Great Color and Fabric!
The fabric on this was top-notch, just the right weight so it hung nicely. It's a lovely olive green, a bit darker than the pictures depict. I docked it a star because it only had the one belt to secure the whole wrap dress - like a housecoat! Usually wrap dresses have an inside tie to secure the "flap", but this one didn't. I had to keep re-tying it, but it wasn't too bothersome.

Cute and Flirty Dress!
Stretchy and form fitting! I loved the kicked out hem and fun checkered pattern. A great little dress for the anniversary party we attended. I would rent again!

Pretty off-the-shoulder dress
This isn't a color I would normally wear (the joys of renting!), but I think the soft color would be nice on everyone. The fabric was heavier than I thought, and felt high quality. The only downside was that I couldn't wear a bra (I didn't pack a strapless bra, which is what you'd need for this dress), and also the sleeves were very very long. Overall it was a nice dress.

Pretty color!
I didn't have the right body type for this dress and didn't end up wearing it. I'm short with no hips and so it was much too wide on the bottom, and too tight across my ribcage (even though it gaped at the neckline). It was long, so the flared fabric on the bottom swung awkwardly near my ankles. It was a pretty color but didn't work on me at all.

Sophisticated dress with a fun hemline!
This actually wasn't my first choice, but in the end it was probably a better dress for me. I'm 5"1' so the length was perfect - short enough to be flirty, but long enough to sit down without exposing anything. It's a nice, stretchy fabric, and more sparkly than it looks in the pictures. Overall a lovely rental.

On-trend dress, but the sleeves were a hassle!
While this dress is on-trend and comfy, I didn't like much else about it. It was quite large on me, and looked sloppy - I tried belting but that just didn't work. The sleeves drove me nuts, constantly in the way. In fact, the previous wearer must have had issues too, because the sleeves were stained when I got the dress. Between the overwhelming size of the dress and the sleeves, I felt like I was playing dress-up in someone else's clothes, and I wouldn't rent this one again. But the beauty of renting is that I didn't buy it, so I'll happily return it and seek out the next fun dress - thanks RTR!

Elegant dress in this season's color!
I must have been the first one to rent this, the tag was still on! I adored the violet color of this dress, and the length was perfect on me (I'm 5'1"). The neckline was unique, but the the fabric has no stretch, so the off-the-shoulder sleeve was actually pretty restrictive. I couldn't lift my arm above shoulder height, so that's what I docked it a star. And because the fabric had no give, it was also tight in my bust. It was lovely dress and I got compliments all night.

Pretty top in a rich color
I wore this for an everyday look with jeans and mules. I found the length just right, but I'm only 5'1", so I can see how other reviewers would find it short. I also liked the sleeve length, sometimes the bell sleeves get into everything, but I had no issues. The color was deep and rich, and the fabric draped nicely, not to clingy and not too loose.

Lovely knit sweater with interesting back.
Sadly, I didn't get a chance to wear this piece. I did try it on, and the fit was very flattering, though it was lower cut than I thought it would be. It wasn't as vibrant blue as it is pictured, and was quite worn, hence the 4* instead of 5*. I do have it saved in my favorites and plan to try it again.

Flattering winter dress!
I'm only 5'1" and this dress was perfect length on me. I wore to see the Hamilton matinee in Chicago, and paired it with leggings, so it was warm but still looking elegant and put together. I would rent again!

What a Striking color!
I'm quite short - only 5'1" - so I always have to rent the petite options. Unfortunately the 2P wasn't available, but the 4P was, so I order that. The 2P would have been a better fit, however the 4P was fine, and didn't slip down. I still found it a bit long and had to hike it up as I walked, but that's the story of being short. The color was fantastic, and it photographed beautifully.

Light and lovely!
The cone shapes are actually cut in half so these are much lighter than they appear. They catch the light nicely and look great with everything!

Love the color! Fast and easy rental!
I ultimately wore the size 4 since the size 2 did not fit my bust. The color was lovely - a deeply saturated sapphire. The fabric was more textured than I expected, but nice. Length was great for me, though I'm short. I would've rated in higher but I found the fabric in the midsection ungainly and a bit unflattering.

Unique details made this dress a stand-out!
I wore this cute dress to a White Party and loved the cut-out shoulders and interesting texture. I added a black ribbon-belt and it made a simple white dress really unique! A few comments: as many have mentioned, this dress has plenty of stretch and contours to the figure perfectly. I didn't find the shoulders too tight but it was challenging to find a bra that didn't show straps thru the cut-outs (ended up with a strapless). Lastly, the fabric is especially thick so it was a bit warm for an afternoon event in Florida (it was unusually warm though, over 80F!)

Pretty dress, but didn't work for my body :(
I thought this lovely dress would be ideal for a White Party in the Botanical Gardens. Sadly it was much too long on me (only 5' tall). Also the fabric had no give so I couldn't zip it up around my bust and the waistline looked out of proportion. Though I didn't wear it for the function, I can say that it is well-made and the details make this dress far prettier in person than in the pictures.

Perfect punch of color against my gown! It was much larger instead than I expected so I was able to take extra lipsticks, my phone and more! Highly recommend - I will go out and buy this!

This elegant and flowing gown was perfect for my "Year of the Dragon" event!
My event was during Hurricane Sandy and RTR was amazing in keeping me up-to-date on where my dress was. My backup size didn't arrive but it didn't matter as the 2 fit perfectly. The dress ran very long on me (5'1"), however it flowed so nicely that it didn't look too odd. The interior construct of the dress was astonishing - the bust piece zipped up separately so I didn't need a bra and the everything stayed in place nicely. Lots of details on the dress that you don't see in the pics - truly a lovely and unique dress!
