Flowy summer linen floral
Fits large, so size down if between sizes. The slip is sewn in on one shoulder, so wonderful that it does not get lost, but can create an odd pucker at the shoulder.

Adore the simplicity and beauty of this dress.
Fits everywhere but the bust. Suggest sizing up one size to fit without pulling in the back.

Favorite style pant
The shape is the same as last spring’s ALC dahlia print pant. This print is less casual/edgy but still lots of fun. The 4 is the best fit for me in these…everywhere else the size 2 fits great, but the internal closure goes across my hip (there are two inside buttons, and a hook closure also) so the 4 is more comfortable when standing (when you sit, the paper bag high-waist pushes up and is fine).

Vacation vibe skirt
Lovely thick fabric with fun print. Slits were too high for my liking, but fashion tape easily fixed the issue. Not sliming, but also did not accentuate the tummy. No pockets (minus a star for me), but otherwise a fun spring or summer skirt!

Stylish untucked blouse
Fits roomy all over, perfect weight (not see through), short (but not cropped) blouse for work or play. Size 4 was a bit large, but expect the 2 would be too small for my taste (in the bust).

Nice casual bag
The "price tag" and Marni label had me really excited to borrow this bag, but it is not as luxe as others from RTR in this price range. Some wear, but very presentable. Held onto it for a week, and was just fine for everyday.

Nice medium size bag in cognac (not coral)
Useful size with great pockets that fits all the necessities. Closure is the best feature, secure, and only takes a moment to manage. Thought this would be more of a coral color, but is a true cognac.

Classic & conservative
This was a great dress for a church special event. The length on me (I'm almost 5'7") was to my mid-knee. I'm slightly curvy and the size 2 fit my B bust and hips and still held the shift silhouette. The lining makes it not see-through. And the floral asian type pattern is classic (and very 60s couture). With both navy and black (and other rich colors), it pairs with so much! I wore the dress with leggings and flats, but it is also beautiful with hose/tights (just decided it would be too uncomfortable for a 3 hour service for this mom of 2!). Will definitely get again!

Chose this in June and couldn't part with it until August!
Chose as part of my Unlimited subscription and kept it for two months, I loved it so much! Wore 4 times: to a birthday party, HS reunion, business event, and out to dinner. Beautiful cotton and belt gives this tent shape. The back is stunning!

Beautiful maxi with pockets
Adored this dress! It is in Rayon, but moves more like cotton (which I prefer). I was able to wear it without a bra by adjusting the straps in the back. Got tons of compliments. Was able to wear with just Birkenstocks, an added plus! And pockets, yay!! It was just a bit too sexy (the back) for everyday :)

beautiful culottes in dark navy
These are fantastic high-waisted culottes. Thick fabric with nice back zip and closure. Plenty of hip space, so choose for your waist size. Pairs really well with the green Milly cropped sweater.

beautiful statement coat for work
Runs very large, I'm between a 4 and 6 typically, and the 4 was still a bit boxy on me. The woven fabric is prone to pulls, so it looks a bit worn, but is still in very good condition. Presents well, I received lots of compliments.

A spectacularly classic bag that coordinates with everything. The lack of shoulder strap makes it hard for everyday use for me (with kiddos), but it was a joy to carry and is a stand-out piece. Lots of compliments.

pretty color and style - didn't like fibers
The sweater is pretty but the fibers are synthetic and do not have a soft feeling. It is a beautiful color and fit, so would recommend if the feel doesn't bother you!

Sweater arrived in great condition but was too scratchy!
This is a lovely design and flowy fit, but the sweater is not naturally soft (it is made of synthetic fibers that feel odd to my fingertips). If this doesn't bother you, it would be a great pick!

Very soft cropped sweater in gorgeous green
The sweater appears exactly as it is presented on the site in a vibrant deep green with the woven sections (having a bit of see-through, so wear a tank underneath if you like). It is super soft wool and exactly what I expect from Milly. I am a S in cardigans but M in pullovers due to my broadish shoulders and long arms and the M fit perfectly. It is also a true cropped sweater and pairs nicely with the high-wasted navy culottes shown. I wore with new-looking navy converse to make it more casual for the Sunday afternoon suburban party I attended - it was cutsy without being childish. It would easily dress up with heels for an evening event (like the RTR photo shows).

Rich colors and good (slightly large) fit
Beautiful coat that is a perfect statement piece for the cool weather. Each color panel on the coat has a deep charcoal color thread woven on the backside of the fabric, so the colors stand out (and don't washout us fair complected). The coat coordinates well with rich browns and black, and skinny denim (as shown). I am typically between a 4 and 6 and the 4 was plenty roomy enough, and I have long arms and the sleeve length was at my wrist. This was a back-up choice (what I wanted wasn't available in my size), and it surpassed my expectations! Will definitely rent again!

Comfortable shapeless flapper-nod dress
I loved this dress! It is a dark navy, very comfortable and hides the upper arms with style! My husband is not a fan of these flapper-style shapeless dresses, but likes me to be comfortable. It can be paired with leggings and boots too, perfect for autumn. Nice substitute for the LBD.

A gorgeous top, stand-out piece.
Thicker fabric than expecting, which made it wear very well (hides all imperfections). It ran a bit large and so the V was very low on me (and I have a long torso). Would try the XS next time. The top did show some wear - a few pulls in the fabric - but was otherwise perfect.

Soft leather bag with trendy finishes, but also very classic and works well with dresses and pants.
The bag was a bit worn - which is the reason for just 4 stars - having some nicks on the gold hardware and blue coloring at the corners on the bottom (I imagine due to the dark denim that is so popular). It is still in very good condition and quite presentable - and the pre-loved condition made me less nervous to use it and so I enjoyed it all week (rather than for just the event I imagined using it)!

Beautiful classic dress, in a gorgeous color. Worked for the semi-formal wedding I attended.
Fit was great, ran a bit on the large size. The hem line hung a bit odd, and the dress did show some wear (zipper toggle was not pristine, some impressions in the fabric), but was still beautiful! Highly recommend.
