Work Christmas party
Perfect fit for a work Christmas party. Got so many compliments and felt amazing! The bodice is very rigid so it might “dig in” when you are sitting down, but it looked fantastic. Would love the opportunity to buy it!

My boobs were squished
Wore this to a Carrie underwood concert. It was pretty nice, but very tight up top - I am a F cup and felt like my boobs were smushed - despite seeming like a stretchy material. In general, it was slowly and comfortable.

Loved it! Felt super sexy and my fiancée couldn't take his eyes off me
I rented this for my fiancée's birthday dinner and both he and I LOVED IT! It can be very difficult to find a dress that is both sexy and classy without looking cheap/slutty - and this does the trick! I've worn this brand before (the Chiara Boni) and had a really positive experience - this was also a very positive experience! The fit of this dress is great - it has the feel of a bandage dress without making it impossible to breath and also nicely shows the "girls" with the v-neck at the top. It's a nice length and I didn't have to worry about it riding up or having to pull it down frequently! The only issue I would say that I had is that it doesn't leave much to the imagination up top... it's difficult to keep modest in the way that the dress is cut. That being said - I wore it knowing this and specifically for my fiancées birthday; needless to say he LOVED IT and asked if I could rent it for our honeymoon! Already on my to do list: check!

So cute! Helped make a great Wilma Flintstone costume
I wore this dress as part of a Wilma flintstone costume - of course it did not perfectly match what she wears, but it's cold on Halloween in Boston and I didn't want to freeze. Overall the dress fit great and my fiancée loved it! I would definitely recommend sizing up because the medium really was too tight on my midsection. Also, this dress hits right below the bra strap line in the back, so wear a convertible bra!

Talk about the bling bling!
Shiny, glittery, and so so sparkly - a perfect addition to my plain all black dress. I was half expecting the glitter to fall off or shed on my clothing, but not even one speck fell off! I'm a big Kate spade fan and I thought this was a really nicely put together bag. If I can find it sold in stores, I might just get it for myself! Also, when my boyfriend and I went to get coffee after this picture was taken, a couple of middleschoolers ran up to me, told me they loved it, asked me where I got it, and then proceeded to fight with each other as to whether it was a clutch or handbag (lol). Man, if I could rewind time about 15 years, I would like totally be the coolest girl in school - too bad! HahA

My boyfriend was speechless when he saw me!
My boyfriend is a journalist and thus pretty good at using words to describe things. However, when I came out in this dress (which I wore to dinner for our 1 year anniversary), he was absolutely speechless. The dress is nicely made and shapes you well! As mentioned prior, there isn't a need for undergarments with this beauty, but I decided to wear seamless panties anyways for my own comfort. There is a built in bra that contains things quite nicely while also giving them a good lift. The material does suck you in and hides many flaws very well without feeling too tight. There wasn't a time where I felt like I couldn't breathe or eat because of it. I would say that the dress is a little long for my taste (I'm 5'6"), but perhaps the longer length of the dress makes up for its generous show off of cleavage. In all, thus dress is pretty amazing! If I could afford it, I would probably buy it - it really does look that great! As always the RTR experience was fantastic!! They are always working to make you as happy as can be and I love that about them!

Really comfy - definitely different!!
Okay, so even though they say black is slimming, this wasn't entirely the case for me. This is a very chic jumpsuit, but the top made me look a lot bigger than I am. I should have known better as a-line tops don't usually work well for my larger boobs, but I wanted to give it a try. It fit my hips well although I guess I could have sized down, also there really isn't a way to wear a bra with this (not that it shows anything up top). In all, for a bustier woman trying to look thinner, not a great choice likely. For tall and smaller busted women, give it a shot!

Definitely get PRO! Saves so much money - totally worth it!
Got pro because I realize I shop RTR too frequently to not have it! Great experience so far!

Perfect for a "meet the family" backyard luau
I wore this for my boyfriend's parents backyard luau party. It was absolutely perfect - possibly my favorite rental from RTR thus far! I'm a bigger chested woman (36DD) and this definitely kept the girls tucked away while also being flattering - I didn't even have to cover my cleavage with my hand when bending down. I would recommend a strapless bra with this! Also, I rented the petite size (all they had left) and the height was perfect for me with some flip flop sandals. I am 5'6" RTR has once again made my renting experience an incredible one! This was not my first selection, nor was it one of the ones that they sent me once my first dress was deemed unwearable due to a previous rental. I didn't like any of the dresses that they sent as a replacement (they sent 5 beautiful dresses, but they weren't right for the type of party), and when I called they were so kind to me (I felt so bad for being so picky, but when your boyfriend's parents are involved, you kind of have to be) and shipped me this dress overnight! Totally recommend renting this dress and would love to purchase it if it ever becomes available for sale!

This dress was gorgeous! Perfect for a cocktail-esk gala
The big selling point of the dress was the fact that it covered my top half very nicely. I prefer to keep the ladies (boobs) more contained and this dress did the trick. It was stylish and classy and I felt awesome in it! I choose the smaller size (6) because it fit better in the waist than the larger size (8). That being said, it was a little tight in the arms and chest area and looking back I probably should have sized up. If you are bigger chested (I'm a 36DD), I recommend going up a size. I did love the coverage I got as well as the compliments. This dress really flatters just about anyone (especially redheads), so go rock it girls!
