Fun dress for a Work Gala
I wore this dress for a work gala. It was a great cocktail dress with just the right amount of sparkle. I'm just over 5'3 and the dress was just above my knees and with black tights it was still very modest for work.

Just Perfect!
The dress was perfect. I wore it to a New Year's Eve wedding. I wanted something fun but still wedding appropriate. As others have mentioned the dress does show your bra a bit near the armpits. I wore a black bra and felt like it sort of blended in. Also I'm just over 5'3 and the dress was the perfect length with heels. I would def rent this dress again.

Super flattering for Curvy girls
I rented this at the last minute for the AHA heart ball. I just wanted something pretty and flattering on my curves. This did the trick! I fit in all the right places. It seemed like it was a tad short but other then that I loved it. Only funny side was that my friends date was wearing the same dress in navy blue.

Cute Dress
I liked the dress but I didn't love it. However, it was perfect for the occasion, work to dinner type of evening.

Beautiful Detail - Feminine, Flirty & Fun
I wore this dress to a friends wedding. I had rented a different dress by the same designer so I sort of knew what I was in for. I loved it. The scalloped neck was was just so beautiful, and the lace was made it so girly, while the tulle underskirt added to fun. I loved the fit and flare fit. It really was perfect for the occasion. I was kind of stressing out about the tulle at first but then I was just like whateves, it is what it is. Another great dress from RTR

sparkle sparkle sparkle
So, this was a pleasant surprise. I wore this dress to a Mardi Gras Ball in DC. I ordered another dress for the occasion and hated the way it looked on me. An RTR stylist actually picked this one out for me and I prayed that it would work. I loved it! It was super flattering it had so much sparkle and was just perfect for the occasion. Only problem I had was it seems a bit to big in the bust area and it was puckering a little bit and would show my bra BUT then I realized I just needed to pull the waist down properly and that wouldn't happen. Oops. Anyway, huge shout out to RTR for getting me the perfect dress. Thanks guys!

Vegas Perfection - Sparkly, Fun, & Short!
I rented this for a girls night in Vegas. I was in Vegas for work and decided to stay the weekend. This was my work's over time to play dress. It was perfect, I wore it to dinner and drinks (which my CEO attended, and I wasn't embarrassed to be wearing this dress), a show (if you're in Vegas I highly recommend Rock of Ages), and then dancing after. It was perfect for all occasions. However, the dress is really short. I'm slightly taller then 5'3 and it was about mid thigh for me ( I do have some junk in the trunk so that would affect the length). I might even want to buy this dress I loved it so much, a fun lbd to add to the closet.

Super pretty but a little heavy for dancing.
The earrings were great, but I took them off before I started dancing they are defiantly on the heavy side, but great to dress me up a little more for a black tie optional wedding.

LOVED this dress! Sexy, Flirty, and Classy!
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner, and it might have been a tad to dressy but who cares. I loved the skirt (it had just enough bounce), and the length was perfect, not to short on my my 5'3 frame. It was super flattering and just a lot of fun. I would defiantly rent this dress again.

Perfect for the races!
I loved this dress, it had a super flattering fit, the lace was lovely, the color was awesome. It was great for a day time event (I wore it to a horse race). Only problem, the straps were a little long and kept sleeping off my shoulders because of the lower back. Other then that I loved the dress, and I think it looked really good on.

The dress was beautiful, but way more cleavage then I was prepared.
I am pretty curvy, usually wear a size 6 in dresses. The dress was fitted in the hip area but my main problem was the top. I wear a 34D and this dress defiantly showed the twins off. So if you are a bit bigger on top, think about how much cleavage you want to show. I received a lot of compliments and the dress is really flattering in the stomach area. You just have to rock it with confidence.

So fun, Conservative in the front, party in the back!
This was such a fun dress, the fit was perfect. The color is a a dark teal. The Open back was just enough to be sexy but not make you feel like the dress was falling off. I loved it!

The ruffles are huge but fun
The ruffles are big, it's very loose at the top because of the open back and a bit fitted through the hips. It was a fun dress but maybe slightly bridal (great for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner). I wore it to a Friday evening cocktail event during the summer. I liked the dress but didn't love it.

I thought that the shoulders were a bit broad and since its an open back you want to make sure it doesn't fall off. This is a great dress!
