NYE stunner
This beauty arrived new with tags and was perfect for a formal NYE bash. I wore a size M, which as a ready to wear size 8 fit perfectly. A lot to support as there is boning in the bust, but I taped the girls anyway for extra support. It did scratch my under arms and near the neck pretty seriously but I guess that is the nature of the sequined dresses :).

So flattering
I rented this for a corporate black tie function and received many compliments. I will say it’s challenging to get into - the neckline is complicated and I had to take it off and put it back on several times before I got it right. But once in it was very comfortable and looked great. I’m 5’6”, 149 lbs, 34c, hourglass shaped and the 8 fit me perfectly and the length was perfect with 3” heels

Stunning and easy!
This dress is a beautiful color and was so easy to wear. I am a true size 8 and rented a large because the medium was not available. It was slightly big and I suspect the medium might have been a better fit, but overall except for some gapping at the bust I don't think it was noticeable (I stood all night so this helped). Better slightly too large than too small. I got a lot of compliments!

Poor fit
I liked this item on the hanger, but the fit was simply unflattering. It had no structure which might not have been a problem if it was cropped, but it is a full length blazer. Wore it with jeans once or twice, but never for work. This is my second cupcakes and cashmere item that has not worked out.

Comfy and a great color
Happy with this cute sweater dress. Color was great. Sleeves were long and ended up getting a little stretched out during the day. Took off a star due to the stretch factor - suggest sizing down on this one!

Love these Nicole Miller wrap dresses!
Love these Nicole Miller wrap dresses! This is my second Nicole Miller wrap rental. Fit is flattering, length is slightly above the knee but acceptable for work. I did not have an issue with it being too low cut, but I have a small rib cage and can wrap it tightly. Cute with tights and boots or with heels. Would rent again!

All the compliments!
What a great dress for a holiday party! The fabric is thick and stretchy, and that combined with the high slit makes it easy to sit, eat and dance in. The one shoulder is fantastic and on trend and the bow makes it fun and holiday perfect. On the fit - I am 5'6", 144 pounds, athletic and carry my weight in my hips / legs. I think the most important thing on the sizing is your bra band size as that is where the dress fits the tightest. At a 32 band, I could just barely get the built in bra on the size 6 hooked. Once I got it, I was able to get the dress zipped and it felt snug but good. The 8 was slightly easier to get into, but mine had a rip on one of the seams so I'm glad the 6 worked! I wore 2.5" heels and then back of the dress drug just a little, but it was manageable. If I owned it I'd hem it maybe half an inch. So fun!

Flirty and professional, compliments galore
Just absolutely love this dress. The ruffles are great and really make it unique and flirty. Great silhouette, not super form fitting but very flattering. Great with tights or bare legs with heels. Loved it!

Made it work but not for work
Rented for work, but ended up wearing it with jeans out to dinner. It is very small and short - in the medium it fit in the bust but still rode up when I sat down. It is just not very versatile and I would not rent it again

Birthday brunch in style
I rented this dress for my birthday brunch and ended up wearing it out to a 'smart casual' restaurant the night before as well. The color was fantastic and the fabric draped so nicely and felt expensive. I'm 5'6", 144 lbs and a 32D, and I wore the small. It fit quite well, was a little tight in the arms but nothing that bothered me greatly. It was too short for work, hitting me several inches above the knee, but was perfect for a celebration!

Rented this for a 2 week trip to Europe in the fall. I wore this to a conference reception and to several work meetings. Looks great with tights or without. Comfortable and just different enough to garner lots of compliments! I am 5'6", 142 lbs and athletic, and the medium fit me well!

Easy, flirty and so flattering
I rented this for a business trip to Europe in the fall. Ended up wearing it to a conference, work meetings and to an evening reception. I wore it with black tights and booties or pumps each time and got many compliments! At first it felt a little loose in the midsection but actually I preferred it being less form fitting, especially after 2 weeks of eating all the carbs in Greece and Germany. The top hook and eye is hard to fasten - other than that it was perfect! I am 5'6", 142 lbs, athletic build with a 32D chest and rented the 8

Perfect Derby dress!
I rented this for the Kentucky Derby and it did not disappoint! I am 40 and was concerned it would be too young for me but it was perfect for the event. Gorgeous fabric and cute print! It is not subtle that's for sure :-). I am a 32D and I wore a size 8 - it fit well, though I'm not sure I could have gotten into it myself. Very fitted in the rib cage but I had to wear a strapless bra in addition to the built in bra to 'fill out' the cups, which as a D kind of surprised me! It was fantastic, thank you!

Gorgeous dress and so easy to wear!
I'm not sure how you could go wrong with this dress. The neckline is very on tend and flattering and the silhouette is slimming. You can wear a regular strapless bra so no pasties or other such nonsense. The only minor issue I had with fit was that the top was slightly large, while the waist fit perfectly. The only solution to that would have been to pin at the shoulder but I didn't feel this was necessary. Danced all night in 3" heels and the dress was a perfect length. For reference I'm 5'6", about 150 pounds and a 32D. I wear a 6-8 in ready to wear dresses and an 8 in slacks. So many compliments, I wish I could keep it!

THE red dress!
I received this dress as a substitute when my original selection was not available to ship. The fabric is very thick, maybe a thick scuba like material, and it really hugs your curves but not in a way that would show flaws. I did have to fiddle with the neckline a bit to try to get it to hang right, and ended up wearing it off the shoulder. Beware that the top of a strapless bra could be visible from the little peek-a-boo on the right side - you have to mess with the neckline a bit to ensure no issues with that (I am a D and can't really go braless). I am a solid 8 in RTR dresses and this dress felt like it fit appropriately, though a size smaller might have eliminated the fussy neckline issue. I received many compliments on this dress and honestly, I felt great in it. Its not my normal corporate event style but it was fully appropriate for the function.

Cute twist on the LBD
I rented this dress to help me celebrate my big 4-0. It was great! After 2 kids my mid section is not looking perfect, but I found this dress very flattering due to the placement of the sheet panels. This dress was classy and offered good coverage but had a little edge which was fun and made it party appropriate. Heavy fabric took care of lumps and bumps so no spanx necessary! I am 5'6" and about 150 with a 32 Dand I wore a medium - fit perfectly.

Lovely fit and flare! So fun to wear!
Rented for a formal dinner as part of a Kentucky Derby event. Since it was corporate, I wanted to ensure the 'girls' were fully covered and the length was appropriate, but I still wanted the dress to be fun to wear. This dress fit the bill! After having my children I'm a 32DD and I typically wear an 8 / size M in ready to wear dresses. I rented the 8 and 10 in this dress and wore the 8, as the room in the chest was ample. Lots of compliments all night long! Thanks RTR!

Fun and festive and a beautiful fit
I rented this dress to wear to my company's 'customer appreciation' holiday party. It was great! The green sequins were so fun and perfect for the holidays. I got compliments all night. I felt the dress ran true to size, I am typically an 8 and I wore the 8. Since having my second son 9 months ago I am now a 32DD and have a bit of a belly; this dress camoflauged it (though I did wear spanx) nicely. It has already been mentioned but my dress was missing one of the tacks that holds the back drape in place on the left side. Since the right side tack was still intact I could pin the left side, but if both were off it would be tough to know where to pin it....and you do need that tack or else the front drape part kind of fans out awkwardly. The whole process was very smooth. I felt like a million bucks!
