Great party dress- sexy but not skanky.
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
i wore this dress for a vegas work conference that fell on my birthday. it was sparkly enough to celebrate my birthday in vegas, but classy enough to still be appropriate for a business-related party.
don't try this on alone if it is even a little tight-- the sleeve cut and sequin material make it impossible to take off without assistance. although the small fit great while on, i had to track down a stranger to help me get out of it-- EMBARRASSING!!!

LOVE! It's a pretty easy fit and fun when paired with a long necklace. I wore an XS and am usually a 2. Can be styled many different ways to dress it up or down.

Love the dress! Tons on compliments!
Size worn: L
Overall fit: True to Size

I wore this to a 1920s themed party. I typically wear a 6 but chose the large because I wanted it a little loose to go with the theme. A medium probably would have worked. I am only 5'3 and the length was fine on me but for someone tall it may be short. Love all of the sequins. I will probably be renting this again!!!

I loved the style of this dress - it was perfect for the Marine Ball I went to with my 83 yr old father. A little conservative but still a lot of fun. The smaller size fit best my only complaint was the slip that was attached was hard to keep in place. It was fun, eye catching and I felt like a million bucks. My father loved it too.

I usually wear a medium, size 6 or 8, but the large in this dress was a bit tight across the thighs and in the arms. I got a ton of compliments on it. The sequins are actually different shades of gold and looks great. The dress was comfortable and not too short.

Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress was awesome. So incredibly sparkly; it was definitely an attention grabber! Other reviews said that it was tight in the arms, but I really didn't experience that. The only negative is that my hair kept getting caught in the sequins, so maybe plan on wearing your hair up. Overall, great dress!

I recieved so many compliments! I think the best part about this sparkly dress other than the fact that it's so different and cute is that the bar tenders couldn't miss me! As soon as I stepped up to the crowded bar, mine was the next order taken! Fantastic!

The dress runs a little big, but not obnoxiously. There's a built-in slip underneath so there's no need to worry about itchy sequins. It's a modest dress, but still chic.

I wore this dress for my school's Sadie Hawkins dance. I regret wearing my hair in a stock bun, but I certainly do not regret this dress choice! It was a little less tight then I though it would be, but it worked out great! When I was dancing, the sequins sometimes got caught on other people, but other than that I have no complaints!

Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
To be fair, the dress was amazing. However, it was too small and the style of dress was not flattering for someone with my figure. Nevertheless, for all women under a size 8 with small breast, this dress would probably look great on you. However, if you are an average sized girl with big boobs, you may want to pick another dress or you may end up looking like a life size version of Sponge Bob like me :-/

It looked very slim through the waist on the model in the picture.

I rented this dress for a party and it was absolutely perfect. I am typically a 6 (a 4 on a good day), and the medium fit perfectly. I was comfortable all night dancing. The dress is heavy enough to feel luxurious, but not so much so that you can't move around and enjoy yourself. This is my favorite dress I have rented out of 3 rentals!!!! It's not something I would typically have in my closet, which made it a really fun dress for the evening!

Everyone turned their heads when I walked in!
Size worn: M
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I ordered the S & M in this dress because I never trust dresses with sleeves! I could barely get the S over my shoulders- but I wasn't surprised by that! Once I was in the M, I noticed that it was very tight across my shoulders and upper arms and I've never thought of myself as having broad shoulders. It is a gorgeous dress, but very very dressy. I went to a couple bars and restaurants with my mom for my 21st birthday in this dress, and EVERYONE.. I mean everyoneeee! looked at me when I walked in. Not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing! I remember describing it to my sister as "burlap sacky" though and I definitely should've broken it up with a belt around the waist to show off my curves. Looks much better on the model if you're my body type!

Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I am normally a 4/6 and ordered the small and medium in this dress. The dress is a pull-over-head type situational and doesn't have a zipper so I couldn't maneuver easily into or out of the small so I wore the medium. I belted it with a skinny silk sash that matched the cream edges to bring it in since it was flowy from having to wear the bigger size. It made it look that much cuter and I received many compliments!

This dress was great for a more lowkey birthday party at a bar, rather than a club. A couple people actually came up and complimented the dress and I felt sparkly for my birthday, but not like I was awkwardly dressed for Vegas. Mostly true to size, but the arms might be a little snug? But the size up was a bit baggy...so I'd try both if your arms aren't sticks. Overall, a great experience.

If you want to stand out and really be flashy without being at all trashy, this is it!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered a XS and Small based on other reviews from customers thinking it would be more of a shift dress than anything really fitted. Though, I could not get the XS over my hips, which typically is not a problem. The Small fit and was still very comfortable, though it was less than a shift dress because it was still fitted around the hips and bum area. The length was just to my fingertips at 35" from shoulder to hem. I would definitely rent again but would try the Medium.
p.s. This dress was sent to me overnight and delivered within 24 hours before 10 am day of wedding! Love RTR!

Show stopper, sparkly, classic!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
Very pretty! As mentioned, the sleeves are tight and I felt that the dress runs a bit small overall. I am normally a 4 in most dresses and the 6 was a better fit. I wore this for my sister's Bachelorette Weekend for wine tasting (she requested that we all wear sequins!). Overall, a classic, stand out dress! Sorry -- didn't capture a clear pic with all of the wine tasting going on! ;)
