Beautiful details, statement piece
My original rental was damaged, so RTR had to send me a dress from my top 5 preferences right away. The process (like always) was seamless. The dress was beautiful in person, I originally was nervous that the dress would look matronly on, but that was not the case. The colors and the floral overlay were gorgeous, and the outer part is attached to the inner pink slip, so you just zip both up (not two separate pieces). Sleeves could be a little tight around the arm pit if you have broader shoulders/wider chest. Can lift arms up, even though the picture makes it look restricting (I even caught the bouquet!).

Business in the front, party in the back
Fabric is thin, so if it is too tight you can see the outline to your body. The color is a beautiful wine burgundy and the cape detail is understated, not over powering. The cape detail is also very unique and flattering. Very special dress and fits great.

Larger than you think
I got these as mystery bling and online I thought they were so pretty and excited to receive them. They are larger in person than in the pictures, however they were still beautiful. Just keep in mind that they are a bit heavy when you first put them on, but through out the night I slowly forgot I was even wearing them. But, if you have sensitive ears, I would beware because of the weight of them!

Sexy, without being too revealing.
A day before my dress was to arrive, RTR gave me a call saying my original dress was beyond repair and asked me to go on the site and pick a list of dresses for whatever price and they would send me what was available, delivered at the same time. This dress was my second choice on the list and I am SO glad it was the one as the fit, color, and length were perfect for a wedding. It does NOT look as revealing as on the model, the see-through lace was cut at appropriate places that gave a little sexy without being too noticeable or revealing. The length is not too short, so it counter balances the sexiness. The fabric is a soft stretchy fabric, not hard like how I originally imagined. Also, note that because it is not a very thick fabric it doesn't help keep things in, so if your stomach area is something you want to hide, this dress will make it more noticeable. Overall, an awesome, lovely dress, and wish I could have kept it! Also, I got mystery bling with this dress which were the Double Loops Pave Encrusted Earrings by Alexis Bittar. At first I wasn't so sure they would go well with the dress, but they did and took the outfit to another level!

Sip of Wine Dress

Great fit and loved the color!
The 0 was a bit tight in the upper area, but the 2 was too big in that area. The 0 was shorter as well, but not by much. The lace was a bit worn out in the 0, but I would assume that was because of how popular this dress is. Paired it with nude pumps. Compliments all night and the color was gorgeous. Totally recommend for a more casual wedding (too short for a more fancy occasion). First RTR rental and will definitely rent again!
