Fun and flirty
Loved the whole vibe. The material is very unique and has subtle sparkle, so it was perfect for a wedding at a jazz club. The dress part was super fun to dance in too. Nice length as well - I'm short, so not quite midi, not quite long, but I loved it with heels. I am small chested and simply didn't wear a bra. Straps were adjustable and needed re-adjustment during the evening but not too much. Maybe slightly large? So I would size down for the back up. However, if you were larger chested, this would likely not fit, so better for those on the smaller side.

Very pretty, nice sparkle
Very pretty and added sparkle to my black dress. The backs felt a bit loose, but they stayed on well all evening even when dancing. I never wear earrings and was worried they would bother me but they were great.

Beautiful dress for rehearsal dinner (and would work well for a wedding!)
Beautiful. My fam called it the Disney princess dress. If I had blonde hair I may have been a little too "Elsa" but I loved it. It was warm / summer but fabric breathes well and worked despite the "long sleeves." Only complaint is it runs a bit big, especially on top. I have a small chest and was a bit too roomy on top for me, so petite gals, beware if you're on the smaller / skinnier side. It was okay enough though with a padded bra!

Perfect accessory for a wedding weekend
It's a beautiful blush color that sparkles without seeming tacky. Very subtle. Paired with both my rehearsal dinner dress and bridesmaid dress. Perfect. Fit my phone, chapstick, tampon, and cards / cash.

Perfect nice top that can be dressed up or down
Very cute top that is well designed. Classic navy color, but the button details are very nice and the tie lies flat / doesn't wrinkle and makes what is a very short top not feel so aggressive. But it is SHORT. I wore with high waisted skinny jeans and it looked great, but mid or low rise pants or skirts it would probably have exposed my stomach. It hugs you at your natural waist though so I felt very comfortable and didn't have to keep tugging it or anything. Lots of compliments like with any RTR rental. Recommend!

Perfect evening work dress!
Incredibly soft and comfortable. It's fitted so not for a wall flower but I didn't want to hide my pregnancy in a "maternity" dress, I wanted to embrace it! I wore for a full day conference that easily transitioned from day to night. While it shows off curves, it's high necked, hits below knees, and long sleeved so still felt professional. I paired with a blazer and heels for day, a leather coat and heels for night. Only negative is that it does creep up above your knees when you walk but nothing obscene. Just a small annoyance. Red color was beautiful and rich too. Highly recommend !!!

Actually light blue - great for a summer, outdoor Italian wedding
I wore this for my friend Italian seaside wedding. It is actually a very pale blue, so appropriate for a wedding. I'm a new mom and had my infant with me so the jumpsuit aspect was perfect for dealing with a little one but dressy enough to work for a wedding. I really loved! Little long, but with some 2.5 in wedges it was the perfect length. The fit will be a challenge for people though - it is VERY fitted at the waste - juuuust fit - and is somehow both small and big at the top. I'd only rent this if you have a small frame w/ avg sized to small boobs, and/or if you can try it on in the RTR store, and/or can order a back up. Just be careful! Worth it if it fits tho!

Beautiful and ethereal!
Beautiful dress, that works for a more formal affair without being stuffy. It's shear with cut outs/short skirt underneath, but its very subdued. I can imagine a great black tie / formal wedding option for summer. I didn't end up wearing cause I liked my other option more, but would def rent again in the future. Also, it runs long! I was worried about the Petite size, but it was perfect (with low-ish heels). I'd size up for back up.

Best. Jacket. Ever.
Looks great with everything! It is fitted and looks really nice unzipped. It also traveled well - even when balled up in my bag, I'd hang for a bit and wrinkles gone. This is a warmer coat, so good for cooler summer nights or would be perfect for spring/fall. If ever goes on sale 50% will probably buy! Best jacket I've ever worn!

Looks chic but feels like you're wearing PJs!
Loved! So comfortable and easy to move in. Waste is forgiving so good for eating/drinking events. Casual, but the cut and color make it a chic choice that will garner lots of complements.

Classy yet chic!
Wore for a fun work party, so this was a great mix of professional, but still chic and just slightly sexy. Only negative was the pant felt a bit short, but it looked fine with heels. There's little give too, so careful of you use for a big eating and drinking event. Probably should have sized up, but didn't have time to exchange. Also, it's def hard to take on/off - 3 hard to reach buttons and a tie every bathroom trip - but worth it. I wore a nice bandu bra that you could see but looked nice still!

Perfect simple & classy yet just a bit sexy dress for a black tie wedding.
Liked overall. I used the 0R v 2R, so order down a size in case, though it fit perfect. Length as well, but I am on the shorter side, so taller girls may want to do the Long. It is a tad low cut, and while I wasn't falling out of it, I did need to use fashion tape to secure. Note, though, I have a smaller chest and didn't need to wear a bra. Only negative is that sitting in this dress is kinda terrible. The slit, which looks good & tasteful standing up, is really short and revealing when sitting, so I was practically wrapping the dress around my legs to stay covered up. The top area looks a but frumpy sitting too. That said, I was standing and dancing most of the time, so worked out okay!

Good costume for and 80s or disco party
My least successful RTR, but it was for an 80s party and worked out well. I went with the smaller size, but while slightly smaller than what I hoped for, the 2 wasn't an option since it was a) a completely different romper (had silver and black sequins, looser material) and b) reaked of BO. Odd, and unlike what I have gotten and expect of RTR. The one I wore (which seems to be like what the photos on people are wearing) was very bulky & definitely makes you look bigger in the middle than I would have liked. Nothing like the model picture. You also have to shimmy into the romper (no zipper) which made bathroom trips a pain. Again, great for a costume, nothing else though!

Awesome stand-out print, sexy dress for Bachelorette in Vegas
Tight much like a Herve Leger, but way more unique and the fabric was so soft and more moveable & comfortable. Was very hard to pick a dress from this designer since they're all so cool and unique. Classic sexy dress on, and can do a lot with accessories (wore a chunky necklace), but need very little since the print is so loud (in a good way). Go up a size for back up. Will rent this designer again!

Beautiful print and fit and stand out among many maxis
Very pretty print and on trend. The wrap like style at the bottom of the dress makes the fit unique and gives more shape, but does make dancing and walking feel a bit constrained. The top is definitely tight - I have no chest but was a bit squished when wearing a bra (less so bra-less). Would not recommend for someone much bigger than a B cup. Go up a size for at least your back-up. Regardless, gorgeous print, especially for someone with fair skin!

Hot dress for Vegas Bachelorette!
No bra needed and fit tight, good because I wasn't tugging it up all night. Also liked that it isn't a MINI, bit longer/ to knees, so could dance without any issues. Very cool colors too!

Great winter black tie dress for a work event!
I really loved this dress (as I do all BM dresses!) - I had been wanting to try out a long sleeve style for awhile and this was perfect for a November black tie gala for work. It toed the line well of being conservative enough for work - long sleeve, very covered up on the neck & back - but was fitted well and had this tasteful slit in the left front. I will say it runs short (all BM dresses do), so I went with the Long even though I am 5'4" and only wore 2" heels. Fit perfectly. Definitely needs a little splash of color & fun though so be sure to pair with a big necklace (necklace I wore is RTR too) and fun shoes (I wore gold). PS - My colleague in the pic is also wearing RTR!

Way too big!
I ordered the smallest size, 0, and it was way too big - did not have any fit the way it does on the model at all. I'm not that small either - a slighty curvy 120 lb-er, so i wouldnt recommend to anyone remotely small. If it did actually have fit, I think I would have loved it for a girls night out or work event, but alas, beyond help. Good concept, bad execution!

Classy yet fun dress for a RI summer wedding!
Was worried the 0 would be too small, but fit perfectly. Agree with others that it did look slightly "worn" when examined up close - Color a tad faded, knitting a bit stretched, but nothing too noticeable and certainly not to my lovely fiance & other guests. I was also worried the fabric may be too "warm" for a late summer wedding, but for 80 degree weather it was just right. Danced a lot in it too with no issue! Would recommend for something that isn't too in you face, but special at the same time.

Lots of compliments!
I wore this for a black tie affair for work & it was perfect - sexy without being slutty, just fun enough without being obnoxious. I thought the jeweled shoulder might look tacky, but it was beautiful & the dress fit PERFECT. It IS a little short, I am 5'4" 1/2, but I wore kitten heels & it hit the ground juuust right. 100% recommend for a formal event - Very satisfied! Thanks RTR!
