Pretty colors, thin fabric, overall OK
Had to wear a size too big because that's all that was available. Skirt doesn't have much structure so for tucking in another shirt I used Spanx underneath and tried to smooth it out. Loved the light colors, definitely good for the spring/summer because material is so thin.

Colorful & Comfortable for a Desert Party!
Wore in UAE where I needed to be a bit more covered, it does have a deep v-neck and center split in the skirt but it wasn't overly revealing and the puffy sleeves balanced it out. Loved the bright colors, great for a summer party!

Perfect for a night at a palace!
Wore this to a palace in Abu Dhabi where I needed to be conservative, but still feel glamorous and not overly dressed up. I wore while pregnant and the waist was definitely tight in my usual size, the material is not at all stretchy but luckily it zipped up! Loved the color, pattern and flowy skirt.

Isabel Midi Dress
SALONI

Simple, pretty and comfortable!
The only issue I had was due to cut and length that made it hard to move my legs (consideration for a night full of dancing) because the material wasn't too stretchy. I loved the thin straps the more conservative length with the sexy lace overlay and the flattering cut in on the waist. Would wear again.

Comfortable, unique skirt - great for work!
Wore at mid-rise waist height, fit great, stretchy and comfortable. Nice, conservative skirt with fun metallic color in pleats. Was a little hard to pack without wrinkling some of the pleats but after hanging for a bit the shape returned. Would recommend!

Sheer Lurex Klara Skirt
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 9"

Sophisticated, sexy, unique LBD! Perfect for NYE.
I was worried this wouldn't fit for a NYE party after many holiday parties drinking and eating nonstop, but the XS was pretty roomy in the bottom half (my usual problem area) maybe it was stretched out? but it was tighter in the shoulders because the sleeves and neck are so fitted, this was my bigger concern - needed help with the zipper... once it was on I loved it! The peekaboo of midriff skin was sexy, but not at all too much because the longer length and the fully covered chest balanced it. The lace hem needed a bit of clean-up from loose strings, so my one negative star was because of the condition of the dress more than anything else. Happy I went for a different style than usual and chose this!

Classy, fun dress to wear for engagement photos!
Great fit! I'm 5'9'' and rented the long version, it got caught on my heels a couple times but was the right length for me with the pumps I was wearing. I loved this dress, perfect for my "Streets of NYC" engagement photos - it was a unique hem line with the spiderweb style lace and high-low hem. Easy to wear a regular bra in BUT the back is lower cut so I did have to push down my bra and loosen the straps to hide it a few times. It's slimming in black and has a flattering v-neck fit. Got lots of compliments from friends seeing the photos after! And fun to twirl in :)

Pretty fabric, cute back detail, not a great fit.
I liked the metallic colors and mix of blues in this and adored the cute bow in the back, but the overall fit was disappointing. It was very tight in the hips so I had to size up and the arm holes go too far down (see some other user's photos). The extra flap of fabric from the bow in the back makes you look a bit wider from that side view. I don't think I'll be trying this brand again.

Pin-up style, sexy, flirty and fun! Lots of compliments on this party dress.
This was tight in the ribcage area but has corset-like boning and doesn't require a bra. The polka dot lace crosses in the front, but had a tendency to shift open, showing a little too much cleavage. The full skirt was fun to twirl and dance in and definitely covered a good amount of leg to balance the more minimal top! Got lots of compliments, and I certainly felt pretty from the flattering fit that sucks you in and a style that was unique. Glad I picked it!

Looks better in person! Tons of compliments on this unique, flirty, fun dress
It runs slightly small but not enough that I would mark that down on overall fit. The tight fitting part is the bodice area with a deep v-neck cut. The metallic color and fabric are so pretty! The length appears shorter in the image and on this model than in person and I am tall (5' 9''). The fit and flare cut is very flattering. Wore to a formal dress rehearsal dinner and got lots of compliments and it was unlike anyone else's dress that night.

So sexy, yet still classy and glamorous!
I loved this dress and the whole RTR experience. It was my first time trying it out and I needed a dress for a more formal wedding. It arrived exactly when they said it would with nice packaging in a garment bag. The 0 fit perfectly, though I am sometimes a 2 with other brands. The L was perfect for wearing heels with. The fabric is stretchy and hugs your curves - so sexy, yet still classy and glamorous! It looks more blue in brighter lighting (see second photo). I plan to rent again very soon for another black tie wedding!
