A Simple Favorite with One Flaw
I’ve rented this dress several times, and every time I wear it, I’m reminded why I keep coming back. It’s simple, cute, and effortlessly elegant—the kind of dress that works for everything from a garden dinner to a casual summer evening out. The only reason I haven’t added it permanently to my closet? The top tends to slide down, which can be a bit of a nuisance. It’s not a deal-breaker, but definitely something to be aware of.

Sparkly, Sexy & Perfect for a Party
This dress was cute, sexy, and had a real "let’s celebrate!" vibe. It would be a great pick for a wedding party, bachelorette night, or girls' night out. The fit was comfortable and flattering, hugging in all the right places without being too tight. That said, it wasn’t really my personal style—just not quite my cup of tea. But if you're going for fun, flirty, and ready to dance the night away, I’d still recommend it!

Bold, Beautiful, but a Bit of a Battle
This dress was striking—the bold color and sleek, modern cut made it a total standout. I felt confident and glam all night, and it was also super comfortable, which is always a win when you're dressing up. The only downside? The low-cut neckline around the bust kept slipping down, which required constant adjusting and took away from the ease of wearing it. A little fashion tape might help next time!

Stunningly Elegant (Once You Crack the Strap Code!) 👗
I absolutely loved this dress! The bold red color was striking and the silhouette—so flattering. It felt both beautiful and elegant, making it a perfect choice for formal night. Plus, it was incredibly comfortable, even with the dramatic slit and fitted design. I received so many compliments! One caveat: getting the straps right was a bit of a puzzle. It took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to situate them properly—definitely not a throw-it-on-and-go dress. But once it was on, it was so worth it.

Flirty & Fun with a Warning Label
This dress was an absolute hit! Flirty, fun, and perfect for a night out, it made me feel sexy and chic. The velvet-textured fabric and sweetheart neckline gave it a luxe touch, while the short hemline added a playful edge. Heads-up, though: it runs very short — so I highly recommend wearing a pair of fitted shorts underneath for peace of mind 😉

Surprisingly Perfect Summer Find!
I ordered both the medium and small sizes of this romper, and to my surprise, the small fit better and ended up being the one I kept. It turned out to be the perfect summer outfit—fun, flattering, and super comfortable. The rubber liner at the top kept it securely in place all day, which was a pleasant surprise for a strapless style. The material felt light and breathable, ideal for hot weather, and the orange-and-white zebra print added a bold, playful vibe. I loved the added tie belt for shape and appreciated the pockets. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did, but it ended up being a definite win.

I had so much fun wearing this dress! The fit was absolutely perfect—snug in all the right places without being too tight. I felt super cute and sexy all night. The lace detail added a touch of elegance, while the playful hem kept it fun and flirty. I got tons of compliments and felt confident the entire evening. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something stylish, comfortable, and perfect for a night out!

Sexy but snug
This piece is absolutely adorable and looked fantastic on! The design is flattering and stylish, but the fit felt a bit snug, and the material didn’t have much stretch. If you’re in between sizes, I’d recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

Wore this for a dinner out at a tradeshow. Comfortable and cute. The only thing I did not like is that it was a little low cut and the top kept opening up.

I typically wear a size 6, but it was way too tight so I sized up to an eight. The eight still felt a little bit snug in my midsection, but after a while, I got used to it. Very cute and flattering.

Fun Florida Fall Shirt
My husband really liked this shirt. It was cute and comfortable. The top did had electric to help hold it up, but I still found it sliding down throughout the day. I think sizing down would have been too small so just had to deal with it.

Let’s go Barbie
I recently wore the "Barbie" pink dress for a date night, and I have to say, it's a fantastic choice! This dress is not only cute but also delightfully unique. The fit was spot on, and it was incredibly flattering. I particularly adored the unusual strap details and the stylish v-cut back, which added a touch of elegance. One thing to note is that the dress does have quite a few holes, which are see-through, so wearing nude underwear is a must to maintain a classy look. Despite this, I would definitely rent this dress again. It's a standout piece that's sure to leave a lasting impression.

Pop of color
I wore this neon yellow crop top for a date night recently, and I have mixed feelings about it. Initially, I found the cut to be a bit unusual, and the turtleneck piece felt a bit tight for my liking. However, as the evening went on, I started to appreciate the top more. It turned out to be quite flattering, and I received several compliments throughout the night.

Worth The Rent
RTR usually does a good job suggesting appropriate sizes. This was not the case with this rental. Most reviews said the top runs large and I didn't pay attention to the size which RTR suggested which was a M. The top was HUGE. Despite this, it was cuter in persona than I suspected just wish it fit properly. I probably could have made due with an XS. Worth the rent, but make sure and double check the size and size down.

I'm obsessed with this jacket. The color is brilliant and bright. It was super comfortable and not too heavy. Prefect for a Florida winter. The size does run a little small. I got a medium based off the reviews and it fit like a glove.

Not the most flattering cut
The suggested size for me was an 8. I felt it was probably a little big and would have done better with a 6. The cut wasn't as flattering as I thought it would be. Overall it was just ok.
