Great material, great cut, great dress!
I wore this to a charity gala. I wanted something cute, fun, and not too formal. This dress checked all the boxes! There is no lining, but it's not needed. The fabric is thick and flattering. You could absolutely dress this up with glitzy accessories for a more formal look. I felt like I was between sizes, so I chose the smaller size so I could get the "peekaboo" effect on the waist (it didn't show as well on the larger size). I'm so happy with this rental!

Watch out for the boning in the bodice!
This was a great, classic dress that is also nice for hiding a few extra pounds. The boning was poking out of the bodice and I ultimately needed to cover one side of my rib cage with moleskin so I could feel somewhat comfortable. I was pulling the dress up all night, due to the heavy material. That being said, the material was exquisite and if you don't mind your dress feeling tight, definitely size down.

Total stand-out!
I received so many compliments on this dress. The color stood out brilliantly at a winter wedding. The material is nice and thick and the dress hugs curves nicely. I went up two sizes, so definitely size up for your back-up dress. Also, the slit in the front is quite high on taller girls. Not a deal/breaker at all, but just be aware if you're gong to a more conservative event.

Stunning but that back slit is a deal-breaker for taller women.
This was my backup dress and when I put it on it almost became my first choice dress. The fabric is exquisite, the fit is amazing and so flattering. But then I turned around and the slit was nearly at my crotch. The was the split is cut, you can't even use a safety pin or anything. Might work better on shorter girls, but the slit was a deal-breaker for me.
Red La Brea Dress
LIKELY

Beautiful fit and that flounce at the hem makes it!
I ordered the 6 and 8 and I ended up wearing the 8. I'm fuller in the hips, so I can't really say this dress runs small; there just isn't really any wiggle room in the hip area. I wore this for my anniversary/vow renewal in Vegas and I felt amazing in it! The color is absolutely perfect. I was concerned about the top slipping but I really only had to adjust it after getting in/out of the car. If I have another occasion to wear something like this I would totally rent again!
Red Luna Dress

Fun dress for a December wedding!
I wanted something with sleeves, but still youthful and fun and this dress totally delivered. I'm 5'8", so the size 6 ended up being a short, fun length on me which was a nice contrast to the high neckline and sleeves. The full skirt made the dress very comfortable for sitting and dancing. Just know that although the fabric is exquisite, some nice statement jewelry would really help it pop.

Added some POP to my LBD
I wore this to a formal wedding to help dress up a little black dress. It did the job! I have long hair that tends to get caught and tangle around most necklaces, and I didn't have that problem with this at all. Didn't get caught on anything. Loved it with a high neckline but would be beautiful with a lower one too. Happy customer!
Crystal Cluster Necklace
Badgley Mischka Jewelry

I felt amazing in this!
This was my first RTR experience and I was beyond pleased! I ordered the 6 and 8 and ended up wearing the 6. The material is beautiful - doesn't stretch like some fitted dresses tend to do after sitting, dancing, etc. I got tons of compliments and I felt great in this! My husband absolutely loved it! Prepare to go bra-less, or use pasties/sticky cups. Even with the strap across the back, my strapless bra showed through. I wore sticky cups and the close fit if the dress actually helped them stay in place. Also, on the size 8, the strap across the back is a different material. It looks like it may have been replaced. Maybe something to ask about if you're going to order that size. You will not be disappointed with this dress!
