Stunner!
Such a sophisticated, classy piece! The color is a beautiful jewel tone and the satin fabric is very on trend. I loved the high neck and the bow feature! Satin of course can be hard for any type of perspiration and wrinkles! This also cut in rather far at the armpit so my bra was peeking a little at the sides which was definitely a negative . I wore the 4 and am 5’3 120lbs at time of event. The length was great!

Did not disappoint!
Ordered this dress as a backup option and so glad I did! The high neck line brings a level Of sophistication but the slit and low back bring a flirty & fun vibe! The fabric is compressing which is forgiving (plus no bra was needed!) and the slit makes dancing/dropping it low easy! What a gorgeous dress for a formal event! 10/10!

Sophisticated & Sexy
This dress was very lightweight and comfortable. The corset top enhances your waist and the slit allows for easy movement. Although it was a little low cut it was perfect for my NYE gala. The color is a warm berry, gorgeous! No bra needed--even better! The boning of the corset was a little uncomfortable but nothing unmanageable! My fiancé kept saying I looked like Jessica Rabbit!

Flirty & Fun!
This romper was so adorable for my 30th 4th of July birthday! So many compliments! It fits true to size, is super comfy, and the pop of skin in front & back make it just flirty enough without being too revealing. I would have worn the 4 but it had arrived damage. The color is bright and the material thick enough to hide any sweat! Take a friend to the bathroom though because it can be a challenge alone! Will rent again!

Classy & Colorful
I rented this for a Charleston bachelorette party and it was perfect! The colors are bright and vibrant and the material is a bit thicker (no need to worry about it showing any sweat marks!) I'm generally a 4 in dresses and after reading Lilly reviews was advised to size up. I was comfortable all night. Such a fun dress to brighten up your night!

FUN alternative to the LBD
This jumpsuit was super sassy and I received many compliments! A great alternative to the traditional LBD- especially for a late autumn wedding. I was annoyed when my size arrived with a broken clasp but otherwise I️t fit well. It's definitely a challenge to use the bathroom so bring a buddy or don't be afraid to ask a stranger :)

Very flattering- but wear spanx!
Super comfortable, thicker fabric, so it was perfect for a cool late September wedding. I wouldn't recommend it for a hot summer day. Make sure you wear a good pair of spanx, the stomach isn't very forgiving. It runs a little small- the 4 fit perfectly for me. I have a small chest (A-cup) and usually wear a 2.

Show stopper!
This dress is nothing short of fabulous! I ended up wearing the 2 although I could have worn the 4 instead--- it was a toss up. I ended up wearing the 2 because it fit me a little better in the chest (so that I wouldn't need to wear a bra) & didn't gather so much in the abdomen. I received endless compliments on this dress, both in person and through social media! Rent it, you won't be disappointed!

A classic beauty with added flirty & fun!
This dress was gorgeous!! The off the shoulder cut made it feminine and classic but the cut out and slight slit made it flirty and fun! The color is gorgeous and the material is forgiving! I wore the small and felt comfortable all night- didn't even need a bra. I received so many compliments on the dress and felt beautiful and confident. Rent this dress, you won't be disappointed!

Sassy, sophisticated, and fun
The dress was chosen as a last minute back up when I received notice that my original dress, in either size, wasn't available in time. The size 4 fit true to size (5'3", 125lbs)- form fitting through hips but a little large in the bust. I felt confident and comfortable in the dress, a gorgeous color, and perfect for a summer wedding in the Caribbean.

Classic with a bit of edge
What a FAB dress! I rented this for my company holiday party, dubbed "Prom" and I couldn't have felt more beautiful. This is an elegant, classic dress but the slit and cutout give it just the edge it needs. The material is thick, but not too heavy. It is structured revealing the high quality design of the dress. My boyfriend couldn't say enough wonderful things and I received SO many compliments all throughout the night. I will say the dress runs small in the rib cage and waist. I'm usually a 4 but had to wear the 6. Rent this, you WILL NOT regret it.

Gorgeous detail
This dress was picked out for me by an RTR stylist when I didn't like the way my original dress fit. She overnighted To me and I had it by noon the next day- great customer service! She included a backup size 6 and another style dress in a size 4 which I actually liked better than this but I felt was too sexy for a wedding. This dress detail was gorgeous and the color lovely. However it was a little long for my 5'3 size and the back had been slightly stretched out. My bf thought I looked gorgeous but I likely won't rent again. Better for someone with a taller frame

Sexy yet classic
This dress was selected for me by an RTR stylist when I didn't like the way my original order fit. We went through my style and the event I was attending and decided we liked this dress and another more formal lace choice. I tried both and my boyfriend LOVED this dress-- couldn't take his hands off me when i tried it on. I ultimately decided on the other though because I didn't want to be too sexy for a wedding. But I will definitely rent this dress for another occasion. I gave 4 stars because there is no forgiving in this dress. You can't wear any undergarments due to its material- they will definitely show. You also can't have a big dinner, either! I was also worried about sweat with it being an outdoor wedding- this material would show sweating especially because it clings to every part of you. However, I felt sexy in the dress and would definitely rent for a date night or bachelorette party etc

Sassy meets sophisticated!!
If I could own something I've rented from RTR, this is it! Which is saying a lot considering I make on average 10-12 rentals a year! Going into this rental I wasn't sure if I could pull this look off. A one piece jumpsuit on a 5'3" person just didn't seem to work out. But man was I ever wrong! I paired it with a gold-studded black skinny belt, leopard pumps, and a chunky necklace and my boyfriend couldn't believe how sexy I looked. It was so outside of my comfort zone but I felt like a rockstar in it! I wore it to a work party and I had men and women approaching me telling me how well I rocked it. You can't help but feel confident. The corset top and padded built-in's make it unnecessary to wear a bra- which c'mon ladies...we all love that! I scrunched the legs up as to make them look more like cropped pants/show off my ankles and it worked perfectly. You look sassy and sexy all while being comfortable! Can't wait to rent this again!!

Stunning dress in a GORGEOUS color!
This was a perfect dress for a spring wedding to kick off the wedding season. I received numerous compliments on the dress throughout the night and I can't count the number of times my boyfriend told me how beautiful I looked. It was easy to dance in and I was comfortable all night. This was my backup dress for the event and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Another great experience, highly recommend!

I felt like a movie star! My boyfriend said, "I've never seen you look so incredible"
There is no other way to describe this dress except for WOW. From the moment I put it on I fell in love. I chose this dress for my company holiday party, often referred to as prom for adults. My boyfriend had a white dinner jacket and I knew this dress would look GLAMOROUS next to it. And did it ever. When my boyfriend walked in the room after I was finished getting ready he actually did not have words. He said the only word that came to mind was, "WOW!" I was complimented ALL evening by friends and even strangers. I even heard someone say as I walked by, "Wow, that dress is absolutely stunning." If you're looking for a show stopper gown that makes you feel like a princess, this is it! Returning it was so hard. Will DEFINITELY rent again. Thanks for another magical moment, RTR!

Gorgeous Detail
The delicate lace paired on top of the nude underlay made this dress modest with a romantic flair. My boyfriend's words were, "Stunning!". I ordered the 2 and 4 originally for the wedding and they were too big! I called RTR and they overnighted me a 0 and it arrived around 11am the next day! Thank goodness! I loved the dress, it was easy to dance in and comfortable to wear. The only downsize was a small tear in the armpit, but it wasn't noticeable unless I raised my arms (reason for 4 stars). I would definitely recommend this dress!

Absolutely Gorgeous!
This dress was gorgeous! The color is a rich watermelon pink that is perfect for a summer wedding! The lacey details gives this fun color an overall sophistication. I rented the 2 and 4 and went with the 4 as it gave me a little more room in the hips. However, it was a little larger in the bust and shoulder area, causing the back to pop out a bit (only reason I'm rating it a 4). I had to wear stick on cups and if I had had fashion tape I'm sure I wouldn't have had issues at all. I paired the dress with a gold belt and cream patent leather heels. Received TONS of compliments all night and conversation of my dress even carried over to the next day at the breakfast brunch! I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone looking to turn heads and feel sassy yet elegant and sophisticated!

Sassy yet sophisticated! It was modest enough for a wedding yet the pop of color was a showstopper!
This dress fit true to size. I ordered the 2 and 4 and ended up in the 4 as to have a little more room in the bust and length. I added a thin patent leather cream belt around the waist to separate the top and bottom. The color looks GREAT against a tan and I received compliments all night on the dress! It even has snap straps under the shoulder straps to secure your bra so your bra straps don't slip and show! I loved that added touch, although simple. The material was thick and sturdy and the skirt didn't flare as much as the picture shows which I preferred. My boyfriend LOVED the dress..I would definitely rent again!
