I rented this dress for an entertainment industry event. I ended up wearing it all day at work, leading up to the event. The dress was very comfortable, and the elastic band inside the dress was genius! I didn't need to wear a bra either. Highly recommended! 

I've actually rented this dress a few months ago but didn't get any pictures! So I rented it again for a Swing dancing wedding where it fit in perfectly. It has an empire waist so it is very flattering and loose around the stomach/hips without being too bulky. This one has been worn quite a bit and I could see wear and tear, but other people aren't looking at it so closely, so it's not a dealbreaker. 
When I rented it this time I still requested the free second size (8) but a week before the event RTR emailed me to let me know the 8 was damaged beyond repair and they could only send the 6. Since I'd worn the 6 a few months ago I didn't anticipate a problem (AND they gave me a free second rental which I used for the rehearsal dinner. Thanks RTR!!) 

I rented this dress for my teenager daughter to wear to a semi-formal party.  She looked fantastic and danced all night with out feeling like she had to tug the dress up all night.  The built in strap made it fit perfectly.  Such a great experience renting and I cant wait until I have a chance to rent a dress for myself!

I loved this dress.  The hubby loved it too.  He wanted me to buy it.  I got the 4 and the 6 just in case.  I wore the 4.  It looks super cute on.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  I was worried I would need that sticky tape to hold the dress up or have to wear those stick on bra thingies, but I didn't.  It had an elastic strap inside the dress that kept it held in place.  All strapless dresses should have that.

The best part of this dress is the extra elastic strap in the back inside that acts like a bra strap, helping to keep the dress in place. You know no matter how perfect the fit you'll always tug a little at a strapless, but this extra gem really helped minimize this. The dress is a great fabric and the rouching in the waist really accentuated my figure. I don't normally pick girly things like this, but it's fun to experiment sometimes when you're just renting!

I wore this to my bridal shower. I got the 0 and the 2, but once I put on the 0 I never even tried the 2. It was a little bit snug on top but I liked that because I had no worries it was going to slide down at all. I was still able to move and breathe and eat just fine. The sash is very very long and it took me a couple of tries to find a pretty way to tie it, but once I did I loved the whole look! It was a perfect day dress for my tea-party bridal shower. I would rent it again for another daytime event.

This was my back up dress, I didn't wear it, but it fit well. It has a bustier sewn it, but I thought it looked too juvenile on me. The construction and fit was great. 

The color and fabric of this dress was just fantastic.  It was super comfortable and I was able to dress it up quite nicely to go to my fiance's company Christmas party.  I got tons of compliments.

The top of the dress has rubber edging to keep it in place.  I never had to worry about it slipping.  The rouching would flatter any bust size.

No cons that I can think of.  I would definitely rent it again.

I received so many compliments on it! It was a beautiful dress, fit perfectly and I loved it so much that it pained me to have to send it back. I would rent it again in a heart beat! 

Rented this dress for the Kentucky Oaks and LOVED it. It fit perfectly and was very flattering. I am 6'0 tall and the length was great...which can be challenging. 

I am petite (5'2", 110 lbs) and rented the 2 and the 4. The 2 was perfect. There's a genius little strap at the back inside this dress, sort of like a bra strap, that holds this strapless style in place. The dress also has a bit of a gel band around the front of the neckline to also keep it in place. It was flattering, comfortable, and I would recommend it to anyone! 

This dress was perfect for a party thrown in my honor. It was comfortable, flirty, and fun!

I rented this dress for a cocktail party and ended up not going... so I took it out on a date with my husband. It was adorable. 
I had ordered both an 8 and a 10 because I am a 36DD+. Well I could have worn the 8 but it was too small in the bust. I wore the 10 and the bust fit fine. There was a slight flare in the hips but there was also the same flare in the 8. So if you have a large chest, go a size bigger to be safe. If you have a small bust, you could even go a size down I bet. 

First, I have no idea why, but this dress read as navy blue and pink to me on the website, so I was a little surprised that it was actually black and pink. Either way, the style was perfect for a beach wedding. Unfortunately I wish it had fit a little better--the band around the chest was great, but I couldn't figure out how to adjust it. The 0 was a little too tight around the ribs and the 2 was a little too loose around the chest, so I went with the 2 and had a hard time dancing in it, worrying it was going to fall down. But the style made my waist look super tiny, so, tradeoffs :)

I did not end up wearing this dress, it was my backup. Overall I really liked it and would order it again but in a smaller size. The waist belt helped to tie it together and keep it tight but I felt like if that bow came undone the whole dress might fall down.

I wore this for two events on the same day. The first event was a 2pm ballet performance; the second event was a 6:30pm  wedding. I paired the dress with a casual jean jacket for the mid-day ballet performance and a black shrug for the evening wedding. For both events, I wore black, patent leather peep-toe shoes with a low heel  (2" because I would be in them about 10 hours).
 
ABOUT THE DRESS: The bodice was a bit tight on my 36D bust (but not unbearable), and at times it showed too much cleavage for my taste. I'm not a big fan of showing all my cleavage, so it may be just right for those who are more comfortable with displaying cleavage. The sash/belt was a lot longer than what I realized. It wrapped twice around my waist. This isn't a pro or a con; it was just a surprising observation. The dress was comfortable, cute, and very appropriate for both events. I would definitely rent it again.

Wore this for my cousin's wedding. It was flowy and fun. I did have to hitch up the top a few times (boob tape would not have helped) and I noticed that the dress had a place for straps in top... wonder what happened to them? Overall, cute dress and really worked for an outdoor wedding and barn reception. I wore the multi-strand pearls with it and they were a perfect complement! 

Really liked this dress. Fit very comfortably and didn't seem to want to fall down like most strapless dresses. The only thing I remember were marks on my body when I took it off. Not sure if they were from my bra or the boning on the dress. Either way, I'd rent it again!

Perfect summer dress, at a very low price! Love how adorable it is! Can dress it up or down! 

I was so excited for this super cute dress, but it didn't zip up all the way. Would try again if another size up was available.

Easy to wear, fit well on top (for a small chested gal!) and super fun.  I loved this dress!

Loved this dress! I wore it out to dinner for my birthday and just loved everything about it! It was flirty and fun and the bf gave me so many compliments. I just wish I had gotten the dress in a 6 since it was a little loose up top and I kept having to adjust it, but overall i would definitely wear it again.

Fit well. Flattering - not too tight or revealing. I'm 5'10" and it hit just above my knee. Very fun dress!

I hosted a Martini Party and instructed my guests to bring a favorite martini recipe and wear something to match it.  My recipe was a raspberry martini and this dress went perfectly with it.  It is very flattering and feminine. 

Great for small chest. It was a great fit, no tugging all day! 

The only con I have about this dress: why can't I keep it??

This piece is gorgeous and versatile; I received so many compliments at my audition and it was really comfortable to move around in. Make sure to use a lot of Static Guard between the lining and the top as it does get clingy in dry heat and one of the little loops for the belt was broken when I received it. Otherwise, a perfect RTR experience! 

This fit nicely and I liked it. It was a more springy material rather than a wintry material.

Wore this for a rehearsal dinner for wedding I was in. Fit pretty true to size. It was a little longer than I usually like, but still looked cute! The bust was a bit loose, and I am a 30D, so take that into consideration. There were a few snags in the fabric, but not that anyone else could tell besides me :) I would rent this dress again... (but don't have to because there are so many other fun options to try on RTR!!)

The belt around the waist was really long and I couldn't figure out what to do with it except wrap it around several times

The dress was great and I got a lot of compliments.  Would definitely rent again.  

This dress is extremely flattering for lots of body types! I wore it to a summer wedding. The day started with lots of rain, so I chose this dress of my RTR options to wear in case it rained again. The dress looked great day to night, and I got lots of compliments :) Highly recommend!

I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner. It was a little longer on me because I am short. Got lots of compliments on dress. 

I'm busty so I had to keep pulling the top up even though they have an elastic strap and boning in the top. Also part of the boning kept poking me where it had come through the lining. Other than that it was super cute and the fabric was flowy and pretty. It actually hit at a good length and I'm pretty short.

I loved this dress - I rented it as an option for my engagement photos.  It's the perfect length to be playful and ladylike at the same time.  I will definitely rent it again for another event!

This dress was fun for a night out in Vegas. I usually order a size 6 and an 8, but since I order this as my "second style" I got it in the 8, which is the size I choose most often, but it was a little big. I got through the night and had many complements, but it would have fit me better in a 6 or if I had a little more in the bust.

This dress is very cute although I did not end up wearing it.  I would have worn the size 4.  It runs true to size.

I would strongly recommend going up a size for your backup.  Especially if you have full breasts at all.  I loved the dress, but there is no way I could have worn the 6, which is the size I wear in almost every other brand.  Other than that, it was really flattering and I received compliments all night.  

Very cute. True to size. There was a small piece of wire poking out the top that was not noticeable, but it was a little bothersome. Otherwise, a very fun dress to wear and dance in. 

Did you have to wear a strapless bra, or did you feel you had pretty good support? 

I wore this dress for a cocktail attire party.  It fit well - I did not feel like it was falling down, even though it is strapless.  The flow of the skirt made it fun to move in.  However, I do have a large bust, and this dress certainly showed that off, something to note if you would like to be more conservative.  I ordered the size 8 and 10 since they say order a size up for a larger bust.  The 10 did fit my bust better, but it was too large everywhere else, so I stuck with the 8.

This dress was extremely comfortable and fits fairly true to size.  I am only 5'4" so the dress went a little past my knees, which I didn't mind.  I had no problem wtih this dress staying up, which is a typical problem with strapless dresses.  It's great for a night out on the town with the girls, a nice brunch or a fun date!
