10/10, obsessed
One of the cutest sets I've come across in ages -- people literally stopped me in the street to ask about it. The fabric is substantial but breathable and the skirt hits that perfect length of short but not too short. Certifiably obsessed.

Unbelievably flattering bell shape
With these types of slip skirts, I have pretty low expectations, but the bias cut of this particular skirt is unbelievably flattering. As other reviews have noted, the waistband leaves a good bit to be desired for the quality you'd expect from a skirt this expensive, but the tailoring more than makes up for its flaws.

I love dresses like this because they’re so easy to dress up without too much effort — this dress is no exception. Super flattering, and easy to style.

Super cute and warm, though worth noting it’s more on the cropped side so it has its limits. Def recommend!

Fun pattern, warm, though worth noting it is KNIT so will not be water resistant / will need a solid ski shell if you’re using for winter sports. Otherwise great!

Good not great
Honestly just think the tailoring of this didn’t make sense for my body type (long torso, more pear shaped). Still cute, still fit, but was not very comfortable!

Big yes to this dress
I love my Rachel Antonoff cupcake sweater/skort set, so I had big hopes for this dress. Definitely delivered, I’m obsessed. In terms of fit: overall big for the given size (which worked for me re: pear shape but size down if you’re unsure) and worth noting the arm holes are a little big so definitely make sure you’re wearing the right bra with it.

Super cute and surprisingly comfortable
This set was so fun for my birthday weekend! I admittedly should have gotten the large with my booty, but the skirt surprisingly still worked with the semi-stretchy material and the length being a little longer than expected for a mini skort. The material / shorts underneath made this piece way comfier than I expected, and for a girl with curvy hips, it was fun to rock a mini skirt sitch without feeling like I had to pull it down every two seconds lol.

Cute by itself and as the set
This top surprised me — the material is stretchier than expected but still felt quality. The cut outs down the front were fun without feeling too exposed (though I have a smaller chest, so can’t speak for bigger chested girlies). I paired this with jeans for nights out and with the matching skirt for a birthday winery visit — both looked fabulous!

One of my favorite rentals in a while
When I rented this dress I was admittedly a little concerned about the eyelet clasps down the front of the bodice being finicky/coming undone when wearing it. Happy to report they’re super secure and give the top of the dress some added structure that really makes the whole look. The denim material is heavier than expected but it makes the dress lay beautifully. Loved this piece so much, highly recommend!!

Cute and comfortable
All around a solid summer dress, though I found the elastic back would bunch up no matter how many times I adjusted it. Besides that, loved the overall shape of this dress — super flowy and flattering!

Eyed this from a mile away for my Dirty (Shirley) 30th birthday weekend. With cherries being the name of the game this DELIVERED. Hits your curves in all the right places, just be aware the material is fairly sheer for being such a dark color.

Absolutely obsessed with this top! It’s super comfortable but well-fitted thanks the faux corset/elastic back. Straps tend to fall off your shoulder every once in a while but the top stays in place.

Looove this dress — the fabric had some weight to it that made it lay so well. Super flattering, though the top may be a little big for small chested girlies.

Kennedy Dress is RIGHT
Never been stopped more at a wedding in my life. Complete strangers with no context of who I was walked up to me to ask about this dress. The mother of the bride walked to my table before the first dance to let me know how much she loved it. The bride yelled my name from across the lawn to freak out over it. It’s one of those dresses — trust me and rent it.

Sensitive Skin Girlies, DO NOT RENT
Wore these pants with a dinner with friends, and while very cute and flattering, the material of the lining absolutely destroyed my skin. About 1 1/2 hours into wearing them, my skin on my thighs felt a little sensitive, but I assumed it was a little chafing, NBD, nothing we all haven’t experienced before. WRONG. Went to go to the bathroom later and my legs were covered in hives. By the time I got home and could take them off, the hives were (TMI, but necessary) full on blistering. I’ve never had a polyester allergy, which is what the lining is made of, so all I can think to blame it on is my sensitive skin, so if you have similar skin sensitivity, please save yourself the trouble.

Also tricky for shoe pairings when you're not trying to look like a wedding guest. Otherwise, fun detailing of the shoulder ties, and the color was fabulous.

Liked, not loved
Cant put my finger on what was missing from this, but I guess I expected it to be more comfortable. Was a little tight up top, which is saying something with my relatively small chest, but the pattern was still cute.

Sleeves were a little tight on me, but otherwise great fit. As for the feedback I saw on the belt situation -- just double back the belt through the buckle (kind of like a D ring belt) and it should stay in place.

In a word: HOT.
The perfect dress for showing off your curves. The cutouts hit perfectly to accentuate your waist, the material hugs in all the right places, and the busy print is very forgiving. Only thing I would say is the top might be tricky with a larger cup size, but other than that, a knockout number.

Arguably my favorite dress I've ever rented
The hem is *short* so probably not ideal for those with long torsos and/or legs, but I loved everything about this piece. The print, the cut, the SLEEVES. 10/10.

It's THAT good. Quality of the fabric is unmatched, and this cut is very à la "Diane Lane In That One Scene In Under The Tuscan Sun" White Summer Dress energy. And the pockets... they can hold a phone without even looking like it's there. 1000/10.

Loved the way this fit, only complaint was that the lining felt off kilter at times, as if the lining and the dress couldn't line up. Otherwise a gorgeous sundress for an afternoon at the vineyards.

Knit midi skirts NEVER work for me. This did.
I'm always hesitant to rent knit skirts, as I feel like they always hug me in all the wrong places. This one is beautifully-constructed, THICK knit, and it looks just gorgeous with the matching top.

If you live for a statement print and a statement sleeve, this is your next rental. SO comfortable, and the belt cinches you in perfectly. Only note: since the material is denim, it's best served for 50-60 degree weather.

Size Up and You'll Love It
As the reviews suggested, I rented two sizes up, but since I'm really between sizes, the dress was too big and I sent it back. When I received another size -- this time one size up -- it was absolutely perfect. Such a fun dress for a girl's day out, though admittedly a little on the short side at times.

Vintage Feel With a Modern Take
I rented the full matching set, and together they felt like a modern take on 1940's fashion. I loved the colorful button detail on the side of the skirt paired with the floral and polka dot fabric on either sides of the top. The fabric's light but surprisingly opaque for a cream based pattern, and the outfit was overall very comfortable and easy to wear. Couldn't recommend more!

Fabulous in every way
I'm absolutely obsessed with this dress. Wore it for maid of honor duties the day before the wedding, and it was comfortable, beautifully constructed, and made me want to twirl constantly with its pleated yet flowy skirt. As the best man said, "I've never seen someone so appropriately dressed to play croquet" lol. Will definitely keep this in my rotation for the rest of fall. Only critique is the waist tie -- with a long torso I wish it sat lower to hit my natural waist instead of my ribs.

An all-time favorite
This dress is everything I hoped for and more in a rehearsal dinner dress. I'm one to usually steer clear of more form-fitting dresses with a pear shape, but this piece was SO flattering -- sexy and comfortable at the same time due to the wide square neckline and the high-low ruffle hem. I received compliments from everyone I spoke to at the event, and that's not hyperbolic. Will 100% rent again for my next formal occasion.

The Chicest I'll Look All Quarantine
Rented this Day 1 of quarantine and it completely brightened my week when it arrived. Flowy and comfortable, this dress is the ultimate cozy chic piece for lounging around the apartment, though it could easily be dressed up. The square collar is super flattering, though I have to note that the buttoned cuffs were a bit of a pain to secure/unsecure. Otherwise a lovely, fun piece.

Kept this rental for six months, it's THAT good
I honestly can't believe this silly selfie is the only picture I have in this coat because I wore it nearly every day this past fall and winter (as you can tell from the Halloween decorations in the pic). The silhouette accentuates your waistline beautifully, and the bell sleeves elevate it from a standard camel coat to a real statement piece. The otherwise classic trimmings made it surprisingly versatile, and it could manage below freezing weather if you layered underneath. So sad to return it!

Fun and Surprisingly Versatile!
This jacket is exceeded all expectations I had when I picked it out! Wore it to a UGA gameday, and it worked perfectly as a stylish, festive centerpiece to my outfit. I received so many compliments, especially about the color and the soft feel of the leather. In person, the color is a deeper red than it looks in the model photo, which makes it feel more versatile and less loud for the sake of wearing something loud. Will definitely rent again.

Perfect Birthday Outfit
This dress is surprisingly versatile and felt like it was made for celebrations. Paired it with white booties for the start of the night and felt like a seventies dream, changed into chunky heels for the night out and still looked fun as hell. Would definitely recommend going as close to your true size as possible, as I originally rented a size up because it was the only one available and I was drowning in it. Was so glad a smaller size was available in time for my birthday!

Showstopping wedding guest gown
I am absolutely obsessed with this dress. It made me feel so chic and sexy at a recent wedding I attended (despite the Florida humidity frizzing my hair to oblivion), and I'm pretty sure I explained RTR to about half in attendance because I kept getting compliments about it! Only critique is that it's verrrry roomy in the bodice, so if you have a small bust like me, size down or have an artillery of fashion tape at the ready.

One of my favorite pieces I've EVER rented
My pear shape always makes me a bit nervous with fit for jumpsuits, but I followed others' recommendation to size down and I'm so glad I did! This jumpsuit is so fun and unique, but the burnt orange color saves the polka dots from feeling too campy. I get so many compliments every time I wear it, so I knew I needed to ultimately buy it. Very easy to dress up and down -- wore it to a casual lunch one weekend (shown in the photo) and to my brother's rehearsal dinner the next and it was appropriate for both. If you're on the fence with this one, I couldn't recommend it more!!
