Pretty puff sleeves!
I rented this dress for a dressy “Yellowstone” 40th birthday theme. The dress is a great length and form fitting, but the ruching makes it look great in all the right places. I was going to wear tights, but then opted for bare legs and boots. Added a belt for more Western flair. I wore the small bc the medium had too much material around the middle.

Winter wedding go to!
I wore this dress for a winter wedding on top of a mountain in the snow! It was perfect for a cozy, rustic lodge setting 🌲 I usually wear a 4 but the 6 for really well.

Super comfy and easy to wear, strapless bra worked perfectly, just a tad long bc I'm 5'3" but was great with heels!

Super short
I did not end up wearing this dress. The reviews are correct, this dress is super short. I thought I could get away with it bc I'm 5'3", but it was still just too short.

Snug stunner
I wore this for a wedding and luckily I knew what I was getting into with the other reviews. It's definitely snug around the rib cage and the slip underneath was super short. Based on previous reviews I snagged some nude spandex shorts for underneath and it was perfect!

Rent this if you're on the short side!
I'm 5'3" and 120lbs and this jumpsuit fit perfectly! Adjustable straps are awesome and pockets are always a plus. The top is a bit awkward, but I think you're just supposed to wear it up all the way.

Perfect for short girls!
This romper was really comfortable and I loved the pockets! The only problem I had was that the top button wouldn't stay buttoned, but other than that it was perfect for a day at the wineries!

Dazzling, just rent it!
This dress hugged every curve perfectly and was not itchy at all the way sequins can be sometimes! Wore this for a Casino Royale party and it was perfection, LOVED this dress!

Beautiful details!
Rented this dress for a chilly outdoor Fall wedding. The fit was perfect and it was very comfy. The elastic waist did ride up a little, but not a huge deal. I loved the velvet detail along the neck and sleeves!

Lady in red!
I wore this dress to a winter wedding and it was perfect! I loved the thick fabric and structured fit of the dress. Plus pockets!! I also loved how you can adjust the ruffles at the chest to your desired placement. SO many compliments throughout the night and a very comfortable dress to dance in. RTR does it again!

Perfect for Fall
I rented this for my free b-day rental, just for work and it was great! Such a comfy shirt, I ended up tucking in the front since it is a little boxy. I paired it aqua leather tassel earrings for a boho look, would definitely Rent again!

Super comfortable!
I wore this for a rehearsal dinner in Southern California. The 4 and 6 both fit, but the 6 was just more comfortable. The shorts were a good length, not too short and the cold shoulders add to the cuteness. It was a very flattering romper, I loved it!

Sooo sparkly!
These earrings are gorgeous, I received many compliments! They are ear jackets though, and they are a tad heavy to remain in the upright jacket position without having to adjust them periodically. I'd definitely rent again though!

This gorgeous jumpsuit fit true to size. The adjustable straps were great and it fit really well with a strapless bra. I'm 5'3" and the crop pants were just right. I wore this out to a nice dinner and a concert. It was effortlessly chic and I got so many compliments! Definitely recommend :)

Perfect "gown" for short girls!
This dress just might be my favorite rental yet! I received SO many compliments at the wedding. I read all the reviews and ordered a 2 and a 0, but found that I should've stuck with my usual 2 and 4. Luckily the awesome RTR staff was able to send me a size 4 to my hotel room. The structured fit was great and stayed in place for the whole night of dancing. I highly reccommend this dress, especially if you're short and looking for a more formal dress!

Classy and comfy!
I wore this dress to my brother in law's wedding in Boise. This dress was so comfortable and flattering! Both the 2 and 4 fit, but I went with the 4 since I knew I'd be chasing children around. The fabric is gorgeous and structured and the pockets were perfect for my phone and lipstick. I'd definitely recommend this dress!

Runs very large
I was sad that I wasn't able to wear this dress. I rented it for an outdoor music festival because it was flowy and the temps were in the 90's. It was just WAY too big. I like wearing shift dresses, and realize they're meant to be loose fitting, but this was tent like on me, even with an xs. The arm holes were so big that a lot of my bra was showing when I tried it on. Bummed it didn't work out.

This dress was perfection for an early fall outdoor wedding! It was really comfortable and easy to wear with a strapless bra. Good length too because I am short. I'd definitely rent this again!

Stunning studs!
These earrings added the perfect amount of sparkle to my outfit. I actually had to wear them in my 2nd earring holes for for them to fit and look right, but they were very comfortable and not heavy at all!

Loved the back!
This dress fit a little snug in the waist but it wasn't uncomfortable. The back is stunning and I got many compliments throughout the night. My daughter was a flower girl in the wedding and I fit so many snacks and little toys in the pockets of this dress which was a huge bonus!

Bachelorette party perfection!
I wore this dress for a bachelorette party and got so many compliments! Fits true to size and I didn't notice any scratching of sequins on my arms at all. Easy to wear with racer back bra. Would definitely rent again!

Light and summery!
This dress was so pretty and lightweight, perfect for a summer wedding! I paired it with taupe canvas wedges and received many compliments from other guests. Very comfortable and worked well with just a racer back bra. Loved this dress!

Classic and comfortable!
This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding in Chicago. I'm from Oregon and rented the 4 and the 2. The 4 was slightly big and long, the 2 fit well but was too short. Luckily there was a RTR store in Chicago right next to our hotel so I brought in my dresses and they had me try the 4 Petite which fit PERFECTLY! Awesome customer service. I got soooo many compliments the whole night!

Gorgeous dress, amazing fit!
I rented this dress for a pre-wedding dinner/cocktail boat cruise in Chicago. The dress is true to size, however, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone over 5'5" because it is quite short. The fabric is thick and sturdy which was great for an evening boat ride up the river and out on windy Lake Michigan. I got a lot of compliments on this dress, the color is gorgeous and it was a very comfortable fit!
