Travels well and does not wrinkle

Relaxed fit. Missing slip and sash so I wore it as a duster over high waisted shorts and a lace bralette.

Showstopper

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling so rented the 2 as a backup size. Even thought I fit in the 0, I wanted to be able to eat dinner so wore the 2. The 2 was roomier in the hips but I still had to unzip the entire gown to use the restroom because the fishtail tightens at the knees.

For the Tall

I could barely pull this off, odd fit. It just fit in the waist. Was large in the bust so I wore padded cups. I'm 5'4" and had to wear platform heels to make the length look ok. The color is fantastic and I think it's a fabulous cocktail dress. One of the few times I wish I was 2 inches taller to really due it justice.

Perfect party dress

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling. This dress stretches and is so forgiving. You can wear a regular bra and it doesn't wrinkle. I have rented this dress in several colors, it's a style I return to over and over.

Showstopper

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling, luckily this dress does stretch. It's not really my taste and I can't even say that I personally loved it but it suited the occasion, girls night out in Vegas. But I look great in v-neck styles and have fantastic legs. Every man that sees a picture of me in this dress wants to meet me. It looks silver, gold, platinum, etc. depending on the lighting and camera settings…like a matte cuff. It's heavy because of the sequins but great for colder weather.

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling so was happy that this dress was forgiving. I went to dinner in this dress after my party. A man in a car saw me crossing the street to the restaurant. He approached me when I went to the bathroom at the end of dinner and told me that he went home, changed and came back to the restaurant because he had to meet me. Yeah, I rocked this dress.

Super Chic

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling so knew that I would need a 2. It was still tight in the waist, no stretch in the waist band. That said, it was so classy. I wore it to a cocktail party at Tiffany's and it managed to be a breath of fresh air. Since then I have scoured the site for tea length dresses. The fabric falls beautifully.

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling so knew that I would need a 2 since I have rented this dress before. The armholes are small so I wore the 2 I had ordered as backup even when I fit into the 0 previously. This dress looks best when it's fitted but not skin tight.

Unforgettable

I am normally a 0 but gained 5 lbs traveling. I squeezed into a 0 but could not breathe and sat up stick straight lifting my shoulders to prevent back fat. The wires in the built in corset were also threatening to puncture my lungs. All this and I still wore it because the colors and construction are breathtaking. I can't wait to either lose 10 lbs or rent it in a size 2.

I am normally a size 0 but gained about 5 lbs traveling. The 2 was quite generous so perhaps not as form fitting and flattering but I did eat as much as I wanted. The tulle was long in front which made it tricky to navigate.

These are the lightest earrings of the ten I have rented from RTR so far. An amazing design detail is the way the earring hook holds the hoops facing forward.

I've never been so happy that what I picked out was unavailable. These were offered as substitutes for my St. Patrick's Day look. The color is vibrant, looked so amazing against shiny black hair. Truly wonderful to find earrings that have real character to them. Straight men complimented me on these.

Large Necklace

This is the mystery bling that came with two dresses I rented, Smoking Shoulder Dress from Catherine Malandrino and Ruched Ruffle Sweetheart Dress from Laila Azhar. There were shipping problems so I didn't get to wear the dresses to anything but I did try them on. The necklace was nice enough but I don't think it went particularly well with either dress. The neckline of the Catherine Malandrino dress was too straight across and busy with the ruffling already. And it just didn't seem to elevate the Laila Azhar dress in any way. Would go better with something else.

Conservative dress

This ran large on me. I had to add a skinny black belt to help it along. The hem had fallen in the first dress I received so RTR sent me a second. I wore it to a professional networking event. Since it's pretty conservative on top that balanced the shorter length of the skirt. It's a simple dress that really didn't do much for my straight and narrow figure.
