Sparkly, hard to style
Struggled to style this because it's so oversized and sparkly, yet gives off casual. Others paired it with black pants but I found that to be overwhelming and hard to match black tones. I went with a lighter wash ankle jean and black Mary Jane's. Got lots of compliments (although everyone said they loved my "jacket"... even though it is a shirt!). But it is huge

Fun sweater, 90s vibe. Itchy so definitely needs a shirt underneath.

Just okay
I thought this would have more shape based on the pictures/model but it was just a very oversized, shapeless jacket. Warmer than I was expecting though!

pretty pattern, runs small in hips
I rented my true size (12) and I can't wear it as low as the model is wearing because the hips are so tight. I wore it as a high waisted skirt, which is fine, but not the look I was going for. I would recommend sizing up, although it doesn't come in any larger sizes than 12 so midsize women may be out of luck.

Flattering shirt dress that actually works for larger bust!
Typically I have to avoid button downs because of the dreaded button gap but this dress works great with my larger bust. I am between L/XL and I ordered an XL for this. Glad I did. It fit perfectly and is so chic - perfect business casual outfit with neutral heels (didn't look great with flats).

Fun twist on a cardigan
I'm between a size L and XL, and I ordered the XL - glad I did. It doesn't particularly run small, but there would've been some pull on the buttons if I had gone with a L. Soft cardigan, fun pattern, while still neutral and professional.

Great everyday coat
The coat is lighter fabric than I initially thought from the photos, but I'm perfectly comfortable in 40-50 degree weather with a sweater and wearing this coat over it. I rented my true size, and it could comfortably fit a sweater underneath. Highly recommend this coat for a pulled together, slightly preppy look!

cute dress, just needs to be steamed
very cute dress and lots of compliments but it needs to be steamed before wearing, and even once you do that, it still appears wrinkled

Runs small, not flattering, buttons are hard to button
I wanted to love this, but it hugged all the wrong curves. I sized up because I was afraid it would be too short, little did I know that it would barely fit my chest, stomach, and hips. I did manage to button it all the way (although the buttons did not button easily - it took a good while) but it wasn't comfortable or flattering. This was not meant for someone hourglass shaped. Its meant for someone with straight hips and smaller chest. The length was actually fine in the front, and although it felt a little short in the back, covered everything. Ultimately couldn't wear.

Great fit for every day wear.
I love Madewell clothes and these jeans don't disappoint. I found that they ran true to size, maybe a little tight at first when sitting down (as are most high-waisted jeans) but after the first 10 min sitting they felt completely comfortable. Debating keeping these... Jeans are usually jeans and don't stand out, but I got compliments on these!

Very comfortable jeans - just a bit saggy in the bum!
These were really comfortable for moving around in the kitchen (virtual cooking class!) and although they felt like the right fit around my waist, they kept sagging around my butt so I had to pull up frequently. Pants fit perfectly everywhere else, just loose enough that you could tuck a shirt into them if that's the style you're going for.

Way too small, even when sized up.
I ordered an XL (I'm usually a L) but couldn't get it buttoned around my chest, and it looked shorter than in the picture. Also not shown in RTR's picture is just how low V-Cut it is. Can't wear with a bra (pasties or sticky cups only). Was unable to wear, and had rented it for Valentines day. Bummer! Would not recommend.

Cute, work appropriate, flattering
Usually I'm nervous about button ups with my bust size, but no buttons popped and I didn't get any weird openings between the buttons. I found this very flattering and comfortable. My boyfriend even complimented it and he never notices clothes!

I couldn't wear this dress. Side cut way too low.
The top was too large, but even a smaller size wouldn't have helped. They don't show in the pictures that the side is cut almost down to the waist and it was so loose that it caused MAJOR side boob... and not even the cute kind. The pictures are very misleading.

Flattering dress but buttons are loose!
I got a lot of compliments on the dress, but I also had at least 3 people (friends and kind strangers) point out that buttons were undone. Pretty much any sit/stand movement would cause a button to come undone - thank god I wore spanx that day! A few wardrobe malfunctions in the pelvic area... All that being said, it was a light fabric, good for a hot day, and very flattering on me. Love handles are my problem area and it smoothed those right over.

Great sundress!
I wore this for a derby and then rented again for a graduation. It was a fun and flattering dress. Usually my problem areas are around my hips and bust but the 10 fit perfectly. The fabric is flattering and doesn't cling too close.

The perfect fit!
I loved this dress - by far my favorite dress rented! If I could buy it, I would. Hits in all the right places. Is long enough that it keeps it classy, never rode up like tight dresses tend to do. Perfect amount of cleavage. No complaints!
