MY GRADUATION COLORS
I rented this dress for my nursing school graduation, and was pleased with the fit and comfort. I actually rented this as a backup in case I didn't like a dress that I purchased. I tried it on the morning of the event and didn't even put the other dress on. This photo is not a good one, but most of the photos were taken with my cap and gown, so I don't have many to choose from. It really was a comfortable, light dress. I will say that it was kind of warn, and the white was not a vivid white anymore. I read reviews that the black looked navy. I disagree, but it was a bit faded. I would rent this again, especially if they had it in different colors.

If you have a chest, this dress is not for you.
This dress is well made, quality materials. It does have a small crinoline layer that gives the dress it's shape, so it isn't like some dresses that fall flat compared to their pictures. The fit was fine through the body; true to size. The only issue with the fit was the chest. Not made for women with more than a B cup. I am a 34 D, and I was squeezed flat, and it was very unflattering. I was unable to wear a bra with the dress because there wouldn't have been enough room for it. I received a couple of compliments, but I really didn't care for this dress with my figure.

A let down
I have been an avid RTR customer, and still to this day send my praises. Unfortuntely, this experience was a fail. I rented two dresses for my first trip to Las Vegas. I was so excited to get these dresses, and after my last misadventure with RTR, I made sure to call and speak to a customer service agent to ensure that my shipment would go smoothly. I was guaranteed that my shipment would come to my new address and that there were going to be no issues with my rental. This didn't happen...the dresses shipped to the wrong address, and my vacation was ruined as I had no time to replace the dresses. Seriously let down.

This was my original backup dress; RTR saved the day
RTR saved the day by sending a 6R and 8R as a third shipment when my original dress wasn't available and all other backups didn't fit. I went with the 6, as the 8 was too big. I did get compliments in the dress, but felt like I was pulling the top up all night while dancing. Also, the boning inside of the dress was murder as it was poking through the fabric (which apparently has been an issue with this dress because you could see where the lining had been patched up to fix this issue). Overall I liked this dress, and though it was a stressful experience renting this time (usually they are great), customer service really pulled through and took care of me.

This was my back up to my back up
When my original dress was not available and my back-up dress didn't fit (and the additional backups RTR sent didn't work) RTR graciously rushed this dress to my rescue. Unfortunately it fits really small. It would have been a great backup for the Right on Key dress.

Sexy little Versace
I would rent this dress again, but what is the fun in that?! This was a great dress that looks better in person than in photo. Really comfortable. RUNS SMALL. I rented the equivalent of the 4 and 6 and wore the larger of the two. Form fitting but the material isn't stiff. Wore to an outdoor wedding on a hot night and wasn't uncomfortable. Note that it is really hard to tell if the black is truly black or a really deep navy. Loved that I could say that I was wearing a Versace. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because both of the dresses had some wear and tear. One was snagged and the other had some pilling where previous renters' statement necklaces have chewed up the fabric.

I use the heck out of it!
I love RTR. I can't get enough! I have now rented 5 or 6 dresses in the past 4 months, and have really enjoyed the experience. Even on the occasions where my rentals didn't work out, RTR has always found a was to make me feel valued as a customer, which keeps me coming back time and time again.

Perfect dress for my boyfriend's winter graduation
I received many compliments on this dress from women. Note: I was told on multiple occasions that I looked like a Victoria's Secret shopping bag, as well as a senator's wife. Modest, appropriate, and pretty.

Perfect dress for the occasion
I rented this dress as my birthday rental and ended up wearing it to speak with my State Senator at a Lobby night. I paired it with a dark grey blazer. The dress was the right combination of modest, simple, and pretty. It was a very light weight dress, and was a bit chilly to wear out in the snow, but I had a great coat to keep me warm. I wasn't a big fan of the material, as it wasn't very lux and didn't feel that great of quality, but overall the dress was perfect for the occasion to which I wore it.

WHAT A SURPRISE
I rented a dress for my birthday and RTR surprised me with this necklace rental to go with my dress. As always I'm blown away by the customer service of RTR. Thank you so much for making my outfit feel even more special!

If you want something professional and pretty
I rented this dress for a professional function and intentionally paired it with a black blazer (as well as black tights as it was snowing). I received many compliments. I didn't have many issues with the cap sleeves as many other renters had mentioned, but I did wear a size up as I usually wear a 4. This is the type of dress you wear when you want to make a modest statement.

I have a lot to say about this dress...
I selected this dress for a holiday party. As always, when that brown box shows up on the doorstep I must try them on. I thought that it was going to be a deep blood red, but it was more of a brownish eggplant color. I want to note that this is the second time that the dress that I happened not to wear was damaged in some way, this time with threads broken and loose sequins. I went with the small which fit great in the bottom area, but was loose in the top. (This is the second time that has been an issue, which is strange because I'm a 34D.) I chose to wear this dress with the V in the back despite the awkward fit because of the way that the V only came mid cleavage. Because of the awkward fit on the top, I kept having to make sure that the tag wasn't showing in the front. Oh, and my underarms are raw from the unlined sleeves. OUCH. I thought choosing this dress for a winter event would be a great idea, but it was really warm and at times uncomfortable. At the end of the day, I was told that I looked great, so fashion over function ladies. It really is a pretty dress despite it all.

Wore this dress to a Hunger Games themed fall formal.
Needed a colorful dress for this event, and was so CAPITOL. I go a ton of compliments and felt great in this dress. Really comfortable. I ordered the S and M, and both fit great. I ended up wearing the M because there was a hole and a stain on the S. It was a little big in the top (which is crazy to say because I'm a 34D). Tried double sided tape to keep it up, but the material didn't favor the sticking. Also, if you are planning on wearing hose, the front seam (or any seam that you wear under this dress) will show. Keep everything completely seamless. As for dancing, I did my fair share, and this is the kind of dress that you will want to keep an eye on for rising. If you have extra "love" going on, this isn't the dress for you, as it shows every curve. Super flattering for the hourglass figure.
