Complements all night long!!!
I wore this dress to my first college Greek formal. It was super comfortable and the sequins did not fall off and we're not itchy. Because I am only 5'4" I did hem the dress about 3 inches to get the length I desired. I would definitely rent this again because I did not have to sacrifice function or comfort for fashion!

Beautiful. Elegant. Classy.
I wore this dress for my high school graduation. I was told I was the best dressed because of the pockets and the ruffled front. The dress did run large in the torso, especially for an extra small I found it quite loose. The crossing straps in the back are adorable. I found that it was a little more low cut than on the model so I used fashion tape. Overall a wonderful and comfortable dress, RTR never fails!!!

PERFECTION.
I wore this to my senior prom. I received countless compliments on how unique and beautiful it was. One of the mothers of the people I was taking photos with came up to my mother and said that if she could, she would snag this dress off my back right then and there:) She said she'd never seen a more elegant dress and would then be renting it asap once we told her about RTR. I have sworn by ML countless times but I think this is my new favorite. It photographs amazingly and is more understated purple that glimmers. The dress was very long on me, despite wearing petite (I'm 5'4 and wearing 4 inch heels in the pics and it was still a bit long). I found that the zipper was quite rugged but the bodice was very sturdy because of it. There is a built in clasp that acts like that of a bra clasp that keeps you locked in. The pockets were the best detail. In my mind this dress put all others to shame!

Regal & Elegant
I received this dress as a backup for my original prom dress. It made an even better last-minute senior photoshoot dress. I added a sparkly belt and it turned into the most enchanting piece I have ever worn from rent the runway. The zipper was very difficult to get to work but once it did it supported the dress very well. You will need to steam the dress before you wear it because it will wrinkle during shipping. With the pockets as the icing on the cake, I can say this is probably the most overlooked dream princess dress and it WILL make you feel like royalty.

Compliments all night long, one of a kind in a sea of LBDs.
The straps did run slightly large but were comfortable and did not slide off. There is no padding in the top half so I used fashion tape to add padding in from one of my bras and it worked like a charm to get the shape and support I felt comfortable with. The dress shines from every angle and in all lighting. The quality is impeccable. Even though I have slimmer waist and larger chest than average, I thought the dress would be snugger but I still used a LOT of fashion tape to cover all possible wardrobe malfunctions. Overall, a great dress for my senior homecoming and was one of a kind.

YOU. NEED. THIS. DRESS.
I wore this for my junior prom. Midway through taking photos with other couples I had people come up to me and ask where I got such an incredible dress and that they decided on the spot they were getting if for their next prom/wedding/event PERIOD. The lift in the front was perfect and made dancing effortless. I wore a backless bra from aerie that was supported the whole night by the snug torso of the dress even though the back was very open. One should have absolutely no fear of going braless if they wish to do so, either way works in this dress. The thick material is all there is, there is no padding. The pockets were the icing on the cake, just big enough for my phone without feeling clunky. The zipper was slightly rugged but overall was the main support mechanism of the dress. I ordered the 0R and the 2R. I have a small waist so I wore the 0R but both dresses gave much room for my legs. This dress was in no way restraining. The fabric literally glows in the sun and is super soft. It appears more pinkish on the website but is truly a mix of pink, purple and fuchsia. Originally, I thought this dress was on the louder side but in a sea of LBDs it made my night unforgettable.

I rented this for homecoming my junior year. It was truly a showstopper and I will be renting again!
This dress was truly one of a kind! The length was perfect and so was the fit. The navy and gold flowers shimmered from every angle. The fabric was thick but super comfortable and did not make you sweat. I literally had no worries in this dress and will definitely be renting again if not buying!
