Felt very Hollywood in this dress!
I rented this dress for a Mardi Gras ball. This dress was so beautiful in person. I rented a 0L and a 2R as my back up because I wasn't sure on size or length. I ended up wearing the 0L. I could have worn the 2, but felt like the 0 fit better in the bust and it is kind of stretchy from the waist down so I didn't feel like the 0 was too tight. As far as length, the Long was too long and the Regular was too short! I'm 5'5" and like to wear heels when I wear a formal and normally wear a 3-4" heel. The regular length in this dress was almost too short even barefooted so I wore the long and just had to pick it up when I walked. It wasn't terrible but was definitly like an inch longer than I needed. That being said, I still loved the dress and got many compliments throughout the night.

Great earrings
I rented these to go with a formal gown I had rented for a Mardi Gras ball. I loved these earrings. They were super light and were a great sparkly accessory to add to my gown. Would definitely rent them again.

Great earrings
I rented these to go with a formal gown for a Mardi Gras ball. Loved the sparkle. Were not heavy and were a super easy accessory to add to my gown. Would definitely rent them again.

Loved this clutch!
I rented this clutch to go with a formal gown I had rented for a Mardi Gras ball. I loved this clutch. It was small, but I could fit my iPhone, lip gloss and lipstick, and some credit cards and cash. It was the perfect accessory and I wish I could buy this clutch. Got several compliments at the ball.

Didn't care for it
I rented this dress for a formal Mardi Gras ball. The 0 fit fine, but the Long length was really long on me. I'm 5'5" and was wearing 4" heels. (I struggle with lengths on formals from RTR because I'm kind of in between the regular and long and like to wear heels when I wear a formal gown. The regular length is normally too short with heels.) I felt like this particular dress the lace looked a little ragged and just didn't have that pizazz that I was wanting for a fun ball. I felt too matronly in it and ended up wearing another dress I had rented.

Amazingly warm!
I rented this for a formal ball. It was the perfect accessory to add to my gown, and this small fur kept me surprisingly warm (it was freezing cold outside, Washington DC in January). It is so soft and cozy, I didn't want to return it! I loved this fur and hope I get a chance to rent it again.

Too big and too long
I did not end up wearing this dress because it did not fit. I had rented a 2L. I am small busted (32B) and the 2 was just not as tight as I would have liked around the bust. A 0 would have probably fit great. As far as the length, the long was way too long for me even with my 4" heels. I am 5'5" and therefore I'm kind of in between the lengths. Most of the regular lengths are too short with heels, but because this is a fuller skirt I think the regular would have been great with being 5'5" and wearing 3-4" heels.

Elegant yet sexy
I LOVED this dress! This dress was sent to me by RTR because the dress I originally ordered was damaged. So I was pleasantly surprised when I tried on this dress and it fit perfectly! The back is stunning and definitely adds a sexy feel to the more conservative front. The length was perfect as well. (I'm 5'5" so I'm in between the lengths and most Regular lengths are too short on me with heels. But I guess because this is a fuller skirt the Regular length fit perfect with my 4" heels.) The only con is the zipper. It is extremely difficult to zip up this dress by the beaded belt area. It took my husband 10 min to get me zipped in it. But once I got it zipped I felt so pretty in this dress. I would definitely recommend this dress, just be prepared to have someone who is patient help you with the zipper.

Extra little sparkle!
I loved this bracelet! It added a nice little sparkle to my formal dress that I wore to a ball. I have small wrists and was worried it may be too big, but it fit great. FYI: Need an extra set of hands to do the clasp.
