A little old fashioned for me
Fit really nicely and the colors are vibrant...I just felt like it was something my mom would wear to a wedding! Just wasn't right for me. Maybe the length just hit me in the wrong spot on my leg?? I did not wear it after all

pretty dress
fit really well, no need for special undergarments as the ruffles are very forgiving. it is tricky getting on both the slip and dress on at the same time, at least it took me a couple of tries! turns out the dress was too fancy for the event i was going to so i didn't wear it, but i would very likely rent again for a wedding or gala. not too sure how to tie the long piece around the neck...bow in front or back? i'll figure it out next time i rent it i guess!

Perfect choice
Nice quality and versatile enough to go with almost any dress. They do get twisted occasionally but it didnt bother me. I loked the length so that they could be seen with my dark hair down

Not my favorite but it worked
I wish i had gotten the 0 as my back up - probablynwould have been snug but the torso propprtion would have been better. The 2 was a little to long in the torso for me. Also i thought it was a tad too long in the skirt giving too much volume. I wasnt crazy about the fullness of the skirt. Also i had to use my wraparound black leather belt to break up all the red and to dress it down a bit for my night out.

nice dress for comfy night out
fits large so i went with the 0 mainly because the skirt is quite puffy and gives the illusion of larger hips. Colors were very nice and I could see wearing this to a wedding. I wore to the opera with some nude heels. The fabric is very nice quality and I would recommend it as I got lots of compliments.

Great color - lots of compliments
I got this for a cocktail party but felt like it would have been best for something a little nicer, a wedding perhaps. I definitely stood out in a good way and got lots of compliments. The color is unusual and very appealing periwinkle blue and the ruffle is flattering. I was between the 2 and 4. Went with the 2 because the 4 was too lose at the waist and a bit too long for my liking. The 2 was snug, no spanx with this one because the lines would show so I would recommend to size up since E & J tends to run small.

The dress is very long
the print is very pretty and a little dressier than I expected. the problem is that it is way too long. I'm 5'4" and the XS is so long that even with really high heels it would have been dragging and I would have been tripping over it. The S I got as a back-up was about 1" longer. So I did not wear the dress.

awesome comfy dress!
Color and shape were perfect for a comfortable night having cocktails and sitting at the opera. The cape sleeves were gorgeous and a conversation piece. Dress is figure flattering and I felt really comfortable and pretty.

Cute for a little get together
I ordered the XS & S and went with XS since it was less baggy in the mid-section. Shorts are much shorter than what I'm used to wearing but I think I pulled it off. Love the open back and got compliments on that.

Fun dress
The white is more of an creamy off-white and I found a couple small black spots where it seems that the black dye might have bled into the white. I'm sure this dress has been rented a ton and laundered a ton. Also my preferred size small was not available so I was stuck w the extra small. I squeezed in but would have really rather sized up. All in all it worked out and for the $40 rental it's a steal

Classy and modern
Nice stretch to the fabric. I wanted a 2 & 4 as back up but the 4 wasn't available. The 2 fit perfectly. I think it's a pretty forgiving fabric that is comfy to wear. It's a conservatively cut dress but the pattern gives it a little edge and interest and keeps it from being boring.

Dressed up and not too dressy
Wore for an dinner out at a very nice restaurant. Just the right look that was also comfortable while sitting and eating. I got the 4 as a backup and didn't even try on as the 2 was perfect.

Hot dress
This dress needs to fit tight and snug to show off curves and it did just that. I wore w high heel boots. It's short and tight so it's perfect for a date night or girls night out for drinks. I did also buy the "Braza" strapless angel bra since the back is open. Worked great for the dress

Good for a casual cocktail party
This dress was just OK. The 40 was snug and the 42 fit more comfortably. About an hour into the night the 42 loosened up a lot and by the end was quite loose as you can see in the picture. Wish I would have stuck with the 40. This dress has obviously been rented and dry cleaned a lot as the colors just aren't as vibrant as they once probably were. Black a little faded, etc. it's a flattering dress but i did feel like pattern was a bit dated. Not my fav rental but at $40 I can't complain and it was appropriate for the event.

Did not wear
Perhaps it just wasn't my style. I really had the most difficult time with the clasp. It's tiny! Also you have to clasp it at just the right length in order for the necklace to lay just right on your chest. I felt it looked a little too costume-y for me. Didn't wear it.

Gorgeous
I love this dress. Chic without being over the top dressy. The texture of the fabric is what makes it a winner. I have never gotten so many compliments from strangers on a dress before! So many people stopped me to say they liked the dress!! No special undergarments needed the boning and built in bra strap in the back give you all you need. I'm small chest anyways. My only complaint is that for a $700 retail price dress you think that they would have lined the "low" part of the dress that is visible. I didn't like that you could see the hem. It's one my big complaints with high-low dresses. Other than that, it's a winner and you will stand out in this red color. Wear a bright red lip and some bling around your neck and you'll be set. Very true to size. Ordered a 2&4 and the 2 fit perfectly.

Size needed wasn't available
It's a pretty dress. I wanted the 0 & 2 but since the 2 wasn't available I got the 4. Basically, the 0 was just a bit too snug and the 4 was huge. You can tell this dress has been worn numerous times due to the hidden repairs inside the dress but you would never know from looking at it. It's a really pretty emerald green. I'm 5'4 and the 4r was long. You would have to wear really high heels to not step on it.

Had to go with a different dress in the end so I didn't wear these. It's a shame because they are pretty and a little funky. Maybe another time!

Although I didn't end up wearing the bracelet because it didn't work with the dress, I would own this in a heartbeat. It's delicate and very cool. Can be worn casual or for a night out.

Chic!
Hard to see in the pic because I wore it over a black dress but basically looks as if you've draped a classy black blazer over your shoulders. There are hidden arm holes so you are actually wearing the jacket with the illusion of a cape. It's gorgeous and I will buy this because I can see myself wearing this a lot!

Great bag. Can be worn cross body or as clutch.
The studs give the bag a very cool vibe. For day I wore as cross body and at night I tucked the chain in the bag and used as clutch. Just slip your hand thru the leather strap on the side and it's easy to carry anywhere. Can fit a full size wallet, phone and keys with no problems. My only issue is the the chain link holding the strap to the purse slipped off a couple of times so I had to twist it back on, hopefully someone at RTR can tighten the link with some pliers.
