Cute & easy to wear
I normally wear a 4 but ordered a backup 6 based on the reviews. I the end, I thought the 6 was big in the bust and too long for a party dress, so I went with the 4. This is a fun, easy-to-wear dress for a party or date, but I did think it was a little boring. I wished I had rented something edgier. I added an open-toe suede bootie to give it an edge, but kudos for being so comfortable and easy. Anything where I don't have to wear a bra is also a plus!

Beautiful but the Long was WAYYYY too long
I'm normally get Long/Tall in RTR brands so I chose that here. This is a beautiful jumpsuit but it was unwearable because it was soooooo long. I'm 5'8" and even with the tallest shoes I own, it was puddling on the floor - maybe 6 extra inches after heels. Seriously, you'd have to be 6'3" and in heels to wear this!

Beautiful dress, DEFINITELY order up!
I typically wear a S, maybe a M in some brands, but based on the RTR reviews (lifesaver), I ordered the M and L are a backup. The M wasn't available last minute and I assumed the L would be way too big. But it fit! DEFINITELY order up 1 or even 2 sizes form your normal size with this dress. I wore this for a beach wedding/country club wedding in FL and got lots of compliments. It was fun and easy to wear. Loved the lavender/pale blueish color. I'm tall -- almost 5'8" -- and it was short but definitely not too short.

Periwinkle Felicia Lace Mini Dress

Beautiful dress for a beautiful wedding!
I LOVED this dress and got so, so many compliments. It hugs the figure but the material is stretchy, so it's very flattering and comfortable. The longer length was perfect and the see-through areas were tasteful and unique. I wish I owned this dress, but I can definitely see myself renting it again. I ended up wearing the M and it fit perfectly. Probably my favorite rental ever! Thank you RTR :)

Sexy black dress for a formal wedding
I liked wearing this dress -- thought it accented my shape and had fun straps. The lace was beautiful, of course. The only downside was that the front keep rolling over a bit. But nothing anyone else noticed, I'm sure. Also, be aware that before the sun set and it was still light out, you could see COMPLETELY through the lace on this one. An old man pointed it out, ha.

Beautiful dress, so fun and unique, great for dancing
So the color is a bit tricky because the lace is more silver but the beading is more taupe, but once I figured out the shoes to wear with it, I was in love. I thought it was super flattering (not too loose or too tight), I didn't have to wear a bra, and the draping still looked good after we'd eaten a big meal :) Fun to dance in. Really enjoyed this dress. Wish I owned it!

RTR customer service always comes through -- they are always sweet and helpful. I forgot to bring the 2nd dress to mail back and they were so accommodating and let me mail it back a day late.
Loved, loved, loved wearing this dress ... It fits like a glove and it so flattering. I'm a C cup and I was worried it would be too low cut, but I didn't think it showed too much at all once I saw it in person. I would caution, however, against wearing it if you have to eat very much, because it does show a belly, and I found that it's so fitted that Spanx showed through. I couldn't even wear underwear! Still, it's a beautiful dress that is classy and sexy at the same time. I wish I owned it! Herve Leger never lets you down.

Sugar Plum Bandage Dress

This dress runs very small, so I'd suggest ordering your size and one up from there. The skirt portion is extremely tight across the hips, which is odd because that's the part underneath the tulip hem, so you don't even see it. Once I got used to barely being able to sit down, the dress looked pretty and I got compliments from the guests at the wedding I wore it to. The grosgrain-type material is fun and a bit unexpected. Great for a holiday party or wedding.

Always great customer service.
Wore this dress to a beachside wedding in La Jolla and it was really fun and looked great. Dressed it up a bit with black patent heels and a big silver necklace. Loved the short length and the movement of the tiers when we danced. I'm 5'8" and didn't find it too short for a non-formal wedding or party. The only con, as mentioned by other reviewers, was that the top of the dress looked faded and worn. Maybe RTR should retire some or reduce the rental price?

Having two sizes saved me, phew!
This dress runs small, so I'd suggest ordering your size and one up from there. The skirt portion doesn't have any give and was tight across my hips. Once I got used to barely being able to sit down, the dress looked pretty and I got lots of compliments from the guests at the wedding I wore it to. The grosgrain-type material is fun and a bit unexpected. Great for a holiday party or wedding in cooler weather. Overall, a success.

Tiered Tulip Dress

Great customer service, as always.
Wore this to a Vegas bachelorette party and it was fun, although more pretty than sexy so I tried to give it some edge with a chunky necklace and messy hair. I'd say it's more for a sorority formal or wedding. I loved the color though, and the bustier-type top is fun and unexpected. Other reviewers are right when they say the zipper comes unzipped unless you safety pin it!
