Elegant & super soft!
This cape is unlined, which is nice in that it is a super soft cashmere blend and has a little bit more movement than a lined garment. However, it is not especially warm, due to being unlined and because your arms are exposed. This cape would be comfortable for weather in the 50's, or possibly the 40's if you were very bundled up underneath. It looks fab with skinny pants or jeans, or a slim skirt.

Nice color but shapeless
The color is beautiful and the size is perfect for running errands, with enough room for a pair of shoes or a laptop as well as your other essentials. The shapelessness got to me. Think about how often you put your bag on a counter or the floor (or any time you put it anywhere except on a hook) - every time you do that, this bag flops open, because there's no structure and no real closure at the top.

Fun design.
Fits true to size and the styling is interesting. The quality is surprisingly low for a designer item - this sweater feels like any stiff polyester sweater from the mall. It was cute for a night out, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would actually pay retail for it.

This dress was perfect for my honeymoon in Greece!!
I wore this dress out multiple nights in Mykonos and Santorini. This is the perfect dinner and clubbing dress - stretchy and comfortable (room for pasta and gyros, as well as busting a move!). I'm 35-26-37 and normally wear a 4. The S fit snugly, with the bodycon effect I wanted. The print is gorgeous and lush in person.

SIDE. BOOB.
I did not end up wearing this. I waffled between the 2 and the 4, ordered the 2, and realized it would not have mattered, because it has ridiculous side boob issues. The 2 was tight across my bust (I'm 35-26-37). I would not recommend this dress for anyone but an A or B cup. If you are into the floaty, big arm hole, braless side boob peekaboo thing, this will be right up your alley.

I didn't end up wearing it.
I was debating between the S & M, and perhaps I should have gone with the S. Yes, the jacket is meant to be loose and boho, but in person, with wide sleeves and curved shoulders, it just looked shapeless. I tried it with jeans and then with a short dress and couldn't get excited about it. I'd love to see how other RTR'ers styled it to see if I missed something.

I didn't end up wearing this piece.
I rented this in July as part of my unlimited package, intending to wear it at my outdoor bridal shower, not realizing it was neoprene! I didn't end up wearing it, because neoprene seemed like a bad idea on a 90* day. :) It's gorgeous, more mint green in person. The neoprene really holds you in, so the sleeves can feel a little constricting. I'm 35-26-37 and usually wear a size 4. This fit snugly and had a really lovely bodycon fit. I would definitely rent it again in the spring, when the weather is cooler.

I wore this with black Vans and got so many compliments!
The fit is somewhere between true to size and a bit large. I usually wear a 4 and had plenty of room at the waist. The skirt is full and hits at the mid thigh. I wore J Crew chino shorts underneath so that I could bike in it, and with the full skirt, you would never know. A great dress for work or just running around.

I wore this to work and around the house before getting irritated with its many design flaws.
I rented this through the Unlimited program. It's very cute, but was missing one of the gems. It was tight on my wrist but not uncomfortable. The latch refused to stay latched, and repeatedly came undone throughout the day.

Spectacular. It fit perfectly, was comfortable, and stayed up (critical w/ strapless dresses)!
I wore this to a white glove event, the oldest and one of the best known parties in Philadelphia, and I could not have felt more a queen than I did sashaying down the stairs in this beauty. The color is flattering on pale winter skin and the bodice stayed in place without feeling tight. Absolutely perfect.

"Wow."
This dress was so perfect for the conservative formal event I attended. I'm 5'7", and wore a 6L-- it was a bit too long, even with 4" heels. Everywhere else, the dress fit like a glove. It's a versatile dress that will go over well in a mature crowd.

A knockout. True to size, a little generous at the waist and fitted across the lower stomach. It was said to me, "In the words of My Cousin Vinny, 'You did not blend in'. And that's a good thing." The dress was a universal hit, gasps, stares of envy, the whole thing. Strong recommend!
