Compliments galore!! Everyone LUVs this dress!
I absolutely adored this dress! Sooo comfortable - wore to a n August wedding. I was nice and cool in this . True to size . I usually wear a 4... got both 2 & 4... wore the 4. Fun to dance in! Amazed at how many people went out of their way to say how much they loved this dress. It was an outdoor wedding ceremony at a winery so I paired it with a brown open toe shoe /solid heel... worked perfectly. I also added the Kate Spade necklace shown on model... gold earrings /gold bracelet. I would definitely wear this designer again! Thanks RTR for another great rental!!

Eye catching, fantastic fit... hot dress!!
Very unique dress - I loved the scuba material . Eye catching pattern and colors. Wore out with friends in winter, with knee high boots. Dress looked great with nude peep toes as well. Could have gone with either medium or small... Liked the fit of Small better but it can ride up a bit. A little double sided tape on Spanx outer hips deters that. I will be renting more Clover Canyon soon!

WOW! LUVED this LOOK!
Another stunner from RTR! THis Halston Heritage dress fit like a glove and was so comfortable to move and dance in. I wore it to a winter black-and-white masquerade event - a full night of dancing! (I went with Batman - *grin*) The material is on the heavier side and stretchy. The dress does ride up a bit as others have mentioned. And I had to make a conscious effort to prevent the off-the-shoulder straps from riding up (I noticed this in photos after the fact).... so a little double-sided tap on the straps might be a good idea. I wore the 4 and loved the length on me (I'm only 5'3). I didn't have the back-up option available to me but based on reviewed I was quite confident that the 4 (my usual size) would fit without an issue and thankfully that was the case. I had also chosen a second dress option, which I also liked, but this one definitely fit the formal function better - sexy yet elegant and most definitely my style. I also rented/wore the Badgley Mischka Ocean Moon Earrings - a gorgeous addition of bling for my event. What a great look!

Fitted, Elegant, Comfortable & UNIQUE!
I wore this to a benefit dinner dance and felt elegant and sexy in this body-con-fit beauty of a dress. I ordered both the 40 and 42 and originally thought the fit of the 40 was a bit too tight... .especially around the chest/back/arms...and the hip area is quite small but the 42 was a little too big on me (arms of this dress are quite long). When I tried the 40 on again and wore it around the house for a bit, the material stretched and molded to me. It worked out perfectly (so glad I wore it around a bit beforehand) - I was extremely comfortable in it all evening. The zipper on the back adds a bit of an edge to the design, which I loved! (see my back of dress photo). I went simple with black shoes and gold-tone earrings. The dress pattern is so unique, not much else is needed... although I love the accessories/necklace shown on the model and worn by some of the other girls. This was "different" for me - but that is what I love about the RTR experience!

Rich deep indigo blue color on this beautiful dress!
Heavier material on this dress than I expected - be aware if you are choosing for a summer event. Hugs the body with some give - beautiful lines both front and back. Very comfortable to wear. Requires a NuBra or strapless/low back. Front is gathered and added some dimension (which works for me - but perhaps something to consider for the more-endowed). The color is such a rich blue/purple hue - makes for a stand-out dress. Made my evening very special.

Loved the flow and color of this dress!
Perfect choice for an early summer wedding I attended. Simple elegance. BEAUTIFUL coral color... I would most definitely rent this one again. (although it is awfully fun to have so many different choices in one closet!) Thanks RTR for another GREAT experience and another great look!

LUVED this absolutely unique dress!
I rented this dress for a black-tie NYE's celebration and loved it! Although mid-thigh length in the front (not quite as "mini" in front on me as model), the length in the back is *very* long (model is obviously VERY tall)... so with my 5'3" ht, I had to rock a 4.5+inch platform heel in an attempt to lift the back edge off the ground. And even then, as you can see in the photos I didn't quite accomplish that lift very well. Makes dancing/stepping backwards a little challenging (be aware).... you can't pull up the back too much because of the short front, but the look is edgy & amazing! I almost wish there was a low bustle option for the back, which definitely would have helped. (Attention designers!!) :) It is a tulle overlay and open in front, so length can't be folded under or otherwise rigged with tape. The color of the dress is a gorgeous deep navy blue - (not black). I wore black/silver mirror-edged peep toe platform heels - which you can't see in the photos, but the black did work. The sequin design (silver/deep blue/black) on the front of the dress really pops in person AND in photos. And the dress was quite comfortable to wear. If you are looking for a unique dress for a formal event and want a little edge to that look, you will feel like a star in this one!

Gorgeous crystal cuff!
This is a gorgeous work of art on your wrist.... if you are looking for a stand-out piece this is it! The crystals do stand above the silver cuff - rather like a large beautiful brooch soldered onto a cuff. Be aware that these can easily catch on fine fabrics in that regard. Obviously not a tiny piece - but was exactly what I was looking for on NYE. I have worn other pieces by Dannijo and love the unique jewelry by this designer.

The Rent the Runway concept is exceptional! I love RTR for how amazing these dresses make me feel! My husband agrees and thanks to you I wracked up the compliments. Walk in the room in an RTR designer dress and heads turn!
I rented this as a back-up dress (so didn't wear it to my event) but will definitely rent this one again in the future. Gorgeous dress, with attitude - very body conscious, and the description "edgy" is perfect. Feels absolutely glamourous against the skin. A very different fabric - a microsuede-type feel. I would suggest a strategically placed bit of tape to hold the long-sleeve bust coverage in place (I'm a mover and a shaker when out dancing... and I could tell that a wardrobe malfunction would have been a high probability for me.. but nothing a little tape wouldn't insure against. ) The leg opening also didn't quite work for me as shown on the model... not sure why that was... it was a full skirt with a split off center in the back. Easy to move in, but covered my legs. Actually runs true to size - I typically wear a 4, but "small" compared to other designers (sometimes I'm a 2 with others). I chose the 4 and 6 in this dress. I have the 4 on in my photo. I had also rented an amazing cuff which was perfect on the bare arm. A fabulous dress! I'll be back for this one again.

Stunning sparkler... lights up the room! Magical feel to this dress ~
My planned event was cancelled due to winter weather, so I was unable to wear but I'll be back to rent this one again. BEAUTIFUL dress - no doubt about it! Loved the way this makes a lady look and feel. To say these sequins sparkle is an understatement - stunning & magical sparkle factor! I could have worn either the XS or S... liked the extra room of the S - that's a S in the photos... I'm 5'3 on a good day. Sleeves were full-length on me, and hemline just above knees. If you rent this one, you will not be sorry and you will certainly not go unnoticed.

I felt like a million bucks in this dress. Now a fan of David Meister... and of course, RTR!
This dress is amazing! The moment I put it on, I KNEW - this was it. I felt like royalty - fit like a glove - as if it had been tailored to me. Head's will turn when you walk in the room in this gown. The color is a beautiful navy blue and the sequins capture the light and shimmer as you move. My husband was impressed. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of compliments all night. And the rental process from start to finish was sooo easy! I'm a forever fan ~ Thank you RTR!!
