Cute, feminine top
It fit true to size. It's a pretty shirt... very feminine . I wore to my son's 2nd bday - so I could move around in it and didn't have to worry about it. Only con - the sleeves. So loose I had to "tuck" them into the elastic when trying to clean up, serve cake, etc.

A comfy, cute sweatshirt.
I really liked this sweatshirt. It was cute, comfortable (wore it to work for 12+ hours), and versatile (also wore it out to dinner). I only gave it 4 stars bc it was a tad short. I did feel like I had to pull it down every so often bc is the length and the elastic waist (would ride up).

Great little romper!
I am a recent convert to the romper bandwagon... This was my second romper rental and I am starting to kick myself for only now hopping on board. It was so cute. It was a touch short for me (about 1-2 inches above the fingertip test), but I still thought it was appropriate to wear (after encouragement from my husband and friends). I wore it as a boatneck (not off the shoulders), and it still worked. It was comfortable, and it made me feel pretty. I totally recommend!

It's gorgeous!
I didn't give it 5 stars because it didn't arrive "crisp" enough.... it was very wrinkled upon arrival. I did my best to steam it/iron it, and I got it to an appropriate place to actually wear... BUT it would have been even better with a crisper feel (if that makes sense). The shirt was comfortable and effortless. I wore it with skinny cropped black pants and black heels to work (it's a causal environment), and the moment I walked into the building I started receiving compliments. I will probably keep this for a while since it can translate into many wears/events/occassions.

Barely able to breath
This is a really pretty dress... The houndstooth is a print on a lightweight fabric, so it's perfect for the late spring/summer. Also, it has a hint of light blue in it. Again, very pretty, and I wish it would have worked. I am usually either a 6/8 in dresses, so I got the 8 (based on other reviews saying it ran small), and boy, did it run small. I could barely zip it up, and when it did zip... Super unflattering. I think a 10 would still have been too snug. So, if you are going to to it, I would recommend sizing up two sizes.

Gorgeous, COMFORTABLE dress! Loved It!
Based on other reviews, I ordered a size 8L. I usually wear either a 6 or an 8; so to be safe, I went with the 8, and I am so glad I did. It was super comfortable and still had a enough structure to accentuate all of the right curves. I didn't NEED to wear Spanx with it (again bc it fit really well), but I did, just to give it a cleaner line. Only downfall to potentially "sizing up" was that the shoulder strap was too long...In other words, after zipping up the dress and making sure it fit around the bust properly, I had about 2 extra inches of fabric in the shoulder. So, I had to pull it down and tuck the extra fabric into the back of the dress/my bra strap. My only guess for this "issue" is that I am not that busty?!? Who knows. But once tucked, I had no problems with it (only minor re-tucks from my husband throughout the night), and I felt SO beautiful in this dress. I also loved that I didn't have to constantly pull the dress up, which was a slight concern when I ordered it (again bc I am not busty); it's so well made, with the right boning and "corset" in the bust, that it just worked. It's an effortless dress that is just gorgeous in person. I also think it photographs really well. I received a ton of compliments... I LOVED it and wish I could have kept it! Also, definitely order the long if you are 5'9;" I only wore 1.5" heels and it was the perfect length ( a regular would have been too short).

Great first experience with Unlimited!
I got this dress in my first unlimited order. and overall I really like it. In the stock photos, it looks like a red and blue dress, but in actuality, it's blue with red, and orange "dashes" all over -- which makes it unique. I also liked the shape of the dress, very fitted until top of legs/bottom of hips. I do think it runs small though. I have a small(er) bust, and the dress fit perfectly across it (not too tight, not too loose). If you are bigger up top, I think you would need to size up. Also, since it is so form fitted, I felt like I needed to wear Spanx to help with the clean line. Not sure if sizing up would have been better for that. I did receive multiple compliments on the dress, and I did feel pretty in it... But I am not sure if I would rent it again (especially since there are so many other options!)
