Loved it
I had this sweater at part of Unlimited and I was sad to send it back. It is the epitome of the winter sweater, made from extremely thick yarn that was sometimes hot, and the style was sometimes boxy depending on what pants I wore with it. It caught a lot of eyes and I was complimented many times for it, and many people asked if it was homemade. There was a pull on the right side but other than that the XS was in good condition.

Size up. Not a dress for small chested people
I wore this to a formal Persian wedding. I usually wear a 0 in BCBG but I could not get the size 0 dress over my hips (other reviews have alluded to this). So I wore the 2. The waist fit fine, the length was a tad bit too long but not really a problem (I wore heels), but the top part, including the armholes, was too big, even with my biggest and most padded push up bra. I tried to tape the dress to the bra and to my shoulders but there are pictures where the bra and the tape are peeking out. I have small shoulders and I am a 34B, maybe someone with larger breasts or frame would not have this problem but if you have similar measurements to me then I would advise you to be cautious of this dress.

Not impressed
Not impressed with these particular Spanx. They do smooth things out but they are too long for most of the dresses that I have rented from this website. I prefer my shaping pieces from Assets by Spanx (available at Target) which do the same thing for half the price.

Great dress!
I rented this for tea service at the Taj Hotel. I usually wear a 0, and I wore the 0 and it fit me perfectly. It fit especially well across the chest (I wear a 34B). I wore with black tights but it was long enough to wear without any tights. Great dress!!

Good!
I rented for a bridal shower. I am usually a 0 and I intended to wear the 0 but the button on the back popped off when I was putting it on, so I had to wear the 2. The 2 was a little poofy in the chest (I am a 34B) but it looked fine. I am almost 5'3" and the dress hit just a few inches before the knee.

Great, conservative dress
I rented this dress for an engagement family hosted by a conservative family in the dead of New England winter. I wore with black tights and black heels. I was happy with the dress, but some things I would like to mention include the smallish armholes - I am petite and the shoulders/arms were a bit snug, so someone with larger shoulders will definitely have a problem. The gold button detailing was very nice, but some of the buttons were very loose. The torso does fit a little funny, it felt like it was too short but at the same time had a lot of extra bunchy fabric. This is good for hiding a tummy, but the way the fabric flowed was a little awkward.

"Let me guide u 2 the purple rain. Purple rain, purple rain..."
As a big Prince fan, this dress was calling out to me. I wore to a work holiday party. The 0 fit in almost every way and would've been fine if it were all I had, but it was skin tight in the backside area - too tight for this conservative affair - so I was more comfortable wearing my backup size, the 2. I also wore with a padded brassiere and control top tights. The model's picture doesn't do any justice to the beautiful black jacquard detail - I was complimented quite a bit on this. I would be happy to rent this dress again. R the R is such an innovative and helpful service. Dress shopping at the mall was once a huge drag, and an expensive ordeal, but I will probably only rarely buy dresses now that R the R is on the scene.

Did the trick
I am somehow currently lacking a black clutch in my wardrobe so I rented this one for my work's holiday party. It was a great, classic black clutch that did the trick. Held all my essentials with no problem.... iPhone, small wallet, keys, lipgloss. There's a gold chain tucked inside that converts this clutch into a proper handbag. The fabric of the cluch itself was very sleek, but I did think the rhinestone detailing was a cheap production. If it weren't for the Kate Spade label I would've thought this item came from Claire's or Express, just proves that sometimes with these high-end labels you are paying for the name, not the quality. A sample of a Victor & Rolf perfume was tucked inside, which was a very nice touch. Thanks R the R!
