Colors are great but straps are tricky!
I should have sized down, but think even then the straps would be too big. But it was really well made and the colors were amazing, so I wore it and fiddled with the baggy-ness - worth it!

So many compliments!
This was the perfect rental because I loved how fun it was but was trendy enough that I wouldn't have bought it for myself. I wore it to the beach and received countless compliment (from strangers!). Very fun and comfy to wear.

Cute but too short!
This is a great wash and nice summer weight fabric but I am 5'8" and barely covered my butt! Maaaaybe could use as a beach coverup but did not work for me!

great details!
this is a fun twist on a wrap dress! the lace parts add a fun layer but do not make it too flashy for work. a great solid black dress.

I loved the cut and but the arms were too tight on me. Fabric doesn't stretch and it was narrow there but otherwise a great dress for work event!

Timeless Wrap Dress

Fitted & flattering!
This dress is great. The material really holds you in, and the peplum is positioned in a way that hides any insecurities of your midsection. The mesh around the arms and the cleavage is really sexy without being too revealing. All in all, a great rental especially if you don't want to show your arms or stomach, but still want to look and feel sexy! I will say, I wore it on a VERY hot night in NYC and the fabric is on the warmer side - I would aim for winter & fall to avoid overheating!

Fun, comfortable, easy to wear!
I unfortunately didn't have time to put this dress into my vacation rotation, but I tried it on and it is really great. The fabric and print look really classy, and if you have the foresight to bring a fun (thin) belt, it makes for a great daytime dress. It is obviously loose, so I wouldn't say it's particularly flattering, but would make for a great walking around or brunch dress.

Thick & short
I wanted to make this dress work but it just wasn't practical for my event. It was my birthday party in Miami in May, and the dress is just so thick that I knew I wouldn't want to dance the night away in it. Additionally, it was the kind of short that were I to lift my arms, it would be a little dicey. I did love the pattern and the overall look of it, but I would suggest it for a winter event or a more...stationary evening.

Perfect brunch dress!
I was so excited to wear this dress to my birthday brunch in Miami and it did not disappoint. As mentioned in other reviews, it is a BIT short, but I wouldn't let that deter you from ordering it. I'm somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9" and was comfortable in it and tend to shy away from super short stuff. It is backless, so no bra, but my chest is small enough and the pattern busy enough that I wasn't worried about not having one one. This is a really fun dress to accessorize and I got countless compliments. Great daytime dress!

Best birthday dress ever!
I didn't plan to order this, it was a replacement for a Clover Canyon dress that they weren't able to send. I wasn't excited about it because a) I don't like 1 shoulder dresses and b) I thought the red would look too "Christmas-y". WRONG! This was my favorite RTR to date - I didn't have to wear a bra, it didn't ride up or down or have the usual too long of straps problems that Herve's tend to, and most importantly I felt like a million bucks at my birthday bash! It is a GREAT alternative to a black or white dress and will definitely be an attention getter! SO thrilled my original dress fell through.

Great alternative to a LBD! Fun & different after party dress!
I rented this as a backup dress to the Herve Leger Purple Fusion Sheath, and was lucky that the wedding had an after party at a club so I was able to wear both dresses! This felt a bit too "out there" for the wedding, but I've loved the pattern ever since I saw it on RTR so was thrilled to make use of it. The dress is really comfortable and the pattern is flattering (the white line under the chest cinches the waist), but because of the neoprene fabric, it doesn't stay put very well. It rides up and I had to tug it down relatively often. I thought about wearing the M to make it tighter, but I ultimately went for the slightly looser fit. You could wear a bra if you wanted (I didn't) and don't really need spanx or anything as it holds you in. I don't usually opt for a higher neckline but enjoyed how that changed up the look. Fun dress to accessorize with because anything goes! Would definitely suggest but be prepared to pull it down throughout the night!

First RTR experience & I felt stunning in this dress!
I loved the length of this dress for a wedding. I really wanted a M, for the spanx effect, but it was not available so I gambled with the L. I was worried it would be stretched out, but it was not. As the night went on, it stretched in my waist area and looked a bit loose, but all in all, it came in great condition. However, the bust area was really big and I'm not exactly flat chested. You definitely need to be able to fill it out (I had inserts I used but had I not had those, would have been SOL) and it went too low on my back to wear a bra. On a similar note, the straps are quite long- I wish I had tape but didn't so was cautious of them falling off all night. All that being said, it was very comfortable and flattering both standing and sitting. I would definitely rent again but would probably size down to a M but this did the trick :)
