Loved this dress! It was comfortable too, which was the best part. I wasn’t worried or fidgeting with my dress all night. I felt comfortable and confident.

So elegant

Loved this dress. Perfect for a dressy occasion. I got so many compliments on it. It’s really comfortable. I’m normally a 4 or 6 but probably could have even worn a 2 in this.

Work Holiday Party Hit

Perfect understated holiday dress. Wore all day at work and it transitioned to 3 different holiday parties that night. The lace material and the lining are stretchy, not stiff. The length is great—hit at the knee for a 5’10” person. Sleeves were more of a 3/4 which I really prefer. Back zip was sticky but that’s my only complaint. Inexpensive party rental!!

The 10 was a perfect fit. The length was good and the long sleeves for a February event were great.

The event location was beautiful. There was so much thought put into every single detail.

Loved this dress. Perfect for a winter or fall wedding. I got so many compliments and it hugged my curves in all the right places.

Comfortable and Gorgeous!

This dress looks so great and is incredibly comfortable. Don't let the sunny photo fool you, the dress is very dark green. I'm pretty short, so the dress went past my knees, but I still loved it and would rent again!

Great dress

Really simple but pretty dress. The color is my favorite! And I appreciated the sleeves. I ordered a size 2 and 4 and the size 2 fit me better. I would definitely wear again! I’m 5’10” and the dress length was about 2 inches above my knees.

Elegant, classy yet very comfortable

This is the 2nd event I have worn this to. One time pre baby and this time after having a baby 3 mo the ago. I wore a different size each time but both times I felt like I was dressed appropriately and could wear the dress all night and be comfortable. I also love the dark emerald green which is so nice as an elegant option to wear other than black.

Perfect dress for a holiday party

I wore this to a work holiday party. I went with the 16 so it was a little looser and more forgiving on my silhouette, but I probably could’ve gone with the 14 for a more form-fitted look. It was really comfortable to wear the whole night and I got lots of compliments. I would definitely rent again!

Great fit and beautiful color

Wore this dress to an awards gala for work. It fit beautifully, and I loved the slightly puffed shoulder detail. It hit just below the knees on me and was a nice switch from a standard black dress.

Love it!

Wore it for our church’s Christmas musical. Hit below the knee which is good since I was up on stage. Fully lined and very comfortable! I may have been able to wear the 10 in this but it wasn’t available. I didn’t feel like the 12 was too large though.

Stretchy material and soooo comfortable!

Both sizes fit me well. One was slightly longer and looser, but I could’ve worn either one. Because of the stretchy material, I went with the smaller one. If you don’t want such a fitted look, you could wear your larger size choice.

So pretty and classy!

I got this for my stepdaughter, for an awards ceremony. It fit well and she looked great in it. Side note, it was also nice to have RTR for a specific request for a green dress in a particular hue. Ran true to size and worked perfectly for the event.

Super comfortable, effortless elegance.

I thought I would need a 4 and got a 2 as the backup. The 4 would have worked but not as form fitting as what I really wanted. The 2 fit like a glove and there was some stretch to it. Had it on for 10 hours and at no point did I feel uncomfortable. Tons of compliments. This didnt jump out as spectacular on the website but in person it was really great. I did not want to return because I think it is one formal dress I actually would wear again.

Comfortable, warm, flattering

Wore this dress for a gala event in March in Denver, so it was cold and snowy. The dress was flattering, comfortable, and I received many compliments. Would totally rent again for a winter event. I got size 0 and 2. Both fit, but the 2 felt more comfortable for an evening of dinner and dancing.

Beautiful emerald green lace!

This was my first RTR and I'm fully satisfied with my rental! I got this dress in both sz 14 and 16 (my normal sizes depending on the cut of the dress) and ended up wearing the 14, which fit great with the right undergarments underneath. The dress has a little stretch to it so it was very comfy as well as flattering. It's a beautiful dark emerald green color, and the sleeves were perfect for the unheated church that the wedding was in! Highly recommend this dress!

I'm 5'9" with a slim figure. This dress was snug fitting and very flattering. I received compliments all night. I ordered the size 4 and 6 and went with the 4. The sleeves were a bit short. Would rent again.

Comfortable with generous stretchy material

RL dresses are some of my favorites. This one is comfortable with generous stretch. I went with the 16 for a less fitted feel.

Outdoor November Wedding

I rented this dress for a November backyard wedding in PA. The dress ran large on me so I ended up wearing the size 0. Even in the 0 there was extra room in the top. The material was perfect for the chilly day and I was able to make it through the ceremony and cocktail hour without needing a jacket! Received lots of compliments! The sleeves gave it that little something extra. All in all, I was very happy with this rent!

Flattering and comfortable

I wore this for a semi-formal military dinner. I usually wear a 8, but they only had a 10 in stock so I went for it. It was a little big, but not noticeable. It was so comfortable! Very flattering and beautiful. I would definitely rent this again!

This dress was absolutely perfect! It was super comfy, and fit just right. I was able to dance comfortably, and eat a lot of extra appetizers! It was nice to have material that wasn’t super form fitting, allowing extra room. I absolutely loved this dress!!

Beautiful and comfortable dress!

This dress was very comfortable, the lace and the lining both had good stretch, the sleeve shoulder puff detail was cute, the color was a pretty rich evergreen color, and the fit was forgiving. I got the 16 and the 18 and both fit but I am subconscious about my postpartum tummy right now so I went larger for more room. I received several compliments from other wedding guests. I would definitely rent again!

This dress is the best! Need to buy it ASAP

Got this dress for my boyfriend's installation banquet after my previous dress rental from RTR didn't fit. I'm normally a size 16/18, but I could fit into a size 14. It was so comfortable and the lace has stretch so it was easy to move and sit in. I did wear Spanx, but just to smooth everything out. EVERYONE LOVED THIS DRESS, from my boyfriend to his colleagues to my mother, who insisted I buy it after seeing it on me. Hopefully I can, because I was sad to send it back.

Would be a great maternity dress

I’m usually on the cusp of a 4 and a 6, I rented a 4 in this dress and it is huge, but only in the mid-section. I think I would need to size down to a 0, but that it likely wouldn’t fit correctly in other areas if I did. I think it would make a darling maternity dress. It is not however for those with a straighter or hourglass figure. I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 because the quality of the dress is pretty good, and I would have loved the heavier yet stretchy lining for the more tailored look that usually gives a dress.
