Gorgeous color, comfortable fit, effortless class.
This dress style is not what I typically go for, but was a huge hit! The top half is stretchy and very comfortable, the bottom half is very forgiving and hides what you may not want shown. Now, although the top and bottom are flexible, the middle area is true to size. The pockets are great for holding you phone and lipstick when you need to get on the dance floor. I'm 5'3 so the hem fell below my knees, but was perfect for the very conservative family members that were in attendance.

No Razzle or Dazzle
This was a no frills clutch. My dress and jewelry had a lot of detail. And since I was taking the clutch to a wedding, I knew I would not be holding it much. A very plain bag with a pretty tiny pocket. You can fit your phone and lip make-up, but I couldn't fit a wallet. I had to remove my license, CC, and cash and let them fly around unprotected :(

These babies are HUGE
The earrings were much larger than expected. I even looked at the picture of them on the model. Maybe my head was too small, but I didn't feel comfortable trying to pull them off. They were way too big for my taste.

Classy, Chic, and Comfortable!
I rented this dress for a southern evening wedding so I wanted something feminine, classy, but still fun. The nha khanh- On Cloud Nine dress was absolutely perfect. The color was very unique. I would say it was in between an aqua color and a light blue. The petty coat and lace gave it such a sweet feminine feel and whatever the stretchy material was felt great. For the ladies that don't want to draw attention to their hips and thighs- THIS IS YOUR DRESS. The dress was very movable and comfortable. I could eat, dance, and prance without any restrictions. I was worried that the skirt would make me look even shorter than I am, but it cut in just the right area. I added a skinny metallic belt to help break up the dress. I wish I hadn't posted so many pictures and gotten so many compliments (from both young and old- men and women) because I would absolutely rent this dress again. Another home-run with RTR. This sight is truly a God-send.

Simple Elegance
I wore this to a work event in which I was running around like a maniac. It was simple, elegant, and moved with my body. Very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Whimsical Elegance for All Shapes and Sizes
Wore this to a country club wedding and received compliments from everyone, old and young. My only gripe would be with the top. I'm a D cup and wore a VERY padded strapless bra, but the top was still too big (gaping arm holes). Because the black band rides above the puffy tummy area you can size down and still be comfortable. Overall this is an absolutely beautiful dress perfect for all shapes and sizes.

Gorg!
Absolutely gorgeous bangles. They aren't as golden as the RTR pic, but they are still beautiful. Only downfall- the shimmer/ glitter may come off on you and your date. Oopsy!

I felt like the Belle of the ball... next to the bride of course.
On the hanger the dress is so-so but on an actual body it’s amazing. I received sooo many compliments and felt great in it. It’s true to size in the waist but the material and cut are forgiving to those with thick hips and thighs. I had plenty of room to EAT and dance (which I was so thankful for). Thank you for ANOTHER homerun RTR!

Never Enough Ruffle Dress

I felt like a million bucks in this dress. A two star Admiral's wife AND her 19 year old niece could not stop gushing over my dress. I couldn't even make it to the bathroom with out receiving compliments or thumbs-up from the women passing me by.
By far my favorite RTR rental. I wore this dress to my Godfather’s promotion ceremony and received a ridiculous amounts of compliments from the young and the old. The dress’ structure and bold colors make for a very sophisticated crisp look, while the somewhat stretchy material leaves you plenty of room to breathe. I do suggest ordering your usual size but add a pair of Spanx to accentuate and smooth out the dress. If I hadn’t received so many compliments on my FB pic I would definitely order this dress again!

Summer Sorbet Delight Dress

Hearing my big brother tell me how beautiful and elegant I looked.
I wore this to a formal military event which my parent’s and my dad’s superiors attended. The fit was OK. I rented a size 10 with fear that it may be a little tight in chest area (I’m a 36D) but I actually had the opposite problem. There was too much room in the chest! If I had owned this dress I would’ve had the strap taken in to eliminate the extra space up top, or next time I’d wear a large broach to tighten up the strap. But since time was of the essence I bought a SUPER padded strapless bra. I’m still extremely happy with my rental. I received complements from EVERYONE- male and female, and felt like a princess the entire night.

Not That Great
Not the best backless bra I've ever used. The adhesive didn't stick very well and the cups didn't feel like they were holding much in.
For Beautiful Backs Only
I rented this dress for a formal event that I was attending with my parents. The dress runs a little large so I suggest ordering a size smaller for your back-up. The belt helps in sinching the waist and the plunging neckline is very tasteful – it completely covered my D cups. A very elegant dress indeed, but I didn’t realize how unflattering the dress would make my back look. My back fat and birth mark made me really self conscious and I ended up wearing my back-up RTR rental.

Great for My Big Butt
Overall this jumper was super cute for my co-ed bar hopping night out Downtown. I got a lot of complements from both guys and girls. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of room I had in the butt area (I’ve got a donkey booty). The jumper actually made me look smaller. The top was a little difficult to work with. The front is has a serious plunge. I’d suggest the usage of safety pins to get the neckline to your liking.

Sooo Disappointed
I originally ordered this dress for my best friend’s very chic / very photog-friendly event, and was REALLY excited to wear it but I ended up grabbing something from my own closet. This dress was not AT ALL what I expected. Maybe I was thrown off by the distant picture provided by the site but this dress is actually a two-toned/ dual-material- part black, part dark purple. The back was super sexy- hugged my curves, but the front looked very frumpy although it has an A-symmetrical sleeve. As the other reviews mentioned, the dress does run large, so order your size AND the size under (I only tried on the smaller size). This was my first big miss with RTR. Oh well.

Very Pretty- Tight in the Bust
This is a beautiful dress but for those with large bust (C and up) order a size up. The stylist told me this dress was true to size, and suggested I order a 10 to make room for my ‘ladies’ but the 10’s were sold out, so I took my chances and went with the 8. I was able to tuck the gals in- but the amount of cleavage I had was way too much for the family wedding I would be attending with my boyfriend and his parents. I will absolutely order this dress for my next beach vacation, but in the correct size.

Perfect for an Outdoor Wedding
I absolutely LOVED this dress. Wore it to a destination wedding on the beach and I received an enormous amount of compliments. The color was phenomenal, the fit was great. It is very easy to dress up or dress down. I’m petite with an hourglass figure. The dress cut off at just the right length; I felt comfortable enough to wear my flat dressy sandals. Initially my biggest worry was my bust area. I'm a D cup, but I felt very secure. I think I adjusted myself one time throughout the enitre night (after dancing to 5 Beyonce songs back to back). I wish I could rent this dress again, but I took too many pictures in it .
