A great suggestion!

These earrings were beautiful. They were larger than I expected (though I don't think I paid much attention to the size when I ordered) but the cut and style complimented my dress very well. It's not something I would normally wear, but I wore it any way since I was going out to a formal awards dinner and I'm glad I did. I paired it with a simple necklace. They were not too heavy for their size, but I only wore them for four hours. Thanks for putting these in the suggestions when I ordered my dress, RTR!

Comfortable, casual dress

This was an emergency backup sent to me by RTR when my original dress wasn't available. The size was too large for me - a 0 or 2 would have fit better - so I didn't end up wearing this dress to my event. Pros: you can get away with a regular bra because of the back being enclosed; there's pockets; comfortable fit. Cons: for fair-skinned gals like me, the color washed me out. Overall a dress I would rent again in a bolder color and smaller size.

Gorgeous summer color

This dress was gorgeous all around. I wish I had rented the size 0 because the 2 was a little loose on me. If you have a small chest order down since it will be hard to keep the straps up, even with the corset that's included. I needed to wear a backless strapless bra just for peace of mind. The color glowed and was perfect for a summer night out. It was a comfortable dress, not too long, roomy enough in the hips. I would rent again.

Gorgeous spring color

This was sent as an emergency backup dress when the rental I originally ordered wasn't available. This particular dress didn't seem as stretchy as the Gravitate Toward You dress by ML, so the 0 was very tight around my ribs and hard to zip. The color was extremely flattering for my skin tone and hair and I think would be flattering for a lot of different skin tones. However, the way the lace gathered at my hips wasn't flattering, so I wouldn't recommend this for a pear shape since I couldn't fill out the top of the dress. You will probably need to use a strapless bra or nubra. The particular dress I was sent has seen a lot of wear. Ultimately I gave it 3 stars because the fit wasn't what I was expecting based on previous experience renting a similar style from this designer, but I think I would have been happier with the size 2. Thank you to RTR for sending me this as a backup anyway!

Be brave and rent it! All eyes will be on you!

I never thought I'd be able to pull off a bodycon dress, but the sturdy yet forgiving material of the dress hugs your curves in all the right places. I needed help zipping it up but once it's zipped, it was fine. A super comfortable dress despite being so form fitting, and it made me LOVE my curves. It hid and smoothed out other areas of my hips I was worried about. Because of my pear shape - mainly due to small bust (32A) - the particular push-up bra I needed to wear to fill out the top of the dress actually poked out from underneath the dress straps, but I wore a cropped black cardigan with it anyway and I think most bras would work (if you need one). I also wore spanx without any line issues. Wore it on a night out at a speakeasy and won the admiration of the discerning hostess. This dress will take confidence to try but you'll want to work it once you've got it on!

Comfortable, effortless elegance and surprising sexiness.

I wore this to an evening dinner gala and silent auction. It was the perfect amount of formality with the color and lace, mixed with a good amount of sexy with the deep cutout in the back. The boatneck top was pretty big on me, but I'm petite and have a small bust, and the dress was never in any danger of falling off or revealing anything - often a problem with a small bust. Other than that, the dress fit in all the right places. I felt like I was between the 0 and the 2 - I could have worn either, but the 0 looked better. The color looks navy in pictures but it is actually a dark, dark, dark teal that passes as navy. I wore nude heels, spanx, and a backless bra (purchased at Target).

Baby-bump and cold weather friendly

I wore this to a gala for my husband's work. It was a perfect choice for my 4-mo. bump with my second baby. I loved that the beading weighed down the sleeves because that helped keep me warm in November, and it helped the dress retain its shape. I'm not sure why it was so flattering but people did not believe I was pregnant at all! I wore it with a simple silver necklace and diamond earrings, nude heels. Definitely runs big in size. Great, easy, stress-free dress!

Glamorous sheen, comfortable fabric

I wore this to a wedding at an exclusive hall. I felt perfectly dressed. The fabric was a little noisy but the length and fit of the size 2 was perfect (my weight at the time was 118; I normally wore a 0 or 2, and my stats now reflect my post-baby body). I am short and have a small bust so the shoulder straps were a little loose but I was never in danger of losing the dress. I am a pear shape and it did accentuate my hips a little more than I would have liked, but for the price and quality it sure beat hours of scouring the mall for dresses that just don't work. Would rent again and would even rent the same dress with different necklines and colors.

Conservative dress for a conservative wedding

The hips fit me as expected but the bust/shoulders was very roomy. (I wore a 2; I have 32B bust). Great, sturdy fabric. I wore it with black heels and chunky faux pearl necklace.
