Nice but not as pictured
I liked these overall, but they hit me at an ankle length (ok with boots, but looked funny with sneakers or flats). They are also a completely different wash than the photo shows (much lighter).

Banana… beware
Was looking forward to trying out a slightly funky, 70s style blazer. Unfortunately this is not the cream color shown - the fabric is a noticeable pastel yellow shade. That, combined with the pattern and that it is a bit large and shapeless… definite no-go.

Weird fit
The straps were cutting into my shoulders immediately - thought they were adjusted that way, but they were set as long as possible. Between that and the chest fabric only covering half of my chest....don't think this works outside of shorter, small-chested people. One other note is the middle part is just one big tube of fabric without any shape or waist seaming, which didn't seem flattering to me.

Cropped, uneven hem... really tight in arms
Couldn't wear. Knew it was cropped - it wasn't overly cropped but just not my style. Arms were very tight, especially since I already went up a size to hope that made it less cropped. The bottom hem also wasn't even all around -- and this seemed more like a flaw than an intentional design choice.

Poofy
Shoulders and upper sleeves cut loosely so it looks pretty big. Could size down but otherwise like the style.

This is a jacket
This would be an ok jacket. The description mentioned partially lined, the back view photo lols sort of like a jacket. But was looking to rent a cardigan. This had a much more boxy fit since only the front half is knit. But probably a comfortable and warm fall jacket.

Huge
I wore the 36, which the sizing info says is the second smallest size. Definitely fits like a size 12 - I'm normally a 6. Only wore under a blazer. Very nice color and pattern and all but huge.

Too bright
Really liked cut and fabric, but the color is much brighter which really limits what you can wear them with. A much stronger funky 70s vibe than what I was going for. The photo looked more like a normal denim shade.

I missed that this was SHINY
Nice style but fabric was a no. Extra confusing because it's a preppy or conservative style, for work or daytime. And neither goes with SHINY.

Cute but missing belt
While photo doesnt show a belt, there are large obvious belt loops on the coat. But probably acquired defective and without it....

I knew it had metallic threads but every single bit of this sweater was sparkly. Yikes.

Not flattering, but not unflattering
Really rich color - surprised by it being a blouse fabric, was expecting a knit since it has a cardigan shape. Overall it was fine - loose, but in a forgiving way. The neckline was bizarrely low though - the top button is about 4-6" below the middle of the V, so hangs open awkwardly unless you pin it.

Loved so much
Loved the pattern - the colors only seem 'loud' or even noticeable close up. Otherwise looks like a bold stripe patterned blazer. Wore with navy pants, and camel colored shell and loafers. Wore closed - the fasteners dangle and thought it looked weird open. Sleeves were long enough also.

A bit tight to zip
Very stylish although the fur collar made it a bit 'loud' and less versatile / wearable. Between a 4 and 6, went with a 6 - i could fechnically zip it and it felt mostly comfortable but it made my chest look smashed and silly.

Cozy and surprisingly warm
Basically lived in this during a cabin weekend in the mountains - very comfortable and the buttons also dressed it up. Also held up as a jacket in 45-50 degree weather.

Nice looking but not flattering cut
Liked the style - fabric and detailing - but the fit was ultimately blah. It wasnt tailored to have any shape around the waist, but the fabric didnt fall in a flattering 'boxy' way like some other blazers do.
Volly Bi Blazer

Size Worn: NONE

Orange glitter
In person, it doesnt have the dimensions / quality in terms of colors and texture. Based on the photos and "brocade," I was expecrinf it to be subtly multi-colored w/ metallic thread. I wasn't expecting orange glitter on one dark navy fabric. Seems flat and basic. Returned immediately.
Brocade Bomber

So many compliments - wanted to buy!
Definitely made a statement based on shine and print - but paired well with basics. Wore a few times - typically with fashion sneakers, skinny jeans and a t-shirt. Fun rental, got a lot of attention.
Multicolor Bomber

Usual Size: 6

Loved the pattern, great statement piece
Wore under an open black blazer for work and then on its own for dinner with friends. The front diagonal 'slit' was a little odd, even in a non-work context. I wound up putting a few temporary stitches in it to give it a more traditional hem.
Indigo Collage Top

Great print, shape not for me
I didn't read the description well and was expecting a more substantial trouser-type fabric. These are a mesh-like material (but come lined). I liked them and wore them a few times but felt they weren't flattering on my waste. Maybe a thicker material tighter top like on the model would have helped define my waist more.
Tulle Karate Pant

Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 6

Would work on petite build
Cute but sleeves were a few inches short and (even with sizing up), it was tight across chest, arms and shoulders.
White Printed Crew Top
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Beautiful fabric, statement piece
Colors/pattern and fabric feel all very nice, sleeves are more of a statement piece than originally expected (because of big velvet ribbons). Sounds odd, but only complaint was that it felt tight on the neck - would rent again
Mash Up Floral Top
Mother of Pearl
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 4

Casual cool, but emphasises stomach
Loved everything about the style other than how the fabric wound up pulling tight against my waist. I think this would work on someone who can pull off a drop waist.

unique and surprising wearable
Loved! Went up a size based on comments on fit in shoulders - fit well, but may overwhelm someone shorter. Wore a few times over skinny jeans and a V-neck t-shirt with ankle boots.
Strata Suit Jacket
Helmut Lang
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

See-through
Purposely sized up in hopes it'd be worn appropriate - Loved print, but sleeves were too short in general and length still not work appropriate. Mainly - dress was see through (leg outline) and, confusingly, came with pointless, totally see through black slip (lingerie-style)
Scribble Printed Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Expected boxy fit, but just not flattering
Combo of sleeves being a little short on me and the width of body made it not flattering. Would have probably kept but was also not as warm as needed for weather and was returning another item anyway - Returned without wearing.
Black Faux Fur Leather Jacket
Endless Rose
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4

Too short for work, otherwise cute!
Wished this would have worked - loved print, fabric and cut. Ultimately, shows several inches of thigh, and wouldn't have worked for work (even w tights / boots). Also, slightly shorter in front and flare shape emphasized this. Didn't have an event coming up to wear this to l, so I returned.

Nice coat - good for non-freezing temps. Collar was a little disappointing in terms of quality, but removable.

Was sent the wrong size but wound up needing it - runs small
Usually a 4, sometimes six depending on fabric and closure method. Saw this ran small, ordered 6 but was sent an 8. Wound up fitting well - the sleeves were pretty tight. Cut for pear shape - room in waist and hips, which wound up enhancing / exaggerating hourglass shape.
Prairie Floral Fitted Dress
Cynthia Rowley
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Really liked, but definitely peach-hued
Lightweight fabric, good quality. Fits loose but still flattering. But definitely a 'French vanilla' colour (pinkish-peach ivory). Really limits what you can wear it with.
Black and White Print Blazer

Didn't fit right
Was really excited when I opened it, as the colors / pattern looked much more interesting in person - photo looked tan and black, but several other colors worked in. Did find the button material odd - like firm fabric, and bendable. Sleeves were definitely too short. Buttoned tight across chest and looked frumpy undone.
Dani Jacket

Usual Size: 4

Loved!
Leather felt great and distressed finish was subtle. Shearling collar is removable but kept it on to make it a statement jacket. For my height and chest size, the sleeves were slightly short and it felt right across the chest when fully buttoned - but just passed on both counts!

Pretty, but stone color misleading
Very pretty and well made. The necklace does say 'ash' but the RTR photo looks black, which is what I was expecting. The color is more of a mushroom / taupe color.
Gold Ash Stone Necklace
Alexis Bittar
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 34D
Surprisingly wearable, for a non "ruffle" gal
Pattern was very beautiful in person and fabric lightweight. The tie belt could be worn at natural waist or empire style, which gave it a totally different look (and I'd imagine it'd be 'bump-friendly'). Front fell a few inches above knee - right amount of leg for the style. Fun, but in a feminine way.
Red Feather Tilly Ruffle Dress
SALONI
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Much more flattering than expected
I hesitated to rent this as the design and fabric looked like it would be boxy and unflattering. The fabric is lighter than expected but still high quality, so it hung on the body nicer than expected. The pattern also has some sky blue in it, versus the black/white/gray I thought - but this actually makes the pattern prettier in person. Sleeve cuffs have elastic, which was great functional touch. Wound up putting a stitch in the neck to bring it up an inch - but otherwise perfect!

Great statement necklace
Got this to wear to work and was able to change things up by first wearing it over a crew neck shirt where it had the full collar look. Wore a few more times peeking out from v-necks and button-down blouses. When partially shown, the few crystals were hidden which further makes impassable as casual.
Silver Sea Swirl Pearl Necklace
Oscar de la Renta
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
Good choice for everyday
Really pleased by design and quality of the bag - I'd categorize it as a large purse, as it is on the smaller side for a tote. Used it as everyday bag during vacation - if overstuffed, looks lumpy but otherwise worked well.
Hashmark Embossed Leather Hobo
Loeffler Randall
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"

Understated but unique.
Wore for work - hit almost at bottom of knee so partial kneecap a little awkward. Good quality and flattering, but could see hips and rear borderline tight for some, depending on body type and occasion (may want to size up). On me, it was safe but pushing hip tightness for work - black color and thicker fabric helps w that, though.
Black French Collar Sheath
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 34D
As expected, oversized but stylish and warm - but still smelled like previous wearer's perfume.
Wore this twice - a group dinner at a slightly upscale restaurant and again as an everyday piece. Even w the looser fit (which wasn't a surprise) and gray not being my best color - I really liked the piece. Similar to the ivory Elizabeth and James blazer, I felt like this takes thought to coordinate into outfit. Tight long sleeved shirt in a pale neutral was where I wound up. A dark colored or loose fitting sleeve emphasizes the large fit, I felt. Pale and fitted kept it sleek. Otherwise, versatile w different jean colors and heel types!

Versatile design, can dress up or down
Fits true to size - obviously flowy fit but won't look like you're drowning in fabric. Soft fabric, loved the back detail. Wore to dinner with my boyfriend's mom and then under a blazer for work. As noted, under layer handkerchief winds up pretty long - I put in two tiny stitches so it would be a horizontal hem (and removed when done).
