Perfectly comfortable dress!

I rented this dress for a party in Las Vegas for my husband's company. I had planned on visiting the store for styling and am so glad I did. This is not a dress I would have ordered online as it isn't my typical style. The stylist had it pulled for me to try on when I got there and it was perfect! The fit was great and I could not have been more comfortable. We paired it up with some dangling earrings and a great bracelet and the compliments poured in! I was able to wear a regular bra and the length was perfect on my short frame.

Tons of Compliments

This dress runs a bit large but it is extremely comfortable and got me tons of compliments even from strangers. I loved the long sleeves so I didn't need a wrap. I was worried that it would be too long but that wasn't a problem at all. I do think it is cut for a taller person. The color is rich and a great option when you don't want to wear black again.

Beautiful Color

This dress is beautiful in color, fabric etc. However, the lack of give in the material made it less comfortable than other options. I am 5' 3" and this dress was very short.

Did not fit at all - huge!

This is my first bust from all of my rentals with RTR! I ordered both the small and extra small and both were very very large and terribly unflattering (I am a true size 2). I was so disappointed as I had read the reviews and thought the style and material would work for me. My order was at the last minute so getting a replacement would not have been possible since the day the dress arrived was the night of my event. The color and material was nice and I can see how other reviewers felt secure and comfortable wearing it. It is a quite thick stretch material. I think it might be better for someone with a longer torso as the body hit me in a strange place. Also unless you can fill out the size you order you may want to wear a low back bra.

Perfect Bling

This is the 2nd time I have rented this necklace. The first time I was worried about the quality because it was so inexpensive. Well, have no fear! This looks much more expensive. I love that the ribbon not only adds an additional element of style and color but it allows you to adjust the length of the necklace. I rented it this time for my daughter paired with the Narciso Rodriguez dress. It was that perfect subtle but blingy touch!

LOVE These

I have had my eye on these for a while now as I browse the RTR accessories. From the moment my RTR box arrived I put on these and wore them every day of the rental! They added that extra touch to my outfit for work, were amazing for my dress at the wedding and added an extra something to my casual jeans outfit. I need to find these and buy them! Will definitely rent them again.

Didn't Work

I had read the reviews that this dress ran large but what they really mean is that it is cut for a tall person. It would have fit perfectly if I could have hemmed the straps and pulled the dress top up about two inches. The torso is just way too long for my petite frame. Neither size worked. Lucky for me my back up dress was the most amazing dress I have ever worn. 3 stars because it is a nice dress - great colors, love the fabric, and who doesn't love Kate Spade. Also, RTR is the best! But those who are vertically challenged should we aware. . .

Pop of Color!

This was my back up dress. As my daughter zipped me up we both realized it was as if the dress was tailored perfectly to me. The color really is a bright pink. I mean really bright! But the great black edging makes it very classy and adds a finishing touch. I wore the House of Harlow bangle bracelets with it and black patent pumps. This is the most comfortable I have been at a function! My husband is looking for the dress so he can buy it for me to have permanently!

Great Color, Perfect Length!

I rented this for my daughter to wear to a family wedding. She is 6'1" and I wanted to be sure that the dress would be long enough. I consulted a stylist and the dress was perfect. It hit just above the knee. Of course being a teenager she complained that it was too long but the compliments were showered upon her all night long! The color is a beautiful deep coral.

Classy enough for a work event - Sexy enough for Vegas

I attended a work event cocktail party in Las Vegas so I was in the position of having to be conservative enough while attending a Vegas party at a club! This dress fit the bill perfectly. It is form fitting (sexy) but not low cut or too short to be inappropriate. The material was a bit thicker than I expected. The dress was very comfortable. Being short I was worried about the length but it hit just above my knee.

Fabulous Finishing Touch!

These earrings are amazing! They are large but not overbearing or obnoxious. They are the perfect elegant finishing touch to the outfit. They are stone but not too heavy. I loved them and wanted to keep them!

Choose another option if you are short.

I was so excited to wear this dress and so disappointed when I tried it on. This dress is two pieces - a nude slip and the lace overlay. The slip (marked a size S) was super tight. The bust area did not fit at all and cut off my bust across the middle. The straps are adjustable but it plain did not fit. The lace part was enormous (also marked a size S). It gapped in the chest, was not fit to my body at all and seemed to be made for someone who is 5' 10" or taller. The dress came down to my mid knee when it wasn't riding up while walking. The lace is elastic and from wear had pieces of snapped elastic in various places. There were also strings at the seams of the wrists etc. Just an overall miss for me but thankfully RTR makes things easier with the back-up option!

These bangles catch the light so beautifully. There even seemed to be some iridescent glow. I only wore 7 of the 8 bangles but it was the perfect accessory to my simple black dress. They were even comfortable!

Perfect, Simple, Flattering Dress

This dress is a great material with a style that is very figure flattering. The style is simple but can easily be dressed up with some blingy bangles and/or a statement necklace. The best part of the dress is that it is so comfortable you won't want to change!

Great color to complete the outfit!

The color is fantastic and complimented my outfit perfectly. Sat at the right length for the dress as well - just below the collar bones. It was a bit lighter (in weight) than I expected and was not a really great quality metal but it suited the occasion and provided the finishing touch!

The Answer to the LBD!

I love this dress! It was my alternate selection and I ordered a size 6. My first choice worked for me so I did not end up wearing this but I would have needed a 4 if it was really going to work perfectly. There is a shiny satin fabric under the lacy overlay and details like the gold zipper pull in the back are great touches.

Comfortable flattering look

My husband loved this on me so much he asked if we could buy it. The cut and fabric are high end. The pockets and bright color make it comfortable and fun. I finished the look with with some great heels and a periwinkle blue necklace. I ordered the 4 and 6 and went with the 4.

Beautiful for prom! I got the 2 and 4 regular and ended up wearing the 2 due to being smaller on top. The regular did show my feet so if you are 5' 6" or taller I'd order the long. I also ordered some dangling earrings and a bracelet which really completed the elegant and effortless look in this dress.

Wore Option 2 Instead

This was a beautiful dress. I loved the fabric, quality and style - on the hanger. I was unhappy with how it looked on my curvy body. I ended up wearing my back up option instead. I had my 6 foot tall, 140lb teenager who has no hips try it on and it was magnificent on her. . .

Lovely Dress

This was my back up dress to wear for my daughter's high school graduation. It looked so great on me that it moved into the #1 spot! Beautiful fabric and colors and it draped so nicely. I loved the fact that a normal bra could be worn as well.

This was my 2nd option for prom and I ended up wearing the other dress. I am smaller on top with some hips and this dress did not flatter! I really wanted it to work and it looked like it would work nicely but the fit was strange on my body.

These earrings absolutely completed the ensemble for my daughter's prom. They were better than both of us expected in quality and beauty. I just rented them again - this time for me for a formal holiday party for next month.
