Plan on ironing
Not a quick pass but a detailed press. I decided it wasn’t worth it and didn’t wear it once. Otherwise would have been cute

Cozy
The kind of sweater you leave at work draped over the back of your chair to wear every day in the winter, but not to meetings

Liked it
Not especially fitted, but I liked it and had the weather been just a little colder I would have enjoyed styling this for work and play

Not for the 3rd trimester
Wish I had rented these sooner because by week 34 there was no way they were stretching over the bump

Flattering
Wore this to a black tie work event. Beautiful color. Good construction. Flattering. I rented this as a back up and SO glad I did! Received lots of compliments.

Wish this came as separates
I was in love with this from the waist down, but the chest was swimming on me. It was so unflattering, no amount of pins or tape could have helped. I could have worn a sweater over it, but not for my black tie event. Good thing I rented a back up!

Wore this over a thin denim maxi. Don’t miss the snaps that go around your bra straps to keep it up. Husband liked it too

Not flattering
Rented this for a Barbie party but didn’t end up wearing. The back actually looked good but the almost shear fabric with high slit and too much fabric in the stomach looked very weird.

Loved
This sweater is an outfit in itself. Just add fitted black basics. I wore it on vacation and it was great for the plane too. It's great for chilly summer nights-- strawberries keep it summery even while providing warmth. I would have kept it but found it online (new) for half the price!

Defective?
This is a wrap dress but there's no slit in the belt area fit the inside wrap to emerge ro tie. I think I recieved a dud. Maybe it wasn't the only one since it was heavily discounted in the keep it forever section and another review said she couldn't figure out out. I guess I'll have to bring it to a tailor. Otherwise beautiful. Very high slit at hip.

Nice but small
My everyday jeans are 30 and 31 (everlane), I've rented several other 31s from RTR lately and had some room in the waist. I rented the 32 here and couldn't button the top. Nice jeans. Size up, maybe twice.

Size up for hips
I loved this skirt so much but sadly had to send it back without wearing because it was tight across the hips. It has some stretch but don't count on it to accommodate pears because when the skirt stretches the slit points in. Would rent again in size 12.

These were not flattering at all. I think they would be great on a thinner woman but not great for my body type. Returned immediately.

Great work look but scratchy
I love that this sweater escalates a t-shirt and jeans to work attire, but it was too itchy even with a, albeit thin, long sleeve shirt. Otherwise, I would have kept it.

I lived this skirt so much I thought about keeping it, and since I sent it back I've been thinking about when im going to rent it again. It's not too heavy or too thin. The pleats move nicely. Perfect length for my height.
