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 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 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.

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. 

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! 

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.

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!

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.
