Fun pattern!
Wore this for a work conference, got headshots, wore to work and then also on a daycation. Such fun colors and so easy to wear! The waist has elastic which makes it really comfy. It feels a bit short because of how flowy the skirt is but I found that I still felt confident and comfortable.

A little short, even with a short torso
I never have the problem of a top being too short on me, but this one sat in an odd spot for me. Above the top of my pants, but not really cropped. It also was very flowy, almost too much so it felt like it flew up in the wind

Surprising in the best way
I have never owned a jumpsuit and normally do not like how they fit me, but this one was so fun to wear! I wore it a couple times and even brought it on a weekend trip. I will definitely rent again!

Fun for work or play
Wore it multiple times during my rental period. It was great to wear to work or on weekends to lunch with friends. The belt didn't stay very secure but it is sewn on so you can't remove it and use a different belt. That was really the only downside.

Comfy and has pockets!
Wore this for a work event and it was so fun and comfortable. I love to pockets and the sit of the arms makes it so you can wear it with any bra, which is always a plus!

Very short dress
I wanted to love this, but it just felt so short anytime I moved my arms. I wore it with tights which helped a little! It is definitely comfortable and easy to move around in

Very thick material
I liked the idea of the jagged bottom and the pink and white color block. But the material is very thick and very textured. It felt heavy when wearing it. It was also very small in the bust

Perfect dress for work. Super comfy and easy to style!
I read so many reviews saying to size up for I got the L and the XL, but the L fit me perfectly. I was worried about the vneck showing too much cleavage, but it was perfect for me. The length was also great for me! It hit mid thigh and even though it was windy the day I wore it, the material was thick enough that I did not need to worry.

Perfect amount of sparkle
I don't wear long earrings often because they get stuck in my hair but I chose to wear my hair up to accentuate the dramatic back of the dress I was renting so I rented these as well. They were the perfect length and were not heavy at all!

Runs big and wasn't too flattering for me
I rented this dress for NYE. I loved the pattern since it looks like jewels but isn't actually covered in stones. The dress is very pretty but it was too big on me and the sleeves were too long. It also gave me a boxy look which I wasn't a huge fan of but I decided to wear it anyway since the dress was festive for the occasion. I may rent again and try sizing down.

Rented this for Christmas. It's a tad short but I didn't mind since I was just going to dinner. Comfortable and fun dress to wear. Fits true to size minus the length.

This dress is so fun to wear! The colors are great and it goes with so many shoe/jewelry and accessory options. It has some stretch to it which is nice and it's comfortable for standing or sitting for long periods of time.

Totally outside my comfort zone! And I loved it!
I would never imagine I would look good in this style dress. It is not something I have ever worn before and I don't think I would want to buy it because I don't think I would wear it enough. But that is why I LOVE RTR!! I can try new styles and wear something I never would have otherwise. The under-slip was the perfect length on me and and length was fine. It touched the floor and I was wearing 4" heels, but I think the regular length would have been too long.

What a Great Dress!
The dress is so classic and was perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. The pockets are always a plus and the fabric feels very nice when wearing it. It was a little uncomfortable to wear the dress while driving (the neck was a little tight and the sleeves dug in to my arms when I was holding the steering wheel) but I was able to adjust it a bit to handle that. The color is perfect for fall/winter!

These were gorgeous! A little heavy to wear all day, but I don't usually wear large earrings so that may have been it. I loved wearing them and will probably rent them again!

Cute concept but didn't work for me :(
I ordered this dress to wear for my birthday weekend. It is totally outside my comfort zone so I thought I would try something new! Unfortunately this dress was too big for me. The sleeves were baggy and the dress was too big in the torso. The material is very thick so I don't think going down a size would have helped for me, because it wasn't baggy in the torso, there was just extra fabric for me. It is very cute and I am sure it would look great on the right person!

Too short and too big.
I ordered this for my birthday weekend but the dress was WAYYYY too short. I tried it on with tights to see if that would help, but it didn't. Also, it runs big in the waist. I could have gone down a size, but I can't imagine it getting any shorter! So, I wasn't able to wear it.

Perfect Valentin's Day dress!
I have been wanting to rent this dress for a while. But I was concerned it would be too short, but with Valentine's Day coming up, I took the chance! And it was SOOO worth it! I loved the dress! It was short but not too short. The lace over the nude base layer looks very chic and I paired it with nude heels, a nude clutch and pearls. I didn't have any problems with the crinoline like some other people did, but I wasn't too concerned about it either. I will definitely be renting this dress and the others like it in the future!

Top portion was WAY to tight. Couldn't wear.
The dress was beautiful when it arrived, but then i tried zipping it, the bust portion was way too tight. . And I even have a narrow ribcage. The neckline was really high too so I decided it was too uncomfortable to wear to the event.

Fun for a special event!
I rented this for NYE dinner and fireworks in DC with my dad. The other reviews said it was short.....and yes it is! The photo isn't that great, because the lighting all night was horrible for photos. But the dress fit fine. The hem at the very bottom of the skirt was very fitted whereas the whole dress is stretchy. So, I had to hike it up a little when I sat down, but I fixed that by wearing black tights underneath (and to stay warm!)

Great color and a fun dress to wear!!
The color is this dress definitely stands out! It doesn't need a necklace due to the keyhole neckline so I went with some off-white drop earrings and nude pumps. It is a bit fitted in the hips, but the slip underneath has a pretty lace edge which is the same color as the dress, so I didn't mind if it showed when I sat down. The dress is very comfortable and I found it pretty easy to move around in.

I got lucky with this one!
I received this dress when the one I originally ordered was damaged by the previous renter. I was in DC traveling for the holidays and wanted something that was fun, and could be worn with a coat easily. This was PERFECT! The dress is short and it accentuates the tush! I don't have much of one, but this dress creates it! It's stretchy and very comfortable to sit and stand in! I will definitely rent again!

Nice dress. Didn't wear it.
I am between a 10 and a 12. I had ordered both but the 12 was damaged by the previous renter, so they sent me another dress instead. I liked this one and I would have worn it but the top was very snug on my ribcage and there isn't any stretch so I opted for the other dress. Hopefully I can rent the 12 in the future.

Wore it for Xmas eve in DC. It runs big but looks beautiful.
The dress definitely runs big. I should have ordered a bck up smaller size but now I know for next time! You can't really belt it without it puckering and looking boxy, so I just left it alone. The dress is gorgeous and the color is really rich. It is a true red. It was perfect for Christmas Eve dinner.

Pretty dress, but I couldn't wear it. WAY TOO SHORT
The dress was a nice fabric and I ordered a size larger than I usually wear, but it was still WAY too short. I even tried it on with tights but the bottom of the dress didn't even cover my behind. Soo needless to say, I couldn't wear it.

I will have to rent this another time
I rented this for my birthday in August. It looked perfect for a day of lunch and hanging out with friends. Unfortunately, whoever rented/wore it before me ruined the dress and RTR got it back in bad shape. Lucky for me, Customer Service is the BEST at RTR! Katherine e-mailed me and told me the bad news, and gave me the option to rent any other dress instead of this one. I still like this one a lot and will be looking for another occasion to wear it.

Love the possibilities
I was sent these as a surprise gift because my original dress was ruined and Katherine is an angel and helped me get another one, on time AND sent me these!! First, I have VERY small wrists so usually bangles are a problem, but these for so well and were so fun to wear. Also I love the endless possibilities you have with combining the amount of bangles you wear at a time. Some are shiny, and some have sparkles! They are all magnificent. Thank you Katherine!

Made me feel sophisticated and a little sexy! Love the red and black lace combo!
Wore it to the opening of a new restaurant and then out to dinner after. I loved the red with the black lace panels. The sleeves popped up a bit, but I have that problem often because I have smaller shoulders, so I knew to just use some fashion tape. And i didn't mind. I also love that the dress looks sophisticated with just a hint of sexy, I didn't feel inappropriate wearing it to the opening. It is very comfortable and easy to sit and stand in.

Tight and shaping was wrong for me
I had been eyeing this dress for a while and decided to rent it for my birthday this summer, by unfortunately when I received it, I didn't end up wearing it because of how right and constricting it is. It's a beautiful bright pink color and I love the exposed zipper accent!

Super cute and easy to wear, but VERY short!
I got this dress for my graduation party! I loved the colors and since it was going to be an outdoor event I loved the springyness of it!! The pockets also were a huge plus. I was able to keep my phone with me without holding it in my hands the whole time. The dress doesn't look that short, but because it flares out, it feels VERY short when being worn. I had to roll my spandex shorts up so they wouldn't show. I wore nude wedges and pearls with it for simple accessories.

Elegant, exquisite, indulgent!
This dress was perfect for my sorority formal! I loved the color (it is a bright cherry red, with a hint of pink, so kinda a bright raspberry!) I paired it with a gold statement necklace because of the neckline, and some sparkly gold heels! it was super comfortable because of the stretchy material and the long length worked for me (I am 5'8" and wore 4" heels). I also liked the gathering along the stomach and behind area. It was very attractive and complimented most shapes.

A little bit, but very comfortable and fun to wear
I rented this for a formal Christmas Eve dinner in New York City. I got a large and an xlarge because I was worried about length and tightness around the midsection, but I definitely didn't need to be. The large was even a little baggy. I probably wouldn't have been comfortable in a medium, but I had lots of room in the large. It is true, a strapless bra is a must with this dress. The neck is very wide, and it slipped down on me a little so I had to adjust it a bit. But the fit was great. And the sleeves fit perfectly.

Perfect for a Starry night!
I wore this for my sororities semi formal in October. It was perfect for a night under the stars and I felt like I could dance the night away. The sleeves were super comfortable. Some people complained about the stones and sequins rubbing or sticking together, I didn't have that problem. I bunched the sleeves up to my elbow and then let them hang and I liked how it looked. The length was great for dancing, sitting and standing. It was short, but it didn't bunch up at all and it flattered my frame. Also, I could wear a normal bra, which I always appreciate. I paired it with silver hoop earrings and silver heels. I will definitely be renting this again.

Classic silhouette! So pretty
I loved how this fit. The nude underlay was beautiful and the maroon purple lace layer perfectly no matter how I stood or sat. The length was really nice and allowed me to squat down to talk to some of the little kids at the party as well. I paired it with a nude belt, nude heels and gold and pearl jewelry. This is the second time I rented it and I will definitely be renting this again!

Long straps, small bust
I couldn't wear this dress because the bust wouldn't zip up to the top, and my cleavage was going to fall out of the top. The straps are very long, and then the cups are very small. not meant for anyone with a larger chest, or smaller shoulders.
