Versatile and Classy
I rented this jumpsuit for a one day trip to Miami from NJ at 6 month post-partum. I was super shocked that I was able to wear an 8R when my normal pre-pregnancy size was closer to 10! The fit was great and very comfortable. The pants are well-lined (I did not need spanx) and did not wrinkle during my travels. Thank you RTR, for making this new mama feel so great!

Comfortable and chic romper!
Rented this for my work holiday party held at a trendy hotel in Manhattan. I received so many compliments on this jumpsuit that was INCREDIBLY comfortable. Wore spanx underneath for shape (and warmth) because the crepe material is unlined. Was not as deep in front as on the model on me so I was able to wear a real bra. Woohoo! I am 5'8" with longer legs than torso and it perfectly at my ankle. Love, love, loved wearing this beautiful piece!

Adorable Wedding Weekend Dress
I wore this little dress for the day after my wedding for a family brunch. I received many compliments on it as the fabric and cut are very cute. The liner hem length was a bit short for my personal tastes, however. Luckily the lace overlay came to at least mid-thigh, but I was a little nervous about the hem liner all morning.

Pretty and elegant necklace
The necklace is just as pictured and very lovely, however, made the dress I rented seem too formal so I chose not to wear it. A shame that I didn't get to enjoy wearing it!

Showstopping Rehearsal Dinner Dress
The theme for my rehearsal dinner was a colorful mexican fiesta and this dress fit the bill with perfection. The color and fabric are luxurious and the hi/low hem adds a lovely dramatic flair. Love the pockets - came in handy. Fit perfectly!

Gorgeous wedding headpiece
I wanted my "something borrowed" from my favorite place, RTR, and this perfectly fit the bill. What a gorgeous and unique headpiece! It was comfortable and didn't feel heavy at all. Love how it was flexible into any shape and worked well with my simple veil.

Exactly what I wanted to wear for my bachelorette!
I was dying to wear a sexy yet classy white jumpsuit for my bachelorette party in NYC, and this fit the bill perfectly. The jumpsuit is of high quality but you still might want to wear shapewear underneath since it's white. Back is open so you have to wear adhesive bra or pasties. SO comfortable for a night of dancing and partying. LOVE this jumpsuit!

Engagement Picture Perfection
Rented this dress for my engagement pictures and it photographed so beautifully. The color is a nice vibrant shade of coral and the fitting is silky, loose and comfortable. I wore flats and the regular length was perfect for that. Was able to wear a strapless bra with this dress.

Light and Airy Beauty
I wore this for a spring baby shower in Boston and it was perfection! I could have worn the Medium but I wanted it to be looser and more comfortable. The back is surprisingly sexy and I loved how I could tighten up the straps for the perfect fit. Wore an adhesive bra since the back is open. The length was perfect to wear either flats for true maxi length or wedges for a little extra height.

Countless Compliments
The cut and design of this dress is sensational. I received so many compliments at my company holiday party that I lost count. I'm an 8 on top and a 10 on bottom and the Medium was generous enough that I could wear that even though I was planning on wearing the Large. However, I think this dress would be better suited for a larger chested woman because I was constantly pulling up on the top and felt very self conscious about it. You have to wear an adhesive bra because the back is wide open. I so wished the top had been higher instead of so low cut - it would have been perfect!

AH-MAZE-ING
Be prepared for compliments all night - I completely lost track of how many I received. The fabric/fit is so light and airy - perfect for elegant comfort. The fit is true to size and double sized/hollywood tape is needed since the cleavage is low and open. Runs long. I'm 5'8 and the regular was still long on me with 5" heels, seriously. The color is PERFECTION and it's such a unique gown, you will love it!

Gorgeous gown, but too tight in the bust/chest.
Being a B cup, I have never had an issue with a dress in my size being tight on the ribs/chest but that is exactly what happened with this one. It is INCREDIBLY small on the chest, be extremely wary of ordering if you are 34-36" and anything larger than a B cup. Do not be deceived by the photo- the fabric is absolutely divine but I could not even zip up the external zipper all the way...and could barely breathe!

Made for baby wrists
I did not end up wearing this cuff because it HURT to even attempt to put this rigid, yet beautiful cuff on my average sized wrist. It was even tough for my coworker with very thin wrists to get on.

Unique and Fabulous Dress for Bridal Shower!
I loved how this dress fit! The fabric is so cozy, flattering and has incredible movement. I wore this for a friend's bridal shower and I absolutely loved it. The colors are so pleasing and the pockets are a major bonus. The neckline does cut in very narrow, so a strapless or adhesive bra are necessary.

Chic and Classy Fit!
I previously rented a different dress that did not fit, so a stylist surprised me with this gem. The color is remarkable and the fabric is thick and luxurious. The peplum skirt is on trend and gives a classy, conservative look perfect for a holiday event. There is not much give in the fabric, so be sure to order the size that will fit your largest measurement. I also rented the Elizabeth Cole necklace that went perfectly with this dress. I got so many compliments!

Incredible detailing...incredible night!
This dress runs true to size and is a perfect unique party dress. The beading detail is fantastic and stands out nicely against the nude colored sheath, without making you look 'nude'. I wore this to a NYE party in Manhattan and several girls came up to me to compliment me (and that's saying something for Manhattan)! It is very comfortable and I highly recommend it.

My boyfriend said I looked like a showstopper in this beautifully unique gown!
This is the most amazing, unique dress that I have ever worn. Guests at the wedding were complimenting me all night long and asking where I got such a gown. I got my normal size in the European translation and it fit pretty generously, maybe too generously because the belt was a bit big on me. I wish I would've gotten the regular length because mine was just too long for dancing, even with 5" pumps. The color and fabric are absolutely divine. The fabric is sheer though, so be aware of this if you plan to wear in sunlight.

I loved the bright colors and thought it was so fun!
I rented this dress for an engagement party and it was absolutely perfect for a nighttime summer bash. I loved the bright colors and thought it was so fun. Fit was true to size and I would've preferred to wear the smaller size that I ordered, however, the inner black slip was twisted in a strange way and I could not figure out how to fix it. Either way, the dress was incredibly comfortable. I also rented the Kate Spade Ornate Onyx Cuff and I thought it really pulled the outfit together.

This dress is nothing but FABULOUS!
I wore this dress for my 30th birthday and it has to be my most favorite dress of all time. I normally wear an 8 in dresses and rented a Medium since it was the largest size available. Herve Leger dresses are very form fitting and not for the faint of heart. I wore a light shapewear underneath the dress because you could see the indent of my belly button. I wore a strapless bra because of the deep V in the back of the dress. The colors of this dress are truly vibrant and amazingly eye catching. Best dress ever!!

WOW the detailing on this dress is so chic and beautiful. Wore this for my work holiday party and reviews were accurate about it being a little loose on the top for smaller size busts. The draping stops at the hemline and does not go below it as shown in the picture.

I received so many compliments at the party on this striking dress. The threading in the dress is so eyecatching and unique! It is also SUPER comfortable and lightweight!
I wore this dress for my brother's daytime graduation party. Since it was a pool party, I dressed it down with flip flops and casual jewelry, but this is a very versatile dress that can be worn in a variety of occasions. The panels are sheer from the waist down (peach colored slip underneath to the mid-thigh), which is very unique and fun. My only gripe is that I ordered my main size as an 8R and would have preferred to wear that size, however, the sash on top was not threaded through the neckline and I didn't have the time to worry about installing it, so I just wore the larger size for ease of wear.

Several people told me that I was the 'best dressed' at my formal event. I did not want to return this gorgeous dress!
This dress is amazing in so many ways. It truly fits true to size and is very comfortable, although this fabric does not have any stretch. The long length was perfect for me with 4" pumps. The front slit is quite high but it is very sexy and demure at the same time. I wore fuschia suede pumps to match my lipstick, as well as the Tom Binns Crystal Black Chandelier earrings, which I loved.

I wore this for my 29th Birthday and felt amazing in it!
This dress is so sexy and flattering, especially for hourglass figures. Accentuates in all the right places and the material is forgiving. It does have minimal stretch so I did opt to wear the larger size. The only downfall was that the larger size had a broken underwire and it was poking my skin throughout the night. I remedied the situation with a little fabric tape.

Feeling like the belle of the ball in this beautiful blue dress!
This dress was so comfortable, sexy and perfect for an NYC holiday party. The only trouble I had was figuring out what type of brassiere to wear, but I ended up going with a strapless corset-type. The color popped and the velvet texture was so unique in a crowd full of LBD's. I loved the metallic accents at the shoulders too!

I wore this for my boyfriend's graduation from the US Marshal Service so it was an incredibly proud moment for both of us. I felt so glamorous!
I rented this dress after being inspired by the engagement photos released by Kate Middleton and Prince William and I was NOT disappointed. This dress was so classy and chic. It fit at a modest length above the knees and the fabric was quite flattering. I wore this with nude pumps and minimalist jewelry as I wore this for a daytime graduation ceremony.
