Flattering, comfy, easy to wear = all around win

This dress was super cute and fun to wear. The tie at the top is a unique detail that also helps cinch the waist of the dress to make it super flattering. I'm usually a size 10, but it wasn't available. The 8 was a little small but loosened the longer I wore it. I'd recommend renting you usual size or going up a size because the buttons are real! Had a couple of button scares that probably could have been avoided if I would have been wearing a size up.

Elegant, breezy, and surprisingly versatile

This dress was such a delightful surprise! I ordered 2 sizes up as I usually do with DVF, but this one was actually true to size... and was rather large on me... however, with a small belt cinched at the waist, the silhouette was absolutely dreamy! I wore this everywhere for a few weeks, from berry picking on a farm in 90+ degree heat, to work, to running errands around town. Everywhere I went I felt comfortable (breathable, lightweight silk FTW) and #vintagefancy. Can't wait to rent again. P.S. I can't emphasize enough how much a slim belt will do for this dress, esp if you have an hourglass figure.

Fun little summer dress!

Great little summer floral wrap dress. Flowy and comfy, but the material and construction are high quality. Only downside was that the arm holes were a little large.

See through top, weird fabric

The top part of this dress was completely sheer, which was unexpected from the description. It was also very low cut. The material was thin and flimsy feeling overall, rather than flowy and breezy as I expected. Didn't wear.

Low cut and a on the short side, but it worked well with tights and a cami underneath. I also wore this with a cropped black sweater thrown over the top. The brand runs small- recommend sizing up.

Super easy to wear and flattering for hourglass

DVF always runs a little small on me, esp in the chest area, so I sized up for this one. The bodice and the skirt are made of different fabrics, where the skirt is a shinier, satin-y silk. It made the draping lovely but also made it feel just a little flimsy. I would recommend wearing a thin slip or at least some fuller shapewear if you're concerned about coverage. That said, I wore this multiple times and would rent again. It was great with a cardigan for the office or dressed up for a night out too.

This brand runs on the small side, especially for bustier gals. I am usually a M-L and the XL was almost too small for me. I ended up wearing a cami under this because... well the picture speaks for itself... but I fabric was super lovely. Great rental for a springtime garden party.

I had to pin the top (always the case with me and wrap dresses) but overall I thought the fit and pattern were nice. Very spring-y and lady like without being overly sickly sweet.

Like a little girl dress in adult size...

I rented for Easter Sunday for church and thought it was nice... but also felt like the pattern, color, and even cut were so little girl-ish that I can't imagine any other scenario I would wear this in. Maybe a tea party? Yep. Would be super cute for a tea party. So nothing technically wrong with it, just not my style.

Fun AF, Super Comfy

Rented for a beach music festival and loved how light and breathable the silk was. It was such a fun piece that was perfect for this unique occasion. The straps kept falling off my shoulders, so I used some double sided tape to keep them in place. I doesn't look like much on the hanger but I thought it ended up being pretty flattering with the attached belted ribbon in place.

I rented this for a mermaid-themed bachelorette party and OMG it was perfect. Obviously loved the twirl factor, but the colors and fit were on point as well. I will be looking for another excuse to rent this in the future but if you're an adventurous renter/ have a funky sense of style, I highly recommend.

Perfect dress for hourglass figures. Super fitted under the bust, which was perfect for me (my underbust is ~30in). Not too short ... 3 or so inches above the knee on my 5'5 frame. Wore for Cinco de Mayo party and got tons of compliments. Only drawback was that it was super low cut and would have looked wayyy too revealing for me but was easily fixable with a bralette

Lovely silk and pretty details

This is a beautifully made silk dress that definitely made me feel very *fancy*. The top was a little too billowy for me and it was overall a little large. I rented a 12 and am usually an 8-10. Based on other reviews I was worried a smaller size would be too short. Overall it was still a good rental even if it wasn't a perfect fit, it still looked nice I think.

Fun rental for unlimited!

This top is super cute and I absolutely loved the crop/ asymmetrical shape and the overall structure and weight of the t-shirt. It was a cool twist on a casual t-shirt and jeans look. This is one of the reasons I love unlimited RTR... I would never spend $350 on a plain blue t-shirt but would absolutely rent this again

Pretty but huge

I'm usually a US 8-10, but in LK Bennett I'm between a US 10-12/ UK 14-16. This was only available in a US 12 but really fit closer to a US 16. The waist was so large it barely stayed up on my hips. I might try to reorder in a size US 8 because it was a beautiful skirt! My waist is 29in and hips are 42 if that helps.

So pretty but so short

I loved the material and loved that it wasn't super low cut, but it was so short. Didn't pass my "fingertip length" rule for wearing to work, even with tights. I ended up wearing it out for drinks but sent it back because it was just too short for everyday wear.

Nice flow but weird material/ cut

I liked how this dress flowed and liked the pattern and length but-- 1. The cutout part made it difficult to wear a proper bra without it showing 2. The bias cut didn't lay quite right on me, which usually isn't an issue but was with this 3. The material feels cheap and scratchy which I've noticed from other dresses from this brand

Sleek + comfortable

Felt like a million bucks in this, which is saying a lot for a basic black work dress. But it is super well made, high quality material with a flattering cut and just a touch of stretch. This will definitely be a go to rental for important work events or interviews. Goes great with a blazer, light jacket or even a cardigan.

Polished + easy to wear

This is a great, lightweight tweed jacket that easily added professional polish to a simple black dress. One thing I really liked about the fit was that the arm/ shoulder area wasn't constricting like a typical blazer can be, so it was easy and comfortable to wear all day long.

Nice material but weirdly cut at the bottom

I loved the color and the silk felt amazing but I could not for the life of me get this to drape in a flattering way on my body. The front/ bottom of the shirt is too billowy to tuck, but the back looks weird untucked. Also the little snap closure in the front popped open every time I moved basically so I was glad I wore a cami underneath.

Joan from Mad Men would approve

I love this brand because of the silhouettes are classic, flattering and elegant. I wore this under a tan blazer for daytime and on its own for a nice dinner. I was worried at first it was too form fitting, but the next size up looked frumpy. I'm glad I went with the smaller size though because there is a bit of stretch so it kind of loosened up as the day went on.

Stunning silhouette, gorgeous color

Super flattering cut + high quality fabric made this one of my favorite rentals of all time! I wore this for an on camera interview and a public speaking engagement at a tech conference and the vibrant color really popped in video/ photos. There's just the right amount of stretch and strategically placed darting to make this surprisingly flattering.

Soft jersey on the inside, gorgeous silvery shine on the outside!

Such a comfortable and easy to wear gown! I wore if for a "Sparkle & Shine" themed holiday party. I tried on probably 30 different dresses-- this was the 3rd one I tried on and I kept coming back to it! Unlike other sparkly or shimmery dresses, this has no scratchy, fussy, delicate or heavy embellishments like beads or sequins. The gown is lined with the softest, t-shirtiest jersey that made me feel like I was cheating the formal wear system I was so comfortable. In the photo I'm wearing an 8, but I ended up sizing up and wearing spanx and a strapless bra. A couple of notes on fit-- it's very low cut and I had a hard time finding a strapless bra for my 32G chest that didn't show. I ended up safety pinning the super long straps up in the back (halter style), which helped provide more coverage. It looked okay in person I think, but due to the super shiny, reflective material, you could see the outline of bra in flash photography which really irked me. But other than that... super lovely find that I would highly recommend! I got tons of compliments.

One of my fave unlimited RTRs!

This was the dress that made me fall in love with unlimited RTR. Gorgeously cut, elegant, and flattering silk dress that usually would be way outside something I could afford for an everyday work dress. I got tons of compliments and felt super confident!

Standing room only

Ended up not wearing-- while the cut was flattering, it was a bit stiff and was the type of dress I felt like I wouldn't have been able to move around in. This was for a 6+ hour long holiday party with a sit down dinner and dancing later so I wanted to be comfortable. I think this would be nice for super formal gala that was mostly about posing for photos and gliding around the room elegantly.

Fit all my stuff = win

At first glance, nothing super spectacular, but I was pleased with how much I could cram into this little clutch. And since it was a structured, hard shell clutch, you couldn't even tell. That said, it wouldn't have been my first choice rental but it worked for a last minute grab and was literally one of the only clutches left during the formal holiday party rental rush! Tip for unlimited RTR-ers: rent early for formal occasions during popular times (peak wedding season, holidays, etc.) and stash it.

Gossamer from Looney Tunes Vibes

The fit is very big and boxy and voluminously furry. Not unexpected from what I read in other reviews. I was so close to wearing it, but it just felt too extra for me. I rented it to wear over the Hutch Cameron Gown to my formal company holiday party. I probably would have worn it if I had been going to a different holiday party were I could have pulled off a more funky/ edgy look, but this was SO MUCH green fur.

Not the greatest fit and mediocre quality

Ended up not wearing these because the fit on the leg was just odd. I was expecting skinny jeans and prefer a more fitted calf/ ankle area. These were loose on waist, tight through hips and thigh and they hit my half and then just ended in a loose rectangle cut... hard to describe but the overall look wasn't for me. A general note on quality... I ended up not wearing these and instead grabbed my $8 pair of H&M jeans and noticed the quality was pretty much the same... would have expected more from designer jeans.

Fabulous, fun frock for frolicking

I love RTR because it's pushed me outside my fashion comfort zone... case in point: this Stevie Nicks meets Ted Baker dress. I ended up wearing it several times on a recent trip. It's comfy, easy to wear, and travels well (no wrinkles after being crammed into a carry on). Note on sizing... I think the intended fit is supposed to be more blousey and flowy, but the size 4 was all that was available in the store. I'm a size 8-10 usually, and I tried it on without even looking at the size and liked the way it fit, so I went for it.

Looks like what McGonagall would wear to a dinner party

Very strange, oversized fit and very shiny/ satiny silk material made this look like very expensive pajamas. Could possibly work on a willowy, tall frame paired with edgier accessories but not for me.

Beautiful color with contrast stitching and luxurious silk

Versatile top that I wore to work, out to dinner, around town to run errands and a night out. Lots of compliments! It's definitely a unique top- the cut and draping of the fabric in the front kind of took some getting used to, but wearing a black cami underneath is definitely recommended if you have a larger chest.

~Kate Middleton Vibes~

Gorgeous dress and lovely material. It was a tad too dressy for my more casual work environment, but I really loved it anyway. I actually originally rented this for a trip to London and it would have been perfect for a springtime high tea with the Queen... but you know... that didn't happen. But seriously, this is an elegant, well-made dress with a flattering fit and flows beautifully. I will probably rent again in the spring for a more formal occasion. UK sizing note... I'm usually a US 10 and I think this was a US 12 / UK 16 and fit perfectly.

Too much of a good thing for me

Super fitted + shorter length + lots of cleavage made this dress super sexy but... maybe a little too much for my very curvy figure. I had to keep adjusting the top to make sure my bra wasn't showing and felt like i had to also keep pulling it down so it wasn't too short, which made the top part show even more cleavage, so all In all, I was a fidgety mess all night. . I think this could work on a slimmer figure or if you're super comfortable with showing a lot of cleavage. I liked that it accentuated the waist and it was very flattering if I stood perfectly still though!

So comfy, versatile and flattering. I wore these on 2 flights, out to dinner, and at least 2 other times on a recent trip to Europe. I loved wearing these while traveling because the fabric is resistant to lint, pilling, and wrinkles. I wore a L and am usually a 10 in trousers. The fit around the waist was comfortable- not too fitted but didn't look or feel big. The hip and leg areas are relaxed. I always paired these with a slimmer fit top (bodysuits worked great) to balance out the baggier fit of the bottoms.
