Runs huge
Got a size 2 when my normal is a 4. Wish I had gotten a zero. Big in the shoulders, chest, waist, really big everywhere. Fabric is very stiff. Pockets are great. It has a lot of potential for someone tall who gets the sizing right.
Gathered Sleeve Utility Dress

Bust: 34AA
Very short
This sweater is very short in front and was well above my belly button. I paired with a high waisted black pencil skirt and it worked, but the way it rides up and doesn't stay put is just too high maintenance for what should be a comfortable sweater. Going to return. Fabric was comfortable and good weight for first day in high 60s.

It's the perfect summer skirt. Super light weight. Slit is discrete--totally fine for work or weekend. I've worn a half dozen times and may never send back.

More structured than expected
I rented this thinking it was a light breezy dress to wear while it was hot, and that was not at all the case. The bodice runs tight, and the zipper likes to get stuck at a seam, so it's not the easiest to put on. Then, there is this short, clingy thin white layer underneath. While I appreciated some coverage, since the wrap piece would fly up, it was just not comfortable in any way. Returning after one wear. Didn't have the problem other review noted about the top being giant and the clasp not staying shut.

Adorable, runs very small
Originally got a 2, which is my usual size in a-line dresses, and I could zip up but not wear a bra and not breath. So I switched to a 4, which is still on the right side, probably would have even been okay with a 6. There is no give whatsoever. If you have a larger chest, probably not the dress for you or size way up. Dress is super flattering and worth it. It makes my waist look teeny. I basically look for excuses to wear it and never want to return.

Wide
Wore once but just too wide at the was and hips so not flattering. An extra-small might have been better, but was worried it would be too short. Proportions might just be off if you are taller than 5'5".

Wide fit but cute
Love the color. Saw the comments on running large and got a size 2, but probably would have been even better in a 0. Sent back cause it's starting to get cold, and the piece is not much warmer than a silk shirt. The shirt sticking out starts to wrinkle over time so needs some steaming, but the green shade and shine of the main jacket are great and looked fresh after a number of wears.

Great print. Very short
It arrived with tags on. The print is even prettier in person and really pops. This is definitely shorter than I usually wear, and I totally would have been more comfortable had it been an inch longer.

Cute but size down
I am always a perfect 4 in DVF, but this was at least a size too big. It's a fake wrap, which I really appreciated for work, as no fidgeted with the neckline or a scandalous slit. Would definitely rent again (using unlimited) if a 2 were available.

Not the best for me
I own a bright DVF wrap dress that I love. I am always a perfect 4 in these, and because I'm so small on top, I have no problems with modesty. However, this was just not the right color for me. It was a little too much white and made me looked washed out. If I was as tan as the model, I would have loved it though.

Good size, great with navy
Like the style--the double chain has some character, and it is great for making a boring navy dress interesting. I work in a conservative office, and it's not too bulky to wear to work.

Good quality
Not the easiest clasp to deal with. However, once I got it on, it was in good condition, and substantial but not so heavy that my neck will hurt. It has a little more character than a plain gold chain.

Cute, hard to match
It's very unique, doesn't go with much so I didn't find it the greatest piece to just keep for a couple weeks from unlimited and work into my usual outfits. It's very well made though, so if there is something specific you want to pair it with, go ahead and rent.

Too big, didn't wear
It's a beautiful dress, but I made the mistake of ordering a UK10 thinking it was close to a US4, and the dress swam on me, and I could not possible wear it. May try again in a UK8 or UK6.

Runs big, just ok
Definitely looks a little off colored, I assume from all the dry cleaning. No one else mentions this, but on the one I got, the fabric on the sleeves is totally sheer and is closer to a blouse than it is to the fabric of my other theory blazers. I normally am a 4 in theory blazers, got a 2, and really would have been fine in a 0. One of those unlimited items that I will wear once so I don't feel like the order was a total waste then send back.

Love the size, needs more pockets
Love the size and the color for winter. Easy to throw in scarves and gloves and hats and still have plenty of room. Fabric is nice and sturdy, not saggy like some totes. I wish there were a couple pockets on the side for cell phones and such--if it did, I'd probably want to buy. There is one pouch that doesn't quiet cut it.

Cute but not spectacular.
Wore it a few times. Liked the way it looked peeping out of a jacket, but definitely needs to be paired with simpler things. Held onto it for a few weeks, but not one of the unlimited pieces I was dying to buy/keep.

A little boxy
Usually a four in theory jackets. Probably would have been better off a size down but got this through unlimited, so no backup size. It was a bit boxy around the middle as a result so paired with leggings. Wore once and then returned.

Not for me. These were huge (though not that heavy considering the size) and actually composed of three separate vertical pieces. Looked a little cheap. Just not what I was going for.

Cute, on the long side.
Super comfortable and light. Definitely on the long side, but it strikes me as something that was not supposed to be super fitted. Main downside is it wrinkles very easily and needed a touch up by time it got delivered.

Cut very straight
Took a risk on this cause there were no reviews, but it was part of an unlimited order, so I figured why not. The size 4 was tight but wearable around the hips and huge around my waste. The fabric has no give. Would look cute on someone who is straighter, but not for me.

Very pretty, not quite right
Very pretty over a simple top, but it just won't lay flat, so it looks a little off. It's really nice to wear a statement necklace that weighs basically nothing.

Ok
I got this off unlimited, so no backup size, but I really needed a 0 (or even two sized smaller if that existed). And it's new (came with tags), so there wasn't much info to go on re sizing. The cutouts sagged it was so big though they were in a flattering place, The length was nice. The fabric was a little shinnier and dressier than in the photo, but still not formal. The best feature is the pockets.

Color in photo was off, still cute
It was a good size. A little on the small side for every day and starting to show some wear when I got it (the corners looked a little tired, for example). The color is a decent amount lighter than is shown--more salmon than neon.

Got this through unlimited. It goes with everything--plain black dresses, bright sweaters. It is the perfect size. Like the silver, since all my other necklaces are gold. Think it's great and don't want to return.

Too big for my teeny wrists.
I never order bracelets because I have disproportionately small wrists (my small watch has the max links removed and is still really loose), so I got this one using Unlimited when everyone else complained it was too small. It turned out to be way to big for me, falling half way over my hand, so it's really not as narrow as people made it out too be. I would have loved it if the circumference was a bit smaller, but it just looked silly on me. (Looks wise, it's my favorite thing I've got off Unlimited thus far.)

Beautiful and unique
I got the regular and it was really long on me. I probably would have worn the 2R, except one the straps seemed off, and the 4R was close enough, as long as I didn't slouch. The dress is impeccably made. There is an inside corset that keeps everything in place, though I wore a strapless bra under to fill it out. If you are bigger, that won't be necessary. It was still super comfortable.

Very short
If it were an inch longer in back, it would have got 5 stars, but the length of the size 2 only just barely covered my butt. The length of the size 4 was a little better, but it I accidentally lost a few pounds recently (just under 120 right now), and it was just saggy in places. Going to wear tights with the size 2 so I feel a little less exposed. Also, as a FYI, cause of the way to top zipper is, it's not the easiest dress to get on without help.

This didn't go with the backup dress I ended up wearing (which really called for no necklace), but I wore it around all weekend, and it is gorgeous. It definitely feels substantial and has a bit more sparkle to it than is shown in the photo. It managed to turn a basic JCrew skirt and tee into a cute outfit.

Correct size wasn't available, but great dress
When my original rental wasn't available, this is one of the ones I chose as a last minute backup. Only the xs was available though, which I can sometimes wear when the dress isn't brand new and has been stretched out a little. While it would have been fine for a bachelorette or New Years party, it was just too tight (especially on top) for me to feel comfortable at a wedding. It's a great dress though, and love the neckline. Small would have been perfect.
