Flowy & elegant
Loved this dress. Super flowy, floral and everything pretty a girl would want for her bridal shower. I didn't notice til I got it, there is a large slit up the front/side. It moves nicely when you walk. It was maybe slightly too long, but nothing a 2" or more wedge wouldnt solve. All in all, I really loved this one.

Casual beauty
This would have been great for a day time event, but too casual for what I wanted. It was very gatsby-esk. For warning, it doesnt stretch very much, so if you have a wider bottom, go larger.

Super sparkly and comfortable!
This was a backup option that fit the occasion and me way better than my original pick. I wanted a little sparkle for my bachelorette party. This fit comfortably, I didnt feel like I had to pull it down all night. There is a decent liner inside, so sequins did not poke or pinch. I have much wider hips than waist, and this dress hugged me very comfortably.

Tropical & light! Perfect!
I love, love, LOVED, this dress. Would totally rent it again. Must send a thank you to RTR once again for their spot on customer service. My second size could not arrive as expected so they let me chose another backup dress up to double the cost of my original. Though I loved my original so much, I made the 6L work. It was a little snug around my chest, but so worth it. So many compliments.

Standout from the LBD's
Loved the bright pattern on this gown, it was beautiful for an upscale west palm beach spring wedding. I wore low sandals, maybe .5" or so & im 5'6", I probably could have gotten the long, but was very comfortable walking in this as is. Best part is that there are pockets!!

Classy Miami wedding
Loved that there was an inner corset (a helping hand may be necessary)! Made the dress feel more secure, but I could tell the fabric/bones were a little worn on this one. Nice thick fabric, I really liked the color. It was more purply than red as the model showed. All over, cute party dress, but I felt a little like a cupcake because of the volume of the skirt.

Classy sexy
I rented this dress for my birthday. My boyfriend had planned an evening for us, and all I was certain of was wearing this dress! It was gorgeous! Subtle details with the lace panels, and then the open back was a WOW factor. It was a nice heavy fabric so it hugged every curve and didn't bunch up when you walked. It was super sexy, without showing it all. Some people said the back was tight with the strap, but it is adjustable to 3 different hook & eyes. You may need assistance getting in/out of this, or just take your time & use a mirror. The skirt also unzips from the bottom if you need a little more movement. Loved this dress and I would totally rent again!

Very sophisticated & fun
I wore this to a beautiful wedding at an art museum so I aired on the side of conservative because of the venue. I loved the colors in this dress, and the design seemed very painterly. Unfortunately the first size I wanted was unavailable, but in true RTR form, customer service let me chose a backup dress of my choice to make up for it. I ended up sticking with the larger size of my first choice, so it was a little roomy around my middle. I added a small belt to bring it in, and finished with a chunky necklace and & heels. It was light weight for a warm summer wedding. Very pretty, I would rent again.

Great customer service
I bought this since I have many weddings this year and thought this would be a great buy. I've been thrilled with RTR's customer service so far. They've even shipped me dresses to an out of state wedding with no problems!

Felt like a super classy flapper!
Love love loved the dress! Wore it to a very classy evening wedding at a 100 year old mansion. RTR really saved my tush this time, because the first dress I ordered was just all wrong and was actually damaged too. They were able to overnight me 2 sizes of this dress right to the hotel I was flying into and they were waiting for me at check-in. Like others said, the dress was pretty short, and since I have quite the booty, I went ahead and bought a pair of little nude colored shorties so I wasn't self conscience the whole night. I didn't think it was too low cut like others mentioned, nor did the sequins irritate my arms while I danced all night. Sitting was a little uncomfortable because of the length but I didn't stay seated long so that wasn't a big problem. Also, I thought it was weird that I got a 6 & an 8, and somehow the 6 was bigger than the 8. Over all, I really loved it, got lots of complements and people couldn't believe it was from RTR. Can't wait for my next rental in 2 weeks :)

Didn't get to wear this one
Unfortunately this dress was all wrong for my hourglass body type. I'm 5'6, about 145 and it was too tight on my hips and WAY too big in the chest. Even with 34D's & a padded bra. It also had a tiny tear in the neckline. The fabric was nice, but color was a little darker than I expected. More beige than gold. It's a shame, but I'm very happy customer service was polite and were able to send me a backup style straight to my hotel so it's waiting for me when I arrive tomorrow.

Felt so sophisticated and sexy the moment I slipped it on!
Loved this dress so much! As others stated, it is fairly low cut, but not too scandalous. I got tons of compliments on it. Color was beautiful, especially with an olive skin tone. I'm not sure a regular bra would work with this, but I went with one of those sticky ones from Target and it was perfect. No slips, no tugging or moving myself around all night. Even with heavy amounts of dancing. I wish there was a longer option for my size, but it looked and felt so great, shoes weren't really an issue. I wore a 2-3" sandal, and the dress hung maybe a few inches off the floor. I guess its better than tripping on it all night though. Since this was a black tie wedding, I topped it off with a simple set of black pearl earrings, necklace and a ring. All in all, very happy and will definitely rent again.
