Color in winter
Great dress, comfy, flattering and pretty.

Unique piece
I love this piece, although it's a little challenging to figure out where/how to wear it. It's very heavy, but sleeveless. I'm usually cold, so wearing it indoors worked for me, but for me they'd probably get hot. It's still an awesome unique piece, and one of the reasons RTR works for me. Wearing pieces I probably wouldn't buy.

Nice change of pace
I generally find Tory Burch a little too cutesy for me, but this was a nice dress, fit well and comfortable. True to size. I didn't love the boots I wore with it, but also didn't feel tall boots looked better.

Always blue
It's hard to find a true blue color like this jumpsuit. The color is even more beautiful in person. Great fit, comfortable, easy to get on and off, and the right length for me.

Major summer vibes
I loved wearing this top! Just a little bit of a gap under my arm/chest area. Still a major winner.

Summer dress with style
This is the first wrap dress that I have worn in awhile that I felt was very flattering. It flows nicely and was very comfortable.

Stunner!
Compliments from those who you'd never think would compliment! This dress is so beautiful in person. The fabric is soft and flowy. I love this dress so much, I'm tempted to buy it.

Intro to summer
Lovely dress. Could be worn on in number of occasions. It was a tad bit big on me. Could have probably work the medium. I tied it in as tight as I could in the waist, but it was still a little to big there. Still loved it.

What RTR is meant for
I think the thing I like most about RTR unlimited is the chance to wear things I might not necessarily purchase. To sort of push the limits and wear edgier pieces. I think this skirt fits in that category. If I saw it on the rack I would probably pass it up, but on reviewers you realize it's a gorgeous piece. It was comfy and wore well on a 10 hour workday. I did a presentation and felt very chic and fun wearing it.

Not the one
It was too short, had weird lines that shown through the belly area from the lining. I returned it without wearing.

Fun twist added to a traditional black jumpsuit.
The details on the sleeves and shoulders make this anything but your average jumpsuit. Fit true to size and, unlike a lot of jumpsuits, this was fairly easy to zip up on your own. I wore this out to dinner with friends, and paired it leopard kitten heels, because it's cold right now. However, you could also easily turn this into an outfit for any season, with a change of heels and different jewelry.

To breath or not to breath
While the arms and bottom half fit wonderfully, the chest was so tight. Because I'm a fool for fashion, I still wore it to work. I don't know if sizing up would have worked. I almost think that would have made the dress look too baggy, since the fit everywhere but the chest was perfect. It was probably just not meant for me. The pros: the cut at the bottom was very unique and flattering. I still received a lot of compliments, even though I couldn't take a full breath .

Compliments make it a five star
I wasn't so sure when I put this top on. I felt it might not be flattering with the puffy ruffle detail, but as soon as I walked out my door I was clearly wrong. I received compliments all day long in this top. As others have shown, this seems to be classically paired with black trousers/dress pants. The material is soft and comfy. The only negative is the bust was very form fitting. It seemed to squish my chest in a little more than I'd like. I'm a 34D for reference.

Grey is just as good as the black pair
I reviewed the same pair, but in black. These are unique and nice fitting dress pants. As mentioned in the other review, the 10 is slightly baggy, but I like that fit with these pants. I will mention that the material is on the thinner side, but still suitable to wear in all seasons.

Almost bought this beauty
I wore this everyday we were on vacation in Istanbul. It was perfection. The coat is not very heavy, so it's perfect for layering under it. The temps were in the high 30's to the low 50's while we were there and I was warm and fashionable the entire time.

Blah
I was looking for a conservative sweater to wear on vacation in a Muslim country, and this was just blah. Nothing terribly wrong with it, just boring and not all that flattering.

Great everyday/work trouser with a cool detail
The picture doesn't really show the awesome detail in the front of these pants, but it's super cute. They are comfortable and the 10 was slightly baggy the way I like them. I like these so much I bought them. :)

I channeled Beyoncé in this one!
This was an amazing dress. Fit was perfect, well lined and yet not hot and heavy. When I walked the dress literally flowed; so stunning! Sometimes I rent a dress that's very expensive and think, I would never pay this much for this dress! Not the case here. It screams expensive yet classy. I can't wait to rent again.

Stylish but odd fit
When I stood these high-waisted pants were a little baggy in the belly. However, when seated they were snug through the legs. I would agree with a previous poster that they do loosen up with wear. They are a stylish pair of trousers with a beautiful ruffle detail, but I don't believe I'd rent them again due to the ill-fit.

My first RTR unlimited was a success.
This was my first go at RTR and I went straight for the unlimited option. I probably could have worn the 8, but being a newbie I went with the 10 just in case. I'm glad I did because the loose fit made it more work appropriate. Although it's long sleeved, it is made a of a light flowy material. It would be easy to pair it with strappy sandals for a warmer weather look. Jewelry wasn't really necessary, as the high-collar and ruffled detail was accessory enough. I received compliments on this dress from almost everyone I came in contact with. Be prepared to get loads of attention! :)
