Fall Bridal Shower - Lacey Success
I loved the fit of this mock neckline, lace overlay red dress. The color totally popped & was the perfect option for a dressier winery bridal shower. It was very comfortable but I do recommend ordering 1 size up as your additional free dress just in case as it does fit a little snug around the bottom.

Comfortable, Classic & Warm
I wore this to a black tie optional wedding for a South Bend Indiana - in January- wedding. The fabric was heavy enough to keep my legs warm with a simple pashmina draped over my shoulders. The dress fits true to size however the fabric has no stretch. I am smaller chested and this dress was perfect for my top however I could see how others might disagree. I do recommend ordering 2 sizes when renting just in case! I received compliments all night and would 100% rent this again.

Not your Average LBD
I loved this gown because it was slimming, black and had a little edge to it with the cut-outs. The fabric was thick so while it was beautiful and fairly comfortable to wear, it was not the best choice for a summer wedding. (It'd be great for winter!) That being said, it did run a little small because the fabric was similar to ponte (might even be ponte) and certainly pulled in some areas. I was able to move and dance in this all evening without any complaints and certainly recommend it to anyone.

Gorgeous Dress - Zipper issues - Could've easily ruined the weekend but worked out for the best!
Received the dress the night before I was departing for a weekend wedding. I panicked initially because the zipper wouldn't budge when the dress was on the hanger which made me realize that there's no way it'll work on me if I can't even get it down on the hanger! Immediately emailed customer service the following morning to have them send me other options - RTR Staff is FANTASTIC with one small exception: they mailed the replacement gowns to the wrong address. Therefore they never made it to me and were instead sitting on my front porch when I arrived home after the wedding weekend. However, I was able to find assistance with the zipper and after much work, we got it up! The dress got me so many compliments - It was easy to dance in, the color is brilliant. I was more than thrilled that my first choice worked out. Was an amazing weekend for all - and I thank the dress.

So perfect, I wanted to keep it!
The fit of this dress was flawless. I was able to drive 2 hours in traffic to the wedding, sit down and enjoy dinner, and dance all night in this thing. After renting a few fails in the past, I took a gamble and was happily surprised. So thankful this dress pulled through to make a special time more memorable.

Just the right sparkle!
I rented these to match a shoshanna dress for a Wedding last weekend. The earrings were gorgeous statement pieces that were impossible to snag photos of with my hair in the way! (Sorry! Selfie!) Note: These earrings are heavy. Much heavier than you'd imagine - I've been without earrings for 4 days letting my ears heal from Saturday night! Beauty is pain?

Loved the dress...too heavy for summer
The fabric was far too thick to be worn in the dead heat of July. Unfortunately I had to take it off within moments of putting it on because it just was way too uncomfortable.

This dress was definitely a conversational piece. Great Pattern, Bright colors!
I always take advantage of the 'second size for free' option with RTR. However with this one, it came dangerously close to not working out. I didn't see anyone say that this dress ran shockingly small - but IT DOES. Easily could've sized up 2 sizes to be more comfortable. The 8 fit - but the fabric is very thick causing it to feel tighter in the mid section than other places. Sitting through the graduation was difficult - but the dress was too gorgeous on to pass up for photo opp's. Beautiful Dress - but SIZE UP!

I wore this Shoshanna Dress to the Virginia Gold Cup 2013 & It was vibrant, stunning & comfortable.
First and foremost, ladies, you know how it is trying to find a dress that will stand out among everyone else. This dress was the key. Not only was I the only one (that I saw) wearing it, but the colors were perfect for a sun-shiney spring day at the race track. I got plenty of compliments and loved taking photos in it. I wish I could upload more for you! :)

The dress was the perfect amount of classy and cool, and the back was to die for.
The fit was great, I had a Small and Medium sent to me, but honestly I liked having the extra breathing room. Unfortunately it was a little chillier than expected that evening, so a jacket was necessary. I would've taken better pictures but the party was my birthday party inside an upscale sushi lounge in Washington D.C. (Terrible Lighting!)
