This is my second time renting this piece. I would say it runs slightly on the smaller side, but it does have slight stretch. Fabric is very warm and a little scratchy if you don't tuck your top in. I love the high waist and the body-hugging fit. Perfect for fall and winter.

Loved the high waist and the side pocket that made the skirt unique. 

I thought this skirt is so cool and love the fabric and pattern… but just hated the way it looked on me! Even though the fit was right on - yes, the waist is fitted and it’s snug through the hips, but that’s the way a pencil should fit - I felt awkward. The fabric is very thick (and super itchy, even with tights) and added so much visual weight all the way around. The pocket placement is odd, and the side zipper stopped at the waist leaving a gap for the top ruffle on one side. I felt like it should have had a few hooks or something but didn’t notice signs of anything being pulled or missing.
For those of you rocking this - my hat is off to you! 

This skirt is unique for sure. Honestly wasn’t sure I liked it at 1st. Sits above your waist. It really grew on me. I got a lot of compliments. It is definitely a winter item. Very warm. I would absolutely rent this again. 

Oh, I just loved this skirt. It is unique, can be dressed up or down, perfect for the office and work parties. It creates a flattering shape as well. The little pocket was sweet! I put my radio or phone there. And, of course the exaggerated high waist was so fun. I wore this 20+ times and was very close to purchasing! 

This skirt was definitely a statement. It was form fitting, but a little tight in the waist. I received many compliments, but the high waist is a little odd. I felt like my boobs were on display since the skirt hit right below them. It was a little itchy, but a fun rental. 

Not something I would typically wear which is why I rented it. Loved it! Unfortunately RTR was out of my normal size 6 so I went with a 4 - not gonna lie it was a little snug - but doable!  Only downside was that it was hot! I am always freezing but found myself sweating with the skirt. Wouldn’t stop me from renting again though! 

The cut of this skirt is truly unique, extending lower (t length) and higher (just below bra line) than the usual pencil. Also loving the color palette in the houndstooth! Wish I could keep.

I loved this skirt, even if no one else did. 
Best for pear shapes!
For all my ladies with a tush, RTR recommended a 40, and 42 fit great! I’m 131, 5’3”, and have a somewhat small waist - this was great. It was lined, so it wasn’t itchy, and I managed to snag this right at that first fall freeze in illinois so it was very cozy for that cold walk from your car to your desk (if any of you still go into office). 
It is tapered toward the bottom and really elongates the leg with even a little heel, however I did sort of have to spin to get in and out of any deep chairs, haha. Loved the skirt! 

 Had a little bit of trouble with the zipper going up and down. Otherwise great skirt a lot of movement and stretch. I love how high waisted it is.
