unique, eye-catching, elegant.
loved this cuff, and it's wide array of colors makes it suitable for all kinds of dresses. it's bling-ie enough that you don't need to wear much other jewelry, but not gaudy at all. great bracelet. i highly recommend.

LOVED this dress. easy, comfortable, chic.
i loved, Loved, LOVED this dress. i would've kept it in a heartbeat. the racerback is great, the fabric is comfortable, and the print is chic. it runs large, particularly if you have a small chest, so order down for your back-up size. i'm generally a 4--maybe a 2--in designer clothing, and the small was pretty big on me. even the xs was fairly large. but that said, i really, really loved this dress.

cute, but you have to fiddle with it.
i wanted to like this necklace more than i actually did, mostly because the shapes do not stay in place. they flip back and forth or go off-center, which left me fiddling with my necklace more than i would've otherwise liked. but if you're willing to tape it down, it's a cute statement piece.

fun, unique print. easy fabric and comfortable.
i rented the british 8 (equivalent of US 4), and it fit well. the fabric is comfortable and easy, and the print is eye-catching and unique, without being terribly loud. as i love halters, i was a big fan of this dress, and would definitely rent again or recommend.

this is a great necklace and would look good with many of the dresses here. i think it looked particularly good with the orange-ie red of this dress, but i'm sure it would be a beautiful accompaniment to any number of colors. not heavy, not gaudy. just pretty. highly recommend.

comfortable, stylish, and such a unique color -- and oh that sexy back!
this is a great romper, and one of my favorite things i've ever rented. it runs slightly large, though not as large as the rest of the reviews might suggest. i wore the 2, which fit fine, but the fabric has no give. also it's totally backless, so if you're looking for something you can wear a bra with, this one isn't for you. but it's a great romper, and not too fancy, so easy for a date. all-in-all, loved it. and such a great deal!

another dress i think is more flattering on real people than on the model... comfortable and easy!
this is a great dress! i rented it for a nice date on st. patrick's day weekend, and will likely rent it again for a holiday party. incredibly comfortable and easy, it'd flatter any silhouette that isn't super busty -- though it could theoretically be worn with a strapless bra, i wore it without one at all, which i suspect is easiest for avoiding lines. the front dips low, but is not difficult to keep closed so long as one is standing upright. but beware bending over :) all in all, a fabulous dress. highly, highly recommend. (oh, and order a size down for your backup! it definitely runs large)

beautiful, opulent, and the perfect amount of bling.
i rented this to go along with a green dress for st patrick's day, and it was absolutely perfect. it fits close to the neck and is not too big or too small -- it's perfect to wear with simple earrings to make an outfit. highly recommend! i'd rent this again in a heartbeat.

this dress earned my first ever "wow that's a sexy dress!" from a female stranger :)
i loved this dress a surprising amount, and would give it an easy five stars if the straps had been the same length -- as it was, i had to jerry rig them a bit with a safety pin and tying the straps together behind my neck. still, it looked *fabulous*. backless, lowcut, and short, it's not for the fainthearted or those who definitely need to wear a bra, but with those caveats in mind, it's probably the sexiest dress i've rented from RTR. loved it. definitely size down -- i wore the two, but could've used the zero.

i tend to prefer one eyecatching accessory when i get dressed, and this certainly fit the bill. inexpensive and complimentary to many, many cocktail dresses, it's one of my absolute favorite jewelry options at RTR. i'll no doubt rent it again many times.

sexy and unique
this is a great, comfortable romper. it runs pretty large through the body, though it's short in the torso -- i could've used a 0 to make it snugger, but it would've then probably had too short of an inseam (and i'm very short waisted!) because it's very low cut (and would be difficult to tape or pin), it may not be best for those with a fuller chest, but it's a great, sexy option for those ladies with a small bust.

fantastic! flattering cut and color.
this dress was perfect for a nice valentine's day dinner, and among the RTR dresses i'd most highly recommend. the color is sort of between a very deep coral and red, and it's the kind of dress that would be flattering on any body type. it runs sort of large, so size down -- i had plenty of room in the XS and normally wear a 2 or 4. great deal, great dress.

pretty, sparkly, though not terribly unique
i received these as mystery bling with two RTR rentals, and they went very well with both. but as someone who doesn't tend to wear a lot of silver-tone jewelry, while lovely, these wouldn't be go-to jewelry for me. but they're sparkly and eye-catching, though not necessarily particularly unique. if you're looking for sparkle without being loud, these are a good choice.

one of the rare dresses more flattering on real people than the model..
i am not much for excessive detailing on dresses or clothes, but i absolutely loved this dress, ample beading and all. i rented it for NYE, and it was sparkly and fabulously appropriate. mine arrived without the ribbon belt, but that was no problem, as i had fun accessorizing it myself. i'd rent this again in a heartbeat -- but i'm not sure if i'd recommend it for those with larger chests. it's also quite short on those with long legs, so be prepared. but i loved it! and terrifically flattering...

my favorite dress i've *ever* ordered from RTR.
this dress is just gorgeous. it's comfortable and flattering, and i absolutely wish i could keep it. i rented it for a date, and it's one of the rare dresses that i'd rent again and again -- i love it that much. it fits true to size; i wore the small, but the x-small would've fit fine, it would've just been tighter. because of the very deep v-neck and the open back, it's not possible to wear a bra with, so it's probably best for those without much of a chest. but if you're not busty, it's gorgeous. i really, really love it.

beautiful, but very large and heavy
i received these as "mystery bling" with one of my rentals, but did not end up wearing them because they are so large. i tend to wear my hair up when i'm dressed in cocktail attire, and they would have overpowered the outfit. they are, however, beautiful, and if you like large earrings, they are a great choice. they're very heavy but are clip-on, so you need not worry too much about your ears.

comfortable, stylish, and a unique, gorgeous color
i rented this for a christmas party and could not have been more pleased. i ended up thinking it looked better on me belted than it did without a belt, particularly because the dress runs large. the color is a deeply saturated pine, and the black lace is backed in nude fabric, so you really can wear any bra you want without worrying about seeing the straps. i highly recommend this dress, but suggest you order your normal size and a size smaller, or even a size and two sizes smaller. the dress runs large except for the arms, and would probably be incredibly flattering on any body type.

a great bargain for a beautiful strand of pearls
i rented these pearls and the parker "seeing ruffles" dress for a halloween catwoman costume, and i couldn't have been more pleased. the pearls are beautiful, with a lovely clasp. anytime i need a beefy pair of pearls, these will be my go-to.

sexy and comfortable and a great date dress
i rented this for a date, and it was a *huge* hit (probably because it's short in the front, tight in the butt, backless, and has a plunging neckline). i ordered both the small and medium, and though both fit fine (the fabric is very stretchy), i opted to wear the medium to give a bit more room in the shoulderblades and then belt the extra fabric -- and i'd definitely classify this dress as running on the small side. if you're busty, you may have some issues with this dress...or at the very least will need fashion tape to keep the neckline secure. but for those with small chests, it's a good pick. overall this dress is very comfortable and could be worn in a variety of situations -- i didn't look overly dressed up for my date, but could've easily gone somewhere more formal.

like the bottom half better than the top...
though this dress is a beautiful color and comfortable, i did not end up wearing it due to the fit of the upper half. i'm not at all what i'd consider "stacked" -- i'm even what i'd call flat-chested -- but this dress pulled across the chest area and the asymmetrical sleeve part hung sort of strangely. i ended up choosing another dress to wear because i didn't want to be fidgeting with the seams all night. if i had to order it again, i'd probably try a medium, though i'm not sure that the oddities of the fit were due to me having the wrong size.

much cuter on the model than on me...
i generally love mod looks and so was very excited to rent this dress (i tried the 38 and the 40), but unfortunately, neither size was flattering on me -- i didn't end up wearing it. both fit very, very small (particularly the skirt -- which is very, very tight and close fitting), and the material of the top is very thin. i was expecting to be able to blouse the top a bit, but couldn't; it really needs to be worn straight down, which wasn't flattering on me since i have no curves at all. i might've felt better in a 42, but overall, i like the other dresses i've rented much better than i liked this one.

flattering despite being totally painted on :)
i ordered the xs and the s, which fit almost exactly the same, so i wore the xs. this is an incredibly flattering dress, and i got many, many compliments. i used it for a catwoman costume on halloween and danced the night away in it -- and was comfortable the whole time! love it. recommend it to everyone. it really is flattering -- though it definitely fits snuggly.
