Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress and based on all the compliments I got, so does everyone else. It was modest yet still classy and sexy. My fiance said it was my best RTR rental yet. I wore emerald green gemstone earrings for a pop of color!

Not my best style but lovely

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I ended up wearing another RTR dress to a post-wedding brunch. My mother didn't like the way the dress puffed out in front around the stomach area, but everyone else thought the dress was lovely. If you are someone who likes to wear black and white, this dress may be wonderful for you.

Material is gorgeous!

I was very excited to try this dress on and potentially wear it to a shower but the fit is very hard. I felt like the cap sleeve made my arms like chubby (the arm holes were very small) and there was a lot of extra material in the skirt. It is beautiful though! Maybe someone who is very tall 5'9" and has very small arms would look great in it!

Beautiful, intricate dress--worth renting for upscale event

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I rented this dress and wore it to work. The dress is as beautiful in person as it is in the picture. It has a really beautiful and intricate detail over the bottom layer. In terms of fit, it is loose fitting from the waist down due to the pleats. So, if you are looking for something body-conscious, this is not the dress for you. I would recommend this dress to anyone looking for a beautiful dress to wear to an upscale event.

Beautiful and versatile

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I am usually a 4 or 6 (usually a 4) and the 4 in this dress was a little small, whereas the 6 was a smidge large. Went with the 6 and was happy I did because the dress is well tailored and the 4 would have shown every place where it was tight. The top portion is more of a linen color than white, and the black overlay is delicate and pretty. Zip up back and front pleats at the waist. Perfect or a party or for a nice day at church.

Classy, lady-like dress....

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Other

This dress is most appropriate for luncheons, bridal or baby showers and parties for women. Other women appreciate the details of this dress. The skirt was a little bit large and long on me, but because we were seated at a luncheon for most of the time, it was fine. Very well made and the fabrics looked great.

Love, love, love this dress. I got so many compliments! At first I was a little unsure, because on the hanger it doesn't look that special - but after trying it on, it hugs all the right places (very important for us curvy girls). Will definitely be renting again!

This dress was awesome. True to size and so rich. I had a shoe that I've had for at least 5 years exactly like it. I was totally fabulous.

Rehearsal Dinner Hit

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I wore this to my best friend's wedding rehearsal dinner and my one regret is that somehow I didn't get any pictures in this dress! I was nervous about the size because I can wear either a 4 or a 6 when it comes to dresses, so I called someone at RtheR and she advised me that the dress tended to run slightly (only slightly) large. This was my "backup" dress from RtheR and I only could get one size, so I went with the 4 and it was absolutely perfect. Several people commented that it looked like the dress was tailored specifically for me. The dress is very well made and the fabric and fit is very high quality. Since I'm 5'11", sometimes shoulders and arm holes can be a bit small for me, but I didn't have any problems. The length was perfectly demure on me (just to the knee) and would probably fall at or below the knee for women who are a bit shorter than me. I wore it with nude pumps and felt like a million bucks.

Pretty, but not for me.

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I got this as a complimentary backup when my first choice was missing its belt - was excited about being able to rent a pricier dress for free, but ended up going with my first choice and using a belt I already owned. This dress was pretty, but not a winner on me - the 8 looked alright, but was uncomfortably tight; the 10 felt better on, but seemed to swallow me up. The white cap sleeves were more off-white and the whole dress was heavy and stiff and made me feel frumpy, even in the smaller size. Maybe better for someone with a larger bust to fill it out? I LOVED my first dress though, and customer service was great in allowing me to choose a backup in case it hadn't worked. This was just not the dress for me.
