Don't ignore advice about a large chest.
I'm a 36DD and my chest wouldn't fit in the 14. I'm usually a 12 and thought I could get away with it if I sized up. The size advice is spot on. Even if you size up, if you're over a C, your girls aren't getting in this thing. The color is washed out anyway so I wasn't too disappointed.

Great if you don't need to carry much
This is a cute little bag. Rebecca Minkoff has become my favorite bag designer through RTR. The construction is quality. I think that's why her bags are so heavy but it's not uncomfortable. This bag doesn't hold much. I had to do a magic act to get my essentials in there but if you're looking for small, this is super cute.

Need more jewelry like this on RTR
Most of the items here are statement pieces, which is understandable since many rent them as accessories to a formal dress, but for unlimited, this is the kind of piece I like. It's a bit of an IQ test getting it on, which I failed, but with a little help from my hubby I eventually did.

Very Professional
This is an extremely professional bag. You could use this similar to a briefcase. I didn't use it for my casual days but it was great for the office. It's a little boring, I didn't get a ton of compliments but it's well made and classic

Favorite bag ever
I received so many compliments on this bag. I mean like crazy amounts of people were commenting on it. No other bag I've gotten from RTR Unlimited has gotten this much attention. If you like pink (it's bubblegum but it appears muted on my monitor) and you don't mind attention, get it!

This dress was made for dancing
The dress runs large. I'm usually a 14 and I ordered a 14 and a 12. The 14 was like a different dress. The neckline cutout was very high and the waist didn't taper enough. So if you're looking to wow, size down. In the 12, the cutout was just in the right place and it the cut made me look tiny in the waist. It's easy to wear, and no shapewear was needed. It was comfortable for a 7 hr banquet. I will say that this dress is a little boring. I was hoping it would be shorter since you have full coverage in the arm and chest. It was knee length on me and I'm 5'6". The boring-ness could be cured by a little lower cutout for slight cleavage. However, when I got on the dance floor, this dress came alive. It swung just right and even in turns, it stayed down. This was a work party, so I was going for conservative and it was, I just felt like it was a little too boring.

Very short, hugs your curves.
This dress is very short. If you have a butt at all it rides up in the back and for me there was no way I could wear this. The good thing about this dress though is that the side color made my curves look amazing. If you're an hourglass, this is a perfect dress as long as you're either on the shorter side or the super short look is what you are after.

I was disappointed in how this fit. Didnt end up wearing.
I thought a 2x was actually going to be too big, since I'm a 16. It was such a strange fit. Too tight in some places, matronly in others. I dont know how such a tight dress can be matronly, but it sure was. When I tried it on and my 15 year old son said I looked like a lizard, the dress came off quickly.

Not too short, flattering, but big in bust
I ordered this as a second choice and it ended up being my first. I thought it was going to be too short, but it was perfect. I have a 38DD chest and I still had to pin the bust or else it just fell open. It was comfortable and classy. Loved it.

If you rent more than one dress a year, this pays for itself. I'm happy with my choice

I didn't end up wearing it because it was huge and too long. But it was gorgeous and high quality.
Heavy with a quality feel, but very large use only for a deep v dress or if wearing over a high neckline

Classy enough for my work event!
I wore this for a work party, so I wanted it to be classy and modest and that's exactly what it was. If you're looking for drop-dead sexy, this isn't the fit for that. It was so comfortable. I could dance like I was wearing sweats. While dancing, nothing rode up or fell out and I stayed covered. People compared to to something Jackie-O would wear, and I take that as a compliment! The fit is true to size but if your in between sizes, go down. Also, the outside bust seaming makes this a dress for large-busted women as the seaming would fall strangely if the cups were not filled. For large busted-women, the seaming makes it so the girls are covered, which I liked for this occasion.
