Unique!

Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
Great LBD with a twist - loved the pattern on the long sleeve, and received lots of compliments all night long! Went to dinner and dancing with friends on a cool spring night, so it was comfortable. It decided to add a belt because it was a slightly baggy in the waist area even though the dress had shape there, but if I had styled it differently, I probably could have worn it without a belt also. The dress was short enough to be sexy, but not enough so that I would have felt uncomfortable. Would rent again!

Perfect dress!

I wore this dress for my sorority formal and I couldn't be happier with how it fit! I am only 5'1 and I get nervous that dresses will fall too long on me, but after reading tons of reviews for different dresses I chose this one and it was perfect and so flattering! The dress flowed perfectly and was just fitted enough in the waist and in the bust to show some shape. The length was perfect and the dress was so stylish with the one sleeve. I would definitely rent it again I loved loved loved it!

Loved this dress and wish I could keep it! I wore this for a formal dance at my school. I usually wear a size 6, so I ordered this and a size 4. The 4 fit but was pretty tight, so I went with the 6 and it fit perfectly. I'm 5'4", so it was not too short but not too long either.

Ordered this dress for my moms annual Christmas party. Fit comfortably but a little short on me. I have long legs so lots of things can look short easily. Since it was just walking around the house and socializing it wasn't an issue but if I'd been in heels it'd have been a little too short. The dress was comfortable and big hit otherwise!

Great fit and length for a petite frame

Overall fit: True to Size

Completed my look with the Kendra Scott green stone bib necklace (also rented from RTR) and nude pumps, and got lots of compliments for the entire ensemble. I like the fit because the dress' cut shows off your body's curves without being too snug and fitted. It allows you to move around easily, and the length was just perfect for my petite frame.

LOVED this hot dress!!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this as a back up, and wasn't sure about the sleeve or the material. But when i got it and tried it on my husband was like, you have to wear that one!! It is a bit short, which makes it really sexy, and what i loved was it wasn't skin tight, but still had a great shape to it, so gave you a waist, but wasn't uncomfortable at all. Loved. I have a larger chest, so sometimes dresses that drape dont work, but this had a great shape, and got tons of compliments all night!

Perfect LBD for my senior fashion show!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
I wore this to my college's fashion show that my senior collection was in. It was very different than my collection and the black color helped everything else stand out. Also, the black Lilly Pulitzer was a choice made I specifically on account of her death (that woman was wonderful). The fit was looser up top than expected, but I tend to have the problem since I carry my weight in my hips and thighs. It was comfortable from the waist down and did not show my stomach. I am rather short, and when sitting I had to be careful - just a warning! It didn't bother me though. I would probably go far enough to buy this dress.

It was a little larger than I was hoping - but with some fashion tape, it worked perfectly. It may have just been me ordering the wrong size at the time... but it ended up working out really well. I got so many compliments on this sassy dress and I definitely intend to order it again!

Size worn: 10

I was worried the dress would be small so I got two sizes, but I found this dress true to size. Just because of my shape, it was a little tight in the bust and loose in the waist (it didn't nip in the way it does on the model, but since I don't have her figure either, I won't complain!) but I was very pleased with it, and so was my husband!

A night with fabulous women in a fabulous dress.
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this dress to my sorority's centennial celebration. It was very flattering and fashionable while also being appropriate for an event with women from 18 to 80.
Pros: Comfortable, skims over the body, fits well without fashion tape (no wardrobe malfunctions here).
Cons: Because it is not as fitted as some dresses, it can look baggy from certain angles. I ordered a 2 and a 4. The 4 was too big and the 2 fit well enough. I do wish I had erred on the smaller side and ordered the 0 and 2.
Overall this is a great dress that received lots of compliments from all ages. I felt sophisticated and sexy all at once.

The fit was very comfortable and the 10 was a little loose. I should note that the dress is VERY short -- I thought it was just because the model wearing the dress on the site is so tall, but I am 5'5" and it was very short!
Great for our formal for a long night with lots of dancing! I got lots of compliments on the dress.

I wore this dress on New Year's Eve and it was fun and perfect! It is so light and fun to wear. The dress is a little on the short side, but still long enough to be comfortable.

Being able to wear a designer dress that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford to purchase.
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I had a size 2 and a size 4 sent. I am between those sizes, so depending on the item I just never know. It is always nice when the smaller size fits! I usually have trouble with the length of dresses too being too long (even petite sizes, this dress was perfect for me falling just above the knee. Soooo many compliments on the dress too! It was very comfortable with minimal adjusting even when dancing. I'm very happy with the whole RTR experience, recommended RTR and will definetely be a return customer!

Beautiful dress and extremely comfortable.
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wore this to an evening rehearsal dinner. The dress fit beautifully. It fits like a sheath, but somehow still has shape - showing off the curves of your body. The fabric has little to no stretch, but was still very comfortable. I'm on the petite side and the sleeves/shoulders fit perfectly. I'm fairly short as well so the length was not an issue for me, but I can see how it would be short in general on other people. Overall, this dress was stunning and I wish I owned it!

Very chic dress, although I went with the backup dress that I ordered.
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The hem wasn't pressed completely, so the top chiffon layer was crooked. It's also VERY short (I'm 5'3). I tried it on with heels and it was a way too short for the wedding that I was going to. I think it would be great for something more casual, like a night out with the girls or a date night.

Nice dress but not for me
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I rented this for NYE '13 and was so excited to get it but when I tried it on, it was nothing like the picture. The cut of the dress is definitely a shift dress (straight and loose through the middle) and not taken in at the middle like it looks on the model. I rented a 12 and it was way too loose in the bust and shoulder. I tried to make it work with a belt and fashion but to no avail. I have an hourglass shape and while I loved the look of the dress, it gave me no shape.

The dress fits great-true to size. Normally wear a 4 but also got a 6 just in case- fit was similar in both but for a cocktail event out on the town opted for the 6 for comfort and it was a little bit longer. Flattering dress and its very comfortable too. Got lots of compliments.
