Perfect
We made last minute plans for NYE, with only 2 days notice. Was super nervous, knowing there wouldn’t be a ton of choices available that could also ship in time. Found this one and ordered on Sunday, delivery projected Tuesday (NYE) between 2:45pm & 6:45pm. Needing to leave for the event at 5:00, and not having the dress yet, I threw on something else, and was literally pulling out of my driveway when the UPS truck pulled up behind me. Ran back inside, some Spanx and heels, and I was back in the car 8 minutes later. Got multiple compliments on this dress all night. RTR saved the day, as usual. The dress (size 10R) fit perfectly. It has some stretch, making it easy to move around in. The length was perfect. I’m 5’4 and with 3.5 inch heels, it hit the floor exactly right. The sequins scratched my underarm a bit on the sleeveless side, but I expected that because…sequins. Felt confident and beautiful, and would wear this again, for sure.

There aren’t heels high enough to keep me from tripping on it. Did not wear.

Not for me
I wasn’t able to wear this one. This style looked ridiculous on me. I looked like I was headed to a Little House on the Prairie set.

Off the Shoulder Midi Dress

Super comfortable
Wore this to host our business Christmas party (even found the Zara boots featured in the description). Got tons of compliments. The medium fit better, but, as others noted, it’s not as “off shoulder” as advertised, so I ended up wearing the large to better achieve that look. Being a knit, it did stretch and get bigger throughout the evening, but it was still comfortable, and I’d rent again.

Super cute and comfortable
Was perfect for hosting a tea room baby shower. Super comfortable. A little low cut, but boob tape did the trick to avoid anything showing. Love the hi-lo hemline. Would definitely rent again.

Show Stopper
This dress is amazing, I felt like a princess. A few issues with size availability, but RTR came through and I couldn't be happier. The 12 Long was the only size available, and at only 5'4, I was sure it would be way too long. But with 4" heels, it was perfect. I'm still getting compliments. Been renting from RTR for several years, but this one (combined with exceptional customer service) was by far my favorite.

Pictures don't do it justice!!
As other reviewers have mentioned, the top of this dress is awkwardly large. I Opted for the smaller of the two sizes I ordered (which was quite snug in the waist) and still found myself pulling it up throughout the evening. That said, this dress is absolutely gorgeous and I would definitely rent it again. The full skirt is very forgiving. No need for spanx or even a bra. Speaking of bras, if you do need a bra with this dress opt for one with a low back or a NU bra as a standard strapless will show in the back. Lastly.....POCKETS!!! And they're roomy enough to hold phone, lipgloss, room key, and more.

Jacquard Bold Dress

Beautiful fabric and color
I'm typically a 6, but went with a 10 in this dress and the bust was still snug. I love the color and the hi-low hem. It wasn't my first pick but I'm very happy with it. I got many compliments and it was definitely different. Overall I would wear this again.
