Feeling sexy but not revealing too much.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Fit perfectly snug but wasn't restricting. It hard to tell from the photos and descriptions but it is a very heavy material so would not be good for events in late spring or summer. Luckily, the weather was fairly chilly the day I wore it so it worked out perfectly and kept me warm!

Nice dress, but not a favorite.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

This dress with the necklace came together nicely but the dress on it's own wasn't that exciting. I received a lot of compliments on the back.

Easy and elegant.

Overall fit: True to Size

I definitely didn't fill it out in the bust area and it's nearly impossible to wear a bra with this dress because of the back. I got lots of compliments on it, however. It's classy but the back provides a bit of a surprise.

Perfect demurely sexy LBD

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this for my company's holiday party. I wanted to wear something conservative-ish (it was also partly on a boat in the middle of winter, so I needed the sleeves) but edgy and sexy. This dress fit the bill!

I could act totally silly in this dress, with no worries about wardrobe malfunctions.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I did not feel Amish at all in this dress! (See review below.) Rather, I felt glamorous, sophisticated and a little edgy. I wore this to a holiday party with a simple faux pearl necklace, with my hair up. The material is heavy with a slight ribbed texture, which was really flattering and helped smooth everything out. Perfect length. The open back is fun -- a couple of guys I hadn't seen in awhile gave me hugs and got a little surprise with the open back (haha). Attaching this silly picture so you can see the front of the dress, with it's cool pleating.

I did not wear this dress. There was no stretch at all and was therefore a little tight on the arms and around the shoulders.

Nice Dress but Beware!

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I generally wear an 8 or 10 in clothes so I ordered a 10 and a 12. I would rather something fit a little bigger than something being way to small or uncomfortable. I tried on the 12 first expecting it to be a little too big BUT that was not the case. It fit great everywhere but the arm area which made it impossible to pull all the way up to my armpits in order to snap the back. This material is thick and the arm area does not have much give room if you have broad shoulders and those untoned arms that many curvy women get especially right before spring. I ordered last minute assuming at least one of the 2 would work which left me scrambling that day to buy something. This was my first RTR experience but they had the dresses promptly the day of my event. Definitely order at least a day ahead next time in case of snafus but overall it was a good experience just wish I could've worn the dress!

nice LBD

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for New Years Eve. I loved the back of it, as the front is sort of "plain," the back adds a little bit of sexiness. I am normally a size 8, but they only had a size 10 left when I went to order it (last minute!), but I was actually glad I ordered the 10, as I think the 8 may have been a little too snug for me (but I don't like my dresses to fit too tight). Overall, I liked the dress and would rent it again!

Stunning, classic dress

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to my engagement party. I love that it's covered up and conservative in the front but more modern in the back. The material is sturdy and the dress feels incredibly well made.

nice look, weird fit

Size worn: None

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I asked for a size 4 and 6, and only received the 4. It was slightly snug around the thighs and shorter than I thought it would be so I ended up wearing something else.

Really elegant and deceptively simple - conservative from the front, sexy in the back. It's a great dress if you want to look sexy but not over-the-top.

Nothing special

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress has a great back, but I was a little disappointed with the front. It was too loose in the top (the bottom fit fine) and was't particularly flattering. My least favorite dress from this site so far.

Wore this to my company's party and it fit perfectly! I don't have many curves so the front and back fit great. I usually can wear anywhere between 0-2 depending on the brand/designer, but the 0 fit prefectly. I do have some backside curve, but not much, and it was still snug and body hugging. It hit my mid-thigh similar to the model photo. Fabric is thicker and heavier so it was perfect for my holiday party!

The dress is great and I got a lot of compliments on it. However, I had a lot of trouble with the snap in the back - it kept popping off if I leaned forward!

for a different occassion...

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I had rented this for a wedding I was attending. Fortuneately I had a backup dress because this one just didn't work. The style was simple and chic, but with the high collar and super-thick fabrication, it felt more appropriate for different event. It didn't have a lot of movement and I knew I would have been adjusting it all evening.

Wore this dress to a work event and someone literally wanted to buy it off my back. I thought the lines were chic and sophisticated and loved the fit. The skirt is a little tight so size up for your back-up if your pear shaped.

These dress is really beautiful, however if you are petite, it was too large for me in the arms, waist and back area. I would suggest at least being 5'5 to wear this dress well, I didn't mind the length because I wanted something longer, but it just looked a bit baggy everywhere on the top. Hope it works out for someone else! I had to give 1 star because I did not wear the dress and returned it for a merchandise credit. Great customer service for returns!

I really wanted to love this dress and I had been waiting for the perfect occasion to rent it! Since it was listed as a mini, I assumed it would work for me. It came all the way down to my knees. The material is also very thick, which I could have lived with, but the super conservative front plus the knee-length just wasn't working on my body type. So sad :(

The back is obviously adorable, but the pockets stuck out funny in the front (the material is very thick and stiff.) When my boyfriend asked me if I was Amish, I was glad I had a backup dress.
