Loved the dress through it was well worn.  I think the fabric hid the imperfections well, like snags and a stretched hemline.  Loved the blue color with a pop of gold.  The accessories really made this dress.  I wore the Lulu Frost Alisia Cuff and the Kate Spade Opening Night necklace.

This dress was great! It hits just below the knees and runs true to size. The fabric looks like it would be warm and thick from the photos, but it's actually very light. There is quite a bit of sparkle to it in the gold threading, but it's not too much. Plus, it has pockets!

Great simple dress, looks grey in some photos but it is more blue.  Pretty shiny/sparkly in person.  I would have probably worn a 4, but it couldn't ship (so last minute they sent me a back up option and complimentary earnings!).  The 2 fit, it was snug in the bust but worked perfect.  The length is great, just above the knees.  Nude shoes are probably not the best option.  I was matching Bridesmaids so I had to go with something similar to them. Would recommend - like the perfect dress to wear to weddings.

The dress fit a little snug in the ribs area, but it forced me to stand up straight! Pockets were a plus. I wore it to an event that I was working at. It was comfortable, allowed me to move freely. I also rented the suggested necklace, earrings and bangles. I wasn't as impressed with the way those looked. 

This dress is certainly light blue with gold details. Something I wouldn't normally have chosen at a store but figured why not rent it and see. I wore it with gold strappy sandals and a gold necklace for my office holiday party and received a ton of compliments . The picture doesn't do it justice. Loved the pockets also! A little tight up top so went with the larger size I ordered for some breathing room, although my husband said the smaller size looked fine too. 

At 5'6", this dress fell below my knee. In the photos this dress appeared silver, but it's not silver. It's a periwinkle blue with metallic gold threads. It is a thick, but light weight fabric. When I tried it on, I recevied compliments, but I couldn't feel cute in this dress. It doesn't drape and didn't feel like it flattered my shape. It is possible I could have used a smaller size, which would have helped. 

This was my first rental. I usually buy petites so I was skeptical about the fit but wanted to give it a try. I absolutely LOVED this dress! The color is amazing - icy blue with gold accents! Based on the reviews I went a size smaller than I usually wear and it was perfect. The seaming on the bodice makes it fitted and the pleating on the skirt makes it very comfortable and flattering! The length could have been a little shorter for me but it was fine. Received many compliments throughout the night! The necklace I rented with it was perfect also! Wish I had a better picture of the evening...

I thought this dress was very pretty and fit really well. I loved that it wasn't too short, being 5'7'' it can sometimes be difficult to find dresses the right length. Looking at the picture you would think that the fabric would be stiff and thick, it is not. 

The dress fits true to size and the length and cut was perfect.  The dress looks silver in the picture, but in person it's truly light blue with pale gold detailing.  I already bought silver jewelry, but it matched fine anyway.  Received many compliments!

When I first opened the box, I was very surprised - I was expecting a gauzy, pale blue dress, when in reality, the color is a much darker blue, and the gold is more pronounced. The material is also a heavier brocade (I think it could be worn year-round, not just in summer). However, I ended up loving it even more in person than in the photo! It fit perfectly (I went with the smaller size) and was extremely comfortable - one important note on fit is that it is quite long ( I'm 5'10, and it was nearly knee-length, which is unusual for me!) I wore the dress with the recommended Kate Spade necklace, which received as many compliments as the dress, along with nude heels and a gold purse. Overall the look was a hit! I definitely wish I could wear it again!  

This dress was subtly sparkly but not too over-the-top. It was perfect for my rehearsal dinner, held at a nice San Francisco restaurant. The color is hard to describe but in my opinion it is even prettier in person than the picture would lead you to believe. It fit very well and was comfortable to wear. By the end of the evening, the fabric felt a tiny bit scratchy on my arms, but I am sensitive to that sort of thing. I got a ton of compliments and felt fantastic in the dress. I should add that I originally chose another dress but when there was a mix-up with my order RTR allowed me to pick any dress at any price, and I ended up with this one -- fancier and more expensive than my original choice, but a blast to wear. 

I rented this dress as a back up for a daytime wedding and my mom actually needed a dress so she wore it! Looked great on her!!

I didn't end up wearing this dress because it looked like a sack on me :( However, I gave it three stars because even though it runs large it has very pretty material and convenient pockets and would look great on someone with longer legs!

It does run a bit small. I normally wear a size 6 but the waist was a tad too tight. I agree with others that the pleats can give the illusion of a tummy, but I took care of that (and the wrinkles from shipping) with a steamer. A lovely dress!

Sorry - most of this will be a review of the renting process because I ended up not wearing this dress during Christmas Day as I might have.  It was a bit too formal for our at home dinner and I was afraid of staining it!  But an absolutely gorgeous dress - the silvery/icy blue fabric is just the right weight and it feels and looks expensive.

This dress was sent as my backup dress after the Issa "Break His Heart" dress became unavailable.  I appreciated RTR's stylists who called and left me a vmail letting me know what had happened and asking me to choose another dress to be sent out.  Since I didn't have computer access at the time, I called up the office and spoke with a fabulous stylist who talked me through the available options.  She was knowledgeable and accommodating as we tried to find another red dress in a similar size and style still available.

Unfortunately we couldn't find one, but when I mentioned that Lela Rose had some beautiful holiday-appropriate dresses, she suggested this one and did a great job describing it.  (I remembered seeing it online but her description definitely helped!)  She also helpfully pointed out some renters found it ran small but RTR's view is it runs true to size, and when I mentioned the size zeros in Tibi and Shoshanna definitely were roomy she said I'd be fine with a 0 here.  And she was right!

As I said, I ended up not wearing it for an extended period of time - just enough to take a picture and say hi to my family before I changed and dug into Christmas dinner!
