My husband begged me to buy it
I wore this dress to a weekday gala for my husband's work. The color and length were perfect since people were coming straight from work, but the length and fit gave it a bit more formality than the outfits I normally wear to the office. He still talks about how much he liked it on me from time to time and was begging me to keep it after the event (sadly, I wasn't an Unlimited member at the time or I would have, since my clothes rarely elicit such a strong reaction from him, lol). Anyway, huge hit, would recommend.

Bright, fun, eye-catching print
I wore this both to work with a three-quarter sleeve black top and out and about on the weekend with a crop top. Worked well in both contexts and was fun, comfortable, and helped me stand out from the crowd. This piece is exactly why I joined RTR Unlimited--I'd never spend as much money as the retail price on something I'd get sick of as easily as I know I'd get sick of this skirt if it were in my closet, but it's so fun to wear a few times and send back.

Compliment city
I wore these to work and got a compliment as soon as I stepped into the elevator first thing in the morning....and they didn't stop coming all day! Adorable, very flattering, and comfortable for the most part (other than after I had just eaten lunch). I'd rent these again in a second and even considered buying them.

Cute and comfy work pants
Not much more to say than what's in the title. I liked them, they were comfortable, and they were flattering. Nice print. I deducted one star for the annoying button fly.

Beautiful dress for engagement pictures
The dress is more of an aqua/blue-green than it appears in the pictures - I was expecting it to be more of a silvery greyish-blue. It's super poufy with tons of tulle layers. Definitely expect to get a lot of attention and "princess" comments! I wore this for my engagement pictures, which were taken in the Chicago Botanic Gardens on a weekend (so lots of kids/families around), and little girls kept pointing me out and calling me a princess. I didn't mind in the least, but it's something to keep in mind if you prefer not to be the center of attention. As for the fit, it runs large. I am normally a size 4 but ordered the 2 as a backup size after reading the reviews, and the 2 definitely fit better. I also wore the long length and 3" heels (I'm 5'8") and the back barely cleared the ground. If you want to wear flats or lower heels, I would recommend the regular length even if you are tall. My least favorite thing about the dress was the length of the bodice - it kept slipping down and showing the top of my bra, and I was pulling it up the entire time. The straps are also designed such that it's not possible to pin them up in order to adjust the bodice length, since it would look awkward. It's definitely designed for someone with a larger bust and smaller waist, and also a longer-than-average torso...so if you have all of these things, it will be a home run for you! One other thing - I initially bought a pair of silver heels to wear with the dress after seeing it on the model in the picture (again, thinking it would be a silvery greyish-blue color), but silver shoes looked horrible in person and I ended up wearing a pair of nude pumps.
