Wore this on a date night to a Chinese Lantern festival at a Botanical Garden. It was extremely comfortable and just sparkly enough to catch every eye. I was flattered when a nine year old little girl complimented the dress. She was in love with my dress. I felt like a princess.

I loved the way this dress looked in pictures! Especially the top and how the silver sequins contrasted with the black. I ordered a 6 and 8 and wore the bigger size just because i loved how it looked really loose on me. It was definitely longer on me than I expected and came down below my knees, which i did not expect since I am 5'7 and not short,  but it ended up looking nice. Overall it was so comfortable and easy to wear I would definitely rent it again! 

I wore this dress to a friend's 40th birthday in LA. I had tried it on at the Flatiron store so I knew it would fit me. It looks pretty straight up & down in the photos, but it actually fit nicely and didn't feel boxy on me. Would definitely rent it again!

FIt was great - but I think it runs a little big since I wore a size 0 and usually am a size 4.  Very comfortable and sparkly!

I enjoyed this dress!  It has an easy, comfortable, forgiving fit (I even ditched the spanx) that made it lovely to wear.  You can wear a normal bra, which is always a treat.  I was worried it would be too short for a "woman my age" but it was a totally appropriate length, not nearly as short as on the model.  I always worry that beaded and sequined dresses get beat up after a few rentals, but this was in perfect condition and I felt great in it.

The 6 fit perfectly and works with a standard bra. It's not as short as on the model, and the sequins are fun - a little uncomfortable under a seat belt though. I put on a sweater so the belt wouldn't rub against the dress. Hugs your curves but has some give.

The dress fit very comfortably, no zipper so it's pretty shapeless. But it sparkles and I received a lot of compliments. Great for an event where you need to sit for an extended period. 

The dress was great! It's swingy on the bottom but not as much as it looks in the pic above. It was super comfortable, and because it's sequin, had the added benefit of not wrinkling after sitting for awhile. It looks great under party lights! I'd wear a bra that pushes you up a little bit--I made the mistake of not doing that and it wasn't super flattering in the chest area--with the right bra, though, it would be perfect.

Pros:
1.) The dress length and neckline were very conservative. 
This was important to me because I was going to a wedding, which is a family event. I felt classy, beautiful and comfortable wearing this dress.  
2.) The color and form of the dress online was accurate to the color and form of the dress in real life. 
When I first saw the dress online, I was skeptical of how it actually looked because I considered factors like how different types of lighting would reflect off the dress sequins, how the dress would hang on my body versus the model's body and much more. I did not experience any surprises from the dress I received.
3.) The dress was reasonably priced. 
I had a hard time finding a dress I wanted to wear to a 20's themed wedding that was both modern but still looked like a flapper dress. This dress hit the perfect note between both.

Cons:
1. My shoulders and back are wider and more muscular than most women because I lift. I had a hard time getting my arms and shoulders through the size 0, but the size 2 was too large for me. I  ended up choosing to wear the size 0, but was afraid that I'd rip a part of the dress putting it on. I do have to say that I typically have this problem with tops though, so this is just a personal con that won't apply to non-lifters. 
2. The dress was heavier than I expected. Probably because of all the sequins. 
3. Some of the sequins stuck together when I was putting the dress on. Nothing tore, but I did have to straighten out the dress to make sure there were no clumps or hitches in the dress. 

Overall, the dress was comfortable and fit fine, but I'm giving the dress 3 stars because I didn't get the wow factor that I wanted from wearing the dress. 

I rented this dress for a 1920s party and loved it! It is so comfortable and subtle. You can dress it up with the different accessories. I'm so happy with my purchase! 

This was my first rental.  The process was so smooth.  I wore the size 2 because I felt more comfortable with the length.  The dress was a complete hit.  It's comfortable, flashy, and so hot.  I have rented since this and will post more reviews.  If you are interested in this dress, you won't be disappointed.  I was also pleased I could be comfortable wearing a standard bra with this dress.

I rented this dress for a model at a show we were presenting at. The dress was a perfect knockout for the style metallic glam. Our model looked perfect. Great look for anyone who wants a fun flashy number for a night out. Great for many shapes and easy to glam up. 

This dress loose fitting and comfortable- like wearing a sparkly casual t-shirt. I love the little transparent silk that peaks out at the bottom. I ordered a 2 with a back up 0 and the zero was perfect. The 2 hung on me - a little frumpy in the larger size. I got a lot of compliments and felt really great in it.

Wore this for a fun date night. I went with the 4 because there weren't any 6s left, but luckily it was fine - I have small breasts and the fit is sort of a lightly stretchy sheath, not very form fitting. The sparkles are fun without being garish. I'll probably rent this exact same dress again!

I ordered a 4 and a 2... The 4 was tiny, but the 2 was bigger and fit perfectly. Whaaaat? I am so glad I tried the 2...I didn't think it would fit because the 4 was so so tiny. Must have been some kind of weird mistake. However, this is one of my favorite rentals of all time. Dress was so fun to wear. 

I usually wear a size 4, sometimes a 6, but after reading some of the other reviews, I ordered the size 2 as my backup and I'm so glad I did as this dress runs a little big.  The size 4 looked great, but the 2 worked better on my me.  I'm pretty curvy and I just loved the way the dress flattered my body.  I felt sexy and comfortable.  The length was perfect and I danced all night without worrying about the dress hiking up too far. The neckline is high so if you're looking for a dress that shows cleavage, this one won't work.  There's plenty of room in the middle if that is your problem area and the sequins hide a multitude of sins!  This was my first time using RTR and I recommend it to anyone!  The dresses were both in perfect condition and I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat!!

I selected the 4 and it fit perfectly! The dress was in perfect condition and fit just the way I wanted, skimming my figure. I have a bigger ribcage, so I was concerned it may be tight in the bust, which is often a problem for me, but this dress fit beautifully and I received compliments all night. As far as the length of the dress, I'm 5'8" and it sat a couple of inches above my knees. It would definitely be longer on someone shorter.

I had a bachelorette party for a good friend only 4 weeks after I was due to deliver a baby. She ended up being a week late so I am so glad I opted for this dress that had plenty of room in it, yet was still flattering and fit the "sparkle" theme. I also needed something with wide straps to cover bra straps as no way can you go without or with a strapless bra when you are nursing and only 3 weeks post partum. This was perfect! 

true to size for a non-fitted style. was happily not too long for this 5'3" girl.

i got a 4 and a 6, the lining in the size four was messed up, so i wound up wearing the 6.  it fit pretty true to size.

Destination wedding and I did not have to worry about the dress being wrinkled upon arrival.  It was comfortable and stylish. Plenty of compliments  

This dress was sent as a back up due to a return issue with the dress I was supposed to get. It ended up being my pick of all the dresses I had left for our second event of the weekend. It was fun and comfy without being over the top! It was perfect for Britney Spears in Vegas!

Wear minimal jewelry and bring a coat b/c it is light and if you are outside it will be chilly. Very easy dress to wear. 

Comfy, a little loose, fit my large bust well and allowed me to dance the night away.  No Issues. 

This was an extremely comfortable dress.  I wore it to an evening wedding, where we actually had to walk down a dirt road to get to the ceremony (outside, that's the pic), and then walk back down the same dirt/gravel road to get back to the reception location.  It was true to size and if you are in between sizes you might want to go down a size.  I am bigger up top, so I went for the 12 even though I got both the 10 and 12.  I think the only thing I had an issue with was long periods of sitting were slightly uncomfortable due to the sequins, and when i first put it on, the some of the sequins were sticking together, so I just had to look the whole dress over before putting it on to pull them apart--otherwise it just looked weird, like the material was pulling together.  I received a ton of compliments, and a few other people commented on a photo asking where they could get the same dress! 

Hit me at the knee but I was expecting that (I'm 5'5"). No real stretch but very comfortable.

I loved this dress. It was so easy to slip on, no special bra needed, super comfortable and just the right amount of bling for a benefit gala event. I did not get the size 2 that I ordered as my main size, but luckily the size 0 was perfect!!

I rented this dress for a roaring 20s company holiday party! It was fun and sparkly and I got lots of compliments! The sequins were not uncomfortable under my arms and the dress was light enough for easy movement and dancing. 

I rented this dress for a diamond anniversary company Christmas party. I rented both a size 6 & 8. I wore the 8 because the 6 seemed to accentuate every curve, roll, nook & cranny.  The top was too snug on the 6. I am a 34D bust. The dress is very forgiving if you have a bit of a belly like me.  I couldn't have worn a bra with the 6 but wore a regular racer back with the 8. I wore spanx but the 8 didn't really require them I just wanted a more "tucked in" look. I didn't find the sequins under the arms uncomfortable at all like some of the other reviews mentioned. 
Cons: the dress kind of just fell from my shoulders, not much flatter, but still a pretty dress. The sequins were not as shiny/flashy as I thought they would be. 

I liked this dress. The four fit, but my butt (got a bubble) was bursting in it. The six helped, but I honestly think if you have hips or a ample behind you MAY want to size up for a more "shift-like" fit. 

The sequins made me feel pretty and a little exotic without making my look too OMG-sparkles-NewYearsEve-over the top, you know? I paired it with a dark jean jacket for a nice semi-fancy birthday dinner with my fiance. 

In terms of fit, it was totally fine. Not much stretch, but it's a shift dress, so you don't necessarily expect stretch. It's lose without looking baggy. I got the size 4 as a back up and tried them both on but honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two. 

This sparkly piece was perfect for a reception, and could be played up for a classier event, or played down for an evening in Vegas!  I appreciated the how the style allowed for a real bra, plus room to move, but it could have been a bit more fitted to show off ones figure; I wore a size zero, which is small for me, but it still was roomy, giving it a less sexy feel.  I gave it four versus five stars based on how loose it was at size zero.

Wore this dress for a bachelorette party and received many compliments!  Rented 6 and 8 and ended up wearing the 8 so that the dress was more loose on my hips.  The 6 fit me perfect on the top half, but I felt uncomfortable with it being more fitted on my hips and backside.  The 8 was much bigger around my waist, but did not look sloppy and did fit my smaller chest well, the sequins and design of the dress hid the bagginess well.  I was able to wear a regular bra with this dress.  

I had no issues with fit. It was comfortable to dance in. Looked great with black tights added at the last minute.

I was worried this would be too small since I usually wear a 6 or 8 and am hippy, but it's a nice fit and was perfect. Was great for our 20s/Prohibition era casino night fundraiser at work! Super comfortable and a good length. 

Super comfortable dress.  I was worried that the sequins might be loose or catch on other items and that just wasn't the case.  Very well put together dress.

Pro:  Look
Con:  Red the reviews and chose a size smaller than I normally wear.  It was tight on my chest and hips.  I could have used the 4 as I normally wear.

I am 5'3" and the hem was right above my knee so not a short dress.   I also felt like I was wearing a bag b/c there was no real style to the dress.   Many people complimented the dress; I just didn't feel like it was flattering on me.
