I wanted to love this dress but it was difficult to zip up and it kept rouching in the middle. Purple is my absolute favorite color but it was difficult to see the leather purple across the waist at night. This might be my 4th or 5th dress from RTR and it has been my least favorite of them all.

The quick shipping and second size made my first rental with RTR an awesome experience!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was perfect for the wedding I went to! It was a little big at the top (which isn't unusual for me in any dress) and a bit longer on me than the model (hit me just at my knee), but otherwise I loved it! The material was thick and comfy. I wore it with a pair of nude sandals and was able to dance the night away. I am 5'4", 115 lbs., and a 32A and ordered the 2 and the 4, ended up wearing the 2. Overall, I had an awesome experience with RTR and will definitely be using them again in the future! PS, sorry the pic doesn't show much.... I didn't get any full body pictures in it! Dummy....next time!

A classic black dress with a fun leather pop of color!
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
The dress was a bit larger, so I ended up wearing the 0 (normally I'm a 2). The hook at the top of the zipper was broken, but I wore it anyway because I loved the dress. The shape was flattering on my figure and I thought it was the perfect dress for the charity event I attended.

The dress was really cute and fit great. However, the zipper was hard to zip over the leather part of the dress and the dress was a little stiff. Not the greatest for dancing.

When I told everyone I had rented the dress and all the girls wanted to know from where and all their boyfriends/husbands looked relieved that they wouldn't be buying the designer dresses. I was told I looked stunning and wore black really well :)

I rented this dress for New Years Eve dinner and party at a bar/restaurant I like in town. I am curvy and it was snug around my hips but not uncomfortably so. The length was perfect and came to a few inches above my knee, I never felt like I had to tug at the dress to pull it down. The side without a strap cuts low and was a little loose. I wore the dress with a bra that has removable straps so I wore the strap on one shoulder. I'm sure I could have used fashion tape to secure the loose parts but it didn't feel necessary and I was worried it would show anything. I got a lot of compliments on this dress!

Runs Large, Not Form Fitting
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Other
First of all I was disappointed that both the sizes I rented were way too big. It's not as form fitting as I had expected either, so I'd definitely go a size down. Also the stripes look good on the model but when I tried the dress on they looked kind of awkward. I ended up returning it.

Good Dress, Wrong Occasion
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I got this dress as my back up dress, I think I should have listened to the reviews, there was not as much give to the dress and I was concerned that it would not be great for a night of dancing. It would have been great for a formal dinner.

I would definitely recommend using the filters offered on the site. It narrowed down the choices for my body type and the occasion. This is a great, comfortable sexy dress. Loved it!!

When I tried it on, it literally fit me like a glove. It definitely showed off my curves and made my legs look great. Pretty much the perfect size and length on me since I'm almost 5'11 but it was really amazing! I would definitely rent this dress again if I need it! :)

I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner. I'm coming to terms that I am smaller than I used to be, but I rented a 4 and a 6. Lately I've found it's been a close call between the 2 and the 4. But this 4 was HUGE. Wish I had rented the 2 for a back up size. I think it would have looked nice!

Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I rented this dress for my office holiday party and it was a hit! I got lots of compliments and the dress was very flattering. The dress was fitted through the waist but for me it was not uncomfortable. (I have a 26" waist and wore spanx underneath.) Because I'm only 5'-0" tall, the dress wasn't as short on me (which is what I was hoping for, didn't want anything too short since I wore it to an office event) as it is on the model in the photo. You can't see it in the photo, but the detailing on the dress is quite nice. There's a drape at the shoulder that adds a bit of flare. I would not recommend this dress for apple-shaped bodies or curvacious pear shapes because the waist is fitted and the side zipper isn't very long. I had to give the dress a gentle tug to get it past my hips (I stepped into it instead of pulling it over my shoulders).

So my sister actually wore this one with a little black leather jacket and peeptoes to an event- recommend pairing with silver bangles instead of a necklace for an edgier look. She's taller and more of a true hourglass. Ran perfectly true to size and looked chic and sexy (but not too short on her 5'9" leggy body). The leather is absolutely perfect. She would buy this dress if still available anywhere out there...I'm looking.

This dress fit great, and i really felt good in it! The only reason i gave it a four, was that the purple stripes were a whole lot darker than i expected, and the dress was just a little too long (it was a few inches longer on me, than the model)

This is a great simple and sophisticated dress which can be worn to almost any event. It's just sexy enough without being provocative. The purple leather insets give the dress some color and also accentuate your curves. Very nice dress!

I wore this dress last night to a wedding and received many compliments! I paired it with nude heels and light pink, multi-drop earrings. I wore my hair in a french braid that ended halfway with the rest of my hair in a pony tail. This was my first rental and it won't be my last! Thank you!

The dress and the backup size arrived in perfect condition. Unfortunately none of the two sizes fit. The smaller size (4) would have fit all around with the exception of the waist. If you don't have a very defined waist this is probably not the right dress. The bigger size (6) was primarily too long for my body. The top part could have used 3 inches off in order to fit my torso and I am fairly busty. I am giving this dress some stars because of its pristine condition and it did look gorgeous. It just is built for a very specific body type that wasn't mine.

I loved this dress but the chest area was a little loose but it didn't look bad. The rest of the dress fit perfectly. It was super comfortable. I rented a size 4 and I am about 125 pounds. It covered my gut which I loved! I got a lot of compliments from this dress.

I got compliments all night long in this dress! It truly feels like a higher quality dress. I thought it might be a little too sexy for a wedding, but it wasn't as short as I thought it would be. It was an inch or so longer on me than on the model in the photo. I'm 5'5" and 137 lbs. I wore the 6 with a good fit. I should have gotten the 4 as my back up size because that might have fit as well. There is slight stretch to the fabric. I thought this dress was well portioned for an hourglass. The right side came up high enough that there was no peep through of undergarments. The dress arrived on time, as expected. Very impressed with this website!

This dress is really fun! It runs true to size and is very comfortable (I am a 6-8 and ended up wearing the 6). It is very fitted around the hips and the curve of the stripes help accentuate an hourglass figure. It has some extra room on the top right, which you may want to consider if you are small busted. Otherwise, it is classic yet edgy - I paired it with black peep-toed pumps, a black cuff and earrings, and purple nails. My first RTR rental, but I will definitely be back.

This dress was awesome! It gave me a more hourglass figure. The only reason that I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it is a little tight in the hips and is made for someone a little more busty. However, I got so many compliments and felt very very sexy! Definitely recommended for everyone!

I usually wear between a size 10 and 12. I got both sizes for my rental and wore the 12. It was fitted and looked exactly like the picture shown. It was not the most comfortable dress I've worn, as there isn't much flexibility in the material but it wasn't as if it was terribly uncomfortable either. This was my first RTR rental and I will definitely rent again. I wore it with black hoop earrings, black bangle bracelets and no necklace. I wore black nylons and open toe heels, with my hair similar to the model's shown.
