Amazing!
This dress is a showstopper. I received a ton of compliments and felt glamorous in it. It is lace and a heavy material so I wouldn't recommend it for any warm weather events. One of my favorite rentals!

Uggggh
I had been DYING to wear this dress. It's beautiful and a showstopper. I am an unlimited member but could never rent it so I ended up paying out of pocket- that's how much I loved it. Generally, I read reviews of things being too short or too revealing and think that's a personal preference but I don't mind showing off my legs or my girls so I never think it applies to me. This dress barely covered my bottom and my boobs were everywhere! If I sized up? The dress would be too big. I wanted this to be a hit for me so badly, but it is just not made for my body type. (I am a 34DD and a size 2 in pants, but very leggy).

Pretty and simple
Very well made dress. The material is thick so it's perfect for a fall or winter wedding. I got lots of compliments on the color. It crushed "the girls" a little bit but I think it ran true to size.

If you can get it on, it is so worth it!
This dress is absolutely amazing and maybe my favorite rental to date. I received many compliments. The dress is flattering, well made and made me feel pretty and sexy at the same time. Like other reviewers said? The zipper is awful. After reading other reviews, I told my husband we would attempt to get me into it for 10 minutes and if not, I would wear something else. It took 7 minutes. I think it would be impossible to put on without help. We twisted it around to the front so you also should be comfortable showing all your goods to whomever helps you into it! But it is soooo worth it!

There is no denying that the color is gorgeous but when I tried it on? I felt like I was supposed to put on some ice skates and warm up for my routine. Just not my style.

Will try again!
I rented this along with a few other dresses for a wedding. The small was the only size left so I figured I would try it (I have the unlimited membership). Like other reviewers said, it is VERY small. I am a size 2 but have a large chest. But the dress is stunning, well made and even though I couldn't zip it all the way up? I could tell this was a stunner. It is body hugging in the best of ways and sucks everything in. I will definitely try it again if the medium becomes available!

So many compliments!
This dress was a showstopper! The material and fit were top of the line. It is very fitted up top and the neckline is very low so you have to be confident to wear it! I am usually a size 4-6 and am 34DD. With a little tape, the girls stayed where they belonged! I got a ton of compliments and would recommend to anyone comfortable showing some cleavage!

Festive!
I rented this for my friend's December wedding. It is nicely made with a lot of detail. I probably would only wear this dress around the holidays as the silver/metallic would be a lot at any other time of year. The zipper was very tough and without my husband, I never would have gotten into it! The bodice fits well but i felt that it ran large in the back/bust and I am a 36DD. I had to keep pulling the dress up. A heads up: there is a lot of detailed thread sewn on the dress that pulls very easily.

Busy.
This dress is gorgeous with plenty of detail but it was just too busy and overwhelming for me. It runs small so rent a size up and with all of the 3D flowers, I found that I looked bigger than I am. It just wasn't for me.

Just OK
I would describe this dress as "nice". I would wear it to Church but i rented it for a wedding and felt like a mom in it. It is a sexy shape but ran a little big on me so I felt frumpy in it. The material is quality and if it fit well, I might have been more inclined to wear it.

Wonderful LBD with a fun yet simple print. The dress is warm and fitted but the material is very flattering! I️ rented the M but I️ have no hips, so the material was a little stretched at the sides and I️ didn't fill it out so I ended up looking wider than I️ am. One of my favorite rentals!!

Runs HUGE.
I rented this for my friend's 30th birthday party. I had read that people reported that it ran small so I sized up to a size 10. I was SWIMMING IN IT. I am usually a 6-8 and I might just be a 4 in this. I have a 36DD chest and my whole bra was showing and I probably couldn't fit someone else's chest in there with me! As far as the actual romper, I thought the material was comfortable and light, but in the pictures, the romper appeared sexy and in real life, the flowers just seem extra flowery! It just wasn't for me all around!

Cute with a little bit of "extra"
I wore this for my sister in law's rehearsal dinner. It was cute and sweet, but the shoulders gave it a little more personality than the usual long sleeved dress. The dress is well made, warm, and the color is very pretty. Would be great for a date night, birthday party etc.

Very elegant, but way too long!
I rented this as a back up for a wedding, but I didn't end up wearing it. The dress itself is stunning and elegant, but it is long! When I read other reviews that it was long, I ignored them because I am 5'7 and all legs so "too long" doesn't usually apply to me, but it landed at an awkward spot on me-just above the ankle. I am large busted so I usually need a size 8, but the zipper only goes to the small of your back and since I have small hips, I was swimming in it. I would try it again in a smaller size, perhaps even a 4, but the length is awkward!

I rented this for vacation and wore it out to a beach dinner. I am large busted but could wear this without a bra. The top piece is flowy but it is more fitted on the hips. It was very comfortable and the material is light and easy. I will definitely rent this again!

I rented this for vacation and it was adorable! I got a lot of compliments on how pretty it was! I am large chested and didn't even have to wear a bra. I think you do need a bit of a tan or olive skin tone to pull it off! Very pretty, flattering and a great material.

Best dressed
I rented this for a friend's wedding for an evening wedding in the Finger Lakes and loved this dress! I was looking for something wistful and romantic and this hit the mark! I had so many people that I didn't know stop me to ask me where I got the dress and to compliment me. The dress is heavy so it is for fall/winter occasions. I was outdoors in 60 degree weather and was warm most of the night. The intricacies of the dress are incredible and it was absolutely stunning. I am usually a solid 8-I am large chested but I probably could have worn the 6. The dress was so comfortable. One of my favorite rentals!

I have an unlimited membership and rent a ton of dresses but this was hands down my favorite! I rented it for a summer wedding and I felt amazing in it. The color is stunning, the material is light and comfortable, and the shape is probably flattering for every body type! I would highly recommend this dress!

Cute!
This dress is very cute and brought out the little girl in me! The cherries and print are adorable and the material is great. The skirt flares a little bit more than I anticipated. It isn't exactly A-line. The top fit nicely, but I have a 36DD so there was a little bulge near the buttons. I just undid the button because I was wearing this for an informal affair with friends. If you are looking for something cute and light, i'd highly recommend this!

Loved this romper! I wish I could have kept it! It hugs you in all of the right spots and the pattern is adorable and perfect for summer. I am 5'7 and it was erring on the side of being too short but still worked. I am 36DD and was able to wear this without a bra and feel secure for the most part. I would highly recommend this romper to everyone! I will definitely be renting it again. My favorite piece ever from RTR!

Ugh
When I received this dress, I didn't realize that it was going to be wet suit material. It was shapeless and ran very large. The cute "pleats" fell flat and the dress had an overall frumpy appearance. Generally, I love most of the items I receive and agree with other reviews, but I've been renting for 2 years and this was definitely my worst pick.

Love!
I rented this for my niece's all black sweet 16 party. I got so many compliments and felt great in it! The material was very pretty. I have a large bust, short torso and long legs so rompers can be hit or miss. It is SHORT for any of you tall or long legged ladies. I am a 5'7 and bending over was not something I could do when I was wearing it-even doing the knee squat was touch and go. I would rent this again!

Gorgeous dress
This dress is really pretty, but a little bit more conservative than I thought it would be. I am 5'7 and it was still too long on me for me to think of it as "cute" and not for a church event. I can range anywhere from a 6-10 depending on the dress because I am a 36DD. I rented the 8 and it didn't quite fit well. My chest felt smushed so I didn't end up wearing it. I would consider renting it in the future for a different event in a 10.

Pretty
I rented this for work. It was a stretch for me because I don't usually wear things like this. When I received it, it immediately made me think of curtains. There is a tank top that comes with it and then the lace piece covers it. It felt stiff and I couldn't get over the feeling that I was wearing someone's drapes. I think that this style might work for others, but it just wasn't a go for me. The overall fit was true to size.

Cute...crop top?
I ordered this to wear to work. The material was nice, tight fitting spandex like material, and the pattern was cute, but it barely covered my chest! I am a 36DD but I think that even with a larger size, it would fit the same way. Not for the large busted women!

Mehhh
The sweater is heavy duty and made from nice material, but it looked totally shapeless on me. I expected it to be a big, cozy sweater, but it wasn't flattering. I am large busted so this may have played a role, but it just wasn't for me.

I rented this for vacation. It is comfortable, flattering, and the material is soft. The neckline seemed a bit stretched out, but that was OK. I wore it out at night for a casual dinner and drinks and it was perfect. Great summer outfit.

Cute
The dress is cute, but it didn't button around my bust. A large would have been too big for me as the rest of the dress fit me perfectly, if not just a bit big. It is very short though! I am all legs so when I read that something is short from other reviewers, I think, "Great! I'm not afraid of very short!" but the lace trim on the bottom came up to my butt! If you don't have a large chest and are shorter than 5'7, this would be cute for a day around town!

Not flattering at all
I knew I was taking a risk when I rented this because of the fit. When I tried it on, I was just swimming in it. I have a large bust so I knew this would be the risk, but it just wasn't flattering at all. It doesn't fall completely straight either so the way it flares on the side just added to the tent feeling. Just not for me!

Classy but eye catching
I rented this dress for my holiday work party! I am a nurse so it's fun to get dressed up and show what I'm working with under my scrubs! So I was looking for something flattering without being too inappropriate for my work event. I have a 38DD chest so it can be difficult to wear dresses with slips, but this one worked for me! It did crush my chest a little bit, but not overly so. The sleeves are TIGHT. I am a long, thin limbed person (I carry my weight in my stomach) and I felt that the arms were too tight. I had the 10 as my back up size but felt the 8 looked more flattering and I could tolerate the arms. Like I said, I have long limbs, so the dress is on the short side. No jumping up and down for me! The dress is fitted without being tight or boxy. You can tell there are curves under it. The sleeves are everything! So fun and so many compliments. It was a great color-the only one wearing blue in a sea of black! Overall, the dress is cute and fun, but appropriate for work and family events.

It is obviously costume jewelry, but I found it to be over the top and gaudy looking. I didn't even bother to try them, but I would also assume your ears would be exhausted by the end of the night-very heavy!

Sleek and comfortable
I very rarely wear black to a wedding but I just loved this piece. The dress is simple but the sleeves and the neckline make it more formal. The material is form fitting so you can't really hide too much under it but since it is thick, it gives problem areas some forgiveness. I felt like it hugged in all of the right places. I rented the medium because I have a large bust but the way the material bunched a little bit around my chest and arms made me think a small could have been OK. Pair with colorful shoes and jewelry and this dress is a win!

Super cute but only for certain body types!
The romper is very pretty and very well made. I really wanted to wear it, but it fit me so awkwardly! I am 5'7 and very leggy with a short torso. I rented an 8 and the top fit well even with my DD chest. The problem was with the waist line. The waist line runs high so the bottom half of the romper seems very long! It looked like i was wearing baggy dockers that my dad would wear. I don't really have hips or a butt so maybe if I had been able to fill it out more, it wouldn't have seemed so long?? It would have been much cuter if the pant part was shorter.

Comfortable and classy
I rented this for my friend's bridal shower. As a bridesmaid, I was looking for something classy that I would feel comfortable in as I ran around setting up, grabbing gifts, etc. The dress is super comfortable and I think would be flattering on any body type. I am large busted with a short torso so sometimes I struggle with fitted dresses. The material is stretchy but thick so it covers problem areas. It is also mid thigh, which made it perfect for the event. I matched it with bright blue shoes to give it a little burst. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Ehh...a little bit plastic?
I rented this dress for NYE for a night for dinner and drinks. The shape of the dress is very pretty and I would have worn it but for the sleeves. The sleeves were puffier than they look in the picture. They aren't fitted, and my husband said that I was wearing garbage bags for sleeves, so I chose not to wear it.

You need some confidence for this one!
Sexy dress and fits very tight to hold in all problem areas, but if you are insecure at all about your stomach? It is tough. My husband thought the dress was sexy but all I could see was my problem areas. I chose not to wear it, but someone with more confidence definitely would have!

I ordered these for a night out in the city in December and I LOVED them! They were so comfortable and sexy. I am long legged with small hips and practically no butt, and I ordered the medium. They fit like a glove. I wore them with a pair of heels and a baggy sweater. My husband was swooning. I would love to own these and will definitely rent them again! I highly suggest these for a night out.
