Cute summer skirt
I wore this skirt a couple of times on vacation, and loved it! It's not too short so appropriate for my age, I wore it during the day with a long black tank and flat sandals. Really considered keeping/ buying it but it's quite expensive. Highly recommend!

Well made, gorgeous color
I ordered this dress for a cruise in Southeast Asia, was just about to pack it when my daughter said she needed a dress for her 30th birthday party. So not only did the dress look great on me, it looked fabulous on her! It's not often that a 30 year old and a 61 year old can look great in the same dress! This dress is made of beautiful fabric that is substantial and fully lined, and the slit in the front makes it sexy without revealing anything. And the color really pops. Highly recommend!!

bold beautiful colors
This dress is made out of the typical fuzzi fabric, light, stretchy but not clingy. The dress is beautiful and bright and versatile, can be worn with sandals or even flip flops for a casual, beachy scene or with a higher heel for an elegant dinner or party. It is so comfortable, it barely feels like you have anything on. I am usually a small but got the medium and it fit perfectly. Sorry ladies, but I'm keeping this one for a while!!

Love it
I love Sachin and Babi, great design and quality fabrics, and this dress is no exception! The fabric is substantial so the only see thru is the bell sleeves and bottom. I wore this to a rooftop party in Miami and it was perfect with just the right amount of warmth to keep me comfortable. The fabric is stretchy and not terribly clingy, so it was comfortable as well. I am usually a size 6 and the small fit perfectly.

Gorgeous red jumpsuit
This was not something I would usually buy but I do like to experiment with fashion ( one of the many reasons I love RTR) so I give it a try. I absolutely loved this piece, it was flattering with the perfect little peplum to hide holiday bloating! It was even the right length, usually most pants are too long on me because I am 5'2. And an absolutely gorgeous red color, perfect for the holiday and certain to stand out in a crowd. My husband complimented me several times during the evening, as did others. This is definitely a winner!

Fab on NYE
I loved this dress!!! It fit so beautifully, I didn't need a bra, and no plunging neckline! The sheer areas at the midriff and bottom of the skirt made it super sexy, without being super revealing. It was not a heavy dress, so was perfect for a caribbean New Year's Eve party. I recommend renting this dress for a formal affair, it is a show-stopper.

Great fall piece
This dress was way too short on me, so I wore it with skinny jeans as a tunic and it looked great! The fabric was in great shape, did not appear worn. Great fall dress/top.

Statement dress
This dress is so beautiful, and fit me so well. I know for a fact that it was seen on the runway recently, and currently being sold for $1800. It is a midi length and was a bit long on me, but I wore ridiculously high heels so it worked. You will definitely be seen in a crowd in this dress as it is a bright, beautiful cherry red and almost costume like. The details on this dress such as the dramatic long sleeve and the button detailing make it a one of a kind dress. If you are looking for a dramatic entrance, then this is the dress to try!!

Beautiful, sexy dress for a dinner in Roma
My husband took me to Rome for my birthday, and I wore this fabulous dress for the occasion. It is made of very heavy material and literally fit like a glove. But beware, it will be an evening of holding the belly in, as this dress shows off every curve. The thing that I really liked about the dress is that it really holds the breasts in place, and flattens them somewhat, which I appreciate given that I an big busted. It is also higher cut in the front, so no cleavage is revealed. I loved this dress, and RTR!!

Great transition dress
This dress is made of a wool fabric, so is heavier than it looks. This would make it a great dress to transition to autumn. I loved the style and fit, and its just a bit more interesting than a plain LBD. The length was just above the knee for me so would be shorter on most others. I wore this to a dinner in NYC and felt very put together and stylish.

Beautiful dress
This dress was so very beautiful, made out of a heavy material but with lace on back and sleeves that lightened the look. I bought this to wear to a ballet in Russia but my trip was cancelled unexpectedly so I had to return it unworn. So disappointing!!

Great summer dress
I loved the lines and asymmetrical hem of this dress, sophisticated with a bit of fun. It was a bit big on me, probably could have sized down on this one, but it was so comfortable I could have worn it to bed (but I didn't, haha). My husband liked this one alot too. This would be a dress that I would like to own.

Nice top
This is a beautiful top, it is a heavy silk material that is beautifully made. I should have read the other reviews and sized down because it was very big on me, but I wore it with skinny jeans and heels and got a few compliments on it. I wore it with a strapless bra but the thick straps should hide a regular bra well.

Cute dress
I like the style of this dress, but it runs large so was a bit baggy on me, which was not flattering to my shape. I did wear it twice though, once out with my husband who liked the dress (and thought the unlimited idea was very clever, BTW!) and then to work. It is a versatile dress, can be dressed up with heels and down with flats or sandals. I would size down when renting.

Very fun, edgy jacket
I chose this jacket for an unlimited choice because the weather has been cool, and I wore it many times. It was fun, cool, and an item I wouldn't buy for myself, but I enjoyed playing with it for a while. It did run a bit small in the chest area, but I wore it open and it was perfect. It was made well and of good quality.

Beautiful color, well made, fit me beautifully. Lots of compliments when worn. The length was longer than I would choose so I wore it with very high Jimmy Choo's, which completed the outfit. I would highly recommend renting this dress.

Meh
This was a nice top, interesting design, and quality was decent. It was very long for a top, which is why the low rating, I wore it with black skinny jeans but it wasn't the best look on me, would probably be better on a taller girl.

Beautiful, comfortable; perfect dress!
I wore this dress for a black tie wedding in NYC, and it was just perfect! I actually rented 2 dresses to make sure that I had a dress that fit/ looked well on me, and both of them were beautiful. This dress was snug in the bust area so it didn't migrate south during the evening, and so comfortable in the mid section. I am not quite 5'2 so the reg length was still a bit long even with killer high heels. The dresses arrived in beautiful condition with just a light touch up with an iron. Anytime I received a compliment that evening (which was often) I made sure to mention RTR!!

Great summer dress
This dress fit perfectly. The fabric was cotton but was lined throughout so full coverage even without a bra. I wore this to an elegant dinner in East Hampton and it was the perfect dress for the occasion. My only complaint was the rental price, which I feel should be lowered once the retail item is on sale in the stores.

Pretty color, boring style
The dress was OK, but nothing special or interesting. The front of the dress was held together with one single stitch, which became loose during dinner and then opened up to expose my bra. Embarassing! It looks better with a thin belt around the waist, which is not included. Not my favorite RTR.

Beautiful dress, not made for ample breasts
The dress is beautiful, excellent quality material. I tried it on for my husband and he loved it, but I was uncomfortable showing so much cleavage. The sleeves do not go on the shoulders, which may have contributed to the lack of coverage in the front. It is a lovely dress, just not for my body type

Love, love, love this dress
Gorgeous fabric, perfect fit. I wore it to my 34th anniversary dinner, and my husband loved it! This was my favorite RTR, and I really didn't want to send it back. It is long, below my knee because I am not tall, but with high platform shoes it worked perfectly. Vera Wang sizes her dresses generously, so not tight at all. Recommend it highly!!

Great novelty dress
I loved the pattern of this dress, the back is solid black which one might not be aware of from the picture shown. The top and bottom of the dress fit well, but the waist was tight, which made the dress not fall as smoothly as I had hoped. I wore it anyway, and was told that I won for best dress of the night!!

Great summer dress
I wore this dress to a party on a hot summer night inNew England, and it was perfect!! The color is so bright and beautiful, and fit me perfectly. The fabric is a very thin cotton without lining and enough room in the top for a woman with ample breasts. It arrived quite wrinkled, however, and needed to be ironed, but looked great after that. I got a lot of compliments all night and maybe a couple of new RTR clients!!
