This is my third time renting from RTR and has been my most favorite rental to date. The dress itself is impeccably constructed from a decently thick silk/satin fabric that has a diagonal weave throughout. I found the peplum to be extremely flattering, especially for someone like me who has a fairly nonexistent waist. Additionally, the peplum hit at a length that did not make me appear too short-waisted, which is a big pet peeve of mine on many dresses that feature peplum accents. Despite reviews stating that the bottom was too big, I didn't find it overly roomy or ill-fitted. If anything, it just gave the appearance that the dress was more structured and sheath-like in style. I will say that the bodice is very fitted, so it may pose some problems for women who are bustier (I'm between a 32 B and C, and actually wore the dress without a bra). I had originally ordered a 2 and 4 (I'm normally a 2 at BR and JCrew; 0 at Ann Taylor), but was told by the staff at RTR a day before my rental was to be shipped out that the 4 had been irreparably damaged; regardless, they were more than happy to send me any dress of my choice, should the 2 not work out. I'm glad it did, but was equally impressed with RTR's handling of the situation. Can't wait until my next rental!

This dress is really nice and made well. The fabric and quality is amazing and I loved the way it fit on top and down through the hips. I didn't end up wearing this because the length was too long on me, it went down below my knees and wasn't flattering in that aspect only (I also hadn't ironed it yet fyi). This dress is great for fall and winter because the fabric is a little thicker. This dress is super comfortable too. I'd say if you're 5'7 or taller the length will be better for you.

I loved the color...I do wish there was more give to the material...but it looked amazing!

Loved the look of this dress for a black-tie wedding in the heat of a New Jersey July.  The dress fit perfectly in my size (10).  The condition of the garment itself was very disappointing with faint stains on the front and areas of stress to the fabric at the back seam and back vent.  The dress was wearable however and I was determined not to let that disappointment ruin the day.  Stylist Janna was TERRIFIC and even managed to have more dresses shipped to arrive on Saturday (the day of the wedding).  Because of Janna, I will definitely give RTR another chance to see if my experience was atypical.

This is the second time I've rented a Cushnie et Ochs dress, and I couldn't be happier with them. This dress was structured but not stiff. The fabric was so rich and had a gorgeous shine. The length is conservative, but the dress is still sexy. I loved it and felt totally appropriately dressed for a classy outdoor wedding.
