Nice but kind of a meh
This dress was cute but wasn't a show stopper. Most things I get from RTR are unbelievably different in some way that always make me feel like a star- the style, the quality, the fit. This dress does not belong in that category. Much more of a blend-in-the-background type. I didn't love the color with the gold threads. It kind of looked tinsel-like and contrasting to me. Fit was great; maybe a little big in the chest, but that's not unusual for me. Overall, it matched the barn wedding I wore it to perfectly but is not something I'd order again. If you want something safe and pretty, this is your dress.

Stunner for the less endowed!
This dress was awesome and definitely caught attention all over. I wish I'd ordered the 2 because the 4 was a little stretched out in the bust. You can see in photos where the fabric has pulled and stretched with the wavy lines. I wouldn't rent this if my chest were any bigger, so well-endowed women beware! Plenty of room everywhere to move and dance and drink. Would rent again just smaller!

I matched the chandelier!
What a pretty necklace. Went spectacularly with my dress. Wasn't too much and had an elegance to it. Would definitely rent again

WOW dress
This dress was gorgeous in person and in every photo. The only negatives I have are because this dress has clearly been worn a lot. The boning was coming out and stabbing me in the front and back any time I sat down. I read someone else's review of a similar problem, but I was hoping RTR would have it fixed. Heads up on the 4P- it's still poking out. I sprained my ankle the week before this wedding and couldn't wear heels, or else I probably would've gone with the 2R. It held me in a little better since it was tighter but I would've been tripping all night long. By the end of the night, the 4P was really stretched out and was falling off my shoulders like crazy. But it still looked good!! I would definitely rent again. All sorts of compliments, Pretty Woman references, and red carpet moments.

Gorgeous color and pattern
I loved how this dress looked, but it was a little uncomfortable. To get the dress tight enough across my waist, I had to really pull the straps, which was a little uncomfortable, as the strings were cutting into my shoulders. I should've ordered the 2 so that I wouldn't rely on the strings to give me shape. Very unique back and pattern. Really loved the way it looked. I think it was longer on me than expected even with heels. Definitely didn't hit me at a tea length, but the absence of the underlay at the bottom made it look fine. Would rent again!

Very trendy and a refreshing twist on typical brunch outfits
Little long for me- so that they looked more like flood waters than they should've. I am 5'4" but most of my height is in my torso, so I guess this is to be expected! Wore with a black crop tank and it paired very well. Only downside for me is the length.

Stylish jumpsuit- not my favorite
I wore this to all-white-themed dinner and was in general underwhelmed by this jumpsuit. It was more of a gray than a white and looked very worn and faded. The fabric has started to become pilly. The fabric was at least thick, which I appreciate since it was not see-through. I liked the top cut, but didn't love the outfit as a whole.

Least favorite RTR purchase- get ready to be your own Project Runway fix it designer with this one
I would not have worn this dress had I brought a back up to the hotel with me. It was my only option, so I was forced to make do. My own fault, but it was so bad I considered running to Target for literally anything else. There was no hook for the zipper in the back, and the zipper slid down at least an inch without one. I had to jimmy-rig my own fix with some cleverly-hidden safety pins. The top was completely stretched out and gaping at weird places. I did what I could with practically a whole roll of fashion tape, but it barely stuck to the thick fabric. I stood in a very particular position for all photos and was extra cautious while dancing. The dress was short as well- shocking to me. At 5'4", most dresses allow me at least a small heel. This dress looked too short when I was barefoot. Overall, very bizarre fit, and I would never rent again.

My favorite RTR purchase yet!
This dress is amazing. So flattering, gorgeous color, pockets- what more could you want? I rented the 4R and 2R. The 4 was a lot more comfortable on my ribs however the zipper was broken. Fortunately I was able to wear the 2. Besides being snug on my ribs and chest, the 2 worked really well. Would definitely rent again- wish I owned it.

Such a stunning dress!
This dress was super beautiful! I ended up ordering the 4R and 6P (I wish there had been a 4P option). I should have ordered a 2P, as the 4R was still roomy on me, especially in the chest. This dress is LONG- I'm 5'4" and wore almost 4" heels and still struggled with the length. I probably would not have worn this dress if I had a larger chest- think this plunge works well for smaller-chested girls like me, as the focus is on the overall dress shape not just cleavage. Overall beautiful color and stunning dress. I would order again- just the smaller size!

This is my favorite dress I've ordered from RTR so far!
This dress was amazing. So flattering and the color is beautiful. It fit really perfectly and was sexy but classy as well. Not only would I rent it again but I want to own it!!

Subtle bling- very pretty
This bracelet was beautiful but kept getting caught on my dress. Don't wear with lace!

Very flattering shape
Got several compliments on this dress. Loved the shape and top. Only thing I wasn't super in love with was the color- it was a lot more blue and and a lot more gold than I was anticipating.

Loved the neckline and lace!
This dress was so elegant and pretty. It was more black than I was expecting. The 4 was extremely flattering, but tight on my ribs. I wanted to be able to drink beer, dance, and breathe, so I went with the 6. It was a little loose in the chest, but still look good! The 6 was long on me, so I tried to use hem tape, but it did not adhere to the fabric. Wedding ended up being pretty formal, so I think the longer length worked out in the end. Would get again!

I never received the mystery bling
Nothing showed up, so I have nothing to rate
Very beautiful bling!
I did not love that these were clip-ons. They were so pretty, but we're also heavy. Looked great for the wedding ceremony, but I had to take them off for the reception.

Felt like I belonged at a Gatsby party!
This was such a fun dress to have for a themed party. FYI there is a zipper on the side. Almost broke something getting it on because I didn't realize at first... Dress is super flattering, and I loved it. Sequins were a little painful (to me and to others), but I think it was worth it!

Beautiful color and fun twirly skirt
I honestly wish I would've ordered the size below rather than up. It was big in the chest and a little loose on my waist. The color was gorgeous and I loved the way the skirt flew out when I twirled. Maybe a little more mesh than I thought but overall was still tasteful.

Not as heavy as I thought!
This were super pretty and didn't weigh my ears down. I kept my hair down for most of the night, but they really popped when I eventually pulled it back.

Someone called me Marilyn Monroe in a teal dress instead of white
I loved this dress! The 4 was a little loose on my chest and ribs but the 2 fit perfectly- and I didn't have to wear a bra. The shape is gorgeous, and I got a ton of compliments on the classic but sexy look. The only problem I had is the that the fabric had bubbled slightly some places on the front.
