Rent this!! Many compliments and super comfy!
I would absolutely rent this dress again! It is so comfortable and the perfect medium wait for cooler temperatures. The A-line fit makes it very comfortable. I wore with leggings due to it being a little too short for the workplace but could get away without for evenings. Definitely rent this… As soon as I'm willing to give it up.

Windowpane Lena Dress
Waverly Grey
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 130lbs
Unique, Eye-Catching, perfect for the holidays!
This dress did not disappoint (except for the fit - for me)! The detail is rich, the fabric is thick and more of a felted finish. The top black portion has some slight red underlay to it. The interior banding would keep this up all night. My only problem was that it ran small, not true to size - unless you are a size 6 and straight through the hips, then it would work. I would need to size up for my curves. Sad to not be able to wear this one!

Perfect A-line shift - and the color is amazing!
While I don't have a photo so share I felt compelled to comment on the design/fit. It's a loose fitting A-line - so if renters expected a sheath, I understand why they though ti fit weird. I loved the fit - loose enough but had structure at the shoulder to look tailored. The material is a textured crepe - lightweight enough but has the cutest lace bottom trim lining that was unexpected. The dress arrived too late for my event but I would definitely rent again!

Orange Splash Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"

Adorable fit - but requires a second layer/slip!
I was really looking forward to wearing this dress but had to return it as it would NOT be appropriate to wear to work given how see through it is - even if I wore a slip below. Through the front and back layer of fabric, you can still see the bananas on my counter in the photo. Great fit, 4" above knee (and I'm 5'4"). Plan accordingly!

Fun option for a casual party - or dress it up
Sticking with the cold shoulder trend, I rented this top (with Unlimited) for a party. It was just as I pictured it and was able to wear a regular bra with it. The sides slit higher up - so I ended up wearing a came too (but straps were concealed. Like other posts, I also had to fuss with the should edges flipping up - but it didn't ruin my night. Classy, stylish - would rent again.

Silk Cutout Shoulder Tunic
Tibi
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6

Great alternative to the "cold shoulder"...
I really loved this top and wanted it to work but the one sent arrived to me with a small hole in the lace. The fit (for other renters) runs relatively true to size, slim through the body, but surprisingly wider through the upper lace area. Great for broader shouldered, straight cut women in my opinion. Hoping they have another in the same size I could rent!

Blue Striped Poplin Top
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"

Obsessed with blush! (And this top...)
The fabric has a beautiful crap and very soft, the lace up detail can be adjusted to your discretion. So beautiful! Wore with jeans and high heeled booties... Runs true to size but I'd suggest sizing up if you are broad through the shoulders.

Pale Orchid Ruffle Top
L'Academie
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Runs slim but a perfect "onesie" for many occasions!
I was excited to receive this based on the glowing reviews...but sad to find that the fit was smaller than anticipated. Not an ideal cut for a "curvy" gal. Otherwise this is a gem!! Runs smaller through thigh & butt than a standard size 6. Top fits.

Bermuda Jumpsuit
Trina Turk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6

Beautiful, effortless...but runs large!
I usually wear a size 4 or 6 dress. Thinking with this drapery dress a small would work. Honestly it was too roomy and I plan to exchange for an XS. It arrived new with tags...gorgeous fabric and color! Deep V neckline as shown.

Rose Floral Cold Shoulder Dress
Dina Agam

So much volume!
I rented this top for vacation and realized it was so voluminous it almost swallowed me up! It was very cute at the shoulders however the body was just too much drape for my preference.

Printed Maison Top
MLM Label
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"

Interesting pockets - not expected....
I rented this for everyday to wear with jeans, etc. I was surprised to see the front pockets were like "flaps" with the satin "inside" pocket visible on the outside - and it is pink! It makes for an odd design - but still interesting for a single wear. Not sure I will rent again but fit is great. mid-weight wool vest - not suitable for Spring.

Lily Vest
Waverly Grey
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6

Warm enough as a coat, runs large
This sweater coat was a fun rental. I was able to wear it all day with a lightweight turtleneck underneath. Long sleeves and high neck were a must as the wool can be a bit prickly. The small was unavailable but so glad I had the XS. Fit perfectly - I would have been swimming in any other size.

Comfy knit jacket - but slightly frumpy cut. Order to "fit"
I should have ordered the small, not medium, then I would have been happier with the fit. I felt like "mom" in this jacket when paired with all black underneath. Would be cutest over a flirty dress.

Pattyn Jacket
Joie

Perfect "out to nice dinner" dress
I didn't end up wearing it solely on the fact that I didn't have an occasion for it - but will definitely rent it again!! The center back cut out sits higher than the photo makes it appear. The dress is straight cut - so not form fitting - and can hide all kinds of flaws. The crepe material is great quality and has some weight to it. Sleeve length for me was fine (even though others noted it to be too long). Rent this! So perfect....pair with killer jewelry....and shoes.

Classic with a ruffly twist
Overall I love this sweater. Comfortable and lightweight, not itchy. Detailed and classy. The sleeve and center front panel are slightly more mesh-like but still modest (even without a cami). The size I thought ran slightly small and will rent in a larger size next time but it wasn't a problem.

Lovely, just heavy....
Of course I read other reviews before renting - but these earrings were just too heavy for my (softer) ear lobes. I wouldn't have been able to wear them longer than an hour if I did so unfortunately I returned them without wear. Beautiful quality and detail...

Gela Earrings
A Peace Treaty
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 4"

So easy to wear!
Overall for a size small the fit was still quite roomy. The full length of the arm on the under side is made of a knit material, allowing plenty of give to move. The fit was boxier than expected. The color was not as rich burgundy - but more of a grape-y maroon. In my opinion, that cheapened the look some. But overall -great addition to a wardrobe and not too warm to keep on all day at the office.

DVF Quality - I expected more....
For starters - as a wrap dress for my size 4/6 frame, the Size 6 was very small and left a lot to be exposed on the front. Size up! Secondly, after reading many reviews, I expected the jersey kit fabric to be thicker and the dress I received was nearly see through! Better for summer, definitely with a slip or shaper. Didn't end up wearing at all - but Customer Service was great to work with in replacing this for me quickly. (Thanks RTR!)

Jeanne Two Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: None

Lightweight - perfect layer to pants or black sheath!
I was pleasantly surprised at how lightweight the tweed fabric was! If you are typically a small or have larger chest/arms, consider sizing up. This was very tight through the upper arm and across shoulder blades. Worn unzipped but fits if zipped (size 4/6 dress size). UPDATE - Second rental I tried the Medium due to size Small fit. The Medium had the same issues with fit across the back (not nearly as small through arms). I think this is the last time I will rent this even thought he weight of the material can go into Spring.

Classic Tweed Shift Jacket

Full of class with a bit of edge
Reading through reviews is very important when ordering Euro sizes. I ordered the 42 thinking that it would fit best. I would compare the 42 to a large size 6. There was room to spare but overall, very comfortable! The details make this dress! It was a heavier stretch woven wool/knot (black and blue mini pattern). It was perfect for Christmas Eve service.

As Classy and Fashionable (AND Comfortable) as it gets!!!
I have been eyeballing this one for months and decided it was a must have for a holiday Soiree. Based on other reviews I was concerned about fit running small - so I got a 6 and wanted a back up size 8 (not available). Taking a chance at the 6 as my only option, I completely lucked out. I would say this is very true to size. I typically wear a 4 or 6 in dresses and had room to spare (especially in the bust). Other commented that it was small in the bust. I thought the opposite! I would also recommend for taller women - (any shorter than me and proportions would be wrong). I had TONS of compliments all evening and felt so great wearing this for a sit down dinner all the way through dancing. My ONLY complaint is that for some reason the inner stretchy lining kept bunching at the bottom hem and the side zipper kept twisting to my back. Maybe it was my dancing? RENT THIS NOW!

Perfect fit! But issues with sequins....
Based on all the reviews saying this ran really large, I ordered the XS and the S. The small was perfect for me (I wear size 4 dresses typically). My issue was with the sequins that were bent or flipped (and would have taken hours to try to resolve). The XS was in perfect condition (to use as a reference). The top mesh I thought came down too low but could be that the hanger safety straps haven't been used to keep the mesh from stretching. The dress is too heavy to hang only by the mesh! If renters respected and cared for their rentals, this would have been perfect! I did NOT have time to exchange for something different - although RTR was kind to offer an exchange overnight!

I'll admit...I'm obsessed with RTR and this dress was perfect for a winter Holiday dinner!
I love feathers! So this dress caught my eye immediately. I read the reviews and agree that the sleeves were long (but not too long). They were a bit inconvenient at the dinner table. I rented the 4 and the 6. The 4 fit (actually perfectly if not slightly snug through the hips). The issue was the length. It was about 4" shorter than the size 6. Keeping it appropriate, I went with the 6. It was so comfortable! Can't wait to use RTR again! Pics I have are all too dark to see any detail :(
