Nice everyday top
Nice all purpose everyday top. The drape style is flattering and the item is cut so that it provides plenty of coverage. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because it was ever so slightly itchy.

Meh.
I wore this two or three times. It was slightly ill-fitting...a little snug through the shoulders and bust, but not so much so as to make it unwearable.

Perfect holiday season dress!
Very comfortable dress, stretchy and generously sized. Stripes fall in a very flattering pattern, and the touch of metallic thread makes it festive enough for parties, but still work-appropriate.

This blazer is perfect for the holidays.
Terrific piece. I'm short, and the sleeves were not too long at all. Fit comfortably through the shoulders and bust. There's a touch of stretch that makes it comfortable for all-day wear. One of my favorite pieces I've ever had from RTR.

Basic versatile navy blue dress.
I wore this to work and found it fine. I would say it runs true to size for RTR, small compared to "mall stores". The fabric is stretchy, it's a bit short, which could be an issue for taller women.

Lovely Sweater
This is a great sweater. The color is lovely - vibrant, but not TOO bright. The fabric is soft, not itchy, and warm but not too warm (a perfect spring/fall sweater). The cut is has a vibe that's a touch boxy, but not so boxy as to be shapeless and unflattering. I'll rent this again.

Not For Me
I wanted to like these, because they're very very comfortable. So much so that I THOUGHT I liked them at first, and wore them. But after a couple of hours, I look a closer look in the mirror and realized that even the the size was the correct one for me, the cut and print just me look even shorter than I actually am, and squat and dumpy. The fabric wrinkles and stretches easily, and even though my item arrived new with tags, one of the bars on the hook and bar closure almost immediately came almost all the way off. They would probably look nice on a taller, slimmer woman.

Fun retro inspired piece
I enjoyed wearing this. It does run a bit big (normally I size up in blazers because I have a large bust, but went with a 10 here and it was roomy), but that's the nature of the style. Sleeve are long but look nice rolled up. Lovely fabric and lining, and the shoulder pads create a more streamlined effect than the blazer would otherwise have. Obviously a cropped, boxy blazer is a very specific look, so if you're looked for a more traditional business suit style jacket, it's not this one. A fun, versatile piece.

Five Star Dress
I rented this to wear to a daytime work event, and it was perfect. The fabric has a great feel and drapes/moves beautifully. The neckline is flattering. Length was great for me. It does run a touch big - the large worked great for me, but I would have liked to have a tried a medium as well - but overall a terrific dress. Will rent again.

Meh
I thought this skirt looked so cute in the photos, but in person it was dowdy and didn't quite fit right (not really a size issue, more that it was cut strangely through the hips and waist). The fabric is a thicker denim-type cotton. I sent it back without wearing. Not good for a short, curvy woman.

Fine striped top
Bright and bold, very comfortable, fits true to size. To me, given the $200ish price tag, a perfect example of why RTR Unlimited exists. In no world would I ever think this top was worth paying $200 for, but it's fun for work or casual wear.

Lovely Blouse
I loved this pretty floral blouse - so far it's the only item I've had from RTR Unlimited that I've worn more than once before returning. The print is pretty, the neckline is flattering, and the ties at the cuffs are a nice touch. It does run a little big, but I found that the cut was such that it still worked just fine.

Well-made dress
I was excited to try this dress because I'm constantly getting Draper James ads on social media, and have been curious about quality and fit. This is a very well made dress - the knit is thick and falls nicely (sometimes sweater dresses have a tendency to cling). I liked the neckline - the buttons are functional, and with most left unbuttoned it creates a flattering V. But overall, the fit was a bit too loose and dumpy. I rented a size L, which is my most typical RTR size, but the fit is more aligned with mall-type stores than many of the brands carried here, so M may have been better, but it may just be kind of a shapeless sack in any size. Also, I wore it in the spring with flats, and suspect it may be better styled with tights and boots in the winter.

Pockets!
I wore this to a dressy work event, and was very happy with it. The sleeves, length, and ability to wear a regular bra with it made it work perfectly for a situation where I needed to present as festive, yet professional. The fact that it has ample pockets is the best.

Lovely Dress
I rented this and one other dress as options for an evening semi-formal work event. I ultimately chose to wear the other because it has pockets, which are extra handy considering the circumstances, but I did really like this, and absolutely will consider it for future dressy events. Note that it does run small: based on other customer reviews, I rented the XL, when typically I would wear an L or even M in most "typical mall/department store" brand dresses. The XL fit beautifully. It's also quite short, which isn't a problem for 5'2" me, but could be for taller women. Really nice overall, though, and I hope to have another occasion for it in the near future.

Great Blazer
I love this blazer. Very flattering with a large bust; not boxy, but not too tight. Sleeves are long for a short person like myself, but can be rolled or pinned. Perfect with jeans for a casual Friday look.

Super cute spring dress!
One of my favorites from RTR so far. Runs true to size, if not a little loose in the shoulders and hips, though gaps just a bit in the bust (but I have a way larger than average bust). Perfect length for a shorter woman to wear to work - just above the knee). No stretch, but breezy and comfortable, has pockets!

DVF, Always a classic!
I love this dress. It perhaps runs a little small, but the fabric provides stretch and is forgiving (I had it in a 10, the recommended size, but if I order it again, I'd probably go with the 12). Perfect classic lines, good for a large bust, comfortable. I did pin the top in order to wear it without a cami.

Good, not great.
Very cute dress, runs a bit small. Probably my error, but it looked to me in the photos as though it would have some stretch, which it does not. It's quite short, which is fine for me because I'm only 5'2, but if you're taller it might be too short. I'd describe the color as more of a "mulberry" than the cranberry that it appears to be in the photo.
