Love the stretch!
I wore this for my bridal shower and loved how I felt! The fabric has a nice stretch and that fitted to my curves fabulously.

Great look... with a side of bathroom challenges
Rented this for my boyfriends' birthday party at a lounge in the summer. I didn't want to be too fancy nor did I want to be underdressed so this was just right. Practical tip: the zipper in the back goes nearly to the top so yoga arms or assistance, maybe required when you use the bathroom. P.S. My boyfriend loved the outfit and proposed that night. No guarantee the two things are related- but I have great memories in this outfit!

Perfect Winter Wedding Look
The color is rich, and not your typical little black dress. The dress is classy with just enough sexiness to make you feel comfortable in a family friendly setting. The BEST part was the fabric, thick and giving to hug and hold your curves just right.

Loving the cut outs
I am a big fan of the cut out trend but at a size 12, it's not always an option that is flattering. The fabric of this dress has some stretch so it was comfortable while at the same time being fun and sexy. At 5'7 I was a little conscience of the length of the dress, so I paired it with stockings and knee high black boots. I wore it for a girls night out, in a dimly lit lounge, so you couldn't really tell the dress is navy blue so I pulled it off.

Not as flattering as on the model
I ordered the large and medium, and didn't find either of them particularly flattering. It looks great on the model but on me the top was loose on the large which was surprising/disappointing, and then the medium was too tight on the bottom. Oh well onto the next!

Fun and Comfy NYE!
I wish the 12 had been available because the 14 was pretty loose. It was a last minute rental for New Year's Eve so I made it work with red heels and accessories. Fun look for a great price.

Perferfectly conservative with edge
The think material has a nice stretch, so the dress is form fitting yet comfortable. Another plus is I was able to wear the dress without a bra. There were a couple stains on the back but not noticeable enough for me to worry about them. Great for those work holiday parties, where you want to be professional and fun. I paired it with gladiator heels and a red handbag to spice it up.

Great for a winter event
I'm usually a 12 or 14, so after reading reviews I sized up and got a 14 and 16- and I'm glad I did. The 14 just fit and didn't require that I wear a bra or spanx which is always a plus! The 16 would have required a strapless bra but it felt too loose, especially in the sleeves. The open back and lace gives it a sexy vibe while the length, neckline and long sleeves keep it classy. Be gentle when you are putting it on and taking it off the hooks in the back can get caught in the lace.

Completed the look!
I wore this with the Halston Heritage Purity Flower Sheath which has a fabulous back but looks very plain in the front. This necklace added just the right amount of sparkle so I looked just as nice coming as I did leaving : )

Months later and I still get compliments!
At the last minute, my usual size 12 was unavailable. RTR did what they could to get me another dress but I ended up going for a smaller size instead because I love the back of this dress. I'm glad I did because I felt fabulous. Although there isn't much stretch in the material the shape of the dress if forgiving which is why I was able to use the smaller size.

Great choice for a military ball that had a several "wardrobe guidelines".
I'm 5 ft 6.4 inches tall so I wasn't sure if I should get regular or long. Also, I was nervous because the event was on a boat and I didn't want to get tripped up. I requested the 12 long and 14 regular. The 14 was short and loose while the 12 fit like glove. There were some stray threads from previous wear which I cut off. I was given several guidelines for what I could wear as a guest for this particular military ball. This dress was conservative enough and I felt very comfortable with my choice.

The cut outs make this dress fun.
Wore this dress for a dinner date. The dress is fitted, yet comfortable and the cut outs give hints of sexiness without showing too much- perfect for a date night.

Fun and easy to wear
Wore this for a dinner and dancing date night. It was fitted and yet forgiving (I ate well that night). The white skirt poofs just enough to add a fun flare to a simple style.

Love the slimming optical illusion of this dress.
The dress was a little more worn than previous rentals but my date was at a dimly lit restaurant so I was ok with wearing it. The way to hugged my body, while at the same time being forgiving as I enjoyed my yummy dinner date made me think this was a solid choice.

I wore this for a conference banquet.
Very cute. The dress was a little tight for me, but I was in a crunch so I wore it any way.

Golden Choice for work party
According to a co-worker at the event I was "idolized by my friends and despised by my enemies" in this dress. I loved the keyhole in the back. The fit was touch and go as I reached my bust line, but once I got it up it was smooth sailing! A great & unique dress for my job's winter party.

My favorite part of RTR is the moment when you unzip the bag and see the dress you've been picturing for days in person!
I rented this LBD for New Year's Eve because I didn't know what I was going to be doing, and I thought it was simple enough to dress it up or down. I ended up going to a masquerade party and was able to add accessories that were a great match. The product details describe the dress as "Dark Chocolate" but its black as far as I'm concerned. The fabric is light with a little stretch. Bonus feature... the straps go down through the dress and accentuated the booty.
