Elegant gown, but be careful of the boning
Definitely glad I sized up for this one, it fit nicely. The embroidery on the dress was really beautiful, very Audrey Hepburn vibes with the shortened length and full skirt. My one issue was the boning on the dress, which irritated my side even after wearing for only a few minutes. It might have been less of an issue if I wore spanks or something underneath.

Minimalist sophistication
The dress fit beautifully, it nicely flattered my curves, but it was too long for me. I'm 5'6.5", and with mid height heels it had a fair amount that drug behind me. I thought it detracted from the overall look of the dress, I'd recommend the regular length.

Playful and easy
This jumpsuit fit perfectly, except for the straps which were too long. They do come with two different buttons to adjust the length, but even the shortest was a little too long for me. I wore it with a denim jacket and gold hoop earrings, would definitely rent again!

Beautiful color, but not for me.
I could not for the life of me get the lining to lay smoothly on the bodice of this dress (probably a combo of being snug and my shorter torso), so I didn't end up wearing it. It did make my cleavage look awesome, though. I also wish the dress had a zipper, instead of being a pull over.

Elegant and feminine
Overall, this was a nice rental and I got a lot of compliments on the dress. I love the navy/black, unique wrap, and full skirt. Unfortunately the top was too big, so I had to use the fashion tape on my chest and under my arm. This dress might be better suited to someone with a bigger chest. I paired it with nude heels, a colorful clutch, and statement earrings. Won't rent again, but I did enjoy wearing the dress.

Conversation Piece
I absolutely loved this jacket. I rented for music shows during SXSW, and in a sea of denim jackets this beauty turned heads. Compliments right and left. The sleeves were a little long, but a single roll of the cuff was all that was needed. The colors are vibrant during the day, somewhat less so after dark but still very unique and fun.

Camo that Sticks Out!
I wore this for SXSW; as far as jackets go - it was not warm, it was huge, but it was SO COOL. Paired with a cropped graphic tee, leggings, sneakers, and gold hoops. Got lots of compliments. Recommended for renting when you'll be indoors or it won't be very cold out.

Luxe and sexy
Cool concept for a dress but I felt like the dress was wearing me, instead of vice versa. Overall fit was TTS except the sleeves, which were a bit too long. I did feel nervous about the dress staying closed, as it had only two snaps to keep it secure - the tie seemed more aesthetic than functional.

Va-va-VOOOOOM
This dress was a last minute pick after UPS lost my original rental, and I was super pleased with how it turned out. This dress is superb, the cut and heavy material hugged all the right places. The straps were not too long at all. I felt very old-school Vegas, and would happily rent again!

Loved this jumpsuit!
I felt incredible in this jumpsuit. It's super chic and turned lots of heads in Las Vegas. The top was a little big for me, but a couple pieces of fashion tape kept the garment right how I wanted it. The length was great, a mid-height heel was perfect so I could walk and dance all night.

Beautiful color and cut
I got compliments out the wazoo in this dress. It is phenomenally made, the cut made my curves look amazing. Only downside was that I probably needed an 8 in this dress, but they did not have the size available. The 6 was very snug, but I think the neckline and slit drew enough attention away from the midsection that it was fine.

So elegant, this may be my favorite rental to date!
I wore this dress to a symphony performance and after party. I sometimes have trouble getting fitted dresses to work for both my bust and hips, as I'm pear shape; however, no struggle with this one! Slid right on and hugged everything perfectly. It seems very well made and I had no issues with wrinkling from the shipping. Only note of caution is that the bottom of the dress is narrow, so walking up and down stairs I noticed my range of motion was restricted. Not a fatal flaw by any means. I highly recommend this dress!

Beautiful, classic dress
Cannot say enough good things about this dress. The neckline was unique and beautiful, the fit hit perfectly at my natural waist, boning in the bodice kept you comfortably secure without the need for nubra, the length was flattering, the fabric shipped well without wrinkles and had nice texture from the lace. I wore the dress with nude pumps and a metallic clutch that complimented the silver accents in the material. The compliments poured in, would happily rent again!

Sleek dress that carves major curves
This dress caught my eye before it had reviews, so it was a shot in the dark on sizing. I tried the 6 and the 8, the 8 fit my hips pretty snugly but my chest was SWIMMING in the bodice. So I tried the 6 (I squeezed in like a sausage w/ Spanx) and the top fit considerably better but not perfect. On the bright side, the color and design of the dress are slimming and draw the eye upwards, so at least I didn't LOOK poured in and got lots of compliments. It helped make the ordeal worthwhile. I wore Kendra Scott's Bevin earrings, red lipstick, and strappy black heels. Overall it was a very sexy ensemble that I felt good wearing, but its probably better suited to those who are more blessed in the chest with slimmer hips.

Steal of a deal
I had been drooling over this necklace, which is featured with the jumpsuit I rented. Couldn't scrap up $60 to rent it and I suck at accessorizing, so opted for the mystery bling. And those stylists killed it, and sent me the beautiful necklace I had given up on getting to wear! Thanks RTR!!
Beautiful statement piece
Got a ton of compliments on this one! Really nicely made, I loved the uniqueness of the stones and felt like it made the necklace stand out in comparison the sparkly statement necklaces you normally see. The only minor irritation was that it kept sliding down my chest instead of laying higher across my collarbone.

Effortless and chic jumpsuit
I really enjoyed this rental. The material kept me cool and comfortable at a hot, outdoor wedding, and I got lots of compliments on it. The 6L was a little too long, but the 6R was way too short. Ended up in the 6L with some higher heels than I normally would wear, but it worked out. The top of the jumpsuit gaped a bit where it wraps across the chest. Everything else fit great. Also I would recommend Spanx, the bottom half is unlined and your no-show undies will definitely show!

Sophisticated Jumpsuit Really Wowed
This rental was one of my favorites that I've done. The cut was slimming and didn't make me look too hip-y. I loved the deep slit in the back as well, definitely upped the sexy-factor to have that little peek-a-boo of skin. The jumpsuit fit me a little big at the waist and bust, which caused the pleated front of the bottom to pooch. Luckily this was solved with a couple of safety pins around the waist (which were conveniently hidden by the overlap top), and it fit perfectly. This dress was comfortable, elegant, and unique. I got tons of compliments at the party, would definitely rent again!

Amazing fabric and cut!
The amazing detail of this dress wasn't really picked up on other pictures from my night, hence the trusty selfie. This dress rocked. The fabric was so soft and luxe, and the longer length and sharp design of the dress produced a look that was feminine but strong. It was fairly wrinkled when it arrived, but they came out quickly with a steamer. It was a bit long waisted to me, which cause it to bow out along the zipper if my posture started to go downhill. Was a really minor issue though. Absolutely loved this one!!!

Comfortable, fun, and versatile'
I wore this dress to two weddings on the same day, and it worked for both despite the different styles of the weddings. It's got a lot of personality, with the color/pattern and flirty cut. The 6 was too large up top, so luckily I had the 4 was a backup. Really enjoyed this dress, and I got tons of compliments on it throughout the day/night!!

Great cut and fabric, I loved this dress!
This dress was beautiful, it garnered lots of compliments. I wore the 2, and it was still a little large on top, but it was definitely manageable. The dress was a little wrinkled when it arrived, however a quick steam made it perfect! An additional plus, the fabric was super soft. I was sad to send this one back!

Sophisticated and very pretty!
This dress skimmed and hugged all the right places, it was an understated va-va-voom! The side ruching was very well done. I wore a normal strapless bra and didn't need any spanx with the medium. The neckline was my absolute favorite, very beautiful and unique without showing too much. Also, the color popped wonderfully against a sea of sequins and LBD's on NYE, it definitely got the attention it deserved. Loved it!

These earrings were perfect for NYE. I wore them all night and they were neither heavy nor irritating to my skin. The bottom stone appeared to be an uncut version of the top stone, and the pairing was beautiful. Recommended!

Great fit, lots of sparkle
I got this dress for Halloween, and styled it based off one of RTR's costumes they had promoted. The way the light hit the sequins made it possible to pull off gold, silver, and black accessories with none looking out of place. The 4 fit me like a glove, the 6 was a bit too big in the bust. The length was great, didn't show too much but was still short enough to be flirty. It also fit my lower half more snugly than shown on the model. Got lots of compliments and turned heads in this one, definitely recommended!

Sparkly and fun!!
I am not usually one for costume jewelry, but I loved these! They are chic and polished without looking stuffy. I get nervous renting earrings because my ears are sensitive, but thankfully I didn't have an issue from the metal. Also, they are on the bigger side, so they are a little bit heavy (but not too bad).

Beautiful and effortless, thanks RTR!
I love this dress! It is unique without screaming for attention, and pretty without sweet ruffly, lacy details. Strong and feminine are good descriptors. Definitely recommended. The sleeve was shorter than shown on the model, but it wasn't a problem to me. I didn't even try on the 6, the 4 was roomy enough over my hips (and the 6 would've been way too big in the bust). The fabric didn't wrinkle from sitting during the ceremony or reception, and it was very comfortable. I paired it with nude heels and a silver bag from my own closet.

Sophisticated and elegant. Totally loved it!
I got this dress for an office holiday party, and it was PERFECT. It hit right above my knees, like where it does on the photo of the model. And the high neckline kept the one shoulder style professional. I got so many compliments and felt like a million bucks all night.
