Oh Captain my captain!
Rented for Florida fall wedding at a yacht club. Loved this dress. Comfortable, sexy, and just enough danceable. The cut of the arms made me look more fit like my younger days which I appreciated. Lots of compliments. Size 12 true to size. I wore a shaping strapless slip.

Nice, but very small
I would have ordered a medium if it were available, but luckily only the large was available at the time. It fits like a Medium or even smaller. I cannot zip it comfortably. The belt along the bottom is sewn in so cannot be removed. That would not be a problem if I could zip it up and close it. Instead the belt hangs loose and is long. The leather is nice enough. I'm on Unlimited and may hang onto it or so but this is not a gem.

I love this shirt!
I've rented this twice now and I love it. It fits well and doesn't show too much so its a pretty classy casual look. I've worn on date night with jeans and heal and also to a concert with shorts and flip flops.

Good for the price
Grabbed this up due to a cheap promo by RTR. Rented for family friendly New Years Eve Party. The dress was okay enough. For the price I paid I wasn't disappointed. Normally 8 is a little loose on me but I'm not quite ready for a 6. I could have worn either 6 or 8 in this dress but chose the 8 to cover a little more. Used quite a bit of fashion tape to hold back the cleavage. If it hadn't been family friendly I would have let the girls have a little more air but even then would have needed to pin it or tape some.

Very classy
I was underwhelmed when I opened the package and hoped it would look better on. It really did! I'm between an 8 and 10 and the 8 fit with room to spare. I'm a 34D and had a hard time filling out the chest. Even with a nude strapless bra I occasionally had a little bit of bra hanging out in the bust which was frustrating. But regardless, I really really loved this dress. Wore it for a formal cocktail event for a children's hospital charity. It was sexy and classy and perfectly appropriate.

Great!
Rented with the matching necklace. A little bigger than expected but they were great. Not too heavy, and I normally cannot take much weight at all.

Rich looking
Great necklace. I rented the matching earrings too. My husband commented on how high end and it looked and joked about having to hide it walking down the street.

Fun and flirty
Rented for Vegas based on phone stylist recommendation. I told her I like to show a little skin but not over the top and tend to be understated. She suggested this immediately and described as "fun and flirty" . Very right on! Love dancing in it. It had some great twirl and was a perfect length to not worry about bending over or anything. Pair with a statement necklace and some interesting shoes.

Returned
I really wanted to love it, but just didn't. My husband kind of made a funny face when he saw me too (he's an honest guy and he loved the replacement dress). It did nothing for me, but sparkle. Did nothing for my chest, butt, hips. The length was boring considering the lack of fit. If you really don't want something form fitting and REALLY sparkly, maybe it will work for you.

Comfy and function well
I bought these on site at the RTR shop in Vegas. I tried to go with the cheaper version but these were just too good. Comfy, wore, all night with no issues at all. Kept my two-babies-later-tummy smooth.

Too heavy for me
Cute, but these hurt my ears after a few hours and even had to move them to my second hole (which hurt after a few more hours). I had reserved these for a future event as well and have canceled that order. Two out of two earrings that others said were not heavy have not worked for me from RTR so I think I'm done with earrings specifically.

Very versatile
I'm not good at wearing big jewelry and I loved this necklace. I think it straddled perfectly the line between statement necklace and not over doing it. Wore it with two different cocktail dresses in Vegas.

Bigger than expected.
This was small purse size, not clutch so I ended up not using it. It seemed okay and functional though.

Cute, sexy, feminine
I had rented another dress for Vegas that I ended up not liking and this was the dress suggested at the RTR shop. I came out and my husband eyes got big and he gave a big thumbs up. I'm regularly a 10 and maybe should have gone with the 10, but he 8 fit so I jumped on it. I was a little worried about it rolling in the waist when sitting but it wasn't a problem. The dress also requires a little maintenance to keep the tulle straight, but its worth it. Great effect. Wore with nude pumps and a statement necklace that wasn't too big. Was so glad she picked this one for me!

Liked them, a little heavy
I cannot wear heavy earrings and these pushed my maximum. But I did wear them for the night, so I guess they weren't too heavy. I loved the actual earrings though and they dressed up the outfit without being overstated.

These are great. Friends were wanting to figure out how to buy they loved them so much! Nice weight. Didn't feel like I was overdoing it at all.

Fit great!
This dress looked great on! My husband could not keep his hands off me and is begging me to rent it again this weekend! I am just starting to fit into a 10 now and the 10 fit beautifully. I'm in between athletic and hourglass, not too soft and not too firm. The lining hid imperfections well. It was mid thigh and not terribly short. Felt very sexy without showing too much skin. Rented it for Saturday night date out with friends to a trendy but casual restaurant.
