KILLER.
I rented this bad boy for work (at a dressy place where I can actually get away with this) and fell totally in love. I will more than likely be buying it before the end of the year! The fit of this blazer is great - oversized without feeling lumpy or unflattering - and the belt does wonders for the shape. It's fully lined, so you don't have to worry about itchy sequins. There wasn't too much shedding of sequins either, although I did notice some rogue ones lying around the office for a few days.

Gorgeous - just super small!
I was so desperate to rent this romper that I immediately grabbed an XL rather than waiting for my standard M - and boy am I glad that I did. The XL was super tight on and the fabric had absolutely zero stretch. BUT - once I had it on, I was totally in love. The fabric is gorgeous and high-quality and I love the contrasting lapels and pattern details. The sleeves were a little tight at the shoulder and wrist but not unbearable. One callout - beware the neckline! The photo is deceptive - it actually went as low as about an inch above my bellybutton (especially when sitting). I wore a bodysuit underneath and was fine, but was a little surprised when I first put it on.

One of my all-time faves!
I have rented this dress multiple times - for work, for a job interview and for everyday wear. Each and every time I adore it and kick myself for sending it back. The fit of this dress is super comfortable and flattering - the ties hit right at the natural waistline and really cinch everything in beautifully. The fabric is very stretchy without becoming see-through or wrecking the pattern as well as still somehow maintaining a luxe vibe. All in all, you need this dress. ABSOLUTELY.

Gorgeous color - not so sure about the fabric.
I rented this dress for work purely for the color - I'm a sucker for any form of pumpkin orange! Seeing it in-person had me even more excited - it's exactly the same color as the photo! The neckline is super interesting and the tie at the waist was a great touch - it helped keep everything cinched in nicely. The zipper is a little snug at the armpit, but nothing too unbearable. The only qualm I had with this piece was the fabric quality. It was soft and didn't wrinkle on my commute, but it really screamed "bridal party" rather than "designer" - if that makes sense. That being said, I think it would work great for a wedding or other special occasion.

So cozy and cute!
I rented this jacket for when the weather started to drop in California (the low 50's - can you even imagine?) and am so glad that I did. This coat is so cozy and cute and I found myself wanting to wear it all day long, even when the coastal weather suddenly shifted to 80 degrees outside. It is very oversized in how it's designed, so a size L hit me just above the hip - and I'm 5'10" if that helps visualize anything. The arm length, on the other hand, does not reflect this oversized style and the sleeves hit me just behind the wrist. To be totally honest, I'll probably just buy this coat next time I rent it. I LOVE IT.

Cute, but VERY low cut.
I rented this dress for work - I figured with the midi length and a pretty conservative v-neckline it would be workable. HOWEVER - the v-neck is actually quite deep and the sleeves did not want to stay on. After jerry-rigging the sleeves and pinning the back to keep it up, I loved this dress. The fit is very flattering and the fabric is very breathable and comfortable.

The perfect midi!
I rented this dress on a whim for work - and I am so glad that I did. While I was a little concerned with the length (midis tend to be knee-length on me), this dress totally worked. As someone who is 5'10", this dress was an absolute dream come true. That being said, if you're on the shorter side, this may be slightly too long for you. The detail work in this dress is to die for and the fit was amazingly flattering. The sleeves weren't tight at all, even with my athletic build, and I was actually super comfortable wearing this during my two-hour commute and my entire workday. While I dressed this piece down for work with sneakers, it would look absolutely wonderful dressed up for the evening, too. I'll definitely be renting it again in the near future.

STUNNING.
WOW. This dress is a total knockout. I LIVE for animal prints, especially in bold colors, and immediately jumped on this piece as soon as it was listed as available. I picked it out for work, but I really am going to have to keep it and wear it again this weekend. In fact, this is one of the first dresses I've rented where I actually am thinking about purchasing it! The fit is beyond amazing - there is a cinched in part at the natural waistline (hard to see in the photo) that sits in the most flattering area. I don't feel like I am being overwhelmed by the amount of fabric in this dress because of it. The neckline is super comfortable and the sleeves are the perfect length, even with my abnormally long arms. The length does hit exactly as shown in the model image (midi), but I will say that if you are on the shorter side, this will definitely end up being full-length. The fabric is TO DIE FOR - so comfortable and soft as well as totally breathable. I've received an INSANE amount of compliments on this dress and am totally going to rent this again and again until I finally suck it up and buy it for myself. HIGHLY recommend.

Such an interesting piece!
I was so stoked to rent this dress for everyday/work just based on the detailing alone. Normally, I stay as far away as possible from anything white (between coffee spills and pets, it's typically for the best), but I am so glad that I took a chance on this piece. It's actually slightly off-white in color rather than the stark white I was expecting, which was a pleasant surprise. The contrast ruffled details were super cute in person, too! The fit was actually very flattering, even with the oversized silhouette. The skirt is very flowy and was fun to walk around in. All in all, this is a great dress for work or everyday and I would totally rent it again for either or to wear out on a date.

A total statement maker!
I rented this dress pretty much based on the fact that it was mustard (my latest obsession). I wasn't sure how to pull it off, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a knockout hit. It fit like a dream, not too tight, not too loose, and looked absolutely amazing on. The material is pretty light, even though it is a knit, and didn't make me feel overwhelmed when I was walking around in 75 degree weather. The length was perfect for wearing with mules or mid-height ankle boots. I received so many compliments on this dress from coworkers and even a few strangers while I was out running errands on my lunch break! I will totally be renting this piece again (and again and again).

Unexpectedly gorgeous!
I wasn't 100% sold on this dress, but the 80's-inspired sleeves finally had me convinced to rent it. And boy am I glad that I did - the fit is absolutely AMAZING and super flattering. The sleeves aren't too poofy - they have just enough volume to make this piece look super modern. Much to my pleasant surprise, there are slits in the front, which make the midi length a little less conservative and a little more fun. All in all, this is a great slimming, comfy and super cute dress for work, a dinner date or out and about for everyday. Highly recommend!

Felt like a rockstar!
I wasn't 100% sold on renting this dress, even with my leopard obsession, until I scoped a newscaster wearing it on TV. She totally convinced me with one look that I needed to give this piece a try. The fit of this dress is amazing - it's slim in all the right places while the high slit and flowy skirt add a flattering effect. I love the sweetheart neckline paired with the oversized pouffy 80's sleeve - it really made a statement. My only complaint about this dress is that the fabric looked cheap in person. But otherwise, a total must-try for when you want to look and feel like a rockstar.

NOT a dress
I was so stoked to rent this piece - I'm all about the 90's influences! However, much to my dismay, this piece was not wearable. The hemline hit just below my hip, long enough to look like an awkward oversized tunic and short enough to not be wearable as a dress. The top of this piece was super cute, thus giving it two stars, but it looked so awkward on that I couldn't even bear to wear it with leggings or bike shorts. All in all, this is NOT a dress. BUT - if you're on the shorter side, it may look great on you.

A surprise hit!
I rented this dress on a whim - normally I'm one to wear all black - and boy am I glad that I did! The colors are absolutely amazing and the fit of the dress is surprisingly very flattering. The wrap-front was a little tricky to navigate being 5'10" tall - it was super short! All in all, if you appreciate 80's style with a more modern take, this dress is totally for you.

This blazer has absolutely become one of my go-to Unlimited rentals in the past few months after I picked in on a whim. While I'm not a formal dresser for the office or someone who even likes blazers very much, this piece totally changed my mind. The fit of this baby is super flattering on and not boxy in the slightest. I love the exaggerated shoulder paired with the rounded hemline - it looks super cool in person!

My first love
This was the first piece I ever rented with my Unlimited subscription that I absolutely fell in love with, and I even recently took the plunge and purchased it for keeps. This baby looks absolutely amazing on, skimming the body in all the right ways, without enhancing those super fun problem areas around the middle and back. The fit and style is super timeless, but the choker top really kicks it up a notch in the style department. The fabric has a slight stretch to it and is super comfortable to wear with a surprising amount of breathability to it. All in all, you need this dress. ASAP.

Cute but not the most comfortable
I rented this top to try out for work when I was giving a formal presentation and it ended up working out pretty well! While it looked great with high-waisted trousers, the fit of the shirt was a little uncomfortable in the shoulders. For some reason, it was tight in this area and around the top part of the shirt but loose everywhere else. It didn't affect the fit at all on me, but it did make it rather difficult to reach for things or drive my car without feeling like I was restricted.

A surprise hit!
I wasn't sure whether I would even end up wearing this piece when I rented it with my Unlimited subscription (I'm not really one to wear hot pink). However, much to my surprise, I ended up falling head over heels for this romper. The color is super intense in person, but also ultra flattering. The fit of this romper is absolutely a dream, hitting all the right places for a curve-enhancing appearance. The fabric is super soft and stretchy but still hides problem areas beautifully. I got SO many compliments wearing this to work!

Who doesn't need a LBLD? This little black leather dress has quickly become one of my go-to Unlimited rentals thanks to its super flattering fit and uber comfy design. I always get compliments when I wear it to work or our anywhere else, too. The fit is very comfortable and flattering, with the tie at the waist hitting right at the natural waistline. The skirt is a bit confusing to maneuver at first, but once you get it once it becomes super easy to wear. The slit can become a little scandalous pretty quickly if you're on the taller side, so I always wear a pair of shorts underneath just in case. The top of this dress fits like an absolute dream, with plenty of room to move around without feeling restricted.

One of my favorite rentals - ever.
I was so stoked to find that Reformation is now available on RTR - I adore this brand but have always been pretty hesitant to spend the $$$ to own it myself. So when I found this dress, I immediately had to rent it. This little number fits like an absolute dream and is absolutely true to size. As a taller gal, it is pretty short on me, so beware if you have longer legs. The fit is super flattering, with the tightest part hitting at the natural waistline. The sleeves look a little odd, but are super comfortable and not restrictive at all.

Totally to die for
I've rented this dress a few times, once for a special occasion and twice for work. This gown is absolutely gorgeous and fits like an absolute dream, and I always get a seemingly endless stream of compliments whenever I wear it. The fit is very tight around the waist if you wear it at the lower hip like the model, so I typically pull it a bit higher to sit at my natural waistline. The tie is pretty easy to use, although it does tend to become undone here and there due to how sleek the satin fabric is. The off-the-shoulder design and sleeves are super comfortable to wear and pair perfectly with the flirty high slit of the skirt. All in all, I absolutely love this dress and highly recommend it for anything from everyday glam to a sophisticated night out.

SO. MANY. COMPLIMENTS.
I rented this bad boy for a "casual" day at work, not sure of how it would fit. As someone who's super tallish (5'10"), maxi dresses usually turn into awkward midis on me. This dress was a little bit longer than normal, which worked super well for me. The fit is INSANELY flattering and super comfortable on. The fabric is very soft and silky with a lot of stretch (without actually looking like it's stretched) and didn't feel too heavy even with the warmer CA weather. The color is surprisingly purple (more so than the photos), so be wary of that. All in all, totally loved this dress and will absolutely rent again.

Modern 80's Vibes
I wasn't sure what to expect when renting this dress - I love RM so I decided to take the plunge, even though it felt a little out of place with her current brand aesthetic. And I have to say - I am so glad that I did. This dress snagged me so many compliments at work thanks to the exaggerated sleeve and short fit. The floral pattern is actually pretty subtle in-person, too, which was a nice surprise. The length of the dress hit me about mid-thigh, even though I am about 5'10", which was a further shocker (to be honest, I was expecting this to be too risqué to wear out in public). It was super comfortable to wear and I found myself a little bit depressed about sending it back to RTR at the end of the day.

One of my all-time faves.
This dress is everything I love about RTR. Before trying this bad boy out on Unlimited, I wasn't too keen on Rag & Bone. After? Now I'm obsessed. I've rented this dress at least once a month after the first time, and I'm pretty certain I will end up buying it. The fit is - interesting. It's not the most flattering, but it still has a way of helping slim the figure. The length hits me about the knee thanks to my height and the sleeves fit comfortably, too. Like other reviews have stated, it does tend to run a little large. However, I do like the fit overall. The pattern combo is what totally sold me on this dress - I'll admit it that I have a huge leopard addiction. The combination of different shades of the same pattern on this dress is absolutely perfect for anyone who wants a neutral that's not 100% neutral. It's just enough edge to wear to the office without feeling like you're trying too hard.

There's not much to say about this dress other than it absolutely knocked it out of the park. I picked this dress to wear to the office when we had corporate coming in and it totally worked. I received so many compliments on the style and the fit. The fabric of this dress is to die for - like many other women have said, it is almost like wearing shapewear, but with a little more stretch. The sleeves were super comfortable, too, even with the tight fit. There was no snagging or uncomfortable feeling from any of the zipper detailing, much to my surprise. All in all, this dress was banging and I'm totally going to rent it again.

I've rented this dress 10+ times now as part of Unlimited, and I definitely fall in love with it again every single time. The fit is perfect, even with my hourglass body type and large shoulders, and the length hits about mid-thigh, even with my height. The color and pattern combination is totally lethal and I always get compliments whenever I wear it.

A surprise hit!
I rented this on a whim, not sure whether I'd actually be able to pull it off or not. And I have to say - I am so glad I did. This bad boy was (unexpectedly) super flattering and fit like a dream. The neckline was the perfect height to keep it kosher while at the office and the back keyhole was a cute touch that actually helped to keep me cool throughout the day. The zipper is a bit tricky to figure out at first, but stayed in place for the entire day once it was secured. The closure at the back of the neck is comfortable to wear and I didn't feel like I was being constricted in the slightest. The volume of the sleeves is perfect, too - it paired amazingly well with the fitted bodice. Because the bodice is very fitted, I would recommend erring on the larger side if you are not 100% sure what size to pick. I'm typically between a 6 and an 8, and the 8 fit perfectly. I paired it with high-waisted wide leg pants, heels, and a beret and received so many compliments all day long, both at work and hitting up the local coffee shop. Will definitely be renting this piece again (and again and again and again) in the near future.

So comfortable, and so many compliments!
I'm addicted to plaid, and once I saw these bad boys I absolutely had to rent them. The fit is - interesting. It's definitely not what you'd expect from a standard pair of pants. The waist hits above the belly button and the hip is nice and roomy, which is great at hiding the belly area. They are surprisingly pretty heavy, but still super comfortable to wear running from the arctic cold of my office to the blazing heat of the sunny outdoors. The detailing on these guys is amazing - the subtle hits of silver really play up the edginess of the red plaid. The length of the pants is perfect for me, since I'm 5'10". If you are below this height, I would definitely recommend a pair of heels with these guys.

I wore this dress to a work Holiday party on a whim after it arrived and I saw how sparkly it was. Needless to say, I was receiving compliments left and right and had several people stop me and ask me where I got it! The color is so flattering on all different skin colors (several of my friends loved it so much they tried it on too!) and the silhouette is super slimming. The skirt has a great volume and movement to it which made it so much fun to dance. All in all, an AMAZING party dress for anyone who isn't afraid to make a statement!

The fit was absolutely perfect - it was tight without being restrictive and made my figure look amazing. As I am a little on the taller side the dress hit just above the knee. I received compliments left and right when I wore this dress to work. It is gorgeous in person and looks even more amazing on! I'd highly recommend it for any occasion.
