Perfect tunic for spring!
I love this tunic! It's flattering / forgiving, comfortable, and the colors are vibrant. Looks great with white pants. Be sure to size down. I am a size 8, and the size 6 was still roomy. So many compliments!

Cute but SIZE DOWN!
Like all of the other reviews, this dress runs SO large. As a reference I am a solid size 8. I ordered the size 4, and there was still much room to spare. I think I could have even worn a size 2.. which is hilarious because those words have never come out of my mouth! The colors on the dress are perfect for spring. I wore it to a graduation, shower, and church all in one weekend.. very versatile!

Perfect for Spring!
I adore this dress! It's flowy, comfortable, effortless, and so pretty. I wore it to a baby shower, and it was perfect for a spring day. Like many of the other reviewers - this runs rather large. As a reference- I am 5'8, and I am a pretty fluffy girl who is a solid size 8. I was able to fit comfortably into a size 6, and still had plenty of room to eat (talk about a confident booster ha!). I would highly recommend at least ordering 1 size down. This is why I love RTR unlimited- this isn't a dress that I would normally buy off the rack, but I took a chance with renting it.

Fun top
I liked this top, but I didn't love it. Overall I liked it because it is unique, and I got a lot of compliments. The cut isn't super flattering, and I ended up having to wear the buttons at the bottom of the sleeves undone because it was too tight. I think this top may be more flattering for shorter girls. I'm 5'8 with a long torso, and I found the top to be shorter than my liking. Looks great white pants or jeans.

Big & Tall ladies... This dress is for YOU!
I can't say enough positive things about this dress! This was actually my "backup" for a wedding, but I ended up going with this dress because it exceeded my expectations! I found this dress to run TTS for the most part, however the chest area I found ran small. I'm a solid size 8 and very pear shaped. The size 8 fit perfectly everywhere except the chest was very tight. I decided to humble myself and go with the size 10. The skirt was a little fuller when I sized up, but that meant more room to eat and dance :) Oh, and did I mention, IT HAS POCKETS!! This dress is so much more beautiful in person. Even received compliments from strangers. Definitely in my top 5 for RTR rentals!

Size down for sure!
I loved this top! It's very versatile. I wore it to dinner, a broadway show, and a party. Like most FP clothing this runs pretty large. For reference I am a solid size 8, and the size M was wayyy too large. The small fit perfectly with extra room to spare. Super comfy and effortless.

So flattering
Loved this dress! The dress is nicely made and the fabric feels expensive. The sleeves of the dress are the best part. Flattering and comfortable... can be dressed up or down.

Leopard chunky sweater
Overall, I loved this sweater. It is soft, the neckline is flattering, and the leopard print is beautiful (its tasteful - not obnoxious or tacky cheetah print). My only complaint is that I would have liked the sweater to be a little longer in length. Just as a personal preference, I prefer longer blouses & sweaters. Granted I am 5'8 and have a long torso (and pear shaped), so I think extra length would have made it a little more flattering and less boxy.

Classic DVF
As soon as I saw this top, I knew I had to rent it! It is well made, unique, and for the most part flattering. Like many reviewers, I found that this top runs small. I am a solid size 8, and I found that the size 10 was even a little snug across my mid section (but the ruffles hid it). As clumsy as I am, renting anything white is a gamble, but it was worth it!

Such fun earrings!
These earrings are so fun! The color is beautiful. I wore them to a holiday party, and they were the perfect pop of color. I would have given them 5 stars however around midnight I had to take them off because they started to hurt much worse (even after a few glasses of wine...). It's not that they're heavy, it's just because they're clipons.

The perfect sweater!
From the fringe details, to the color, to the collar I loved everything about this sweater! Perfect for the fall/winter. It's classic but also trendy. I did find that this ran fairly true to size, just not a lot of extra room in the mid section area (but I'm very pear shaped). When I first received the sweater it was brand spanking new with the tags... another reason I didn't want to send it back ;)

Perfect for the holidays
I had been eyeing this dress for well over a year on RTR. After joining unlimited (best decision ever, btw) I was so excited to see this was part of the unlimited selection. The red was a little deeper than I expected, but the dress is absolutely stunning. So many details. I wore this to a holiday party, and I received compliments all night.. even from strangers. Like many of the other reviewers, I would say this dress runs small. I am a solid 8, and the 8 fit but the slip underneath was sooo tight. I decided to go with the 10 to give myself extra room. One con is that it took me over 30 mins to steam the dress to make sure all the flowers weren't wrinkled, but it was well worth it.

Such a pretty top!
This is definitely one of those tops that look much better worn than on the rack. When I first received the shirt I thought it was just "meh." After trying it on I loved it! The bows on the wrists were a statement without being tacky or obnoxious. Pros: flattering, lovely color, fabric feels luxurious. Cons: Took forever for me to steam, and if you are clumsy like I am - this shirt broadcasts any spill. The slit makes it sassy, but not too revealing. I received so many compliments!

Trina Turk Kacie Dress
This dress was definitely one of my favorite rentals! The cut was flattering, the length was perfect, and it was comfortable. I wore it all day long for my friend's bridal lunch, rehearsal, and rehearsal dinner. My only complaint is that it is low cut. I pinned the top so I wouldn't have to worry about it gapping open.

Perfect for summertime!
This shift is perfect! So easy to throw on and can be dressed up or down. I ordered the size 6 & 8 and both fit, but I went with the size 8 just for length and room in the bust area. I would order your true size & a size down. I am pear shaped and found this dress so flattering. I have rented it twice! I love that RTR has Lilly (and Lilly that isn't "too Lilly").

Lovely!
I had been eyeing this necklace on RTR forever! I finally took advantage of renting it during the rent 1 get 2 free special. It went great with the Laundry By Design romper I rented! It's so unique and versatile.. I would love to own this necklace! It really pulled my outfit together. Great statement necklace without being too flashy.

LOVE this romper!
I ordered this romper as a last minute outfit to wear for my friend's Bachelorette trip. Everything else I wanted to rent was unavailable, so I took a chance with it. I LOVED it! It was comfy, flattering, and the material looks and feels high quality. Because I am tall and pear shaped I typically have trust issues with rompers... until this one! I went with the size 8, and ordered up for my back up size. If I could rent this again I would order down for my backup - runs true to size with a little extra room. I also rented a necklace from RTR which went perfect with the romper. Great alternative to a LBD!

YOU NEED THIS DRESS!!
Y'ALL! This dress completely exceeded my expectations. It was flattering, comfortable, and was perfect for a spring wedding. I'm glad I took the advice from other reviewers saying the dress runs large. I am a solid size 8, and the size 6 fit me perfectly. So definitely order a size down as a back up. One other thing that I was happy about is the length. I'm 5'8 so finding dresses long enough is somewhat of a struggle, but this dress was perfect. I paired it with my turquoise Kendra Scott earrings. Such a fun dress!

Cheetah Crawl Dress
I ended up choosing this dress for a rehearsal dinner after all of my other top rental choices were already booked. I was a little skeptical prior to renting this dress because of the cheetah print. However when I first tried on this dress it completely exceeded my expectations! The cheetah print is very subtle (not tacky at all), and the color is beautiful. The dress is super flattering especially if you are pear shaped. I am also 5'8, and the length was appropriate. The only compliant I had was I wished the dress had pockets the whole night I wore it. So classy - I will definitely rent this dress again!

Lovely!
I was so excited to finally rent this dress after weeks of it being booked. This dress is so lovely and unique! The lace overlay definitely runs large, so be sure to order a size down or two. I am typically a size 6/8 in dresses, and the size 6 fit perfectly with room to spare. The size 8 was way too big! I agree with many of the other reviewers that the slip does fit a little strange. Since I was attending a day time event (bridal luncheon) the nude slip was appropriate. I will absolutely rent again!

Black Frame Shift Dress
I rented this dress for my grad school graduation. It was exactly what I needed- something the color of black, flattering, and conservative. Overall this is a lovely dress, and there is a lot of little details that make it unique. I found it runs mainly true to size, but maybe on the side of a little large. I would size down as your back up.

Such a beautiful dress! This dress was actually supposed to be my "backup" for an event, but I ended up wearing it instead of my first choice. The color and details are beautiful, and the cut is very flattering. I got compliments all night long. I am 5'8, and the length was perfect with wedges. My favorite thing about the dress was how comfortable it is. This is one of my favorite rentals, and I will definitely rent this dress again!

I love this shirt! The color is lovely. It's boxy but still flattering. Definitely get a size down or two for this shirt. I'm a size 6/8, and the size Small was still very roomy. Will rent again for sure!

I really loved this dress! I only gave it four stars because it was very short on my 5'8 frame. It does go perfect with black tights & booties if you are tall and considering renting this dress. The pattern is very unique, and the cut of the dress is very flattering even though it is short. Absolutely go a size down if you consider renting this dress! I'm 5'8 and typically a size 6-8, and the size small fit great with a little room to spare.

Nanette Lepore
Beautiful dress! My backup size (size 6) was unavailable, so I wore the size 8 even though it was a little big. Definitely get a size down for your backup. I wore a strapless bra, but you could easily wear it without one. I rented the Kendra Scott Rose Quartz Skylar earrings to go along with it which looked great.

Favorite RTR purchase!
The pictures of this dress do not do it justice! It is such a beautiful dress and color. My backup size was completely booked, so I was a little worried because many of the reviews say it runs small. Luckily, the size 8 was a perfect fit and I found it ran pretty true to size. I also rented the Kendra Scott magenta Danielle earrings. I got so many compliments on the dress and earrings all night long. I will definitely rent this dress again!

I love everything about this dress! It is comfy, not too short, and can easily be dressed up or down. The material is a little thicker than I expected. Definitely order a size down for your backup size. I am 5'8 and typically wear a size 6 or 8 in dresses. The medium in the dress was huge on me, but the small fit perfectly. I will definitely rent again!

I wore this dress to an outdoor concert and to dinner another night. This dress can easily be dressed up or down. I decided to wear the dress off the shoulders, but it looked cute worn either way. I am 5'8 and the length of the size M was perfect. I would order your regular size then a size down as your back up size. Perfect summer dress!

I loved wearing these Kendra Scott earrings! At first I was worried that they would be too heavy from reviews, but I had no problems.

Beautiful colors!
I rented this Trina Turk dress for an outdoor wedding. The colors are even more beautiful in person! I got compliments all night long. I wore this July 4th weekend, but the colors were not obnoxiously red, white, and blue. I would recommend ordering a size down for your back up size. Both the sizes 6 & 8 fit me, but I went with the 8 because I knew I would be dancing, eating, etc. I wish I could keep this dress!

This was my first of my many RTR purchases, and I was so pleased! This top is the perfect top for the summer! It's trendy, but classic. The size M was already reserved so I had to rent the size L. It was a little big, but not too noticeable. It's super flattering and comfortable. I wish I could keep it!
