Runs so big! Size down!
This dress requires Spanx even if it runs big, does that make sense? Let me explain, it's made of the type of material that sticks to your body. I ordered a size too big and it looked horrendous on me! The arms were big and loose and the tummy section looked weird. I recommend staying true to your size and having some Spanx and a racerback bra to wear this hot little number. I personally did not wear it out but I would probably try again soon with the correct size.

Beautiful dress!
Such a lovely print and unusual cut! I really liked this dress. I believe it runs small. At least in the arms it does, the lower part fit perfectly. If you like your clothes to have some wiggle room then I recommend sizing up! You won't regret this rental!

Runs soooo small!
Unfortunately, I was not able to wear this outside since it wouldn't zip up. The dress itself is gorgeous but it runs very very small. I don't even know if the size 12 could have fit me, I had ordered a 10. The arms were especially tight! It was also super short. I would have worn tights underneath since I'm pretty tall. I would only recommend this to petite girls.

MAAAJAAHHH DARRRLING!
I DID NOT WANT TO RETURN THIS CHOKER!!!! It's such an incredibly luxurious piece! It may not look like much through the photos but the gems are all so shiny and beautiful and the weaving of the choker itself is very intricate. It paired well with many things. It's truly a beautiful piece of jewellery. I saw that the original (or the one you can buy online) has a ribbon tie, this one does not. I think RTR made the right choice in changing the ribbons for strong and easy to close clasp.

GORGEOUS & UNIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This dress reminded me of the fashions of the Elizabethan period, so I had to try it! It runs very small especially in the lower bodice section since it's structured. I'm very glad I sized up! I made it work appropriate by wearing a skin colour slip underneath because you can see through (just a bit) all the buttons. The material is also thick so I only recommend it for late fall (without a coat) or winter (with a coat). This is a unique item and RTR should get more things like this!

Perfect Fall Dress!
One of the favorites I have rented! It's made out of very thick material but not uncomfortably heavy. I loved the Trapeze cut because although it's forgiving, it's also structured enough not to be a mumu (nothing wrong with mumus). I also like the flowery details because it adds a little pizzaz! Highly recommend this dress, looks expensive as well. It runs true to size. I'm between 8-10 and the size 44 (UK size-US 10) was perfect since I don't like clothes that are restrictive or tight!

GORGEOUS!
My only issue with this bag is more to do with RTR. I really wanted to try the bag with the big pearls on the side also but the one that I received did not have them. It happened with a previous Zac Posen bag (not exactly as advertised). The bag was still beautiful, medium-sized (just perfect for a museum outing!) and looks very expensive. I recommend it!

Pretty dress!
I really love butterflies so when I saw this dress I had to try it! It's really pretty and perfect for dancing, especially salsa or tango since the bottom moves beautifully. It does run a bit small but that's only because the lining of the dress is like a scuba suit material that also acts like spandex. I enjoyed wearing it a lot! I just wore it to work.

Pretty color!
Nothing special. I do love the color a lot! I wish RTR would get more intricate pieces this color. Run very big. I think a medium would have looked better on me--less mumu-ish! I wore it to run some errands around on a Saturday morning and also to work. People complimented the color a lot (thus the reason I rent it!).

Just WOW!
This top is the reason why Rent the Runway should exist. It's so intricate and unique that it deserves a good portion of my earnings to rent! I got so many compliments at work! I don't want to return it because it's even beautiful to look at in the hanger. I felt like a Tibetan princess. It runs true to size -towards the larger side. It's so comfy to wear mainly because there's a cotton lining that prevents the gorgeous embroidery from digging into your skin. I hope RTR gets more pieces like this! Totally worth my slot and will more than likely rent again!

Pretty colors, nothing special
I wore this to work since it did not arrive on time for the event I wanted to wear it to. It wouldn't have worked anyway because the only available size was an 8 and that zipped well everywhere besides my big bazookas. I wore a jacket over it so it wasn't a hassle and I paired them with booties. I like the embroidered hem and neckline. The straps are really thin and they do dig in a little into the shoulders. I would not be using my unlimited slot for this dress again.

My favorite so far!!
I loved this jumpsuit so much! It's probably the most fun piece I have rented so far. I love the colors and the style. It's forgiving if you style it right. It does run very big. Since I didn't feel comfortable without a bra I wore an intricate lace bralette that matched the aesthetics of the jumpsuit. I coordinated my outfit with a felt and leather hat, large hoops, dainty chokers and black booties (all my own). I would definitely recommend this and would rent again! Go down in size if you like a fitted look, stay true to your size if you want things to be roommie and go up a size if you want things to just dance and be a blanket!

Beautiful color!
I received many compliments at work because of the dress! It's a beautiful color and the design is classic. It does run a bit small in my opinion, especially in the arms/sleeves. I would recommend going a size up for comfort. I would rent it again during winter because the material is very thick and would look very nice with tights and boots!

Fun bag!
Wore it a few times. The most notable events I wore it to was a film festival (casually with jeans) and work (paired with Rachel Zoe Sangria dress). It's a gorgeous bag that's very roomie. My only grievance is that handle was different than the one pictured. The replacement looks much studier but it's made out of boat ropes (don't even know if that's a real thing) and thus cheapens this very expensive bag. I would rent it again though!

GORGEOUS!
I wanted to wear this before the REAL cold arrives in New England. I wore it to a charity event! It was super beautiful, made me feel like a modern-day tropical superhero. I paired them with multicolor sandals, pineapple earrings and an orange purse (all my own). The material is very thick but breathable. The one-sided cape adds just enough flair and drama without making it look like a Halloween dress. I highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful colors and design!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous. The material does not wrinkle and the colors invoke Fall. That being said, it's true to size with the exception of the breast area. There's really not much room in there if you have a large bust. If you like your clothing tight then go a size down (that is, if you have small to medium breasts). Otherwise, stick with your size or go a size up if you have PLENTY of boobies. I styled it with an ornate, multicolor necklace and a dainty ear cuff (my own).

The most beautiful shade of GREEN!
I have a hard time finding clothes this color. A green this shade reminds of nature and spring and all happy things! I'm so glad I ordered this blouse. I loved wearing it so much I wore it to a date and to work the next day. I live in New England so the disparity in the amount of clothes in the two pictures give you an idea of how crazy the weather is up here! For sizing, tt runs large in my opinion. I'm glad it did since I was able to layer it and make it work appropriate. Size down if you don't have a lot of bussom. Otherwise, stay true to your size.

Gorgeous top!
I would definitely be renting this again! I wore it for a date.It's a classic shape with a modern twist. What I like the most if the silkiness of it, made me feel catty (meeeaowww)! It looks stunning, especially from the back. For sizing, stay true to your size if you have medium to large breasts. If you small breasts I suggest you go down a size or the top part will look weird (like a gaping at the side). I love doing low-high street outfits so I paired them with ripped jeans and some tribal looking sandals.

GORGEOUS DAHLIA FLOWER EARRINGS!
I love extravagant clothing and accessories and this was a winner! I wore it to work and to another function and I loved them. Definitely bigger than I thought but much lighter. The material is heavy plastic that looks like leather. In the middle, there's a huge ball of diamonds. These are clip on which makes them easier to wear for a whole day because you can clip them way above your earlobe so the weight can be better distributed allowing for comfortable hours long wear. My only issue with them was that the plastic that RTR puts in the back (for our own protection, I assume) makes the earrings slip easily. I would recommend wearing them to places and functions where you don't move a lot unless you want to end up paying for essentially just 1 of the earrings. I found them easy to combine with everything. I would definitely rent them again and maybe pair them casually with a classic sweatshirt.

Pretty. Nothing special!
I wore this to work. I loved the colors and the silky feel of it. I found to blouse to be meh. Nothing special. May I add that I think the little pom poms cheapen the blouse a bit. I still like it but I don't think I'll use another Unlimited slot to rent it again.

GORGEOUS DRESS!
I absolutely loved the dress. I'm in between sizes and I thought a larger than usual would look better since my breasts are just super big (when I gain weight they're usually the first to increase in size). It runs LARGE so I suggest you stick to your size or even go a step-down. The wrap around feature is very flattering but if the dress runs too big the armholes and the breast front would flare out and expose you. I still enjoyed it and it made feel super girlie!

GORGEOUS COLOUR!
I absolutely love this top! The color (has a slight sheen to it), the Fabric (thick but not uncomfortable) and design are fabulous! Since RTR seem to have a rating based on compliments, I would say that this hit the ball out of the ballpark! I paired them with a leopard print skirt and complementary earrings (both my own). RENT this top right now! You will not regret it.
