Weird cotton material
Cute style but did not end up wearing the dress. It was a very odd cotton/linen material and was extremely wrinkly and stiff, including the ruffles that were not able to be steamed out.

Cute and dreamy, minor flaw
Loved this dress and would still recommend it! Only removed a star for the bottom half. It was a little too much material on the bottom half and a bit unflattering at certain angles. I'm 138 lbs, 5'4, 36B and rented a size 4. Fit perfectly!

One of my favorites- searching to buy it!
this was fun, flirty and perfect for a date night with my husband. I'm typically a size 4/6 in dresses, 34B and I wore the SR. Plunging neckline was gorgeous. This is not for work, only for play :-)

Need permanently
Loooveeed this!! Wore it for my bachelorette party and want to buy it. It runs true to size, but a little short. Also- like the other reviews- the snap kept coming undone but nothing that a safety couldn't help! It was perf and had a blast in it all night!

Not bad but not my fave
Rented this for my rehearsal dinner. Not my favorite rental ever but loved the undertone of the pink - typically brides wear white- so it was a feminine and slightly unexpected. It runs small and short. I religiously wear a 2 and I even lost 9lbs for my wedding (120lbs in this photo) and still ended up wearing the 4. Size up, sisters!

Sexy meets sophisticated!
Sexy meets sophisticated! One of my favorite rentals that is extremely versatile. You can wear it to a party or wear it to work and it is completely appropriate. It is perfect in length and the wrap does not come open. I'm 5'4 128lbs 34B. Loved it so much I bought it!

need in my closet permanently
Unfortunately I didn't get a full length picture, because we were too busy having fun. I am 5'4 with 27 inch waist. this is EXTREMELY forgiving so if you're a 0/2/4/6 you could easily fit the 0R. It was so comfortable, effortless to dance in and could eat all the wedding cookies I wanted :-) HIGHLY recommend this dress. Beware- it is sheer so you may want to consider wearing a strapless slip underneath.

Superb Quality- Extremely Small at Waist
The material is fantastic. Perfect for a special work function, but unfortunately oddly small at natural waist. It fits great and is proportionate in top and bottom, but like the other reviews stated, the waist is extremely small. I would have rented the Medium but they did not have my size. My only concern would be that it would then be too big everywhere else.

great print!
I wore this to a fashion show in NYC. Material was very thick so be prepared to be a little toasty. the cut was very flattering and it didn't wrinkle at all which was nice getting in and out of cabs before the show. It runs true to size, maybe a bit on the smaller size around the mid section like the other reviews stated. I rented a 2 and a 4, ended up wearing the 4 but still comfortable! and loved the pockets!!!- incredibly functional!

like wearing liquid pajamas
Loved this little number, I need to own it. I rented this for fashion week while we ran around between shows during the day. It was unbelievably comfortable and hung so nicely. I typically wear a 2/4 and I rented and wore the small.

Lawd have mercy! (lift both hands up to the sky and tilt your head back)
This is by far my favorite rental (I feel like I say that every time)....but seriously- this is the best. #ToDieFor The material, fit, quality, draping, cut, style, comfort-it is EVERYTHING ! ! ! ! ! You have to rent this. I didn't want to give it back. I rented a size 2 and 4. There was basically no difference. I wore the 2 because I have a small chest and it was more fitting to hold what I do have, in, since I did not wear a bra. I wore breast petals that I purchased from Target. I paired it with a simple gold bangle and gold chandelier earrings. Divine! Do yourself and everyone who will be at the event a favor and rent this! Warning- people will be drooling over you. xoxo

You couldn't see any lines they worked perfectly!
Great classic fit!
Loved it-wore it for a wedding. I'm typically a 2 or 4 in dress. Since this was more fitting I went with the 4. It was very comfortable and has pockets, which is awesome bc i love pockets. Sometimes pockets can create bulk to the dress but these do not in the slightest! Very seamless look- they are cut just right! I recommend this dress but I do not recommend wearing it during the summer, the material is quite thick, but great for early spring/fall/winter.

I wore this for my birthday dinner, very forgiving and lightweight material! Arm holes were a little big, but I wore a black lace bandeau bralette and peeked out and worked perfectly!

Perfection.
Ok so my last review said the Mai Tai dress was my favorite rental....-update- this is my favorite rental ever. This made me feel like a 5'11 super model. It was lengthening and so flattering. The dress fit perfectly, other than being a little long, it was fine with my 4 inch heels. The color was vibrant and beautiful, material was light and airy perfect for a summer wedding and the quality of the dress was like it was never worn. I loved that it had pockets as well, so chic. I wish I could wear this dress every day of my life. RENT IT!!!

Best rental to date!
I've rented over a handful of times now (i'm a RTR lifer) and this was my favorite dress, thus far. The quality of material was a dream, almost creamy and was extremely wearable. It was perfect for my...29th (ouch) birthday. It made getting older a little easier ;-) I highly recommend this dress!!! You can style it a million ways to make it your own. I try to suppress my super girly side, idk why, but I punched this up with some black leather shoes/accessories. Just to give you an idea- I wear a 0/2 in Loft, a 2 in Limited and a 2 in J.Crew- It fits true to size.

odd shape- keep looking
its pretty long, the dress was tight in the rib cage, big in the chest and huge at the hips....might work for someone who is extremely hourglass but not for someone with an athletic build.

absolutely PERFECT!!!
This gown was simply stunning! I received so many compliments, I wish I could wear it again! I would highly recommend renting a size bigger than you typically wear (ie. if you wear a 2 in Loft, I would rent a size 4 and 6). I wore the 4, it was still snug, but the 6 didn't fit as well. The material and quality were in absolute perfect condition. Rent this dress!!

wear and tear- quality flaws
10 stars for customer service 5 stars for the style, material and appropriateness! 2 stars for the quality. Just like the other reviews the scalloping at the top of the dress kept drooping- I spray starched the dress which was a HUGE help!! the boning was sticking out at the top and was digging into my chest and also my back. BUT I called RTR immediately and they sent me a different dress in the same style- I loved this dress so much that I wanted the same one, just one that wasn't as worn out. They overnighted me the dress and I received my dress 8:30 am the next day! It was absolutely perfect for an elegant family wedding. The customer service gets 10 stars!
