Perfect dress for a summer work event
Gorgeous dress! The material was perfect for a summer, outdoor event in south Texas! I received tons of compliments and felt great. The large fit perfectly and accentuated my curves without feeling too risqué.

Great clutch!
Used for a NYE house party. Has plenty of room for keys, phone, lipstick, and even a spare phone charger! Plenty of pockets for cash and cards too

Slightly snug, not ideal for curves
Rented for a New Years Eve house party. The dress itself is stunning, and I did get conpliments, but definitely size up if you have any kind of curves! The material is super shiny but has ZERO give.

Perfect for a professional event!
I recently moderated a panel for a work event and wanted something special yet professional! This dress totally fit the bill! I needed a tank underneath to keep it modest but I loved the look.

I felt so glamorous at a New Year's Eve party!
Loved this dress and got tons of compliments on it. The sequins were a great touch without being super over the top! The back is a nice feature and always surprised people when I turned around. I ended up wearing a convertible bra with lower back straps because I needed the extra support.

Felt so glamorous at a New Years Eve white party
This dress is stunning!!! The sequins shone under the lights all night, and I was getting compliments from complete strangers. The 14 fit - albeit a little snug - so I went with the bigger size in order to feel more comfortable dancing and moving around. I did feel the need to keep hiking up the back to prevent my strapless bra from showing, but that was definitely due to the 16 being a little big. The draping in the back was a great touch, as well. I wish I could give this dress a 6th star!!

Wore it for a girl's night out and felt fabulous!
I felt this fit true to size, I would have been VERY uncomfortable in a size down. The dropped waist actually made me feel a little smaller around the middle. I paired it with black pumps and a jean jacket to make it more "fall-like", but the color still worked for a mid-November girl's night out. I'm only 5'4", so the cropped pants hit almost to my ankles, but the heels helped that a little bit.

Perfect for my birthday on the beach!!
I wore this to the beach for Memorial Day weekend / birthday celebration and got amazing compliments. It was fun and flirty without being overly formal. Definitely paired well with sandals and some blingy jewelry. I am bigger chested and it wasn't too plunging either. 10/10 would recommend again.

Fun alternative to a dress for a Sunday brunch baby shower
This was my first experience with a jumpsuit and I have to say, I'm a convert! Perhaps it was the way the top flowed and masked some of my imperfections around the midsection, or the awesome neckline, but this jumpsuit made me feel great. It was nearly impossible for me to wear a bra, however. Since it was February, I got away with wearing a sweater, but busty girls take note. Yet another RTR success!!

Gorgeous silhouette! Sparkly and stand-out alternative to a little black dress!
Unfortunately the dress I had ordered for this event came damaged and I couldn't wear it. RTR stylists sent me this just in time for my family party. I could not get over the number of compliments I got wearing it! Disclaimer - I was attending a function out of state and didn't have a strapless bra to wear; however, the black straps didn't look out of place beneath the top of the dress if you're having a bra emergency. I would definitely rent a similar style again!

Gorgeous dress,, wish I could have made it work!
Unfortunately the backup size I ordered ran a little too small in the chest for me to be comfortable with, and the zipper on the size 16 had started breaking and wouldn't zip all the way up. The dress is drop dead gorgeous in real life, and Caroline was amazing in helping me get an alternate for my event. I will definitely try to re-rent another time!!

Stunning neckline!!
I wore this dress for my company holiday party, and people couldn't stop complimenting me. The material is a little thicker so it was perfect for a winter event. My one note is that I have a bigger chest and the dress was VERY snug up top. If you'd prefer a looser fit, definitely size up.

Fit like a glove, and looks spectacular!
Absolutely gorgeous dress! I received rave reviews all night, and felt like a million bucks. The size I chose fit like the dress was made for me, and I never felt uncomfortable. If you like your dresses to fit a little looser, I would suggest sizing up again. This was my first RTR experience, and I can't wait to rent again!
