I wore this dress to an athletic banquet and it was perfect for the occasion! I was in between an 8 and a 10, but went with the 8 because the 10 was baggy. *This dress doesn't always appear silver!

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I'm 5'4" and the dress was passed my knees and at first I didn't care for it, but once I walked around in the dress, I ended up loving it. I rented it for my bachelorette party and it was perfect!! And even better, the following Tuesday Catherine McPhee was wearing the same dress on an episode of Smash!!

I wanted to wow my students as a judge for the University talent show. Mission accomplished!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

The dress looks silver in the picture, but has blues and golds in person. Very mermaid-esque colors. I wore it as judge at my University talent show and it caught the lights perfectly. I looked like a mirror ball. I'm an administrator at the school, so I wanted to look stunning, but not inappropriate. The length was perfect and the dress wowed everyone! The size 0 fit me too, but strangely the length was too long. Maybe because the dress is supposed to blouse a little? The size 2 felt more comfortable and I liked the length better.

Loved it!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

Runs slightly large and is a little longer than it looks on the model. I'm 5'7" and didn't expect it to be quite as long as it was. I was thankful to have the option of two sizes and went with the smaller. Very pretty dress that is silver at times and also teal-ish in other lighting.

fun sparkly NYE dress

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

Rented this for New years but when it came the fit was odd. The dress fit but the slip underneath did not line up with the sparkly outer sheath correctly - it hung about 2 inches lower than the sparkly part. Kept having to adjust it so that the slip laid correctly but ended up returning it and going with another dress. I am a tall curvy girl so this dress was very fitted on me which I liked but I think this dress would also be great for a more petite frame if you are looking for a looser fit.

I felt like Blaire Waldorf! So much fun! Perfect for New Year's Eve.

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

The dress was a bit longer than I expected. Sometimes I have trouble with my lower half fitting into a size 10. I have serious hips. The dress was extremely flattering, and fit well. I was comfortable the whole evening. Literally every person I greeted throughout the evening complimented my dress. I couldn't be happier.

I wore this dress for my bachelorette party. The theme was glitter and this dress was too perfect! The website picture photographs more silver, but it is really much more aqua. This was not my expectation but I loved it anyways!

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress! The fit was great, it ran true to size. The only issue I had was that it was way to long. I'm 5'5" and the dress went to my knees. I didn't realize this when i ordered it. I fixed it with a couple safety pins but it annoyed me. Also, the color isn't just silver...The dress actually reflects the light depending on where you are. It reflects blue/rainbow tones. Its a wonderful dress and I'm so happy I picked it out!

The dress fit well and was very flattering. I wore a size 2 but I normally am a size 4. It was a bit on the longer side for me but it worked for a fashion show. Super fun dress, I suggest trying it out!

RTR made getting the perfect dress for a wedding absolutely flawless!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Fit was great and I was happy that the dress had 2 sizes in stock so I could ensure it would fit. This dress it a different color than I thought when I rented it. It's quite amazing and actually looks different in various kinds lighting. The image I uploaded looks very rainbow and "mermaid-y" as the description says, but in the light of my bedroom, it was more gold and icy blue. Overall, BIG success, so happy with the dress!

I wore this dress to my sorority recruitment Rho Gamma (recruitment guide) initiation. Surrounded by other sorority women that I had not met yet (since we're all from different chapters on campus), I was super nervous that I wasn't going to look the part. Loved this dress - was a little heavy and a bit warm for August but it looked so cute that I didnt mind! Great with nude pumps and a basic envelope clutch, no jewelry required since it's so sparkly!

This dress is so amazing! The colors within the sequins are so bold and really make you stand out in a crowd. The dress is such an easy fit that is is almost a no brainer. If you are looking for a sequined dress, this is the winner!

Loved this dress. I got so many compliments the entire night. The dress is longer than it shows on the model. I am 5'7" and with with 3 inch heels it still hit me just about the knees.

Very Mature

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I did not end up wearing the dress because it is very mature for me. The back isn't sheer it is more of a thin skin tone fabric. Also a size 8 is at the knees of someone 5'3 (no surprise but still). The dress was very straight and will not show any curves. I had to return it.

Fun, classy party dress!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for my bachelorette party and it was PERFECT! The cut is timeless and classic while the sequins add a really fun, unexpected touch! And the sheer back - wow - really sexy without being too revealing! You cannot wear a normal bra with this - I wore a Nu Bra and it was perfect. This dress is comfortable and definitely made me feel beautiful all night! Runs true to size.

So glad I rented a back-up!

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I was very surprised when this dress arrived at my house- it looks quite different in the model pics than in real life. Look at the actual member's pics before you rent. The sequins reflect a lot of blue and turquoise- they are actually pretty holographic. You can't tell this by RTR's pics. I didn't like it. Rented it for my birthday and was bummed when I tried it on. My bf gave me a sideways look when I showed it to him, so I knew it wasn't just me! This was the only RTR rental I've ever had that I didn't even want to try on. I did anyway, and it just didn't do it for me.

SPARKLE MANIA, loved it.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This turned out to be an amazing dress though I was pretty shocked when I got it because the sequins are NOT silver as they appear in the model photo. They are alternating bronzy gold and crazy holographic turquoise which is pretty wild if you thought you were getting a nude/silver combo.

pretty, but i sent it back

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I sent this one back, unfortunately. It's very pretty online but in person it looks very blue. i felt like a mermaid/disco ball. Also the middle part is elastic so it wasn't too tight but it looked too tight... kinda exaggerated the "love handles" so if that's a problem area for you, this may not be the best dress!

Sparkly and fun - but a little long

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

I wore this for my bachelorette party and it was perfect for the occaison. It has a lot more blue/green than the picture shows. The dress is also a bit long. On me it could have been an inch or two shorter. But overall it was really fun to wear! The back is sheer, but not so sheer that you have to go braless. If you wear a nude bra you should be fine.

A little long!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Large

I rented this GORGEOUS Erin Fetherson dress as a back up for my highschool's homecoming. It was absolutely stunning and would look great on the right body. I have a pettite figure and am almost 5'5". I got in a size 0 and the dress went about 2 inches past my knee. Luckily, it was just my back up and my actual dress fit great. I have farely long legs so I don't usually have a problem with dresses being too long but this one was. The bodice was also a bit loose. But, I would reccomend to girls over 5' 7".

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I thought that the dress was great, I was a little nervous about the sequins making the dress stiff, but that was not the case at all. I actually thought that the dress ran a little big in comparison to other designer dresses, but it was spot on for me, and fit great! I had a great time and it was comfortable!

Runs long!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Vacation

I didn't end up wearing this dress - it was SO long! It was so sparkly which should have made it fun, but with all the glitter and the extra long length, it felt a little too old for my Vegas vacation. I think for the right occasion and someone a bit taller, it would be a good fit, but it just wasn't for me.

I wore this for a "Ex-Pat's in Paris" themed networking party and got a million compliments!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

For some reason I opted out of ordering a second size and was so worried it wouldn't fit (I am a little hippy). Luckily, the size 6 fit perfect!! It stretched enough to accommodate my hips without looking like it was snug, but then still fit my small waist and chest nicely. Also, I'm 5'9" and was worried the dress would be short, it was completely appropriate, about 3 inches above my knee. I actually would have almost wanted it an inch or two shorter!
