Great bold pants! Not too long
I rented these hoping they would be long enough after reading review after review about how these are way too long. I am 5'7 and they were just barely long enough in flats. To be fair, I do have long legs and a shorter torso, but given all of the reviews to the contrary, I was hoping I could at least wear these with a heeled boot but nope - only flats. I also had no problems with the waist which others have complained about. They are great pants, great quality, some stretch, bold color. I am happy I rented, but am still on the search for pants that are actually long enough to wear with any form of heel!

Stunning statement piece!
This is one of my absolute favorite rentals. I usually wear a size 4 top, size 6 bottom. I have long legs, a short torso, and a small waist and a sizable butt. I wore the SL and it fit like a GLOVE. Seriously it was like it was sewn onto my body in the best way... which is a good thing because there is not much stretch to this piece. I am 5'7, wore 3" heels and the length was perfect. All in all this is one of the best things I've ever put on my body and will definitely rent again!

Better than pictured! Beautiful basic
I had this shirt in my Unlimited hearts for a year before finally taking the plunge and I'm glad I did! It is a great every day shirt. It is incredibly well made. It falls beautifully. True to size. The front isn't a true crop - it fell around hip height, just below the top of my jeans. I was really pleasantly surprised with this one - I thought it would be a one time basic rental but I would definitely consider renting again.

Beautiful, comfortable, flattering dress
This dress is beautiful. The fabric is heavier than I initially expected. It has a wonderfully soft and warm lining which makes all the difference in terms of comfort. The tie collar was a bit troublesome at first - I kept attempting a bow but I couldn't get it to lay properly (and I like to consider myself pretty well-equipped when it comes to bow-tying). In any case, I opted to skip the bow and just do the first under-over layer of tying. It laid quite nicely and stayed put with minimal adjustments. Another favorite detail: the sleeves. The elongated tight wrist is a unique, classy touch. I styled this with white slides as it is still early Fall but could see myself renting again to wear with black tights and booties. All in all, it is a nice, comfortable, stylish dress. True to size.

Pretty, fine, simple lace dress
This dress is a pretty, basic, simple white lace dress. I rented it as an option for my bridal shower and kept it as a back up until I found something better. Honestly, I was not wowed. It is classic and pretty and nice. The fit was okay but not great - I looked heavier in this than I did in most other dresses I tried. For reference, I am a size 4 top, size 6 bottom with a small waist and short torso. The placement of the lace shadows the lower part of the stomach which creates this illusion of depth in a bad (chubby) way. Even on the very tall and thin model in the main photo you can see a touch of what I mean by that. The dress fits close to the body but doesn't have much stretch. All in all, it's fine. A bit boring maybe, but fine. I opted to wear a different option for my bridal shower and sent this back without wearing it.

Gorgeous unique bridal shower dress. So many compliments!
I cannot emphasize this enough: this dress is a true show stopper. I've had RTR Unlimited for a year now and this is still easily one of the top pieces I've rented. The reviews for this dress were spot on - the details are exquisite, the photos don't do justice for the beauty of the beading. The touch of blue at the color adds another dimension. The only downfall is that, as many other reviews state, for the dress that I received the lining was bigger than the outer layer of the dress. I ended up pinning the inside of the lining so that it didn't bunch up. Runs small - I typically wear a 4/6 and wore an 8. No stretch to the outer layer so recommend sizing up. In the end, the positives far outweigh the negatives. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous color, unique piece to layer
Love this Milly vest! It was one of the first pieces I rented almost a year ago and I've rented it a 2nd time since then. I haven't mastered the way to wear it under a coat so I love it for fall / spring when it can be the only add'l layer needed. I've worn it for work and then out to work drinks with a client and I wore it to brunch and rooftop drinks on a nice early spring day. It is a baggy fit so I think it looks best unbuttoned - otherwise any shape would be buried in the boxy shape. All in all it is a beautiful unique piece, the kind of statement that Rent The Runway is best used for!

Not a good fit for my body type
I am a size 4 top, size 6 bottom with a butt and hips and a small waist. I also have long legs and a shorter torso. Rompers can always be hit or miss, but this one was a big miss for me. It sat too low on my waist which caused the top to gape. The bottom had a "diaper" effect going on - bunching up weirdly in the crotch area. It has good reviews from other people so I think it's just a matter body shape, if yours is like mine then you may want to think twice. I returned this without wearing it.

Cute take on a basic
Fit was large, I typically wear a size 4 top and the small had a lot of room to spare, even when tied up. It was still cute and worked, it was just a bit different than what I was expecting. The shirt is sheer but not really in a way that looked great with just a bra. I opted to wear it with a skin colored tank underneath. The shoulders stayed put but that was also due to it being a bit big. All in all a solid rental but nothing that special.

Great color, on trend but some construction issues impacting fit
I rented this dress for my fiance's annual work formal. I was excited for this dress but ended up not wearing it due to some construction issues. Pros: color!; overall shape -the bell sleeves are very on trend; great length. Cons: the one very big con is that the front top of the dress constantly rolls down, not falls down but rolls down, and this messes with the whole shape and look of the dress. This is a fitted dress so the bottom layer is tight and rides up. The top layer is not connected to the bottom and does not ride up in the same way; it falls more normally. These 2 factors cause the top layer to keep moving down while the bottom layer moves up, creating that "rolled down" issue at the neckline. Overall, this dress is great in theory but the execution is poor. I am sad to say that I would not recommend this dress.

Great print, good fit - trendy upgrade from your normal blazer.
I wore this blazer to work with black pants and a black turtleneck. I received compliments as soon as I walked in the door. Pros: great print - love that it's black and white so I still look sharp and professional even with a bold pattern. The weight is great for the office as it's not too heavy but is also substantial enough to hold its shape well. It is also light enough to wear under my heavy, fitted winter coat and not feel restricted. I have a small waist but hips and a butt so often blazers this length aren't flattering on me - they flare out from my hips, hiding my small waist and making me look larger than I am. Luckily, this didn't have too drastic a flare issue and I felt confident in the outfit. Cons: shoulders were a little tight & on one side the top layer is a bit smaller than the bottom layer so the bottom of the blazer doesn't lay flat (wings out slightly). However, both of these cons are very minor and I doubt anyone else that seems me would notice. Overall, I definitely recommend!!

Interesting color, substantial material, trendy shape - overall a solid rental.
I rented this shirt for normal day-to-day wear and wore it to work with black jeans. Overall I liked it and received several compliments. Pros: trendy without trying too hard; substantial material; overall pretty comfortable; hung well on my body. Cons: didn't quite fit right in the shoulders; color didn't really suit me. But the biggest con for me was the way the fabric hit my chin / neck. I liked the material everywhere else, but by the end of the day by chin / neck were starting to hurt a bit from the way the rougher material was rubbing against them. Overall, this was a good rental as part of my Unlimited plan, but I shipped it back the morning after I wore it. With items I love, I usually keep them for a few more days to try and find other opportunities to wear them. This was good for a one time rental, but compared to other items I've rented and loved, I'm not sure I'll rent it again.
