I rented this dress for an outdoor fall wedding and could not have been happier. The print is gorgeous in person - a marbled mix of earthy tones that felt perfect for the season. The one-shoulder detail adds just enough elegance without being fussy, and the dress moves beautifully when you walk. I styled it with nude heels and a burnt orange shawl (highly recommend for layering - the color matched the dress tones perfectly). I received so many compliments all night, and it photographed so well in natural light. The fit was comfortable, flattering, and true to size. I especially loved that it had pockets! Perfect for weddings or any event where you want something unique, comfortable, and refined. I would absolutely rent this one again.

I got compliments all night! I added my own belt for a little extra shape, and it worked perfectly. I’m pear-shaped, and this dress was incredibly forgiving through the hips while still feeling tailored. The midi length was ideal. I’m 5’5” and full-length gowns are usually way too long, so this hit just right. The fabric looked pink in some lighting and more purple in others, which made it really striking in person and in photos. It was super lightweight and never wrinkled, even after hours of wear. Beautiful, comfortable, and easy to move in - I’d definitely rent it again!

This dress was extremely long! I wore 5 inch wedges cause they were my highest heels...and the dress still dragged the floor. The material is also very heavy at the bottom. Having said all that, I felt sooo elegant and received compliments all night!

This was my backup dress. i put it on after my event so that i could take a pic for this review. The color is gorgeous and it's comfortable. I just didn't think it did much for my pear shape/wide hips. The zipper is tough...you will definitely need someone to help you. I added a wide elastic belt and I think it changed the whole look! I'm 5'5" and with heels, the length was perfect. Someone at my table wore this dress, so my first choice ended up being the right one :)

I wore this to a formal military ball, and I received compliments all night! I think the bright, rich color perfectly compliments a dark military dress uniform. I ordered the 6R but wound up wearing my backup size of 8R. I added a satin covered elastic belt with a poofy flower detail...I think the addition of the belt made the dress even more glam! My only criticism is that it was a bit long. I'm 5'5" and I wore 4 inch heels and it still drug the floor a little.

I rented this for what I thought was a semi formal cocktail party...I then found out the dress code was 'southern chic'. I loved the dress so much, so I decided to just add some boots and own the look! I felt so pretty! I am pear shaped and this dress is super forgiving! There were some wires in the boning that were poking me, but it was otherwise comfortable. The color is amazing! It looked a little frumpy when i first tried it on, but I ironed and steamed out the wrinkles and then it flowed just perfectly! Another RTR dress that did not disappoint!

I ordered the 4R with backup size of 6R. I'm a tad on the pear shaped side...smallish waist and large hips/butt. Since this dress is very forgiving in the hip area, the 4R fit perfectly! I wore it to my company's formal Christmas party at a fancy hotel in DC. I felt sooo comfortable and sexy! To add a pop of color, I paired it with hot pink heels and clutch. Silver or black would also have worked well. My one and only complaint is that the outer flowy part of the skirt was a bit static-y. I'm sure static guard or some fabric softeners would've solved the problem, but I didn't have any on me. This was my first rental from RTR, and it did not disappoint! The website is not letting me upload a photo right now, but I will try again later!
