Perfect LBD for my senior fashion show!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I wore this to my college's fashion show that my senior collection was in. It was very different than my collection and the black color helped everything else stand out. Also, the black Lilly Pulitzer was a choice made I specifically on account of her death (that woman was wonderful). The fit was looser up top than expected, but I tend to have the problem since I carry my weight in my hips and thighs. It was comfortable from the waist down and did not show my stomach. I am rather short, and when sitting I had to be careful - just a warning! It didn't bother me though. I would probably go far enough to buy this dress.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

It was a little larger than I was hoping - but with some fashion tape, it worked perfectly. It may have just been me ordering the wrong size at the time... but it ended up working out really well. I got so many compliments on this sassy dress and I definitely intend to order it again!

This dress was absolutely amazing. I wish I owned it! It was so incredibly comfortable, lightweight, and completely sexy! It was a tad shorter than I expected, but not too short. I usually wear a size 4 in all dresses, so I took a risk and this dress was awesome. I got so many compliments on it! Love it!

In one of NYC's prime dining spots, the maitre d' stopped me to tell me how beautiful my dress was!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

I was worried the dress would be small so I got two sizes, but I found this dress true to size. Just because of my shape, it was a little tight in the bust and loose in the waist (it didn't nip in the way it does on the model, but since I don't have her figure either, I won't complain!) but I was very pleased with it, and so was my husband!

Pros: good color, showed off the legs, fun to pair with jewelry, true to size, fit my weirdo body Cons: I wish it was a different material that maybe fit tighter around the waist I would recommend wearing spanx!

A night with fabulous women in a fabulous dress.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to my sorority's centennial celebration. It was very flattering and fashionable while also being appropriate for an event with women from 18 to 80. Pros: Comfortable, skims over the body, fits well without fashion tape (no wardrobe malfunctions here). Cons: Because it is not as fitted as some dresses, it can look baggy from certain angles. I ordered a 2 and a 4. The 4 was too big and the 2 fit well enough. I do wish I had erred on the smaller side and ordered the 0 and 2. Overall this is a great dress that received lots of compliments from all ages. I felt sophisticated and sexy all at once.

Definitely something different for a great night! Lots of compliments!

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The fit was very comfortable and the 10 was a little loose. I should note that the dress is VERY short -- I thought it was just because the model wearing the dress on the site is so tall, but I am 5'5" and it was very short! Great for our formal for a long night with lots of dancing! I got lots of compliments on the dress.

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress on New Year's Eve and it was fun and perfect! It is so light and fun to wear. The dress is a little on the short side, but still long enough to be comfortable. I loved that it was cute but still classy with the one long, sheer, sleeve. My rental experience was great and I will definitely be back!

Being able to wear a designer dress that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford to purchase.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I had a size 2 and a size 4 sent. I am between those sizes, so depending on the item I just never know. It is always nice when the smaller size fits! I usually have trouble with the length of dresses too being too long (even petite sizes, this dress was perfect for me falling just above the knee. Soooo many compliments on the dress too! It was very comfortable with minimal adjusting even when dancing. I'm very happy with the whole RTR experience, recommended RTR and will definetely be a return customer!

Fabulous Party LBD

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was incredibly feminine, lightweight, easy to dance in, and all around gorgeous! I felt so sophisticated and comfortable, especially since the 10 (my usual size) was plenty roomy, maybe even too big. The one sleeved definitely made it more glamorous than your typical black strapless minidress. I would totally rent this again and recommend it to anyone.

The dress was very short, especially since I'm 5'9". I wore it with tights though, so I felt more comfortable. The sleeve was short too, but I was wearing bracelets, so it actually helped show them off.

This dress is great for any occasion! Classy, but still different...I'd definitely recommend it!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I usually have a hard time finding dresses that are small enough in the waist and large enough in the hips, but this dress fits like a glove. It just skims over your waist and hips to show off your figure while still being classy and comfy. The detail sleeve is an interesting twist on the classic LBD, so it definitely stands out. The only issue might be that it is kinda short, so no bending over, but other than that, it's a great dress that runs true to size and is great for a wide variety of occasions!

Such an easy process. Dress was gorgeous.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I usually wear either a 2 or a 4 depending on the dress. With this dress I wore the 4 because, although the 2 fit very well throughout the body, it was too short for the occasion. The dress is amazing, extremely flattering and comfortable. Not once was I worried about keeping myself covered modestly, everything stayed where it was supposed to. This is an amazing dress and I'm considering purchasing it because I loved it that much!

Adorable, but too short to possibly wear!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

This dress was exactly what I wanted, except too many inches shorter than I could bear to wear. The sleeve was also a fairly awkward length. I suppose I could attribute all of this to my height, but I can't imagine the length being acceptable on anyone, especially with the flow of the dress.

The dress was perfect for New Years Eve! It fit perfectly, I never had to worry about it being too loose at the top. It is a bit short when you sit down but I wore it with tights and never had to worry the whole evening. This was my first experience with RTR and it was awesome. Thank you!

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

I wore this dress to my birthday dinner, but feared it might be too dressy. I dressed it down with a black leather jacket with army green sleeves. It's a great dress because it still looks cute dressed down, but can also be very classy. The clean lines are extremely flattering, especially around the mid-section. The length is cute and flirty (I'm 5'4"), but might be too short for a formal event. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the sleeve can be perceived as silty retro, but I still loved it. Highly recommended!
