Incredibly Flattering
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress is gorgeous and incredibly easy to wear. I am 6 months pregnant and was very nervous about what to wear for my husband's formal holiday party, but when I saw this material described as "very stretchy" I took a game and it really worked out. This would be flattering on almost everyone. The black front is very slimming (one person didn't even realize I was pregnant until he saw me from the side!) and has ruching that will camouflage most stomachs. The length is great, at 5'3" 3-3.5 inch heels worked fine. And the back is so sexy, I got several compliments. Great dress, I would definitely rent it again.

I wore this dress to my husbands annual Christmas party. Non-stop compliments on the dress, and once they saw the back their jaws would drop. Definitely a memorable dress. It was also nice to see that I was the only one wearing this dress and anything like it.

I usually wear a small, but in this the XS just fit better overall. So many compliments on the back of the dress....It is gorgeous that way it falls. I wore it to a fundraising gala and it was perfect. I highly recommend this dress!

Amazing dress!
Size worn: ML
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was AMAZING! I am a big fan of BCBG which is why I picked it. I received a SL and a ML - and both fit basically the exact same, but the ML was maybe an inch longer which is why i went with it. It's a SUPER comfortable dress, very stretchy, very flattering, and I received so many compliments from people I didn't even know! It's totally backless so I wore it without a bra, and the material is thick enough that it was fine. I felt super cute and comfortable and would totally recco it! It runs pretty true to size, and is a great rental.

I rented a small and I think I could have gone XS but it still fit great! I am 5'5 and 130 pounds and wore Christian Loubotins and the length was perfect. I received SO many compliments on Facebook, IG and at the Gala. The dress is definitely a show stopper. I couldn't be happier. Thank RTR for another fabulous gown!

Best Rental Ever
Size worn: SL
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I have rented a lot of dresses in the past couple years, but this one tops them all. This dress fit like a glove. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the bag, was the vibrant blue color in the back. It was such a gorgeous shade of blue. The "Long" was a perfect length for me with 3 inch heels, and it just brushed the floor. It was fitted around my body by long and flowy at the bottom, which was flattering. I wore both shoulders up, but you could also play with it a little and wear one off the shoulder. The gold chain detailing was really unique. I wore a Nu-Bra (just the stick cup pieces) since it was an open back, and they worked out fine. The material of the dress is thick, and it felt so luxurious. I got a lot of compliments, especially on the high-quality appearance of the dress. I absolutely loved this dress from the second I saw the picture online, and I am so glad it held up (exceeded) to my expectations.

Classy and elegant! I recieved compliments all night!
Size worn: SL
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I saw this dress in BCBG retailing for $340 and I remembered seeing it on RTR. I tried it on in the store, said I wasn't feeling it, and raced home to rent it on the runway for only $100!! I ordered it so last minute- 2 days before the wedding. Unfortunately, I wanted a Medium Long but the size was unavailable. I wound up getting a size small, long. The fabric is very stretchy, I had a bit of a Kim Kardasian butt in it but who doesnt want that?! I am 5'8'' and wore 2 inch heels, the long was slightly short. So if your around my height and want to wear 3+ inch plus heels definitely get the extra long. A chunky necklace made this dress pop even more!

Great dress, fit like a glove!
Size worn: SR
Overall fit: True to Size

I wore this dress to a black tie event when I was 6 months pregnant and it was amazing! The material is stretchy and forgiving, so I felt beautiful even with a bump. I would wear this dress again when I'm not pregnant because it's so flattering. I'm 5'3" and the size small with 4 inch heels was perfect.

Amazing Dress!

Overall fit: True to Size

I am 5'7", 34C, and the XS fit like a glove. The small was too large and baggy. I love that this dress looked a little plain from the front, but when you turned around, "Bam!" I had so many compliments on it! It was very comfortable and easy to dance in.

Interesting dress, but too "off-center" for me
Size worn: MR
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wanted to love this dress & I liked it fine, but I didn't love it...I ended up wearing another one. It did fit well & was very comfortable - however, the asymmetrical design was just too strange for me (& I do like asymmetry in dresses, usually). I felt that it looked slightly off-center...but not enough that it was obvious that it was done on purpose. I couldn't figure out a good way to wear it so it looked right. Also, the material is very clingy around the hips, which can be good or bad, depending on your preference. The R length ended up being perfect for me, even with tall heels...so had I worn the dress, I would have been glad I didn't get the L.

I loved this dress. It was simply elegant in the front and sexy in the back. Perfect fit. I received a ton of compliments. The dress did fall of the shoulder a bit.

Wow! Possibly my favorite of 4 RTR rentals so far.
Size worn: SL
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. Everyone loved this dress. I was nervous renting this one at first for a few reasons. 1) No one had reviewed it yet, 2) I wasn't sure the front would be flattering since there was not a straight on picture, 3) I was worried it would end up looking like a big tent. This dress was so flattering. The jersey is a nice heavy jersey so it hangs beautifully. It skimmed over my hips just right and made me look thinner than I actually am. Obviously the back is amazing; that's why they show that first in the pictures. It's asymmetrical so doesn't drape down the center of your back but off to one side rather. The shoulders can be worn straight across like a boat neck but I found it more flattering to wear just off one shoulder. It's edgy for sure. The drape in the back is not so low that you need to be concerned you're giving anyone a free show. Lastly, I am just under 5'6 and wore 3.5 inch heels. I am SO glad I ordered the long. Last time I was on the fence about ordering regular or long and wished all night I had gotten long. Great dress! I know people always say they hate returning a dress but this one is actually a reasonable price so I may have to purchase it.
