Interesting idea, but some flaws
I liked the idea of unlimited, but was disappointed to find out that not all the items on RTR are available via unlimited. Specifically I joined because I wanted to rent a certain dress and wear it for two events a couple weeks apart, and decided that I could also rent a couple of other dresses/items to wear for other events within the month. HOwever, the dress I wanted was not available. I did end up renting 7-8 items in the two months I was a member, but that was just because I paid for it. I didn't need the items and I probably wouldn't do this again. I love the idea of it, and I recognize it is hard to keep sufficient inventory, especially when people keep items for extended periods of time, as I did with one of the items, but I wish that had been clearer prior to my joining.

Great fabric, nice cut, can be worn several ways
TT dresses are always great quality and nice cuts. I felt this one was a bit tight for a 4 (compared to other TT dresses I've recently rented). If you are busty or not small-waisted I would size up. If I had a 6 I would have worn this several times, as I could put a denim jacket, blazer or sweater with it to create different looks. The colors are great and length is nice. Highly recommend and would rent again in a larger size so I can breathe.

Pretty fabric but odd fit
I loved the fabric and the idea of this skirt. I felt it ran small, however I don't have a small waist and it's probably just not a good fit for my shape. The slit and pockets were in a peculiar place and I found it looked better if I turned it almost sideways. It was much shorter than I expected and I couldn't wear any heel with it. I didn't end up wearing this. I would recommend for a more petite build.

Light fun dress - a real standout
I ordered a small, and it fit great. 5'7", 130lbs, straight waist and 34DD. Was a smidge tight in the bust. Got lots of compliments as it's such a fun print but still a very tasteful cut to make it formal. One of my favorite rentals ever.

Cute romper with a good fit
This romper is a nice blend of structured but breezy. The pattern isn't too much or too bright. It is quite short. I'm short waisted and rompers can be tricky because they can be too long waisted. This wasn't. I did find it a bit tight across the back but I have broad shoulders. Only criticism is that it is pretty short when you bend over or crouch down and goods may feel a bit of a breeze!

Versatile dress; great colors and fit!
Dress is great and I would def rent again. I have no waist and am 130lbs 5'7" with a large bust. The dress was a little sassy with the neckline slit and length, but still modest enough for any occasion. I wore it by itself, with a jean jacket and with a blazer and it looked great every way. The sleeves are a little restrictive but not bothersome.

Fun, unique party look!
Ok, first thing I noticed just in considering this piece is that it looked great on nearly every body shape/size that reviewed it, so despite my general jumpsuit skepticism I pressed on with this rental and boy am I glad I did. The pros: The "wrap" style is a more tailored fit and tends to make you look long and lean. The fabric is light and airy and thus quite comfortable. I'm leggy and short-torsoed and if wearing a 3 inch heel, I usually require about a 35in inseam - the 4L was a perfect length. The cons: your goods are going to hang out unless you pin it. You will undoubtedly work up a sweat strategically pinning this so you have the appropriate amount of cleavage showing. Secondly, getting this sucker on and off is an issue. You should probably take a friend to the bathroom with you, who isn't on the brink of wetting their pants and has steady enough hands to get the oh-so-strategically placed safety pins undone. This friend should also be comfortable with you doing a nude gymnastics routine, because that's how it's all going to play out if you have to go to the bathroom. Overall, it looks killer on and is a stand out piece. I got a ton of compliments and I am planning on renting it again since I can't find it for purchase anywhere.

Great Fall Wedding Dress!
I got tons of compliments on this dress. The fabric was a very substantial tweed type of fabric. It does run quite small and is tight in the bust.
