kinda always looked a little awkward. Regardless, I wore it a lot and might rent again.

Not flattering on me
I'm about a year postpartum and still breastfeeding. I thought this would be a perfect rental as it's button down plus I thought it would make my still chubby tummy area look smaller with the peplum. It didn't. It still hugged where I'm thicker and wasn't cute sadly. But it's high quality. Another issue I wanted to mention though is it looks navy if you try to wear it with black but I think it looks black next to navy. It's somewhere in between.

So unique!
As other reviewers mentioned, it is heavy but it didn't bother me carrying it around. Def big enough for my iPhone 14 and other essentials but obviously not a huge everyday bag.

Mixed feelings
Pros: I wouldn’t have guessed this is vegan leather. There’s really no need to buy a real leather jacket if they can make vegan leather look this good. It’s SUPER warm. It is reversible and I love it with the fuzzy side out. It’s such a cool, unique look. Cons: When you have the fuzzy side out, that means the leather side is against your skin and if you’re wearing short sleeves, it gets damp and sticky QUICKLY. That’s why I tried it with the fuzzy side in - I wore it under another coat for extra warmth in 30 degree weather. I wound up sweating through my shirt even while I was freezing. I think it just does not breathe well (or at all!).

Flattering on my postpartum body
I'm still trying to lose my baby belly and it's hard to find clothing that isn't a tent-like dress but still conceals the belly. These overalls were perfect for that.

Unflattering and quality not in line with price
This fit great but just wasn't flattering on my body. I'm working on my postpartum mom tummy. This don't really accentuate that but it made me look very hippy perhaps because of my mom tummy .

best maternity jeans!!
I am 36 weeks pregnant (170 pounds currently) and these are great!! They are slightly long but they worked even with a very low wedge bootie or sneakers that have a slight platform.

tried this for maternity and did not work
I ordered a size up and tried to make this work in my third trimester which might've been a dumb idea. I had another similar style skirt that did work so that is why I had hopes for this one. At 150+ pounds currently, I could easily get this on and wear with a sweater but it made me look really big! Perhaps with a longer sweater that is more fitted around the bottom or more fitted overall, it could work for this purpose.

This was super cute for maternity! I am about 150 pounds now and a bigger bottomed gal. This worked great although I tied it a little different so that it was snug above the belly and loose lower down. I would have worn it a lot more except it has gotten too cold.

too large
I am 27 weeks pregnant and if not pregnant I would be a small generally. This was still too large though. I wore it anyway and although I do like an oversized sweater, this one with the turtleneck just wasn't the best look. Maybe it is because I am pregnant and I am also smaller through the shoulders and boobs. It was also very itchy and I generally am never bothered by sweater itchiness.
