Very cute dress but tight in upper back/shoulders
This Kate Spade dress is so fun- playful pattern and forgiving A-line shape in the skirt. But let me tell you- it was tight in the upper back/shoulder area for me. I know I have a broad back but I had to have my boyfriend zip me in and it was slightly uncomfortable at first but manageable. Fortunately you can wear a regular bra with this dress no problem (it even has the built in snaps on top of each shoulder so you can keep the straps in place). Received the best compliment from another wedding guest, "You are so pretty, like movie star pretty!" That was enough to make up for the tightness! Order one size up from what you would normally wear and you'll be all set!

Obsessed with this teal Zac Posen dress!
Rented this dress to wear at my boyfriend's sister's wedding. As other reviewers mentioned, the fabric was a little thicker than I anticipated but that didn't bother me. I didn't even need to wear a bra because it fit like a glove up top. Very easy to wear and great for dancing the night away! The straps would occasionally slip off the shoulder for a second but it wasn't something that happened constantly. Oh yes, and it has pockets! If you have blue eyes, you especially must rent this dress- makes them pop! Did not want to send this dress back, would rent again in a heartbeat!

Gorgeous purple lace sheath
This dress was stunning!! I wore it for my boyfriend's sister's rehearsal dinner and from the moment I first put it on to the end of the night, I received compliments left and right! The dress was elegant and classy, could have easily worn for a date night or girl's night out as well. While it is on the shorter side, I never felt uncomfortable or that I was flashing anybody! The dress itself fit like a glove with one exception- the shoulders/upper arm sleeve were pretty tight. I do have a pretty broad back so I anticipated that but I think other RTR reviews mentioned this as well. Overall, I would most definitely rent this dress again!!!!

Loved Loved LOVED wearing this gorgeous plum Nicole Miller dress!!
I perform at a theater that does a huge NYE Gala where all the women are required to wear floor length formal dresses if participating in the event. A fellow performer had recommended RTR and I was telling others about it in the weeks leading up to the event and RTR did not disappoint. The dress arrived promptly on the day I had previously picked out. I had ordered 4R as my original and 2R as my backup (I never received the 2R even though the website said it shipped) and fortunately, the 4R fit like a glove. I was able to wear a strapless bra but you WILL need to have fashion tape for the right/thicker strap/cowl or more droopy side of the dress, otherwise you will be completely exposed. The shoulder strap on the same side was a little looser than the spaghetti strap but nothing dramatic. The plum color is very unique and I definitely stood out; I have never received so many compliments on a dress before! Plus, the dress is very comfortable and I was able to dance the night away without being self-conscious or afraid it would rip or tear. So many of the other performers were blown away by this dress; it's VERY difficult to find a floor length dress during the holidays for a decent price and I had a stress free experience from top to bottom. Thank you, RTR, you have now have a new customer plus the interest of many others!!
