I loved everything but the sleeves, which kept rolling up. Comfortable, bright colors, fun print, great neckline, perfect length. I received many compliments.

I liked this sweater but I didn’t love it, because I kept having to tug it down. I've worn other Terez clothing, and I just wore the next size up, but this one I didn’t. Lovely, rich colors that made people happy to see.

Unflattering
I love plaids, so I thought I would love this jumper, but no. I couldn’t get it off fast enough. I didn't like the material; the block plaid looked like I was wearing a square bustier; the straps wouldn't stay up. Just a mismatch of sizing and print.

This blouse looked great tucked in with slacks, untucked with lavender jeans with a turtleneck underneath, with a skirt. It was versatile, vibrant, and garnered lots of compliments wherever and however I wore it.

This style just wasn't for me. The shoulders were the right width, sleeves and bodice a god length, but it just clung to me in an uncomfortable way.

This was a very comfortable, soft fit. The dress was not heavy, yet it kept me warm on those cool 45° - 60° windy days. Leggings or long socks, this sweater dress was a hit.

Uncomfortably Small and Cloying
I wear a continuous glucose monitor, and when ordering tight knits, I tend to order up in size, so that my pump, CGM, and undergarments aren’t discernible and visible through the fabric. With this order, I thought I made a mistake, as everything was discernible—my bra straps, my underwear, and my devices looked like strange growths. No, I hadn’t made a mistake and neither had RTR. I ordered a large; they sent a large. Being short, I have to roll my sleeves 99% of the time. This sleeve, in a size large, was the perfect length. To say I was dumbfounded at the uncomfortable, cloying fit of this dress is an understatement. I’m going to quit trying Thakoon, because their models must weigh in the 90s for an XS and SM, low 100s for a medium, and upper 100s for a large. Regardless, this is another poor-fitting, too-small outfit from this designer.

Flattering Dress Up or Down Jeans
The fit was good. At 5'2" with short legs, these were not quite ankle jeans for me but more a high-water pant. Without socks, the hen scrapped my achilles, so I ended up buying some cute socks while we were out and that solved the problem. Fun, and could dress up or make more casual easily. Not a keeper but a good rental .

This is one of those pieces that looks so much better on than in pictures. I paired this sweater with light blue denim wide leg jeans, and a turtleneck, and the e sweater popped. Outside temps were in the low 30s, and I was comfortable. I wore with turtlenecks, crewnecks, and once a tank top, and all styles looked great.

Swing Dress with a Great Pop of Color
I absolutely loved this comfortable dress—wore it for my birthday lunch and outing—and received many compliments. The back tie adds even more personality. I rented a medium, and I weigh 109. I cannot imagine wearing a size smaller due to the neck. I wear turtlenecks, so having a things around my neck does not bother me, but the hook-eye closure is not designed as a loose fit.

I enjoyed the linen vest—stylish on these muggy days. It is a little snug, short, and a deep vee, so I wore high waisted pants and a tube top underneath.

Got to cut the tags off this new dress. Love the heavier knit and thicker ribbing, especially when indoors in the summer and businesses crank down the A/C to an uncomfortable temperature. The denim box plate and collar are a fun detail.

Stretchy Fabric
Wanted to like this one, but the dependency upon the stretch in the fabric and the too small top just made this dress uncomfortable. I am a 34B, actually weigh 108, ordered a size 6, and the bust was too tight. I tried wearing a white tube top and leaving the top unbuttoned, but then the skirt was not flattering. I did not end up wearing this dress, though I tried.

Just Pretty & Fun
I loved this fully lined, elegant, and fun brocade dress. Wore this to church on Mother's Day because Lady Mother loves red, and to a college graduation. It's not perfect, because the arm holes are deep, but I wore a bustier bra with it, and so I felt comfortable enough. Had the arm holes fit better, I would have bought this dress. The back bow tie was my favorite detail.

Fun Summer Dress
Wore this to a graduation Convocation and a friend's retirement party, and received so many compliments. Very comfortable, elastic is perfect--neither too tight nor too loose. Shoulder straps stay up but don't dig into the shoulders, and a nice, mid-calf link. Wore both dress shoes and tennis shoes with the dress, and both styles paired well.

Great Vacation Pants
I received many compliments on these pants. They felt great, and fit this short girl perfectly, especially with the drawstring at the ankles. I wore these on vacation to Tulum, Mexico, and several ladies stopped me to admire the hand embroidery needlework on the pants. These pants are fully lined in white, so the cutwork design really shows nicely. They paired well with two tops I also rented. Almost kept these!

Wanted to Love
Thicker, stretch cotton has a perfect length, but the V-neck cut is too low, and this is a better fit for bustier ladies. I wore this on vacation to Tulum, Mexico, so it was a perfect design for travel and exploring, but I'm just too little in the chest to pull this design off. Wore a tanktop underneath, and off we went.

This sweater kept me warm and covered in these crazy March windy days. It is a little itchy hy, but nothing annoying that would ruin the day. I did wear this sweater twice, so it wasn't off-putting, but every-once-in-a-while, I needed to scratch. Kept me warm and stylish.

True to size and perfect for us short girls, I liked these pants. They were a little itchy, but nothing that was too bothersome or unbearable. Cute, cropped style that complimente many tops and sweaters. There was one detail that annoyed me, and it was the top button. I think it was sewn too faroutside the line of h th e other buttons, because it mmade the waistline sit funny.

Rich Purple
Purple’s my favorite color, and I thought I would love this well-fitting skirt, but I didn’t, and I don’t know why. It’s has a double zipper running the entire height of the skirt, so anyone can have a comfortable walk. I just didn’t love it, and I feel badly about that.

Tiny Waist & Boxy Hips
This high waist was just a tad too tight with no give at all, more like a size 2, and even though I am pear-shaped, the hips and thighs had enough material to be a size 10. The material is a fabulously rich tartan, especially with the subtle, baby blue stripe that really makes a baby blue top the perfect pairing.

Flirty Fun
Picked my brother up from the airport wearing this skirt with an orange shirt and navy sweater vest, and so many guys and girls complimented how bright and cheerful my ensemble was. Then, I kind of spun, and the skirt twirled. A guy came up to my brother and said he was a lucky fellow. My brother let him know he agreed and we’ve been great siblings. People just like seeing happy clothes; it makes them smile and feel good. This skirt is just vibrantly fun.

Pretty but Scratchy Neck
I’ve rented several and bought a few turtleneck dresses from RTR, and this is the first one that has been scratchy. I wanted to love this and buy it, but I clawed my neck and chest all day long. It’s a pretty shape and a gorgeous green, and I received many compliments all day, but I just can’t keep this one.

Waist or Hips
I read several reviews and decided to give this skirt a try. It seems renters have to choose a fit for the hips or a fit for the waist but not both. I had a great fit in the waist, a rarity for me, but the skirt was too tight in the hips. Lots of stretch, so there was give, but I just don’t like skirts & dresses that fit so tight in the hips that it looks as if I have an early baby bump. Nice denim, flair skirt, nice kick room.

A little heavier weight for the cooler temperatures, I received many compliments. When I rented the dress, I hadn’t realized the stripe was green; I loved that and the bell sleeves made the dress just fun. Paired it with patterned stockings and black patent Go-Go boots. Received many compliments from friends and strangers.

Great Bodice
I wanted to love this sweater, but its design prevented that. I know I’m short, but the sleeves are entirely too long. The neck, regardless how I wore it, never fit correctly; it always slouched and bunched at the throat. I lived the bodice, as it fit perfectly, and the pale colors are great for winter.

Classy Jumpsuit
If you're short, this jumpsuit's for you. The sleeves and legs fit perfectly; if it's supposed to be ankle length, it wasn't. Went great with my boots and fell at the top of the heel, which I loved. My cousin could not get over it, and ordered this outfit from an on-line retailer while we were having a family lunch. At the mall, picking up some orders, the lady who worked at Banana Republic came across to the Warby Parker store where I was to compliment my outfit, which I thought ch t was very nice. Then, two other customers said they loved it but didn't want to seem rude, so they kept quiet until the Banana Republic lady said something. I went in to the Williams-Sonoma store, where a gentleman customer complimented the outfit, which I had put on the vest I bought from RTR last year, because it was a little chilly. The first time I wore it, I paired it with a suede duster which was well-complimented by strangers at a restaurant. This was a really fun outfit!

Colorfully Funky
I thought I would love this top, but I only liked it. I can't really explain definitively why, but I think it has to do with how I paired it. My light-colored jeans did not flatter the top at all, so I wore black pants; however my pants' color was different from the shirt's black, so it wasn't the best. Had it been mid-to-late spring, my lavender linen pants would have been perfect! That was a fun outfit, but how I wore it was not as fun. I feel had I ordered the coordinating pants and my black patent go-go boots would have been a better option; sadly, I only rented the top.
