Naughty but nice, if you like that kind of thing
Stretchy, yet concealing all the right bits. The keyhole does stretch and give depending on how much you pull on the skirt & top. Beware if cleavage isn't your thing, because this dress definitely shows off the girls and your derrière with its clingy nature. Have fun!

Night at the symphony, perfect
Perfect blend of sultry and class, just what I wanted for a date night with my husband to a jazzy symphony performance. Hugs all the right curves and helps skim over those you don't want to highlight.

Felt professional yet sexy.
The fit is forgiving and figure hugging in all the best ways. Rent it!

Wore to a Christmas event
It was a nice, professional dress that was helped by some fun sleeves and the zipper for the bust.

Fun dress, but watch out
I didn't end up wearing this dress to my event as the arms were very tight (I do lift, so it isn't a total surprise) and it was very short and not much stretch to the fabric.

Elegant fit and color
Loved the way this dress fit. Figure hugging, but not overly so. I did wear the spanx (but I wear them frequently, because that's who I am.) It was a cold, snowy night here in Colorado, so I wore them with calf-height, slouchy black suede boots and it looked great.

Unique and warm
Loved this sweater. I got it new, and that was fun. Wore it only about 4 times and recieved many compliments. The lacing is a really interesting detail. It was really lovely and warm. It is a bit boxy and the only real issue with it is that it pills quite easily. Otherwise, I was really tempted to purchase, but didn't in the end because I think I would want to purchase a smaller size.

Fashionable and sophisticated
This bag is great. Not a huge, sloppy tote bag--which is what made me rent it. I am thinking of purchasing a taller, more compact tote to stop schlepping a gigantic, heavy bag around and killing my back. This one was great and the clip-off pouch that comes with it, are really nice. I liked it a lot. But not enough to purchase. I think I need something a tiny bit bigger with a shoulder strap to hold it lower on my long torso. I fit my wallet, small laptop, a folder and random bits in with no problems. I did love that the compact size was so much more clean and modern of a silhouette.

I wore this dress about 4 times. Most notably, to a children's museum fundraiser.
The fit was a little funky with this one. It really does tie to one side of your hip and the tighter you tie it, the less "pouchy" the tummy part gets--however, it also tightens up the booty area. Just something to be aware of. It can dramatically affect the way you wear it. Otherwise, it was really cute and I got lots of compliments.

Husband birthday party with family-great dress!
I wore this for my husbands birthday party with our family and it was perfect. Simple, pretty and fairly demure. The slit in the skirt does help jazz it up and I wore large, sparkly earrings with my hair in a low chignon. Great dress that you don't have to worry about anything being "too much" but you will still look beautiful.

Very pretty, girls with larger rib cage/breasts-size up!
I wore this for our day-after wedding brunch and it was perfect. I will say that the band under the breasts does NOT give at all, so if you are above a 34/35 inch rib-cage--size up! I had to have my husband help zip me into the dress while I lifted my breasts up so I could fit in! However, once that was done, I got "situated" in the dress and it was great! I'm sad I don't have any photos of myself in the dress, but having just had a day where my every moment was documented--it was better to just enjoy and not be worried where the camera was! Rent this and you won't be disappointed!

Don't hesitate, rent this shrug!
Love this soft, warm, luxurious shrug! It was a last minute add to my wedding day when we finally figured out that the day was going to be pretty chilly. I was afraid it wouldn't "go" with my vision--but I was proved wrong the moment I slipped it on. I am a tall, broad-shouldered woman and I was terrified it would be a "fat-guy-in-a-little-coat" situation, but it was PERFECT. I got so many complements, my husband and guests couldn't stop touching it and remarking on its softness and how it complemented my dress and the day. Love it and the RTR staff for getting it to me so quickly and taking care of me for the big day!
