LOVE.THIS.DRESS.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this for a New Year's Eve party and received compliments all night. It has a sexy, but classy quality to it. It falls a bit below the knee and accentuates a womans body very well. It was very comfortable other than I couldn't raise my arms up above my head because of the way the sleeves fall. Great quality material and the lace is gorgeous. I would rent this dress again in a heart beat.

This dress was amazing. The lace on the top made it so special!

The fit was definitely true to size but didn't have much stretch so it's a snug fit. I was worried that it would be too long but I think it was perfect for the event and great with a higher heel. It's definitely very comfortable - what a great experience!

This dress is stunning. It fits like a glove, and feels expensive. I got so many compliments on this dress. It was perfect for a cocktail-attire, autumn wedding. It's conservative but also sexy - check out the lace back!

This summer, I married my friends, who were high school sweethearts. This was my Reverend attire.

I cannot even begin to explain the neckline of the dress: intricate, luxurious, simply STUNNING. The dress is very obviously expensive and well worth it. I found it to fit tts, with no wiggle room. The material is thick and has NO stretch. I would get your back up in a size larger. However, due to the lining, you can get away without Spanx.

I would not normally be drawn to this dress, but when I put it on, I felt SO fabulous. It's so ladylike and chic, and the material is thick and beautiful. Perfect for a fall/winter luncheon or show!

I wore this dress to a wedding and honestly stole the show away from the bride. It was a hit.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size

This is a fabulous dress. Make sure you've detoxed and gotten rid of all your bloat before you wear it though, because it definitely fits like a glove. I had to have my boyfriend help zip it up because the zipper was stubborn, so you might need a buddy to help with that. I suggest wearing a barely-there lace thong to avoid those annoying underwear lines showing though. No need for a bra, this dress offers all the support you'll need.

I rented this for my parents 50th anniversary party. It was a daytime affair, but very dressy. The dress was amazing.. gorgeous fabric, and the lace on top is stunning. I received non stop compliments.. it has movie star quality in it's impact! Really special, and comfortable too.

A little extra beyond the LBD.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
This is a great dress. I rented it for an engagement party as my back up and chose it because it was classier and more elegant that my other choice which was more of a party dress. It fit perfectly. As other reviewers say, the sleeves do sort of tie your arms to your side. For me, since I wasn't dancing, this was not a problem, but I could definitely see that getting annoying if I were. It's a nice dress with something a little extra beyond the LBD.

This dress is gorgeous. The fabric was slightly different from what I expected (a bit thicker), but the lace detailing is so elegant and beautiful. Rent it!

This is the best dress I have ever rented from RTR. It was so elegant and beautiful. I was glowing!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I feel the dress fits true to size. It falls at the knee, so wouldn't be good for a wild night out, but I wore it to a wedding and felt it was the perfect dress for the event. Classy, elegant, slimming, beautiful. I loved the dress and received several compliments. it's great for any special event - cocktail party, a meet the parents dinner, fundraiser, you name it. Something where you want to look beautiful but not too revealing. the lace detail is really beautiful and the material of the entire dress is really high quality.

Amazing, classy yet sexy dress
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size

I cannot say enough about how much I loved this dress. The material is amazing, thick silk that lays beautifully and the lace detailing is done elegantly. The length is a bit long, but that seems to be the trend and it help set off the sexy detail on top. Rent this dress!

The dress doesn't live up to its picture.
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I was very surprised how big the dress was. I ended up letting my sister wear it because she filled it out better. The fabric was thick and kind of clunky. It looked great on her, but it just wasn't what we expected.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to wear it b/c it arrived too late. But I eventually tried it on when it arrived. It's stunning - simple, yet dramatic. I have a large chest and I thought this dress was perfect!

This dress was PERFECT!! I absolutely loved it and so did everyone else. I got so many complements on this dress that it makes me want to rent it again! I am short so I was concerned that the dress was going to be too long, however it was perfect I hit just in the middle of my knee but didn't look like it was too long.

I absolutely loved this dress! I rented it for a summer black tie wedding and it worked out great! The dress fit perfectly - it was amazing and received many compliments. It's a little hard to put you hands fully over your head so might have to sit out for the YMCA but overall this dress and fabric is great, very comfortable, and easy to dance in!
