Did not wear
This dress is great quality and a beautiful color. It was definitely too long on me - came down about 2 inches below my knees which looked odd. I did not end up wearing it because the size I needed was no longer available - the backup size, which was one size larger, was definitely too big. RTR sent me another backup dress the same color, but a different style, which was too office looking for a wedding. I appreciate that RTR did the best they could, but unfortunately this was not a great rental for me.

Slouchy but cute
Loved the color blocking. This sweater definitely runs large. I have a short torso, so I had to go with my backup smaller size. Fun and interesting, not too heavy. Would rent again.

Funky for NYE
I wore this to a NYE Gatsby themed party. It was super flattering and so different with the variety of textures and gold accents. Great if you have a larger bust - really holds you in and you can wear a strapless bra. The bottom was cut just high enough to be interesting, not inappropriate. The overall weight of the dress made it feel very expensive. Would absolutely rent again.

Not for larger busts
This dress would be a knockout on someone with a smaller chest. It has beautiful lines and is so chic, but truly needs a smaller bust size to allow the material to lay flatter. Definitely cannot wear a bra with this one!

Beautiful dress - but size up!
This was a backup dress for New Year's Eve and I did not end up wearing it. However, I loved trying it on and would rent in the next size up. The shoulder area stayed up and the overall fit, while tight, seemed like it would be slimming in the appropriate size. Just enough sparkle.

Fabulous fringe
I rented this sweater for a fun weekend in NYC to celebrate my birthday. I extended the rental for 8 days to get more use out of it at the office as well. Great transitional piece! I love love love the fringe - very in right now without making you feel like a Christmas decoration. The fabric was a good weight - warm for the winter, not scratchy, and good quality. No tank top needed underneath in case of see through moments. I dressed it up with slacks for work and loved it with slim, black jeans for going out. Perfect length so it doesn't feel boxy or too big.

Best dress yet
This is my favorite rental so far! This dress is a true, rich red color. Looks super expensive. It fit really well throughout with a little bit of stretch, with a little weight to it. The larger size fit much better on my hips - not too tight and stretched out a tiny bit throughout the night. I didn't have a problem with the fabric being tight around the neck like other reviews mentioned. No need for special undergarments either, just seamless underwear. The length was perfect. I will absolutely rent again, maybe next time in the navy! I recommend sizing up if you are curvier, particularly in the hips.

Standout cocktail dress
I rented this for a wedding and loved it. The dress is beautiful - very light and perfect for the summer. It stood out just enough and I loved the glam edge. As far as fit, I found it a little larger than I hoped - I may have been able to pull off a 6 but the 8 was fine. The arm holes are quite low and the cut around the neck is a bit narrow so I had to play around with figuring out the right bra. It sit well on the hips with a bit of extra fabric around the middle. Loved the way it pulled away at the waist. The fabric is thick enough to hold its shape without being too hot. I would rent again but would try a 6 with 8 as my backup.

First RTR experience!
This dress is stunning. I rented for a formal wedding over Fourth of July weekend. The material is structured which works well for the hourglass figure. Material may be a tad heavy for the summer, but it wouldn't dissuade me from renting again, as long as you're in the AC! I rented an 8 with 10 as the backup - the 10 was too large up top with a big gap at the arms, so I went with a snug fit on the 8. The dress is a great choice if you have a fuller chest (I'm actually bigger than a 34 D) and a distinct waist. It was great to enjoy the evening without worrying about sucking it in all night! A perfect first experience with RTR!
