This bag is the best!! Holds all I need and perfect length.
I always have trouble with small cross body bags. Too small, too short, too long. Not this one!! Holds glasses, phone, keys and more. Perfect length and live the color.

Fave RTR so far!
This dress far exceeded my expectations. It looks beautiful in the photo, and is just gorgeous "in person". Comfortable, not too long ( so I didn't have to wear gigantic heels to keep it off the ground, pockets which held my IPhone 6 Plus!! I would definitely rent this again.

Backup dress. Not worn.
This dress is way shinier in person. It runs a little small, the back is cut very low (bra strap shows) and the skirt is extra poufy. Probably fine for a smaller person. Pockets are a plus!

"You're the hottest wife in the room."
Wore this to my husband's college reunion. Halfway through the evening my daughter leaned over and said, "You're the hottest wife in the room. By far." Enough said. Dress very comfy, with bonus pockets. Fabric is heavy *and* it's lined, so not for very hot days. Zipper stuck a bit at waistband, but I have found that with every single RTR dress I've ever rented.

Black ties for black tie!
I rented this for my daughter. It was a last-minute replacement dress. Most complimented dress of the night. Fit nicely, surprise ruffle along the bottom which doesn't show well in RTR photo. A little long in those who are not "model tall". A big hit!

Palm Springs wedding!
I really liked this dress. Thought it was going to be hot because it's neoprene...but it was very comfortable. Also, bonus pockets! Would have liked a little more give in the waist, but otherwise perfect.

Bag was pretty, but didn't fit my iPhone 6 Plus.
I like this bag, and rented it based in measurements listed. Unfortunately the measurements were for the OUTSIDE of the bag, not the inside. My iPhone 6 Plus did not fit :-(.

This dress was so comfortable and looked great! Bag is from RTR too!
Wore this to a New Year's Eve semi-formal. I was in it for 5 hours, sitting, standing, dancing. So comfy and never had to be adjusted. Gentle side ruching is flattering and good camouflage. I would totally rent this again.

This gown was so flattering and comfortable!
This was the alternate dress I rented for a "red tie" gala. The fit is fantastic, and it is surprisingly comfortable. I rented the long, and wore 3-inch heels. I probably could have gotten away with the regular, but thought the flow and train effect was cool. Would absolutely rent this again.

Rented this for a "red tie" gala. Ended up wearing another dress.
I rented for a gala. The smaller size was too small, the larger size too big, and the zipper on both was problematic, as others have said. Luckily I also rented an alternate, which looked fantastic.

I wore this to the 2013 Grammy Awards. Put it on at 2:30PM and stayed comfy all the way till 11!
Dress arrived in perfect condition, although some of the sequins had gotten tangled up with each other. Had to be careful to get them separated. It was a little short, but not annoying so. I think it runs a little small, and I wore the larger of the two sizes I ordered (one size up from my normal size). Fabric has a little give, so is very comfortable for long events (I wore this one for nearly 9 hours). Got tons of compliments, and definitely stood out in a sea of black lace and other neutrals. Only drawback was someone else in the bar before we left for the venue--wearing the same dress! I would totally wear this again, though.
