So elegant
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
This was a beautiful dress, and I so wanted it to work out. It was either because my torso is short or my height, but I didn't quite fill out the bodice and had a couple of extra inches at the top near shoulders. I ended up wearing my back up for my birthday dinner, but I think this would have looked great as well.

Some one I know said I always look so fashion forward.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This was sent to me as a replacement dress and I was nervous it was going to be too short ( I am 5'2) but the length was fine and the dress was fun . Everyone was in black and even tho I was too the dress really stood out .It was also form fitting on torso held everything in nicely. I wore it with black tights and a long necklace.
Pros: comfort, material is nice , loved the torso material
Cons: was a little tight on my hips so didn't lay exactly straight but wasn't a problem

The top of the dress is a great stretchy material and the skirt is a nice thick fabric. There is a great texture and weight to the skirt fabric which made is perfect for a bridal shower in March. It did not feel too summery at all. I paired it with a black leather motorcycle jacket (not shown) to add a little edgy-ness to the dress. I ordered both a 2 and 6 ( 4 was not available) and ended up wearing the 2. I have an athletic build and clearly not petite, so in my opinion, the dress runs big. I was 5-10" with heels on and thought the skirt length was fine too. I could have easily worn the 6, but I liked the way the skirt fell with the smaller size.

I ordered the 0 and 2. I couldn't get the 0 over my butt, the 2 fit like a glove! I loved the material of the top, you really feel like its holding you in. I added a second picture so you can tell how short the dress was. It was a tad on the short side, I'm 5'2 and def don't have long legs, but I never felt like anything was too revealing. I would def rent this dress again! Tons of compliments

It was my birthday dress and everyone loved it!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Loved this dress. Will definitely rent it again. It's a really classy dress, and it's just the right level of dressiness: you can wear it out to dinner and not feel overdressed, but can also wear it to a formal cocktail party and not feel underdressed. Also was very comfortable, and the skirt part is heavy enough that the dress hangs nicely and never rides up.
Because the reviews I read said the dress ran small, I ordered a 6 (my usual size) and an 8. I ended up wearing the 6, which fit fine but had a little extra room. So next time I rent this I'll get a 6 and a 4, to see if the 4 gives me a snugger fit.
I wore it with the Ben-Amun chain reaction necklace that the model is pictured wearing, and the two pieces worked really well together. Very Old Hollywood.
Pardon the headless picture...I forgot to take any full body pictures of the dress at my birthday party, so I put it back on the next morning to snap a pic (and didn't want my hangover-face to distract from the lovely dress).
Thanks for another great renting experience RTR!

Perfect dress for dressing "up" or "down"
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress is so versatile and well made! Rented the dress to wear to my birthday party and loved it. The black part of the dress is a nice stretchy material that made me feel "sucked in" all night, and it accentuated my curves. I was surprised to see the white "skirt" part of the dress in person... I didn't realize how thick the material would be, and that it had a scalloped design that I hadn't noticed in the picture on the model. Just a warning, the skirt is poofy, you can get a better view of it from the side in my second picture. However I still loved the dress and it was the perfect length too. It looked cuter without tights, but it was really cold that night, so I ended up opting for warmth over style. I paired the dress with the Lilly Pulitzer Sweetheart Necklace from RTR as well.

Conservative Option.
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress for an outdoor wedding in February in San Diego. The fabric is heavier so it kept me warm on the slightly chilly day even though it was short and strapless. The dress was beautiful, although if you have a larger backside as I do, it does hit a bit weird in the back, pretty much mid-backside. But even with the slightly odd fit I got a ton of compliments and it was great to dance in, although watch it if you drop it low because the bottom of the dress is likely to expose a little bit too much with a lot of movement up and down.
Would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Sadly just didn't work on me
Size worn: NONE
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Other
I unfortunately didn't end up wearing this dress. It is super cute and I think it would definitely be flattering on many body types- just not mine. I'm 5'7", 125# with a long torso and very narrow hips. The length of the black part of the dress just didn't seem long enough on me and my hips aren't enough to keep it pulled down. This caused the skirt to flare out more and begin above my hips. Even the stretchy black material near the white skirt was pulling away from my body. I think this would look best on those with shorter torsos or are generally more petite. As long as the skirt hits in the right place on you (I pulled the dress down for effect when I tried it on) it won't pouf too much and is very elegant and pretty.

Fun and classy dress!
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this dress to my own birthday dinner. I thought it was a very fun dress. In fact, I said it was my modern 80's dress. The skirt is very flouncy, and the white material is definitely a heavy brocade. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I thought it was different in a good way. The bodice fits well and is very flattering, but do be aware that the skirt is very fitted where the black and white fabrics meet. I thought it would have more give there than it did, so just be aware that it will fit tightly.
Overall, I enjoyed it, and I felt good on my birthday!

Classy dress
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I did not end up wearing this dress because I liked the 2nd style dress I rented better. However this dress looked nice. I did not feel it was too poofy. It looked very classy. The torso did have some extra fabric for my body (I have a short torso) but it would have been wearable. The fabric of the white portion makes this dress significantly dressier, and jewelry would really help dress it up.

Picture is slightly misleading, but still a cute dress
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
As another reviewer said, the skirt portion of the dress was a bit of a surprise to me when I ordered it. It's thick and textured (like a scallop pattern). This doesn't come through on the picture on the website, and the thickness/texture of it make it appear more poofy than the picture would suggest. However, the dress itself was still cute. I normally wear a size 4 and it was a little too big/long on top (you need the top of the skirt to hit you just right). Didn't end up wearing the dress as I didn't really like how the bottom part looked. Again, still a cute dress, I was just expecting something different.

Great dress to wear to a friend's birthday party
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I was surprised to read a review that the bottom was too poofy. It did poof a little, but not an extreme amount. I thought it looked great and was actually very slimming. It was a very comfortable dress, and I got a ton of compliments on it. I'd recommend this. I always find that Erin by Erin Fetherston dresses fit really well and are very comfortable.

The white skirt was too puffy - looked like a tutu!
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I didn't end up wearing this dress because the white part was very poofy and tutu-ish and made me look way wider below the waist.
