Unless you have a strapless bra you know works, skip this
Top has no support, needs a strapless bra, I had sticky things that were horrible, had to skip the dress.

Mini skirt- fun sleeves - well made
True to size, though I'm 5'7'' and it was very short. I wore Undersummers (shorts) so I wasn't self conscious, but sitting was interesting. I'd definitely rent again for a cocktail reception or an event with less sitting. A wedding with a seated dinner was slightly awkward.

Comfortable Glamour for a beach wedding
Wore the smaller size and it had some extra room to spare. Opted for a strapless bra to avoid the straps I saw in some photos. Zipper can be tricky. Definitely more "puffy" than I thought it would be (has a pedi coat underneath with fluff) but super fun. Tons of compliments.

Very comfortable and classy
RTR delivers again! My party was cancelled due to record snowstorm so I didn't get to wear the dress for my original rental, customer service was great and made sure I got the dress for the rescheduled event. The dress was very classy and you can wear normal undergarments with it- bonus! I used fashion tape to make sure the cleavage was appropriate True to size and comfortable. #workparty #cocktailparty

Very comfortable. Wore to a wedding.
I couldn't wear a regular bra with it so bought a strapless/convertible the day before the wedding. I was accidentally shipped the wrong size, but RTR was great and overnights me the correct size.

Amazingly comfortable and flattering
I normally wear an 18, but needed help zipping it and my friends were afraid to rip it, so I wore the 20 and it fit so comfortably. I wore a black bra and the straps blended with the black lace just fine. As everyone has commented the lining is cream not bright white, but I knew that from prior reviews. Got tons of compliments and wish I could buy it, looking forward to renting again!

I didn't end up going to the party, so I didn't wear the dress
Dress was heavier than I expected.

Best dress ever!
Dress was amazingly comfortable. Random strangers approached me to tell me how much they loved my dress! I was able to do the zipper myself, wore it with black leggings. I felt confident and beautiful all night! Can't wait for an occasion to wear / rent this one again!

Statement Earings
Beautiful earnings. Definitely as expected. Some reviewers commented they were heavy, this didn't bother me but my event was only 4 hours, I could see that for a wedding you might want to pull them off by the end of the night.

Shiny & Tight
Bracelet was beautiful. Unfortunately it kept getting caught on my dress, I wanted to take it off but I was paranoid I'd lose it. It is definitely tighter than I expected, but I have a big wrist and probably didn't read the description fully.

LOVE this dress!
Fit was true to size and super comfy. I wore it to my work "winter" party and got TONS of compliments on this dress. The sparkles did catch on EVERYTHING, my clutch, the sleeve, etc. but I got used to it and was just super careful about what I touched. This dress is very well made and you'll feel like a million bucks wearing it!

Didn't wear it
This dress came as a back up to my back up size since my original dress was returned in un-rentable condition. I was super excited to see this dress in my order and was very impressed w/ RTR's customer services and that they sent me a new backup with me having to ask. That said, this dress is one size larger than what I normally wear and I could hardly get into it. The sleeves are VERY tight and the "side wires" (think bra underwire in the side of the dress) were popping through the material. The dress itself is form fitting which is not what I had in mind for this party.
