Bachelorette beauty
The dress was a total showstopper! And comfortable as well!! Nobody believed me when I said it wasn't itchy, but it wasn't. The lining prevented any itching. It runs pretty short but the stretch really makes it fun to dance and move in. I rented the 8 and 10: size 10 was less restricting but had some bunching in the front so I went with the 8. It was a little tight on my post baby belly, but worked out pretty well. I got tons of compliments all night long--made a mama feel sexy! Highly recommend this dress.

Formal, long dress with POCKETS!
This dress was gorgeous. I ordered it for a wedding I was in and it would've worked great, but I ended up wearing a different style instead. I loved the dress, however. It was really elegant, with classy but sexy cut outs and the pockets really made it special. It is more glittery than it appears in the photos and it's not too white to wear to a wedding-it photographs mostly blue. The only thing about it that fit a bit tight was the top clasp that ran around the area where a bra would run. I don't see how you could wear a bra with it, but as long as your aren't too busty, I think it would work well without a bra. Overall, gorgeous and I would rent again.

Perfect bridesmaid dress
Wore this as a part of a wedding party for a mountainside wedding. We were told to get a blue dress so this worked very well and fit the bill. It's fun and flirty and also comfortable. It was a bit tight in the ribcage after dinner but was a great dancing and party dress. It otherwise fits true to size and is made of material that doesn't wrinkle easily. It can also be dressed up or dressed down, which makes it versatile.

Beautiful sun catcher earrings
Very beautiful earrings. They catch the sun and got a lot of attention as a part of a blue ensemble worn for a wedding. They're large but not terribly painful like some can be. Would definitely rent again

Elegant, light, beautiful color combination
I wore this dress to a fall wedding, belted with a light cardigan. It was beautiful and so lightweight. The fit was comfortable, even with a growing belly ;) I loved this dress and would definitely rent again.

Beautiful dress, bottom was uneven
Was a beautiful dress, I loved the cut of the top. Has a lot of support built in, so no need for a bra. The bottom was very uneven and ruffled. I'm only 5'4" tall and I wouldn't have been able to wear heels with the dress. Fit true to size.

A little too short for comfort...
Was hoping this one would work, but even for a short lady, this dress was way too short. It was also tight enough to ride up to be even shorter. The fabric was kind of like a sweatshirt material inside, and it was comfy, but not what I expected. Definitely size up on this one.

Fun, Fashionable statement dress
What a gorgeous dress. It was such a stand out dress and was really fun to wear. It was super comfortable and fit pretty well, although it was tighter in the hips and a bit shorter than I expected...I think it being tighter on the hips made it ride up a bit and made it slightly shorter. I got tons of compliments on the dress and it paired well with a simple pair of flats or some nude heels. I love Shoshanna and I always fit really well into her dresses. I love how versatile and flattering they are.

The colors!
This bangle was perfect for a summer wedding and dressed up a more casual dress. I absolutely loved and it wished it was cheaper to buy so I could keep it! It was adjustable to some degree. Love, love, love.

Unique and comfy dress!
This dress was really unique and fit true to size. I wasn't sure I loved it at first, due to the neckline, and I felt it made me look a bit broad, but I got tons of compliments, nonetheless. It was one of the most comfortable dresses I've rented from RTR, and for an outdoor summer wedding, was nice. The colors are very vibrant and it goes great with a bold or nude pump. Overall I was happy with this dress, not sure I'd wear it again though.

Such a fun summer dress!
This dress was so flattering and comfortable, although a little short, even for a short lady! I have pretty long legs for a 5'4" woman, so that may have contributed. The tulle lining made the dress really fun for the summer and made the silhouette very flattering. The sweetheart neckline was also really pretty and I wasn't pulling the dress up all night, which was a great thing for a strapless dress. I got so many compliments and I am fairly certain that I turned a few more ladies on to this website after wearing this cute frock. I'd highly recommend this dress to someone looking for a fun, summer dress that's easy to dance in!

Beautiful clip earrings!
I was so excited to hear that RTR rented clip ons! I have been earringless for so long, I was pumped to see such a beautiful selection on the site! They were gorgeous and nobody knew they were clip ons. I do have to say that my ears were painful by the end of the night but that's to be expected with small clips. Overall very pleased!

Cute but a little too dressy
This dress was very cute and was a nice material but the fit in the top was a bit generous and it frankly looked a bit matronly on me. I thought rest of the dress fit nice but it just didn't make me feel fun enough for an outdoor summer wedding. I would rent it again for a more conservative event!

Night out
I wore this dress for my bachelorette party and it was perfect. Every little detail was great, from the lining to the pockets. The dress is really comfortable and could be dressed up or down. It was a bit roomy in the bust and I would have likely fit better in one size down (a size 4). Normally I wear a size 6-8 dress. I would recommend ordering your size and one size smaller. I wore it with a beautiful bangle that I rented as well and it was a hit! Made me feel beautiful and I got tons of compliments and likely won over some more new customers for RTR. Highly recommend this rental!

So sparkly and beautiful! Rose gold is so classy!
The bracelets were gorgeous. There were maybe 2-4 too many, for a small wristed girl like me, but I could split the group of them up and share them with my buddies...an added bonus! They had just the right amount of sparkle and added a lot to my outfit. Perfect with an LBD.

cute but big
I rented this dress for my wedding shower but it was much too large. I typically have trouble fitting into the top of strapless dresses but this top was actually too large, and even the smaller of the two sizes (I ordered a size 6 and 8) was too big for me, the top was actually sagging. The quality of the fabric and the dress was beautiful and I was disappointed I couldn't wear it. I would suggest to order your size and one smaller if you have any qualms about fitting into the top of the dress, although the bottom fit perfectly.

The compliments on the dress kept coming! Definitely flattering and comfortable!!
I rented this dress for my wedding shower as a back-up style and it ended up being the one I wore! It was the first time I got the opportunity to rent so it was nerve wracking for sure but worked out seamlessly. The dresses arrived on time and were in mint condition. This dress was a beautiful fabric and like other reviewers had mentioned, had a subtle sparkle that made it stand out. It was really comfortable and extremely flattering. I got endless compliments and I even got some others to sign up for rent the runway! Nobody could believe it was rented! The best part was that I loved the dress and it was one I would never even try on if I had to buy it to wear it. I will definitely rent again :)
