Fabric feels luxe, neck crazy tight
Absolutely loved the look and feel of this dress. Chose not to wear it as it was very "booby". Looked fantastic but felt inappropriate since I was going with my extended family. Other important note, the collar is choker style. And it is awkwardly tight.

Bold vibrant color + fun and modest
Such a fun dress to wear! I wore it twice. First wore it to an outdoor concert; dressed it down with wedges and a leather jacket. Second wore it to a wedding; dressed it up with sparkling jewels and gold heels. The color is so good. Its bright, its fun, it stands out. High quality fabric lays nicely. The neckline is unique, so I chose not to wear a bra. The dress is lined, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. Its a modest dress too. At the wedding I felt very appropriate.

Classy and sexy
RTR stylist helped me pick this one out. It is everything I needed for my event. I highly recommend this dress. The cutouts are perfectly placed. I've tried dresses with side cut-outs, which are not as flattering. With some adjusting, I was able to wear a normal bra because the cutouts are so well placed. The dress doesn't need a bra, but when in Vegas, that extra "umph" is nice! The fabric was nice and heavy, which helps the silhouette. This was for a birthday party in Las Vegas I was hosting. As such I wanted to feel amazing. And we had lots of family there, so I didn't want to be too revealing. This dress is the perfect balance.

LOVE this dress!
I've rented at RTR for years now -- and this is possibly my favorite dress! Wow! Both the small and the medium fit well. I went with the medium so I could be more comfortable during dinner. The lace is such high quality; it's soft to the touch, and the eyelash fringe is perfectly delicate. The red is gorgeous. I am pretty choosy about red since I am prone to blemishes. This red is just the right color. I wore this to a work dinner and then directly to a party at a bar. With just a few accessory changes in the cab, it was a hit at both parties. I was nervous about the see-through portions of the dress for the formal work dinner. Because the lace was so well done, it was not tacky at all. Also, the high neck, cap sleeves, and knee length helped with the modesty factor. I received tons of compliments and did not feel inappropriate. I felt fantastic! Then at the party at the bar it was a standout dress. Most of the other dresses were sequined or body-con style. This lovely lace number felt classy and the bold red made it sassy.

Felt so good!
The scuba style fabric is amazing! It's soft to the touch, very comfortable to wear, AND it sucks you in. I loved wearing this dress. It was for a work party and I felt very fun and sexy without being over the top or inappropriate. Added bonus! The dress can be worn either-side front. One side has a high neckline and the other side a v-cut neck line. I would rent this one again, in a heartbeat.

Elegant and classy
Such a gorgeous gown! The navy blue is a nice way to stand out in a crowd of black or sequined dresses. The sheer blue fabric makes a z-shape which really shows off a silhouette nicely. I felt glamorous and elegant in the dress. It's also very comfortable, which is a huge bonus! I went with sizes larger than I normally wear, based on other reviews and was happy. I am 5'7" and wore the gown with 4" heels. The skirt still skimmed the floor beautifully (it did not look too long). I felt more comfortable in the size 6, but went with the 8 as I new we were going to be at a 4 course meal and dancing... I wanted the extra room. I would recommend this dress. I would rent it again in a heartbeat.

Sequins in a rockin color!
Very fun color! The sequins shimmer from green to blue. And if you run your hand up the sequins they go black -- fun party trick! The high neck-line balanced out the shortness of the dress. I took off the one-star because it is pretty short. In the photo, it is the perfect length. On me, it was a mini. Which was fun too! The fabric felt very nice, a bit stretchy but not overly much. I recommend this one because it was comfortable (the sequins didn't scratch at all) and the color is very unique.

Gorgeous sparkle, elegant cut, nightmarish sequins
I wanted to love this dress. I shouldn't have worn it out of the room; I regretted it almost immediately. The sequins scratched so badly that I chose to walk around with my arms akimbo. During dinner and the show I tried to limit movement as each time the sequins would scratch and chafe. The next day I had cat-like scratches on my calves and arms from them. The color and the cut of the dress are lovely. I really really wanted to like the dress. I give it two stars because it is gorgeous--and that is worth something! Only rent this if you believe that fashion is pain.
