Mixed feelings—got lots of compliments
This is a strange dress. Pros: the material is thick and comfy, the neckline is super flattering, the dress is classy and an understated head turner. Cons: I have no clue what body type could wear this dress without modification. It’s so long. I used two-sided tape and safety pins to shorten the hem a few inches. I rolled the sleeves in at least 5 inches almost to my elbows. Who has arms that long? And, the slit was super high (like to the top of my thigh) and I’m only 5’3”. I felt beautiful and confident with my alterations. I received tons of compliments. I’m just perplexed by the design.

Very pretty with a low cut twist
It’s such a classy, feminine dress with gorgeous colors. I love love Saloni designs. The neckline gives it a bit of *something* since the rest of the cut is conservative. I didn’t wear a bra, and I used fashion tape since the low cut could be problematic. It probably wouldn’t work without an undershirt if you’re well-endowed. I gave it 4 stars because the skirt is see-through and unlined—the top is lined. I got away with it at a nighttime rehearsal dinner, but you should wear a slip if you’re going to be in the sun!

The layers give it a sort of cupcake look
The dress is pretty, but the layers puffed out just enough to make my hips look big. I ended up not wearing.

Cute dress for a farm wedding
The velvet detail made it great for a casual fall wedding. It’s more casual than dressy, but you could dress it up with some heels.

Looks different in person
Not sure how I feel about this dress. I like it in some pictures but I don’t like it in others. I wore it for my wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I expected it to be more pastel-colored, but it is much more vibrant than in the model photo. It’s also longer than expected, and has more poof than I’m used to (prob why I don’t like some photo angles). It’s still pretty and high-quality, and I received lots of compliments. Everyone called it my Barbie princess dress. I’m between 4/6 and the 4 fit me perfectly.

Cute!
Very comfortable thin, light material. Great wedding guest dress. Not a supportive top. Very flimsy and pokey boning, so probably not for larger chests.

Great Easter dress
I loved the is dress! I wore it with a white sweater for Easter church. The straps are adjustable, and I didn’t need a bra.

A great work skirt
I love this skirt and have rented it twice before. I am short-waisted, and the waist hits just-too-low for me. But, it is a classy skirt and helps elevate my work style. I might size down if I rent it again.

The perfect springtime pant
These are the most flattering jeans! I almost bought them, and I’ll definitely rent again. They’re off-white, not white, so they’re perfect for early spring.

Everyday style- the black stripe is rhinestones
This turned out to be one of my favorite rentals yet. The black stripe is made of black rhinestones, which doesn’t come across in pictures very well. It gave my preppy style a bit of an edge, which I liked! Easy to throw on and elevate an everyday look- I wore multiple times and received compliments each time.

Beautiful, classy, flattering
I wore this for my springtime wedding shower and felt feminine and classy. It’s definitely pink, but worked for “bridal.” The dress has the perfect amount of stretch/structure, so it hugs in the right places without stretching out. I am between a 4/6, and the 6 fit me perfectly.

Super cute and lots of compliments
I wore this for a Sunday post-wedding brunch. I'm glad I did because I received more compliments on this than my rehearsal or wedding guest dresses! Very flattering. I did not need a bra. I pinned the straps because they were not adjustable and too long for me.

Beautiful, unique, heavy
I LOVE these classy earrings! They completed my look. I wore for a wedding and received lots of compliments. They were definitely heavy- I made it through the ceremony and the seated part of the reception, but then I took them off. They would have ripped through my ears if I'd kept them on to dance. I wouldn't rent these if you're sensitive to heavy earrings. But they are an eye-catcher if you're looking for subtle glam.

Classy and comfortable. Stretches out over time.
Great, simple dress I wore as a wedding guest. I received lots of compliments and felt classy. I dressed it up with fun RTR earrings. The dress is super comfortable. I didn't have to wear a bra! It did stretch out over the night, which is why I only gave 4 stars. Otherwise, this is a great formal option.

Large bucket bag
Standard large bucket bag. Nice color, great leather material. Probably not tall enough for a laptop, but could fit just about anything else you would need. One note: it closes (barely) with a small magnet, no zipper or clasp inside. So be aware it provides easy access to all contents if you're concerned about not being able to close it or things falling out.

Nothing special
These run TTS, so I messed up by sizing up. I've never noticed this about jeans, but the back pockets fell at a weird spot on my butt and made me look frumpy or saggy? Not sure how to describe it, but it was a strange look. I've ordered better jeans from RTR, so I won't rent these again.

Super cute, size up
This sweater/shirt/dress is great to elevate an everyday look. I wore with tights, and it was a bit short, but good for Christmas pictures. Wore again with black leggings and felt more comfortable. It is slightly itchy, but still bearable without an undershirt. Would rent again! The large fits like a medium.
