Work dinner
Dress was comfortable and fit like a glove. One thing I was caught off guard with is that the skirt can fly up a bit so watch out if it's gusty out.

Holiday perfect
Fit like a glove, very comfortable and classy. Wore it for Christmas Eve and received compliments. Cinched right under my rib cage. Could be dressed up or down depending on accessories, etc. Fabric feels great on the skin.

You can't help but feel elegant
This dress fit like a glove, was comfortable to wear all night and I received compliments throughout the night (including one from a pro-baseball player's wife). It has a hint of sexy because of the sheer panel between the breasts but is not indecent. My breasts are a little larger right now post-baby and I felt very comfortable. If you are an athlete or former swimmer I would size up to accommodate an athletic back. The slit is just right and I never felt as though I was about to have a wardrobe malfunction. I didn't realize I picked out the long but the length worked well with 3" heels for me. I picked out this dress in the Georgetown store after I had to swap out for a different dress that didn't fit me. I'm glad I had to do it. The Georgetown store staff were very helpful, professional and attentive. The selection there was great and I loved this gown more than the original I requested.

Added just the right pop!
These are beautiful, not too heavy, and didn't bother my usually sensitive ears. They complemented the Lavender Brandy Gown I wore to a black tie event perfectly. Highly recommend!

Deco-dent!
Super cute dress and very comfortable--also super short so be mindful of that when ordering and stepping out of cars. The hemline of the dress hit my legs about the same as in the picture, mid-thigh, maybe a little higher.The design is so beautiful though and super waist cinching. Loved it. Would consider sizing up for the back up.

Like a piece of abstract art!
The pattern on the dress and the colors are beautiful, well crafted and comfortable dress. Should be flattering on most body types. The length on me was the same as the model. I didn't have a backup size and maybe the 4 would have been a tad better just to give my shoulders a little more room but the dress fit great.

Piece It Together Dress
Rachel Roy

Ladylike but sexy
This is a great dress! I wore it for our anniversary dinner and it was a big hit with the husband but I also received lots of compliments on the dress from others. The color is gorgeous and the lace is in very good condition. For girls with broad shoulders the 2 could be a bit of more of a squeeze but it is still very comfortable. I never felt like my shoulders/back were going to bust through the lace or anything. The back of the dress is perfect to show off a toned back. It's fitted through the waist but leaves room in the stomach (so you can enjoy a nice meal and not worry about your food baby showing!). It also has pockets, although I didn't realize it had them until the end of the day. They don't show at all. The length on me was the same as the model.

Gorgeous color
The color of this dress is gorgeous. The fit was great as well, very comfortable. I think because the fit of the dress I wore the night before (the candy wrapper Trina Turk dress) was just so perfect that by comparison this one didn't wow me however, I received lots of compliments on the dress.

Pleats Gone Wild Dress

Sassy and lady like
I wish I could have worn this one. I'm usually a 2 in Tibi dresses but this one was a little snug in the chest. I zipped it and everything but it flattened out my chest--which didn't look right. I think the 4 would have been perfect though. The color and pattern are striking. I'd definitely order again but would size up.

Girly and fun
Received this dress as a back up and ended up wearing it. It was such a hit! I received so many compliments! Very comfortable, especially through the arm holes and chest (I have a broad shoulders and the 2 was comfortable).

Dreamy dress
This is such a gorgeous gown! The material is so silky and drapes beautifully, very comfortable. I wore it to a benefit, and it was a hit. I read the other reviews and made sure to size up---I usually wear between a 2 and 4. With the side zip (which is always tougher to zip for me because of my large rib cage and swimmer's shoulders) I decided to go 4R and 6R. The 4 didn't zip, the 6R was a little roomy but it still looked fantastic. The length was perfect, I'm 5'4" and wore 1 1/2" heels that looked like they were hemmed to go with the dress. Highly recommend!

Be Romanced Dress
Temperley London
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 34C
bold colors and very flirty
This was a dress I had sent to me by RTR because my original choice wasn't available. The dress was comfortable, material looked great and the fit was perfect. I usually wear a 2 (and it did fit) but I went with the 4 in the hopes of getting more length. On that note, my only warning is that it is a short dress. I read a review for someone of my similar build who said the length was longer on them and not mid thigh like on the model--well that was not my experience. It hit me mid thigh just like the model. It didn't stop me from having fun though and I received so many compliments on the dress (which always happens when I go with RTR). The green is a very pretty color and the contrast is striking. There's no way to be a wallflower in this dress!

fierce clasp for a fierce minaudiere
Roomy enough to fit all my essentials for a wedding: iphone, small mascara, lip gloss, ID and credit card. Chic, I wanted to keep it because it can so easily transform any outfit. I hope to be able to rent another one of these minaudieres in the future.

This was a beautiful necklace that I rented with the Milly Parisian love dress for a date night with my husband at the ballet. It looked fantastic, made a statement but it wasn't over the top.
