Fun, flowy fabric for a unique look

This was a cute dress. The long was definitely way too long and had so much fabric. The chest area is very thin, so you would need some sort of pasties or something as going without would not work. More on the casual side than I'd expected. I didn't end up wearing ( was my back-up dress) but very pretty.

Unique piece with some design issues

The pants and hips are oddly tight on this jumpsuit. I thought I wasn't going to get this past my hips!! Once I did, it was the ankles that were uncomfortably tight. Very weird fit. The top was a bit loose, and the cut outs on the side (which I conceptually loved) just made it saggy on the sides. I ended up not wearing this one.

Dramatic back, for the win!

This is truly a sheath style. Not a ton of shape to the front, though super cute and oh my - the back. The back! The material and the back made this feel super fancy. Really stood out at my bridal brunch in a fun, fabulous way. Just had to be aware that it bunched up a tad in the middle when sitting down, but was manageable. I ended up going with a size smaller since the cut made it run a bit large. It did make it tighter on my thighs, but it was still comfy for a long day and not at all a problem. Such a fun rental!

A touch of color. An accent of awesome.

I wanted a little bit of color to pop against the white dress I rented for my bridal shower and this did just that! It fell nicely against the dress. It wasn't too big as to feel heavy or to wide as to be awkward. Just perfect, as expected!

Iridescent and fun, for the win!

I had no idea what would go well with a hot pink sequined dress. Thankfully, RTR Mystery Bling came to my rescue! I never would have thought to rent these, but they were so fun, and just perfect to accompany this flashy dress.

Fun pink sparkles that helped this bachelorette shine!

I was worried when they didn't have the equivalent of a size 2 available, so I gambled with the 0 equivalent (38) based on the reviews here. They didn't steer me astray! The dress fit perfectly. It's a straight bottom, but doesn't hug your legs super tight, which was nice to find. As others indicate, there is no zipper so putting this on before getting my hair done was key. There's a lining on the dress, which helped to keep it from riding up and ensured it didn't scratch up my legs either. Such a perfect rental - at $30 it was a steal. Helped to make me feel extra special on this special day!

All about the details - from the zippers on the skirt to the pattern!

Woah - I was so glad that the larger size was available. My typical size was so small I barely got it on and it was painful to get off. The material is stretchy but very constricting, if that makes sense. The material is also thick - making it nice for a winter photo shoot but would probably be a negative come summertime. I loved the zippers that went all around the skirt and allowed you to adjust how open it is along the skirt. So fun! I thought they were decorative only, but no - they are functional! The pattern pops nicely, especially in photos. Fun rental. Again, Opening Ceremony did not disappoint.

Form fitting sparkle with a fun, daring back!

I was totally bummed when my usual size wasn't available a few days before New Year's eve, but was pleasantly surprised that this one ran a bit bigger on me (makes sense with the open back style of this dress) so the smaller dress worked perfectly. The sequins didn't bother me and I felt fabulous all night. Was sad to send it back!

Fun, flirty dress paired + vibrant blue fabric = the perfect dress for photos!

I've been wanting to rent this dress for AGES and was thrilled to have an excuse. My fiance and I opted to do another round of pre-wedding photos and this ended up being perfect for it. The dress was super flattering. I was glad I had the one size smaller though. It has boning up top and even a couple of hooks to fasten an under layer, so I decided something snug and secure up top worked better versus going with the larger size, which was larger up top as well. The dress was super comfortable and I felt like the material looked even nicer in person, which was a huge plus. Was so so sad to send this one back!

Emergency dress, FTW!

So I was a bit panicked when my chosen NYE dress fit just a bit too snug. The RTR team was wonderful in suggesting this alternative, which I felt like was undersold on the website and in some of the reviews versus my experience. I found this dress just perfect. The one shoulder style made it stay in place all night long without my ever having to think of adjusting anything. It works well with a simple strapless bra. The material isn't super thick, but the texture to it and the finish made it dressy enough for NYE. I liked the longer length on it, as it was quite cold in NYC this evening. Highly recommend this one.

Shiny & stands out in the crowd!

Hated to send this one back! It was absolutely gorgeous. The metallic fabric looked even more gorgeous in person and looked great in photos. The v-neck was prominent, but the fabric was thick enough that I did not need a bra. The skirt was super cute and flared - short and fun, but not so much so as to not be comfortable. I wasn't familiar with the brand beforehand, but I am a fan now!

Gorgeous fabric! Size up.

Based on other reviews, I figured I needed to size up one size. Unfortunately that was not available. I am usually a size 2, and that one would not even go past my hips. Two sizes up was a bit bunchy in the mid-section, but would have likely worked had this not been sleeveless. I am confident the 4 would have worked had it not been NYE and it had been in stock. Loved the fabric on this one! I can totally see why it photographed so well for others.

My size in this dress must not exist!

I ordered both an XS and the Small. The XS was crazy small, and the Small fell down on the top - which does not work well for a formal event where you will be dancing. Yikes! I say "runs small" but that's not consistent across all of the sizes since the small was so big. Would likely work better if you are my height with a bigger bust. The material was very pretty though, which was nice. Slightly less mutlicolored than it appeared online - more of just straight black and gold. Seemed to be more of a youth cut than for a woman. Thankfully a plan B is en route from RTR!

Amazing dress I hated to send back!

This dress was even cuter in person than a photo can capture. The material was on the thinner side, but not a problem. Fit was very true to size. I liked the very small dotted pattern, which made it dressier without being a true "in your face" pattern. I cannot say how much I love this dress. Definitely recommend!
