Beautiful, Highly Recommend
Fit perfectly, had some stretch too. I didn't have any issues with the bosom area even with smaller boobs. Didn't have to pull it up at all, and didn't drag on the ground with 4" heels. Got so many compliments and I kind of wanted to buy it because of how beautiful it was on. 10/10 recommend.

Gorgeous Formal Dress
I'm 5'7", small bust (about a full A), approx 135lbs. I wore 4" heels, and the back portion just ever so slightly drug on the ground. I originally ordered a 4L (with 6L as a backup), and the 4L fit me fine, but there was an inch of room on each side of the rib cage (I have fuller hips, smaller rib cage). It's the type of dress that just looks a little better if it's more form fitting. The smaller size wasn't much tighter in the arms or other places, it just really helped cinch in the upper bodice look. Luckily RTR has great customer service, because they were able to overnight me a 2L for a very small fee. It was very cozy for a semi-chilly evening (upper 60s, lower 70s with low humidity). I think it might have been super warm in the sun with a higher temperature, so if you're outside a lot and it's not a cooler season, I'd be wary of that. Otherwise, I'd recommend this for any formal event. Lovely dress all around.

Gorgeous, Princess Feeling
This dress was amazing, and I loved wearing it every single second it was on. It not only made me feel gorgeous, but I received many, many compliments. The 4R was the perfect length for the 3.5" heels that I wore (I am 5'7"). It fit me well in the bust, and I have very little there. I will say, the straps were about 1" too long on each side, but I just found some really heavy duty tape, and used some safety pins as well, and McGuyvered them to stay put in the back. It worked like a charm, I danced a lot all night with zero issues (even though I made someone check on them every 20 min). It was comfortable, flowy, and a wonderful rental. Highly recommend.

Cute Bag, Works for Multiple Events
I used this for a wedding, and it was perfect. It held all I needed, plus tons of Kleenex, and matched well. Definitely a great clutch to rent if you're not wanting to invest in purchasing one!

Dazzling and Comfy
This dress was so comfortable, that I was able to dance my tush off for hours. It fits really well, and I was able to go braless (thanks to being small chested). I didn't have any trouble with the zipper, but I did need an assist on the next hooks, just because my fingers could not coordinate themselves. The sequins didn't bother me at all either. I think if you're looking for something that you can walk around in, sit, dance, etc. without having to readjust yourself or worry about an accidental undercarriage showing, this dress is the one.

Modern Princess Lace Dress
I normally wear a 4 in dresses, but since this dress fits differently in the chest from the hips, I wore the 2L. (small chest, wide hips). I had to buy some stick on cutlets to fill out the top portion of the dress, and also some tape to hold it onto my frame in the bust area. Other than that, it was great. The boning did poke a bit like some have said, but that's when it starts to slip down your body. If you just make sure you're not in a melting environment, (this dress will keep you warm! It's layered and heavy), and it should stay on properly so you don't feel the boning. I think I had an issue with this maybe twice after some dancing. I got the L, which made it go about 2-3 inches past where my foot ends. So make sure you have HIGH heels for this if you're shorter and want the length. (I am 5'7", and I wore a 3.5" heel, and still had to hold it up a bit to walk and not trip on the dress). I received a complement from every single person that crossed my path about how gorgeous the dress was - because it is. It's impeccably detailed, and the lace is gorgeous. I added a photo of the color in daylight, plus front/back on me (those are darker because of the venue). I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone who enjoys a strapless, and wants to feel like a modern princess for an evening.

Fell in love, and received the best compliments!
When I pulled out the dress, the fabric seemed a bit dull, and I was a little hesitant (espeically because it was sent to me instead of the original dress I had reserved that was found to be fully booked - but I received wonderful, speedy customer service, so don't let that deter you from renting on this site). However, the dress was lightweight, extremely soft, and so comfortable to wear. It fit true to a size 4 that I normally wear, and the cut is extremely flattering. I'm sad I forgot to get a picture of the back, because it's gorgeous. I did wear a bra with it, but honestly, I could have gotten away without one. My chest is a bit small, so I wanted the bra to add a bit more curves to my frame. Also, this dress made compliments fly at me all night. The best, was when one of the most fabulous, kind gay men sought me out, told me he had been eyeing me all night, and finally was able to come up to me and tell me how amazing the dress was. So ladies, do not hesitate to order this dress ;)

Didn't Actually Wear, But Loved It
They didn't have the size of this dress I wanted, and informed me one day after I had already reserved the dress. (The customer service was great, allowed me to choose 5 other top choices, and shipped me the first available off of my preferences - which I got the Foliage Dress, and wore that one). But I fell in love with this dress on the website, and in person. It's rich in color, and lustrous. I was really sad that the size 4 was rather large on me. (I vary between 4 and 6 on this site, so I chose based off of the particular dresses dimensions and previous reviews). As you can see in the photos, I tried to modify the extra bagginess around my midsection with a belt. It didn't look bad at all, but the other dress just fit me so well, and with both being of similar style/cut, I went with the Foliage Dress. I will say, I loved that this dress had pockets, I loved the length, and I will most likely rent this one in the correct size again if another event comes up that warrants it.

Sexy, chic NYE
Supremely form-fitting, but stretchy around the curves. It accentuated my small bust, and my bum, which was nice since it's a very proper covering of the body. I had zero issues with the wrap, it was just two ties that you pulled in front of you, and then back to knot. There is a lightly sewn panel in the top, so just be careful when putting it on. Do not wear deoderant while putting it on, unless it's clear, because it is one of those dresses where it's nearly impossible to not have it rub under your arms while putting it on. I just shimmied it up, and put it on from underneath (like a classy broad). I wore a basic bra, and a g-string as undergarments, and they worked just fine for me. If I were more ballsy, and it hadn't been cold, I might have just gone commando. Bra was still necessary, as I was nipping from the chill, and it was very obvious with the fabric. Overall, I loved this dress so much, and the color is perfection. I'd recommend this for any type of event, as you can dress it up or down with accessories. I also got a million compliments on it, and I'm sure you would as well.

Versatile, Chic Jumpsuit
I love this jump suit, it's not too dressy, so you can wear it for a casual event, or doll it up with accessories, and wear it to something fancy. I loved the cut, it fit very snugly without being too uncomfortable. The tapered legs really helped lean out the overall look. The fabric is slightly thicker, so it kept me warm, which is nice since I'm cold nearly 24/7. Keep in mind, it is a jump suit, so you will either have to be very flexible at unzipping and rezipping every bathroom break, or have a buddy. I wore it with simple black heels for my 26th birthday event at a local upscale patio bar. Everyone loved it, and I got a ton of compliments (a lot were geared towards how it made my butt look phenomenal). I ordered a 6R and a backup of a 4R. I chose the 6R because it fit my hips better, and the 4R felt too tight. I have large hips though (37"). My overall measurements: bust: 34", waist 28", hips 37" (It feels weird to share that online, but I know it would have helped me choose a size, and I'm honestly not sure what my body type is). Overall, very happy with this rental!
