This dress had just enough sparkle for a fun night out. Was heavy weight stretchy material. Super flattering. Warm enough for a winter night out. Front wasn't too low cut and the sequins were a fun touch. Short but not too short. Long sleeves helped to balance it out. 

The dress fit great! But being tall I opted to wear the large rather the the medium, because the large was just a tad longer, and since it was a work event I opted for that. But it was a bit big in the chest for that reason as well. 

I didn't end up wearing this to the event because it was my backup style, and I loved the main style (Rachel Zoe Eyelash Shift) which fit my event theme a little better. But this dress is incredibly flattering and comfortable. I would definitely rent it for a holiday party. The fabric is stretchy and the cut is very flattering. I'm a bit boxy and carry my weight in the mid-section, and this gave me an actual waist. The vee neck is fairly deep and the skirt short, which give it some sexiness without going over-the-top. I was able to wear a regular bra with it. Really practical and pretty.

The fit is flawless, and made me feel incredible. I was a bit nervous to wear such a sexy dress a few months after having my 2nd baby, but the cut is very flattering, especially around the abdomen. The fabric is very soft and stretchy, but still hugs your curves. I wanted to buy this dress!

I was 6 months pregnant and the fabric was stretchy and very comfortable. It is a little short, so I went with tights under. I was weighing in at about 180 at the time. If you're a tall girl like me the sleeves are ever-so-slightly short, but not noticeable. Easy to wear a comfy bra underneath. I got lots of compliments. I would definitely recommend. 

This dress was absolutely beautiful and SO comfortable!! I got so many compliments on it at the wedding I went to. The wedding I attended was in November, and this was perfect with the long sleeves. I could have worn the small, but I didn't want it to be super tight, so I went with the medium. I usually wear a size 6. I highly recommend this dress!

Definitely a dress that will capture attention! It fits nicely and leaves a little extra room in the front. In my opinion it runs true to size. 

This was a great dress to rent for a chilly evening wedding. The material was very comfortable.  I felt that it was a bit short on me even though I am only 5'3". I still really love wearing it and felt great in it! The sparkly V-neck stood out. Lots of compliments! I love RTR!

This was a fantastic dress--I really feel like the photos of all the girls who have tried it give better justice than the model photos. This dress hugged all the right places (I am a very classic hourglass) and I received compliments all night! I highly recommend this dress.

Pros - the rouching, the material was stretchy

Cons - I don't have any!

The dress for great and was flattering.  Accented the right curves.

I rented this dress for a night out in Vegas- dinner then a DJ at XS. The dress was super stretchy and was very comfortable. I wore the XS and there was still plenty of room but you couldn't tell by looking at it. The v-neck was tasteful but still showed just enough. The sequins are gold, but more of a darker gold, not a bright gold (if that makes sense).  The dress is very forgiving and felt great all night! 

Some of the sequins were loose but you can't tell unless you look very close. The zipper got stuck in one spot but with a little help, it was fine. 

Love this dress! It fit great and showed off my curves. The glitter and sleeves made it perfect for my February birthday. The picture is actually a day after shot so don't mind that! 

I rented this for Valentines Day and it was really beautiful. It ran a little large up top but nothing obvious. I loved it!

This dress had a little stretch, which was great for a nice fit. As others have mentioned, the sparkles are more gold than silver. I normally am a 8/10 and ordered both the M and L. I didn't even try on the large, I was happy with the mediums fit, though it was a bit shorter than my usual. Overall I was pleased! 

Went out in AC. Dress was comfy and stylish.  I felt pretty and didn't have to worry about "sucking it in" The medium was short so I wore the large. The dress is form fitting so it wasn't much difference. I absolutely loved it and my husband approved!!

I just had a baby and was worried about my tummy being flabby. This dress his everything and was super flattering. I will definitely rent this again. 

I wore this dress to a wedding and it fit perfectly. I usually wear a small, but ended up going with the extra small in this dress. I am very petite, so the extra small was perfect. The length was perfect as well! Not too short and not too long. I received so many compliments all night long.  It was warm enough for a winter wedding, yet still very formal and SO flattering. Best RTR purchase so far!!

Fits true to size. Very comfortable, loved the sequin accent. I wore a small, length was perfect, paired it with 3" heels.  However when you are dancing the night away, the material causes the dress to shimmy up on you. Had to keep pulling it down so my rear end wouldn't be showing. :)

Loved this dress!! Wore it to Las Vegas for the Britney Spears show! I am 20 weeks pregnant and needed a "bump friendly" dress and it was perfect!!! I would rent this dees again pregnant or not!

Fit was great, slightly shorter than I am usually wear but didn't ride up as I walked.  The cut was perfect and not to low, sequins were just enough sparkle!

It fit great, true to size I'm very busty and it held the girls in great. Comfortable and flattering not too warm while dancing, I would rent this again.

OMG, I love this dress! It was a fantastic fit and was so comfortable. I love the long sleeves and paired with some black panty hose, I was able to wear it out on a mild January night without needing a big coat. I wore it out on a date with my husband to a Cirque show and it was perfect. 

Side note: I had told my husband about about renting a dress and he thought I was absolutely crazy. Then I put it on and he started to change his mind ;) After I told him how the whole RTR process works, he was sold. He was surprised it could be so easy! RTR is a dream to work with!

I have wider hips so ended up sizing up and wearing the Medium over the Small. Both would have worked though, just opted for slightly more room. Wore this with the BADGLEY MISCHKA Saar Raffia Minaudiere handbag.

I really liked this dress. Ended up wearing the xs since the small seemed a little baggier all around. I wore this to a fancy dinner in Chicago and for drinks after and it was just perfect. Nice to have the sleeves for Chicago in January as well. It fit great and was sexy but not too revealing all at the same time. The fabric and overall fit seemed very luxurious too. First time renter and I will definitely rent again!

Loved the material, which is a bit thicker so that it doesn't make you feel like you have to have a perfect body to wear. I got a ton of compliments on the dress all night long.  

I didn't end up wearing this dress - I had rented another dress for a night out, and my size ended up not being available - so RTR offered to send me another dress or two to find something that fit! They really are a dream to work with! I tried this one on…but didn't end up wearing it.
A couple things - it fit great - the material was thick and hugged the body nicely so it was very flattering. It was a a little short for my liking but it still looked nice. The neckline was deeply cut, but I anticipated this after reading others reviews. The only thing I hadn't planned on - I thought the sparkly was more silver tinted - it was definitely gold in person!
I would definitely rent this one to wear in the future!

Loved the long sleeves! The low cut front still kept it sexy. Medium runs true to size, and I had plenty of room in the chest for my super push up bra from VS. The skirt is a little short, so I had to be conscious of taking smaller strides when we were walking around so that it wouldn't ride up (although my husband certainly wasn't complaining about that).  Wore this out to a fancy dinner and Cirque show in Vegas and it was perfect. 

I wore this to a January wedding (there were FIVE of us there wearing RTR!), and it was perfect. 

Pros: I had a baby five months ago and I'm dealing with a bigger-than-normal chest and wider-than-normal hips, so I wanted something that could hide what I didn't like. This dress was great! I was worried about the twist knot because those usually don't flatter me, but this one hit in just the right place. The chest area was flattering but not over the top. The sleeves were the perfect length. The sequins were more of a copper tone, and they're the tiny sequins so there was a lot of glittering. I'm fairly short, so it hit me just a bit above the knee. I paired it with sheer black pantyhose and black pumps, which I thought worked well at a winter wedding. Super comfortable fabric. We danced all night!

Cons: The material can be a tad clingy, so I recommend wearing spanx or something underneath just to smooth everything out. 

This dress was a hit! Received sooo many compliments and felt gorgeous all night!! 

Love this dress! I wore this for my anniversary dinner and it fit like a glove! I didn't want to send it back! Tons of compliments on this dress. It's very comfortable, though it's a heavier fabric (perfect for the 26' night it was), it didn't feel heavy while wearing. The sequence up top was just enough without going overboard so I went with a nude shoe to keep it simple since the place we went could be crazy fancy or just business casual. 


Fit was super flattering and the fabric has nice layers (no spanx necessary).  Dress is incredibly comfortable.  I loved it and never wanted to take it off.  LOVE love LOVE.  I wore this to celebrate my husband's birthday.

Is the gold sequined piece a full dress under the black? I see it poking out the bottom and thought it was just a piece around the neck. Thanks!

Love this dress!!!  I would rent it again! I wore it for a NYE party and felt so comfortable in it!! Fabric is very stretchy. The style of the dress is very slimming and very well made. The v neck is also flattering and gives the dress a very sexy appeal.  The length of the dress worked well for me- not too short but not too long. It was perfect! 

This dress fit amazing, was long sleeved so I didn't feel overdressed and I wasn't freezing, and was a great length! Would consider renting again!

When I took the dress out of the box I thought it looked super small. But when I tried it on the medium, which I had planned on wearing, was too big. I'm so glad I got a small as a backup size because it fit perfectly! This dress was soooo comfortable! It has just the right amount of stretch. I am tall and it was not too short and the sleeve length was long enough for my arms. It was the perfect amount of sparkle for New Years Eve! 

I loved this dress from the second I put it on. It was even better in person than in the pictures. I rented this for NYE and it was perfect. Only the small was available so I ordered a backup dress just in case, but the small was roomy for a small in my opinion. Not that I'm complaining. I normally wear a 4 or 6 in dresses. The dress fit great and wasn't too tight anywhere. I got lots of compliments and 

This dress is soooo comfortable.  I love it.  Very figure flattering.  I have a very full bust!  Much more than the model in the picture.  This dress would look wonderful on anyone.  If you have a full bust you will get a LOT on attention! 

This dress was super comfortable and fit like a dream! I loved the long sleeves, esp. on a cold night like NYE. I am curvy and this did a great job of showing off the curves and covering up the jiggle! I rented a medium and large and the medium was perfect. You don't want this dress to run big - it needs to hug the body to look right and the medium did just that. You will not be disappointed! I rented earrings to accent the gold in the dress and wore black heels with subtle gold sparkle. I did wear control top panty hose - highly suggest that or Spanx. It helps since the dress hugs the body.

It was definitely shorter than I normally wear, but it was perfect for going to a club in Vegas with thigh-high boots.  I definitely felt sexy!  It was super stretchy and comfortable.  Since it was so short, I wore short black bike shorts under it to make sure I didn't accidentally expose anything.

I purchased this dress during the clearance sale. Will be a great dress for the holidays or NYE. Dress fit great and is comfortable. Even though it's form fitting, it's slightly forgiving to the tummy area. 

This dress was stretchy which I liked since it gave a good shape. Wore it to a NYE party, so the long sleeves were perfect for that time of year. 

Shorter than I expected (im around 5'6"), but really loved wearing this dress to a fun wedding.

This dress was super comfortable and stretchy.  The sleeves were great for the cold weather and I paired with tights and heels.  I can't say enough good things about this dress.

I bought this from the clearance sale. Worn for a birthday date night with my boyfriend. I usually stay away from body-con dresses (I think my hips are oddly shaped and doesn't look flattering). But when I saw this online I knew this was right up my alley. The material is stretchy (room to wear a bra as well) and the sequin neckline is so pretty. I can't wait to wear it again for another occasion!

So comfortable but still a little sexy. Just enough glitter for New Years if you usually aren't bold with your outfits. 

LOVED this dress and I received SO many compliments. 
I was nervous it was going to be too tight and ride up but that wasn't the case at all! The fabric was so comfortable, it didn't ride up and it wasn't tight at all. I actually probably could have sized down to a small but again I didn't want it to be too tight. The medium was a little loose in the top but fit perfectly in from my hips down. Even though it was long sleeves, I was not hot at all! It was breathable and easy to dance in! Would definitely rent this again! :) 

I wore this to a wedding on New Year's Eve and it couldn't have been more perfect! The dress is fitted but material is thick so it hides imperfections well. The gold sequins really added a lot to dress it up! I ended up wearing the small over XS because the length was better and felt more appropriate cleavage wise. 

Loved this dress! Form fitting, was at first undecided about wearing the medium or large, ultimately went with the medium since I tend to wear things that are more fitted (I'm 5'6", 155 lbs, hourglass shape). Loved the gold details around the chest and loved how the dress was fitted but the material was thick enough that it hid imperfections. Would definitely recommend if you need a LBD for a night out/birthday/bachelorette! 

this dress is great - it has a stretchy material and is comfortable to dance in, and the gold makes it a little more fun. 

Loved the material and how stretchy it was! It was fitted, but in a good way! 

This dress is extremely comfortable and very flattering with the rouching detail in front. The beading at the neckline adds nice sparkle for NYE especially. I typically wear a 2/4 and I'm 5'1"; the size Small was not available so I was a little nervous about relying on only the XS but it fit great! The dress length hit ~2 inches above my knee.

This dress was really comfy and a nice level of formality for a NYE party. The only downside is that I found the knot at the waist actually less flattering on my self, but such is life. Otherwise it was great!

The dress was very comfortable, fit me in all the right places. The material was high quality. I wear a size 8/10 so I went with the large. The medium was too tight in my hips/butt. 

This dress was super flattering on the chest and from a side profile. Didn't do much for my wide hips but it was comfortable and fun for a New Year's eve party! I recommend!

I absolutely loved this dress!! I would say it runs true to size, maybe a little large. The S fit me fine, the XS was just the tiniest bit more snug and form-fitting. This dress was incredibly comfortable to wear all night, and it got me lots of compliments!

Wore this to a winter wedding. I loved it! It was so comfortable and fit just right. I loved the long sleeves and the touch of sequins was just perfect. I received lots of compliments! 

This dress fit great, it did have a low plunging neck line so if your not comfortable with that you could probably wear a tank under, overall I loved it gave a little extra sparkle to what otherwise would be an average little black dress. 

The dress fit well, I was 20 weeks pregnant for the event so I wasn't sure how my body would be shaped. The sparkle made the dress nicer than just all black and it worked well for a winter event in the cold (I paired it with light black tights and heels). I felt like the dress ran small, but really I may just be adjusting to my pregnant body!

Interesting fact, you could put the criss cross part at your back and have a lot more sparkle in the front if you prefer an extra sparkly look!! I tried it on that way by an accident!

I wasn't crazy about the fit of this dress for my body type.  The Large was a bit too large on top and the medium was a bit too small around the waist.   I ended up going with the large but it gapped open at the top when I sat down and I was sitting most of the night.  I liked the warm stretchy material for a cold night at the Kennedy Center but wish the fit was better.  On a very positive note the gold V at the top of the dress was stunning! 

The fit was pretty standard. It was very comfortable and covered all your problem spots. I will say it was WAY lower cut than the picture looks. If you are ok with your cleavage showing, then this dress is for you. Since it was New Year's Eve I didn't mind, but I would not have felt comfortable wearing that to a wedding or family event. 

I got the medium and large in this dress. The medium was more fitted, which I liked, but I chose the large since this was for a military work event and didn't want it to be too form fitting. The material is super comfy and has a good bit of stretch to it. I liked that it gave me the right amount of cleavage w/out it being too much or constricting. I'm very large chested so this is usually an issue when it comes to finding a garment for events such as this. I highly recommend this dress! I received many compliments, I felt amazing in it, and it's extremely wearable for long periods of time. 

I ordered a medium and a small and was impressed that the small fit perfectly. The medium was too deep of neckline and too wide around my legs. The dress was perfect for New Years. The gathering around the front of the stomach area does wonders for any belly insecurities you may have. 

I loved this dress for our NYE party. The material and fit of the dress was by far the best out of all the dresses I've rented. The sleeve length was perfect (which can be hard when you're tall) and the sequins added the perfect amount of sparkle for the night. I plan on renting this again for an upcoming event!

wore for New Years Eve dinner.  stretchy and comfortable, but does ride up a bit.  I am 5'4" and 121 lbs and flat chested and wore XSmall.  I recommend this dress.  

I wanted to love this dress, especially because it's very comfortable, has sparkles, and I can wear a regular bra with it, but I feel like the ruching actually made my waist look larger than I am. (I didn't try the smaller size, but perhaps that would have helped?) That being said, it was an appropriate outfit for a low-key NYE out with friends.

I wore the large, mostly due to the length of the dress. It was a great dress and I got tons of compliments. I'm a busty girl, and it fit my curves perfectly. Would definitely rent it again if needed for a different occasion!!! 

I wore this for NYE at 21 weeks pregnant. It was very very short on me- yes it is bump friendly, but i needed opaque tights to not feel super exposed. 



This dress was my 1st rental and I rented it for a NYE party. It was very comfortable to wear, form fitting but you are still able to move and dance. The dress stayed in place all night so no need to worry about it riding up. The only negative would be that I have to send it back! I absolutely fell in love with this dress!! 

I rented this dress for a New Year's Eve party.  I received a lot of compliments and the dress was very comfortable. The material was stretchy and the knot on the front was very flattering. 

I rented this 9 months postpartum for NYE.  I was still self conscious about my mid section and this dress was perfect!  It has stretch and gave me enough room for my boobs!  The knot in the front is extremely flattering.  This will be a future go-to rental for me!

I rented this to wear to my roommate's work holiday party as her date. It was perfect for an office party that was also slightly formal because it was form-fitting enough to be sexy but it had appropriate cleavage and the long sleeves made it a little more professional. Plus it is super-stretchy without being super-tight and the ruching over the tummy was very forgiving. Will definitely rent again!

The fit is flattering overall, however it was a little larger than I thought. I'm about 5'6, 155, 34B athletic build and it had plenty of extra room for me to wiggle in. Even though it was larger than I expected it was still very form flattering. I normally don't wear dresses this low cut but it was perfect and wasn't overly provocative. I'm definitely going to try and rent this dress again! Loved it.

Rented this for a wedding and wore the small. The medium fit but was baggy in the top and looked boxy. My original dress was delayed due to weather so they overnighted me the same dress - thanks! Overall a great dress and super comfortable! 

The dress ran a bit big on me - I should've gotten an XS. If you've got smaller boobs and a small (narrow) waist, consider a size down. Other than that, the dress was fabulous. I got a lot of compliments - the thicker fabric was flattering and forgiving as the night went on (lots of food and drinks!) I'd highly recommend this dress! 

Wore this for my 34th birthday and it was so flattering. I have a mom belly and the rouching in the front totally covers and flatters. I'm 5,2 so it fell at the right height in the large. Front dips very low so i wore a bandeau for coverage. Material is so slinky and comfortable i felt great all night 

-- quite possibly the best compliment I got all night, and I got many on this sassy dress! The way the material gathers at the waist is very flattering. Due to my height, I wore the small, since the medium was a little too low-cut on me in the front. I wore this for a company holiday party, and it was a super fun dress! I was surprised at how short it was- I'm only 5'4" so it is rare for dresses to be short on me. If you are taller and wear a smaller size, this will be VERY short- just a warning. 
One important note: when I received this dress, both sizes were hung on the hangers incorrectly, with the gathered material at the BACK of the dress, instead of in the front. I tried them both on that way, and thought the dress was a dismal failure, until I remembered from the photo that the material gathered at the waist in the front. I had to pull the skirt up, and through to the back, so the gathered folds fell in the front (hope this makes sense,) and then I realized I could actually wear this in public! 

My mid-section isn't my favorite.  This dress was perfect at camouflaging my not-so-favorite parts and highlighting my favorite parts.  I wore this to a company Christmas party.  It was below freezing this night and the long sleeves were great.  I ended up wearing close-toed blinged out shoes versus what's shown in the picture too. I wore a large because the medium was much shorter and showed more leg than I like to show for a work function(but it even looked good).  I still got so many compliments from my coworker's who are used to seeing me in boxy work clothes though.  I would rent this again if I had another event.
