Perfect LBD
This dress is so well-made and the material is so structured that this will frame you and work for a number of different occasions. I wore this to a NYE dinner with a girlfriend, and I felt so special in it. 10/10 would rent again.

The fabric is soft and the dress is very well-made. Looks exactly as pictured in the reviews. I wore this dress to my parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary dinner and got tons of compliments, especially on the color!

Perfect Dress!
I wore this dress to a high school graduation for my former students, and it was absolutely perfect. The fabric doesn't wrinkle at all, which makes it super easy to throw on. The collar and belt detail make it even easier; no pressure to accessorize or add anything else to the outfit. I had a turquoise bag, brushed out my hair, and went! I would definitely rent this one again.

Grab your steamer!
This dress is adorable for a summer party. I wore it to my 20th high school reunion. The fabric is very light and breathable, but be sure you have a steamer or an iron to get out the rumples and wrinkled. The fabric is super thin, so a steamer would work best! It was really cute.

Thick and Luxurious
I wore this dress for my anniversary dinner. I thought I would be cold but the material is THICK. It was perfect without wearing tights and just a formal pair of boots. It fit like a glove but was also really warm. I loved the chunky pattern detailing and the length was perfect. I felt both comfortable and glamorous. Would definitely rent again!

DO A SIT TEST!
Great little dress and VERY sexy. Be warned: tall girls should absolutely do a sit-test before leaving the house. I was unable to wear the dress without a boy-short underneath as I was completely sitting on my bare tush after a few minutes. Would definitely rent again in colder weather but would wear thick tights.

DO A SIT TEST!
This skirt is super adorable. I loved it so much. One caveat, for tall girlies, make sure you do a sit test in the skirt before you go out. At dinner, I was absolutely sitting on my tush! Though I'm definitely not a prude, I wish I'd done a sit test before leaving the house and maybe worn a boy-short underneath.

These earrings were the perfect addition to my outfit for my birthday. Be warned: if you have elongated holes due to gravity/tearing, these will droop without the proper stoppers in the bag. Otherwise, they're lovely. Would definitely rent again!

Lovely dress; so cute; Steam the hem!
Got so many compliments on this dress at my friend's summer baby shower, and it was completely adorable. This would probably be a better outfit for spring or summer (not the most breathable in very hot weather), but I felt so put together. If you rent it, be sure to steam the hemline, as the ruffle gets a little crushed in transit. Runs true to size.

Steam It! Steam It! Steam It!
This is a gorgeous dress/caftan with so much beautiful detail. I got a ton of compliments. Be sure to steam the fabric thoroughly before wearing, and also you might want to freshen up the dress with a wide belt, as the drawstring can be a bit underwhelming next to the bold colors/pattern. Would rent again!

I, sadly, could not wear this dress because I was ill and could not attend the planned event. That being said, it was adorable.

Hips Beware!
I loved this dress and wore it for a NYE dinner date. It’s gorgeous. Be mindful, if you have wider hips then definitely size up. I’m usually a 2/4, and the top half was perfect but the bottom was just a bit snug. It was still a great dress and would definitely wear it again.

Show Stopper
The dress is form fitting, so I got my typical size and sized up for my backup. The low back is very pretty. Be careful to make sure your shoulders are all the way inside the dress or it will slip down. The dress is well lined and the sequins are both tasteful and elegant. I would definitely rent it again.

Very sexy and chic dress.
Here's the thing: this dress is very sexy, so if you're not comfortable with showing off the WHOLE thing (it does not leave much to the imagination), then you should go with something else. It's a show-stopper - tons of compliments all night. It was comfortable, easy to wear, but it's not for someone who needs a lot of bust support - I don't know how a strapless bra would work with this. It was easy to sit down and eat during the wedding, and it was so much fun to dance in it! The slits make it easy to walk and move. The dress I got was a bit worn out and clearly had been worn one too many times, but it's a gorgeous color and hugs every curve. For someone like me with minimal curves, it showed off what little I had and made me feel like a total babe. Great dress.

Beautiful dress for black tie event!
This is a gorgeous dress. The skirt is lined so it makes a full A-line (great for photos and very glam), and the skirt is heavy enough if you want to wear to a cold weather event with a shawl or shrug. The neck and bust were a bit tight (I'm usually a 0R), so I ordered a size up in the 2R which was perfect! The length is also lovely (I'm 5'8" and wore 3 inch heels). Lots of compliments - makes your but look AMAZING.

Flattering Show Stopper
This dress is SEXY. If you are looking for something conservative, this is not the one. It's neoprene fabric HUGS the body, and you're going to see any underwear if you're not wearing Spanx or tights. It's cute, but definitely not formal. The best place to wear this would be a fun party or casual evening out. It's not really wedding-friendly, especially if flow and fabric are the usual sightings. This is fun, slightly playful, and definitely a hot look.

Beautiful Dress, but NOT for the skinny girl
This sounds like an ivory tower situation, but I don't have a body. I barely have a chest, hips, or butt in any way, shape or form. I was excited about renting this dress because it had movement and the cool weather definitely required warm sleeves. However, the cut was not great for under my arms/bust and the dress did absolutely nothing for my figure. If you have a larger bust and/or want to give some shape to a curvy figure without looking like you're wearing something too tight, THIS is the dress for you. This is definitely not meant for someone who needs a little bit of support (pun intended) for a small frame.

Beautiful colors and the pattern stood out!
The dress has a mini-skirt underneath, so if you have long legs BEWARE. You may want to consider wearing tights or hose, if you're modest about showing a lot of leg. The slit is very high and prominent. The size was great, and it fit perfectly!

Summer Outdoor Appropriate
I rented this for a wedding, but once I tried it on I didn't find it appropriate for the occasion. This dress is very flattering and the color is stunning. However, it's much more appropriate for an outdoor/garden affair than an indoor wedding in the cooler seasons. I would definitely rent it again for a different occasion if I could wear it without tights or a cardigan/shawl. It's gorgeous, just not for colder months and more formal occasions.

Classy & Timeless
I loved wearing this dress. It made my waist look absolutely tiny, and I really liked the belt detail. I rented it for an evening wedding, so it was most definitely formal enough for the occasion but I could still dance and be completely comfortable in it. Since it was cold, I wore tights and black heels. The sparkle was very subtle, but the silhouette was absolutely gorgeous and made me feel glamorous.

Subtle and Classy
I thought the dress was pretty and appropriate for a formal evening occasion. I wore a high bun, black pashmina and dark heels to make it slightly more sophisticated. I received several compliments, but the dress is certainly not a show stopper. It's understated and safe. I most likely wouldn't rent it again, but it was very comfortable and felt chic enough for black tie. Side note: the underarms are quite low, so you have to be careful what under garments you wear with it.

Just too small...
The dress was stunning, but even after ordering BOTH my size and the size up, the dress was just too small. The neoprene bunched terribly around my hips, though the bust fit fine. I would have been able to wear it for a more casual occasion in a different venue, but the tightness made it very inappropriate for a formal wedding.

Not a great find. I was disappointed.
I ordered this dress as a back up for the original dress I ordered from RTR for a black tie wedding. The dress was, unfortunately, a huge disappointment. Fortunately, though, I LOVED the other dress I ordered. This dress, though very pretty in the pictures, was not very flattering on my figure at all. The straps were far too thin and cut into my shoulders far too much, even with the correct sizing. Also, the bust is not flattering for someone with a slight frame and small bust. It was far too difficult to get a strapless bra under it, but not supportive enough to go without the bra. I wouldn't rent this one again.

Unique, Glamorous, and Comfortable
I ordered this dress purely because I'd never seen anything like it before I saw it on RTR. I absolutely fell in love with it. It fits perfectly through the bust and waist, but do be careful that you know that the A-line skirt is a bit fuller at the sides (imagine a bell curve) than the photos suggest. It does jut out slightly, so if you don't like a fuller skirt look (in spite of the thin fabric), be aware that it will stick out more than the pictures show. Also, the material is very stretchy and almost feels like bathing suit material mixed with scuba gear. It makes for a VERY flattering shape because it hugs the body in all the right places, but it's definitely not an ideal dress for dancing or hot weather. Wear it in colder climates or just for a dinner dress. I wore it to my birthday dinner, and it was a big hit! I can't wait to check out more Clover Canyon styles. It was truly a magnificent dress. No regrets.

Very Sassy and Fun Dress!
I loved this dress. However, it was VERY short in my size. I am 5'8" and usually a 0, but the 0 bunched around my hips/waist and made the dress way too short and almost obscene to even consider wearing. Thankfully, I got the size 2 as my second size. Though it didn't hug my waist as well as the 0, it gave enough room in my hips that the hem fell in a much more appropriate spot. I would suggest wearing with tights or pantyhose. If you have wider hips than your typical height/weigh frame would suggest, definitely order a size up. You can belt it, if you need.

This dress was spectacular, and I felt fantastic in it. I have absolutely no complaints.
The dress doesn't have adjustable straps, so beware that you might have to wear a strapless bra or cups in order to fill in the center-pinched bust. The sequins are not at ALL overpowering. They are very subtle and tasteful and do not overwhelm the dress at all. The dress is also lined very nicely so it doesn't at all itch and holds up beautifully over the course of several hours. If you have a small waist (even without a larger bust or hips), it highlights all curves perfectly. It was a gorgeous dress. I'm so glad I got it for the black tie wedding I attended.
