Perfect + Special!

I rented this for a Valentine's Day date night + birthday dinner and it was perfect. I loved the swing, the color, the lace detail at the shoulders but most of all, the gorgeous bow that ties at the back of the neck. Plan to wear your hair up to show it off and receive compliments all night long. One of my favorite rentals ever!

Love the color + cutouts!

Overall, I loved this dress! It was really easy to wear - it did not have any weird fit issues and the cutouts, cap sleeves, and silhouette were all flattering. The color is gorgeous! But my one big caution is that you must wear this dress with some sort of strapless full-body Spanx. There are little pieces throughout the dress that poke through the inner lining and prick you. It's not tolerable unless you are wearing something to cover your torso. Once I solved that, I was happy all night!

Wish I had ordered up!

This dress runs small, so definitely order up. It's a great, thick fabric - so I loved that! But there is a band around the waist that will be really tight if you don't order up and when it's tight, it can make your hips look larger than usual.

Styled for an out-of-town event with ease!

I was traveling for a work event and didn't want to have to deal with packing and steaming a dress. I had this one delivered to my hotel and it was so nice. The dress itself was not my favorite RTR dress ever - it was a little tougher to wear because of the belt. The belt was flattering and cute in its bright color, but would easily bunch up and shift and just not stay in place. Other than that, I loved it! Unfortunately, I totally forgot that I had rented earrings to go with it - didn't discover those tucked in the garment bag until I went to pack up the dress for return.

Felt great in green!

This was the perfect dress for the charity luncheon I was working (especially because the designer, Trina Turk, was in attendance). I received so many compliments on the color - which is a bright kelly green. I loved that it had pockets (a must when working events!) and the fabric was thick/heavy enough to be comfortable and very forgiving without wrinkling at all over the long day. The length is conservative (I'm only 5'2") but not frumpy at all. I paired it with fun black and white striped heels for more of a mod feel. It's the perfect dress for when you want to look great but not worry about your outfit all day! One piece of advice though... I had ordered it in a 0 and a 2. I tried the 2 on first, and when it fit well, I just wore it. The day after the event, I tried on the 0 just to see, and it was even a better fit. I regret not trying on both sizes first!

My favorite dress ever!

Love, love, love this dress! I work for the nonprofit Step Up Women's Network and ordered this for our Inspiration Awards luncheon since our color is orange. The back with the bow is so cute - so plan on wearing your hair up if you have long hair. The pockets make it perfect. I recommend sizing up - it's a narrower fit than it looked in the photos. I paired it with JCrew's Seville Canvas/Satin Wedge in the stripe black/natural color and loved the combo. Plan on doing mod hair/makeup too!

I loved the dress - and both sizes I ordered fit!

I didn't realize the dress was part lace... so a strapless bra is definitely necessary. I loved the 'stripe' look of the dress, but from certain angles it looks all black, so I'd plan on colorful accessories. I loved the sleeve and the fit of the dress - and best of all, it has adorable pockets! It's so comfortable and a great length. It's flattering, but great for occasions that involve big meals as the dress is very forgiving! :) I'd recommend it!

I know others say True to Size, but it was a bit snug on me, perhaps b/c I am a pear. Had to wear the larger size - and even that was close! It was lovely & I received many compliments, but it was a little big on top and snug on bottom. I still recommend though!

The bottom of this dress was tighter than expected - and the material thinner - but still an easy, fab, fun pick. I received compliments on the color all night!

My sis and I love ordering from RTR when we are together on vacation. RTR makes packing for a trip so much easier - and lighter. We just have our dresses sent to our destinations and worry about one less look!

An easy, lightweight dress perfect for summer. Not my favorite RTR dress I've rented, but still fabulous. It's not short, but the top makes it cute. The pockets are a plus! PS - in the photo I uploaded, my sister's dress is from RTR too!
