“My first RTR experience has been great! I was able to order two beautiful dresses at very reasonable prices. The dresses arrived as requested 2 days before my event and ready to wear. One of the dresses ordered was brand new with the price tag still attached. I love the fact that it arrived in a discreet, but well packaged box. Returning the dresses was also seamless. The return envelopes were labeled and ready to go... it doesn't get any easier than that! As for Customer Service, they were excellent. I called them twice: once when I placed the order to make sure my credit card wasn't being charged for the retail value of the dresses and on both occasions, they were both helpful and polite. I'm SO happy that there's a RTR and plan to use them for every event I have going forward. I attend 12 black-tie affairs and at least 5 cocktail events a year. Purchasing 20+ gowns a year has proven to be not only costly, but stressful... as I couldn't wear them again once my picture was published in the society column. The other disadvantage for me is that I live in a condo so storing these gowns were proving to be a problem as they were taking up way too much space in my already small closet. Now, I don't have to worry about shopping, cleaning and storing ball gowns anymore. Even my husband was happy because I saved money and wasn't stressed in the process. Thanks RTR for offering such beautiful high-end garments at a great price and excellent customer service too!”

This was my first rental from RTR and I must say I picked the perfect dress for my body type. I'm pretty proportioned, but have a nice sized butt and thighs so if you're curvy this dress will accentuate and flatter those areas very nicely. Another great thing about this dress is the coverage. I'm not overweight, but I do have cellulite in the thigh and butt area, as well as a little pouch in the abdomen. The design of this dress drapes the fabric to gently fall across all of those areas without looking as though you're trying to hide something. My abs looked flat, my butt looked great and no ripples or dimples seeped through. And, the plus is that I didn't wear any foundation - just a regular bra and panty set (I'm sure I would've looked even better had I worn my Spanx). The only possible problem with this dress is the plunging neckline. It doesn't look too bad in the picture, but in reality it's tends to open when on the body so if you're busty or shy then you will definitely need fabric tape. I opted not to use tape and was comfortable with a more revealing cleavage (see pic). As for the length, I'm 5'4-1/2 so I ordered both the 6R and 6L and wore the 6L with 4" stilettos because I prefer to have my dress cover the tops of my shoes. I ranked this dress 4/5 stars because of the neckline only, and I'd definitely rent this dress again.
