Gorgeous maternity dress!

I rented this dress to wear for my birthday dinner when I was ~5 months pregnant with twins. Both sizes showed up with tags still on, which was amazing! I felt like the skirt was a bit clingy so I went with the XL instead of the L for a little bit of extra room. I paired it with a tank top to keep things reigned in, and added navy tieks because none of my other shoes fit by then.... Got so many compliments and really wished I didn't have to send the dress back, even though it was much fancier than I would wear regularly. Definitely made this very pregnant mommy feel pretty for once!

Super cute for a friend's baby shower!

At 15 weeks with twins I had a nice-sized bump already and was ready to accentuate it for a baby shower with a bunch of my friends (not so much for work at that point). This dress was super cute and flattering, not to mention comfortable. I had already put on 20+ lbs with the pregnancy by then, but didn't feel self-conscious in this dress at all. I paired it with black leggings and knee-high burgundy boots as it was early February and still very cold here in Western NY. Would totally rent this again if I hadn't cancelled my RTR unlimited shortly after this event...

Really pretty, a bit thin for NY in November though!

I really loved the look and material of this dress, as well as the silhouette. I prefer my dresses/skirts to be at least knee length, especially for work, so this was perfect in that aspect. Unfortunately it was too tight to be able to button over my chest, and I had some issues with the buttons (which go the full length of the dress) gaping when I sat down. I wore a black slip of sorts underneath to cover this up, though I didn't realize until after the fact that it was a little bit sheer at my chest... I would definitely go up at least one size for full busted ladies. It's hard to see in pictures, but the dress is a gorgeous navy, with black embroidered dots and embellishments. I would rent this one again in a different size, and for a slightly less freezing time of year in Western NY!

Cute and comfortable!

I rented this for Thanksgiving week, so I ended up wearing it to work one day, and then a few times while I was on vacation. My favorite outfit that I paired it with was black skinny jeans, a black turtleneck, and grey booties. With the belt and everything, this was a very forgiving silhouette. The only slight issue I had with it was that occasionally, the neck would lay funny and show part of the lining underneath. Overall I absolutely loved this piece! It was out of my comfort zone, but that's what Unlimited is AMAZING for. Would rent this or a similar piece again, for sure!

Cute bag, but much smaller than I anticipated.

I rented this bag to travel for Thanksgiving, thinking I would be able to put a lot of stuff in it. It was considerably smaller than I anticipated (smaller than my everyday bag by a lot), but had a good number of pockets to organize my things. The leather itself was nice quality, but I wasn't a huge fan of the bits that hung down. When I did fill it up with things, the shoulder strap just seemed like it wasn't thick enough for the weight. Overall a nice bag, but not what I was looking for.

Cute and comfortable maxi!

I rented this for work/everyday and also to have as a backup for my anniversary in case the other dress I rented didn't come in. I ended up wearing it to work one day and to our local farmers' market on the weekend. The back is super cute, but I had to wear a sweater over it for work. The strap around the back of the neck is stretchy, but the ones that come up from the back to meet it aren't, so they end up laying a bit funny. It's most noticeable when wearing something over it. The belt didn't stay tight very well, but was really cute with the dress. Also it had pockets! You can't wear a normal bra with this one, but I wore it with sticky cups to work and without any bra for the weekend. The extra fabric in the front and slightly tighter lining is really conducive to not needing a bra!!

Cute, but definitely not a favorite

I felt like the waistline on this dress was a bit strange - it comes up around the natural waist in the front but is closer to the hips in the back. I loved the pleated skirt, but the knit material on the top was a bit strange. Would really like this if the top were a different material and it didn't have the high low waistline.

Super fun princess skirt (AND POCKETS!)

I wore this to work with a pair of yellow wedges (and I think a sweater...) to give some extra height. Did end up stepping on it myself a couple of times and having a coworker step on the skirt once. The top is a slightly stretchy material and the skirt is nice and light and flowy, which makes for a fun combination. I liked this one with the belt and of course loved that it had pockets! Did not want to send back.

Really pretty, and roomier than expected!

I really liked this bag, and was surprised that I preferred to use the short straps, as the longer one made the bag hang a bit funny sometimes. I ended up keeping this one for a couple of weeks and really hated to send it back! This is a beautiful, luxurious bag that is also a perfect neutral.

Great anniversary dinner dress!

This dress showed up literally as I was getting ready to go get dressed for my first wedding anniversary dinner. I lean more towards fit and flare, midi length dresses but wanted something sexy for my husband. This dress definitely fit the bill! I paired it with over the knee black boots and added a jean blazer for dinner since it was chilly. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but was not disappointed!

Cute, comfy dress for work. Beware of wrinkles (and gaps)!

First, forgive the work bathroom selfie. I am the worst about remembering to take pictures in the cute things I rent. I got an email before my order shipped letting me know the belt for this dress hadn't been returned, but decided to have them send it anyway. The dress arrived a bit wrinkled at the bottom of the skirt, but I wore it to work anyway. I added a white shrug, and burgundy belt and Tieks, as well as a nude tank underneath. I realized shortly after getting to work that the buttons on the skirt gaped when I sat down. I promptly covered up with a blanket while sitting at my desk and made a mental note to put on a slip when I went home for lunch. On the way back to the office, I got stuck in a downpour and got soaked, which did not help with the already growing wrinkle issue. Overall, the dress was really cute, but may or may not be one I would rent again. Oh, one major upside I almost forgot: it does have pockets!!

Pretty, but oh so heavy!

I rented two dresses for a wedding weekend and was able to wear these with both of them. They were definitely larger than I expected and quite a bit heavier. Even with the backs on tight, I found that they drooped a bit, and my earlobes were tired by the end of the night. Worked out well but probably will not rent again.

So pretty I don't want to send it back!

I ordered this my first week with unlimited and was not disappointed! It came very slightly wrinkled on the skirt, and without the belt (I was emailed before it shipped to let me know and make sure that was okay). Thankfully I had a leather belt that worked well with the color scheme. The fit is true to size. I found a slight issue with the buttons at the chest gaping, but barely. Also, IT HAS POCKETS!! Zipper was slightly difficult to get up, and I couldn't for the life of me manage to hook the hook directly under my armpit, but thankfully my husband was able to assist. Having a hard time not just keeping this one, but will definitely rent again!

Perfect rehearsal dinner dress!!

I was a bit worried, as my backup size 8 wasn't available, but I loved this dress and desperately wanted to wear it for my rehearsal dinner, so I rented it anyway. Thankfully, the 6 was just slightly snug on my ribcage and chest area, but fit wonderfully otherwise. Nothing a pair of Spanx couldn't smooth out! I paired it with some nude open-toed pumps and the ivory flower brooch (which happened to match perfectly!! no one could tell it hadn't come with the dress) that had been my late grandmother's. Other than that I wore a pearl bracelet and earrings, as the dress didn't need much. I was absolutely thrilled with the dress and how flowy the skirt was. Would definitely rent this one again a million times over!

A bit much for me

I rented these to go with a very classic ivory dress for my rehearsal dinner and decided they were just a bit too much. They were probably ~4 inches long in total and didn't quite go with my outfit. Too bad.

Beautiful bridal shower dress!

I wanted something floral but not too dressy for my Hawaiian luau inspired shower. This dress was gorgeous and felt lovely on! I am usually between a 6 and an 8 (probably leaning towards an 8 at the moment), but rented the 4R and 6R after reading the reviews about sizing down. The 4R fit beautifully! I added a belt to cinch the waist a bit and give it some shape. It was 90+ that day and over 80 inside where the party was, and I was definitely warm. The dress itself is pretty thin and breezy, but the lining wasn't breathing very well, and the length was a bit much when sitting in such a hot room. I wore a stick on bra as the shoulders and slit in the back don't lend themselves to wearing a normal bra. Will definitely rent this again for another event - hopefully a bit of a cooler one.

I think my ears are too small...

I've been dying to try the ear cuff trend for a while, and decided that my bridal shower was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I think my ears are a bit too small, or the cartilage starts too far down the earlobe, as I had a hell of a time getting the cuff part to hook to my ear and thus stay on. They were a bit bigger than I had expected, and didn't seem to fit my ears quite right. Otherwise, they were very pretty and went nicely with the dress I rented for my shower.

Pretty for a church wedding, but oh so hot for July!!

I am usually between a 6 and an 8, so I rented both. I was able to get into the 6 and get it zipped, but found that I couldn't actually walk due to how tight the skirt was. The 8 gave me much more room to move, but seemed to poof out at my waist a bit more, in a less-than-flattering way. I felt very nicely covered for the ceremony in a Catholic church, but the dress was VERY thick (like brocade fabric with a lining), and a bit difficult to move in. Mostly, it was raising my arms that was a challenge with the cap sleeves. The chest was also a bit tight, making it difficult to take deep breaths. That being said, the color was gorgeous, and I absolutely LOVED the pockets!!

Super comfy and a very different look!

My fiance was nervous when I told him I had rented a jumpsuit to wear to Easter Brunch. Surprisingly, he really liked the outfit once I had it on. I added an elastic belt, as I didn't feel like the waistband of the jumpsuit itself added enough definition at the waist. I also LOVED the pockets! I rented the SL and MR, and found that the MR was actually much longer in the body and therefore had a lot of extra material in places that were undesirable. I ended up wearing the SL with black flats and a necklace I had rented and was very pleased! The sleeves themselves aren't quite full length and were probably the most restrictive part of the outfit. I had some trouble with the zipper when it came to getting it past all of the seaming at the waist. I've never worn a jumpsuit before, but this one was a really great rental to try it out with! Would definitely rent again!

Made me feel so gorgeous!

I should've listened to other reviewers and sized up to accommodate my bust. The dress was a bit tight there and made it look like I had 4 boobs if I wasn't careful. Otherwise, I was in love! The skirt flared beautifully and made me want to twirl, and it was a fantastic length. Paired it with boots because it was -4 here and snowy for my Valentine's date with my fiance. This was my first Rent the Runway experience and I will definitely be doing it again!!
