Perfect amount of holiday sparkle
Rented a size 0, which fit perfectly. It had plenty of room, was super comfortable, and didn't flare out too much in the hips. Unlike some sequin dresses i've worn in the past, it didnt tear up my tights. Also, the model photo makes it look low-cut, but is more modest in person (at least on me). Lots of compliments!

Why so small??
This dress is lovely in person, but sizing is so off! I ordered it before there were any reviews regarding fit. I ordered a XS and an S. I'm normally a size two, and I couldn't even zip the S. I probably needed a medium (or maybe a large?). Had to return and get a different dress. So disappointed!

Sleek silhouette, but too short!
I rented a 2R as a second dress option for a formal wedding. I loved the bold blue color and the subtle showing of skin with the cut-outs, but the dress was too short. I'm about 5'7", and definitely needed another 3-4 inches if I wanted to wear heels. I ended up wearing my other rental. (in the photos I uploaded, I'm barefoot, so it's skimming the floor). I'd be willing to try this dress again in the long size someday.

Great dress, lots of compliments
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding at the end of August. The 2 fit great, very fitted around the ribs, but I absolutely needed a "Long" size if I wanted to wear it with heels (I'm 5'7"). Unfortunately, there was a mix up sending the backup size and I ended up having to wear the 2R, which was a couple inches off the floor. You can tell it's a popular dress, because it definitely looked a little worn/pilled in places. Moderate-weight fabric, so I was comfortable the whole night, including dancing. The mesh along the side makes it visually interesting, and the slightly fuller skirt makes it flattering on the hips. I would absolutely rent this dress again!

Cute, casual dress
I picked this dress as my birthday freebie for a dinner date with my husband. It was freezing that night, so I wore it with tights and boots. It's really comfortable! The fabric is soft, and the skirt has just a little fullness to be flattering on my slight pear shape. I wouldn't recommend if you have really broad hips, though. There's a small snap at the neckline so you don't have to worry about taping or pinning it shut. The XS was comfortable for me (maybe even a smidge loose), so I didn't even try on the S.

Pretty lace, but hated the sleeves.
The sleeves killed this dress for me. They weren't really cap sleeves, more like a piece of fabric that rested on top of your shoulders. I went with another RTR lace dress for my event.

Very pretty, but lays a little funny.
I wore this necklace with a black cocktail dress to my office holiday party. I liked that it wasn't over the top on size and sparkle. It was somewhat understated for a statement necklace. My only complaint is that it just didn't seem to lay right on my neck. it's as if it needed to be a little wider so it didn't "fold up." Not a big complaint, and I still got compliments on it all night, but probably wouldn't rent again. Maybe it would work for someone else.

A flattering LBD
I rented this dress for my office holiday party. It was perfect. The material was thick enough that, even though it was form fitting, it was still forgiving. Yes, the wrist opening on the sleeve was tight to get on, but I have long arms and I didn't have to tug at the sleeves all night. The lace panels on the slide had a slimming effect. I wore with black tights and booties, and I was getting compliments and questions where I got the dress all night.

Clover Canyon never fails!
I wore this dress to a March wedding. I wasn't sure what the weather would be, so I wanted to be at least a little covered up. This dress is so pretty in person. The pattern really stands out from the typical dress, and the fabric is stretchy, comfortable, and hides any flaws. I probably could have rented an XS and been just as comfortable. The Small was a little loose in the waist, so it rode up a bit, but nothing unmanageable.

Perfect size
These earrings are beautiful. I tend to be overwhelmed by large earrings, but these were a great length, and were so lightweight that I forgot i was wearing them. I would absolutely rent them again.

I want to own this!
I loved this dress. It is very form fitting, but super flattering. I didn't wear a bra, but the fabric is thick and holds everything in. I got the XS and S, and the S was just a little more comfortable. I have long arms, and the sleeves were the perfect length. My only complaint was that it would ride up when I was walking, but that happens with any short, tight dress. It's a super sexy dress that still has a lot of coverage.

Such a flattering dress!
I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat! The material is heavy enough that I didn't have to worry about panty lines, even with the all-white back. I recommend planning on wearing a strapless bra because of the sheer black portion on top. Also, the colors and seams give the illusion of a very sleek silhouette. Size two was perfect for me, and it took a minimal amount of adjusting throughout the night.

Very Flattering Shape
This is a really cute dress that was incredibly flattering for my figure, but I didn't end up wearing it. I didn't have any navy or pink shoes, and when I tried it with nude heels, it was just way too much tan color going on. If you have the right shoes, give it a shot!

Love!
Seriously, such a great dress! I wore it to a New Year's Eve event and loved the compliments! It's quite flattering. I had a hard time choosing between the XS and S because the S was more comfortable in the arms/sholders, but the XS hugged my hips much better. Ended up going with the XS and just pushing up the sleeves to mid-forearm. I wore it with a heavier pair of opaque tights, and had some minor snags (ended up throwing the tights away because they pilled up). I would not wear this to a warm event, however. The dress is heavy and lined, so you could definitely get hot if not prepared. Would rent it again in a heartbeat! I was sad to send it back.
