I rented this for an outdoor wedding and it was perfect! I didn’t need much of a heel with these but opted for wedges anyway. There’s a thick enough lining that I was able to wear a black strapless bra without it showing. The dress was comfortable to wear all night and I received several compliments!

I rented this for a formal New Years Eve event and couldn't have been happier with my choice! I tried both the 6 and 8 and while both fit well I found the size 8 more comfortable for my curvy hips. The attached cape makes for a stunning look but be aware you can't lift your arms very high or the whole dress goes with it! Got lots of compliments on this one!

I rented this as a backup but ended up wearing my original choice instead. The material is thick and really holds you in and the cutouts are cool. The only drawback was that I felt the material on the hips accentuated my pear shape so I didn't end up wearing it.

I rented this dress for my recent college reunion. The color is stunning and the texture makes it visually interesting. Unfortunately at 5'3" it hit me at an awkward length. It would've looked better either shorter or much longer.

After my original rental fell through I was overnighted this dress instead. I had rented the White Floral Suzie dress last year so I knew this one would fit the same. It's a heavier scuba material which was good for a breezy Easter sunday. The fit is very flattering for pear shapes and the pockets are fantastic! I'm 5'3" and the dress hit just below my knees. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the particular dress I was sent seemed a bit worn around the edges. Overall though it was a great rental!

I rented this dress for a formal NYE party...it even showed up a day early which was great! I'm 5'3" and the petite was way too short...it barely grazed the floor when I was barefoot. I put on low heels anyway but the length was still annoying. The colors of the gown are nice and rich but the front is a little plain so I added a statement necklace. As other reviewers said the top is thick so no need for a bra! I did find it a bit tight along the neckline and torso though. Overall a nice dress.

I rented this dress as a backup for a formal NYE party. I loved the deep purple color! I wasn't sure I could wear a dress with cutouts around the midsection but they were surprisingly flattering! The only reason I didn't wear this dress was the pockets...they made the hip section bunch up and stick out in a very unflattering way. I so wanted this dress to work for me! If you're pear shaped you might want to look elsewhere.

This was a last minute replacement for one dress that didn't ship in time for a NYE party. The material is nice and stretchy and hugs every curve. It was a little too similar to the dress I wore last year so I decided against wearing this one.

I rented this jacket for my birthday week as a casual layering piece. I got the size S and the M as my backup. The S fit me better but I did wear the M when I had a longsleeve layer underneath. I'd say these are more like heavy cardigans than actual jackets...there's not much structure to them. But they do have pockets! The material is nice and soft and the blueish grey is a lovely color that goes with everything.

The material is slightly thicker but I was still comfortable wearing it in 80 degree weather. And it has pockets! One of my favorite rentals!

I rented this for a formal New Years Eve party. Based on previous reviews I ordered the dresses in Long so I could wear a heel with it. I ended up wearing the 6L which worked with a 2" heel. The fit is snug...I could've even gone up another size for a little more breathing room. The tulle is more of a latte color than the nude color it appears in the photos. There was also more of a train than I was expecting so the tulle kept getting stepped on by other people but overall it was a lovely dress. Got lots of compliments and several people claimed I was "best dressed" that night!

This was such a fun dress! I read the other reviews so I was prepared for the low cut sides and wore a strappy black sports bra with it. I like the way it looks with a denim jacket too. Love the hi-lo hem (and the pockets!) and the material is so comfy! I wore this to a BBQ and got compliments on it the whole time. Would love to buy it!

I rented this for a beach getaway and found that it's very versatile. It works as both a beach coverup as well as dressed up for a brunch. I also wore it with leggings once the temp dropped. The top was loose-fitting but the bottom half fit my curves well so I couldn't have sized down. I liked the flowy look of it anyway. Plus the drawstring waist really helped adjust the fit. And it has pockets! I'd rent this again.

I rented this for a vacation dress but it ended up being much cooler out than I anticipated so I added leggings and a denim jacket...perfect casual day wear! The dress is lined and the neckline is such that I was better off not wearing a bra at all. I'm a bottom-heavy size 4 and the size 2 was definitely the right size. If you're looking for waist definition, this is not your dress! I'd also be careful in windy conditions...it tends to fly up. However this was a nice comfy casual dress that I enjoyed wearing.

I rented this dress to wear on Easter Sunday. It was chilly out so I appreciated the thicker material and lining. The pockets were great too! My normal size 4 was really tight in the ribcage so I wore the 6 instead. The bright pink was really pretty and the fit and flare made it very comfortable. The dress does pouf out quite a bit so it's not quite as flattering from the side as I'd like. Still a great rental though!

I rented this dress for a formal NYE party. Loved the hi-lo hemline and the pockets...I didn't even need a purse! Unfortunately the torso was a bit tight. I wish I had sized up instead of down but it wasn't too uncomfortable to wear for dinner and dancing. The back did make it a little tricky to find the right bra though. But I did like that I only needed 2" heels to have the hemline just skim the floor.

I rented this dress for a formal New Year's Eve function. I ordered my normal size (4R) and 2R as a backup. The 4R fit perfectly so I went with that one. It dragged just a bit while barefoot so I probably should've tried a 4L but with 2 inch heels it still looked fine. Pretty sure it was my pear shape that caused the dress to be a bit shorter on me. Loved the way it hugged my curves and yet was so comfortable! I wore it with a NuBra to help fill out the top. Lots of compliments on this one!

This was my backup dress for a formal function. I ordered my normal size (4R) but it was much too tight around the hips and kept bunching up in the midsection. I couldn't even fully zip it up. Thankfully my first-choice dress in the same size fit. The fabric is nice and substantial and I could see where it would hang nicely if I'd ordered a larger size.

I rented this dress for a formal NYE function and got lots of compliments! The dress itself is very comfortable and the red color is stunning! The neckline is very plunging which didn't really bother me. But what did bother me was that I wore a NuBra and had to keep adjusting my dress before every photo because the edges of the bra kept peeking out. I have a wider torso so I think that was causing problems for the bust area. I rented a 0R and 2R but probably should've rented a 4R instead. Also I wore it with 4.75" heels but could've gotten away with 3" ones.

After my original choice became suddenly unavailable, I worked with Customer Service to pick out this dress. It's a lovely color and it fit fine but it was too casual for the fall formal event I attended. This would be great for a summer wedding but it wasn't the look I was going for.

I rented this for a birthday dinner in West Palm Beach. I was a little worried since I only rented one size but the fit was perfect! I'd say it runs short since I'm 5'3" and I was able to wear it with flats w/ no problem. The color is gorgeous and the straps are substantial enough that you can wear a regular bra with it. This dress can really be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I was very tempted to purchase this!!

The print of the dress is very pretty...much darker and more vibrant than the photo. Unfortunately, it just didn't work for me. I rented the 0 & 2 sizes and could barely zip up the 2. The waist hit me at a very unflattering length (bottom of my ribs) and there was just way too much material in the bust area. It was also very short. My first disappointment since using RTR but at least the return process was easy!

I rented this for a formal business event but didn't end up wearing it. The bottom half of the dress was just too tight for my pear shape and I felt I'd be constantly tugging it down during the evening. I wish I'd rented the size 4 too but it probably would have been too loose on top. Instead I wore it with tights and booties for a night out seeing Cirque du Soleil where I wouldn't care about the length/fit. Pretty dress but not my favorite rental.

I've done several rentals with RTR but this is my favorite so far! People kept commenting on how great the dress was. It's so classy yet sexy...and comfortable too! The draping on the front is really nice too. I rented both the 2R and the 0L (the 0R wasn't available) but the 2R fit my pear shape better. It was a tad roomy on top so I wore a NuBra and secured both sides of the dress with fashion tape. The length was perfect with my 4.75 inch heels. I accessorized it with chandelier earrings and a rhinestone bracelet. Also, I can't say enough about RTR Customer Service: the day of my rental I was accidentally shipped the wrong dresses. After I called and explained the situation I was overnighted the correct dresses right to my hotel since I was leaving the following day for my event.

This was my backup dress but it was so lovely I ended up wearing it instead of my main one. The blue is very vibrant and the asymmetrical hemline makes it visually interesting. I had to steam the top to get it to drape nicely (maybe because it was brand new w/ tags still on!). Top is very roomy so I wore a padded strapless bra to fill it out. Instead of the included skinny belt I wore a wide black belt to keep the elastic waist covered. Loved it!

I rented this dress for a formal business function and it was just perfect! I'm a 2 on top and a 4 on bottom so I rented both sizes. The 4 fit perfectly everywhere which means it runs a little small in the torso. The fit was very flattering and I received lots of compliments from my coworkers. Loved the pockets!

I rented this as my backup dress so I didn't end up wearing it. I'm a 2 on top and a 4 on bottom so I thought a size 2 would fit me but I could barely close the snap on the upper ribs. I'm not big-chested so I think the torso itself runs small. The fabric wasn't what I was expecting...it felt "waterproof". Pretty dress though and it looked as if the ruffles would've actually stood up for me unlike other reviewers.

My first RTR experience, I rented this dress for a formal NYE event. I rented both size 40 and 42 but the 40 fit much better. The chest was still a bit big but nothing a padded strapless bra couldn't fix. One odd thing was that the 40 dress didn't have the shown sash. I thought I could take the one off the 42 dress but it's actually sewn into the sides of the dress. The dress is very flattering on top but I had to wear Spanx to cinch in my mid-section. I received many compliments on the dress throughout the evening!

I rented this dress for a party but ending up wearing my backup which was more appropriate for the occasion. But I liked this dress so much that I wanted an excuse to wear it! I dressed it down with a denim jacket and flip flops and wore it while doing errands on a beautiful summer day! The neckline does plunge but there was already a safety pin from a previous renter so that helped make it more day-appropriate. The hem tended to ride up on me when I sat down but it wasn't a big deal since I was standing/walking most of the day. Such a comfortable dress!

One of my favorite rentals so far! I wore this for "formal night" on a cruise. I rented the XS and S and could barely fit into the XS. It took a little finagling to keep the lining on the right side to stay hidden but otherwise the S fit perfectly! I love how the material draped and moved and how comfortable it was. My boyfriend said he saw quite a few women on the ship checking out my dress. I'd definitely consider renting this again!
