Neckline is a bit restricting
The fit is flattering and the material is comfortable and doesn't wrinkle which is great for commuters! I wore it to work paired with a black blazer. Unfortunately, the neckline cut right at the base of my neck and when sitting it would get a little tight. By the end of the day my neck was irritated and I couldn't wait to take it off. It's not noticeable to others but was distracting and uncomfortable for me.

So easy to wear. MUST rent.
This dress is perfect for so many occasions. Lightweight material and loose fit make it great for hot days. Pairs well with a jean jacket in cooler weather. I wore a plunge style bra so that I didn't need a cami underneath and it was always fine, even in work environments. I wore this for brunch, dinner, work, and a conference. I always got compliments. If this is still available in a year, I'll rent it again and keep it all summer!

Great bag but small capacity
This is a great evening bag that I used many times during my trip. However, due to the innate puffiness, the interior capacity is much smaller that it would appear. I only used it in the evening because it was too small for sunglasses. It's just right for a phone, keys, credit card and, lip gloss but not much else.

NYE Stunner!
Great sequin dress for girls with long hair. The sequins are tight to the dress so your hair doesn't get caught.

EFFORTLESS
This dress hits all the marks. It's flattering, the fabric is a great weight, it's comfortable, you can wear a normal bra. Just overall extremely easy to wear.

very short!
Not the right fit for my body type. My waist is pretty straight so I need to wear dresses that create the illusion of a shape. I think this would look best on a more hourglass figure. Also it's just as short as everyone else says it is. With tights it would be great for a night out but it was certainly too short for the formality of the event I needed it for. Had to return.

not the right size
RTR sent this as a backup when the dress I ordered became unavailable at the last minute. Unfortunately they only had a 6 (too small) and a 10 (too big). Even though I think the 8 would have been the right fit for my body I don't think I have the right arms for this dress. Even in the 6 the arms were a little longer than they look on the model. It was this awkward length between 3/4 length and long sleeves. Loved the weight of the fabric and its such a classy dress. Would look amazing on the right body type.

Didn't have in my size
RTR sent this as a last minute replacement when the dress I ordered became unavailable. Unfortunately they only had a 6 (42) but it was just a little too snug so I had to return it. I think it would have been wearable if it wasn't for the slit in the side. I loved the look of it but because it was too small the slit sat a little funny and I think it made it even more obvious that I was trying to squeeze into a dress that was too small. Beautiful dress though. I'll try to rent it again sometime when an 8 is available.

damaged by previous renter
I didn't get to wear this. The day before it was supposed to arrive RTR called to tell me that the renter before me returned the dresses (both my primary and backup size) damaged. RTR tried so hard to find me a replacement in time but there was nothing appropriate left in my size at the last minute. I had to wear a dress I'd worn several times before out of my closet. Not the point of using RTR. Please be courteous of your fellow renters and take care of these dresses! We all want the opportunity to wear them.

10 stars!!!
I wore this dress to a private event and I was so sad when it was over and I didn't have a reason to wear the dress anymore. I told my sister that I wish I had worn it to something more public because this dress makes you want to be seen, by everyone! For the first time in my life it was fun to feel like people were talking aboout me haha. I loved it so so much that it was painful having to send it back. It was incredibly comfortable and easy to wear. I was one of 10 bridesmaids and I definitely stood out in the line-up. Heads turned in my direction for sure. This is my favorite rental to date. Definitely on the potential buy list.

It was so easy!
I rented this dress as a back up style for a bridal shower. I wore my original choice and my sister ended up wearing this one. She loved the pockets, the color and the fact that you can wear a standard bra. It has a flattering shape and is very easy to wear. I did have to take it to the dry cleaner to have it pressed before she could wear it so I'd recommend getting it delivered two days before your event. Overall great choice. I'll probably rent it again soon so I can actually wear it. Maybe in navy...

The compliments!
I rented this for a summer bridal shower and it was a hit. I'm a bridesmaid so I had to do a lot of runnning around and the pockets were perfect for making sure I always had my camera and phone handy. It's very comfortable. I had the dress on for 9 hours and still didn't want to take it off at the end of the day. All the girls kept telling me I should buy it so they could borrow it! This dress is highly recommended.

It doesn't get easier than this
I rented this for an outdoor summer wedding. I loved that the dress stood out from everyone elses. Pros: light fabric and easy to wear during a hot outdoor occassion, beautiful color, pockets, stretchy band in the back for a comfortable fit at the top. Cons: the boning in the bodice made it hard to sit comfortably for the entire ceremony. I had to sit very straight up and my back started to hurt by the end. The dress came very wrinkled. It was a very rushed weekend as I had to travel to attend the wedding so I didn't have any time to have it steamed. It was a little embarrassing wearing a designer dress that was so wrinkled but I didn't have a backup so I just had to get over it. I still got plenty of compliments. I highly recommend having it arrive two days in advance of your event just in case. Even if I had had it pressed, though, I think it still would have been wrinkled by the end of the night. You can see in my photo that the front of the skirt creased considerably from sitting during the ceremony and dinner. It is a beautiful dress but I think it's better for an occassion of standing, mingling and dancing rather than sitting.
