Show stopper!
Rented for a formal dinner and I had people staring at me (in a good way) all evening! Strangers in the hotel, wait staff at our event, bartenders of both genders, and strangers off of the dance floor were complimenting me all evening! This is a very flattering dress! It's light material and has a lot of movement! It is a waist cincher though so if you don't have a very defined waist, go up a size. The back is open lace and, after 3 kids, there was no way I could go without a bra. The best backless bra I've found is from Aerie (American Eagle) and I've tried many. I was comfortable, ate, drank and danced all night!

Flattering but scratchy
This was my backup dress and I ended up wearing my first choice. This dress does have some stretch to it and fits nicely, but the sequins and detail make it a bit scratchy under the arms. Not a deal breaker but I could see it getting uncomfortable after awhile.

My most favorite RTR dress!
Sheath dress. Fitted all over but has some stretch. Color looks much better in person. Strapless bra and black shoes worked great! Perfect simple, little dress! I love that I can try different colors and styles without fully committing hundreds of dollars into a dress that I may or may not wear again. So many great alternatives to a basic, black cocktail dress and this is definitely one of them! I love all of the compliments I received!

Comfortable and different.
I love how these scuba dresses hold you in. Dry comfortable with just the right amount of give in the material. They don't ride up or shift and there are no issues while sitting or dancing. Cute and a little different from something I would normally choose which makes it fun!

Cute party outfit with very little effort! Just add heels!
Cute romper with the perfect amount of detail. Easy to get into and out of unlike some others I've worn. No special undergarments necessary. No need to add too much to this outfit! I wore a simple bracelet and black leather wedges. Lots of compliments from complete strangers!

Love Clover Canyon dresses! The fit is snug yet comfortable and the colors are fabulous!
Fits true to size. Snug yet super comfortable. I always love the vibrant colors in Clover Canyon dresses and it's always a plus when you can wear a regular bra! Tons of compliments! Would definitely rent this dress and designer again!

The fit was great even though I'm shorter.
This dress is not something I would normally choose. It was my backup dress and I was trying something a little out of my comfort zone. I honestly contemplated changing my choice several times. I'm glad I didn't! My original choice didn't workout and this dress was perfect for the occasion! I was nervous that it would be too long and that I would look too matronly. Not so much! Loved the color and the cut! My shoe choice...meh. But I had to get on a plane for a destination wedding with this dress the day after receiving it in the mail so it was what it was. Simple black strap heels would've been perfect! I wore a strapless bra with this. Make sure your undergarments fit well because this dress has zero give which means no adjusting that strapless bra all night.

Larger but not too much.
Very pretty, large stud earrings. My dress had a lot going on so I didn't want to add too many accessories. I like that they were smaller yet still visible.

Super cute and comfy! Has pockets!
Wore to a bridal shower. The material around the neck was mildly worn but the dress was cute, comfy, could wear a regular bra and was perfect for the occasion. Wore teal jewelry and nude pumps with it!

Fit like a glove!
I absolutely loved how this dress fit me! Holds everything in, is true to size, can wear a regular bra, super comfy, sexy, is different but not crazy. This was actually my back up dress so I didn't get a chance to wear it out since my first choice was perfect! However, this dress is on my short list and I am looking for a place to wear it! Will definitely see this dress again!

Love. It. Was sad to send it back!
Loved the color, loved the fit. The only "issue" if there is one is that it should probably be worn with a strapless bra but a regular bra makes the silhouette look much better. I wore a criss cross strap bra and a little fashion tape. Wonderful solution! Tons of compliments and I definitely stood out in a good way! WILL rent this dress again! Wore with nude pumps.

Worth it!
If you are going to rent more than twice, it's silly not to sign up for RTR Pro. It pays for itself!

My new benchmark! Different yet super cute!
Worn to a fine dining restaurant. Fit was true to size. Loved the colors! Loved the fit! This is my 3rd rental and my favorite so far. My husband agrees. This material is different so I was really unsure if I would like it. It's a THIN neoprene (like a wet suit) but please don't let that deter you. Holds you in but not too tight, doesn't ride up and hugs in all the right places. Really bummed that I didn't remember to get a picture. I would definitely rent this dress/designer again!

Comfortable, put-on-and-go dress
I liked the dress but it wasn't my favorite. I have a pretty athletic build with not much of a waistline. If I was curvier, it might have fit a little better. This dress doesn't hide anything so expect to wear Spanx if that would be an issue for you. I wore a black, cropped Moto jacket over it and rented the necklace as well to give it a little bit of an edge. Very comfortable dress. Love the color.

Gives any outfit a bit of an edge.
Looks just like you would expect it to look. It actually lays flat unlike most larger/bib necklaces. Minor issue, the little spikes wouldn't lay right but I don't think it took away from the necklace.

Better than expected. Great material, perfect stretch, bold color. Can be worn to almost anything.
This was actually my second option. I originally wanted a different dress but waited too long to order so my size was out. It was a blessing in disguise. I am 5'4" so although the dress looks short in the picture, it was a perfect length for me. The material is textured which I didn't realize and is also thicker than I anticipated which both made for a very pleasant surprise. I did have to pull it down a few times as I walked as it would start to ride up but other than that, this dress was perfect! I love how it fit my body. You can wear this dress to almost anything. Lots of compliments from strangers and friends alike.
