Gorgeous!
This dress is amazing! The blue pops really nicely whenever the light hits. The sequins do make this dress heavy and thick which was good for me since I'm always cold. The dress length is modest and elegant yet the neckline adds some sexiness. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Beautiful dress but showing some wear and tear
I love this style of dress. If the dress was in perfect condition, I would give it 5 stars. The lace was really pretty and had enough stretch to make moving comfortable. This was the first dress I've rented from RTR that had very noticeable wear and tear. The ribbon belt was missing. Also, the lace has shrunk considerably, and the underlining hangs out. I had to pin it under by 2 inches. This also makes it difficult when knowing to order a long or regular. In general, I wear regular length even though I'm 5'8" with heels. Due to this dress having shrunk, I could have worn the long. The underlining was also torn along the side seem. The lace had several areas with loose strings. All in all, I liked this dress, but think it may be time to retire this from the rental rotation.

Beautiful, elegant, and comfortable
I wore this dress to the French Embassy's Beaujolais Nouveau party. Because this event is in late November, I wanted a dress that had sleeves but was still elegant and not too heavy. I loved this dress. It was elegant and a step beyond the typical LBD. The under layer is actually navy, not black. In the size 6 I received, the navy underlining hung lower than the lace in a couple places but wasn't obvious against my black tights. The lace wasn't scratchy and the sleeves had enough give to be comfortable. In addition to my black tights, I wore simple black pumps and silver jewelry. To add some color, I carried a red handbag.

Elegant LBD
I rented this dress for an Annual Awards Dinner for a DC NPO. For a cocktail reception, it was a great choice. The fabric was not too heavy and the brocade pattern added interest. There were several pulled threads in the fabric, but they were not very noticeable. The band at the waist helped create shape, and I received several compliments all evening. To punch up the outfit, I wore red heels and gold jewelry.

Frilly and Fun
I rented this for le Diner en Blanc (an elegant, all white dinner party that is half flash mob half French picnic) First of all, the dress is off white, but that ended up ok at the event. I liked this dress a lot and felt it had a great Parisian feel with the lace, off-the-shoulder sleeves. I felt feminine and pretty all night. For DEB, there is a lot of carrying items to a secret location. I appreciated that this dress was light and not stiff since it was a very hot evening, but the fabric doesn't stretch and there is no slit so it was difficult to take a larger step. I used my PRO birthday gift to rent this dress and a hair clip for free. All in all, this was the perfect summer party dress.

Lovely and easy to style
I rented this for le Diner en Blanc (an all white French dinner party that is half flash mob and half elegant picnic) With the event encouraging very elegant attire, I opted to rent from RTR. This was the perfect hair clip. It pinned easily into my hair and didn't obstruct my view. A couple times it clung to my eyelashes, but I mostly forgot I had it on. I loved the the flower and feathers. It added the perfect amount of flair to my outfit.

Tons of Bling
Several of the reviews discussed wearing just a couple of the bracelets. That is definitely an option. I wore these to a formal gala. I chose to wear really bold earrings and all 8 of these bangles with no necklace (I had to show some restraint) They were fun, and I received tons of compliments.

Stunning!
These are perfect for a formal event and add the perfect amount of sparkle. Because these are so large, I chose to not wear a necklace. This was my first time renting accessories form RTR. I definitely recommend it!

Gorgeous Color!
I wanted to have a dress that was not my standard black formal dress. The emerald is perfect and really stands out. I'm glad that RTR recommended getting a size up because it does run small. The rushing is flattering and helped since the fabric doesn't stretch. This was the first time I also rented accessories and was very happy with my earrings and bracelets.

Awesome if you plan to rent more than once a year
The benefits of Pro make it a huge bargain. I attend several events a year and am really happy with my RTR experience. Having shipping and insurance for the year is worth it alone. The free birthday dress makes this pay for itself with only one order.

This dress is amazing! I received countless compliments. The fabric and color photograph beautifully
I tend to wear a 4, but it was too tight across my chest. I wore the 6 which was a little loose through my waist, but was comfortable to move around in. There is a slight train that people occasionally stepped on and the trumpet fit can be awkward if you aren't used to it. As VP for a local organization, I had to be photographed often and speak on stage. This dress was elegant and luxurious without being over the top. It looks great in all lighting. RTR provided awesome service to me since my original dress was unavailable. Can't wait for my next rental!!!
