Scandalously short!
I could not wear this dress because it was so short it barely covered my underwear, especially in front where the wrap skirt meets. The dress is not lined and the fabric feels cheap. I know it is made of silk, but it felt like polyester.

Dramatic glow
This chunky gold necklace is very striking. It has a nice glow that reflects well on your face. However, the back of the necklace is a little scratchy- the metal is not smooth and polished, so it was a bit uncomfortable.

Fun summer dress
This is the first dress from RTR that I actually wanted to keep. The colors are very fun. There are nice details in the dress, including little beads at the ends of the strings for the halter. The dress is lined with hot pink satin. It is rather casual and worked well for a night out with friends.

cute bangles
There are 2 each of 4 styles of bracelet. They are great together, but can also be worn separately. My friends and I shared the stack, so we each had a few bracelets on. It was fun!

Glamorous and whimsical
This necklace was much more solid than I had anticipated. It consists of 3 large pieces of metal connected together, so it is pretty stiff. The gold is also darker than I anticipated. The color is somewhere between gold and bronze. I did not wear the necklace, but it was pretty and dramatic

Very small
This dress was sent to me when the 2 dresses that I ordered were not available. The notes about the fit of the dress state that the dress runs small, which is quite true. I usually wear a size 2 or 4 in dresses that are fitted in the waist but flared in the hips, but in this dress the 4 was too small. As the 4 was the only size that was sent, I did not wear the dress. I think that you have to have a pretty stunning figure to pull this dress off.

Too big
I needed a size 2L or 4L, but the 6L was sent instead and was too big. The dress appeared to be well constructed.

Very short!
This dress was sent as a last-minute replacement when the dresses I ordered were not available. The dress, even in the long size, did not even come down to my ankles. It was pretty funny looking! My friend who is about 5'2" tried the dress on, and it was even a little short on her, although it was long enough that it would not have been funny looking had she worn the dress out. I found the hips slightly snug, but not overly tight.

Glamorous and comfortable
The back of the bodice is elasticized, providing quite a bit of wiggle room for fit. I wore the 2L, but just as easily could have worn the 4L (although the 2 did fit a little more securely). The 2 was missing the lining in the skirt, which I probably would not have noticed if the 4 hadn't had the lining, which did help the skirt flow. Even without the lining, the skirt was very flowing. There was not really any structure in the bust, so I did opt to wear a strapless bra to provide some shape (without the bra, I looked very flat-chested). I enjoyed wearing this dress and got lots of compliments all evening.

Good deal if you rent at least 2 dresses
If you rent at least 2 dresses in a year, this pays for itself. Plus, you get a free birthday dress!

Pretty fabric
Only 1 size arrived because of bad weather in the Northeast, and it was a little too big on top. I think the smaller size that did not arrive might have fit better. I was not notified at all about this- I just opened the box and only 1 dress was there. The dress might fit better on a women with a larger bust. The back is low and would be best with a low-back bra. I wore it with a strapless bra and just pushed the back of the bra down a little; it worked for the most part. The dress definitely needs a bra- the front does not have any structure and really needs the form provided by a bra. This was a fun party dress and I enjoyed wearing it.
