Great dress! Unexpected back calls attention, but a little shorter than the model makes it look.
Wore this dress for a New Year's Eve wedding and received many compliments. Having just had a baby, I wanted to wear something full coverage, but with a touch of sexy - and this did the trick. I loved the asymmetrical hem, it was the perfect excuse to wear amazing shoes and to do a lot of spinning on the dance floor... although I'll say the model pictured makes the dress look longer than it is in real life. I decided to go a size up, even though the dress runs true to size to give myself the extra length I wanted. Definitely recommend. ALSO, was great for packing since the material did not wrinkle at all. And good for winter or a more formal occasion since there is some weight to the fabric.

Mystery bling = big success
I ordered "mystery bling" and was pleasantly surprised with this necklace -- a perfect match to the Kate Spade Hole In One Dress that I wore to my bridesmaid luncheon. I would definitely order this necklace again. The length was perfect for a high neckline.

Beware of this dress if you have a booty!
I was surprised to see other reviews saying this dress ran "true to size" or "large"... I ordered two sizes, a 6 (which I normally wear) and an 8 (just to be safe). They were both way too small! I could get them on, but they didn't look flattering at all. On top of that, another customer had apparently sewed the slit completely shut on the size 6. It was totally unwearable, even if it had fit right. I do not recommend this dress if you have anything resembling a booty -- pear shapes, athletic shapes, and hourglasses beware. Also, this fabric is textured and thicker than it appears in the image.

Beautiful, high quality, showstopper.
This necklace was gorgeous in person. I didn't get to wear it, since I ended up wearing my backup dress, but wish I could've. It's certainly a statement piece.

Bright, summery, fun!
I ordered this dress as my backup, but the colors were so vibrant and perfect for my outdoor event that I ended up wearing this one instead. The dress was slightly longer than it appears on the model, which was perfect for someone tall like me. It hit about 6 inches above the need. I was able to wear a regular bra with this, with no problem -- even though the stylists recommend a nu-bra or backless bra. The back was low, but not so low that you needed to wear one. I also found this dress traveled really well without wrinkling, which was a bonus since I had to pack it in a suitcase before my event. I would definitely rent it again.

So cute for my bridesmaid luncheon!
This dress is so cute for a day party/ luncheon! I wore this along with some the Kate Spade Bryce Bauble Necklace (via "mystery bling", always my favorite accessories option) to a bridesmaid luncheon. Both the 4 and 6 fit great. I think the top runs a bit large, and the bottom is pretty forgiving, so definitely order down for a backup size. Thank you RTR for making my pre-wedding events outfits so much better!

Perfect for my rehearsal dinner!
I rented this dress for my own rehearsal dinner - thinking I would probably end up wearing something lacier and more "wedding" - when I tried this on for my friends they unanimously voted for me to wear this dress instead! It had the perfect amount of shimmer, and the fuschia color really stood out against the more drab fall colors. I LOVED this dress. It was more stunning in person than in the photos on the site.

Sexy but appropriate for my husband's office holiday party!
This dress was great, it cinched at all the right places, and was forgiving too! The fabric was lighter than I was expecting, but went great with dark tights for a winter party. The blue was a great, bright cobalt - which I really loved. I would definitely rent this dress again :)

Didn't get to wear it :(
I normally wear a 4-6 dress size. I ordered the 4, but it turned out the 6 wasn't available as a backup. Unfortunately the 4 was way too small, so I couldn't wear it, but it definitely looked great on the hanger and was high quality material - would've been perfect for my husband's Christmas party! If you're ordering this dress, I definitely recommend ordering a size UP.

Didn't end up wearing it, but cool necklace.
I got this necklace as "mystery bling", but wasn't sure which outfit to wear it with... it seemed a little to "Madonna" to wear with my gold sequin rental, and a little too picture perfect with my pink ombre rental. A nice piece, but also was an awkwardly short length with the dresses I rented. Too bad!

Great dress for bridal shower... if you're the bride!
This dress was lovely. A little lighter weight than I was expecting - the arms are totally sheer. It didn't have any give at all, so was a little tough to wear while sitting down for extended periods of time (opening presents), or for bending down to reach and pick up things. The colors were bright and beautiful. The mid section of this dress was a little loose - If I owned it, I would've gotten it taken in, but the hip and bust fit totally true to size.

The perfect dress for my bachelorette party!
This dress had a forgiving fit - if you're in between sizes you could probably wear either. It's comfortable for a big night out of eating, drinking, and dancing. It's a little more gold than it looks in the picture. Fashion tape is a must if you are more busty, but you definitely need to go bra-less with this low cut dress. Absolutely loved it! It was the best choice for my rooftop bar, club, trendy restaurant bachelorette party!
