Best Rental Ever!!!!!!!
I rented this to wear on a girls weekend in Vegas. My daughter invited me to go along with her and her younger(20 something 30 something) friends. Had delivered to the RTR Vegas Store. Only size 10 was available and I was concerned as I have gained some extra weight recently. The 10 fit beautifully (thanks to Spanxs) This dress was everything I could want simple sleek sophisticated. The navy was a bit different then black. The cape is was made this dress. I wore red heels, rhinestone pins on the shoulder, cubic zerconica earrings and a statement ring. The younger women said the dress was hot and like it. I fit in with them and their mini dresses.. I know what I should wear and this is an examble

Way too small could not wear it.
I wanted a cute dress that was in my normal style range (casual) Wrap dresses are supposed to be universally flattering style for most body builds. I wanted a 12 with a back up of 10. No 12 so I got a 10 an 14. Of course the 10 didn't even wrap around , the 14 did but it was way too tight across the back and gaped in the front. No way I could even fit into that one either. I have ordered some sheaths from RTR and have worn 8 10 12 no problem. The dress was well made but had no give in the fabric. Wore leggings and a flannel top for Christmas. Such a dissappointment

Cute by not for me
I rented this for a casual birthday party. I knew the dress would be short so I planned to pair it with brown leggings and ankle length cowgirl boots. Somehow this dress wasn't that flattering on me. If it had been a regular wrap dress or a shift maybe it would have looked better on me. The top of dress you slipped over your head the bottom you wrapped. . I could not find the right spot on my body to tie the wrap that looked right on me. The belt kept slipping and I just looked thicker through the middle. Oh well this is how you find out what works for you.

Perfect dress for the event.
Dress was great for a wintertime luncheon. The dress is flattering for my build and comfortable. Decided to wear the 10 as it was a little longer (My hips are full) The fabric is thick and has give, follows your curves, but looks smooth, sleek. I did wear spanx. A form fitting dress can be comfortable and flattering. My only complaint has with other dresses I have rent. The hidden zippers are so hard to zip up. I need help with them. Had to stop to have a friend zip up the back.

Fun and bright for a spring lunchen
I wanted something colorful for a luncheon. This was my 2nd choice. The first (another Lilly) did not have my size. I planned to wear some fuchsia colored fabric sandals. However the sandals looked too worn and casual with this dress. I decided on a pair of red pumps. I wore this to have my hair done and received compliments. However the weather was cold and my pale pink wrap around my shoulders just didn't seem right. I knew that the banquet room would be cool. So I decided to wear a pair of nude fishnet hose, my red ankle cowgirl boots and a short denim jacket. I did receive compliments. The red boots set the outfit off. . While at the luncheon a lady was talking about some Lilly Pulitzer dresses she has at home and said she bought them 40 years ago. Her granddaughter wants to borrow them. So wonderful to be able to wear a designer dress. Am I the only customer who would love to see RTR rent shoes? Shoes finish off an outfit. You offer so many other accessories why not shoes? I am sure there are ways to sanitize them between rentals. Customers could rent every thing and really have a WOW factor.

Beautiful but not flattering for my body
I was excited to try the dress on the front draping in the front did not lay well around my hips on the 8. I tried the 10 on and the panel laid smoothly. I felt so good in the dress, lovely color, fine fabric. I was shocked when I saw a picture of myself in this dress. I looked so much heavier then I thought I was. I was not going to share a picture of myself look like that. RTR has so many different styles some will work and some you need to pass by.

Perfect for a luncheon
As always I love the dresses I get from RTR. My only complaint is the hidden zipper in back is hard to zip by myself. It looks great from the back just a smooth seam. I tried the 8 on and I felt it was too short for me (I am only 5' 1") I am 65 and prefer dresses at least knee . The 10 was about a quarter inch longer. I wore black tights and knee high dress boots. The luncheon was on a cold Nov afternoon and when I ordered this dress I planed to wear a black half sleeve cardi. The cardi did not look right with the dress as did my black tweed jacket. So I wore a thin black jersey long sleeve to under the dress. It looked like it was part of the dress. I am in awe of how comfortable these designer dresses are compared to mass produced department store dresses. Put the dress on and no adjusting, pulling, tugging. Looking at the seams and construction reminded me of learning how to sew in home ec in school and how to properly construct a garment. Nothing was ever mentioned about the cute lace trimmed slip inside this dress. The color block is flattering. I felt 10 pounds slimmer. Thank you RTR for offering dresses that can be worn during the day.

A fun weekend visiting my granddaughter at college. Toga dress (toga toga Animal House)
This is my favorite RTR rental so far. Ordered M and L. Normally I wear 8 / 10. The M fit didn't even try the L on. Wore it 2 nights . First night with brown tights and brown ankle boots and delicate silver jewelry. Second night brown riding boots and gold jewelry. My granddaughters like the dress and had no problem with grandma wearing it out with them. My daughter told me none of her friends mothers could wear a dress like this. I am short and I was concern the fabric would bunch up and make me look wide but it draped nicely. Told by my family it was flattering. We have gotten the idea that if you dress up you re not going to be comfortable. Not so with these dresses I have rented fromRTR. They are high quality and well made. I never have to worry about my dress riding up when I sit down, bend over, they don't bunch up or wrinkle and don't need to e readjusted. This is true for the three different styles and materials I have rented from RTR. You don't have to trade comfort for style. Hope you will offer daytime, business or casual dresses along with the special occasion dresses. Can't wait to rent another

My daughter was beautiful
I rented this for my daughter to wear to a family wedding. 97 degrees and wedding was outdoors. She wore blue wedges, silver earrings and a silver bracelet and looked beautiful. Her only complaint was she needed to safety pin the deep neckline along with some fashion tape.

Not the typical grandmother of the bride dress
The color is just beautiful. The back detail was so different and special. Rented this for an outdoor wedding. Temp 96 degrees. The dress is comfortable, did not tug on it or readjust while I was wearing it, not wrinkled when I took it off. Only complaints are the dress I did wear arrived wrinkled. Since I was at my own home I had my steamer I could use. May have been a problem if I had it sent a hotel and had a wrinkled dress arrive. Second was the belt, only one sent and it seemed too small. I tried only both dresses and with the belt they both bunched up around the waist, not flattering for me. I tried one of my own and just didn't look right. Took the belt off and there was enough definition in the waist and it hung so nicely I went without a belt. Love reading the reviews from other customers. I get an idea of how the dress will or will not work for me. Will use RTR in the future.

Just what I needed Just what I needed
I am so glad RTR offeres 2 sizes. The 10 was too snug in the hips so I wore the 12. It was a little loose in the bust but not too bad. I wore it to an all day conference and I can see the difference in a high quality garment. The fit was great, did not ride up when I sat dowun, I notice I did not tug or pull on the dress. Wore black tights, black high heeled boots, antique coin earrings and an antique gold bangle bracelet. Been through a rough couple of months and needed a shot of something extra. RTR is the way to go. Thank you for the customer reviews. Only problem was the hidden zipper in back, hard for a women who lives alone, no one to ask for help did manage to zip it up. Lovley color
