Perfect slinky gown
Ordered for a modeling gig where I needed a simple black sexy gown. It's simple in design, but structure is incredible. The material is very stretchy, comfortable, and exposes every curve. I went braless because well, implants, but I'd def recommend a nubra for support because the back is very low and the material is thin enough to let everyone know that you're cold. The straps are adjustable so there's room for neckline management but cleavage is inevitable. Length Long was perfect for 4"heels

Absolute Perfection
Wore this to a night out in Boston for cocktails and a concert. I can't describe just how amazing this dress is, but it dropped jaws and made me feel like a sexy Mortal Kombat rockstar. The leather is supple and almost has a stretch to it, the waist band is wide and comfortable, making the cut incredibly flattering. The length is perfect for mid thigh (5'7"). Only concern was the deep V neckline, I wore a black plunge bra that peeked out here and there accidentally but wasn't too much of an issue. I definitely would rent this again and recommend it if you want instant outfit confidence.

Adorable summer dress
This dress is very short, but if you have legs to rock, I say go ahead. Just wear nude undies or something for the inevitable Marylin Monroe moments you'll be having. This fit well, even braless, the material is thick enough to conceal the nips. There is a lining as well that makes the dress lay smooth but traps body heat in the mid section. I'm 5'7", almost 6ft in the heels and would probably be more appropriate for a shorter person.

What you NEED to know about this dress.
Okay this dress is amazing in theory but had some flaw where I almost sent it back. This dress runs SMALL. I'm usually a 4/6 S, the Medium was so tight over my hips and thighs, I couldn't pull it up for the restroom. That being said, it's short, but too tight to expose the bits. Stairs were entertaining. The top was looser, and I'm a 32C. and the lining was folding out from the top and had to be pinned in. There is structured boning on the sides that keeps your girls up but I'd suggest a backless sticky bra for shape. It's too low for a normal strapless. Once I was stitched and encapsulated in this thing, it was GORGEOUS. The color is vibrant and the over skirt drapes in a flattering way. The fabric is like a thick lined linen but perfect weight for summer. The belt is adjustable and detachable. Although this dress is BEGGING for pockets, I'd still recommend it.

"Statement earrings" is an understatement.
These earrings were gorgeous, well made, and moderate weight. They are an acrylic/plastic feel so they aren't as heavy as expected. That being said, they are large CLIP ON earrings and movement can toss them off your ear lobes. It happened a couple times and I was able to grab them and put them back before losing them thankfully. Highly recommend for non-dancing-wedding guests. The color is similar to opal and mother of pearl. My hair is a lavender gray and the blue in the earrings stood out for contrast. Definitely rent these! With caution.

Fits like a dream.
This dress is a perfect little curve exposer. Very form fitting but structured and stretchy so I didn't feel mummified all night. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that this dress had seen better days and the slit's stitching came undone and popped open a few inches, I had to emergently stitch it back in the venue bathroom but all was not lost. I got countless compliments and enjoyed how comfortable this dress was regardless. (Paired with Lele Sadoughi Cloudy Sky earrings)

This top is everything!!!
I rented this top for a MISSIO concert/night out. I had my reservations at first, being a 32DDD. You can not wear a bra with this top at all. Not even the stick on because of those side wings. I attempted the chicken cutlet idea and it sat awkwardly. Then I went all free and it looks amazing. The front seams run strategically over the nips, hiding any signs of "chilliness". And the tasteful side boob was a hit. This piece is so versatile and comfortable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

A tad disappointed
I looked like a Saran wrapped hoagie. No mater the size, the shape of this dress from front on just looked tubular and not in a good way. I'm decently curvy and this was not. Also the models dress is different. The neckline has an odd little bow that really does not have a place with the dress Art Deco style. I love the idea of it, but it's not what I expected.

The fabric is so luxurious
This is the only photo I could find showing the full dress. (Not actually choking him). The fit was odd like the rest of the reviews said. The waist is very small but this is good for curvy girls. This dress fit me perfect and luckily it had flare to the hips/legs. The layering of this dress is incredible and works in the right areas. Wearing a bra will be difficult. Even the nubra I attempted stuck out the sides so I had to just go loosey for the evening. The fabric was thick so no one got a show. Definitely worth renting.

Beautiful
My event was cancelled but I paraded this number around the house while I could. It's so beautiful and I will absolutely rent this again. The origami folds accentuate every curve. I'm 5'7 and this dress was a modest mid thigh.

Perfectly feminine
Rented for my husbands birthday brunch and was a hit. I wore it with more of an industrial casual look: oxblood booties and a black chain choker. The fabric is incredible quality and the overlay is just sheer enough to make this flirty but still modest. The under skirt is fitted without stretch which did make sitting hard when it continued to ride up. This dress was perfect and definitely turned heads.

Perfect Tuscany LBD
I rented for a girls trip to tuscany and wore this on our fancy night out. It's a perfect stretch and so forgiving from the waistline to hips. It contoured my bum without looking too 'kardashian'. The length is modest for the leg conscious but the lace makes it fun and flirty. The top is quite lower than expected and finding a bra that doesn't show is tough. I opted for a very thin black lace bra so if it showed it looked like part of the dress. Same goes for the back. The opening is just low enough to show minimal bra band so I would suggest nubra or a low back. Over all I'm in love with this perfect dress. Also to note: the customer service at rtr is seriously unbeatable.

Perfect for a "fat day" top.
I wore this C/MEO top for a ladies night and it was perfect. I was a little conscious of bloat, I just wasn't feeling my thinnest. This top covers all and is so flattering. The neckline is beautiful and sophisticated. The only thing that would be tough for work is the crossover slit. I'd suggest a high waist pencil skirt to be safe from showing midriff.

Perfect pick for date night. Not too formal, not too casual.
I wore this jumpsuit for a "just because" date with the husband. It was perfectly sized and didn't look like I was trying too hard to pull off the winter white. The fabric is thick and stretchy, the cut outs are built up so your exposed body looks slimmer and prevents that roll look when seated. The one draw back I had was the absurdly tough zipper. The pull is delicate so pulling it up was painful on my hands. I needed staff to get completely dressed. Paired with a nocturne black/purple statement necklace and black sling back pumps.

Perfect statement necklace
I wore this necklace with a crisp white jumpsuit so the black definitely stood out and the gems were the focus here. High quality, beautiful piece. I would absolutely recommend.

Totally a style leap of faith and so happy I jumped!
I rented this piece for a Stroke seminar dinner. It is work appropriate and incredibly stylish but SO easy to wear. I'm usually in a uniform every day so a jumpsuit is out of my comfort zone. I couldn't be happier with it, just keep in mind a trip to the restroom is an event with the tie, hook, and full back zip. And for fit: I crossed the ties in front then back, then around for a shorter tie and more fitted waistline. I received so many compliments and comments.

Perfect versatile top
I rented this top for a Valentine's date followed by a work meeting. The fabric is high quality with a little knit stretch. The pictures almost seem like a soft cotton top but it has a nice finish and more structure than it shows. I wore fitted pants and stilettos to look feminine and professional. Would totally recommend this top to anyone looking for a chic easy piece.

Customer service!!
This dress runs incredibly small. I am a 6, the 8 couldn't be even zipped up. The fabric is a scuba material and seems it would lay well if the waistline fit. Also, the hemline where the sheer meets the thick fabric is very itchy and uncomfortable. I was unable to wear this dress and rtr set me up with an overnight replacement. Fabulous customer service!

Rtr customer service can't be topped!
Originally rented a David koma dress that proved to be unbelievably small. I called a stylist in crisis and this ML gown was overnighted on NYE. This gown is amazing for almost every body shape. The bodice is tight enough and the fabric is thick enough to go braless. The back is a deep V so there is really not many other options. THE COLOR IS FABULOUS. dark ink blot with a beautiful sheen when the light hits it as I tried to show in the photo. Highly recommend this gown for a classic/ sophisticated look.
