Very pretty, but too small. Lovely shade of red and nicely draped fabric.

Cute, Form Fitting
This is very firm fitting and seemed a bit tight to me. I'm between a 14 & 16 and just wouldn't have been comfortable wearing it. Now in another ten lbs.... great color though, and the mesh inset was an interesting touch.

Awesome & Unique
Love this, although I think it would look better paired with a straighter pant. Wore this at a work function at a resort during a conference. Tons of compliments. It's very interesting eyelet fabric with vibrant color & a beautiful print. The fabric has no give. I suspect it wouldn't be great if you're very busty. I wore a nude camisole underneath because of the eyelet.

Great, comfortable red dress
I'd been wanting to try a La Petite Robe Dress on my Unlimited membership and this showed up in my size at the perfect time. It pulls over and is very comfortable. Runs a bit small-I usually wear a 14 and this was a 16(52). Great color red. Lots of compliments. Only complaints are that the band across the chest was a bit loose on me and the straps don't have any way to anchor bra straps.
Red Jodilin Sheath
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe

Unique and beautiful
Love this, but it didn't love me back. Usually wear a 14, but the 16 was too tight through the rib cage. The rest of the dress fit very well. Disappointing.
Black and White Floral Lace Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: NONE

Unique dress
This dress runs very small. I've rented Badgely Mischka previously and a 14 has fit. This wasn't close through the back. Disappointing because it's a very pretty dress.

Badgley Mischka

Beautiful dress
I had rented the 16 awhile ago and it didn't fit. This is roomier through the waist where I need it. Exquisite dress that is perfect for rental because it is so unique. Received so many compliments at the black tie optional dinner I wore it to.
Multi Floral Embroidered Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: 14W
Usual Size: 14

Lot of dress
This is a beautiful dress, but I'm 5'5" and generally wear a 14, but this was tight through the waist. If something's going to be tight on me, that's where it will be. It's also a lot of pattern if you're 5'5" and wearing a 14.
Butterfly Lace Midi Dress

Great piece.
Love these. Great print. A little tight through the waist, but they are so cute i'm keeping them.

Cute dress, ultimately decided on a more reserved dress.
Love the flexibility off a shift lace dress with an opaque under skip. It just seemed a little casual to wear to receive an award. Upside is I've received lots of compliments on the back up dress, which I would have purchased, but it ran too large.
Red Mod Lace Dress

Beautiful dress!
This is both very comfortable and beautiful. Got lots of compliments. Probably would have been better with a size smaller, but it was not available on unlimited.
Sheer Lace Sheath

Gorgeous dress.
Kept this for quite awhile through Unlimited. Really classic, and hugged me in the right places. I might have bought it, but I lost weight and it became too large.

Great dress!
Love this dress & wish it was available for purchase! I didn't get to wear it because it was just too cold on the days I'd reserved it
Navy Cuff Sleeve Dress
Badgley Mischka

Not my fave
I generally love Marchesa, but not this dress. It was too small, so I couldn't wear it, but I wasn't disappointed because it wasn't that special. Quite short, too.

Beautiful Workmanship
This is a beautiful, unique dress I got thru Unlimited planning to wear it to an art museum opening. Unfortunately, it's too small. I generally wear a 14-14W, and this was just too tight.
Woven Hem Cocktail Dress

Cute and Comfortable
Enjoyed wearing this. Took it on a trip because it was not terribly cold, and this was easier to manage than a coat.

Great color
I love the color of this dress, but I wasn't crazy about the fabric--a bit too shiny for such a form fitting dress.

Beautiful leather
This is a lovely skirt, but runs small. A 14 generally is fine for me, but this wasn't even close at the waistline.

Pretty, but not so exciting
I was looking for more of a statement necklace. This was very attractive, but didn't have the impact I wanted.

Beautiful Dress
Loved this dress. Probably could have used the regular size with tighter Spanx, but this was so comfortable for a formal gown. The only con was, although I was wresting high waisted Spanx, the dress was not as flattering through the waist. It ran a bit long. I wore the regular with a 3"+ platform heel. It also was roomy through the bust. Overall one of my favorite RTR rentals through Unlimited.

Gorgeous!!
Love this bag so much I purchased one!! Great size. Hardware is a striking accent. Leather has a nice, soft texture. Optional shoulder straps make this bag great for travel.

Gorgeous dress, but it was just too snug.
Loved this, both online and in person, but it was just a bit too tight. Thought about hanging onto it for my January formal event, but I knew it wouldn't be as comfortable as my other alternative.

This dress runs small, but is forgiving in the right size. I got it to wear to a work dinner I wound up not attending.

Very cute dress. Runs a little small and it's a bit short, so I didn't wear it, but I would rent it again if I get to the point it will fit.

Gorgeous Dress
Beautiful dress. The zipper sticks, though, on the dress I received. As other reviews noted, it is short. I'm 5'5" and the 16R was too short to wear with any heels.

Beautiful piece.
This is really a lovely necklace; however, it's described as being 18" without further info. That must include the drop because I was unable to wear it and a true 18" necklace fits fine.

Cute dress.
My first choice was unavailable, so RTR sent two backups. Neither worked, but both were very nice. This one is very fitted at the waist and was quite low cut on me. Ultimately, I decided it wouldn't work for the dinner I was attending, mainly because it was so low cut on me. It is a very pretty dress, though, and I wish that it had worked.

I liked the dress, but couldn't wear it because it was a bit too tight. It's a nice color and would be a good day into night dress.
