Cute and comfortable but runs large
I had previously rented this dress in white, also in medium, and it was perfect for a 2 hour road trip and visit to a vineyard. Rented the black in the same size and it ran big, the bust and waist were extremely loose. I would've thought it was stretched out by someone but it still had the tags on. Size down in black!

Beautiful and different
I got compliments in this dress all night! Love different color and textures of the top and the bottom, and the rouching and the slit make it really special. There was some bunching in the back, but it didn't bother me too much. In formal dresses I typically wear a 6 or 8, but took a chance on the 4P since I'm short and need a petite length and it fit amazing. Was able to wear a strapless bra and didn't need any shapewear! Super comfortable dancing until 2am!

Fun fringe!
I got compliments on this sweater all night! The fringe is fun and it's super soft. It's on the cropped side but not too short. I did find the neckline a little strange, it's like half crew/half turtleneck. But overall would recommend!

Loved it!
This was one of my most favorite rentals in a while! It arrived to me with tags so I was tempted to buy, but figured I will just rent again later in fall! I am short so it was an appropriate length for me to wear for work, and I wore it with a boyfriend blazer and heeled sandals. Can't wait to rent again when it's cooler to wear with tights and booties! I usually wear either S or M, but always S in Equipment as it runs a little big.

Flattering shape and color!
I loved wearing this dress to a gala! The color was beautiful and it fit great. I wore a petite which was perfect since I'm 5'2. It also has some stretch and was super comfortable. I was able to wear a regular strapless bra and did put on some spanx just to smooth everything out. I usually wear an 8 or 6, and picked the 6 since it was the only one available in a petite, and it fit great!

Great print!
Loved this dress for work! The print was great and it mostly fit true to size. It did gap a little at the bust, and if it hadn't I probably would've bought it! Don't wear on a windy day, the skirt nearly blew up quite a few times!

Cute but not functional
The dress is super cute and I wish I could've worn it, but I could not lift my arms in the dress! There is no give and the construction of the sleeve does not allow for much movement. I do have a bigger chest so that may be a factor. If you are going to just stand and look pretty, it's a good choice! I had it in mind for a work event and it would not have been functional so had to send it back. Like most designer dresses it runs a little small...I ordered one size up from my usual size because that was the only one available, but would probably be good advice for anyone slightly between sizes.

Easy, cute dress!
I loved this so much I bought it! I rented with work in mind but I think this could also work for weekends as well! Since I'm shorter, the length was work appropriate and I got compliments as soon as I walked in. Definitely think it will work for a bridal shower I have coming up or even just a weekend brunch. The print is great for spring, summer and even into fall. I had some trouble getting it zipped by myself if I unzipped all the way, but when I unzipped only halfway then put it over my head it was fine.

I loved the colors and the open back of this shirt. I wasn't able to wear a bra but that was ok with me. The only part I didn't love was the bit of a bustle in the back...but lots of compliments! Perfect for lunch on the water!

Cute dress, low cut wrap
I rented this intending to wear at work, but I found the neckline too low cut even with a silk cami underneath. I ended up wearing it out to brunch and it was perfect for the occasion!

Amazing, but too long for me
I'm 5'2 and the size 8 was sadly way, way too long for me, but I loved this dress so much! The top has quite a bit of stretch and I'm certain I could've sized down to a 6, but I don't think it would've changed the length very much. Will be keeping my eye out in unlimited for the 6 petite! This dress can easily be dressed up for a wedding, or dressed down for a nice weekend brunch (would've worn it for a vineyard trip if the length had worked).

Cute for spring!
This was a great top to wear for spring! The silk felt great and I loved the colors. I did need to wear a cami under it as there were some openings around the buttons and it was lower cut for work. I paired it with a dark gray pant suit and it looked both professional and fun! I typically wear a medium shirt, but in Joie I usually wear small and that is what I went for here.

Great for work or play!
I got tons of compliments on this dress, especially on the color! I dressed it down a little bit for work with a boyfriend blazer and black pumps, but if could also be dressed up with strappy sandals and jewelry for a night out or a wedding. I ordered through unlimited and sized up because that was what was available, and it was a little baggy in the chest and waist, but I'm sure if you order you true size it would fit great.

Not for short girls
Unfortunately I had to send back this dress without wearing it because it was way too long. I am 5'2 and wore the 8 and it went to my ankles. I am used to dresses being a little long on me, but this one was so much different than pictured on the model. I also probably could've gone down to a 6 (the knit top has quite a bit of stretch) but I doubt it would have shortened it very much.

Adorable sweatshirt for brunch and shopping!
Rented this through unlimited to wear on New Years Day brunch and shopping in Georgetown. The sweater was adorable and comfortable. I ordered a size up from my regular size (L instead of M) because my regular size was not available. The sweater is on the cropped side, so it fit fine.

Comfy and cute!
I loved this dress so much and would even consider purchasing if I caught it on sale. I got tons of compliments and it was very comfortable. It was perfect for a day out trying on bridesmaid dresses (easy on and off) along with a bottomless brunch (the elastic at the waist is very forgiving!). Paired it was black booties and a leather jacket on a rainy but not too cold fall day. I wore the M but could've definitely worn the S if it had been available.

Wore for two weeks straight!
Loved these! I already knew a cat eye is a good shape for my face so this was an easy pick. The shade of brown is pretty dark and loved the gold accents, it adds some glamour. If I didn't already own a pair of brown sunglasses that I love, I may have kept them much longer.

Super cute but not right for summer!
I think I jumped the gun on ordering this in my Unlimited shipment, because while it was super cute it's just too hot in August in DC to wear a sweater dress! I also think it runs a little big. I am usually a M, sometimes S, but went the M this time. I felt like I was swimming in it and I hope it's available for me when the weather cools down and I know to get the S instead.

Cute but has obviously been worn many times
I've had my eye on this dress for a long time, and I'm glad I finally rented it. The color is beautiful and it is a nice length for a short girl like me! However, the dress has obviously been worn many, many times, as there was some pilling that made it look old. There are some significant shoulder pads that give the dress a nice structure, but can be a little annoying. I sized up because I read reviews that it was tight, but I definitely could have worn a smaller size.

Sexy but not revealing
I wore this dress in Vegas, where I wanted to look good, but I was also on a family vacation so didn't want to wear anything too revealing! The cutouts with the mesh overlay are the perfect compromise. I did end up renting a size up just because my regular size was not available, so it was a little big around the arms and neck, but it was super comfortable! Would definitely rent again if I needed a LBD!

Cool and chic
I really liked the look of this dress, sporty and cool, not like most things you see out. You can't really tell from the the picture, but there are some cool slits on the front and sides of the skirt portion. I also loved the pockets. The only issue I had was with the fit of the top. The sleeves were constantly falling off my shoulders. It was annoying, but otherwise enjoyed the dress for a night out of drinks and dancing.

Too long on my short frame
I rented this with hopes of wearing it to a concert, but I sent it back without wearing out. It was just too long on me (wore my normal size 8), hitting just a few inches up from my ankles, rather than a few inches down from my knees. The material was also pretty heavy and I think I would've been too hot at an outdoor concert in July if I did keep it.

Cool and comfortable on a hot summer day!
Wore this dress on the 4th of July for a full day of brunch, a movie, and rooftop fireworks. It was super comfortable for a full day of activities around the city. I loved it so much as an easy weekend dress, that I may buy it. The one flaw is that cut out in the back hit exactly where my strapless bra does, so I ended up going braless, but that was fine with me.

I like how it looks, but not how it functions
I love how the bag looked, but the bucket is truly just a bucket- with one small semi-pocket, everything tends to get lost in the bottom. I also found that the straps to be a little strange- the buttons and holes that go together don't line up properly when worn at its shorter length. Overall I enjoyed using the bag for a weekend, but not enough to keep it for longer.

You won't regret renting it!
I rented a size up (L instead of M) because that's what was available and I was dying for a leather jacket, so it was definitely a little big on me (sleeves especially). However, I got some compliments on the bigger fit so I would not recommend against going up a size if you really want it! The leather is beautiful and the lining is warm, but I think it can be worn well into spring.

Tons of compliments at work!
I picked this with unlimited because I thought it would be great for work. I got compliments from everyone in my office so I'd say it was a success! Plus I was able to zip it by myself in the morning, which is not always the case with my RTR dresses. My only issue was the arms- I am rather short but it wasn't the length of the arms, as much as how loose they were. They definitely did not hug my arms like they do on the model. But with that said, I would definitely consider renting again for a work event.

Great as clutch, not as great as crossbody
I loved this bag and considered buying it at first, but I am in the market for a crossbody and it just wasn't great as that. The straps are detachable, and unfortunately they kept detaching on me when I didn't want them to! It is pretty roomy inside for its small size, and would work great as a clutch, but it gets annoying how often the straps come off. Loved the gold snakeskin print though!

Perfect fall tote
I kept this bag for about two months, it was perfect for fall! Roomy enough to use to take things to work, but small enough that I could use it on weekend without feeling like I was lugging around everything I own. The color is beautiful, and clearly on trend right now as it has the pantone color of the year vibe. Was so tempted to purchase, but I sent back for others to enjoy.

Too big for small wrists
I have very small wrists so bangles are often a problem for me and this one was definitely on the too big side. It has a nice heavy quality, but that just helped it to slide right off my hand anytime I put my arm down, so it didn't ever make it out of my apartment. Too bad though, because it is cute!

I really like the combination of the gold, black, and white this necklace has. The black rope along the gold chain and black gemstones give this otherwise classic necklace an edge. I wore it both casually with a white-t and black shorts, as well as for work with a black suit dress.

Good for a night out!
This bag is very small, but it works for a night out where you don't want to carry much. I like that it has a chain in case you want to wear it crossbody. It got it around the same time I got the new iPhone 6...luckily it is just big enough for it to fit! But you won't get much more than that, maybe your ID, credit cards and one key!

I wore it more casually with jeans and white T and more formally at work with a black shift dress.

Got so many compliments!
This dress was definitely an attention grabber, I got compliments all night! The colors look a bit different than in the photos (more red than coral, a darker blue) but the pattern and embroidery are beautiful in person. The cotton is nice for hot weather; everyone else at the party I attended complained they were hot all night and I was fine. The one issue I had with the dress was the zipper- it seemed like both dresses had been altered so that the zipper was stitched closed for the last 2 or 3 inches, perhaps from previous damage? This made the dress very difficult to get on/off over the hips, but once it was on it fit fine. Wore a strapless bra because the straps did show a bit. It is quite short so I went with my size up for that extra bit of length. I'm going to scour the next RTR sale in case this comes up, would love to own!

Cute but too tight in the biust
I rented this dress as a back up, but couldn't end up wearing it. It was super cute, but it was just too tight in the bust. I could barely move my arms with the sleeves and tightness in chest so I went with my first dress instead. That was too bad because I actually ended up liking this dress better that the other one! It was quite short but since the top is modest it balances out. If you are busty, definitely size up!

These were the perfect sunglasses to get in my unlimited box right before a beach vacation! They are quality frames, and nice dark lenses for sun protection. The shape is a great cat eye and the color, while bold, was really fun for walking around the boardwalk. Definitely not everyday glasses, but great for a pop of color in the summer!
