Sexy and Sophisticated. The Perfect LBD

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I'm an LBD fanatic. I tend to always wear black. And it can get a bit boring. But this dress is exceptional. It's forgiving and flattering, chic and stunning. It's one of my favorite RTR rentals to date. It is a bit snug through the hips, so I would recommend going up a size if you're hippy. I wore it for a holiday charity event and it was perfect.

Loved this dress! It felt like a red carpet moment!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

At the last minute, the size six was unavailable. So I wore the 4 and felt really good in it surprisingly!:) it was a little hard to zip up but I didn't look stuffed into it once it was on. :) Still, I think the 6 would have been perfect! Lived the asymmetry and the length! Loved everything!

Great dress super comfortable but it was a little worn. I was glad i was not going to be at a well lit party. It looks great with a pare of really high heals that show off the lines! shoulders are narrow.

cute dress, but ill fitting on me

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I ended up not wearing this dress because it was steamed in an odd way. The gathered side was pressed in a way that it jotted out and made me look like I had a huge stomach, even though I really dont have one.. The dress also looked a little worn. Not for pear shaped bodies.

Fabulous dress that's flattering in all the right places

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

I rented this dress for a night out in Vegas and it was wonderful. I'm a Helmut Lang fan and knew that they ran small (I generally wear a large 8). It fit PERFECTLY. Maybe just a bit tight because I was pulling it down through the night, but nothing major. I loved the asymmetrical hemline, which made it a little sexier because the neckline is pretty high. I'm tall 5'11" and it hit for me right like the model. Definitely not for someone who is busty. Loved the shoulder details.

It just was a really cool dress with interesting details. I looked different enough to be special.

This is a relatively narrow fitting dress, but as a girl without any waist definition, it definitely gave me one. The asymmetrical neckline is great, and the details on the side are just cool.

Great dress for a winter party!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Sometimes it is hard to dress up for the winter parties, what with the cold dreary weather, but this dress is made of a heavier fabric that drapes perfectly. I was warm and comfortable all night. The length was perfect and I loved the spikey detail on the shoulders. Usually I wear a 4, but the 4 was a little tight in the chest, so I moved up to the 6 and it was perfect! I highly recommend this dress!! I had compliments all night!

This was a great simple style with a little flair! I loved the embellishment on the shoulders and the asymmetrical hemline...it ran a little narrow in the hips for me but was comfortable!
