Favorite RTR Dress So Far!
The dress fit like it was made for me. Beautifully cut and well constructed. Very light and comfortable as well. Highly recommend this one!

Be prepared to receive compliments...
This dress is a perfect combination of class with a bit of an edge. The silhouette is very flattering, and it was a great choice for a fancy evening wedding in November. I am 5'8" and with my smallest 3"heels the long was just a touch short, but still completely wearable. The skirt is lined with a nude fabric, but the top only has small panels of nude fabric covering the chest. I wore a nude bra underneath, but be aware that the top is quite see through and your bra will show, unless you can get away with going sans bra, for which I commend you. Given the chance, I would definitely rent this once again!

Beautiful color, bummer of a clasp
I loved this necklace, but ended up having to take it off after 20 mins of dancing at a wedding because the hook clasp kept coming undone and I was constantly having to put it back on. I would recommend it for a non-dancing occasion!

Stand out dress
I paired this dress with a (rented) turquoise necklace and just loved the color combo. The dress itself is absolutely beautiful, but it is a lot of dress. The fabric is heavier than I expected especially off the hips where I felt it made me look a little bit wider. I loved everything else about it enough to wear anyway. The top fits nice and tight and the color really pops. The dress arrived very wrinkled around the bottom, but I was able to use a portable steamer to remedy this in time. A few tips, the dress is quite long in the regular (I'm 5'8" and wore 3' inch heels and ended up wearing the regular) and I ordered two lengths and a necklace and had quite a challenge getting all back into one UPS envelope. I would request an additional envelope.

Gorgeous dress, perfect fit!
The color, shape, and detail made this one of the top 3 dresses I have ever rented from RTR. I was initially a bit nervous about not being able to wear a bra, but even with a larger bust, I felt very comfortable in this dress sans bra. The lace detail and open back really make this dress special. I paired it with a super bright pink lipstick and loved the look! I definitely recommend this one.

Unique, Beautiful Dress
This dress is very easy to wear. The material is heavy so it hangs nicely and is very comfortable. I wish it had been a little shorter as I am 5'8" and I expected it to fall just above the knee but it was a bit longer. The colors and pattern are very flattering and I would definitely rent it again.

Beautiful gown, but too short
This was my back up dress and luckily I loved the other one I had ordered since this dress was far too short on me with heels, even in the long. I am slightly taller than 5'8" and the dress would have only worked with flats. Since that was not an option for me, the dress was far to short. I didn't feel that I could get away with it being a bit short since it is slim through the knees and then flares out again at the bottom. It really is a beautiful gown and I wish it had been the correct length for me to wear!

A fun & sassy dress for a great night out!
I really liked this dress! I rarely wear body hugging numbers, but I felt like a million bucks in this one at my bachelorette party. The cut outs are completely on trend and add some skin without cleavage or excessive leg. The material has some stretch and it is lined so I was able to wear my black spanx shorts with unsightly see through moments. The top cuts in a little bit so I had to go strapless with the bra. I did find that being bigger chested, my bra would sometimes pop out into the area of the cut out, but not a deal breaker.

Great party dress for a summer night
This was such a fun, comfortable, and flattering dress. I felt great in it and would rent it again, that being said, I always wear a 10 in Erin Fetherston dresses, but this one was the exception. It has a lot of stretch so the fit on top was a bit sloppy and I should have gotten the smaller back up size. I agree with another review that the nude lining on the mesh stripes did prove a bit odd in pictures, but a small price to pay for a fun party dress.

One of a kind dress for a special moment
I wore this dress to a February destination wedding in Mexico. It is so elegant and unique that it was a real stand out. I typically wear a 10, but there is no stretch in the material so I had to wear the 12 due to the chest being too small. I ended up getting this dress when my original choice was returned to RTR damaged. I cannot say enough how impressive the customer service is at RTR. A stylist called me immediately and provided me with all the information I needed to get something else arranged asap. Can't thank them enough!

Perfect Vacation Maxi Dress
I really loved this dress. It is simple with a fun print and a flattering cut. I read that this dress runs a bit big so I ordered the medium long and it fit perfectly. I was able to wear a small wedge heel and the dress hit the floor perfectly. Luckily I wore this on vacation to Mexico in February so I can definitely rent this again in the summer!

Perfect dress for a November Wedding
Beautiful dress with button detail down the back. Skirt is fitted in the waist and hips and falls just below the knee while the top is looser and has some movement to it. I was worried that the sleeves would be tight due to the fabric having no stretch to it, but this wasn't the case at all. The cut is flattering and the color is beautiful. I paired it with gold jewelry, nude shoes, and a nude clutch and loved the classiness and comfort.

Glamorous!
Beautiful, delicate, and surprisingly warm! I rented this capelet to wear over a slate blue/gray bridesmaid dress for an October wedding in Chicago and it went together perfectly. It is definitely a signature accessory that will earn you plenty of compliments!

Beautiful Gown
I ended up not wearing this dress due to liking my back up rental better, but in any other circumstance, I would have loved to wear this dress. The fit and fabric are very flattering, though I felt the dress lacked definition in the waist making me look a bit boxy. Perhaps a smaller size would have done the trick. It is a bit longer in the back than the front and at 5'8" with 4" heels, the long was definitely necessary, in fact my shoes showed a bit more than I would have liked in the front so have some shoe options depending on your height. If I have another formal event to attend, I will give this dress another try!

Best. Dress. Ever.
Absolutely the most gorgeous, flattering, sophisticated dress I have ever had the pleasure of putting on my body. I got this dress as a back up and when I put it on, there was no way the other (also stunning) dress had a chance. The dress is beautifully detailed in a heavier than expected lace pattern with a thin lining inside so your skin peeks through in all the right places. It fell right below my knee and I am 5'8". I would suggest to getting the extra size smaller rather than larger since I wore a 10 and could have easily gone with the 8. Bottom line, if you need a sure thing, rent this dress. It's an A+ all the way.

Great BCBG dress though more on the casual side. It was perfect for the party I attended and very flattering due to the cut and the belt. I would rent this dress again. I typically wear a medium at BCBG though so I would recommend that if you are in between, go a size up.
