Would buy if cheaper
Loved this! Definitely would rent again. Considered buying it, but for over $300, that's a little out of my price range. There's some stretch, but it runs on the fitted side. Received compliments.
Irena Denim Dress
Cinq à Sept
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Felt like a star
I loved this dress and received many compliments. XL fits like a Large would in non-RTR brands if you know what I mean. XL fit well on me because I'd buy a Large anywhere else. Ha. Would consider buying if the price was much lower. Hope to rent this again!
Ponte Star Dress
Nicole Miller
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Nothing special
I expected it to be more flattering based on other reviews, but it was basic. Didn't get any compliments in it, so wouldn't rent again, but it was fine.
Gingham Cierra Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Runs small, size up
Might have liked it more if it hadn't been so tight. I preferred the denim dress by 'See by Chloe' for more accurate sizing & because that one had pockets.

This is a BODYCON, but I loved it.
There is some stretch, but it's definitely a bodycon. If you're unsure on what size to get, size up! I'm a 8-10 Lululemon and the XL fit snug! It's a cute print and I'm actually considering buying it. If I don't buy, I'd 100% rent again obviously. It's a statement dress.
Leopard Mock Neck Dress

Statement Leather Jacket - would've bought if cheaper
This is a statement leather jacket. No hiding in this print. Definitely received compliments, I think all from women with good taste lol. If it was less expensive, I'd consider buying it. Not sure if it would wear well overtime though because I think the print is painted on the leather. The only thing that annoyed me a little bit was the noise of the buckle on the waist and it not being removable. Overall loved this, would recommend, & rent again!
Leopard Smooth Jayne Leather Jacket
VEDA

Bust: 38C
One of my favorite rentals yet!
I loved this 100% silk ALC dress and would definitely rent it again! Received compliments, but also just felt like a boss all day wearing this. The cool kind of boss. Like, if this dress was in a movie, it wouldn't be the sidekick wearing it. I said true to size because it's true to ALC size. I'm a 14 in ALC, but a 10 in Lululemon. Ha. 10/10 would recommend.
Zebra Print Kennedy Dress
A.L.C.
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Perfect
I didn't receive any compliments the first time wearing these so I'm going to try again tomorrow. Ahaha. I think they are perfect. Great fit. Comfortable. Cute print. They deserve compliments.
Python Printed Skinny Jeans
Louna
Size Worn: 32R
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Made for thick thighs & small waist?
This was an odd fit for an hourglass shape who typically fits most size 32 pants. It was designed for a smaller waist than mine, yet had extra room in the thighs? Didn't receive any compliments wearing these, but I liked the color and print.
Camo Good Waist Jeans
GOOD AMERICAN
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
A fancy hospital gown w/ pockets
Received compliments, specifically from coworkers who also use RTR, ha. I liked that it had pockets. I liked that it had an adjustable waist so I could tie it tighter, since it ran large especially compared to other Jason Wu size 14 dresses on RTR! Overall, the fabric and look made me feel like I was wearing a $500 hospital gown. Also, it's shorter than expected because of the slots on the sides and the height of the lowest button when sitting down.
Stripe Seersucker Shirtdress
Jason Wu
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
HAS POCKETS
I really like this and would buy it if it wasn't hand wash. Comfortable, cute, and has pockets. Runs on the larger side. Would size down if I rent it again. Sleeves were quite long.
Camo Camp Cardigan
Sanctuary
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Fancy AF
It was way fancier in person than I expected. Considered sending it back for being "too fancy for work," but I decided to wear it. Received many compliments. Figure flattering for hourglass. It's one of those dresses that everyone else seems to like on you even more than you do. It felt like $500, but in the "this is kind of scratchy/stuffy and I'll take it off as soon as I get home" way. Worth trying though!
Button Front Noelle Dress
CATHERINE DEANE
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Perfect work dress in hot weather!
I love this dress and haven't brought myself to return it yet, even though I've only worn it once so far. It fit perfectly and it's one of the only dresses I've rented that I would recommend to someone with a larger bra size - chest area was roomy. I'd give it 5 stars, but I think the fabric has a high chance of pilling in the lower back area because it feels like it's starting to do that. It was really comfortable - wore it to work on a day that it was 100 ° F and I still felt cool outside in it. Received a lot of compliments and even got a coworker to sign up for RTR.
Clara Wrap Front Dress
B Collection by Bobeau
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Probably best fit for pear shape
I received compliments throughout the day in the dress (even more when I switched from heels to flats). However, I felt like the Incredible Hulk and I doubt my 3 lb SoulCycle weights are bulking me up. I'm typically a comfortable size 14 fit and this dress was really tight on the upper arms and chest. I'm an hourglass, so I assume this dress would be better on pear shapes. At 5'4", the length was an appropriate short for work (on a hot day) without leggings. Would consider renting again if my body type changed.
Floral Pollock Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Hunchback of ALC
This has the potential to be cute. I fit size 14 of other ALC dresses perfectly. However, the fabric on the back, above my bra line, bunches up on this dress and I couldn't wear it because I looked like a misshapen turtle, like the hunchback of RTR. Honestly, no idea what body type this would fit. I'm an hourglass. Even if my bra size was bigger, that wouldn't have evened out the fabric in the back. Too bad, cute print. It's also quite short and I'm only 5'4.
Trixie Dress
A.L.C.
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
I thought I'd have to cut myself out of this
There's NO way this was a size 14. I've been renting 5 slots for over a month, mostly dresses, all size 14. This is the ONLY dress that has not fit me, and I've worn other Jason Wu dresses! I literally thought I'd have to cut myself out of the dress. Now I understand why people get married. SIZE way UP. Loved the material. Wish I could've worn it.
Black Jungle Flower Dress

Would have been 5 stars if it didn't wrinkle
I loved this print, material (100% silk), and the dress overall. I will likely rent this again. I wore it with a belt because it looked better that way in the morning and I received a lot of compliments in the morning. The print looked a bit Versace and the material made me feel expensive. The compliments started to die down later on when the fabric started to crease around the belt and from sitting at the office. It's 2019 - I just don't understand why we can have self-lacing shoes, but not make clothes that don't wrinkle? Like, yes, it's 100% silk, but if my $25 sale Gap Softspun dress doesn't wrinkle, I frankly expect more from a $500 Tory Burch. Other than the wrinkling, I absolutely loved it.
Constellation Shirtdress
Tory Burch

I felt like Miss Frizzle
I got nonstop compliments in this dress, but I felt like Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus. It was really tight in the rib area and the polyester fabric felt cheap, especially after wearing a silk Tory Burch the day before. Fabric was heavier than expected. Wasn't a favorite of mine, even though it seemed to be a favorite rental for people who saw me in it. Crazy how a dress can be $300 and 100% polyester, ha.
The Renee Dress
Fame & Partners
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"

Silk feels expensive :)
Fit perfectly! The silk material is lightweight, relatively wrinkle-free, and feels expensive. Would be easy to pack for a vacation. 100% planning to rent this dress again.
Soiree Pleated Shirtdress

Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14

Flattering hourglass fit, Victorian skater dress
Other reviews were right - the waist sits low. Attention getting. Flattering, though would tailor slightly if I owned it. Would rent again. Lightweight. Would be easy to pack on a vacation.
Long Sleeve Vivianna Dress
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Couldn't breathe, but it was cute.
Rented my usual size and it was a bit too snug on the ribs/arms. Will size up next time I rent a Draper James dress. Would recommend getting in more than 1 size. Very cute dress and I liked how it looked, otherwise I would not have ventured to work in something I knew I couldn't breathe at full capacity in.
Floral Bell Sleeve Dress
Draper James
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Larger than usual Draper James
I had sized up with this jacket after renting a size 14 Draper James dress that I could barely breathe in. XXL was way too big to wear. Sent back immediately. Honestly, probably would size down to a Large if I try to rent this jacket again. Boxy shape.
Solid Pocket Utility Jacket
Draper James
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Unique print, saw it worn on Netflix
I saw this dress worn by a character on Lucifer Season 4 on Netflix and thought it looked cool. It was comfortable, and the color combo is unusual in a positive way - would work in any season. The fit was nothing extraordinary and it was kind of loose below the chest. You'd have no need for Spanx in this dress, which is why I wish it had pockets - no reason for it not to have pockets.
Plum Abbi Dress
Lauren Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Sexy Print, Flattering, Silky Fabric
Wore more than once & would rent again. Would buy if it cost less. For an XL, the fit was a bit snug, but it fit me well.
Reptile Slim Signature Shirt
Equipment

Usual Size: 14

Bought it. Such a good price!
Love the feel of the leather. Very soft. Definitely runs small, I'm usually a XL at most, never a XXL. Will need to get the sleeves brought in a bit. It was a really great price - purchased for under $200 with tax.
Max Classic Bubble Leather Jacket
VEDA
Size Worn: XXL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"

IT HAS POCKETS
Super comfortable and light. I would buy this if it cost less. Perfect for everyday or work. I was extra happy to discover the pockets. Flattering, runs slightly large, perfect for hourglass figure.
Zen Garden Floral Shirtdress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 38C
Perfect fit, fun
This fit way better than expected. Would buy it if it cost less. Would definitely rent again. Not a print I would typically be drawn to, but it grew on me and could work in any season. Smooth fabric. Dress felt shorter than it looked - felt exposed whenever I sat up because the fabric is light. I wore it with leggings to work and it was fine in a corporate environment, but I'm only 5'4. Would recommend for a gallery opening, museum event, or concert.
