Stunning. Great for pear shapes.
Beautiful in person. I receive so many compliments on this dress!

Should be listed as a top
This is ridiculously short. I ordered a size up and it was huge on top and my butt was still basically out. Not designed well at all.

Comfortable and sexy
I wore this dress for my winter birthday and felt great in it. I wore a backless bra to limit the opportunities for it to show. Highly recommend!

Wore this for a vacation in Spain. It fit, but I thought it would be looser.

Perfect RTR pick
They are fun and they are expensive and therefore a perfect rental. They jazzed up my outfits for half the summer and gave me life. I like that they made my everyday clothes seem more fashionable. I wore them constantly and then suddenly I was over them and sent them back. This happens to me often which is why I subscribed to Unlimited in the first place. Perfect!

Disrespectful to the female form
These shorts are poorly designed. They run extremely small and are see through. In this day and age there is no excuse for high end brands to produce products like this. The technology and resources is out there to do better.

Fun shorts
I wanted some fun shorts for the summer and these didn't disappoint! They are high waisted and short but flattering.

Made for someone with big boobs
I think this dress would be very flattering on someone with a large chest, but that's not me!

No idea how to put on
I just couldn't figure out how to tie this dress. Maybe I'm dumb, but a dress shouldn't be so much work.

Great day to night look.
This is a very flattering dress, which is almost always the case with Black Halo. The color was uplifting and fun. I wore it to a meeting with leadership and to a happy hour after work- very versatile.

Amazing and not delicate.
This shirt was everything I hoped for. Appropriate for work, but has personality. I was surprised by the material, which was thicker than I expected. I was happy it was not as delicate as I thought. This is also was a perfect rental because it's price (even with the Unlimited discount) is insane but it truly is a great top! I will probably rent again. It requires a black top underneath. Also, I liked the tie- tie it like bow for a formal/chic look or leave it open for a more relaxed vibe.

This earrings bring me so much joy
I wore these to work with a white shirt and purple skirt. They make me so happy. I'm considering buying them.

Very flattering, but the slit is high
Something about the design of this dress just made it very flattering. I tried it on when I was feeling fat and bloated and it still looked good (not the case with most dresses!). For that reason, I recommend it. But I would never buy a dress like this because the slit is HIGH. It made me insecure walking and sitting. I had to hold it most of the night, which worked but I can only deal with that once.

A truly special dress
I wore this to a rehearsal dinner but in retrospect I should've worn it to the wedding. It felt so special, like it was designed and made with care. I really did get a lot of reactions to the dress itself (as opposed to it having a flattering fit or something). Anyway, I ended up buying it from Unlimited because it brought me joy! Only warning is that the boning stuck me in the side but that can be addressed with a bandaid or something.

Great for a winter wedding
I'm usually a size 10 and wore the 8. I would recommend other pear shapes do the same since it's baggy in the bottom and meant for bustier women, so the smaller size is perfect. As with all jumpers it's hard to go to the bathroom and to zip. I could do it on my own but it took a second. One problem is that the 10 option did not have an enclosure to help zip. I can't believe RTR sent me a defective outfit. It's like, fix it first. But overall, I was happy by the vibe I felt wearing it. Looks very glamorous with a white shawl.

Very flattering. Great for nights where you want to eat and drink and still look cute lol.
Classic. Sophisticated. Mostly this is great because it's flattering. I wore flats but would recommend kitten heels because people kept stepping on the dress.

Super comfortable!!
I loved how comfortable it was, but it wasn't particularly slimming. Often these high dresses will have magical undergarments in them that make you look perfect and this did not. That said, nothing a little spans can't fix!

Great color!
The color on this dress was amazing. I also liked the cut, which was modern and different. Usually I wear an 8 or a 10, I chose the 10 and it was super tight BUT I think it's still worth it!

Chic jumper
This looks great and fit true to size. I was happy that the internal bra thing worked well BUT the boning in the corset was awful! It immediately stabbed me (as opposed to getting annoying after wearing it a while). I had to tape tissue over the edge inside the jumper. That said, once I came up with the solution the outfit was great- looked really cute and chic.

Fit well, but too much sequins, too much dress.
My experience with this dress reminds me of online dating. It looked like the picture and the profile was accurate (sparkly, fit correctly, the bottom had fun movement), but I just wasn't feeling it. Something about it felt old to me. It was too covered up, too heavy, and I was overwhelmed by the sequins. This might be a good dress in the winter, however, because it seemed pretty warm. So others might enjoy it, but it wasn't for me.
