I wore this dress for a dinner out on vacation. The skirt is tight which creates a cute shape and contrast with the more forgiving top. I got lots of compliments on this one!

This is a fun dress - I like the racerback and zipper detail, and the black band in the middle accentuates the waist. I think this dress looks better in person than in photos!

This dress looks black in the RTR photo, but it's actually a very dark green. I like the shape of this dress -- so many sequined dresses are more of a shift shape but I prefer this type of cinched waist.

I wore this little number for Valentine's Day dinner. The 3/4 sleeves helped make it appropriate for cold weather, and the bright pink is a fun change from a plain old LBD. Fit true to size.

Rented this for birthday drinks! It's really cute and looks better in person than online. I had tried on a 4 at the RTR sample sale and knew the dress ran small. The 6 was hard to zip up too, so I strongly recommend sizing up!

I was the maid of honor in a wedding, and the bride requested that we wear black dresses with red shoes. I tried on several options at the RTR showroom (definitely recommend a visit!) The ceremony was outdoors in November so I was aiming to find something with long sleeves. I was surprised (and thrilled!) to like this the best. Though it's obviously sleeveless, the fabric is beautiful and thick which makes it more appropriate for fall (we also lucked out with unseasonably warm weather that day!) The dress is slightly shiny and the pattern is gorgeous -- a fun, surprising change from a plain old LBD. My only complaint is how much the skirt flares out. Because the fabric is so thick, that flare will not be tamed. And it's pretty short so be careful on the dance floor!

Rented this for a fall wedding in the northeast. The colored lace is lovely, and the banded waist creates a nice shape. The dress was very appropriate for a wedding -- cute and fun and on the conservative side. The cap sleeves help it seem less summery. Unlike in the model's photo, I paired this with black heels so I could use a black wrap and clutch. You could wear any kind of undergarments with this dress and be fine.

I wore this on one night of a destination wedding weekend. I would normally order an XS which wasn't available; luckily there are enough ties on this dress at the waist and shoulders that you can play with how it fits. It was pretty short on me but not uncomfortably so. Great for a vacation or summer night out.

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner in Mexico. Most dresses with a drapey top like this one are also loose and drapey below the waist; this dress is more fitted in the skirt which I liked because it creates more shape. It's a light, breezy fabric but could get caught easily on jewelry/bags/etc. Only complaint is that the arm holes are HUGE so when you move your arms, your bra or cami is visible. Not a big problem but I'd rather not have to deal with that. I received lots of compliments including that I looked "very New York" (whatever that means).

I was a little nervous about how bright this dress might be, since photos are never 100% accurate. Turns out it's very close to Big Spender nail polish by Essie - it's a bold purplish pink but not crazy bright, and the dress was flattering on my pale skin tone. Perfect for an outdoor wedding on the beach. It's was pretty short on me and I could wear a normal strapless bra. I rented several dresses for this destination wedding and this was by far my favorite. Can't find it anywhere online so I am going to cross my fingers for the RTR sample sale!

Photos don't do justice for this dress. It was not my first choice and was a pleasant surprise. The V in the front isn't as deep as it looks on the website which is great because I could comfortably wear a normal bra and not worry about being overly exposed or dealing with fashion tape. There's also a nice draping/knotted section of fabric below the sequins that makes the fit very flattering and forgiving. Love the long sleeves for fall/winter parties. Also would be good for travel as the fabric doesn't wrinkle at all. Would rent this again for a holiday event.

I wore this to an event at my college reunion. The fabric is soft with a subtle print. Love the detail of the layered hemline and the option to add straps.

I wore this dress to a college reunion. The cut is more flattering than I expected. The lace detail, particularly on the cap sleeves, adds interest beyond a boring LBD. And the low back and short length take the dress from casual into party/evening wear. I received lots of compliments.
