Comfortable and POCKETS
This dress did fit snug at the chest; I had to size up but it is also very comfortable, and the pockets comfortably held my iphone+, keys, blotter and lip gloss without even being able to tell there were pockets. Really pretty dress and I got a lot of compliments.

Love this dress!
I wore the long version of this dress in this color to another event last year and liked it so much that I wanted to wear the shorter one. This dress is super comfy, flattering, and just pretty! Be sure you put this on before attempting hair or makeup, as it goes on over the head and is very tight going on. The fabric is thick, so you can wear with or without a nubra. I did wear spanx, but the dress is really like spanx itself. The color is gorgeous and the cutout at the shoulder is unique. Love this dress and this designer!

Beautiful, versatile, runs-small gown
This really is a gorgeous dress. The fabric is thick and well-sewn. The design is sophisticated and it is flattering. It was sent as a backup when my original dress was not available, and I wish tbe sizes were automatically adjusted for fit when that happens. One size larger and I would have worn this-my husband kept commenting how attractive I was in this dress. :)

Perfection
It's hard to find the right size and profile for jewelry to wear with a fabulous dress. These earrings were perfect with the Kate Artico Gown in Blue. They are big enough to be seen, but not so big as to overpower the look. They are believable but fantastic. Great price point and great product - as always, delivered in their special box and ready to go! I'll be looking for these next time I rent!

Great gown!
I wish I had a great photo of my evening in this gown; it was really beautiful. A little more peacock than the photos here show. It's really a gorgeous, rich shade of blue. Super comfortable, flattering, and unique! Definitely do you hair and makeup after putting on the gown. I was glad I had read that in previous reviews before my event. I wore this gown with the Grey Marabou Capelet, also rented from RTR, and they were great together. This dress really stands out from the sea of black dresses at a formal event, and the thick fabric and close fit is comfortable and flattering. The sleeves are a thinner version of the thick fabric on the rest of the dress, and the neck detail is sexy and flattering. Most of the events I attend involve a room full of professional men, and I like to look sexy and feminine without looking like I'm trying too hard to do so. This dress accomplished that perfectly. Renting this gown was the first time I had ever had ANY issue in two years of using RTR. I received the shipment of my gown and the backup size on schedule. The 42R fit perfectly, but the pleats in the front were torn out. The other size was too big. I contacted RTR immediately, their professional stylists got another dress in the correct size overnighted to arrive just in time for me to leave for the event, and everything was perfect. I'm just so thankful for the GREAT customer service and product you provide here.

Stylish and WARM
I rented this for an event in Chicago on a cold weekend, after realizing that 1) it was going to be really cold and 2) that I really only had thin, black wraps to wear with a formal gown. I rented the grey marabou cape mainly because of the price point. It exceeded my expectations in every way! It is very lightweight, but provided ample warmth for walking into the event, and also we found ourselves at a table directly under the air conditioning vent, which made our table quite cold for the evening. I threw the cape over my shoulders and was stylishly warm all evening. Tons of compliments, too! I'll keep this one on my short list to rent again!

It's perfect
This dress is on point for style, fit, and modesty. It covers everything securely, isn't too short, and is super comfortable. I rented this to wear on date night while on vacation, and it is so much better in person than in the photos! RTR stylists were rock stars for pointing this one out to me; I would have overlooked it otherwise. It does fit large. I usually wear a 6 and the 2 in this dress was perfect. Love this dress!!

Stunning!
This dress was perfect for a formal dinner - the sleeve length allowed for eating without fear of dipping the sleeve in food; the side slit and off-the-shoulder style was just a little sexy without being overt; the color really popped in the sea of black and dark colored dresses. I received many compliments and felt comfortable in the dress.

Comfortable, beautiful dress.
This dress was perfect for a daytime wedding. The 6 was the best fit - the 4 fit a little snugly and would have made me self conscious. in the 6, the dress was a little loose in the hips but fit well up top. The chest is a little more snug than the hips for a pear/hourglass shape for those ladies with curves. It would also be appropriate for business dinners or events. I like that this dress comes in a variety of colors on the site!

Fun jumpsuit for a fun evening
This did run a little large, I usually wear a 6 and the 6R fit okay but was a little saggy in the chest. The 4R was better but slightly short in the seat but not uncomfortable. The zipper and buttons are adorable and also easy to undo for a trip to the bathroom. The length was perfect with 3.5" heels. The compliments came all night over this gorgeous RTR offering. I felt fabulous, secure and comfortable all night and it could easily be dressed up or down from business casual to black tie. This is one of those great pieces that is classic yet stands out anywhere.

What a fun dress, perfect for a party in the city. Comfortable and eye catching.
This dress fit perfectly. I wore it to a private concert/party in Nashville and it had the right mix of fun and intrigue for the occasion. This dress is fitted and more breathable than some of the thicker fabrics popular now, but still held its shape and felt comfortable all night. I wore it with diamond studs and silver sandals.

Winner Winner CEO Dinner
This dress was perfect for a dinner full of CEOs in custom suits and dignitaries. I wanted to fit in while remaining outrageously feminine and this was just the dress. The thick fabric was comfortable and flattering; I never worried about overexposure. It fits in all the right places and has a slim, sophisticated silhouette.
