Fun and flouncy
I ordered the 38 and 40 in this dress. RTR contacted me the day before I was supposed to receive the dress to inform me that the 38 was damaged and that I should choose an alternative as a back up. Customer service was very helpful and I appreciated their prompt attention to the issue. I ended up wearing the 40 because I really liked this dress, but it was a tad loose in the bust area. The band in the middle of the dress, however, was a bit tight, so all in all, the 40 was probably my best bet for comfort. I wore this to a party at a museum. Most of the women wore black or solid colored dresses, so it was nice to stand out in a pattern. Overall, I'm pleased with the look; however, given the odd proportions I would not rent this again. Also, I am 5' 3" and it was quite short on me, so beware if you are tall.

Holds everything in
One size of the original dress I ordered was unavailable at the last minute, so RTR sent this as a back up. The dress was a nice thick, scuba like material that held everything in, but the dress was kind of boring. I ended up wearing the other size in the original dress I ordered (although it was a tad big). This dress was fine, but I didn't like the very high neckline and the concentration of black around the middle was not the waist whittling effect I expected. It would probably look better on a taller person.

Eye popping color!
The color was fantastic, but even brighter in person. It was definitely a neon orange, which might look best with a darker skin tone or a tan, although I'm quite pale. I wore it to a charity event for a theater company, and I definitely stood out in a sea of black. I liked the way the 2 looked better, but I wore the 4 because the 2 was a little too tight through the arms and chest. I'm short, so it ran a little longer than I wanted. It was also a little loose through the body. This wasn't my favorite rental, but for the price and the fun pop of color, it was worth it.

Perfect little clutch
I loved this clutch, although it was a tad small. Since it's solid, you can't squeeze things in without having some trouble keeping it closed. My phone, cash and lip gloss worked but when I added my key (off the key chain!) it was a tight fit. The bag was pretty and a great addition to my outfit, so overall I'm pleased. One thing I didn't notice in the pictures is a small "I ❤️ Moschino" emblem on the front. I'm not a heart fan but it was kind of cute and small enough that it wasn't distracting.

Lots of compliments
Other reviewers have mentioned that these earrings looked cheap. They are definitely costume, but I thought they complimented my outfit perfectly and I didn't feel like they were inappropriate at all for a formal affair. They were pretty light when I first put them on; however, after a few hours of wear, they left their mark. Overall, I really liked them and would definitely rent them again. Pretty much everyone I chatted with positively commented on them.

Structured and stately
I rented this for my cousin's mountain wedding in Colorado. It was perfect. The material is thick and structured, so although it has a low back, I didn't have to fool around with a bra. The wedding was over Labor Day in Colorado, so the weather was perfect for the thicker dress. I can see where it would be a bit stuffy to wear in warmer weather. The neck closure is adjustable and pretty solid. I loved the halter top and low back. It was a great way to show off my favorite features - my back and shoulders.

Not in great shape
I was disappointed in the wear and tear on this bag. There was a large section that was worn down, and since it's a black bag, it showed up white and frayed. If it was in better condition, it would have been a cute addition to the outfit. I didn't end up using it. I called rtr as soon as I received the order, and the customer service woman was super helpful and kind, and offered a refund for the purse as soon as I returned it. Although I was disappointed that I couldn't use the bag, I was very pleased with how rtr handled my disappointment. The dress I rented was great, so overall my experience was a good one.

Lots of compliments
I'm the Vice President for a non-profit associates board. I rented this dress for our annual gala, a Mardi Gras themed cocktail party. This dress was perfect for the event and theme. I got compliments all night long. It was super comfortable and very flattering. My only complaint is that it was a bit tight under the arms, but when I went up to the size 6, it was a bit too baggy. This was my first experience with RtR, and I am very pleased. I will definitely rent again.
