Just ok...
Slightly disappointed with this dress. The hips were very narrow and the mermaid style made it difficult to walk. Also, the top seemed a bit loose / stretched out and kept falling down. Typically I'm a XS/S or a 2/4 with an average build. I ordered both the 4 and 6 based on reviews but wore the 6 because the 4 was extremely difficult to zip. Overall unimpressed. Would not rent again.

OMG! This dress!
I typically don't wear form fitting dresses, so I took a risk on this one after reading the reviews. I'm so glad I did! The color is PERFECT and the dress wasn't too clingy. This is one of my favorite rentals to date. I'm still receiving compliments on it 4 months later. Be sure to size up. I'm typically a XS/S or 2/4. I rented both the 8 and the 10 and ended up wearing the 10. The straps are extremely long but can be fixed with safety pins.

Fun pattern!
Fun summer pattern! Love the ruffle details at the neckline. Rented this as a backup dress incase my initial choice didn't work out. Typically I'm a XS/S or a 2/4. I rented the 2 because the 4 was unavailable. It was a bit snug so I didn't end up wearing the dress. I would be open to renting again if the 4 was available.

Simple yet elegant!
I was pleasantly surprised by this dress. The color is a bright red, perfect for summer. The material is thin but doesn't cling to the body too much. Typically I'm a XS/S or a 2/4. Based on reviews, I ordered both the 4 and the 6. The 4 was a little snug. The 6 fit perfect other than some bunching in the back. I ended up going with another dress but would definitely rent this again for a future event.

Love!
Loved this dress! The pattern is perfect and the ruffle details are so pretty! I'm 5' 2" and this hit right at my ankles. True to size - I'm usually a XS/S or 2/4. I ordered both the 2 and the 4 but wore the 4 for a more comfortable fit.

Pretty bright yellow. Perfect for a summer wedding. Fits true to size. I'm usually a 2 - 4 and the 4 fit best. At 5' 3" it hit right above my ankles.

Pretty Color, Size Up!!
Great fit. Thick material. Definitely size up at least one full size. I'm typically a XS/S or 2/4. Based on reviews, I ordered a 4 and 6. The 6 fit perfectly.

Loved the straps!
Rented this as a backup dress but did not wear. My typical size small/4 fit great, but at 5'2", the dress was too long for me, even with heels. Would consider renting again in the petite size. The fabric is also a thin, silky material. This would be more appropriate for a spring / summer event.

Rented these to go with a pink / red dress. They were the perfect pop of color. Not too large and not too heavy. A pretty addition to any outfit!

Pretty powder blue!
Received this as a backup dress but did not wear. Went with my typical size 4 but it was a little large. Recommended to select your normal size and size down as a backup.

Pretty ruffles!
Loved this dress! I'm typically a size 4 but most reviews stated the dress ran small. The 4 fit but it was difficult to zip and would have been uncomfortable. I went with the 6 and had no issues at all. The dress has a built in bodice which keeps everything in place. No need to wear a bra. Would definitely recommend!

Pretty green!
Rented this for a winter wedding. The color is beautiful! I'm usually between sizes 2 and 4. The 2 fit well, but I probably could have worn a 0 if needed. Size down if in between sizes. At 5'2" - the back of the dress was a little long for me. Not as "high-low" as the picture.

Pretty pattern!
Loved this pattern! So many people told me they saw this dress on RTR and dreamed about renting it. Runs true to size. I'm between 2 - 4 and went with the 4 to be more comfortable. The wires in the bodice are uncomfortable but can be dealt with if needed.

Perfect!
I was extremely discouraged when my initial dress became unavailable on the day of shipment. I selected this dress as a last minute backup and I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect dress for a late summer wedding. I'm usually a 2 or 4 and the 4 fit perfectly. The only issue was the back zipper kept unzipping.

So pretty!
I was so excited for this dress. I was contacted by RTR a half hour before shipment stating my second size was no longer available. I'm typically between a 2-4. The 2 fit but was very very snug in the stomach area and would not have been comfortable. It also had a stain on the front. The 4 would have been perfect if it was available.

Gorgeous but runs VERY small!
Rented this dress as a backup when my initial style became unavailable. I'm usually a 2-4. Only the 2 was available. The bottom was extremely tight and I wasn't able to zip. I would suggest sizing up 1 or 2 sizes for best fit.

Prettier in person!
I rented this dress last minute for a wedding I was attending. It was a new arrival and didn't have many reviews yet. I'm so happy with the dress. Its much prettier in person than in the picture. The dress has a lace overlay which isn't obvious in the photo. The back zipper kept getting stuck on the fabric but if you have help it won't be an issue.

Tight!
I rented this dress as a backup when my original rental was no longer available in the second size. Normally between a 0 and a 2, the 2 was extremely tight in my rib age / chest area. Definitely size up if you choose to rent.

Love!!
I loved this dress so much, I didn't want to take it off. A pretty royal blue with pops of bright pink throughout. The neckline is very unique as well. Normally between a 0 and a 2, I was worried when RTR notified me the size 2 was no longer available, but the 0 fit just fine.

The colors!!
I rented this dress for a NYE wedding and received so many compliments. The colors in the dress are beautiful! Bright purple, blue, and burgundy with a little bit of shine. The skirt begins mid-waistline, above the hip. The dress also has pockets which is always a plus.

I'm not a fan of large, over-sized earrings but these were beautiful! Not too big and not too long. A pretty light pink to make any outfit stand out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I absolutely loved this dress! Such a pretty dusty rose color. Although the front is low cut, it's still very classy. If you wear any type of bra with the dress, the edge of the cups will likely stick out beyond the dress material. I would suggest going braless. The layered front reveals a bit of leg when you walk or dance. Overall a great dress!

Belle from Beauty and the Beast!
Love love love this dress! It's a pretty golden yellow just like Belle in Beauty and the Beast. The dress was true to size and had pockets which were very convenient. Hit right around the knees in front and was almost floor length in the back.
