Beautiful tailored dress
Rented this dress for a Derby party. It was extremely comfortable. Beautiful, bright colors. Received lots of compliments. The fabric is less formal than I was expecting - it's like a stretchy, thick cotton.

Did not work for me AT ALL.
I wanted to love this dress, but it looked horrible on me. Just too much material and volume. Made me look huge. The fabric is beautiful. I could see this working on someone tall. But I'm short and it was a disaster.

Throwback Prom
The dress is gorgeous. I wore it to an 80s prom event, but it's wasn't costume-y. I would wear the dress normally, it just happened to work for this event. I got lots of compliments on how pretty it was. The lace details are beautiful, and I loved the colors. Fit was true to size. I'm usually a 4-6, and both worked. I went with the 6 for extra comfort.

Didn't wear it
This wrinkled easily and was a tad small. I returned without wearing.

Works for many occasions - casual or dressy
Easy, comfy, cool. Not too tight through the body. Got lots of compliments.

Fun!
Loved this top for a casual event where I wanted to wear something nice. The cut in the shoulders is really flattering. The tie neck allowed for the perfect fit, so it didn't hang too low under the arms. Cute!

So unique, comfortable and pretty
I don't have any pictures that capture how beautiful this dress is. The ruffled layers are so light and pretty - and really flattering. I am 5'3" and I needed 4" heels (and the back still dragged a tiny bit.) it runs a tad small. I'm usually 4-6 and wore the 8. Very unique and summery. I'm so glad I rented this.

Was damaged - otherwise, a great dress
This dress was missing a stitch in the V-neck, which I didn't discover until the last minute. I didn't wear it because it wouldn't stay closed at the top and the lining kept showing. I would consider renting again and checking right away to make sure the stitch is correct. I hope RTR makes this repair!

Unless you are pregnant, I would skip this dress. It fits like a maternity dress. Not flattering.

Great color - gorgeous lace!
This color is gorgeous. I loved the lace, and found the dress surprisingly comfortable. I had to sit in it for several hours. It was stretchy and easy to move around in - also didn't wrinkle or bunch up. It's pretty tight through the lower tummy and hips. I'm usually a 4-6 and needed the 8 in this. I also needed Spanx to keep everything smooth. Totally worth it - a beautiful dress!

Really FUN!
This is a fantastic jumpsuit - so fun, comfortable and striking. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt it was just a little weird around the crotch and lower tummy area, but I find that true of pretty much all jumpsuits. Maybe it's just my body. Anyway, it was worth it because it's so fun. The color is amazing. I'm 5'3" and wore this with 3.5 inch heels and it hit right at the floor. I'm usually between a 4-6, and I wore the 4.

Great dress for any occasion!
This dress is fantastic for anything - work, daytime, night out, wedding, cocktail. Could be dressed up or down. I wore it for a professional photo session with my family, and the color photographed beautifully. High-quality fabric that was smooth, flattering, comfortable. Nothing negative to say! I am between a 4-6 and wore the 4. I would say size down for your back up.

Retro
I wore this for a "Mad Men"-themed charity event. It's a fun, comfortable dress. Heavy, structured fabric that lays nicely and hides pretty much everything below the waist - and you can wear a normal bra with it. Fit was pretty retro, so I don't think I'd wear it under normal circumstances. True to size. I'm usually between a 4-6, and both worked. I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference, so I went with the 6 for a little extra comfort.

Amazing Detail!
The detail on this dress is stunning! Bright, vibrant colors. Very comfortable. Fit is mostly true to size but I would size down for your back up. I'm typically between a 4-6, and I wore the 4. It was a little short-waisted on me, but I have a long torso and have that issue with dresses frequently. Didn't stop me from loving it. Got lots of compliments. And both dresses arrived new with the tags on!

Beautiful!
This dress is sooooo pretty. The beading detail at the top is gorgeous. Loved the bright red color, got lots of compliments. I think this dress runs a little small. I'm usually between a 4-6, and I wore the 8. It was a little short through the torso for me, but I'm long waisted. Still wearable though. Loved everything else about it.

Beautiful!
Totally gorgeous - got compliments all night long! It's very comfortable,. The sleeves are a tad tight, so I went up one size. Very flattering, the skirt flared out at just the right spot, so I didn't feel like I had to suck in my stomach all night. Loved it, can't wait to rent it again!

So fun - and comfortable!
This dress is as comfortable as it is attention-grabbing. It's so shiny and sparkly. More of a true gold than the bronze look in the model pic. You will definitely get noticed (even if you aren't wearing ridiculous boots.) It's lined, so it's very warm. Stretchy fabric. I'm usually a 4, sometimes a 6, and I wore the XS. We were wearing crazy footwear for the show Kinky Boots, but it would look great with black tights and booties under normal circumstances.

SHORT!
I should have ordered the long! The dress is beautiful and fit true to size everywhere else - but it's extremely short. I saw all the other reviewers state this, but I figured it would work for me since I am only 5'3" - and I often have a problem with things being too long. I thought I could always wear kitten heels with it if it. No, even in bare feet, the tops of my ankles were showing. If you are above 5 feet tall, I recommend ordering the long. It's a beautiful dress, and I will try again with the long for another event. (It wasn't available for me to get it in time for this event, but RTR sent me other gorgeous option that fit perfectly. Nothing but wonderful things to say about RTR's impeccable costumer service!)

Beautiful lace - and so comfortable!
Just lovely. The lace detail was gorgeous, especially the straps and neckline. It was fairly lightweight for a floor-length dress. Stretchy fabric made it super comfortable. I'm 5'3" and wore 3 inch heels and it just hit the floor. True to size - but I would go up for your backup size.

Comfortable, fun dress! Perfect for NYE.
This dress definitely runs large. I'm usually a 4, but the 4 was kind of shapeless on me. The 2 worked better. It's a little tricky to zip up the back where the fabric gathers. But it's a great pretty, fun dress. Not too constricting in the stomach area, and you can wear a normal bra with it. Great New Year's Eve dress!

My favorite rental so far!
This is the prettiest, most comfortable, perfect-for-any-occasion dress. The bright blue is beautiful! It could be dressy or casual, depending on the accessories. It does run a tad big, so size down for your back up - but the drawstring waist makes it easy to adjust the fit. This was my free birthday rental and I just loved, loved, loved it.

More purple than pink
It's a beautiful bag - nice quality and big and roomy (which is how I like my clutches). But the color is way more purple than I wanted. Was hoping for hot pink, but i couldn't quite tell from the the model pics. I didn't end up using it.

Just didn't work for me
It's a pretty dress - but the colors are very cool-toned and muted. I was hoping for something warmer and brighter. It just didn't do much for me, so I didn't wear it. Fortunately, I loved my back up dress!

Gorgeous color!
This dress is really comfortable. I was worried it would be too clingy - but the front of the dress is lined, and the draping across the skirt is very flattering. It's just really pretty and easy to wear. Amazing color! (As most reviews state the belt is useless, but you don't need it.)

Beautiful color - and so comfortable
I loved everything about this dress. The color is a very bright orangey-red. It was so light weight and comfortable. You can wear a normal bra with it with a little fashion tape (the flutter sleeves are really thin, so you need to attach your straps to just the right place.) Based on some reviews, I was worried about the excess fabric on top making the fit too baggy or frumpy, but I didn't find that at all. I am long-waisted for my height, and the belt hit at exactly the right place. (Perhaps if you are short-waisted, it might just have too much material on top?) It was perfect for a summer wedding, and I will definitely rent this again!
