So fun - but too big!
I'm into oversized but this was just a tent! I do like the tent-like cut and will be trying to rent it in a size down - but it made me look like I was trying to hide something, or like it was a maternity dress, in the size 4 which I typically am.

Way too small!
I'm typically a 4 - sometimes 2, sometimes 6, depending on designer and cut. This skirt is labeled a 4 and I'm not convinced it would fit a 0. Wayyyyy too small. Shame because I love the color and buttons!

Beautiful embroidered fabric
Wore this to a summer outdoor wedding with a "funky formal" dress code. The tea length was perfect for being outdoors and the dress was a huge hit. Was able to go braless but some lift tape helped with how things sat. The heavy embroidery on this dress makes it really beautiful in person. I did not find it to be oppressively warm as some other reviews mentioned. Black trim makes it easy to match shoes, bag, etc. This one's a winner!

Trendy, fun and unique. Statement-ish without taking over. Wearable with so much! Love these. Not heavy AT ALL or uncomfortable in the slightest. True winners.

Fun statement bag that fits a laptop
Like this bag a lot, fun and funky. Big enough for an average laptop. A little loose/weird when not zipped shut but not a big deal.

Fun and shiny!
Could have gone a size down perhaps but overall really dug this top. Lots of compliments. The waist is a little itchy where the sequins fold over underneath, but the rest is lined and fine.

So so small. So low waisted.
Ordered two sizes up from my normal after reading other review and feel like I needed to go two MORE up. Love the color and pattern but think you have to be Kendall Jenner for these to be flattering. Or get on you at all.

Too big, but reordering in a size down! Lovely overall just cut super large.
I was prepared for boxy and oversized and super down, but I looked like a little kid in my parents coat. Reordering at a size down as soon as it's available! Otherwise beautiful, long and rich and green.

Beautiful color and material, but just a smidge too small at the waist - no give!
These are great pants and such a lovely color but have no stretch, so while I wouldn't recommend "sizing up" per se, if you're between sizes normally lean towards the upper end!

Loved em, bought em - super funky and light!
Easy to wear and lightweight. Fun and funky statement. I wear them all the time now to jazz up plain outfits! They definitely do not feel or look particularly high quality or expensive, the gold looks pretty cheap, but I'm in it for the fun and that's alright by me.

Perfect boxy, borrowed from the boys style blazer
A great layer in chilly months, nails the casual menswear inspired look. Loved!

A little weird, but fun for a single wear
Not something I would buy to own - and I love weird vintage retro things. A little diaper-butt-y and the taper from hip to ankle is a little strange, makes you look kind of big in the hips. That being said they grew on me over the day and I did like them in the end!

A little busty, but nothing a safety pin couldn't fix. Teeny bit short in the legs but I have a long torso. Loved feeling like some kind of Austin Powers boss lady!
Wide Leg Button Front Jumpsuit

More like leggings than trousers
Didn't like these and didn't wear them - they are knit and stretchy and come off as leggings with a pleat rather than the sharp pair of trousers I had hoped for. Clung to me in unflattering ways.

A fun pattern makes winter dressing more bearable!
Arrived a little pilly and worse for wear, but otherwise a great sweater. Fun whimsical pattern, easy basic fit, mid weight. Stood out at the office amidst solid boring sweaters!

Fun choice for a prom themed party
Pretty - got tons of compliments and the colors were great. A unique but not over the top choice for a fun occasion. Fit was great.

Statement Maker
Tons of compliments, great statement too. Wore to the office tucked into black jeans, again at a women's conference event and bringing it on vacation before returning it. Definitely be prepared to stand out, it's bright and extreme!

Beautiful color and statement cut, great for fall or spring
Loved this! I'm normally a small and based on reviews ordered the XS, which fits great. It's long enough to tuck into higher waisted jeans. The detail at the neck is lovely and the sleeves are fun. Goldenrod color is perfect for fall.
Another Eternity Top

Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 125lbs

Beautiful color - tons of compliments!
This dress looked and felt great for work or the weekend. It has pockets! Only reason I'm giving it four stars is because a button in the chest area popped off at random in the middle of the day, which wasn't ideal at the office... that aside this is a great dress for making a little bit of a statement without going wild!
Crimson Red Shirtdress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 2
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 34B
Beautiful details
I wasn't able to wear this - I chose the XS based on some other reviews and should have gone with S, was just a touch too small and pinched. No stretch at waist. Beautiful though, with lovely intricate sequin detailing.
Black Cecilia Maxi Skirt

Too small in the ribcage
Unable to wear - too small in the ribcage to zip up. Size up unless you have an extraordinarily small frame.

Arrived broken; kept coming undone
The bag is a decent size and can fit a plus size iphone but you have to constantly arrange things carefully inside to do so - lipstick + phone = challenge. A slightly busted/bent frame and clasp made it very hard to constantly be opening and shutting, so I wound up not storing my phone in it at all, which was kind of the point so that was a bummer. Would not rent again due to functionality issues but looked beautiful!!

Lightweight standouts!
These earrings were beautiful statement pieces but barely weigh anything! The metal and stones are understated in their color/sparkle, allowing the interesting shapes and layout to standout rather than overwhelm. A great size/length for a statement earring that adds to rather than distracts from a dress. Loved!

Makes getting dressed easy!
Great, easy fit - very flattering and the quality of the cut stands out, especially in the way it hits the shoulders/sleeves and ankles. The bright fun color makes it an easy outfit to throw on quickly when you want to stand out without thinking too hard! Note the ribbon/tie belt pictured in the listing is not there, it's an elastic waist with no ornament. Lightweight, and traveled fairly well without too much wrinkling. Loved this and will likely rent again! Made vacation packing a snap.
Red Wrap Jumpsuit

Beautiful and high quality
I went with another option for this occasion because I wanted more color - but this is a stunning and flattering dress with exquisite details. The 2R was a tad loose on me but not terribly so. You can feel the quality of the fabric and make of this dress and it feels like a million bucks on! The cape detail is fun and the back is gorgeous.

Funky and comfy!
So many compliments on these easy to wear statement pants. Have pockets! Great length - cropped enough to see your shoe but not enough to be a real cropped pant. Wore them to work and for a night out without having to change a thing - super versatile. They are true to size but note the waist does not stretch, so if you are worried about that or between two sizes, go for bigger since they are a very wide leg anyway. LOVE THESE PANTS, and will rent again.

Unique, funky and fun
I went with a different dress for my occasion, this was a backup - but would wear this to a number of events! Unique and a bit different for those who balk at more traditional formalwear. Felt a bit like a Star Wars senator at a Galactic Gala! The material is heavy and the dress feels high quality but is very comfortable. Would have needed a proper heel.

Lovely dress with a whimsical print - very tight in the ribcage! DO rent this dress, but do size up.
Rented this dress for a casual-ish rehearsal dinner at a cidery for a summer wedding. LOVE the print and the dress overall was perfect for the setting in the Catskills mountains. It was, however, almost too tight across my ribcage to wear! This was a bonus dress in a RTR promo so I only had one size; the size up would definitely have been the move. By contrast, I wore a 2R in a different dress for the actual wedding - and here the 4 was too small. Rent this dress, but size up! The print is so fun - the florals being oversize is unexpected and makes it funky. The style of the fabric almost gives it a canvas/almost denim look, and there's visible stitching as a style element, making it a little bit more on the casual side than the listing really shows.

Stunning, unique, and flattering; perfect for a rustic outdoor/barn Summer wedding. Fun AND elegant!
I normally don't go for cold shoulder styles but I loved the print - and I have no regrets! Fit beautifully, compliments all night. A unique dress amongst more expected summer wedding looks. The print feels elegant and sophisticated as opposed to more frivolous florals. Nipped in perfectly at the waist, so so flattering. I can be between a 2 and a 6 depending on the cut and fit of dresses; I ordered a 4 and a 2 in this and wore the 2. Length was great with a very short heel - maybe a little too long, but I refuse to wear tall heels! Overall easy to wear and dance in, super comfortable. Fabric is a bit on the heavy side for dresses of this vibe, which makes it feel expensive and nice - but also can be a bit warm in the Summer weather! Fit me well enough to not wear a bra but a strapless would be no problem for those looking for extra support.
