Flirty photoshoot in Venice Beach
I rented several dresses as options for a photoshoot I was doing in Venice Beach, California, and my photographer really liked this one. It photographed beautifully with such a bright color and was very fun and feminine. I loved the fit and I would wear it again.

Compliments all night long and the back was the best part
I picked this dress as my bridesmaid dress for a friend's wedding, and it did not disappoint. As others have said, the neckline was a bit tight/itchy, but that didn't start to bother me until the end of the night. I am 5'5" and my 3" heels were the perfect height for this dress so that it didn't drag. The colors were amazing for fall, the back flowed beautifully and was so unique. I would definitely rent this again.

Stunning, but short, Vegas dress
This dress is absolutely gorgeous, but as other reviewers have said, it runs very short. I wear a 0 or XS in most dresses from RTR, but I felt more comfortable in the S of this dress. I wore this to see the Backstreet Boys in Vegas and I fit right in with all the other women in their sparkly dresses. It hugs the body tight, so there is no room to hide anything if you're hoping to do so.

Glamorous Vegas Party Dress
This dress was a little bit itchy under the armpits because of the sequins, but the material overall was comfortable and the dress was really gorgeous and sparkly. It hugs the body so there is no hiding anything to the extent that you're looking to do so. I would definitely rent again.

Favorite rental yet!
I rented this for my husband's work holiday party, and I am already planning to rent it again for an upcoming wedding. The only con about this dress is that the skirt needed to be ironed upon taking the dress out of the garment bag, but the ironing was well worth it for how gorgeous this dress looked. The full skirt was really cute (and floofy enough to hide any problem areas for those wondering) and the length was not too short. The color blocking was unique and fun. I wore a regular bra where I could make the straps crisscross so that they wouldn't be seen. Highly recommend for any party or formal event!

Ruching did not work for me
I ordered this as a backup dress for a charity gala, and I was glad the first dress worked out. The ruching in the stomach area is very thick and drapey. On a small person like myself, I felt like it drew unwanted attention to the stomach and looked very weird.

Beautiful rose gold color, but less than perfect execution
Pros: gorgeous dusty rose gold color and fabulous sequins; comfortable and not scratchy. Cons: no padding so you pretty much have to wear a sticky bra - I ordered a sticky bra that didn't arrive in time and ended up having to use a bra extender and safety pins because the back is lowwwwww; I wore a 0R and at 5'5", the front only skimmed the floor in flats and when I tugged down on it (like I did for the picture); after a three course meal I was really wishing I had worn some spanx because this dress is unforgiving in the tummy area. Verdict: A beautiful dress that will get you noticed, but make sure you have a sticky bra on hand and order the Long size if you want to wear heels (they were out of it when I needed it).

Beautiful color and very flattering fit
I almost always wear a 0 from RTR but the arms on this were TIGHT. I couldn't even get them over my biceps, so I was glad I had ordered the 2 for my backup size. The 2 fit perfectly. The dress was a gorgeous cranberry color in person, which was ideal for the holidays. I highly recommend this - one of my favorite rentals!

Bright color and pretty lace
As most people have probably figured out by now, this dress is more of a candy apple green than a mint green. RTR should really take new photos of the model to show this. Thankfully I have tan skin so this color looked good on me. The lace was beautiful and I liked the material a lot, but even the 0 was too big on me. I wore a belt with it to give me more of a waist since it was too wide around the middle. With a better fit, I would have liked it more, but the dress was hidden under my law school graduation cap and gown most of the day so it was fine.

Outstanding color
I have actually worn the long version of this dress before, so I figured I couldn't go wrong with the short version. I rented this for an NYE party at a roller rink, and had a blast skating around in it. Received lots of compliments on it as well. I wore the size 2 but probably could have sized down to a 0 (it was unavailable). As other reviewers have mentioned, the zipper is very tricky because of the ruching, so you may need to enlist some help.

Stunning statement piece!
This necklace was gorgeous. One little note you can't tell from the picture - the large gems are actually clear, not opaque. So they looked like they were tinted a purple color because I was wearing a purple dress underneath. Very pleased with this necklace, though. I have rented the matching earrings before for a different occasion as well.

Pretty color
I rented this dress to wear to an anniversary dinner with my boyfriend. I wore the 0 and I had plenty of room, so if you're any smaller than me you are probably out of luck with this dress. I rented a necklace to go with it and then I also wore a silver belt to give me a waist (the dress is a shift style so it is straight up and down). I was most surprised by how comfortable the dress is - the lace was not itchy at all!

Beautiful Color, Terrible Fit
I rented this dress in a 0R and a 2R for my law school prom, and unfortunately neither size fit. In RTR dresses I typically wear a 2, and sometimes a 0, but the 0 was huge. The bust was so big there was no way it was going to stay up and the dress was about four inches too long, even with 2.5 inch heels on. After a few gown-type rentals, I have learned that the long dresses on RTR are a stretch if you're 5'5" like me and I plan to stick with only short dresses in the future. The color was gorgeous though, so if you have a large chest and are pretty tall, this is the dress for you.

Unfortunately I did not get to wear this out because the dresses I ordered didn't fit, but the necklace is stunning. You can't tell in the photo, but the turquoise pieces are surrounded by sparkly gems that catch the eye. Wish I could have kept the necklace.

Compliments from strangers all night!
I wore this dress out for a birthday date with my boyfriend and paired it with nude tights (it's cold in Chicago!) and nude shoes. We went to a nice steakhouse and a nice cocktail bar. The Good: Beautiful color (rich blueish purple). The flouncy skirt is very fun. The shape makes your waist look tiny and hides your stomach so you can eat as much as you want. Strangers all over Chicago complimented me on the dress, even when my winter coat was covering half of it. The Bad: The tulle skirt is pretty hard to arrange when you're sitting down. This dress would be better for a night where you won't be doing much sitting. Also, the dress runs a bit big. I ordered a 2 and a 0 and I would have been swimming in the 2. I'd recommend ordering a size down for your backup.

Perfect Anniversary Dinner Outfit!
I wore this dress out to a nice dinner with my boyfriend in celebration of our three year anniversary. The bling on the dress was beautiful and not too flashy. I paired the dress with nude tights (it was chilly) and black heels that had a silver bow embellishment. I also wore the Badgley Mischka Crystal Cluster earrings and they complemented the outfit perfectly. The zero fit me great, though it was definitely a little tighter around the butt and thighs. If you're an hour glass lady wearing this to something like a wedding, you might want to size up just to be safe. Another awesome RTR experience.

These earrings were bigger than I was expecting, but that did not make them gaudy or over-the-top. They looked fantastic with the Badgley Mischka Orion Sequin Orbit Sheath.

High quality fabric and beautiful color were the best details of this dress.
This dress was very cute for a summer wedding. After reading other reviews I sized down to a zero and that fit perfectly on my frame. The front pleating covers any problem areas (which is good because I ate a ridiculous amount of buffet food). The only thing I wished was for the dress to have more flare at the bottom - it hung a little too straight for my liking. I would guess this style wouldn't look as good on anyone much hippier than me. Also, despite ironing the dress to get out wrinkles, the neckline came messed up and could not be steamed down. The bow was also a little bit askew, but it wasn't a big deal.

Compliment after compliment, all night long.
I wore this gown for my law school's Barrister's Ball. I had read all the reviews to figure out the size I needed, and the 2R was the perfect length on 5'5" me paired with a 2" sparkly gold heel. Zipping my 34Cs into it was a tad bit tricky, but there is a clasp at the top to help, and once I got it zipped it was snug, but not uncomfortable. PROS: 1) The color is positively stunning. 2) The material of the skirt flows beautifully when you walk. 3) The cut is perfect to hide any problem spots. 4) You will get compliments from everyone you know. CONS: 1) The slit hit under my knee (unless you're really tall, the model picture is really inaccurate on the slit) and you couldn't really see it if I was just standing. 2)The skirt has A LOT of material so it was tough to gather it all and walk with it. I almost tripped up and down the stairs multiple times and the bathroom was a challenge.

This dress was comfy, flattering, and got me a lot of compliments!
I ordered this dress for my parents' 25th anniversary vow renewal and reception. I got a 0 and a 2 and ended up wearing the 0. It fit very well and I still had plenty of room in the skirt (which is good because I had a big dinner). I wouldn't recommend this dress for someone with too much smaller measurements than me because they would probably be swimming in it, but it worked for me. I got compliments all night long from my parents' friends. I wore nude heels to the ceremony and about halfway through the reception I switched to red flats, so the dress is very versatile. My only complaint is that the material wrinkles/creases easily. Overall, though, another great RTR experience.

Cute dress, but couldn't wear it
I ordered this dress for a birthday dinner and night out with my boyfriend. I pretty typically wear a 2 from RTR and sometimes a 4, so those are the sizes I ordered. There were no reviews on this item so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best, but unfortunately, both were way too big and the length came to only an inch or so above my knee. From the pictures I was expecting something very different. The color is much darker in person than in the picture, so that is something to take into account. Also, it looks very airy and light on the model, but it's a lot heavier in person. I didn't end up wearing it out. Maybe the 0 would have been different.

Beautiful color for a summer wedding!
I was very excited to rent this dress, but it was not my favorite RTR rental experience. The XS was so short I couldn't have worn it out without flashing anyone, but the S was baggy in the waist area and the half with no shoulder went down low enough to show my bra. Such a big disparity between sizes! I wore a belt to bring in the waist and actually had to carefully pin back the top to keep my bra from showing. That said, I got a ton of compliments at the wedding and I loved the color of the dress. The fit was just not as dead on as some of my past rentals.

So many people told me that I looked lovely and I felt incredible!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress out to my boyfriend's law school "prom". I regret that I only got pictures on a camera phone, but the fit was incredible and the material had a great weight that felt very expensive. This dress made my waist look itty bitty and gave me fantastic cleavage (didn't even need to wear a bra because the structure was great). I normally wear a 2 or 4 in dresses, and the 2 fit like a glove so that's what I went with. I paired this dress with bright red heels and accessories, which worked great. I would absolutely rent this one again and for my first time renting, I thought the service was amazing. I only have good things to say about RTR so far!

In the ladies room at the party venue a stranger came up to me and told me she absolutely loved my look.
The color and fit of this dress were absolutely amazing, though I will say it ran big. I normally wear a 2 or 4 in dresses and I ended up wearing the 0 (it just so happened RTR was out of the 4 on the day I needed to rent so I had the 0 as a back up size - thank goodness!). I wore this for a 60s theme/Mad Men-esque party and it was so fun to dance in. My only complaint is that the material of the dress wrinkles very easily. It actually came very wrinkled so I tried to wet iron it. DO NOT DO THIS. The dress got all splotchy and I had to have it dry cleaned. RTR offered to cover my dry cleaning expenses though - another example of their sparkling customer service. Overall, another great RTR experience in a dress that made me feel gorgeous.
