Lovely color
As most of the Narciso dresses this dress defies any attempt at wearing a bra. Lovely color even on my VERY pale red-headed skin. The neckline is more revealing than the model shows. The zipper up the back IS functional, translation, one could make this dress even more appealing by unzipping it as much or as little as one would like.

Accent's a woman's body beautifully.
I am short, barley over 5 foot. This dress was a midi on me. It fell below my knees. It is much more full at the hips than the model shows. However it has a gorgeous structure and shape to it that made is a delight to wear TWICE before returning it to RTR.

Catherine Deane's gowns are cut beautifully
This gown was once lovely. The overall shape is amazing. It certainly runs small, but then again its almost a bridal party gown so no surprise there. The red is just dark enough to know be trashy and the exquisite cut will flatter nearly any figure. Many Many gowns, as this one, are constructed to seen but really worn. One would never go horse back riding or play tennis in these gowns. They are made for polite conversation and martini's. Sadly, because RTR is such an amazing service and this type of lace gown has been rented, returned, laundered and rented again So very many times, the lace is now crunchy. It feels cheap to the touch and no longer has that beautiful fluid movement that Deane's gowns are so well known for. The lining is now creased into unusual shapes and bumps leaving the wearer feel as if they have dragged an old dress from the back of the closet rather than rented a masterpiece.

Lovely fabric... not in my color palette
This dress is delightfully expensive fabric and draped beautifully. There is a "belt" which cinches at the waist and latches in an unseen spot under the draping making for a PERFECT cinch at the waist no matter who is wearing it. The draping is a bit dramatic on my small frame but visually stunning. Sadly, I found the color to be less grey and more taupe. It was an awful color on my already pale skin. I paired this with a splash of plum from my sweater in order to even where it to work. I think this would be a delightful color on someone who is blessed with a bit more skin tone than I.

FLASHY WITH ALL THE RIGHT HUGS!
Rented this dress as part of my unlimited membership, hoping I could wear it to work (lawyer) followed by out for the evening. As you can see the drama can be reduced with the simple addition of a cardigan. The problem is that there is NO way to where an undergarment on top. I know, its backless, but we have the benefit of TONS of undergarment options these days. The back was not the issue. The boxy cut of the top was. Of course, I wort it anyway! To beautiful overall to pass up wearing at least one.

Perfect amount of sass with a GREAT length and color combination!
Rented this sheath through my unlimited access. I wore this dress 4-5 times before returning. Interestingly, some of the lawyers I work didn't notice the leather until the 3rd or 4th time I wore it. The color palate is subtle and perfect for a little sass in an otherwise buttoned up law firm. The slit is feminine without being risky! Boyfriend even liked when we met after work for cocktails. A perfect choice for work to date night.

Gorgeous dress not my size
Lovely dress, though as others have said it runs small. I ended up choosing not to don this for a formal law firm dinner party, as it was too tight. Had I ordered up a size (4 rather than 2) I think it would have been stunning.

Sumptuous LEATHER!!!
Rented this fantastic Navy skirt through my unlimited plan. Wore in 3 or 4 times before returning it. It is a gorgeous vegan leather. I wore it took work, my 80+ year old VERY classy boss found it to be stunning. Wore it to a couple of cocktails and garnered tons of compliments. Did have to ask people to stop petting me though, the leather is very alluring.

Interesting cut. Not as spectacular as one would hope.
I am rather short so this skirt fell too long on my body. The skirt is lined but the skirt itself is a bit less than professional. The fabric is similar to linen.

PERFECT girly pink to go over a LBD.
I wore this for BOTH a court appearance (lawyer here) and a cooking class with some girlfriends. Worked beautifully for both occasions!

Kept this dress a bit longer to wear to a couple of holiday parties.
Fits beautifully!. I have a very small frame, so I choose NOT to tie the belt in front which is very wide. The length is delightful and the cape, as you might imagine, is the perfect amount of drama.

Sumptuous fabric and floated PERFECTLY!
Wore this out to brunch and 'casually' throughout a weekend. Received loads of compliments and generally i just found it an perfect fit. At my height this could also be won as a tunic or a dress. The color is more lilac than gray but I enjoyed it all the much more for it.

Perfect! I wore this to court, I am an attorney, and to drinks with friends.
Requires a strapless undergarment however the fit was a perfect dream. I will likely rent this again. A bit long for me as I am short so VERY high heels.
