Too small
Couldn't wear because I could barely get them zipped, but this was my fault for a picking a size too small.

Fun but wrinkly
I loved wearing this top! Wore it with a black pencil skirt, and the volume up top was such a cool contrast to the tighter bottom half. The cotton part was a bit wrinkly and hard to get ironed out, but it was worth it. Also, the sleeve closure around the forearms was a bit tight. I do not have unusually girthy forearms... But lots of compliments!

Love these pants, but I felt they were a bit tight for the size around the waist.

Classy dress with a hint of sexy!
This dress fit beautifully, and with the substantial, high quality material of the lining and overlay, it gave me a really smooth shape. The center cut out is very subtle. I wore the 6, which was just a bit roomy up top and comfortable around the waist, even after dinner; but the 4 was too tight in the bottom half to sit down. The 4 fit and looked great - almost as if I was wearing spanx - but a girl's got to sit at some point. Very happy, and as usual, the comments came rolling in as soon as I got to the party. Highly recommended dress!

Great for dancing!
This dress fit beautifully. It was classy and comfortable, and as always with RTR, people made a point of coming to tell me they loved my dress. The waist was the tightest part, and though not uncomfortable, it was snug around my approx. 27 in. waist. No stretch, so take that into account. Very fun dress for dancing as the fabric swings nicely without flying up. Great rental for a wedding!

Navy Lines Dress

Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"

Sparkles were just enough to stand out without STANDING OUT, if you know what I mean.
This was perfect for a long dinner show in the winter. The dress was warm, even with the low back, and I wore it with boots and tights. The waist was perfect with a loose A-line that came to about an inch above my knee. The shoulders left some room but didn't fall off, and the sleeves, while cut so I couldn't really raise my arms above my shoulders, were comfortable. The arms on the six were definitely cut wider - as in bigger around - so if you're between sizes and have bigger arms or shoulders, you can go up a size for comfort.

Wearing this the night before January Jones wore a green jumpsuit to the Emmy's!
This jumpsuit was so comfortable! It's a beautiful, dark green, flows nicely, and stays up. I wore the 6 because I was going to be eating and dancing and there is no stretch around the waist, but the 4 fit better. Only cons for me were that it was a bit long - with 3" heels, I had to tape-hem it a good 2 inches - and the front, crossover panel can gape open a bit when you're not sitting up straight or standing. Also, it didn't come with the belt in the picture.

White with a silver shimmer stood out in the familiar sea of black.
The fabric - the color and intricate texture - was so beautiful. I barely got in the door before my first compliment from a complete stranger (the guy passing the appetizers and martinis!). Two small issues: The bust was roomy. I wore a bra that put me in the B range, and I think a C or D would have fit just fine. The boning in the dress kept it up, but it was a bit loose. Also, the tulle under the skirt needed some work before I could wear it. It's meant to hang down below the overskirt, but it was bunched up and tangled when it arrived, so it just hung down in places and looked like it was hanging down by accident. An iron on low with steam worked to fix the problem.

A bit too tight and a bit too long
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear this. The 4R was too tight (I'm usually between a 4 and 6), but the 6L (6R wasn't available) was much too long for my 5'4" frame. The dress itself was so lovely, and I would consider renting it again when the 6R is available. Customers service was great, of course, and overnighted me a replacement dress that fit perfectly.

Felt sexy, classy, and edgy, all at the same time!
Such a comfortable dress, and such interesting details. The length was perfect for my 5'4" height - mid-thigh. The back is great, but it does tend to gape a bit on the side if you stand up too straight or twist a bit. It's nice enough for heels but can be dressed down with boots. The 4 fit a bit better on my top half, but it was a bit tight on the hips, which made it ride up a bit. The 6 was more comfortable. Perfect service, as usual. Very happy with RTR once again!

One fellow partygoer told me I had "an Audrey Hepburn thing going on." :)
This was a very comfortable dress, though the arms were a bit tight as other reviewers noted. Also, I could have worn the size down except for the fit in the hips. I'm about a size 6 on my bottom half right now, and the band on the 40 was just a bit too tight for the dress to lay right on me. It kept hiking up, which created a wrinkle/poof around my middle. The 42 fit better on the hips, but I lost a bit of the shape around my waist. Overall, this was a great dress for a fairly casual, somewhat chilly outdoor party on a horse farm.

Perfect for a garden wedding!
I really loved this dress. I agree it runs large; I'm a pretty solid 4 right now in A-line dresses, but I wore the 2. I didn't wear a bra since the back was a bit too low on me for a regular bra (see pic), and I could have used one to fill out the top a bit. But the fabric was gorgeous, the color (a bit deeper than the bright yellow in the stock photo) was lovely, and I got several compliments through the night. Highly recommended!

I couldn't stop staring at my bling when I wore this. It was really beautiful - sparkly and not cheap looking. But it was also pretty big, so be sure you want BIG before you reserve this.

Not great for my body or skintone
This dress did not work for me. At 5'4'', perhaps I was just too short for the draping to work well. The draping around the waist hit me right about the hips, and the effect was unflattering - it made me look shapeless. Also, the color is definitely mustardy, with perhaps a hint of lime, which did not work for my fair skin. It was a very interesting dress; it just didn't work for me.

Such a perfect fit!
I adored this dress. I'm usually betwee a 4 and 6, and the 4 fit perfectly with a padded bra (I think the bra bumped me up to a 34B). The seams in the front of the dress accentuate the curve of your waist, and the A-line of the dress is very flattering on the hip area. The fabric is so interesting and fun, too, with the skin tone (for me_ underlayer and bright red crochet layer on top. I wore this to work with a sweater and then to a campaign watch party sans sweater that evening, and it fit right in both places. Highly recommended!

So elegant!
This dress was really lovely. The back was stunning, and the fit was perfect for me. The length worked well with 3 inch heels, though I wouldn't go any higher for my height. The only issue I had was with the nude color underskirt, which hung down just a bit on the bottom under the black layer. I taped it up on the inside, though, and it stayed. Not a big problem. I got several compliments through the night, as usual with these RTR dresses, and I really hate to send the dress back!

Loved the color and draping in the front.
This was a lovely dress, though I wore a different one for my event. The petite was a perfect length for me. The regular was way to long, even with 3 inch heels. Also, the ruching in the back pulled the dress away from the curve of my waist in the back, which made me look thicker than I am. That said, it really is a lovely dress.

Lovely and comfortable
This dress was perfect for Easter Sunday. I had to wear the size 6 belt with the size 4 dress, which was odd. Also, the lining at the top showed the top of the first bra I tried with it, so I had to switch to another bra that was more a demi cup. Otherwise, the fit was great, and I really liked the dress.

These were great. They were large and a beautiful color. They were a bit heavy, at least for someone who rarely wears earrings, but the sore ears were worth it. Lots of compliments and "oo look at those!" from my ladies at the party. This was a mystery bling item, too, so well done RTR!

Stands out in a sea of LBDs!
This was a really lovely dress. It was classy and conservative for a professional Christmas party, and definitely stood out in all the black and grey most people were wearing. The fabric feels very high quality, and the fit was pretty standard. The top may have been a bit tighter than other size 6s, but it fit perfectly on me with a thin bra (no padding). The lining of the dress was hanging down a bit, but tape was an easy fix. As usual, I got lots of compliments and questions about where I found the dress. Very fun!

Really fun piece to wear. A bit heavy, but not uncomfortable. Also, it has a magnetic closure, so vigorous dancing and spinning may result in the bracelet flying off your wrist... only happened twice. :)

Really classy
I rented this for a holiday dinner at a country club. It was beautiful and very comfortable the whole night. I'm usually a 4 up top and a 6 on the bottom, and the 2 fit me perfectly all over. This was my first rental, and it was so easy! Can't wait to rent again.

A fabulous dress that made me feel both classy and sexy!
This was an amazing dress. I felt beautiful all night, and I got quite a few compliments, even from strangers. The dress is definitely form fitting. If you don't want it hugging your shape, especially the bum regions, I'd pick a different dress. I'm a 34A and a size 4-6 in the hips, but the size 6 dress fit perfectly with a slightly padded strapless bra. The only slight flaw was the hanger straps are attached at the points of the sweatheart neckline, and they kept trying to poke up. Otherwise, it was a really perfect rental. Thanks, RTR!
