RTR TEAM REVIEW
I was eyeing this skirt for weeks! Was expecting it to be thick and stiff but it's actually pretty thin and a has great movement when I'm stomping around. Also appreciate that the knots are somewhat pre-done so they always look good. Fits true to size right at the natural waist.

Perfect slim fit overalls! Blank denim never does me wrong - fit is always true to size, definitely snug with some stretch. I'm 5'9" so these were pretty cropped on me. Best part of the fit is how high they came on the waist - nothing worse than low-riding overalls with unintentional skin showing! I paired with a tight black tee, one of my own basics.

One of the first jumpsuits I've ever worn - and I'm in love! Rented this for a trip to Las Vegas, so decided to take a risk. I have pretty muscular legs, so sized up since the fit in the calve area is pretty tight - there is a zipper there so you have the option of zipped or unzipped. There is very little stretch to this garment, if at all, but sizing up should do the trick if you are between sizes. The top requires some finagling to get the ties just right, but it feels secure once it's perfected (no fear of too much side boob). The high neck in front balances out the overall sexiness of this look, and I paired it with a faux fur jacket by Milly. Super glam, super fun!

I was saving this dress for some warmer weather, and it was the perfect way to usher in Spring! This shirt dress runs large, but the belt is a great style element - I ordered my usual size and didn't feel like I was swimming in it once I styled it properly. The belt is two sided, so you have the option of playing up either pattern. Overall, I would pin this as a more casual dress - super comfortable, and could work just as well with sneakers or mules. Could also see this being a hit in a tropical vacation setting!

Flattering, simple, comfortable - this is the perfect dress! Reminiscent of the stretchy 90's tops that are back in vogue, but much more elegant. I'm a big fan of the sheer overlay, and love the longer length (about mid-shin). I received tons of compliments on this, and decided to give it a more edgy twist with a biker jacket to contrast with the femininity. The bodice itself is very form fitting (although stretchy), but otherwise super flowy and could work with any body type. Straps are a great length and also have some stretch, so the bust area feels very secure. Can't wait to rent again!

Coolest pants ever! I've now added these into my regular rotation for workwear. I originally rented them for a trip, and loved that they were an easy way to look polished and unique (plus the fabric is very packing-friendly - minimal wrinkles). The high waist would make these perfect for pairing with a crop top, but I have gone with either a tank top or turtleneck. Super slimming, but still flowy - pretty much no stretch at all, so just bear that in mind! I am quite tall and the fabric brushed the ground - so shorter folks may feel the need for a heel.

Unlimited has changed my life.
As a full-time corporate employee by day and DJ by night, I am constantly on the move and needing to transform to fit my environment. Unlimited has become an invaluable part of my life - and if I'm ever without it, I truly have lost all sense of what to wear. Being a subscriber has unlocked business opportunities for me as it has totally boosted my confidence and made me look and feel amazing - as well as being an amazing conversation piece when someone compliments what I'm wearing. It has completely eliminated the stress of getting dressed and as an avid Instagrammer I'm never in fear of "outfit repeating" - although I've bought a few items for keeps that I've loved too much not to! As someone who is maniacally organized and loves to plan, I get great joy out of being meticulous with my subscription and therefore my wardrobe - this is a dream come true. I'm ready for every occasion - including running the world!

Warm and form-fitting winter colorblock dress by DVF! I rented this with a "desk to evening out" day in mind - which can be a bit tricky in these colder months. The fabric is really thick with some stretch, so it's form-fitting while not being too tight. Even though I have no curves to speak of, I think this would fit any body type. A pleasant surprise was that there is also a block of fleece on the front of the dress, so there's also some fun texture! The length was perfect, hitting at my shins - and paired with some funky sneakers because why not :)

Loved the idea of this dress, but overall not for me. The open back was awesome (loved the draping) and a really cool way to show some skin, but that was the only thing that was really working for me. The straps were very thick and tight on my shoulders, and the bust was extremely small - not a problem I've ever had to face before haha! I would hesitate to try this again in a size up for fear of it slipping out of place - was quite low cut, so I wore petals instead of a bra. I unfortunately had to continually adjust while wearing, but I'm sure this would look fabulous on another lady! I definitely recommend sizing up. Still worked for a fun Sunday baby shower, worn with nude heeled sandals.

Such a fun, girly, short dress! I rented this for a trip to Florida, but ended up wearing in my own backyard instead. Much shorter than my usual look, but loved the flared skirt and the fitted waist! I'd absolutely nab this again for any summer party. This was super stretchy, but the sleeves were tight - I was more than comfortable in the hot sun all day, and thought the size worked perfectly. Bend over with caution! I see this as being equally great for curvy and narrow ladies alike.

RTR Team Review
Very chic, unique, yet understated! Loved wearing this to work during the day, dinner and show at night. No stretch at all, with more buttons and zippers than your typical dress, so I recommend sizing up for bigger busts. I particularly loved the cut of the dress, and thought the neckline was really interesting and fun. Gorgeous fabric, and overall super comfortable! One challenge was figuring out the right bra since the sleeves are asymmetrical - I pulled it off with a regular bra, but would have been happier and less awkward in a strapless. This hit mid-calf on me at its lowest point, so would possibly brush the floor if you're closer to 5'5"/5'6". I paired it with a leather jacket and black chelsea boots - would be gorgeous with some strappy heels!

Most complimented dress ever! I rented this to wear to work and to a panel. All day long, I was compared to everything from a unicorn to a bag of Skittles - but I kept hearing over and over how amazing the dress was! Super fun to wear, but there are a few tricks I'd recommend. The fabric is gorgeous, extremely thick and stretchy - almost like a sweater with the piping. Because of this, I actually recommend sizing down - whenever I sat, the fabric would gather in a large fold (not super flattering) due to the thickness and flexibility of the dress. No part of the dress felt uncomfortable or tight (sleeves included), but the fabric might not be great for a hot day! I wore spanx underneath to smooth it all out, but I don't think they would be needed if the dress were a bit more snug. I paired with white sneakers and a leather jacket, minimal jewelry - this dress speaks for itself! Would be equally awesome with some nude or black heeled sandals and a fun clutch.

My new go-to dress for events! This dress has an amazing fit - not too tight, but does a great job at smoothing out any trouble spots. I loved that the bodice was tight, but the bottom of the dress has some width and movement - it actually gave me some curves! The neckline is quite high, and I wasn't able to wear this with a bra - women with a large bust, beware. Overall, I would recommend sizing up for a backup. I loved pairing this with a long necklace and nude cutout heels! Have already rented it 3 times, and I'll be back :)

The softest flannel on earth! Obsessed with the crisp collar and the pockets on the front (which I didn't even know about until I received my order - best surprise). So fun that the back shifts to a different flannel pattern - perfect example of turning a classic prep style into something unusual and unexpected. The length was perfect, as I find that many button-up styles can run boxy. The shirt also tapers in a bit on the sides, so it's extremely flattering. I would have preferred a size down, and did end up renting it again in a smaller size - win win! Perfect transitional workwear, and the sleeves looked nice slightly cuffed and rolled up as well. Pair it with your favorite jeans and boots!

This ring made me feel SO fancy!!! I think I looked at it as much as I looked at my date that night. So sparkly, and really unique. I especially loved the black band so the jewels stood out even more. It was slightly big, especially with the opening, but was able to rock it on my forefinger without fear of it falling off. Would absolutely rent again to dress up a low-key cocktail dress! I wore it with the Alice + Olivia Marabella off-the-shoulder dress.

Classic shape, and fun to accessorize - loved wearing this for Valentine's Day. I sometimes struggle with off the shoulder styles staying put, but the wide band felt secure but still sexy! It can tend to roll up in the back, so good to have a buddy or cute date help you out when you first put it on. Extremely stretchy fabric, and waistline didn't hit at my natural waist - I would have preferred an XS so it would be more form-fitting, but it was extremely comfortable and still fit well. I paired it with a fab Oscar de la Renta cocktail ring, and dangly earrings.

Gorgeous, fun, flirty dress for everyday! I fell in love with this dress, and obsessed with how it can be dressed up or down. I wore it with white sneakers for a baby shower - feminine but still casual! The fabric was lovely, so flowy and comfortable. The flutter sleeves were a dream! Overall, amazing silhouette and extremely comfortable - no special underwear required. The waist is quite fitted, so I recommend choosing a backup that's one size up for maximum wearability. The v-neck is not low cut at all, which I really liked. This hit me mid-calf, so would possibly be floor-length for shorter people.

This dress immediately stood out to me! I'm all about going a bit edgy at weddings, and this was the perfect way to show a little skin but still class it up. The lace is gorgeous, and was extremely comfortable to dance in. It wouldn't be great for hot weather, especially with a very high neck, but the sleeves were perfect for in-between weather. Runs true to size, and I recommend sizing up for backup as there's not much stretch (other than the lace cutout) and the waist is very fitted. Hips are roomy though, so everywhere else is super comfy! I paired it with black chelsea boots, a leather jacket, and minimal jewelry.

Amazing (and comfortable) sequin ombre dress! Runs true to size. I originally intended to wear a medium with Spanx, but the small fit well and looked smoother without them - I recommend ordering a size up just in case. The dress has a good deal of stretch so it's super comfy and easy to dance in! The bust area also has a lot of stretch, but the high neckline is tight - overall, a super form-fitting garment. I'm 5'9" and the dress hit just below the knee, which was perfect for rocking some nude cutout heels. No need for flashy accessories - this dress is a hit on its own! Received many compliments and was asked out to dinner by two groomsmen. Perfect for stealing the show!
