Beautiful, no bra needed

As others have reported, the straps are really long. I figured out a way to tie a little knot at the bottom where it hits the dress in the back and it was perfect all night long. The asymmetrical skirt is striking! Would rent again.

Not flattering

I should have listened to other reviews saying this was not flattering. Fabric was great and it fit, but the location of the belt is awkward and full skirt made me look pregnant. It probably would be a good maternity dress.

Great denim dress, needs repair.

This is the 2nd time I've rented this dress through Unlimited. It's a great style, thick denim fabric, and the tassels add a little flare. The pic online looks grey but it's a dark denim blue. Only problem this time was that the 2 hook and eyes that hold the front closed were damaged; the "eyes" are just a few loops of thread and both of them need repair. I secured with safety pins so I could still wear it.

Different in person, in a good way

I was surprised when I opened this dress, but in a good way. It's hard to tell from the model pics, but the dress is two layers - the outer layer is thick, blue and white, with a lace-like cut out pattern all over; underneath is a lighter weight blue silky fabric that shows through the lace cut outs. I got compliments all day because this dress is so unique. Unfortunately, it runs very large. I'm normally a 4 and wore the 2 but it was still big and a little long, at 5'3" it fell mid-knee. The other issue was that the neckline didn't lay flat, it folded in at the opening so I was constantly adjusting. A fun wear, but not sure I'd rent it again.

Amazing, fun dress. Rent this!

This was my first Draper James experience and I LOVED it!! The swans are adorable and helped to perk me up on a day when I needed a little oomph at work. I knew I would like the pattern, but I was even more impressed with the quality of fabric and the fit. It could not have been a better shape for me, nipped in at the natural waist, and with a fun wrapped-like skirt. The fabric is heavy enough that it stays down even on windy city streets. This is the perfect dress for RtR Unlimited because I will definitely rent it again, but it is too memorable to have in my own closet.

Different, lots of compliments

These pants are not my typical style, but I decided they would be fun to try. The fit was great, though they were longer on me than the model pictured - to be expected at 5'3". I paired them with an off-white silky sleeveless top, tucked in. I got lots and lots of compliments throughout the work day and at an evening work reception. This is the perfect Rent the Runway item - not something I would have in my personal wardrobe because you can't wear them often, but great to wear once in a while.

Based on other reviews I ordered a 6 though I typically wear a 4. I was really hoping to like this dress based on photos and other reviews. Unfortunately, the fit was awkward - tight in the waist and big in the hips/gut area, so I returned it without wearing.

I returned this without wearing it. I ordered the S and it was a bit snug for my liking through the bodice and waist. Based on the picture I worried it would look like a cheerleader outfit, which it did. I tried to pair it with a white blazer, but that looked odd so I didn't wear it.

I love this dress, the fit, cut, and fabric. It was missing the belt but I decided to wear it anyway. The sleeves were longer and more billowy than I expected, and they have a sweater-like cuff at the wrist that was a bit odd. Would definitely rent again.

Enormous

I rented this for weekend attire and wore it out to dinner with girlfriends paired with white jeans and platform espadrille sandals. The top is supposed to be oversized, I understand, but it was enormous. It looked okay while I was standing, but when I sat down it drooped and I feared it would fall down altogether. There are gathers on the shoulders that look like they should be elastic, but there is virtually no stretch and since it was big it just felt like it was going to fall off. Really unfortunate because it could be a very cute top if it wasn't so big!

The print on this skirt is adorable and a great look for summer. The fabric is very thick, which I expected, but it meant that the shape was stiff especially when sitting. Love the pockets though one had a hole in it. Probably wouldn't rent again but it was fine to wear once.

These earrings are amazing! I went to the NYC flagship store to pick out a dress for an event the same evening and was also able to get these earrings. I was helping a friend at a jewelry gala and I got lots of compliments from jewelers all night! They're definitely bigger than I would wear on a regular basis, but they were lots of fun and I would definitely rent again.

Great dress, no belt

This dress is beautiful and the lace accent on hem and sleeves is really nice. Such a classic look. I read other reviews and ordered the 2 when I'm typically a 4; it fit perfectly. Unfortunately, like several other reviews, it was missing the belt. I contacted RtR and they offered to send me another item, but I decided to wear it with a brown leather belt of my own. I will definitely order again.

Wanted to love it!

This is such a cool dress, the quality and color are great, but the fit was strange on me and it just wasn't going to work. I ordered the small, thinking it might be a little snug. Even without a bra it was hard to zipper and it wasn't flattering. I'm not sure I could have worn a strapless bra since the side below the strap was very low and I felt exposed. My hips are a bit curvy right now and I think you need to be more straight and narrow for this dress. This would be a really fun and stylish dress on the right person!

Amazing classy dress!

I wore this for one of the nights of my bachelorette weekend and felt amazing! As other reviewers mention, it's more purple than blue and the fabric is thick (read: it hides and smooths nicely). The top was pretty tight on me and I needed help zipping it up, but the waist and hips were comfortable. The "cape" accent on the back is really fun and the little bit of back showing is subtle. This was close to my perfect dress - classy with a little bit of sexy. Definitely rent this one!

This is a truly wonderful dress. The color is perfect, fabric is thick and rich, the stitching is very flattering, and the cut is exactly right. This is very classic and elegant. I wore it three or four times for various work events, meetings, and travel and it didn't disappoint.

I ordered this as part of the unlimited program for a night out to celebrate my birthday. I liked the knit fabric since it was thick enough to cover problematic areas, but still form fitting and flattering. The high-low skirt with contrasting interior color was so much fun! I felt festive, but still comfortable and not too formal for a night out with friends.

This is a great dress! The fabric color and texture make it unique. I worried that the puckering/pleating below the waistline would make me look like I had a tummy, but it hung well and was very flattering. I wore this several times when I had it through the unlimited subscription, including a 14 hour day when I was traveling for work. It held up very well in and out of the car, sitting, standing, etc. - the textured fabric didn't wrinkle or show wear during the day.

This is the second Trina Turk dress I've rented and really enjoyed! The colors are vibrant and materials are luxurious. It fit very true to size. The bust line was a little low for work, so I wore a white camisole underneath. For going out with friends or on a date, I would have been fine with it. Would definitely recommend!

Another nice DvF dress, a little boxy though.

This is not a classic DvF dress, but the fabric is wonderful and it is easy to wear. The cut is slightly more boxy and I may have been able to size down. The 4 is comfy though so I'm going with it. The contrast between the navy and black and the asymmetrical hemline are both subtle, but add a little flair. It's a nice dress, but not one of my favorites.

I love the color of this dress, the seam design is very flattering, and the fabric is wonderful. I found it to be on the short side, especially once I put heels on. Since I'm only 5'3", I was surprised that it was a few inches above my knee. All day I found myself tugging down at the waist to give me some more length. It's a great little dress, but maybe more for a date or girls night out, as opposed to work.
