Size up!
I loved the stretch to this dress and the kick in the back was adorable. I usually wear an 8 and felt like a plaid sausage in that size. The only other available was a 12, and it still fit like a glove, so don't be afraid to size up!

Plaid Godet Dress

Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"

Unexpectedly lovely drape, but the wool material isn't for the wimpy
What you can't see in the photo is that the construction is lovely and all leads to a flattering neckline. I have to say though that it is wool in a major way, so it's warm, and if your skin is at all sensitive it will scratch. I was sad that I couldn't wear it for more than five minutes before I had to go with something softer. Totally me, however, and not the dress, which was gorgeous and forgiving and flattering on a woman with a lock-down figure.

Elegant, lovely color, and lightweight
It is all the above things I mentioned and a nice coat to throw on over a streamlined outfit on a cool but not cold day. It's not heavy by any means, and more a compliment to an outfit rather than to add warmth. It doesn't have a lot of structure which is good or bad depending on what you want to wear it with, so just be aware of that.

Gorgeous and flattering
This was unexpectedly amazing. It skimmed the body and arms in a flattering way. The print manages to be both feminine and edgy in that it is occasionally accented with animal print. Plus, it looked great on the screen during online teaching sessions. I wish I could buy it! I'd wear it everyday!

Who knew it's fabulous???
I rented this thinking I was taking a chance on it being a bit too bold, and sized down after reading the reviews. I was so pleasantly surprised! It was amazing! It was comfy, it looked great over Zoom meetings, and it was warm without being stifling since it was a bit swingy and oversized. As far as being too bold, it wasn't at all when paired with simple denim and boots. Yes, size down, but seriously, try it! It's much better than it appears in the photo RTR has.

One of my favorite rentals of all time and space
So so cute and unique! A fun vintage inspired tiki pattern and light, airy material. Flattering on a rectangle shape that's difficult to make look feminine. They are long, though, so if you're on the shorter end prepare some platform shoes. Would be perfect for a bbq or picnic!

Flattering and breezy
This was unexpectedly flattering for a lady who usually looks like a cinderblock! It's cotton and flowy and I loved it so much I bought it. A great summer option! (Apologies for the messy sides of the photo.)

Odd how it looked like a tent on the hanger but hung beautifully. The color and cut around the neck and shoulders looked fabulous on Zoom sessions but left me comfy on the bottom. I emptied out my bank account and bought it.
Pop Petunia Mixed Print Dress

Beautiful! But on the smaller side.
This was like wearing a lovely jewel, it was so pretty! I really enjoyed carrying it, but was unable to fit everything inside comfortably. My wallet, phone, and keys were pushing it. Add a lip gloss and it was barely able to latch. So if you're a minimalist, this will work, and if I can figure out how to slim down my basics I will rent it again in a heartbeat.

Funky fun unique top
I loved the vibe of this shirt, which I can only describe as country meets funk meets high fashion. It's a bit big and flowy if you're petite but the slightly transparent nature makes it okay. The ruched arms and shoulders are awesome.

Comfortable and versatile
I'm on the short side and was worried about the length, but it was good, and the elasticized waist gave the illusion of a figure. I appreciated that I could wear it with flats for a casual work look, heels or suede boots to dress it up, and an edgy jacket and chunky boots for a third option. I'll revisit it again in the summer for sure!

Comfortable and easy
If you have a slip under its a great casual dress that you can bop around in. Cool for the summer, good with tights for the autumn. It was pretty flattering, even on my cinderblock figure!

Tight on top, large on the bottom. Not for straight or athletic builds.
This was perfect for my pretty standard 8 top, but the hips were way large. I'm talking an extra inch on either side. So this may be the piece for you if you're more a curvy on the bottom or a pear. HOWEVER, the print and color was gorgeous and I was sad to have to return it unworn.

Not for the short and stout
A lovely autumn color, but I would need to be at least a foot taller to pull off the amount of material and lack of shape. I think this is for willowy ladies, only.

Elegant and comfortable enough for everyday
I was worried it would be too long for a shorter gal, but with a pair of booties it was perfect. It's surprisingly slimming and gives you a bit of a waist, even if you don't have one. I felt very chic in this and got loads of compliments. If you add a hat you can morph into a maxi dress wearing hipster, but edgy jewelry and more substantial boots can make it more gritty. It can change again into weekend wear if you add sneakers and denim. I teamed it with a black suede jacket and wore it to work. Wish I could buy it since it is so diverse! I absolutely loved it!

Lovely material with a beautiful drape
This runs large. Perhaps it's on purpose but it's even larger than what one would expect for an oversized, flowing blouse. That being said, it's lovely, silky material and is cut well. I'd absolutely rent it again in a smaller size.

Fits nicely, a good conservative option
I liked how the cut and print made me look like I had a waist, but the high cut and length made it oddly conservative for such an interesting pattern. The right boots and edgy jewelry may help add interest if you're more fashion-forward. It was also a bit scratchy on the outside, so keep that in mind if your skin is sensitive.

Shapeless perfection
This was flowy, tent-like but amazing in that it somehow managed to flow in toward my curves. For the hottest part of the year where temps went over 100 this was PERFECT, like wearing a fancy, pretty breeze machine. When it got cooler I put a denim jacket on, and it became a flattering and fun evening out with the ladies dress. Wish I could buy it for next summer!

I have no figure and this STILL flattered!
Cool and breezy and managed to flatter a girl built like a brick since it skimmed my body and went in at the right places. The print was bright and cheerful and I got lots of compliments. Wish I could buy it!

Nice style, just a tad too long
This actually had a great, slightly edgy look and fit really well through the higher waist and thigh. I have short legs, however, so the kick didn't happen until too late and they didn't flatter. Just looked like tree trunk legs. If I owned them I would hem them and then they'd be awesome. Log legged ladies only!

ADORABLE!!! And holds a lot more than expected.
This is such the cutest bag! I noticed envious looks wherever I went. The stiff canvas helps make it easy to get a lot of things in it. At one point I had a laptop, charger, two binders, a wallet and two other small bags filled with various items all inside it and had room for a small water bottle. The enforced straps make it comfortable to keep on your shoulder. I love it and wish I could keep it!
