Perfect, classic look for a winter gala in NYC!
I'm such a fan of this designer; I hope R2R offers more of her dresses. This dress fits like a glove and turns heads everywhere you go. It's sexy & classic. Many compliments! I'm typically a size 4-6 and the 42 was my larger back up, but the 40 felt too constricting and I opted for more room to move, especially with a 5 course dinner to enjoy! Perfect length with 3" heels.

Fitted & Short!
The fit on this was a bit smaller than expected. This would have looked perfect on my 20-something self, but it was too short for a 40-something workday. Also not ideal for athletic frames - arms were tight and it pulled across the chest.

Gorgeous & fun!
I wore this for a winter formal and danced all night! Well supported through the torso, although a bit roomy in the top, I could have probably sized down for a tighter fit. Pair with a navy scarf to keep the chill away in the colder months.

Fun & comfortable! Perfect for relaxing on vacation.
I wore this to Disney with my family - felt great all day, then paired with a white crop sweater for colder evenings.

Sexy & flowing! One of my favorite Unlimited rentals!
I wore this for a night at the theater in NYC and felt absolutely incredible all night. Very comfortable - perfect fit and cut up top (although it may be a tight fit for larger busted ladies), not too snug through the torso and perfect, flowing flair. Sheer details in all the right places. It was if it were tailored to my frame. I received many compliments from friends and strangers all evening.

Charming and fun!
I wore this dress for a wine dinner and felt lovely all night. Fit great, tailored if not a bit loose thought the waist (important to enjoy five courses). It was a chilly spring evening so I paired it with a gauzy white wrap. Strapless bra required.

Perfect fit with a little flow.
This dress really is perfectly tailored. It has potential to be boxy, but the tacks by the waist pull it in just enough without it hugging around the waist too much. At my age, I can get away with a short skirt OR a fitted style, but not both. This dress was sexy and classy at the same time. Well suited for a creative casual work environment. I would also rent it again for date night.

Great feminine fit - perfect waistline and drape. Lots of compliments!
I agree with the other reviewers about the hanger issue. This dress is not ready to wear right out of the bag. The top is sweater fabric and the skirt is weighted with structure and layers. It arrived on a hanger with large bulges in the shoulders - it took a good five minutes to wrestle them down with the iron but ultimately worked out OK.

Cute with a lot of flair!
I love this brand and have always had fun, flirty experiences in their clothes. This dress was no exception, but more fitted through the torso than expected. I'm glad the cool fall weather gave me the chance to top it with a loose white poncho; I probably wouldn't have worn it alone without a sizing up.

Pretty & Easy!
I'm skeptical of shift-fits because they're sometimes a bit too boxy. This fit perfectly - not too fitted and not too loose. I wore it for a big presentation at work and felt confident for the entire two hours I stood in front of a crowd.

Fit yet flow-y, lots of compliments!
This did remind me a bit of my fancy silk PJs, but the tailored fit made it work-friendly. Very comfortable, although snug in the shoulders and arms, which is typical with an athletic build.

I wore this to give a presentation and received a lot of compliments!
This dress was out of my comfort zone - I generally don't like frills and ruffles. It got good reviews so I decided to give it a whirl. It fit like a dream and hit just above the knee line. I felt comfortable and pretty all day - a great confidence boost for a big day at work.

I love the concept and pattern of this dress more than I like the fit.
If I were an inch taller (just touching 5'6") and 5-10 lbs. lighter, this would be the perfect fit. It fits through the bodice and hips, but it's long and the arms are tight. I'm an athletic fit. I made due with platform sandals and a jean jacket, wearing it to work and a house party.

Flowing dress perfect for spring parties!
Wore this to a multi-course wine-tasting dinner and was thankful for the loose waist and elastic waistband! It fit perfectly and was very comfortable. I paired it with a white statement necklace and left my hair loose. Received lots of compliments all night long!

A lovely, flowing dress with creative details.
I wore this to a baby shower and also a work event and received lots of compliments on both accounts. Wrinkles easily and the hem is a bit long, but the open arms make up for it.

Great corporate dress. Add a suit jacket, some pearls and killer heels and you're ready to present.
Well tailored to my athletic shape and I loved the flirty skirt underneath. My only issue was that the navy color was tough to match - seemed both black and navy depending on the lighting. Ultimately, I had some navy & black heels that pulled it together with a black suit jacket.

I wore this to a 40th birthday party and post-party date night out on the town - fun & flirty!
I loved everything about this - it draped perfectly and the loose over shirt balanced the revealing nature of the miniskirt. My one concern was that the material was so thin I couldn't feel it my thick tights; I asked a friend to keep an eye out to make sure it wasn't riding up in the back.

Traveled well for an out-of-town presentation; kept it for a professional photo shoot!
Fit was a touch small in the sleeves but I have an athletic build with wide shoulders and large arms. Other than that, it fit like a dream! Thick fabric that was perfect for fall, but wearable for a cool evening in Florida. Lots of compliments.
