Gorgeous showstopper
This dress was incredibly glamorous - I rented it for a wedding with a "hollywood glamour meets winter wonderland" theme, and this gown did not disappoint!! The dress has spacious pockets, and goes perfectly with gunmetal and crystal jewels. The dress would have been way too short on my 5'10" frame if I had ordered the 10R, so tall ladies should get the L option.

Classic piece, fun and casual
I adored this sweater poncho! I am normally a large on the top, but the medium worked very well. I suggest wearing it with tight pants because it may run boxy and make you look a little larger. Will 100% rent again next Winter!

Glittery
This dress is much shinier than it looks in the photos - it actually shed a bunch of metallic glitter all over my work area that I'm brushing off the day after I wore the dress! The cut is incredibly flattering, but ladies in more conservative workplaces should wear a sweater or blazer because there is an open upper back. More of a Christmas party type dress than an everyday work staple, but fun nonetheless!

Fun breezy day dress!
(Picture is of me sitting down on the DC metro, so it doesn't do it justice!) The dress is extremely flattering and falls about mid-thigh. I wore it for a friend's bachelorette party at an outdoor concert, and it was light-weight and kept me cool on a hot summer day at Wolf Trap in VA. I would ABSOLUTELY wear this dress again! Loved it so much.

Colorful and fun!
Great dress, tight in a very flattering way. Sent as a replacement for an unflattering first dress from RTR, and it was a hit.

Lovely necklace - 5 stars!
I loved this necklace so much that I didn't want to return it! It is an antiqued gold, not heavy but very intricate. I didn't get a headache when wearing it, which is sometimes a problem with other statement necklaces! I got many compliments on it and my outfit (I wore gold shoes to match!) all night at my formal banquet.

So sparkly and fun!
Loved this dress, though both the 10 and 12 were tight around the ribcage. Got so many compliments from other guests at the wedding.

Fun and flirty
The size 10 that I originally ordered could not zip up in the back (watch out and size up, ladies with big ribcages!), but luckily the size 12 fit very well. The top was slightly tight on the bust, but the skirt was flowy and fun. The pockets were a nice addition, as was the cute cut-out at the top of the back. All in all, my first RtR experience was a very good one, and I generally really liked the dress. It wasn't an all-out perfect dress, but it did the job and looked cute for a summer wedding!
