Simple, classic LBD!
This was not my favorite dress I've ever rented from RTR, but I did still like it. It was a good length on me (I'm pretty short) but the sleeves were a little tight around my arms. It's a very plain dress, so I wore it with a belt and a big necklace to spice it up a little. Overall it was fine, I don't think I'd rent it again though!

Fun dress!
I rented this dress for my cousin's bat mitzvah. I absolutely loved the skirt, but I'm pretty short and the torso part was way too long. I had to fold it under and belt the dress to make it stay. If I were taller I think it would have looked nicer. Overall a very fun dress!!

I got so many compliments on this dress!
I rented this dress to wear for a wedding rehearsal dinner in Arizona and it was perfect! The dinner was outdoors but the fabric was breathable enough for the hot Phoenix sun. The colors were beautiful! The cap sleeves and the length (it was long on me - just above my knees) made it appropriate to wear in temple. I cinched it at the waist with a teal belt to make it a little more fitted. Overall a great rental!

Perfect sparkly New Year's Eve dress!
This was the perfect New Year's Eve dress! The entire dress is covered in sequins (even the black parts) which add a ton of extra sparkle. Occasionally the sequins would catch on each other, which was probably my only real negative of the dress. It definitely runs large; I wore the 8 but probably could have worn the 6. I'm pretty short so the dress came about mid-thigh on me which was what I was looking for. I rolled the sleeves up (an idea I borrowed from a review by a fellow RTR-er) and I think that really made the dress. Overall a great fitting, very fun dress! I would rent it again!

Lightweight and very versatile necklace! I would buy it!
I originally rented this necklace to wear with a dress I ordered, but it ended up not working. I was able to wear it with a different outfit that weekend and it worked great! Very lightweight, almost like I wasn't wearing anything! It did break while I was wearing it; one of the rings holding the triangles together came lose but my RTR insurance covered the damage. If I owned this I would probably wear it several times per week!

Very cute pattern on a slightly odd fabric. Wish I was a little taller for this!
I had originally ordered this dress to wear for a birthday celebration in Atlantic City, but it was more formal than I had expected. The fabric was a little stiffer than I had anticipated, and the top half (bust up) was much too large; the wide neck did not help. It was also a little long. I have a short torso and it was very apparent in the dress. I was still able to wear the dress; my hair covered most of the problem areas. I added my own belt which added a lot to the dress. I ended up wearing it for the dinner and drinks the evening before the celebration. If I were taller, I think it would have fit perfect. Still very comfortable and looked nice!
