Perfect for Black Tie Optional!
I wore this dress to a Black Tie Optional wedding in February. I rented a 10 & 12, and ended up wearing the 12. The 10 fit pretty well, but ended up wearing the 12 for a bit more room. I wore a comfortable black sports bra and it worked perfectly with the cut of the top. I probably could have gotten away with no bra, but I always prefer to wear one, so the sports bra worked great! The bow in the back was a nice detail and I tied it up a little higher to hide more of my back in the cut out. Overall, this dress was awesome and I received many compliments throughout the night! And of course, the pockets were an added bonus!

Perfect for a Summer Wedding!
Loved this dress! The fit was perfect. I did not wear a bra and felt secure and comfortable all evening. The color and length were great- I received so many compliments! RTR is just the best!

Beautiful movement!
I rented this dress for a Memorial Day weekend wedding. I wore the size MR and it was slightly snug across the chest and midsection, but nothing I couldn't deal with for the night. The LR became unavailable, and if it had come I probably would have worn that size just for a little extra room. The dress was the perfect mix of fancy, but easy. The underneath layer was short, but the overlay didn't make me feel exposed by any means. The slit up the front and the fabric made for beautiful movement as I walked and danced! I got many compliments on the dress. One of my favorite rentals to date!

Comfortable and Chic!
I have never rented or even worn a jumpsuit before, so this was a stretch for me! But I am SO happy I rented it! This jumpsuit made me feel so awesome for a night out at a bachelorette party! I wore the 10, it fit perfectly, and I did not have to wear a bra. The material was thicker, which was perfect for the weather in D.C. the weekend I wore this. The opening on the legs does go all the way up to your butt, but I never felt worried about it. When I sat down, the slits came open, but again, I never felt "exposed". I thought it was sexy and fun, and so did the rest of the girls! I got so many compliments on it! I am SO happy I rented this and will definitely rent another jumpsuit! Great RTR experience, as usual! :)

Best Rental Yet!
I absolutely LOVED this dress. I have rented from RTR many times and this rental was my favorite one yet! The cut on this dress was so flattering and I felt so good it in! Then length was perfect and I loved the sheer top. Other renters commented that they did not wear a bra, but I do not like going bra-less, so my strapless bra worked just fine (mine is lower cut on the sides, which you would need). I rented the 8 & 10 . I ended up wearing the 10 because it just gave a little more space around the middle. LOVED this dress!!!

Unique!
Absolutely loved this dress! One of my favorite rentals to date! I ordered a 10 and 12, and decided to wear the 10. You have to be careful with the bra you wear because the tan lace cuts down lower than most strapless bras go, or at least the one I have. I purchased a low cut strapless bra and it worked perfectly. The length of the dress is perfect, not to short, but still flirty and fun. The color is amazing and the detail on the dress is even more amazing! I got so many compliments on this dress! Another RTR win!

Pretty
This dress is really pretty! I love the color and the style of the dress is great. I got this dress overnighted to me after my original rental didn't work. I sized up based on the previous reviews. However, the dress still didn't work for me. The sleeves are very tight, but so it the armpit area, so you can't lift your arms above your shoulders. Had I been going to an event that did not include dancing, I probably would have worn this. I was attending a wedding and I needed to be able to raise my arms up to dance! ;) Would definitely try this again, but size up again knowing how small it runs because it is really a pretty dress!

Loved it! But, didn't wear it.
I loved this dress! The polka dots were so sweet and the style of the dress was great! However, the overall fit of the dress caused me not to wear it. I ordered the 12. The rib cage was very tight and the little clasp would not stay put. The zipper came down a bit and would not stay up. Even with the rib cage being so tight, the top of the bust on the dress stuck out. My favorite part of the dress, the polka dot overlay, did not fit properly. It was very loose and would fall open on the front of the dress. The straps were loose and would fall off my shoulders. I love this dress so much and was disappointed that I couldn't wear it!

Beautiful!
This dress was perfect for an outdoor wedding! It transitioned nicely day to night just by adding a shawl. I rented the 10R and it fit very well, true to size. I am a 36C and probably could have gone without a bra, however I do not like not wearing a bra so I wore a low cut strapless bra and it worked perfectly. The straps were adjustable and it made it easy to get the desired fit in the bust area. The length was just to the floor, I am 5'3", and that worked well for me since I wanted to wear flats anyway. I got many compliments on the dress! Definitely one of my RTR favorites!

Beautiful Dress!
This dress was perfect for a May evening wedding. It had just the right amount of elegance while still remaining flirty and fun. I got many compliments! I went with the 12 because the 10 was a bit too tight across the bust and would have been uncomfortable for the night. I loved that I could still wear a normal bra and the dress was forgiving after a delicious dinner :) As always, RTR was excellent! Can't wait for my next rental!

Great Third Backup!
I received this dress after my original rental as well as the two back ups did not make it to me in time. The customer service at RTR was wonderful in making sure I was sent a comparable dress. The fit on this dress was pretty true to size. It was slightly snug in the bust (I am a 36D/DD). I could wear a regular bra with it, which was a huge plus for me. The length was perfect and the pockets were great for holding my phone and lipstick! I definitely recommend this dress. I got lots of compliments on the color!

Great color!
I wore this dress for a bachelorette party. It was the perfect color (we were all supposed to wear pink) and I loved the lace. The cut of the dress is not normally one I wear...the seam was in an interesting place, but it did create a fun flair to the bottom of the dress. I got many compliments on the lace and the color of the dress. As always, the renting process was easy and I love the new bag the dresses come in! Such a great idea eco-friendly idea! :) LOVE RTR!!!

Great Dress!
I rented this dress for an evening wedding in Pittsburgh. It was a huge hit! My husband loved me in it and said it was very flattering! I loved the cut/shape of the dress...I think it would be flattering on most body types. It was a little tight right around the seam in the middle, but other than that, it was a great fit! I got many compliments throughout the night. It was fun to dance in and looked great the whole evening. Another wonderful rental from RTR!

Sparkly and Fun!
This was a great dress to rent for a chilly evening wedding. The material was very comfortable. I felt that it was a bit short on me even though I am only 5'3". I still really love wearing it and felt great in it! The sparkly V-neck stood out. Lots of compliments! I love RTR!

SO MANY COMPLIMENTS!
The fit of the dress was exactly as stated in previous reviews. It was snug in the arms and snug on the seam under the bust. I order the 10 (my usual size) and the 12 and ended up wearing the 12 because of the tightness of the arms. I absolutely loved this dress and was comfortable all night! I got so many compliments throughout the whole evening. I am so happy with this rental and I can't wait to rent again! Thank you RTR! The picture does not show the true color. The wedding had lavender up-lighting, so it altered the look of the dress in the photo. The dress is a beautiful bright blue!
