Went on a double date for an early Valentine's dinner.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

The fabric on this dress was heavier than I expected, but that was fine since it was a cold night. I was torn between the 6 and the 8, I felt like the 6 was a bit too tight (especially in the hips) and the 8 was a bit too loose. In the end I wore the 8, but my husband thought they both looked good. I loved that I could wear a regular bra with this dress. The biggest negative is that both dresses definitely looked worn, I don't think anyone would notice unless they looked very close but the fabric had obviously been laundered multiple times. All in all I was very happy with the dress, and I did get a random compliment from another customer at the restaurant.

Classy color for gala evening

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Perfect for a benefit auction, dinner and dancing. Classy & sophisticated for a 50+ yr old, ok to eat in because of the fabric gathers at the waist, and comfortable for dancing . The RtR experience was great; everything worked as planned. The dress was in fine shape (as were the backup size and 2nd dress). I wore a jet bead necklace and red patent pumps. Got several compliments from other women, my husband loved it, and I was so glad not to be part of the sea of black.

Not too flashy

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I actually picked this dress last minute when the one I originally ordered became unavailable for my rental date. I was quite please when I received this one. I wore it to a company holiday party. The asymetrical hem is more drastic than it looks in the picture, but in a good way. The short side was shorter than I expected, but I also have bigger legs to fill out the dress. The long side came just above the knee. I actually wore it with sheer black stockings, although this pic shows me without them. Overall was fun a comfortable!

Best all-around

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

My husband couldn't keep his hands off me, and I didn't even think this dress was particularly sexy. In fact I wore it to work with tights and conservative pumps, then changed to boots for after-work drinks. The material feels great. The ruching in front is flattering. The asymmetric neckline is unique. The black along the sides is slimming. I'd be happy to rent it again!

Awesome party dress!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress was great and I received compliments on it all night long. It has a little strech to it so it's easy move around and super comfortable. I wore spanx to smooth everything out, but the dress is very flattering with rouching over the stomach area to hide any little flaws. Bonus - the black side panneling is extremely slimming!

Celebrating two of my best friends 30th birthdays!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Party

The dress was perfect for dinner and drinks. It was very comfortable and flattering because of the black panels on the sides. It did run a little big (I'm usually a 2) but it would have been ok if the dress was a little big also because of the draping. Got tons of compliments!

Overall fit: True to Size

I LOVE this dress! The way the fabric lays is super flattering and it hides any figure flaws. The neckline and hemline of the dress are both really interesting and made the dress super chic. I also loved the black paneling down the sides because it was very slimming. Overall, I love this dress and because there is stretch to it, it is really easy and comfortable!

Back up dress, ended up wearing it to brunch on Mother's Day

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

Great dress. It was very comfortable. I rented it as a back up dress for a high school theatre banquet. Although I didn't wear it to the banquet, I was able to wear it to brunch on Mother's Day. Very flattering to most body types. I wore the 6 to make room for the extra food I would be eating at brunch. :) The 4 fit perfectly for any other occasion.

This dress looked really pretty in the photo, very edgy. This was the dress I wore for my charity event. It fit the best out of the dresses I got. The dress i got seems a little worn. The colors were not as bright as the photos. It was very comfy and easy to move in.

I rented an 8 and returned it without wearing. The dress was both too big and too long. The material looks better in pictures and from a distance. Up close, it was blah looking.

So Comfortable

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

This dress was super comfortable. I loved the neckline, it was very sexy. The hem is eye catching and not something you see on every dress. My usual size 10 wasn't available so I took a chance and ordered the 8. Because of the stretch of the material, it worked. My husband loved the way it hugged my curves. The dress was in good shape, the only negative was it seemed like it had been worn a lot. Tiny pills all over the dress but since this is a rental and not new, that's to be expected. RTR service was excellent and easy.

It has black panels on the sides which are slimming. The V-neck of the dress and the uneven hem of the dress make it quite sexy. I would love to own this dress.

A great alternative to a LBD!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I always head straight to the traditional LBDs and decided to step out of my comfort zone with this one. We had two parties on the same night -- one at a trendy downtown restaurant, the other at a home in the ritzy part of town, and this dress was appropriate for both venues. The dress is comfortable and stunning without being over the top. It's quite beautiful in person. The black side panels give a slimming affect and help it to fit just-so. Many women complimented me on the dress and they were specifically drawn to the muted print being paired with black side panels -- the two complement each other without taking away from the lively print. I ordered a size 4 and size 6 and didn't even try on the 4 as the 6 fit comfortably. The fabric has a slight give and the neckline lays very well. I would encourage anyone who feels stuck in the black dress mode to try this dress for a change of pace. I'm used to accessorizing a LBD. When this dress showed up I kind of panicked. The panic was short-lived as I dug into my closet for ideas. In the end I paired it with black tights and black booties (and a very plain J Crew black cardigan, which I didn't wear at the restaurant but did at the home party) and it was not only comfortable but weather appropriate! There are many ways to dress this up or down. I also considered wearing tights with black boots, but I loved the way the booties added to the edginess of the dress. ** Sorry -- we didn't get any pictures of me in the dress!! ** I'm 6-foot and this dress is shorter than what I usually wear, but with tights I didn't feel self-conscious at all.

This dress is soft and edgy. I rented a 2 and 4 and only the 2 was shipped. It was too small but i think the 4 would have been perfect. RTR sent me a new dress in 24 hours and it was stunning too. I would recommend this dress and may try to rent it again for my next party!

Pretty Dress, But Runs Large

Size worn: None

Beautiful dress, but probably not the best fit for petitie, skinny women. I am 5'3 and 95 pounds and the 0 was a tad too big. Not sexy enough for me for a night out.

Beautiful dress, however seemed a little too short for my liking (I am almost 6 ft tall). If you are tall, straight and thin may not be the right dress for you. This was my back up dress, so ended up wearing something else.

Warm

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This seems like it could be lightweight but the back and sides are made of a woolly material that is actually quite warm. A bit heavy for September but will be great in the Fall and Winter! Got a ton of compliments, very sexy fit.
