Great dress for a 1920's themed party

This fit great, worked well for a flapper costume, but was still unique enough to get compliments!

Perfect cut

I have been wanting to wear this dress for a long time. It is as beautiful as I thought it would be. The cut is so flattering, especially if you don't have a lot in the chest area. It was perfect for a November wedding at the Grove Park Inn.

Doesn't stay put...

This dress had a lot of potential. I rented it as my backup for a wedding, and so I wore it the evening before to the rehearsal dinner. It looked cute from the back, but it just didn't fit right up top and it would not stay put. I kept accidentally showing my sticky bra because the dress would slip one direction or another.

Perfect Fit

I really liked this dress for my company x-mas party. It is classy, but with a bit of sass in the back. It does run a bit long, but I think that is okay considering the open back and tight fit.

Really pretty fabric, but very conservative dress

This dress was my backup for NYE. I was pleasantly surprised by the fabric - it is really thick, high quality, with lots of silver in it. It fit well and was flattering, but felt too conservative for someone my age.

Perfect mix of formal and edgy!

I was a little nervous about this dress, but it ended up being perfect for the event! We went to a gala on NYE that was formal, but many girls wore cocktail dresses. This dress is great because it is formal, but still fun. It is so unique that 5 different strangers stopped me to tell me they loved my dress. The only downside is that it was a few inches too long, even with heels on. But I am very short (5'1"), so I don't think most girls will have this issue.

This dress is classy and flattering. It fit like a glove. It is a bit long (although I am only 5'1"), but I thought it was appropriate given how tight the dress is supposed to fit. I would definitely wear this one again if I owned it!

Couture dress perfect for a formal event

I really loved this dress - it fit like a glove and it looks anything but ordinary. The only problem that I had with it was how much the tulle poufed out. The skirt was so full (and I have twigs for legs), that it was borderline juvenile on me. Still beautiful though!

This one just doesn't work

This dress was huge on me. Granted, I typically wear a 0, but the 2s on RTR work for me most of the time, but not this one. It was bulky and falling off of my body.

Gorgeous and loud dress for NYE

This dress is so pretty in person. The colors and sequins make quite a statement, but it is still comfortable. I would rent this all over again for NYE. A few important things to note: This dress runs small and short. I am very petite and usually wear an XS, but this XS was made to fit a small child. The small fit well, so I would definitely rent a size up. Secondly, the dress is actually designed differently than shown on the model. The straps don't come out wide on the shoulders and the back goes high up on the neck and doesn't come down in a V shape. I still loved the dress, but I am not sure why the model is wearing a different dress than what they are sending.

This dress is adorable. It is super classy and flattering with the black lace overlay, but has an unexpected bit of fun wiht the tulle at the bottom. I was a little nervous about this rental, but I ended up loving it afterall! Zero complaints about the fit.

This dress is awesome - the colors and the low back make heads turn. I got so many compliments at the rehersal dinner. The comments from other reviewers are true though - the dress is much, much tighter on the hips and legs than it looks on the model.

This dress fit perfectly. And i think it might look even better in person than in photos. The color is beautiful, and the length worked for me. I probably could have pulled off heels or flats. I got a lot of compliments throughout the evening :)

Not made for short girls

I was excited about this dress, but it was one of the few rentals over the years that did not work for me. I am 5'1", and this dress was designed for someone about a foot taller than me. The straps on the dress were so long that my chest would have been flashed to the world if I had worn it. It also came down to almost my knees. Also - the pictures make the material of the dress seem shiny. The fabric is actually very think and less dressy than it appears.

The color and cut of this dress

This dress was my backup, but I ended up falling in love with it. The color and fit were perfect, and exactly as shown on the model. A few things to note for future renters: the material is fairly thick, so it is probably not an ideal summer rental. Also - a few past reviews mentioned this, but there is a seam at the boobs that creates the illusion that you are nipping. It is not so extreme that it ruins the dress, but it may bother some people.

Beautiful color and design.

This dress is unique and eye catching. I wore it to my boyfriend's brother's formal wedding. Many of his brother's friends came up to me to tell me they liked my dress. It is sexy but classy at the same time. As others have mentioned, there is a small train in the back so it is difficult not to step on throughout the night.

Pretty but not stunning

I liked this dress, but I didn't love it. It is classy and sleek, but didn't have a wow factor. It also didn't fix quite the way I would want it to. I had read reviews that mentioned that the dress runs short. Since I am 5'1", I didn't think it would be an issue for me. However, it is REALLY short - I would not have been able to wear any amount of a heel with the size 0 dress. Also, it was the tightest on my chest, and not super fitted on my waist like I would prefer. This was my backup dress anyway, so I didn't end up wearing it.

Beautiful dress, but a bit casual for a black tie event

I really loved the color and fabric of this dress. It was incredibly comfortable and lightweight. And the fit was great - because of the flowy design and elastic band in the middle, I think it would look good on a lot of girls. I rented this as my backup for a NYE formal event. My other dress seemed much dressier in comparison, so I didn't end up wearing this one. I would definitely consider it again for a party or wedding.

Perfect NYE dress!

This dress is really beautiful. I felt like a million bucks at the gala I attended for New Year's Eve. As mentioned by a previous wearer, the dress has slits that allow for extra padding. Adding some padding from a bathsuit let me go bra-less! A few caveats though: 1) The dress was much longer than I anticipated based on the sizing chart. Now, I am only 5'1" - but it was about 3 inches too long even with 3.5 inch heels. I had to pin it up with gold safety pins to make it work. 2) The dress isn't quite the color shown on the model. It is a darker gold, more towards a copper color. 3) The dress is heavy because of all of the beading.

Beautiful, but big

I got these earrings as my surprise bling. They were gorgeous, but way too big for the occassion. I was going to a company Christmas party, and these earrings would have overpowered the rest of my outfit, so I decided to go with jewelry I already had.

fit like a lace glove

This dress is beautiful. It looks expensive and gives you amazing curves. It has a bit of boning in the bodice to give it more structure. For those of you who can't tell, the dress is actually really dark blue, not black. It looks great with nude heels. I did have to wear a backless bra because the opening in the back would have shown my bra line (i am short though).

I thought this was a nice statement piece to balance out a dainty dress. It also worked well with my colorful dress (yellow) because it is a neutral. I would definitely rent it again!

I love this necklace. I actually didn't end up wearing it because it did not look right with the dress I rented (a one shoulder), but I wish I owned it because I think it would be perfect for a simple solid dress for a pop of color.

spinning in this dress on the dance floor!

This dress is bright and made me smile :) The flow of the skirt is the best part - especially when you are dancing. It fit well, except that the top was a little big. The dress also tends to flatten your chest a bit.

This dress is beautiful. I loved the sweetheart neckline and the lace with the satin underneath. It is dressy, but not too dressy. The one difference from the picture is that the underneath layers tend to hang below the lace layers a bit.

first ever rentals (of many)

I was asked to wear a purple dress to do the guest book at my friend's wedding. This one worked out perfectly. The back is georgeous. However, the dress was short on me, and I am not very tall (5'1''). Also, the side boob tends to show a bit becuase it cuts low in the back.

Getting to tell everyone about RTR after they commented on my dress!

This dress is perfect for a classy evening when you still want to feel sexy. It did run a bit small (I wore the 2 even though i'm usually a 0), but the bigger size fit really well. I didn't notice in the picture, but the dress is a bit long (well, for a short person like myself), but I still loved it!
