This dress was fabulous!! It was very classy with a bow around the neck. It was a great thick material, very forgiving, and very figure flattering. I definitely would recommend, and use again! 

The first time my order was cancelled because someone didn't return it in time. I tried again and I'm so glad I did. My only advice is to make sure you hook it too. I forgot and during the night it came unzipped. Lol. Thankfully I was able to make it to the bathroom without anyone seeing me. The dress is true to size. If you're short it may not be a good length for you. I'm 5'7 and it hit perfectly. 

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding. Absolutely loved the fit! Snug through the bust so I ditched the bra ( I never do this) and the waistline is forgiving. And it has pockets!! Loved wearing this dress all night!

The fit was awesome - so comfortable!  The material is amazing as well!  So many compliments!

Loved the dress, especially loved the big pockets. Fit like a glove.
Process was extremely easy... The hardest part was picking the dress! So many choices!

Wore this to work for an event, and I received many compliments! I liked the bow, that the dress accentuated my waist, the material was thick, and the length was professional for work.

Loved this dress so much. I would purchase if I could. Comfortable. Had pockets. Perfect a-line.  

Roomy pockets well hidden in the wide skirt of the dress. I was able to comfortably carry my phone keys and even a granola bar! Only issue was that I'm a little tall and the fitted waist hit my ribs. There was no stretch. 

I loved this dress!!!  It looks and feels just amazing but alas I could not zip it up around my chest. The stylists are correct in that this is best for smaller cup sizes. 

The dress fit well and it wasn't too tight in the busy area. It is a little on the long side. I'm short (5'3") and it came down to my knees with 85mm heels. I liked the bow detail at the neck and it has pockets which are always handy. The flare of the dress covers up problem tummy areas. 

Perfect LBD. Fit like a glove.  So appropriate for a corporate party.  The pockets held my iPhone, lipstick and hotel keys.  All the ladies LOVED THE DRESS. It was so great and I would rent again.

This dress fit so well!  The fabric is heavier and quality but not too stiff. The skirt is full but not like a bubble. It has pockets! It was a little shorter than I would have liked, but I loved wearing it. It’s classic and elegant and fun!

This dress... perfect in every way...and it has pockets! I am 5'2, 110 pounds and the dress fit like it was made for me. The dress is made from a heavy satin fabric, it has a very rich feeling and look to it and holds its shape beautifully. If you are looking for a classic, simple, elegant look- this is your dress. 

I was about 10 weeks pregnant and this dress was able to conceal the bloated ness of first trimester pregnancy 

I wore this dress to a work party. It was perfect and sophisticated. The fabric is thick and high quality. This is one you wish you owned. 

Loved wearing for a winter wedding. Got lots of compliments. I wanted something conservative but stylish. This was the perfect blend of both. Great, sturdy material. I usually get a size 6 but that was unavailable to I went with a 4. I actually liked the smaller size. The fit was tight around my upper body so it flared it beautifully. 

As always, RTR made this an easy process. Was told about this wedding only a few days prior. Ordered it 3 days before the event and received it the day before. Perfect timing.

My original rental arrived with some damage, so this was a replacement option. I'm 8 weeks post partum with more boobs, belly, hips and thighs than I know what to do with, so even trying to narrow down a selection was tough. This dress wasn't super thrilling, but it got the job done and kept me from too many tears. It was a little short-waisted on me, and from the wrong angle I still looked pregnant. But the dress was solid and dependable. Rent if you just need something reliable and risk-free. 

This dress was perfect for a cocktail party/work event. I liked the simple, classic lines and the bow gave it a little something extra. The fabric is a bit unforgiving and the hem was pressed incorrectly, making the lining stick out of the bottom (I fixed with fashion tape). It's not a showstopper, but a perfectly appropriate dress for many, many occasions. Would definitely purchase.

This was my first rentak.  I loved the fit and the fabric of this classic look.  Very comfortable, there are pockets which I did not use.  I went down a size as the skirt was very full and yop loose on the 14.  I received numerous compliments too.  

So comfortable! And flattering received so many compliments 

I have a smaller frame up top and larger hips (hourglass) and it fit like a glove!!! I contemplated buying it I loved it SO much. 

I wore a size 4, although the 6 would have been perfect, but wasn't available. The pockets were a huge plus! Fabulous dress would highly recommend!

This dress was incredible. The fit was very flattering and looked amazing. I received so many compliments on the dress. It definitely ran true to size. The fabric is thick but didn’t seem to make me hot. Also the pockets were a huge bonus. I wear a 16 and the 16 fit beautifully. I have big shoulders and chest and the cut was flattering. 

Such a flattering waist, nothing bad to say bout this dress. Will definitely rent again.

Loved this dress. It fit perfectly. It's a hard dress to photograph. And I wore my hair in a pony and the hook at the top of the zipper kept getting caught. Overall it was perfect. I'm 5'8, 178, 36D. 

Getting my Audrey Hepburn on....thick material so holds its shape, very flattering and you can eat and move easily.

The dress is just so classy ... it's the perfect LBD.  It's made from a good, heavy weight material that didn't wrinkle, show bra straps or bulges. Like others have mentioned, there's no give in the bust.  The dress really is a blank slate so you can glam it up or pop it with fun shoes.

Very flattering because the waist hits high, best part is the pockets, love the bow. I never received the size 16 (mess up with my order) which probably would make been more comfortable but the 14 did look great 

Wore this for a cocktail attire Chicago wedding.  Loved the pockets which allowed me to not carry a purse.  It was classy and elegant and just perfect.  Love the gold zipper down the back and the thick fabric.  I also got the Kate Spade diamond bow earrings which were the perfect compliment to the dress.  I had so many compliments all night on my outfit.  Thank you RTR!!!!

Both the 14 and 16 fit fine, but the 16 allowed for more comfort sitting down.  The skirt is a little poofy, but it's still a glamorous dress.  Loved the bow detail and the pockets!!

The dress was very sweet and elegant. I could have used the 16 for room in the bust area but it was fine for the evening.  My husband liked it and we had a great evening and many compliments.

This is a lovely dress. It has no give, so make sure to order your true size. I'm 5'8" and it came to almost my knee. I was complimented left and right on this dress. I would wear it again!!!

I wore this dress to my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful dress with great little details in the bow and the zipper. The pockets were a nice plus. I was so comfortable in it because I didn't have to wear any shapewear and could wear my normal bra! I got a lot of compliments and felt like a million bucks!

I wore this for an outdoor wedding in Florida, and it was great!! I didn't get super hot in it (that's always a concern here when you do anything outside) and it looked great all day. I got a ton of compliments and it was super easy to dress up or make more casual. The fit was great, since I do have a bigger chest I wasn't able to wear a bra with it, but it fit tight enough in the top I didn't need one

This was my first RTR experience.  I got the dress a day before my cousin's wedding.  It was gorgeous!!!  It was tight in the bust area, but I just made it with a 16!  In retrospect, I wish I had ordered a size up.  I'm 5'5" with an athletic build, but I've gained some weight and carry it mostly in my upper torso, so a size up would have felt a little better.  Despite this, the dress looked wonderful and I got many compliments!!!  Love the classic look of the dress!!!!  Perfect for a fancy event!!!!  Overall, it was a good experience.  RTR is now my go-to for weddings!!!

I rented this dress for my engagement photos when I could not find it to buy it. After wearing it, I want it even more. So many compliments. Its classic.

Went to dinner with the in-laws and this was perfect.  Conservative restaurant and occasion requires a polished dress.  This was attractive and sophisticated.  

I rented this dress for a public safety awards banquet. I LOVED it! When I rented, they did not have a 16 available and I panicked that the 14 wouldn't fit. Called customer service and they told me a 16 had just become available, so I was able to get both. 14 ended up fitting perfectly. I have very small boobs, but wide ribs and shoulders, so I can see why ladies with larger breasts say to size up. Chest and rib area are tight.  The A line worked great for my large behind, felt it really balanced my shape out. The bow was a perfect accent to a simple, elegant dress. I didn't want to send it back!
