Sweater is meant to have close fit.
I loved this sweater! It is more comfortable than I would have expected (the fabric on the sleeves makes it feel roomy there). I normally wear a small, and the small fits perfectly, but it is a close fitting style. I am long waisted. The sweater hit just below my belt. That said, I wore a thin black camisole underneath, which may be why length was not an issue for me. I am very petite on top (shoulders and chest); this may also be part of the reason it worked.

Accessories are key
This dress is really cute and memorable. That said, my arm tights, slip (to prevent static), and statement belt were all key components to the final look. I loved the dress and will wear again before returning.

Wear a cami or watch out!
This is a cute dress and I received several compliments, but thank goodness I wore a fitted cami underneath. It was windy the night I wore this dress and the whole front completely opened up on me. My whole upper torso would have been exposed without the layer!

Loved it so much I bought it!
This dress is very flattering and comfortable. I wore it over a fitted turtleneck and will probably wear it most this way, but the sweater material is not at all itchy, so I also would not hesitate to wear this without a layer underneath. I'm not sure I agree that this dress is only for cold weather. Living in Chicago, I think I will be able to wear this in all but the hottest of months.

Gorgeous dress, secure fit!
This dress was so amazing! Normally a dress like this would gape on my body and make me feel very exposed on top - not the case with this gown. I wore no bra and felt both supported fully covered despite the dramatically low neckline. The straps were comfortable for me all night, but with my small chest, I was getting more support from a snug fit through the ribcage vs. lift from the straps. My first RTR formal affair experience was a complete success! (I picked this out in a store on a whim as part of my unlimited membership; so much more fun than wearing a repeat from my closet!)

Fun, unique dress!
This was something I picked up in store when my original rental did not fit. It is true to size (and pear shape friendly). The picture doesn't do the dress justice. It was figure flattering and comfortable - a really fun rental!

If you have a long torso, size up.
I wanted to like this, but it did not fit my body. The 6L was too short in the torso. I think the 8 would have been too big, but maybe not. I did not wear the piece.

Fun sweatshirt!
This was a great unlimited pick - not something I'd buy, but a fun piece that added some freshness to my casual wardrobe. Sleeves were very long. Otherwise true to size.

Pretty floral print
Pros: print is very pretty and style is flattering and forgiving. Smocked back makes fitted style comfortable and ruched front hides tummy imperfections. Cons: the cut of the top as a whole is sort of strange. The shape of the bottom edge, in particular, is odd. There is a notch on the left hem that makes finding the right bottom to pair with it challenging. I tried about 5 different options before settling with the look pictured here. Overall, I felt it was fine for my event (fancy brunch), but I won't rent this top again.

Great top! Dress up or dress down.
Loved this top! I wore it with a white skirt to a business meeting, and then I threw on boyfriend jeans for a fun casual look. I usually wear a small but was happy to have the medium. It fit well, but the elastic inside sleeve is snug. Material is silkier than I had expected, but fabric actually makes the piece more versatile!

Strange fit on top; fabric shows everything
This dress just didn't work for me. It was the right size, but the top was really loose which made it unflattering in the front (somewhat hidden by cowl) and the back, where the loose fabric made my shoulders look hunched. Also - beware, this fabric shows every lump and bump. Photo was taken with "optimized shape wear," but seams on the shape wear were even visible from some angles! I did not wear this dress.

Comfy sweater skirt
I wasn't originally expecting a skirt that was knitted. The style was flattering and comfortable. I am usually a medium on the bottom (6/8). The medium worked, but I think the small might have been better.

Fun top!
This was a really fun top with major color punch! I am often a size 4 top, sometimes a 6; the 40 worked well for me.

Beautiful jacket; very small!
I loved this jacket (seeing it on the site was actually a big part of why I finally signed up for RTR Unlimited). It is, however, very tight. I was able to wear it (unzipped), but despite the fact that my shoulders are very narrow and my forearms are very slender, it was somewhat uncomfortably tight on both. A medium probably would have been better, but that size wasn't available. Still - I loved wearing this piece. If the fit was better, I would keep it in a heartbeat!

Great LBD with impact!
This dress was really flattering and comfortable. I got lots of compliments and felt very stylish all evening. I would definitely rent this style and size again.
