Perfect dress for Thanksgiving!
This dress is great! It's a good length for someone my height (6 ft 11) and I felt really comfortable in it. The material was really nice (thick and not cheap) however was wrinkle prone. I especially loved that it had pockets and I got a lot of compliments. The olive color was perfect for fall and my hair color.

Very cute and stylish, loved wearing it every day
This jacket is great! At first I found it to be a lot 'greener' than in the photos. It's definitely olive colored like the title but in the photos on my computer it came off as more brown. At first I didn't love the color but the more I wore it around the more I LOVED it. I got a lot of compliments. It is a bit cropped but that was really flattering on my waist line with my high waisted jeans. I felt really cool in this jacket and it was nice and warm as well.

So obsessed.
I LOVE these pants. They are perfect for work and still very on trend. The 4 fit me perfectly which is my normal pant size and they were just perfect length for me to wear flats (I am nearly 5 foot 11). They fit a little lower on the hip than my normal pants and walking around in them with my hands in my pockets just made me feel so cool. They hardly wrinkled after a full day of wearing which was a huge plus for me. I would love to own these but 350$ on pants is just a no go for me.

Cute but not anything special
I wore this to work. I wish I could've worn my usual size of a 4 but it wasn't available. I squeezed in to the 2 which was a little tight (makes sense). It was a cute dress, very flowy. People at work complimented me. I wouldn't guess it was a 300$ dress though.

I LOVED these. I wish I could justify spending this much on a pair of pants I wouldn't be able to wear all the time. I am 5 foot nearly 11 and 145 pounds. I wore a 4 and it was perfect. I got a number of compliments on these.

It just could not have been less flattering on me
The dress runs small. I typically wear a 4 but I've rented both 2s and 6s in the past depending on reviews of the item. For this dress I wore a 6 and it was still really small. The biggest issue with the dress was the material. It was so thin and completely unexpected. It hugged all of the wrong areas on me and generally the waistline hit at a really unflattering place. I found the arms to be completely uncomfortable as well. I just could not see myself wearing this anywhere. I think it would look better on someone really short and small.

Pretty much my favorite thing I've ever rented
I just love everything about this. I wear it to work, on dates, recruiting events and it's perfect for everything. It is so easy to dress up and dress down and it is a great fall color. It is just the right length for all occasions for my height (5 foot almost 11) and I am obsessed with it. I bought it and have already worn it a number of times.

I liked it but couldn't figure out how to wear it.
The ruffle on this dress is very large. And it was a weird fit where it was too big in my waist (needed a belt) but too tight on my bottom. I couldn't figure out how to wear it and style it even though I liked the idea of the dress.

I loved it belted, otherwise not so much
I love the color of this dress and it just looked so perfect for work with leopard printed shoes and a belt. It was a weird cut though when not belted. The slit is also shockingly high though. I am lucky work doesn't care as much about what I wear but just be warned. I would buy this for work if it wasn't so pricey.

Love the dress but runs big!
I rented this dress for a Birthday Cruise I was on. I was a bit nervous since it had no reviews. It came with tags on. The dress runs large for sure. I am usually a 4 but when choosing between a small and a medium I usually pick a medium since I have a bottom and broad shoulders. The dress was big pretty much all over. I belted it and pinned it to make it more fitted in the waist. Overall I loved it the more I wore it throughout the night. I love that it is at an inexpensive price point as well.

Cute dress, wrinkles easy
This dress wrinkles very easy and was not as simple as expected to steam. It's a unique maxi dress and perfect for my vacation (a cruise). I belted it since it wasn't the most flattering otherwise. This hit a few inches above my ankle on me and I am 5 foot nearly 11. Overall would rent again for the right occasion.

I felt so amazing the whole night!
I wore this to an elegant dinner on a cruise for my birthday. I wore the 6L. I normally wear a 4 and the 6 fit like a glove. I am 5 foot almost 11 and the dress skated the floor. I would not have been able to wear heels but that was okay for me. The dress was just drop dead gorgeous. I got so many compliments on it.

A great dress for the company holiday party!
I rented this dress in a size 6 because a 4 wasn't available. It was a touch large which leads me to believe the dress is true to size to your regular size. The dress definitely made an impact. It was 100% classy in fit, length, and material. I received a ton of compliments and it wasn't uncomfortable at all. The paneling wasn't as sheer as it appears in the photo and the skirt seems more A line.

We kept calling it my 'princess skirt'.
I LOVED this skirt. I am not actually sending it back right yet as I plan to keep it for NYE. I wore this with a black, long sleeve crop top for a night to see Elf at the Fox with my boyfriend. I am not sure how to make the skirt more casual yet but it was definitely a show stopping skirt. The lining is a bit more fitted but it was soft and not scratchy like the tulle. I am tall (5 foot 10) and the skirt hit about mid calf when resting at my waist.

Very awesome boyfriend style blazer!
I wore this jacket to work and out and about shopping. I probably could have worn a size 4 but I always get a 6 in jackets because of my broad shoulders. The material was nice but I think it would wrinkle easily. The only thing I didn't like about this blazer was the shoulder pads.

Looks much better from the front.
I am very meh about this dress. I wore it to work one day with tights and was considering wearing it to a football game, but the back and side view of this dress is just not that flattering. In addition - the sleeves would not stay put. Believe the other reviews. They were incredibly frustrating. The length worked for me and the dress was a nice, heavy material that felt good quality.

A little to big and bright for my taste.
The necklace arrived and I expected it to be big and bright due to other reviews. I was hoping to wear it to an Auburn game but it just looked off and clunky against all of my outfits. I returned it without wearing. Could be a cute look for summer if you can pull off huge jewelry.

The dress is a weird material.
So I rented this dress for a friend and she ended up not wearing because it didn't arrive on time. That being said - I can't judge on the fit but the look was not as expected. The material felt like gym bag material - the kind that makes a swishy noise when rubbed together, and it had a very weird shine to it. I wasn't impressed.

This skirt is AMAZING!
I am in love with this skirt. This is one of the few Unlimited items I have kept past one wear. The skirt is a touch big in the waste for me, but that's very typical for my sizing. I am not sure I could have worn the size 2 because it may have been too tight in the hips. In any case, I love the skirt - it feels incredibly high quality and the look is very 'in' right now. I wore it with tights, a long sleeve top, and a really long cardigan and I got so many compliments. If it wasn't so expensive I would definitely consider purchasing.

It worked for work but I didn't LOVE it.
I rented this dress through Unlimited for work. I like the dress itself - it's probably a touch short for being 5 foot 10 but I wore it anyway. I ordered a sized up for the length so I'm not surprised it was a bit bigger than desired. I think the vertical lines made me look a little wider than I am but I enjoyed the overall look. The material is nice and the leather details are really unique.

Like but don't LOVE
This is a nice, thick jacket. It fits true to size for my frame and it feels expensive. The only thing I don't really love about it is that it doesn't have pockets, and it doesn't cut in at the waist as much as I would've liked.

Great for work, but a little big in the waiste
I rented this dress via the Unlimited program. I like the dress, however, I found it a bit more boring than expects. It could be the color scheme as the brown and blue are not my favorite combination, or it could just be that the waist was big on me and felt matronly. It didn't exactly scream young professional in a business casual work environment. In any case, I ordered a size 4 which is my normal size but I definitely think I could have gone to a size 2 (which is very rare for me). The waist had a solid inch it could have been nipped in to make it more flattering. I'm tall and found the length to be appropriate, but I did wear tights with it because its a bit cold here. The material is nice and thick and the leather is soft. The dress feels high quality so that is a plus. It's not something I would buy or rent again but it served its purpose for the day.

Cute and trendy work outfit.
I rented this for work. When it arrived it still had its tags on. I usually wear a size 4 but jumpsuits can fit too short on me so I sized up. It was a touch large in the waist on me but the tie hid it really well and it was so fitted on my calves I don't think I would've wanted a size 4. The jumpsuit is really cute!! The material is thick and feels expensive (because it is), and the color is gorgeous and perfect for Fall. The tie is a pain when it comes time to use the restroom but it is a really nice detail.The only thing I didn't really like is that the legs were a touch short on me. I'm almost 5 foot 11 and wish they were an inch longer. They also rode up on the calf when I walked which could be a pain.

Cute dress but its a little tight for work.
I enjoyed this dress even if it took forever to arrive to me. The dress is a perfect fall color of a dark teal. The cut at the neckline is unique. I would say it runs a little small based on my usual size. It was a very fitted dress and also rides up a little bit. The slit is also a touch higher in the back for my personal taste. Length is good, only a few inches above the front of my knee.

Cute dress but zipper has issues.
The dress was great! It fit well, was a good length and was pretty. However, the zipper only worked every now and again. At times it would completely unravel from the bottom up so it was tricky to work with. Because of the quality I lowered the rating.

Doesn't look like the photo.
While I don't hate this dress, it certainly doesn't look identical to the image. The dress itself is black with gold glittered patterns on it. In the photo the gold definitely looks more muted than it does in real life. This made the dress more formal than I anticipated. In addition to this, the black back is sheer. This required me to wear a blazer over the dress. That being said, I still thought the dress was cute but it didn't work as well for the occasion. In terms of fit - the dress was an appropriate length for a work affair.Unfortunately, the dress bunched up quite a bit when I moved, especially at the waist. I probably would have been able to wear a size up more comfortably.

Cute (albeit hot) top!
I rented this via RTR Unlimited. This was one of those items I picked up when there was nothing else I was really interested in. I'm a fan of peplum tops and have a long torso. This shirt was a little short and a little too tight in the chest but definitely doable. I did find the material a little hot though after wearing it all night.

Great maxi for us tall girls.
I really scored with my cruise picks from RTR Unlimited. I am not a huge fan of maxi dresses as they typically run short on my and I'm not always thrilled with the style in general. When I saw this dress though I knew it would be a great fit for one of my casual cruise dinners and I am a sucker for cut outs. First things first, I really wish I had sized down to a small. The dress doesn't have any give but I wouldn't say it 'runs large' like some of the other reviews. I'm typically a 4 (sometimes a 6) and thought it was a touch loose in the waist. Next, the dress came really wrinkly. It's evident that its the material and not really RTRs fault. I used a mini steamer on it and the wrinkles came out immediately. I got loads of compliments on this number. At 5 foot almost 11 this dress just touched the top of my feet. I enjoyed that I wasn't tripping on it and people could see my sandals. The slip under the top layer of the dress was not too short (a first for me) and the pink is a real bright coral color. I would buy this dress in a heart beat if it was still summer as the price is actually not too shabby. No pockets on this number though ladies and a sticky bra or petals is a must. I also recommend nude underwear even with the slip.

LOVED this for one of my casual cruise dinners.
This past weekend I was on a Carnival cruise and was really excited to use RTR Unlimited for some of my dinner outfits. I really loved this dress. Normally I shy away from floral prints like this but for vacation I decided to wing it. The dress is short but I'm 5 foot nearly 11 and didn't have an issue with the length. It definitely has a poofy skirt as there is a layer of tulle around it. I really enjoyed spinning in the dress. On to the negatives, I range between a 4-6 and almost always wear a 4. This dress is a little tight which I have found common with this designer. I have a really small chest and I'm not sure this was the most flattering cut as I didn't really have enough cleavage for the cut out and my chest was a little flattened and pushed up. The dress is also sorely lacking pockets which would've made it a real winner. Overall another dress I would have absolutely no problem renting again.

Was too short to wear.
To be honest, I don't think I would have liked this dress even if the length was long enough for me to wear. First of all, it was too short. I'm 5'10" and it barely covered my butt. If I were to bend over or walk with too long a stride, it would be a peep show. That being said, the color wasn't that flattering. It was slightly boring and the waist hit too high on my ribcage. The sleeves felt very weird, like they were about to slip off my shoulder. All in all I received this through the Unlimited program so no harm no foul.

Stunning but bunches in the back.
I LOVED the color of the dress. I have been waiting to rent it forever so it was just my luck that I snagged it with the Unlimited program a couple weeks prior to my trip to Vegas. I've hung on to it since then. I am tall so the dress was short (but Vegas... am I right?). The dress was very fitted but no more so than other size S Herve dresses on me. I found the material thicker than some of the other Herve dresses. My only issue with this dress was that it bunched at my lower back. It was not a smooth line which got annoying to constantly adjust. It also rode up a bit when I walked. The first picture will show the length and the second better shows the color.

The perfect dress for Vegas!
I'm rather tall (5 ft 10) and this dress is the perfect length for something like Vegas. It is not as short of some of Herve's other dresses and the material has a lot more give as it is thinner. The dress was incredibly flattering and makes me look skinnier than any of the other Herve dresses I have worn. I got a lot of compliments on it (as per usual for RTR) and would definitely rent again. As a matter of fact - I have rented this dress before. I also wore this dress in NYC in May when I went to a Broadway show and it worked fine for that as well. Please excuse the poor quality photo.

The perfect shirt for a night out, wore it all weekend!
I LOVED this shirt. I rented it via RTR Unlimited and wore it the whole weekend I had it. I originally rented it for a date and wore it with dark skinny jeans. Due to me not packing enough clothes, I then ended up wearing the top all the next day with a pair of high waisted jean shorts to walk around in and eventually go out for drinks in. The top itself takes a little work to make sure the back is situated correctly but it is extremely comfortable. I wore petals with the top and it was fine. I didn't realize from the photo that the sequin esque material does not go all the way around the shirt. The back is just a grey cotton. I say sequin esque because it is not sequins and I don't know what the material is. It is nothing to shiny or gaudy which is why I think it could be dressed up or down. Either way I loved it and would rent again.

Cute but really only works for one style.
I wore this tunic for work over a pair of black skinny pants and ballet flats. I expected the shirt to be a little shorter on me because of my height (5' 10") but it actually was still quite long. The top is longer in the back than in the front but was still too short on me to wear as a dress. I thought it was a cute look and received many compliments, however, I couldn't think of any other way to wear it. For a top this pricey I would definitely expect multiple uses. The fabric is really silky which is comfortable, however, it also wrinkles very easy. The shirt came out of the bag and needed to be steamed before I wore. Keep that in mind if expecting something ready to wear. It also shows sweat if you are someone who sweats a lot. The color is a soft periwinkle. The only real odd thing I found about the top was the tie in the back. When you pull the tie too tight it gives you a weird silhouette. I tied it for the look but kept it nice and loose to maintain the tunic's shape.

Loved this dress and the color!
I rented this dress via RTR Unlimited and it came with tags still on. Looking at the photos and the lack of reviews, I figured I would be safe and order a size up because I am tall. being 5 foot 10 a lot of the dresses are short on me so I wanted to get something I could actually wear. In the end I probably could have gotten away with a 4 but the 6 still fit fine. The color is brighter in person than in this photo. It's more of a bright peach color. The material is really great as well and its pretty conservative. I was able to wear the dress to my business casual office so the length was not bad for someone my height at all, probably only a few inches above the front of my knee. The fit is pretty much like the photo. I didn't find it unflattering but I did prefer to belt the dress rather than leave it loose fitting.The sleeve fit just an inch past my elbows and were incredibly cute. I will try and edit the review to add a photo. I would 100% purchase this dress because it functions for me for work, brunch, a wedding, etc.

It was a rather unflattering fit
Judging from the reviews and the photos I thought this dress would look better than it did. The dress was a little small in my opinion. It fit but the size 4 (my usual size) was tight in the arms and under the bust where the waist tucks in. Overall the dress was unflattering on me which I think was due to my height. The dress was short, made shorter by the sky high slit in the back. Normally if this was an Herve dress or another skin tight dress made to be a mini I would have worn it. However, the conservative top half with just a short hemline did not work. The material is nice and thick but the dress came wrinkled. The front pockets bulged out oddly which made me look bigger than I am. Overall the design was really pretty but the dress did not work for me and I never wore it.

Was not able to wear unfortunately!
Update: I ended up re renting this dress in a size 6. I still stand by my assertion it runs tiny as I probably would have been even more comfortable in an 8 (two sizes up). I wore this dress out in Vegas and received a ton of compliments. Everyone loved it and I loved that I could wear a normal bra. I would 100% consider purchasing this in the correct size. I rented this dress through RTR Unlimited in my usual size (size 4). I had a feeling it was going to be too small based on the other reviews. The dress itself is a little brighter than it is in the photos, more of a neonish pink. I thought the dress was stunning and a really cool look. While the dress itself zipped up in a size 4, the overall look was unflattering because the fabric had very little give. Unfortunately around my thighs where the dress was extra tight, you could see all of the hemline bursting through the fabric. This was a dead give away that the dress was too small, even if you managed to suck it in you wouldn't be able to hide the bursting seams. At 5 foot 10 the dress was not too short for me to wear. If given the chance I would probably rent the dress in a size 8. I am not sure a size 6 would have been enough difference.

Too short for me to wear
I rented this via RTR Unlimited and had a feeling it was going to be too short. This was one of those dresses I knew wouldn't work but I just had to try anyway. My friend's bday dinner was coming up so I wanted a casual yet cute look. The dress looked like someone took a long tank top and added a single inch. The dress covered the goods but barely - and I am very used to wearing mini everything. I ordered a size up to hopefully give it length but I don't think I would have been able to wear a 4 at all. I don't really have too many curves but the 6 was definitely fitted at my hips. The colors and embroidery were beautiful though.
