A Sexy show stopper
I wore this dress for a formal Christmas dinner party. The blue color was amazing and stood out amongst the red, green, and black outfits. The fabric had some stretch and kept everything in place. I can't wait to rent again.

Fall Key West Wedding
I wore this dress for a November wedding in the Keys. I was looking for something fun, colorful and appropriate for 85 degree weather. All the other dresses I found reflected cold weather events and were too dark, structured or heavy. The straps on this dress are extremely long, and even after consulting with RTR staff, fashion tape and safety pins, it was unmanageable. I ended up sowing the straps to shorten them and it held up beautifully. Other reviews noted the same, and RTR should really consider tailoring long straps. The dress was stained in 2 places, but unnoticeable as the night progressed.

Very cute but flash back of granny
These earrings were really fun and bright, but I was disappointed that they were clip on. It made me think of my grandmother's jewelry box filled with clip on earrings. One pink stone was missing, so I had to keep my hair draped over the earring to hide the imperfection.

Hot Mama for the holidays
I rented a Herve Leger dress and picked it up at the Georgetown (Washington, DC) location, and I'm so glad I did. It was a horrible fit and not appropriate for a formal family holiday dinner. I ended up renting this Trina Turk fire engine red dress and was super pleased! It was also $150 less than the Herve Leger! RTR gave me a credit and I'm a size 4 in dresses, but the 2 fit in all the right places. I have a small bust, and the low cut and draping in the front was very feminine and flattering. Since this was for a formal dinner, the stretch and draping in the front were a perfect cover for when I ate my souffle dessert. I wore it with nude shoes, and white/gold chandelier earrings. I would rent again, and again and wish I had this in my wardrobe.

Elegant. Flirty, and sophisticated. Great dress!
I read the reviews and thank the previous users for giving useful/helpful information. This dress was great! I'm small chested, and the rouging in the bust helped the girls! I usually wear dresses with 2 straps, and sleeveless, so this dress was outside my comfort zone, and I was so happy i chose it! It was stunning! The material lent itself to fitting in all the right places. I didn't wear spanx. I did notice that the lining peaked through at the bottom, so I did need to readjust every so often. The color was very vibrant and perfect for an October evening wedding. I got a lot of head turning in my direction, and received many compliments! Great ego boost! I have waist length curly hair, and wore my hair loosley up with gold drop earrings and gold bracelet. Gold and brown makeup. My shoes were black patent and gold. I have a tattoo on my right shoulder, and this dress let it shine as well. I would wear this again!

I felt great in this dress and could wear a regular bra in it. Very flirty!
Dress was very comfortable, flirty and fit true to size. I was able to wear my regular bra underneath, and received SEVERAL compliments. I didn't upstage the bride to be, but gave the impression that I was ready to party!
