Can't pee without taking it off
The reason I bought this is that the stitching next to the zipper ripped. The zipper is in the back. It runs from the tail to the neck. It is stitched to the lining, which is so fragile that the zipper ripped completely out of the romper as my daughter was helping me zip the back. There is no way to use the bathroom without taking the romper entirely off. The zipper AND the buttons being in the back would make it impossible to put back on if I were actually out on this date with my husband. I will repair and sell this thing, but I tell you—this experience has turned me completely off of RTR.

Short
It was much shorter on me than the model's photo shows. The fabric is practically weightless. Very soft and silky. If I were crazy about this top, I would size up and try again.

Great for hourglass figures
The could be a very sexy dress on a woman with a cute waistline. Unfortunately, I don't, so it was not as flattering as I'd hoped. Some Spanx came to the rescue for me, so it was fine. The fabric is silky and soft. The skirt has great movement when you walk or dance.

Lots of fashion tape
The sleeves fall down, but the design of the blouse doesn't look good like that—at least I didn't like the droopy look. It was better when I taped them to my shoulders. The ridiculously long hanger loops kept emerging, so I had to tape those, too. Feels cheap. Stupid price.

New Orleans jeans
Soft denim, very comfortable. I wore these walking, dining, and flying. I have no idea what makes these so expensive. Maybe it's me, but even when I tried to dress these jeans up, they still looked a little shabby on me.

Warm!
I wore this sweater over a long-sleeved bodysuit and black jeans. Spent the evening at a casual evening 4-H/FFA benefit auction and dinner indoors. This sweater would have been the right choice if we'd been outdoors—it was very warm. I don't usually wear such bright colors, but this was fun. I could have gone with an XL and it would have still been oversized.

The opposite of flattering on my figure
I didn't wear these jeans. They were just too-tight enough to make me worry that I'd pop that button if I tried to wear them the whole day. I am a true apple-shaped 55-year old woman, so the front zipper created a bright, shiny, curved line along my round belly. As others have mentioned, the zippers are fine-toothed metal against your legs.

Literally every day
I love this sweater so much. I love the super-long sleeve cuffs, the textures of the knits, and the way the body hangs boxy and loose. It's medium-weight, soft and perfect for layering. Although it looks casual on me, its luxury feel gives me a warm sense of well-being. If you're not into the oversized look, try it in a size or two smaller than your usual size—and be sure to check it out in swanky black, too.

Sunshine on a cloudy day
Lightweight and easy on the earlobes. Not too sparkly for everyday wear, but bright enough to feel glamorous. The only trouble I ran into was that they had a tendency to kind of kink up (see photo) and I had to remember to straighten them out once in a while. Not a deal breaker, by any means.

Stretchyyyyy
I'll try size 14. These fit well everywhere except in the belly, which was slightly saggy on me. Odd. Big front pockets—real pockets! Well made jeans. I wish the designer had set the back pockets a little closer to the center seam, I feel like the jeans would be more flattering if the pockets didn't have so much space between them.

Flattering on my apple shape
I kept having to fuss with the ribbon tied in the back because the satiny fabric kept coming undone. The elastic hit just below my natural waist, so when the dress rode up a little the skirt was shorter than I expected, but it looked fine. This dress moves well (once you get the ribbon settled) and the embroidery gives the light fabric a nice weight.

Perfect with a little tape
I love this blouse! The fabric has a lovely feel and drape. The neck has no buttons and would have revealed cleavage below my sternum had I not used a little double-stick fabric tape to close it a bit higher. I also used some tape to keep the collar from flopping over like lapels. The heft of the fabric that makes the hem and sleeves drape so beautifully works against this collar, but the tape did the trick. Since I was standing all day, I think it worked nicely.

Zinfandel and earrings
I wore these to pour wine at a Zinfandel tasting. I got tons of compliments on matching the wine to these earrings. They're not terribly heavy, but I was in motion the whole day and my earlobes were tired and sore by the end of the event. I will definitely rent these again.

Bold elegance
Other than having to occasionally check that it hadn't turned around on my neck, this choker was easy and pretty. I handled it gently because it seems like it might be easy to bend.

Worn to pour wine at a Zinfandel tasting event in the City
I love Trina Turk so much. The fabric of these pants has a lovely ribbon-like texture. They are heavy and hang beautifully. The colors are vivid. Very fun! I ordered size 16 but ended up wearing the backup size 14 instead. The 16s were longer than I expected, and a little roomy at the waist. I could have worn them and been fine, but the 14s were perfect.

This dress was worn out and tired. Not for me
This is a sweet little dress. I tried to make it work but ultimately didn't wear it. RTR is all about experimenting, for me, so this is just one that didn't fly.

I love love love this sweater
I will rent this again in a smaller size which might look more flattering. It's designed for a loose look. I loved the looooong-long sleeves and long cuffs. The boxy shape works perfectly with my apple body. Surprised that such a comfortable sweater looked as chic as it did. The sweater I had was slightly pilled, but it wasn't terrible because of the texture and quality of the knit fabric.

I ended up wearing these for my casual work, and on a dinner & movie night with my husband
These were a bit tight on me, but not uncomfortable. There's not much stretch—the denim quality and color are great. I can wear a size 14 jeans, usually. The mid-rise wasn't so pretty with my apple shape body. I wore a body-shaper to contain my muffin top and a long and loose sweater, which worked. I'm 5'4" with short-ish legs, so the cropped hem just skimmed the tops of my ankles.

I wore these to work twice.
These felt like leggings, looked like jeans, yet do not have a "jeggings" quality about them. The black is rich, like ink. They go with everything. I will definitely keep my eyes open for more like these.

Big and bright
I don't know how I missed the size of these—they are giant, about 3 inches long. For the size, they are not heavy. They have a black crocheted backing on one side and they kept flipping around. They have a Mardi Gras feel—which was fine for the occasion and the dress I had. Fun to borrow and wear once!
