lovely dress, just didn't work for me
I rented this dress for a night out but ended up wearing something else. The material is light and flowy. I loved the low cut neckline. I have a small chest and worried it might gape a bit but it lay perfectly and I wasn't concerned about any slips (I didn't need fashion tape). In the end, I said no to this dress because I didn't love the skirt. It was fuller than I liked for the sleek, elegant top; I felt too pear-shaped in it. The hanger straps are sewn in such a way that they would not lay flat inside the sleeves and kept popping out. I would have had to pin or tape those. Also, strangely, both dresses arrived with their plastic hangars broken in the exact same place. They must have had quite a ride in transit! The dresses themselves were not damaged and the same good quality I've come to expect from RtR.

Quality material, very slimming
I rented this for an outdoor Texas wedding. I loved the thick, stretchy fabric; it pulled everything in to a clean silhouette. The dress is short (I'm 5'7" and it hit me midthigh), but it stayed put and didn't need any tugging. There's no zipper, so you'll want to do your hair and makeup, and apply deodorant *after* putting the dress on. Material under the arms is a bit scratchy but not unbearable. Great quality for a budget rental price.

Very flattering
I rented this dress for my (daytime) Masters graduation. I wanted something colorful and fun that wasn't too short. This dress really delivered! Made of a thick, wetsuit-type material, it was form fitting in all the right ways, smoothing out any lumps instead of accentuating them. Very slimming and I loved the way the arms fit. A great dress at a great price. Only cons: the dress bunched up a bit at the waist when I walked, and when the temperature crept above 85, it was a bit hot. Would definitely rent another dress by this designer

Great dress
This shiny, textured dress is a great take on the LBD. Rented for a March wedding that started at 5:00, it made the transition from afternoon to nighttime. It's a little longer on me than on the model and I found the neckline very flattering. Not about the dress, but I want to add: I love the new shipping/garment bags RtR is using! Great for traveling, the bag protects the dresses while the inside pockets help keep all my rented accessories in one place too. Thumbs up.

Beautiful sparkles at a great price
These are a lovely statement piece, with lots of movement and sparkles. I didn't end up wearing them; although the settings are gold-colored, all those crystals make the earrings appear too silver to match the rest of my gold jewelry.

versatile clutch!
Cute bag with optional shoulder strap. Held my phone, sunglasses, keys, and even my hosiery (when I realized I was the only woman under 60 wearing hose, I made a quick change and stuffed them in the clutch). Good bag at a great price!

Great party dress
Wore this for a December wedding (in Texas, so it was 70 degrees). As other reviewers said, size up for your back up (there's no stretch in the bodice but plenty of room in the hips) and the dress is a bit longer than on the model. Cute little dress and I was very pleased with it. Only problem is that both dresses arrived in less-than-perfect condition. The 6 (which I wore) had some snags on the mesh top (maybe the previous user wore a necklace that caught on it?) and the 8's lining had come unsewn and was hanging out past the hem. Not bad enough to be considered 'damaged' but still a bit disappointing. Would recommend for its flattering style and I loved the colors.

Beautiful dress
I rented this dress for a December wedding. As recommended, I ordered a size down and it fit perfectly. Sequins weren't scratchy and gave the dress enough structure so that it was slightly forgiving in the midsection. Only con is that the hem is a bit fitted, making it difficult to pull the bottom down over the thighs, resulting in a bit of wiggling in the ladies room (I didn't want the sequins to catch on my hose). I received lots of compliments and the dress is all over sequins without looking like a disco ball. Would definitely recommend.

This oversized ring is lovely
But it didn't fit my fingers at all (My ring finger is a size 7). It's got a stretchy band, but it was falling off of even my largest finger.
