Classy dress for birthday+engagement date
Ahhh I'm in love with this dress. This was a replacement after a different rental (Allison Parris Down The Middle Dress) didn't fit. I was afraid it would be a little boring for our romantic night out, but it was perfect. This dress was shorter than I'm used to, but otherwise it was so comfortable and effortless to wear. It's rare with 34DDDs that I find something so comfortable without wearing a bra! The flared skirt is a lot of fun, though as you can see in the picture the hem has fallen out a bit. As other reviewers have suggested, I was going to tape it up before going out, but forgot. Hoping RTR will put it on clearance at some point :)

Most sparkly dress I've ever worn
I'm not normally a sparkly/sequins kind of person, but given all the green dresses I was in love with for Christmas were already reserved, I figured I'd try this out. It worked out great! The sequins even have little flecks of color in them which made it festive. It does run quite large, so I ended up wearing the small. Even then, the neckline was a little droopy so it showed a surprising amount of cleavage with my 34DDDs, but it was still fine for my company party. Even with the layers of sequins, it manages to hug every curve and bump, so shapewear is recommended if you're into that sort of thing. Oh – and the best part about this whole rental (other than all the compliments from my coworkers) – UPS was a day late with my delivery and the clock was ticking toward the party, so I called RTR to try to figure out what was going on. The associate was SO helpful, she called UPS and they arranged for the driver to stop by my house earlier on his route to get the dress to me just in time. Fantastic service and cooperation amidst holiday shipping craziness!

Dancing Til Daylight Dress

Great dress for professional conference
I was looking for something in the style of Jackie Sharp from House of Cards to give me confidence during a keynote presentation, and this fit the bill. Very professional and simple cut, but not too boring with the blue and black paneling. I'm *pretty sure* I wore the 10 because the 8 was a little snug in the tummy/constricting in the shoulders. Since I sized up, there were some spots that were a little loose, particularly the sleeves. But overall it was very comfortable and a solid choice. Might rent again for similar events.

Loved the pattern and shine of this dress
The fabric of this dress was definitely my favorite part – you can't really tell from the photo, but it has a nice shine to it. Both the 8 and 10 fit, but the 8 felt more secure. Definitely snug and hugs the curves. It was more low-cut than I was hoping, so I was a little self conscious about it at the professional/charity event I was attending – but it would've been fine for other venues. From previous reviews I was hoping the wire in the front would give some control over the amount of cleavage, but with my 34DDDs it wasn't enough. Wore with a strapless bra because it was more comfortable for me, though it'd be better without since it was hard to keep hidden (you can see it peaking out a little in the photo). Overall, really enjoyed this dress, but not sure if I'd rent it again.

Aviva Dress

I really wanted to like it, but...
Rented this with the intention of wearing it for New Years and a birthday dinner. The flared skirt was great, but it just didn't fit in the chest. I was ready for the amount of cleavage based on the other reviews, but my 34DDDs were just too big for the size 6, causing a weird line around the middle where the fabric was pulled too tight. Then the size 8 was too big/floppy in the shoulder area to keep the cleavage manageable, while still tight in the same spot. Large chested ladies, beware with this one. It was too late for me to get a replacement for New Years, but I did end up with a great replacement dress for my birthday thanks to RTR support.

This dress was the perfect combination of elegance and fun for the annual MBA gala
First RTR experience, and I wish we would've gotten better pictures! But will definitely be renting again. I've recently gained weight so wasn't sure what size would work best. I'm 5'4", 148ish lbs, 36DDish, 35" waist. I was able to get the 8 on with assistance, but it was just too snug in the bust, overflowing. The 10 went on more easily and fit pretty well in the bust, although the top edge sagged a little bit - it's clear other busty women have worn this dress. Otherwise the construction was very solid, and it stayed up throughout the night with occasional adjustments. I wore a strapless bra since there was room for it in the 10, although it wasn't really required. The boning did occasionally stab me as other reviewers have mentioned, but it was tolerable. The torso seemed a little short or somehow oddly proportioned. But overall, I really enjoyed wearing it and it was perfect for the event. The color, pattern, and draping were beautiful.
