Classic meets just-enough sexy

This dress fit true to size. You can wear a regular bra because the back of the dress isn’t open. It’s black, but has silver thread that runs through it that adds dimension that I didn’t see in pics. It’s really comfortable, but did require I have someone zip me up all the way the first time I put it on. I think it fit true to size. It didn’t ride up when I walked and kept me as warm as it could have for a March formal event in New York. I’d definitely recommend this dress.

Not for me

This dress was a second choice pick after my free backup size for my first choice wasn’t available, and RTR contacted me to say they’d send another. Two things: there’s an alligator print to this dress I did not know about because I didn’t see it in the pics. It’s not super noticeable in the front, but very noticeable in the back. Two, it’s so low cut that it showed a significant part of my bra. I’m a solid 36 B, sometimes C, cup and there was no way I could wear this. I’m wearing a black bra in the pic so you have to look close to see how far down it goes. I was really glad my first choice looked so good because I couldn’t have worn this.

Cute jumper

This jumper was rented for a formal event where I needed to be warm and professional. It's cute but it runs small, as pictured. I showed the picture of me wearing the size 10. Unfortunately the next size up wasn't available so I went for two sizes up for the backup size. That was way too big and looked frumpy, so I didn't wear it. I think it would have worked had I gone up one size.

Super comfortable, very flattering jumper

This jumper is the most comfortable formal attire I've ever worn! The zipper that runs along the back isn't so low that you can't get it up and down yourself, a bonus if you're going into the bathroom solo. Be warned that the slit in the front is VERY low: it went almost to my belly button (I'm 5'6") so I had to pin it. I'd definitely rent this again.

Not the one for me

This came as a backup when my second size for my original order couldn't be shipped, so I didn't choose this. The pants had a weird fit: tight at the top, loose a little further down. And the top looked like it was meant for someone larger chested than me, as it hung off me. It was a very bizarre fit and I'm glad RTR sent me another jumper to try because that's what I ended up wearing (see other reviews for photo). The material is very, very thin as well. If you need to wear spanx, they'll show

Cute, comfortable jumper

I wore this to a girls' night out to dinner and dancing at it was very comfortable. I chose this picture to show that the top was a little bit too big (see the extra fabric near the armpit) but the bottom fit perfectly. The cut is pretty low so I was a little self conscious I was showing too much during the night, as well. Overall it was pretty good, but I'm not sure I'd rent it again. It's easy to get in and out of, at least!

Comfortable, light and flattering dress for late summer wedding.

This dress was one of my RTR favorites! It's really comfortable, which is always a plus for me. I wore the medium and it fit true to size. I was worried about other reviews that said the snap at the bust would constantly pop open and that, with a slight breeze, the dress (which is a full wrap; the skit fully covers your front but does go up to the waist-line) would fly open. Luckily, neither of those were a problem for me. The cut in the front hit a respectable low and the loose fabric was just right (not too loose as to add to the hip area). All in all, one of my top 3 rentals. I think this dress works best for ladies who are between an A, B or C cup. The dress has very light fabric so I wouldn't wear it if it's colder than 70°.

Red show-stopper!

This dress was *awesome*! It was very comfortable and very flattering. There is some stretch to it so it doesn't feel constricting and dancing in it was fun and easy. I wore a strapless bra but I think you could wear a racer back and make that work, as well. I felt sexy in a sophisticated way and did not want to return this dress. If you're on the fence about the red color--don't be! It's a lovely shade that'll make you look like a million bucks and turn plenty of heads. Two happy thumbs up from this RTR girl!

I loved this comfortable, beautiful dress!

I wore this dress to a work function where I needed to be dressed up but not *too* dressy. This was the perfect choice! I was complimented the entire evening and, even more important, I felt like I looked really nice. To add even more love to the situation the dress is super comfortable and you can wear a (nude) bra without it showing through the sweet, lacy sleeves. I purposely chose this dress because of its length and because of the sleeves; it's still cold here in New England at the end of March. But I think you could get away with wearing it when it's warmer (50's--60's) but I wouldn't want to wear it mid-summer because I think I'd be too hot. The dress is a very pretty light shade of mint green with a nude slip underneath. I plan on buying this dress, I loved it so much. Another RTR success!

Elegant and very comfortable dress!

This dress is one of my all time favorites! I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but the dress I ordered (not from RTR) didn't work so, last minute, I needed something--and fast. There weren't a ton of options I thought would work with my body type, and for the occasion, with two sizes available (I always get the free backup size) since I ordered it on a Monday to arrive that Thursday, but I'm SO glad I chose this one!! I wore this to my cousins wedding and I felt beautiful and, just as important, really, really, comfortable (you get to wear a regular bra with this!). I ordered a 10R and and 12R, and I ended up wearing the 10. The top was a little bit too big but, overall, it fit really well. My body type is more of an hourglass shape than athletic or slim, and I felt like this dress catered really well to that and was very flattering. I think it would work well with most body types, though maybe not the best if your cup size is smaller than a B. The back has a V-cut to it, which adds an understated element of sensuality to it. The material is on the thicker side, so I wouldn't recommend wearing this during warmer weather. For a cold, rainy day in October it worked really well. Some of the other reviews said it ran long, but I didn't find that to be the case; with 2" heels it was about an inch off the floor (I'm 5'6"). Overall I think this was one of the best dresses I've rented and I will be buying it if it's an option. I just loved it!!

I wore this to my best friends wedding

Though most other reviews said the arms were very tight I did not have that problem. The dress fit really well, and the only issue were the pockets; they looked funny because they bulge out a bit right at your hips. Not where most women want extra width. All in all, the dress ran true to size, felt comfortable, wasn't too heavy (but I did wear it on a day that began around 80° and ended around 60°, and faired well in both temps) and looked great. I got many compliments and felt good about the way I looked. I recommend the necklace I'm wearing (also rented from RTR) because it adds just the right amount of bling. Great experience, as usual!

Really pretty necklace. Has good weight to it so it wasn't sliding all over the place. It made the dress feel more stylish and put together. I'd definitely rent it again.
