Great clutch
This clutch is really quite spacious. I do wish it had a chain tucked inside though. Still loved it.

Perfect pairing
Getting statement jewelry from RTR is my new favorite thing. I can keep my everyday pearls stowed and get some fun pieces for events. These were perfectly paired with a black gown.

Classy and curve hugging
This dress did not disappoint. I wore it to an international wedding in early fall and it was classy and understated. The dress has "stretchy" with give in the hips, making it each to walk and dance in. There is an understated sheer detail on the back that was a nice touch. While I was disappointed one of the sizes ended up being unavailable the day before in needed the dress, the size shipped ended up working out just fine.

Understated yet formal
This was a classically beautiful dress. Perfect for most formal events. The fabric is thick so fall weather might be ideal. It could be uncomfortable for summer outdoor affairs. The hem is unfinished but it didn't detract from the look. Just an FYI.

Gorgeous and wanted to keep!
This was an awesome skirt (with pockets no less). A tad large in the waist, but not complaining. Paired it with a white t shirt and work to a casual work event. It has an amazing flutter when you twirl, so clearly ideal for dancing. Would rent again and would consider buying!

If I wasn't feeling particular old in a crop top, this would have been perfect for the concert I intended to wear it to. Still for the pants!

Perfect wedding accent
I rented these for my own wedding and was so pleased. So much better than buying expensive "costume" jewelry I'd like never wear again. Perfect amount of bling for my simple dress but still understated enough to compliment my silhouette.

Beautiful
Loved the look. However, not great for sitting. Ideal for cocktails/appetizers/standing and milling around. I wore to a cocktail party and then on to a theater event and the slits leave you completely exposed. Bad planning on my part.

Gaps in the bust
I did not end up wearing this. I looked washed out with my lighter skin in the early Spring and it was gapped quite a bit in the bust--needs tap or larger bust for sure. The fabric and detailing felt kind of itchy too. Really pretty though.

Perfect fit and cut
Worn for a late March wedding in the mountains. The sleeves, color, and cut were everything. Hugged all the curves in all the right places. Loved it!

Perfect Spring Dress
I rented this for my bachelorette party, and it was lovely. Has pockets too! The 6 fit a little tight (and had a tear underneath the bow on the chest), and because I was wearing on a plane, I opted for more comfort with the 8. Very flattering and perfect for spring. Paired with brown sandals.

Not flattering for curvy women
I did not wear this. It's cute on the model, who is skinny with little curves. It did nothing for my figure, and I've got a good athletic build with hella curves. I looked like a blob.

Flattering!
The 8 fit but just for comfort in the heat, I work the 10. This did not ride up as some rompers can. The ruffles on the bottom of the shorts were adorable. Lots of compliments; people thought it was a cute dress.

Not flattering
I did not end up wearing this dress. It was overall baggy and itchy, and my fiance told me I looked like it was wearing a kimono. Just not cute at all on.

Really made the dress.
I added this to the juxtapose dress for my office holiday party. The gold is subtle so it didn't clash with my other silver jewelry. Also, it's so nice to be able to rent statement jewelry that you'll only wear once. While this was classy and could work well with many outfits, I don't wear statement pieces often so the option to rent was great.

This dress is very classy and sophisticated. I wore it to my office holiday party.
I loved the look and fit. The only con is that it's deceptively tighter in the hips. I'm curvy with a small waist and this hugged my hips a tad more than I expected. It still looked great but if you're worried about your hip size, you might size up.

Fall wedding--dress was a knockout
Quite a few compliments from strangers. Dress was so appropriate for he occasion with the tea length silhouette and fall colors. Order to fit your chest. I'm a 34/36 B/C. I thought it was tight on my rib cage (good to hold it up) but kinda loose at the very top with some gapping. Would rent again!

Office party
Wore to my office party which was a mix of semi formal to business casual, so a classy cocktail dress like this fit in well. The sleeves were great for a bit of modesty in light of the shorter length and very appropriate for an office gathering.

NYE dinner
Very nice for NYE dinner on cold evening. Sleeves were great and paired well with black tights. Was a bit scratchy as material is "sparkly." I expected the material to have a bit more of a "wow" factor with the glitz. Was a little underwhelming

Pockets and side slits! I could dance all night and store my phone on my person without a purse. It was surprisingly lightweight but was well made. Rent to fit your bust. Rented for a summer black tie semi-formal wedding.
