Loved these
Great for just about any event, not too large and light to wear.

I was told I had the best dress of the night by a number of people
This was one of my favorite rentals (and I have been renting from RTR for over 10 years so that is saying a lot). The embroidery, coupled with the sequins on the flowers was just stunning and perfect for a fall event. I had people on the street stopping to compliment me on my dress. I thought the dress was super comfortable to wear - I wore a sticky bra to feel secure but you don't really need a bra. I also did not have to wear tall heels with this one, which is a big plus - just about a 2 inch heel was perfect to get the dress off the ground. I have no complaints about this one!

Beautiful, lightweight earrings
I rented this and the matching necklace for a black tie optional wedding, along with the high-low gown from Hutch. I thought they added just the right touch of elegance and were easy and comfortable to wear all night.

The dress was both comfortable and elegant
I rented this dress for a black-tie optional wedding and it was perfect! It was very comfortable, super easy to dance in (no one stepped on my dress!), and you could possibly go braless if you wanted to. I opted for a stick-on backless bra just because I have a major fear of having a wardrobe malfunction while dancing. The straps are adjustable which is very helpful to get the right fit. I also tried on the 2R and could have worn it as well but the straps dug in just a bit so I went with the 4R, which is my usual size anyway. The dress fabric is soft with lots of shine and looks so elegant.

My boyfriend loved it
It's difficult to see in the photo but it's the only one we took. I wore this dress for a Valentine's dinner date and my boyfriend loved the super low neckline. I wore a U-shaped backless bra just to keep everything in place and to avoid anything slipping out. I have put on a few extra pounds lately but my usual size 4 still fit, and I was able to zip up the 2 as well, so I would recommend sizing down for a back up. I also have a short torso and the fit was a little weird around the waist.

Comfortable and hides imperfections well
This dress was warm, very comfortable for dinner and the ballet, the bow at the waist hid a little extra weight I am still carrying from the holidays, and it is a beautiful, deep shade of purple (this photo was taken at night and the dress is much more beautiful in person).

Even though I was wearing black, I still stood out.
I wore the 6 but would have liked to have tried an 8 as well. I always need 1-2 additional sizes for Likely, depending on what fit you are going for. I wore this to a gala and felt very elegant although a bit self-conscious as it was very tight around the waist area (I have a 27.5" waist for reference).

The emerald sequins are beautiful
I rented this dress to see Wicked. I could have worn the XS or the Small but chose the small because the bottom hem had fallen out on the extra small. This dress has a pretty classic sheath shape, was comfortable to wear and was exactly what I was looking for.

The color was great.
I received many compliments on how beautiful the green color was. The design of the dress is beautiful and fits well for the most part. I gave 4 stars because the arms were really tight and restrictive and the chest area was a bit big for a B cup, however I could not have gone down a size because the rest of the dress fit just right.

I always get so many compliments renting from RTR
This dress was form-fitting and comfortable at the same time, due to the stretchy fabric. It was shorter than I expected and I probably could have worn flats (I would have had I not been walking around city streets and I didn't want the dress to drag on the ground). I do think the neckline is more flattering for bustier ladies - I chose to wear a special bra to add more volume to that area so that I looked more proportional. It was also a great color for February and keeping warm in winter.

Didn't wear
I didn't end up wearing this item. I felt that the pleats and style around the waist added too much volume to my short torso. The dress might have hung better on me if perhaps I had sized up?

One of my favorite rentals from RTR.
I wore it slightly off-the-shoulder even though it isn't quite designed for that - I thought it looked better that way. The fit is great - fabric is thick and flattering. I could have gotten away with the 40 as well, but I liked the look of the 42 better on the stomach area, which was my least favorite part. The dress definitely shows every curvature around the waist. I thought the red was stunning in person and less orange-red than it looks on the site.

Comfortable dress for socializing and a large dinner
I expected this to be more of a body-con fit and it was very loose around the waist, but not loose enough to fit like a shift dress. The zipper also bunches strangely in the back. The material was nice and thick, which was great for colder weather. I also thought the color was beautiful. I said the fit was big because of the waist but it fit great around the hips (and mine are narrow, just FYI).

I felt so beautiful!
I wish I had taken a better photo of this dress during the event because the photos I have do not do it justice. The fit is so flattering, I feel like I always get a gorgeous and sexy look from Nicole Miller. The neckline is a lot lower than I expected and my usual backless bra would have shown through, so I purchased a backless, U-Plunge bra and used fashion tape to keep everything in place. If there would have been dancing, I'm not sure this dress would have been a good choice because of the neckline but it was wonderful for this event. The long sleeves help to balance the high slit, heavy cleavage and open back.

I always feel amazing in sequins
My backup size, XS, was not available and I would have liked to try that size on as well because I thought the small was a tiny bit large but nothing that was noticeable to anyone. (I'm usually in between a size 2 and 4, depending on designer). I really liked the short length of the dress and thought that it was really fun and comfortable to wear.

Always having something new and beautiful to wear
I loved this dress more than I thought I would. It's difficult to see in my photo but the gold really stands out beautifully from the black. The length is on the shorter side, which I liked, and skims the body nicely without being too body conscious.

This is a shift style so it is very relaxed around the waist which I thought was perfect for the birthday party I went to. Super comfortable and the shorter length is perfect.

Beautiful and unique on top, awkward-fitting on bottom
This dress is pretty and elegant and was great for my Mom's birthday party. I didn't feel "stunning" like several of the other dresses I have rented previously from RTR. This dress had a lot of extra room in the stomach and hips (I have narrow hips) and would be great for someone trying to conceal that area.

I felt so beautiful and elegant
I don't normally like strapless dresses on me but the lace trim on the neckline was very flattering. I normally have to wear a size up (6) in Nicole Miller but I was able to wear my normal size (4) in this dress. The fabric is very stretchy, comfortable and flattering. I wore 3" heels and the dress was a little long in length.

Everyone loved the fabric and color
The dress has a great fit overall, with the exception of around the arms. Regardless of which bra I wore, you could see it when I turned sideways. I could have worn either the 4 or 2 and probably should have went with the smaller size as the dress is cotton and stretches with wear.

Overall, a very comfortable and elegant dress for the Opera.
Based on reviews, I ordered a size up (6) and my usual size (4) as a backup. Unfortunately, I received a size 8 as a backup instead and had no choice but to go with the 6. I would have loved to have tried the 4, as the 6 was a little large up top, however the ribbon waist is not flexible so maybe the 4 would have been a little tight? I did not have trouble with the zipper, as some reviews suggested. Super comfortable dress, beautiful lace!

A little tight - could have tried a bigger size
This dress was very beautiful and stretchy but I did not anticipate it being as form-fitting as it was. I normally wear a 6 in Nicole Miller dresses and probably should have ordered a medium as a back-up size. Otherwise, I highly recommend the dress.

Stunning in person
I usually wear a small and both the small and XS fit but the small bunched up in weird places. I think the tighter, the better for this dress. I couldn't get the bottom hem to match up quite right but otherwise I absolutely loved the fit and look of this dress. I received compliments all night and the dress felt conservative enough for work with just a bit of sexy.
