Easy, Breezy, and Beautiful in Red
LOVED this option for a June wedding. Beware that it stretches as the night goes on. What started out as a good fit became a bit too loose. Use garment tape to anticipate the stretch. It also wrinkles easily, so don't rent for a far away wedding where you'll be in the car if wrinkles bug you!

Effortlessly chic
Rented this for a late August wedding; it was perfect! I read some reviews that suggested to size down, and though I could zipper the small, it was an uncomfortably tight fit. I wore the medium and had plenty of room to eat and dance in. 5 out of 5, beautiful option!

An easy breezy wear
I rented this dress to wear to my brother's wedding shower and it was absolutely adorable. The ties are made of a hard, gauzy like material but can look nice with help from a friend. Because I'm so broad, I'm usually a 6 and sometimes even an 8 in dresses that zip all the way up the back. Because this dress had adjustable shoulders and a V-back, I ordered a 6 and a backup size 4. I wore the 4 and still had room to move. Size down for your back up FOR SURE! It was a float dress that was easy to move, sit, and help in. Highly recommend for a day time event!

High quality fabric and fit
I ordered this dress for a June Newport wedding, but my usual size 6 was unavailable. I therefore ordered an 8 and a 4. The 4 was a little tight on my Rib cage but was much more flattering than the 8, which felt big. I'm going to say this dress fits true to size, but that you can size down if needed. Overall, a beautiful dress with high quality fabric and structured fit that allowed me to go bra-less. I'd order from this designer again!

Sizzling LBD!
This dress sizzles! The side panels are made of a silky material which draws attention to the smallness of your waist. It fit like a glove and I did not have to wear a sticky bra. The only quirk: the darts on the chest make it look like you have "headlights" showing. No matter what I did, I could not keep them from pointing straight out. It's a dark color and isn't noticeable to others unless you point (no pun intended) it out.

Such a fun color!
What a beautiful clutch. It's a true "envelope" style clutch and is quite large, but doesn't look silly with the proper outfit. The material is luxurious and the zipper detail along the edges gives it a unique quality that everyone loved and complimented.

Gorgeous garden party midi!
I ordered this for my best friend's bridal shower and it was the perfect dress for such an occasion! It wasn't "too white," so do not fear if interested in wearing to a bridal event when you are NOT the bride. The pleats and midi-length made it more memorable than a traditional "maxi dress" and I would absolutely rent again.

Satin side panels and shoulder baring top make for chic cocktail!
I adore this dress and cut. I've already rented and wore this same dress in red. I'm incredibly broad shouldered and felt comfortable on both size 6 and 8 but opted for extra wiggle room (as my event required long periods of sitting) and length that the 8 provided. It's classic, curve hugging, glamorous and my go to order. A must have!!!

Unique pattern with classic shape!
I wore this to emcee a Fashion Show fundraiser held on a Sunday afternoon. The fit is incredibly flattering and no shape wear is needed. The Versace buckles add a touch of glam to a dress patterned for fun. It's not as black as it seems on the model, so be prepared for a daytime look, not a formal garment. Huge fun, would rent again!

Fun take on the LBD with flattering cut outs
I wore this dress to attend a show and received so many compliments. The length is appropriate for so many different occasions and the sleeves kept me warm while adding style. Note: the sleeves are completely unattached from the dress. They clip behind the neck and show a good portion of your upper back. Though the "arm pit" cut outs may seem strange, they're incredibly flattering!

Incredibly flattering fit makes this un embellished dress PERFECTION
I wore this for a Mayor's Inaugural Ball and it was a huge hit. The color is rich and the fit is perfect. I ordered both the 6 and 8 and wore the 8 for extra length and more wiggle room (the event required lots of sitting). I plan to order it in black, it's too well made not to wear again!

Comfortable, flattering, and sexy: a winner!
I rented this dress for a Red Fashion Show gala benefitting women's heart health. Dress code was, of course, red! I was pleasantly surprised by the cut and fit of this dress. The jersey is surprisingly forgiving and the sleeves kept me warm while making me stand out among the sea of sleeveless and strapless cocktails. I'd undoubtedly rent again for a comfortable, effortlessly sexy dress.

Fun play on business in this rich color and key hole front
I rented this dress for a business workshop. I knew the venue would be freezing (hotel ballroom) and was looking for something other than the sleeveless dresses so often worn to these events. I'm broad shouldered so the sleeves fit tighter near the arm pit that shown on the model. It was still comfortable and presented a professional yet fashion conscience image, which I liked. The color is beautiful and the fabric has a little give, which made it comfortable to sit in. This dress served it's purpose!

Extremely comfortable LBD with unique cut!
I rented this dress to attend an evening pageant. It has undoubtedly been worn and dry cleaned many times but it didn't look dingy or faded on the outside (the inside of the dress looked worn, though). Once you get the dress on, you have to take time to untwist and position it the way you want on your body. It took me a moment to figure it out but once on, loved the fit. It's longer in the back but the slit and bared shoulders add sass WITH class, a winning combination. If you want to be comfortable yet sexy, order this dress!

Simple and flattering cut made fun with a conversation-starting print!
I've had my eye on this dress for quite a while but hadn't found the appropriate event to wear it to. I attended an afternoon pageant and wore with black sandals similar to those shown with the model. The fabric is thick but breathable and works as shape wear to accentuate the best parts of a woman: curves! The sleeves are long but not uncomfortably so and I didn't feel like I had to constantly pull the dress down. If you want to rock a body hugging piece of art, rent this! You'll look out of this world (pun intended).

Make RTR even EASIER and MORE CONVENIENT (if you can imagine that)
If you rent from RTR on a regular basis, purchasing PRO is a no brainer. For only $25 a YEAR, you pay $0 for shipping and the insurance fee is waived. The only extra expense tacked onto the rental price is tax. It's a money saver and I'm so thankful for this new option.

Gorgeous trumpet shape that is effortlessly flattering
I ordered the 6L with a 4R as my backup size because 4R was not available. The 6L was a great length and fit my broad shoulder perfectly. The fabric is luxurious and the gold back was the source of conversation and compliments all night. Lovely!

I wore this dress for my Miss America send off party. It arrives right on time and fit like a glove!
This dress is PERFECT! It hugs in all the right places and makes your waist look tiny, then the skirt flounces out playfully. The lace is gorgeous and I received endless compliments on it. Easy to sit in!
