lightweight and dreamy
This was not my favorite rental, but I received so many compliments. It's very light and comfortable. It was pretty tight around my ribcage so I would suggest sizing up. The belt that came with it looked great but I couldn't breathe with it on, so I decided not to wear it. The slit is high enough to be sexy but not so high that I felt inappropriate at a formal work event. The length was a little short, but perfect with 2 inch heels. I'm only 5'4" so it was fine. Just something to consider if you're taller. Also, I was able to get away with not wearing a bra which is always a win in my opinion. :) Overall it was a lovely dress.

Perfect for a beach wedding!
Loved this dress and received SO many compliments. Quite possibly the most compliments I've ever received for a dress, in fact. The colors are bright and fun. There's not a lot of give in the waist, but overall it was very comfortable. The material is light and flowy. As others have said, it is shorter than a typical maxi-type dress. I'm 5'4" and wore sandals -- I think heels would have looked awkward with the length (hit right around my ankles). I didn't wear a bra even though I'm a bit busty (34C) and felt comfortable. It's tight enough to provide a decent amount of support up top. Would absolutely rent again.

Sexy, yet classy, and very flattering.
I loved this dress. I would definitely rent it again. I was worried about the slit since many reviews said it was too high for their taste, but that was not the case for me. I wore this to a formal work event and did not feel like it was too provocative or revealing. It hugs your curves in all the right places. The material is quite thick/heavy, but it did not feel restricting. The length was perfect too. I am 5'4" and wore 3 inch heels and the length was right where it needed to be.

So flattering. Wish I owned it!
I loved this dress. It was comfortable, easy to dance in, sexy but tasteful, and very flattering. I got so many compliments. I would rent it again in a heartbeat. The material is very forgiving. The keyhole in the back is so sexy, too. One of my favorite rentals.

Gorgeous dress, very flattering and comfortable. Def size down!
Pros: Just about everything. Cons: Runs big, but that can be avoided if you size down. Fit: Definitely size down. I ordered a 4R and then a 2R for my backup size (I typically wear a size 4) and ended up wearing the 2R. I could have definitely worn the 0R, which I never in a million years would have guessed. I haven't worn a size 0 since, like, middle school. So that was wild. The difference in size between the 2R and 4R was minimal. I called RTR about swapping out for a 0R, but it wasn't available so I went with the 2R (that's how much I liked the dress and refused to wear anything else). The dress has a good amount of stretch and is very forgiving. Comfort: Super soft, lightweight, and comfortable. One of the most comfortable dresses I've worn. The way it flows when you walk is absolutely gorgeous too. Color: As pictured TL;DR: This dress is amazing and I wish I owned it. And definitely size down!

Weird fit that simply did not look good on me.
Pros: Nice quality, pretty color Cons: Fit. It was not flattering on me at all and I ended up not wearing it. It was weirdly baggy, but there is no way I could have worn a smaller size. Might be better for someone with more of a pear shape.

Nice, but nothing exceptional.
Wore this for my bachelorette party. You definitely need fashion tape for this dress, but I liked being able to determine how much skin to show. Nice material. Tight fitting on the bottom but looser up top, which is nice if you are looking for something a bit more flattering around the midsection. It was rather short as well, which worked for my party but might not be best for another event. I could have worn the small but went with the medium for a little more length. A nice, basic dress but nothing exceptional.

Love it, can be dressed up or down.
Love this romper! It was very flattering, especially if you're not crazy about your middle section. Perfect for showing off legs. Could easily be dressed up or down. Love the color too.

Great dress for a more conservative event.
I rented this for my engagement party. It's a very pretty dress, great quality, but too conservative for my taste. I would have liked it to have been a bit more form fitting, but a smaller size would not have worked. It's just the cut of the dress. Definitely recommend this for a more conservative affair, like a baptism or meeting the parents etc.

Shows everything
This is a great dress, just not for me. The material is quite thick, but it didn't hold me in the way I was hoping. It did, however, squish my butt in...which is not what I would want. It made my butt look really weird. Overall, it just looked awful on me. Maybe Spanx would have helped, I'm not sure. I returned it for a different dress.

This was my first RTR experience and it was a great one. I think I might be hooked now. :)
Thank goodness for the extra size because the dress that came in the size I normally wear, a 4, looked soooo small that I didn't even bother to try it on. It looked like a size 2 or even a 0 to me. I knew it wouldn't work. The size 6, on the other hand, fit perfectly. It was form fitting but not in a way that was uncomfortable. I could breathe and move around, but I got so many compliments. I was sad to return it. Like others said, the slip is slightly longer than the sequined part of the dress, but I thought it looked nice. It was clearly designed to be that way. Overall, sad to have to return this!
