Showstopper
I wore this for a very upscale black tie wedding. It felt like the perfect "in-between" dress - not a cocktail and not full length. The green stood out in a sea of black and blue. Sucks you in, but wear spanx and size up. Was pleasantly surprised to see my hip dips didn't show, it definitely accentuates your hour glass figure.

SO CUTE
Great fit, got tons of compliments. A little scandalous if you're busty, but I was among friends in a warm climate so it was fine. I would size up to be safe, it hugs the curves.

Cute but funny gap at the back kept it from being amazing
This gapped at my back, which looked kind of funny from the side. Otherwise it was cute and comfy. Got a few compliments, but not the same amount I normally get from RTR. Overall, it did the job but probably wouldn't rent again.

Bridal Shower Chic
This dress made me feel super glam! It fit well, but I was disappointed by the slight fraying around the ends of the sleeves. It's also not a summer dress--I was definitely sweaty! Probably better for a more temperate day or occasion.

Flattering but a few things to consider
Really enjoyed wearing this dress. Lots of compliments. Two things that bothered me-- (1) the slit is so high you can forget about wearing spanx. That means the flow is a little less flattering than it otherwise could be. (2) not breathable at all. We were in Tahoe in July, and I had sweat rolling down my legs. Don't rent if you're going to be in a hot climate--it would work better for a more temperate wedding.

Loved it so much!
The fabric is high quality, the color is rich, the structure of the dress is high quality and falls beautifully. I loved it. So many compliments.

Night at the symphony, hoped for a bit more coverage
I'm a 32DD and as you can see from the photo, my hair is strategically placed in front of my chest. It was just too much "out and about" for me, and for the occasion. The dress fell nicely and had a unique almost long, almost tea length style that I liked for the fact that it's refreshing to try something new. Would recommend if you're a little less endowed in the chest--certainly wasn't the dress's fault that I felt scantily clad!

Engagement Party Dress!
Got a lot of compliments on this one and felt amazing. But the fabric seemed slightly faded, which is why I marked it down a star. On the plus side, was told by many people to buy this! So if it's reaching the end of its RTR life, I may consider keeping an eye out on the sales section ;)

Not my fave
Fit me poorly. The Small was too tight in the arms and shoulder area, but the Medium was too baggy around the middle. The open back is gorgeous in theory, but gapped oddly. I felt uncomfortable the whole night. That being said--love RTR, always have, always will. I'll definitely be back--just not to rent this dress!

Stunning!
Wore this to a friend's birthday party. Loved everything about it, from the fit to the material. This dress is top notch. My bust felt a little vulnerable in the large, so opted for the medium, which worked great and kept everything in. Not sure if I'd recommend spanx--the material already does a great job of conforming to your body in a flattering way. All in all, would definitely rent again!
