Simple Classy & Unique
Loved most things about this dress. It was very forgiving in the mid section (normally I wear a large for my thunder thighs & tummy). The cut outs were darling and unique. It was comfy to dance in. I wish though that it lent itself to be more off the shoulder. My arms were too wide / shoulders broad for it to stay where I wanted it to stay. The large allowed me to be and stay off the shoulder but it was too baggy everywhere else . Also this dress is not the best option for a HOT OUTSIDE August wedding in St Louis humidity! I was dying in sweat but oh well! I got tons of compliments and still glad it worked out !!

COLOR POP
Rented this for a charity gala after party in downtown STL! Didn't get a chance to take a full pic at the event so here is after dancing all night! Pros: fun color, made my blue eyes pop, fit my waist up pretty well, still had enough room to bust some moves on the dance floor Cons: usually I would have the size 12 as my back up but it was taken for the weekend. Just barely fit into the 10 but I made it work with my friend called SPANKS:) it's always a gamble with non flowy dresses if my thighs are going to fit. It was very snug and da thighs were thundering but for the night I embraced it!

Beautiful & bootylicious lil black dress
Rented this for a friend's bachelorette night downtown Chicago. I felt a little too dressed up since it was on a Wednesday night but when I tried it on, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to rock it. PROS: LOVED the neckline and loved how it showed off my crossfit shoulders. The gold detailing was so beautiful and elegant. Loved that I didn't need to get any statement jewelry since the dress speaks for itself. Unfortunately we didn't get as much dancing in as we thought but it had enough stretch for some solid dance moves. I would have loved to wear some sexy heels but since we walked around a ton downtown and the wedding was that weekend, I wore sparkly sandals to save my feet CONS: My thunder crossfit thighs didn't have as much room as they would have liked. I wore spanx FOR SURE to help smooth out my waist/hip/thigh transition. The dress was bootylicious which I was a little self conscious about sometimes you just have embrace what your mamma gave ya ;)

Unexpectedly one of my fav's!
Wasn't too excited when I ordered this one but when I put it on, it fit well in all the right places for my curves. It gave me a wonderful waistline/helped hide my tummy! I still wore some spanx to help smooth out a few areas. I'm not super busty so I could see the bust being tight for some ladies since it was tight (not too tight though) for me. Super comfy, super fun bold color, super easy to tear up the dance floor! My friend is also wearing a RTR dress too!!

Perfect Pick for the Spring
I was expecting this dress to be too big on me so I rented the 8 as my back up but I knew when I opened up the dresses that even a 10 was gonna be a tad snug. My chest and waist fit perfectly but it hit a few areas around my tummy that I felt self conscious about so I wore spanx under. It was also a tad snug with the arms area but I expected that since I do crossfit :) A fair warning: it is on the short side even with me being short. Wasn't distasteful at all though and never had to worry about it with dancing. The material was thicker so I kept warm on the brisk spring. Overall it was a fun, sassy, BOLD dress. I wish I could keep it!

I felt like a rockstar in this dress!
This is dress is a fun twist on a little black dress. It is so unique and SUPER fun. I received quite a few compliments and I felt super comfortable and sassy the entire night! I ordered and 10 & a 12. Ended up wearing the 12 because I have pretty muscular thighs so they needed some extra room. Unfortunately the 12's upper body was pretty loose while the 10 fit perfectly. I did some temporary stitches to the 12 to make the chest area not so loose so overall it all worked out! By the way it is bead-work not sequins on the dress. It is hard to tell in pictures. I was cautious all night especially when sitting down to not destroy the beading. The two dresses I received already had some wear and tear to it but I still had to be careful. **the second pic is my roomie & I...she rented her dress on renttherunway too and loved it! **
