Bunchy and Baggy
One of the worst dresses I have rented. It looks like you can adjust the waste but you can’t. It’s just too big and too open at the top and bunched around my middle and much shorter in the front slit than I expected. The only positive was the fabric. It was light and airy, and the way the train flowed as I walked around was dreamy.

Too Big in Some Areas
I rented this dress for a wedding. It was perfect for a summer wedding that was 50% outside and 50% inside. I rented a 4 and a 6 and both fit and didn't fit in the odd places. I ended up wearing the 6 - bing able to take a deep breath was the deciding factor. The 6 wasn't great though. It was really big around the neck and under the arms (great if you have a large bust) but very tight and pinched my back a bit. The color is great and photographed well. It does make a "swoosh" sound every time you move. Best of all it had pockets - you could see a phone outline but it wasn't too bad. I carried lipstick, tissues, a few bobby pins, etc with no issue.

Heavy and Warm
I ordered this dress in two sizes 4 and 6. The 6 was delayed and the the 4 was too small. Even if the dress had fit I don't think I would have worn it for the Gala I was attending. It's a thinker fabric and very warm. I found the high neck was too high for some with a short-average size neck. But the pockets are GREAT!

Tight in the Wrong Places
If you have a longer torso this might not work for you. Once I got it buttoned (which was tricky) I was getting pinched in the inseam area and under the arms when I reached to adjust my hair. The pant part of this jumpsuit was very comfortable and very light weight. I also care my weight in my belly and with the open back, it just made me look pudgy.

30th B-Day Bash
Word this super cute floral jumpsuit for my 30th birthday! It was super flattering on, I got lots of compliments. The floral design helps hide any imperfections you may have in your midsection. Is made of a light fabric they had a bit of movement which was perfect for a warm Spring night in Downtown Dallas. I would love to order this again just waiting for the next party!

Just wouldn't zip
I fit into a size 4 for almost all dresses that I've rented from RTR. This dress was so pretty on, But it would not zip all the way up. I do have a wide rib cage and the zipper just wouldn't quite go over the middle of my back. The fabric was thick but not so thick that I would die from the heat. I love the neckline, it's very flattering for my body type, and the hi lo skirt would have been fun to dance in. I will re-order this dress for a future event!

Green Lightweight Gorgeous Gown
Wore this to a black tie gala. I have rented from RTR for almost 5 years and I've never received so may complement from strangers before! It surprisingly light weight and the slit is modest. I will say if you have a larger chest this dress probably won't work for you. These is not stretch in the material so do go and eat tacos or something that will mask you bloat. lol It looked great in photos (without flash is looked like a matted green and with flats looks like shinny green satin). Only con is that it did have a few deep set wrinkles in it. I hung the dress up and out of the plastic 2 days before the even...and till there were a few wrinkles that didn't fall out. I'm 5"4 and wore a 2R dress and 3.5" heels. It was the perfect length for the dress to lightly glide on the floor with out me having me trip over it. It was the 1st floor length gown that I didn't have to carry/hold while dancing! Best thing ever!

Formal with pockets!
Got compliments all nights. Pockets were a nice thought! They are deep and I had plenty of room to keep my phone, lipstick, and extra bobby pins. It does not stench, so near the end of the night my ribs and stomach were starting to feel constricted. I'm 5'4" and wore s 3.5" heel = perfect length! P.s. You can wear a strapless bra!!

Long, classy, warm
Top half of the dress is thick and I was very wam through out the night. Dress does run SUPER long. I'm 5'4" and wore a 3.5" heel and ended up tucking the front of the dress under the Satan dash just so I could walk in the dress. There is a high slit that only appeared when I sat down.

Perfect size with just a hint of sparkle
Subtle gold shimmer was a super classy touch. I was able to fit my iPhone (7), lipstick, Chapstick, extra bobby pins, and 2 feminine products. I didn't use the strap - it does detach and attach claps can be tucked into the clutch.

They are not very heavy at all. I wore them for 4 hours and no pain. They just have the perfect amount of sparkle and really brought my whole look together.

Pretty and a Perfect Fit
So quality for this item was a bit underwhelming. Up close it looks more like a cheap piece of costume jewelry. :/ But that being said it looked lovely with my dress and photographed really well. It you have small wrist (like I do) it'll be a perfect fit!

Beautifully simple
Was my back up and I didn't end up wearing it... Almost wish I could have. It is amazing on, sorry I forgot to snap a pic. Feels good and fit all my flattering bits in the perfectly!!! I WILL be renting this for the next party I have. The bit of gold was a stunning surprise to a "little black dress". I usually wear a 4 but the 2 fit like a glove!!

Sequins and pockets
Both the 4L and 2L fit perfect but the 4 looked a big baggy. Pockets are full, no tiny girl pockets, but if you keep your phone in there it does bulge out and is noticeable. I wore a strapless bra (I'm 34C and 5'4" tall) and wore 5" heels, long worked but by the end of the night the pant legs had become about 1" longer. Fun to dance in, back is simple...but difficult to bend, squat, and sit. The 2 and 4 felt tight in the butt area when I sat. Would rent again for a party, great for NYE!

Surprisingly comfortable
Fit into all but one of my bras. Great for when I just need a bit more bust in a loose top or showing off the ta-ta's with a low cut top. Cool to the couch, simple, comfortable.
Perfect size clutch
Love the texture. Got this for a black tie event and ended up using it the day before the event, movie date night. Its defiantly one of this items that you can dress up or down! When you pen the clutch it actually stays open! This turned out to be a fantastic feature when I had to dig though for extra bobby pins. I was able to fit my iPhone 6, inhaler, lipstick, handful of bobby pins, and fashion tape with ease.

Wow! Blue lace
This was my backup dress and I'm so happy I got to wear it!!! I felt like fabulous in this dress. It's very easy to wear (any to wear underwear that was comfortable, it was unfortunately that time of the month, but you'd never know it; and you can wear a strapless bra!). Fun to walk in, lace overlay just follows you around with a very subtle train. A bit heavy if you are going to dance; I danced with half of the dress in my hand for over an hour straight, needless to say it got very heavy. Ribbon detail around ribs can feel a bit tight. I would not recommend this dress to anyone with a large rib cage or anyone that has a bit of an upper body pudge, the robin is NOT forgiving and does not stretch!!! I did have a lot of problems going up and down stairs, my heel snagged on the lace, in the back, so many times, I'm surprised I didn't fall flat on my face. I would recommend for a black tie event. There is a bit of an ivory/gold shimmer to the lace that does not appear in image. Photographs well, but can look darker depending on lighting.

Stunning!
Love these earnings. Unfortunately I did not get to wear them to the Symphony Gala we went to (dress I rented, these earrings matched, didn't fit). We're a bit too formal to wear to work. The wholes on my eyes are a bit small for done eatings so I would suggest wearing a pair of heavy one to work the day of the event to prevent your ears being sore. Will rent these agin, for the next night out! ;)

Fun, Glamorous, and Devine
Ordered a 4R and 4L, 4L was too long even with my 5" heels. size 4 was just a bit big. Ordered a 2L and it was perefect in size and so comfortable... Ended up wearing my 3" heels instead, but it worked out perfect. Wore this gown from 7pm-3am, by the end of the night the dress did get a bit heavy (but nothing to complain about) and I do have a few minor scratches on my arms from the sequins. Got a few complements and felt so glamorous... When walking the dress just flows and follow with short train, just feel like you are gliding across the room.

PERFECT Little Clutch.
Perfect size. Phone, Lipstick, and a few (small lady products) fit perfectly. Rented this for a black tie event but ended up using for that event as well as a fake wedding party (for wedding venders). It was perfect and worked great with my "party dress" as well as my Black Tie gown from RTR.

Not exactly what I was looking for...
Hooks are a bit wider than my bra so there is a some bunching that can be seen when wearing a fitted top. Straps that rap around my stomach are too short and are very tight. Would not recommend.
