A neat twist on the little black dress.
I received an e-mail the day before my order was due to ship indicating that my first-choice dress was damaged by the previous renter. Luckily, this beautiful dress was available. The garment is solidly constructed and the piping on the hem is also used to create the unique overlay. The size 0 was a perfect fit and very comfortable to wear. I styled the dress with black pumps, hematite earrings and the gorgeous Ella Carter "Dylan Bracelet" I received as a Mystery Bling. Thanks to RTR and Stylist Megan E. for getting me dressed for my event!

Such a feminine, classic dress
This was my backup dress for a graduation party. The vibrant color and lace are exquisite, but too formal for my event. I would definitely rent this dress again for an appropriate occasion. Sizing was my only issue. Although I fit into the size 0, it felt like I was wearing a wetsuit. Walking and sitting were really restricted. The size 2 was much more comfortable and flattering.

Pretty to look at, but uncomfortable to wear.
These earrings were attractive, but much too heavy. I wore my own jewelry instead.

The sparkle of the sequins makes the dress stand out in a sea of black dresses.
The dress arrived on time and in pristine condition. I also ordered the Badgley Mischka Miss Mysterious dress as a backup because this dress is unavailable in petite. At 5'1'', I was concerned that it would be too long. The length was perfect, however, with 3 inch heels. The fit comfortably accentuates the figure. I really felt like the dress was custom-made for me .The sequins add sparkle without being overly glitzy. I also loved that I could wear standard shoes and underwear. Because the back falls into a slight train, it is longer than the front, causing people to accidently step on it in a crowded room. Also, as other reviewers indicated, the sequins under the arms are abrasive, but not unbearable. All in all, the experience was great. I would definitely use RTR again!

I chose this as my backup dress and did not wear it.
The dress is beautiful and very well made, but is very fitted through the hips. Although I like clothes to fit well, I thought that it was not age-appropriate for me. I wore the Badgley-Mischka "Take the Stage" dress instead.
