AMAZING!!
This dress was one of the best dresses I've ever rented! I'm on the shorter side (5'2") so high-lows tend to work well for me, and this was no exception. Size-wise, the 0 fit but was a bit snug, so I ended up wearing the 2 and it was great. On top of that, the colors are absolutely stunning! I wore it to a wedding in Italy and received a ton of compliments. I highly recommend this dress - you will not regret it!

Elegant and Fun!!
This dress is is really beautiful! Although I didn't end up wearing it for my event (the other rental was a bit more venue-appropriate), I will likely rent this it again for a NYC event. The fit was great but for someone my height the length was a little long - even with 3.5-4" heels it may still drag on the ground a bit. The back is really fun and keeps it young, and the beading along the waist is a great detail, though like other reviewers said, it's really difficult to zipper that part. I would definitely recommend this dress for a formal event!

Gorgeous Coral Dress
I really liked this dress! The color is much brighter in person and really stands out in a good way. It's perfect for a summer wedding. The 0 was a bit snug on me, but the 2 was really loose, so I opted for the 0. Some other reviewers mentioned the dress coming to a point in the chest area - it did not happen when I wore the 0 but it did happen when I tried on the 2, and it was quite noticeable. I'm short and was concerned about the length, but it ended up hitting at a great point and looked really nice. I would totally rent this again!

Perfect Body-Hugging Dress for Spring/Summer
I loved this dress! I rented it for an anniversary dinner with my fiancé and it was a great choice! The 38 was the best size for me - it's very stretchy and would have fit me even if I were a little bigger. It definitely rides up, but that wasn't a huge issue for me because of my height. As some other girls have mentioned, the arms are baggy towards the top, but I was able to hide it by scrunching the sleeves up, which worked well. I totally recommend this dress and would buy it if I could!

Perfect Summertime Sheath!
I absolutely adored this dress! I wore it to my friends bridal shower in the summertime and it was beyond perfect. The color is bright and summery, the cut was fantastic on my shape, and it was comfortable enough to host in for several hours. The mesh cutouts in the shoulder were a cute detail. I would absolutely rent this again!

Fun & Flirty Pastels
I wore this dress to an early summer wedding and loved it. I was between the 38 and 40 but ultimately went with the 40 as the 38 was a little too tight in the chest and neck area. It was a little loose in the tummy but didn't look bad at all. The fabric is beautiful and the colors and print are so feminine and gorgeous. I wore it with gold open-toed heels and minimal accessories. I would definitely rent this again!

Classy LBD with a fun twist!
I rented this dress for my office holiday party and really loved it! The fit was great - I could have gone with the 0 but it was a smidge too tight to be comfortable all night, so the 2 was the better choice for me. It was a great length on my 5'2" frame, and was never in danger of being too short. I received many compliments on it and it was a lot of fun to wear. I would highly recommend this dress and would rent it again for the right occasion!

Gorgeous dress that makes you stand out!
This dress was stunning! I wore it to a black tie wedding on New Year's Eve and received a ton of compliments! The fit in the body was perfect - not too tight or too loose. I did have to safety pin the hem up an inch or so, even wearing three inch heels, but that's pretty typical for me. I would highly recommend this dress and would certainly rent again for the right occasion!

Sexy LBD
This dress was nice, and my boyfriend certainly loved it, but it wasn't my favorite rental. My main concern was that it kept riding up as I walked - I was continuously pulling the hemline down and adjusting, which is frustrating to have to do. Also, as others have mentioned, the sleeves are extremely long, but it was a quick fix to simply tuck them under. On a positive note, the material was great - it was very form-fitting and hid any areas that I tend to be self-conscious about. The mesh back and cutouts are very sexy without being over-the-top. I liked the dress but would not rent it again.

The most stunning black gown!
This is hands-down my favorite RTR rental yet! I rented it for a formal gala that took place at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. The fit was perfect! I wore 4" heels and, with those, the dress dragged on the ground behind me the tiniest bit, but I loved the effect. You couldn't see as much of the front of my leg as you can see on the model, but it still looked beautiful and the hi-lo effect was evident. The fabric is GORGEOUS - you can't easily tell from the pictures but it's a matte black jacquard with the most subtle pattern that adds so much to the already beautiful material. I got compliments on it all night long and would rent this dress again in a heartbeat! Thank you RTR!

Beautiful Accessory
I rented these to go with the BCBGM MaxAzria Feminine Floral Gown. They were a great addition and added a little sparkle to the softness of the dress. They were not too large or heavy, which I appreciated. I would definitely rent these again. Thanks, RTR!

Classic Red Dress
I rented this dress for my company holiday party and was very happy with it. The overall fit was great but note that this dress hits the model on the knee, so if you are on the shorter side it will definitely hit you below that. It is already a bit conservative (in my opinion) and the longer length added to that, but our venue was formal so it was okay for me. The material is rather thick so it feels like it holds everything in place and shows off your curves at the same time. There is a fun zipper detail down the entire back that I somehow missed when browsing the pictures. Overall, while this was not my favorite dress, it was a solid rental for a formal holiday party. If you are looking for something conservative in a great color this is a fantastic option!

Gorgeous Green
I rented this dress as a back-up but it was so pretty that I had a really hard time choosing! The dress fit perfectly and the material is absolutely gorgeous. The black lace overlay on top of the stunning metallic green make such an amazing combination! (and lend it to being a very good holiday-season dress) While I did not end up wearing this dress I highly recommend it. Definitely another hit, RTR!

Cute Party Dress
I rented this dress for a NYE dinner date with my boyfriend. I usually wear a size 0 but after trying the 0 on decided to go with the size 2. Even then, the 2 was a bit small on me, so I would generally say that this dress runs small. Though you can't tell from the picture, the materials is very thin. While that makes the dress light (which is not the case for many sequined dresses) it does make it feel a little cheap. This was not my favorite dress, but I think if you are looking for a cute dressy party outfit, this dress is a decent choice.

Perfect Sheath with a Pop of Color
I rented this dress for a friends spring wedding and it turned out to be a perfect selection! It was a great length on me, but I am 5'2" so I would be wary if you are any taller. The color was beautiful and even though it is a sheath dress the size zero was quite fitted. I would agree with other reviews that the arms are somewhat tight, so be aware of that - it may cause you to go one size up. I got many compliments on it and would definitely recommend this dress - especially if you are similar in size. Overall another great rental from RTR!

Beautiful Gown
I rented this dress for a friends wedding in NYC and it turned out to be one of my favorite rentals. The colors are amazing and when you combine it with the fabric it creates a gorgeous, elegant and soft piece. I got tons of compliments on it all night long (even from the bride!) and felt very confident in it. I was a bit nervous about the length (I am on the shorter side so gowns tend to be difficult for me) but it turned out okay - I was able to use a few safety pins to pin it up an inch or so all around and nobody was able to tell. I did notice the layers folding up every once in a while, like others mentioned, but it was not a big deal at all - you just smooth them back down. Overall another great RTR experience! I would definitely rent this again!

Perfect Sexy LBD
I wore this dress for my 27th birthday party, which was dinner at a restaurant followed by drinks, and it was perfect! The material felt great - it was a bit thick (which is nice in the winter) but still stretchy, so it hugs you at your curves. It hit at a great length on me - short enough to be sexy but not too short that you're worried about showing anything off. I rent from RTR all the time and this is still one of my favorite rentals!
