Loved these pants!

I got a lot of compliments on these pants the few times I wore them! They are very lightweight and have a very 1970s look and feel to them. I liked the high waisted fit and they look great dressed up or down.

Cute clutch, bigger than it looks

This envelope clutch is a fun look for summer with a mix of tropical color and sparkly raffia. The bag is quite large and can easily fit all of your essentials. I thought about keeping it, but the raffia does pull pretty easily and I was worried I would not be able to keep it looking fresh.

Too big, could not wear

This dress runs a bit larger than Ralph Lauren dresses I have worn in the past. The material is lovely, an ivory thicker material with nice detail work. I was disappointed that I was unable to wear it. I found it to be too large in the bust and waist.

Runs way too large!

This skirt ran very large and consequently ended up falling too low on my legs and not fitting in the waist or hips. Definitely size down. The material is a denim material - which was not what I expected, as it looked more like corduroy.

Fits strangely, ended up not wearing.

I was disappointed in quite how low the cut of the romper neckline was. It must be pinned in the model photo or the model is not busty. The neckline came down nearly to my belly button and it would have been impossible to wear any bra with this. I found that the neckline came down too low and the crotch came up too high, resulting in an uncomfortable fit. Had high hopes for this!

Great look, not great for dancing

I received this as one of a few backup options from RTR when my original rental was unavailable. It was a good dress for the wedding ceremony, but I opted to not wear it for the reception. The lace material is a beautiful weave and the top is a separate piece that offers a flattering, almost two piece look, that is slimming. It is a bit challenging to carefully inch the zipper up over the hem of the thicker skirt material - we were worried we were going to break the zipper! The pencil skirt bottom was quite tight. There's no way I could have danced the night away in this dress.

Great summer dress, tons of compliments!

Fit: this dress was super lightweight, breezy and comfortable. The zipper only comes up to the base of your back and is completely backless. You can't wear a traditional bra with this dress, but the fabric is pretty sheer and loose to go without. I used an adhesive bra. Fabric: the fabric is very light and seems to snag easily. I saw several snags in the size I ended up wearing. With the pattern it is not that noticeable. Length: I am 5'7" and I wore this dress with a 2" wedge. The length was just long enough to be able to dance without tripping.

I loved this necklace, it really brought the outfit together. Perfect for a special occasion!

This necklace was beautiful and made up for a dress I wasn't loving as it pulled the outfit together for me. I'm not usually one to own statement jewelry, but this worked perfectly with my outfit I wore for my birthday. I was very pleased with the color and proportion - it wasn't overly large or flashy.

Comfortable dress that stretches and forgives, would definitely rent this one again.

I was somewhere in the middle in sizing between a M and a L, and I had two events in different cities two days in a row, so I actually wore both sizes, one on each day. I preferred the fit of the M over the L, particularly in dress length. The crepe feature at the knee is what makes this simple dress pop. The dress is stretchy and very forgiving. The fabric is heavier than you might expect. The sleeve on this dress is also very work-professional, as it hits mid-way between the shoulder and the elbow. I would definitely rent this dress again.

This dress was comfortable, flattering and HAS POCKETS!

This dress was one I shipped to my hotel at a wedding out of town (so convenient!) and I was a bit worried how it would look in person versus online. It's much more pink than I thought it would be - it looks very wine/burgundy in color online - just be aware of the color differentiation. This dress is easy to wear with any bra - a great selling point for me. The neckline is flattering without showing too much and the cut is at the knee. This dress would be very work appropriate with a blazer, but I wore it for a wedding. I ended up wearing the 8 instead of the 6 as I couldn't get the 6 to zip around my ribcage. I was comfortable the entire evening in this dress. The fabric was thinner than I thought it would be - I rented this in December, you'd likely want to wear tights or a shrug of some sort in cooler weather.

Lots of compliments & FUN to dance in!

I got this dress the day I needed it so I honestly didn't even try both on, I tried on the 10 and it worked so I went with it! I normally wear a 6, 8 or 10 depending on the designer. Pros of this dress: POCKETS, adorable zipper/back of the dress with a bow, well structured Cons of this dress: definitely can't wear a bra with it because of low back, kind of unflattering waistline (I wish it cut just a smidge higher), a bit of side boob action unless you are cautious! I got a TON of compliments on this dress and it was flouncy enough in the skirt that I had a blast dancing in it. The price is right on this one, too, if you're heading to endless weddings!

Beautiful dress, perfect fit, and great color!

Material is heavier than it looks, but has a great shape (especially in skirt). Chest was snug, but not uncomfortably so, you could probably get away with not wearing a bra, but straps definitely won't show with the cut. The color is more pink than it appears in RTR photos, where it looks like a cherry red. The higher waist and flared skirt are very forgiving for hips and thighs, perfect for an hourglass shape. I did notice that the fabric seems to pill pretty easily around the hem and pockets, even are only about 6 hours of wearing. Would definitely rent this dress again for a party, wedding or date night!

Runs small, Second size I had ordered didn't come in

Didn't get to wear this dress to my event as my backup size didn't ship. Thankfully RTR sent me two sizes of a different dress for the error. The fabric and fit of this dress is lovely, but definitely size up if you have a chest!

Unique fabric, comfortable fit, beautiful shape

This dress is stunning, I wore it yesterday for an event and just rented it again for a future event! The color and fabric is heavier looking than it actually is. The pattern gives a nice three dimensional quality and shine to the dress. The high/low quality in the front and slight train in the back make this the perfect dress to show off your shoes in. If you plan on wearing heels, definitely rent the longer length. The zipper is a bit sticky when switching between fabrics, but if you close the eyelet first and pull the zipper firmly, you'll be fine. I wore this dress with a strapless bra without issue, it does not offer enough support to go braless.
