Well-made clutch with lots of room

The clutch was very roomy, which I prefer to avoid having to pack and repack and cram or pull one item out just to get to another in a tiny clutch. The zipper detail was fun but a bit rough.

Beautiful feminine dress

This dress was just what I wanted for a spring wedding where the ceremony was at a church and the reception was at a lodge at a park. The print, flowy material, and ruching in the bodice make this dress very feminine. The top is just a bit tight and has very little stretch, so be careful when choosing a size.

I loved this bag. It's a beautiful blush color. I just wish it were a little bit bigger.

Beautiful clutch, easy to carry, lots of room

This is a great go-to clutch. It is large enough for plenty of mist-carry items, it is soft and easy to carry, and the embossing makes it a bit more interesting than a plain gold clutch.

Classically beautiful, comfortable dress

I love the vibrant color. The fit is shapely yet comfortable. I would prefer a lower neckline or perhaps a v-cut in the back. The dress was just a bit too conservative for my taste.

Classic sexy dress, great fit

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding. This dress was one of my favorite RTR rentals. The fit, neckline, and color make this dress classic bombshell sexy. It is very comfortable. The material reminds me of a very flexible, breathable wetsuit. No zipper required, just pull it on. I only needed shapewear to avoid VPL. The dress is its own shapewear. I received many, many compliments. Fits just a bit small.

Fun glittery clutch, lots of space

This was a really fun bag. It fits plenty of gear for a party. I had a phone, cards, cash, lipstick and balm, and a wedding card with room to spare. The glitter was scratchy. That's the only reason I knocked off a star.

Beautiful embroidery, but a bit matronly

The embroidery was beautiful and the material flowed and moved well as I walked. The zipper stuck a bit. I needed help. The look was a bit matronly. In hindsight, it would have been a better pick for work or church. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner at an Italian restaurant (so the lace and embroidery seemed to fit the Italian look). I received a couple of compliments, but I would have preferred a sleeker, sexier look.

Very comfortable

Tart jersey dresses are always so comfortable. The colors were perfect for the setting--a casual welcome party to kick off a wedding weekend in the Sonoran Desert. The neckline was great--low but it didn't show my regular bra at all. And with short wedges (about 1.5") the length was just right.

Great dress

This dress runs just a bit on the large side. I wore the 2 to make sure that it couldn't slip down while dancing. The material is a bit thick, which made for a well-constructed dress but wasn't too hot despite the 100+ degree heat index. I'm usually not comfortable in strapless dresses, but this dress was quite comfortable.

Classy and sexy!

I really enjoyed wearing this bright number to a bachelorette party. The material has some give so it fit just right and was very comfortable. The slip in the dress matches the dress and has a cute scalloped lace edge that peeks out a bit when you sit down. I got lots of compliments. I wore the dress with large gold earrings, no necklace or bracelet, and nude pumps and clutch. I highly recommend this dress!

I love pairing Lilly clutches like this one with my RTR dresses. This bag is just the right size and I love the contrast between the embossed leather and the ladylike bow. I have also rented the wishbone and elephant Lilly clutches. I highly recommend these clutches paired with RTR dresses.

Beautiful lace dress, really pops

This is a high-quality lace dress and the strawberry red really pops on the navy underlay. I only bumped it down one star because it is a bit on the short side, so I had to be careful on the dance floor and when I crossed my legs. Otherwise, it was fabulous. I got lots of compliments on it too.

Lovely dress

I did not end up going with this dress since it was my backup dress and my first-pick dress looked fabulous. That being said, this is a beautiful dress, the color beautiful (and more interesting than a standard black), and it fits well and comfortably. Note that it is a sheath dress, so for me it wasn't as flattering on my hourglass shape (it is rather loose around the waist on an hourglass) as the first-pick dress.

Absolutely loved this dress!

This dress was really beautiful and fit quite well. The blue underlay has purple tones so the color is more interesting than a standard navy blue. The material has a bit of stretch, so it fit well even around the waist. I got lots of compliments on the dress, as I have with every RTR dress I have worn. I highly recommend it!

Sexy yet elegant dress

This dress was perfect for a black tie wedding. I think it runs a tad bit large because I rarely wear a 2, but the 2L fit just a bit better than the 4L. The dress does have a little bit of a train, which is beautiful, but watch out for people accidentally stepping on it. The length was perfect for me with a 3-4" heel. The lining is silk and the fit was not too tight so it was surprisingly comfortable. The material flows beautifully when you walk. I highly recommend this dress!

This was the perfect clutch to carry with a fire engine red gown I rented for a black tie wedding. I paired it with gold sandals. The clutch is the perfect size to carry a phone, cards, cash, and a few other essentials, and I loved the wishbone accent.

Great party dress!

This dress really sparkles and the midnight blue is very flattering. The balance between the conservative neckline and sleeves and the short hem is perfect. This is truly a sheath dress and the fabric is not very stretchy, so if you have an hourglass or pear shape like me, know that this dress will probably be loose in the waist and a bit tight in the hips. Nevertheless, a great dress for a party, wedding, or formal affair.

Horrible fit

I usually order 2s and 4s from RTR, so when I read the fit info on this dress I rented a size 6. The "fit specialists" should not say that this dress is good for an hourglass figure. I don't think any size would have fit me well. My measurements are 36-26-38, and the dress was very tight in the hips, very loose in the waist, and yet the bust was gaping even though I wear a 34C/32D. I noticed someone left behind a safety pin in the bust, but even that didn't help me. There is also no stretch in the material, so there's no flexibility in sizing. This dress seems ideal for a woman with a straight/boyish body type, with double-sided tape to keep the bust from gaping.

Beautiful and comfortable

I wore this dress for a wedding after-party. It is a beautiful, bold royal blue. The style is somewhat casual because of the tie belt, but the material keeps it just formal enough for a semi-formal event. It fit perfectly. Loved it.

very fun dress!

I wore this dress out to pick up my wedding dress, out shopping, then to my bridal shower and loved it! The colors are so fun, the quality of the fabric and cut is excellent, and I got lots and lots of compliments. It runs large: I usually wear a 4 or even a 6, but I knew it ran large so I got the 2 and it fit perfectly. My only complaint is that because it is a wrap dress it's a risky choice on a windy day so I had to hold it down when outside. It could have used one more snap closure to prevent that problem.

Prim and proper

This was a great graduation dress. My only complaints are that (1) it runs small, but I knew that Lilly dresses did so I ordered a size down and (2) the cut isn't as flattering on an hourglass figure as other styles. The cut on the bust makes the chest look bit bigger, but not in a good way, and obviously the skirt is not minimizing. A belt really helps with these styles, but I didn't have one that worked with the dress. Nevertheless, the 2 fit really well and it was the perfect prim and proper style for a graduation.

Too large, RTR forgot the belt

Knowing the dress runs large, I tried to rent the 2 but settled for a 4 because the 2 wasn't available. RTR sent it without a belt, which is critical for a sheath dress, especially one that runs large. When I called to let them know about the oversight, I got voice mail, so I left a message and all necessary info, but they never returned my call to apologize and rectify the situation. I bought a belt at H&M to go with the dress, but unfortunately the dress ran so large that it even looked a bit awkward with a belt to cinch the waist. The dress looked decent, and I was running late, so I just wore it anyway.

I loved this elephant clutch. It looks silver in the photo but it is actually very light gold. It is the perfect size and the elephant is such a fun and quirky touch.

Sexy dress :)

I wore this dress for my wedding after-party. I love that this dress comes in stretchy material that ensures a perfect fit. I usually wear a 4, but I have a particularly small waist so I wore the 2 to avoid any awkward bunching, which you can do in this dress because it stretches just enough at the bust and waist to allow flexible sizing. It was super comfortable, didn't ride up, and was a great dress to continue the wedding festivities at our beach house dance party late into the night!

beautiful dress!

This dress is lovely. It runs a tiny bit big, but you could only tell in the back where if it's too big the lace shoulders don't lay flat. My only complaint was that the size I ended up wearing came with a small tear in the lace in the front. Because of the style of lace, it wasn't noticeable until I pointed it out to my friends while we were getting ready, but it still irritated me. It was still a beautiful dress and I definitely recommend wearing it for a girls' night out or, like me, forget the white dress for your bachelorette and wear sexy black lace instead ;)
