Dance your way through the wedding
Great dress for a long night of wedding dancing. It's a simple dress that needs a little jazzing up with heels and accessories, but comfortable and great for the long haul.

They might work on someone else's ears.
But on my ears, they did not run along the ear like I expected them too. They stuck out. But my ears might be weird.

Definitely size down. I wear 8s and 10s, so I got the medium and large, but I probably would've fit into the small. Still looked nice. Easy, simple, lovely dress.

Rich colors, dance the night away
I rented this dress for my sister as a bridesmaid dress. (I bought the same dress in white, size 6, from BHLDN.) The colors of this one are really nice -- deep, warm, a nice quality material. In retrospect, it might not have been the most flattering cut on me. It looked better on my petite, narrower-framed sister. It created a little armpit fat pocket, and I found myself tugging it up all night like a tube top. (My sister, even though she fit just fine into the 0, preferred the 2 for a similar reason.) But no regrets. Loved that open back and how moveable the bottom half was. Loved not wearing a bra (#weddinggoals). Rent it!

Eye-catching fun
I'm more of an 8 in pants and assumed that would be my size for this dress, but there was more give than I thought and I wore the 6. Size down for your backup. The 4/5 stars is only because it's a tad scratchy and the collar is a little weird. Otherwise, love it, tons of compliments, fun colors, flattering. Rent this for your party.

So many compliments.
Be prepared to be stopped a lot by people complimenting and wanting know about the dress. Beautiful detail. No need for accessories. Even without sleeves, the fabric is warm. It was great for a night in the 40s. You'll want to size up if you have larger hips/thighs.

Beautiful, classy dress
Lovely orange/red color. I wore this to a work banquet, which it's great for. Interesting enough - with its asymmetry and color - to not blend in with all the boring outfits, but modest and professional. The top is a little confining; you can't raise your arms very high, so I wouldn't recommend for a dance-centric event, even though the bottom half moves nicely. It's also the sort of dress you don't want to slouch in. You can see a little bit of the bunching that happens on the left shoulder in my picture, leaning to that side. But I still gave it a 5 because it's exactly what I imagine sophisticated Italian women wearing as they Vespa to get an espresso.

A great jacket for those 50-60 degree days. I wore with a cocktail dress Friday night and a maxi dress Saturday day. Rich plum color, goes with more than you think it will. And pockets!

Sexy Dress
Tight and sexy. Great dress for a night out. No lining, but seemed fine with tights/hose. I did spend some part of the evening pulling it down, but I'm not sure if that was due to the dress riding up or just my own self-consciousness in it. I wore a strapless bra, but it's not necessary.

¡Olé!
Beautiful dress for a flamenco-inspired costume. Flattering, good fit, lovely material. Agree with others that it's long. I'm 5'7" and got the R. I had to be careful not to step on it, even with some low heels. Like with most dresses, my B-cups don't *quite* fill out the top of the 4, but oh well. It's low cut, so if you're not into showing side boob when you sit or slouch, get some tape. I say, long live side boob.

Gorgeous print, lux material
Definitely size up. I usually can get away with a 2 in dresses, but probably the ones that fit lower. This was a tight squeeze with little room to breath. But a lovely dress, great for a fancy wedding. Low cuts are nice for us flat chested women, easy to wear those black shoes you already have with. I went braless, no necklace either. Just small earrings and a black satin clutch. Let the dress do the talking.

So comfy! I loved this dress and hated returning it. Lined and with a thick material that's great for a winter date. Runs true to size, maybe a little large. I normally wear a 4, and got the 4 and 6, but I wished I'd sized down for my back-up, just to see how the 2 looked. Rent it!

Halston Jumpsuit Love
I rented this for a Studio 54 party and it was fabulous. Comfortable, confidence-building, elegant and sexy at the same time. I'm 5'7" and I went with the Long. There was a little bunching at the bottom but I think it looked great. I didn't find that I needed double-sided tape when I used the hook in the middle of the bosom but I have small boobs. I struggled to get that middle crisscross of the sash to look like in the picture but I think I got close eventually.

Light fun dress.
Lovely, flattering dress. Thin material. Some static issues. Can't wear with tights unless you got a skirt slip and some anti-static sheets. Best for summer, I'd guess. I wore with flats and a blazer for a family day gathering.

Unique print.
Pros: Can wear normal bra and tights, relatively flattering. Cons: It was tight around my thighs and I did end up pulling it down a lot throughout the evening, mostly when standing up. Because of the tight sleeves, someone will have to help you with getting your jacket on and off, so the dress made my boyfriend seem chivalrous. Maybe that's a pro.

Interesting, unique dress!
RtR offered me another dress when they didn't have the second size of the actual dress I rented. So I didn't wear this dress to the event but I tried it on. Definitely a cool dress - unique pattern.The material was atypical - coarse and mesh. And the shape was very loose. I belted it for the picture. Might've been Missoni-sacrilege but that's probably how I would've worn it out. Cool dress overall.

Fun, lovely dress!
Tragically the dress didn't arrive in time - USPS's fault, not RtR's and I was reimbursed. Naturally I tried it on once it did arrive. Very nice fit. I was worried it wouldn't fit around my legs so I sized up for my extra, but the 4 fit just great. Very comfortable, light weight, great color. I'll try renting again next time I have an outdoor summer wedding!

Always deliver to work if you can
This dress was stolen off my porch in Park Slope, NY so if you see the 2 or 4 in a consignment store in Booklyn...buy it back for RtR. They were super nice and even refunded me. Always have your package delivered to work if you're not home to get it. Sigh.

Great, comfortable dress - can't go wrong.
The dress is great for an athletic/apple body. I have a small bust but larger, athletic thighs, which it hides well. I waver between a 2 and 4 with dresses. Went with the 2 for this one - probably since it's only fitted at the top. Very comfortable, you can wear a regular bra; great for wedding dancing; a nice, thick lining (hose-friendly) so a good cold-weather dress, not sure I would wear it outside in the middle of summer. Overall a solid, comfortable dress. I'd rent again. Great RtR experience!
