Beautiful, fun and comfortable
This was a great choice for a funky fall wedding. The lining of the dress is nicely made and kept me super comfortable. Its a flattering fit and a beautiful color. Would easily rent again!

Odd fit in the bust area
This dress is an absolutely beautiful fabric and a good length for me. However, I couldn't wear it due to the odd fit in the bust area. It gaped too much in the front so that anyone taller than me would have seen right down the top. Tried to secure it a bit with fashion tape, but because of the heavier and more structured nature of the fabric, it didn't work out. Sad it didn't work out, it really is gorgeous.

Just wasn't the right fit for my body
This dress is BEAUTIFUL. The fabric and embroidery are stunning. The fit just didn't work for my body type, unfortunately. While the waist and skirt were very fitted, the shoulders were so broad that the dress simply fell to the sides up top on me. Thanks to RTR's excellent customer service, another dress was sent to me that I wound up adoring, so it all worked in the end!

Probably the best dress I've ever rented from RTR!
I received this dress as a back up when my original choice didn't fit, and I'm so glad this was my panic-choice! This dress was gorgeous, well-made, comfortable and flattering. The blue with black thick lace overlay was lovely, and the side cutouts weren't too revealing, making it just a little sexy. Bonus points for being able to wear a nude bra with it. I did a LOT of dancing in this dress and felt comfortable the whole time. My husband was wowed and asked if I could keep it.

Very comfortable, well made dress.
Wore this dress to an Alice in Wonderland themed gala fundraiser in late January. Was very comfortable and flattering. As a bustier gal, I'm usually hesitant about strapless gowns, but I felt great in this all night. Fabric and structure was good enough that there was no need to wear a bra with it. Hem line gives it interest without being too over the top.

Nice material, well constructed.
So, I tried on this dress in store in a 4 and ordered it prior to the holidays. Thank god I got the next size up as a backup, because Thanksgiving and Christmas were not kind to my waistline. The six was definitely tight, but that's my own fault. Its still a nicely made, figure-flattering dress. Wore for a New Year's Eve wedding. The side cut outs were small and subtle enough to be just a flash of skin, nothing too revealing. Very flattering color. Only (minor) flaw was a few loose threads along the back seam.

Great dress that will stand out in a crowd.
I rented this for a fun but formal work event and paired with a black blazer since the event was outdoors. Fabric had great weight and structure so the origami style folds remained crisp and clean. Color was brighter in person- which I loved! Was very easy to move around in. Unfortunately I was so busy for this event I didn't get a single photo.

Spectacular dress
If you are considering renting this dress, order it now! I wore this to a gala that had a "Mad Max" theme (awesome, right?) and got dozens of compliments. It was comfortable, flattering, and stunning. I was a bit hesitant to order it, as my style is typically a bit less edgy, and I was worried about how tight it appeared. However, the fabric has great thickness and stretch to it so it doesn't look cheap or tacky. And as someone with a larger bust, it was glorious wearing a regular bra and still looking good! I'm really bummed that I don't have any photos of myself in the dress- was having too much fun at the event to think about it!

The color is a knockout.
This dress was a hit at a black tie event. I was pretty hesitant about wearing such a bold color, but I'm glad I made the leap. The color really stood out, while the shape was simple with nice clean lines. Its a nice thicker fabric, and the length was just right for me with 3 inch heels. No tripping over the hem! Runs fairly small in the bust.

Very satisfied
Nice stack of bracelets, can go with a variety of outfits. Wore for a formal event where they added some sparkle, but weren't too overwhelming.

Perfect gown for my event.
Very easy to wear, great to dance in gown! Wore for a party that had a future/sci-fi theme and got compliments all night. Wish I had a better photo to share. The built in bra/corset was comfortable and provided support, so that even with a larger bust, I felt fine without a strapless bra. Only negative was that it seems like when the dress was cleaned after returning from its previous renter, the lining stretched so it wasn't a very nice, clean hem along the bottom of the gown.
