This dress is hands-down gorgeous. Tailored fit, sexy slit up the leg, moves beautifully when you walk, and a nice light material for summer. I used a racerback bra clip on my everyday bra and it worked great. I would definitely rent again!

Doesn't fit an iPhone X!
Lovely clutch but it doesn't fit an iPhone X! I had to carry my phone separate the whole night.

Pretty color, okay fit
This dress was okay, but not my favorite that I've rented. The proportions felt a little off for my body type (long torso). Chest and hip fit didn't really hit the right places. Still wearable but I wasn't particularly comfortable!

Cute and just the right size
This is a lovely clutch. I used it for a summer wedding and was very happy with it. JUST big enough to fit an iPhone 6S, some lip gloss, and a couple cards. I didn't end up using the chain for over the shoulder, but it had one.

Gorgeous, flowy, and vibrant for summer!
I received tons of compliments on this dress, which I wore to an outdoor summer wedding. The bright coral color is stunning, and the dress moves beautifully when you walk. I opted for one of the petite sizes. I'm 5'7" and needed the shorter size in order to wear this with sandals instead of heels. My only complaint was that the top of this dress isn't awesome for ladies with a chest. I taped myself into it, and still had an issue with one of the cups not really fitting me. I had to keep adjusting. Also worth noting, the back of the dress is VERY open. I was comfortable with this, but good to know going in!

Elegant gown, but wasn't fitted enough
I rented this dress for an outdoor wedding. The pattern of this dress is beautiful and it's very elegant, but I had a couple issues with it. 1) The fabric is NOT breathable. I was very warm the entire time!! 2) The cut of the dress wasn't fitted enough around the torso for me. I ended up having to belt it to give it a decent shape. I've had this same issue with other dresses by this designer (Badgley Mishka), and won't rent one again. They're just not flattering for women with narrow waists.

Adorable dress in a fabulous color
This was a backup dress that I ended up wearing to a bridal shower. It was so pretty! Fit was perfect and I got tons of compliments. The color is fantastic, especially for someone who loves turquoise as much as me.

Sophisticated, elegant, and sexy all at once!
I loved this dress. Wore it to a wedding and it was the perfect blend of sophistication and class with a bit of sexiness. Fit beautifully, and I could get into it myself, and didn't require a bra. The length to the knee and the mesh across the top keep it elegant enough for a formal affair. Note: the lace on top is black, and then the dress itself is a deep deep purple/navy ish color. I've rented Theia dresses from RTR before and definitely will again!

Fabulous lace detail, fit, and color!
I wore this beautiful dress to a daytime wedding and it was lovely. The fit was great and I got tons of compliments. Such an elegant, classic piece. My only complaints were that the sleeves are quite tight, so I had to get help zippering myself into the thing, and this particular neckline cut makes choosing a necklace a bit challenging. Otherwise I highly recommend!

Amazing Glitter-Bomb of a Gown!
I wore this to a black tie wedding, and got a TON of compliments. Ordered two sizes (4 and 2) and ended up wearing the 2, which fit beautifully. I'm 5'7" and wore about 3" heels. Note: In some photos the sparkles appear very gold, but in the lighting at the wedding venue they appeared silver. I recommend mixing and matching your metals so you're covered either way! Really gorgeous, statement dress.

Stunning gown that looked like it had been custom tailored
My favorite dress I've rented to-date. I wore this to a Barrister's Ball and got dozens of compliments! It fit beautifully, accented all the right curves, and strikes the perfect balance between sexy and classy. A really timeless piece of fashion.

Gorgeous, colorful statement dress!
I'm usually a size 4, which wasn't available, so I was so glad that the 6 fit because I really loved this dress. It was just a tad large at the top, but the asymmetrical strap masked this. I wore it with flats (I'm 5'7") and didn't need a bra. LOVED the colors and got a ton of compliments on the dress all night long. Took me a couple tries to arrange the straps the right way, but then I didn't have to mess with them ever again. The material is super light and flowy so it was great for a hot summer evening wedding.

The color of this dress is stunning! A show-stopper.
This was my first RTR and the dress was great. Gorgeous color! I'm usually a 2 but it was a tad too short on me (to the point where I would've been very aware of it the whole evening) so I decided to wear the size 4. My only complaint is that in both sizes, there is a lot of material in the top part of the dress. You have to really play around with where you tie the wrap so it looks right. It was eye-catching and comfortable, and I felt great in it!
