Loved this dress! The color is beautiful, more of a reddish purple than it appears on the stock photos, and I got a lot of compliments on it. It was comfortable and didn’t require any special bra. I wore it with tights and tall boots. The seams for the ruching felt a little weird but not enough to be uncomfortable. I wasn’t expecting the button up neckline but it wasn’t uncomfortable, either. I loved the fabric and the fit, and it was easy to move in. It had weight but was not heavy. The only minor issue I had was that the hems around the arm holes are not sewn down so I had to be sure they were tucked down after I put it on, but they didn’t come untucked throughout the night so I’m not going to subtract a star. A great dress for a winter event!

This dress is gorgeous! It is a lot more cleavage than I usually show but it was so worth it for the sparkles and rainbows. The dress is cut beautifully and the slit doesn’t feel too revealing, although I did have to be a little careful how I sat. Totally worth it for the gorgeous colors!

This dress sparkles like a disco ball! I wore it to a formal work party and I got lots of compliments! It caught the light everywhere I went. I'm 4 months pregnant and was a little worried about accommodating the bump, but it did just fine! No special undergarments required, which was a huge perk because I am not messing with a fussy dress right now. I loved the length and the only time it felt itchy was when I was wearing my coat over it, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Highly recommended!

This was a backup dress but I ended up loving it so much. It was so elegant! The ruffles especially were so much fun. It fit well and draped beautifully. I wore an adhesive bra but probably didn't need it. I'm not talk and the length was perfect with heels. This dress is the perfect mix of classic, dainty lace and goth aesthetic!

This dress is beautiful! The red lace really stands out, and the way the skirt draped is unique and gorgeous. I got compliments all night about how unique and flattering the dress was. I am a little heavier after having a baby and this dress made me feel beautiful and stylish. For the most part it was very comfortable, too. I wore it without a bra and had no issues. One minor note was that the neckline was beautiful but a little itchy and constricting. It didn't stop me from dancing or anything but if you think you'll be bothered by that, you might want to look elsewhere. It wasn't enough to detract from my rating! As always, the rent and return part was easy—I just didn't want to give this one up!

This is a showstopper. The colors, the way it falls, the way it moves...all gorgeous. I was a little worried about the plunging neckline but it stayed put. With 3"+ heels, the hem hit in just about the right place. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a perfect score was the fact that the miniskirt portion has almost no give. The 4 fit perfectly up top but was too tight in the hips. Even with the 6, I had to pull the skirt down every time I stood up. It probably wasn't the right dress for someone with hips as wide as mine, and even in the picture, you can see a little bit of the lining of the skirt poking out. Oh well, I still felt amazing.

The color drew me to this dress because I thought it would go well with my hair. I wore it to my work holiday formal, which was also my first time getting all dressed up since having my baby 4 months ago. The 6R fit well and was the perfect length with 3.5 inch heels. I loved the cutout—it felt like just the right amount of skin. My only issues with the dress were undergarment related. I had to try a few normal bras to find one that didn't show below the cutout and the one that worked had a slight wrinkle on the cup that showed. I think shapewear would have been a better choice than a thong but it worked well enough. But I didn't worry about any of that while I was wearing the dress at my event! Someone said I looked like a mermaid, which totally made my night. I got so many compliments and it was fun to feel so elegant and sexy. I needed the boost after having my baby! As always, the rental process was smooth and stress-free. The hardest part was deciding which dress to pick!

The colors on this dress are gorgeous. The red is so vibrant, and the design is unique—no one else at the event had anything like it. The fabric felt and looked great, but it doesn't have a lot of give. I wore the 6 because the bust was too tight in the 4. I wore a strapless bra but probably could have gone without. The boning holds the shape of the bust well, but the ends of the boning dug into my ribs when I sat down. Otherwise it was pretty comfortable, though I had to pull it up a few times. I got tons of compliments and had a blast wearing it. The way the skirt flares is just so pretty!

This dress is a stunner! The silhouette is simple and flattering, and the material is forgiving. It fit well in the bust, hips, arms, and waist. The dress felt comfortable, if a little heavy. No special undergarments required! The zipper was a bit hard to work, and I had to be sure to smooth it down in the back at the bottom of the zipper, because it protruded a little. Not a big deal, and that's my only minor complaint! I got so many compliments on this dress. I'm on the shorter side, so the regular was a bit long, but I wore it with my tallest heels. I think it was supposed to have a bit of a train, and I felt so elegant holding the train as I walked.

This dress is so cool and stylish! I wore it for dinner out with my husband and some friends for my birthday. Even though it doesn't show much skin, I felt so sexy while I was wearing it. I loved the long sleeves, and the pattern accentuated my figure. I loved the bright blue, red, and pink tones. The dress is different and eye-catching without screaming "LOOK AT ME!" The black platform pumps that I got to wear with the dress didn't fit, but I think the glittery shoes I ended up wearing worked just fine. The small fit pretty well, though it did ride up just a little bit. It was a little snug in the bust and hips for me, but it worked for the style. The arms and shoulders fit well, so it was still comfortable to wear. There was no way the XS was going to fit, so I wish I had gotten the M for the backup size. The neoprene fabric stretches and hides lines, so there were no issues with wearing normal undergarments. Despite the long sleeves, the fabric breathed well, so this dress can go from early fall to winter easily. I liked it so much, it was hard to return it! Of course, the rental experience was smooth and convenient.

I originally ordered the 4 and the 6 but switched to the 2 at the last minute before it shipped. So glad I did, because it runs slightly large. The arm holes were just a tiny bit snug (not enough to bother me) but it fit so well everywhere else. Everyone kept calling it the Michelle Obama dress and I got so many compliments on it. It was a little heavy for a summer wedding with the thicker fabric, but the cut kept me from getting overheated. I loved the colors. The skirt laid so nicely and the cut would flatter both curvier and more athletic ladies! Didn't need any special undergarments, which is always a huge plus. Also, I enjoyed the pockets more than I thought I would!

The dress is a somewhat heavy scuba material, but it was comfortable to wear and the cut kept me cool. It was perfect for a late summer/early fall wedding. I loved the print and cut, and the length was perfect for anxiety-free dancing! The material had some stretch. The 2 was only slightly snug at the arms: not enough to be uncomfortable or to look bad. The pleats at the waist added just a tiny bit of bulk from the side but it was still a flattering cut. I got several compliments on the dress but still felt completely appropriate for the event. Everything about the rental was smooth and easy. I keep telling everyone I know to use RTR!
