Comfy and Cute
I really loved this dress! The thick fabric had a hint of stretch that made dancing easy (attended a wedding) but also very flattering. The embroidery is very pretty and on trend. I received a lot of compliments! I'm a true size 8 and ordered the M and L. Wore the M the day of and it was perfect. Only thing to be careful of is the slit in the front!

Such a fun dress!
Probably one of my favorite RTR dresses ever! This Milly dress was a heavier fabric that really flattered and was warm enough to wear to a December office holiday party. The big ruffle sleeves were dramatic, fun, and made this dress so much more than your typical LBD. I received so many compliments! The fit was TTS and I loved that no special undergarments were necessary. Would 100% rent this dress again!

Super cute for a night out
Loved this dress! I wore it to dinner with friends out in Las Vegas. The sleeves cover you up while the hemline is short so it doesn't come off as dowdy at all. I'm 5'5" and it was short on me, so beware if you are tall. Didn't take a picture, unfortunately!

Cute Birthday Dress
The fit and length on this dress is TTS. The fabric was a bit heavier/thicker than it thought, but it was fine for a late summer evening. The dry cleaning smell really sits so take out of the bag and air out once you get it. The fit looks like it would be a swing style dress, but there's actually a (slightly unflattering) horizontal seam at the hip. It can make the fit look dowdy. Overall, I liked the dress, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Flattering dress, unique fabric!
This dress fit perfectly true to size. The exaggerated shoulders were a cool touch (even if you are busty like I am, it doesn't make you look too top heavy). The fabric has a cool, woven design and a little hint of stretch. Only thing I could say was a con was that it was a little longer on my 5'5" height with an 8. (I run into this problem a lot). I would definitely recommend this dress. I wore mine to a charity gala and received a lot of compliments.

Cute Dress for NYE
If your daring enough to try a cut-out, then this dress is a great choice! Fabric isn't super stretchy so I went up from my usual size 8 so I'd be comfortable all night. Wore this to a NYE party at a hotel and it was perfect for the occasion. A little bit sexy and really fun. The lace overlay is really well made and never snagged. Great dress!

Obsessed with this dress
I am obsessed with this dress! Funny thing is I didn't even wear it to the event I intended to because it was much too cold the day if the event so I opted for my other rental since it worked with tights. I didn't take a picture when I tried it on (I should have!), but it fit perfectly, true-to-size. I'm an 8 with a 34D bust and it worked with a strapless bra. The mid-section appliqué part is really subtle if you are worried about showing stomach. The overlay is really gorgeous, ornate, and well constructed so I don't imagine it would snag on everything. This dress is shorter so be prepared to show off some leg. You could wear it with black tights but I think it would take away from the detail of the dress. I will probably rent this dress again so I get the chance to wear it out!

So many compliments!
This dress had a shift shape , but still managed to flatter and not be sack-like. I wore my true size and it was the perfect fit and length. The sequins aren't itchy at all. I wore with tights and black booties because it was cold out and it looked perfect. I got so many compliments! I would wear this dress over and over! Perfect for a charity cocktail event.

Cute winter cocktail dress
Loved this dress! Fit very true to size. Material is heavier weight so perfect for a more formal cocktail event in the colder months. Has no stretch so I sized up for my 2nd size, but wore my true size 8. I wore with more modern strappy shoes (like the model) to not look too retro. Totally worth the rent! Loved it!

Looks like the picture. Very flattering for girls with a bigger bust. The blue is very pretty.
This was my last choice replacement dress after my initial dress wasn't sent due to damage. It is a pretty dress, and runs true to size., it just wasn't my personal favorite. It didn't feel that special or "I got this from RTR" to me. I didn't end up wearing it for the intended event (rehearsal dinner) as I wore my sister's rental of the Shoshanna Barbara dress instead. Anyway, didn't fit my personal taste I had in mind for the event, but I think this is an easy choice for a pretty dress that runs true to size.
