Great fit- easy to tuck in or wear with leggings, dress up or dress down
I wore this probably four times prior to sending back- the mixed pattern is very cool, and the longer tail in the back looks good with leggings for more coverage. However, it's not so oversized that it looks bulky!

Universally flattering pink- so many compliments
I wore this dress out to dinner as well as to run errands around town. It is very light and you can tell it is good quality fabric. The waist line is super flattering, it makes your waist look really small. One of my favorite rentals.

Fits well, flattering style....I wish the lining was longer! :(
I rented this to wear for my bridal shower- it is very flattering and fits my petite frame well. Unfortunately, the lining underneath just barely covered my butt. Only if I stood perfectly still would like stay in place...which obviously I would not be able to do for my shower. Maybe it would work for engagement photos. If the lining were longer, the dress would definitely be appropriate as the lace layers are much longer.

Grown up sparkles
This was a cute top to wear with skinny slacks for work. It's sparkly, but doesn't look like a preteen's shirt because of the quality and the cut. I will say the arms area a tad tight on the biceps, but not unbearable and it probably makes the shirt look more flattering.

Great concept, not great in execution
The lace and color are beautiful, but the dress runs soooo short. Keep in mind, it doesn't look that mini on the model, but the opaque red fabric under the lace barely came below my butt. While the lace overlay did come much lower, that was kind of irrelevant as the nature of lace is see through. Maybe on someone very very thin this would work, but I generally wear a 0/00 petite and this only looked good when I was standing perfectly still. Unfortunately I was unable to wear...if I had lifted my arms higher than shoulder height, I would have had a wardrobe malfunction.

Favorite color
This definitely runs large. I was expecting a loose fit per the general style, but I think this ended up making me look wide. Regardless, I wore it and received many compliments- I was happy with the rental but I just wasn't in LOVE with the piece.

Shiny silk
Easy piece to throw on over skinnies and look like you put in alot of effort. It is comfortable and light. I would definitely pair with tight pants so your frame isn't overwhelmed in fabric as this blouse does have a loose/airy fit.

Discreet pattern that doesn't show online is beautiful!
This was the first blouse I rented via unlimited and I absolutely loved it- the fit was awesome, cinched the waist without tightness. This looked great with both jeans and dressier pants. There is a jacquard-esque pattern that makes it even more interesting in person.

Beautiful color and loved the short one side/long on the other
I rented this as my backup dress so I did not end up wearing, but I did really love the style. I have trouble finding dresses that are small enough for me and I always wear a 0 or 00 if available. However, I rented this dress in a 0R and it was VERY tight- not a problem I am used to. I almost always ignore suggestions to size up because usually that means it will fit me well, but in this case I would definitely think about it if you plan to rent. I have read other reviews of Likely dresses and I think that small sizing is consistent with the brand...next time I may try a 2 and see if that works better. FYI I am 5'3" and the length was fine with high heels.

Ideal size- big enough to stand out but not so large that they are painful
The clips stayed on well through out the night and these came in great condition. They are dark, but sparkly enough that they do really stand out.

Lots of compliments
I loved the concept of this dress- the back overlay made it really stand out. I have a slim build and this fit me well (I am flat chested) but you might consider going up one size if that is not the case for your frame. Definitely do a "sit test" before you decide to wear- it can become significantly tighter. Also, have a steamer handy as the thick fabric can get very crumpled in shipping. All in all I loved it- definitely save this for a more formal wedding though, the style is very dramatic for a casual setting.

Actually showed up against my dark hair!
These were a great size- large enough to show up against my long dark hair, but not so over sized that they were distracting. They were in great condition- no stones were missing. They are comfortable to wear for a night out, but could be a touch heavy for all day wear.

Very flattering
This was one of the easiest dresses to wear that I have rented, but also one of the most flattering. The waist band hits at the perfect spot to make you waist look tiny, and the flare of the skirt makes walking/sitting/dancing easy. You can wear a normal bra with this dress. I was realllly sad to send this one back, I feel like there are so many ways to wear it. I dressed it up with pumps and statement earrings for a nice rehearsal dinner, but I think you could wear it with flat sandals or wedges for a different look.

Beautiful shade of blue
This dress definitely stands out- the color is super vibrant, but not at all in a tacky neon way. I am 5'3", and with heels this was inches away from touching the ground in the back on me...I actually prefer the longer look so it worked. I am petite up top with a small rib-cage, and with a strapless bra I had no issues keeping the dress up- which is rare for me regarding strapless dresses. The pockets are a game changer. This is the second time I've rented this style. I rented the red version before and they are consistent.

Well made for a "trendy" piece
This was the first time I was able to rent a 00 from RTR, and I was happy with the sizing. If I had to do it over again though, I probably would have rented a 0... just so the shorts would have been a touch longer when I sat down (be sure to do a "sit" test in this when you try it on). It did fit well, the comment is just for modesty's sake. Overall, this was nicely made and the pattern is fun but not gaudy... AND the shorts cover your rear completely. I feel like many rompers ride up or don't allow you to raise your arms up past your shoulders without flashing your butt, but I did not have that problem with this one at all.

My favorite rental so far!
I wore this to a black tie wedding and received tons of compliments. I had no problem wearing a strapless bra with this dress, although you could easily get by without one as there is support built in. I have a hard time finding strapless dresses that fit without alterations because I have a very small frame up top, but this fit great and stayed up without lots of tugging! I am 5' 3" for reference, and the dress came fairly close to skimming the ground in the back on me...which I was happy with as the event was formal so the long look worked. The fabric was so unique, I think I will rent this again in blue next time! Can't beat the pockets.

Great color- not a tacky neon orange, but an ombre burnt color that adds interest to a plain black outfit. It has an optional strap to wear over the shoulder which is great.

Unique, fun to wear something unexpected
I wore this to a couple's shower...it fit well, albeit a tad long (granted I have short legs and a long torso). It was not cropped on my 5'3" frame, but I wore heels and it worked perfectly with the zipper feature. The legs were also looser on me than pictured on the model, but it worked with the "baggy" style and the top was fitted TTS. I want to rent the white one in the future!

I wanted to keep these so bad!
Attention grabbing...you don't need many other accessories. They are large so obviously not ideal for 12 hr wear, but not unbearable for an evening event.

Great dress, unable to wear for fit (runs large)
I love that this is a deep navy as opposed to a typical LBD. I really liked everything about the dress, however it ran large as compared to the general smaller fit of Eliz and James dresses. I could not wear it as it would have required too much fabric tape to keep the shoulders fitted to my bra. Granted I have a smaller frame especially up top so this may fit well for others.

Pretty color
Attractive dress- I loved the color and the interesting texture. I am slender so finding dresses that fit without alterations is difficult and this fit well. The arm holes were extremely high cut however- they do dig in and I wish there had been more space. Size up for your back up. The lining was a bit loose on the bottom too- not sure if anyone else noticed but I did.
