Wear this if you want to feel like a princess
One of the best dresses I've ever rented. The fabric was thicker and comfortable, it was a stunning shade of blue, and it was the most beautiful silhouette. I chose the long because of my height and heel height (4 inches), but I might have been able to wear the short - I just didn't want to chance it. I did take my shoes off for dancing, and although long, I just held up the skirt and danced. I could have probably done a smaller size, but this was a very comfortable fit, however...it did bunch a little in the midsection due to excess fabric, but that just makes you remember to have the best posture possible. It has no zipper (huge plus), so you just step right into it. Definitely a show stopper, and I received complements all night!

I didn't wear this dress as it was a backup when a size in another didn't show, but it was STUNNING!
I had the most difficult time deciding on which dress to wear between this and another from RTR. This dress is a beautiful darker red than the photo and fit like a glove. I usually wear a size 2-4 but the 0 worked out great due to my smaller rib cage/torso. You don't have to wear a bra, and it was long enough with 4 inch heels on. The pockets are a real added bonus! Although I didn't wear this dress, it would be a stunning choice for any gala or formal event - how many times do you get to wear a ball gown?! Another guest actually showed up in this gown, and she looked stunning in it as well.

It was definitely a pop of color in a room full of black dresses!
I've gained a little weight since I last put on an eventing gown, so I was really nervous about my appearance and if a 2 was event going to fit. This dress hugged all of my new curves perfectly and made me feel very elegant! All night I received a lot of complements and was constantly asked questions about where I got my dress! I wore a strapless bra with the dress just because it was a tad loose up top, but sticky boobs or no bra would work perfectly too. I also wore 3+ inch heels with the regular length. If you wear anything taller than 3 inches definitely get the long!

These earrings were so perfect! Super light, fun, and flirty!
I don't love myself in a strapless dress without lots of jewelry, so I was pumped to have found earrings that were such a close match to a necklace that I already owned! They weren't heavy at all, and to be honest, I completely forgot that I was wearing them! I received a lot of complements, and they definitely completed my outfit!

I wore this dress to check-in for Miss Tennessee Pageant week. I've never had so many complements!!!
I was a contestant in the Miss Tennessee Pageant, and wow, this dress was perfect! You had to show up to check in looking like a Miss TN and this dress did just that! It's a knit fabric, but still very breathable and cool to wear, and it just forms to your body like a glove. I received so many complements and I honestly didn't want to give it back! This will definitely be rented by me again!

Beautiful dress...just not for me :(
I'm so sad that this dress didn't work out for me like it did on everyone else. I ordered the Petite and the Small (the 2 smallest sizes) and they just swallowed me. The fabric was very baggy in the back and it made me look a lot larger than I am. The dress is gorgeous on a hanger, but not the best on my body type. Some pros of the dress are the detailing! The lace is beautiful, and I like how the designer covered the side zipper so that it isn't visible or rubs your skin. The color is a muted, dark periwinkle. Very unique and stunning on all skin tones. RTR was very helpful in wanting to find me another dress the day before the wedding, but unfortunately this event just didn't workout :( This doesn't ruin my experience with RTR, and I will definitely be renting again!

I felt so beautiful in the dress!
I wore this to a "Summer Cocktail Attire" wine tasting and charity event. I LOVED THIS DRESS. It's my all time favorite color and went perfectly with a fantastic necklace I had! I would have loved to have had a size 0 so I wouldn't have to wear a bra, but it was already taken for that weekend. The 2 fit great! It was a little looser in the midsection than I would have liked, but it worked out just fine! With a bra, the dress stayed up and I was able to dance the night away!

This was unique and turned some heads!
Due to some complications with an order (which RTR fixed ASAP) I was able to order 2 dresses on weekend. I chose this dress for a Yacht/Nautical themed concert. It was cute and very different. I did receive compliments, but it wasn't the most comfortable dress. The dress was huge! I was in an XS and had to pull the strings as tight as possible for the dress to give me some sort of waist line. The sleeves are also a little awkward...they are tight around the elbows (and I have tiny arms) and feel bulky. The length was a good length, but be aware that it catches a lot of wind and can easily show some secrets! Overall, I enjoyed the dress, but I don't think I'll be renting this one again.

RTR is amazing and I will rent many more dresses in the future!
I wore this to the Iroquois Steeplechase LookBook Fashion Show and felt amazing in it! I received so many complements :) I'm anywhere from a 0-2 and decided to go with the 0. It was a little tight on the bottom, but because I have a smaller rear it worked just fine. I suggest maybe going up a size if you have a little extra back there! I did have to safety pin the top because if anyone hugged me the top would open and the girls would be out. Overall, loved this dress!

RTR always keeps me from getting stressed out about my outfits!
I rented this dress in navy about 4 months ago for a formal event and absolutely loved it! When I entered a pageant this past month, I knew it was the exact look I wanted for my talent. The dress sparkled on stage and I received so many compliments on it. Keep in mind that this is a shift dress and it is suppose to fit larger than normal.

This dress was more perfect for the night than the one I had originally ordered. RTR made the process so stress free.
Oh my word, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect dress! I didn't want to send it back. I originally ordered a different dress, but both of the sizes became unavailable the day before they were to be delivered. RTR was SO helpful and allowed me to order 2 new dresses (no extra cost)! Reason #12784612749125 why I love RTR! This dress fit beautifully. Yes it's big, but it's a shift dress...it's not supposed to be form fitting. Even though it was loose, it complemented my figure perfectly. Plus the open back is a HUGE surprise (causing a ton of extra compliments) :) It's easy to dance in and definitely draws attention!
