Perfect Fit!
This dress is amazing and I didn't want to return it. I ordered the 2P & 4P, but the 4P became unavailable last minute. (Shoutout to RTRs incredible customer service for helping me pick out a backup!) I was worried, but was so happy that the 2P fit. It was just a little snug, but the material has some stretch so it didn't look too small on. At 5'2 I wore 3 inch heels and the length was PERFECT. Lots of compliments, would rent again!

Very pretty, but runs small
This dress is beautiful and was perfect for a spring wedding. I got lots of compliments on it. However, it runs a lot smaller than I anticipated, my backup size 4 almost didn't fit. The material has no stretch or give, but it is so soft and much lighter than it looks. I loved how the skirt flares out. It's very twirly but it did catch the wind a few times so be careful when you're outside! I would definitely rent it again (in a larger size) if it wasn't such a memorable dress.

Curvy but comfy
This dress is a really great combination of fashion and comfort. It's cut modestly and is a nice length, but the slit and racerback give it just enough sex appeal. The material is thick and stretchy and hugs the body, but is still very comfortable and easy to move in. I would say it runs true to size, but recommend sizing up if you tend to hover between sizes like I do. I see myself wearing a lot of Elizabeth & James this wedding season!

Amazing earrings, but not for my ears
These ear crawlers are beautiful and I wish I could have worn them, they would have been show stoppers. But my ears crease right where the upper part of these earrings clip, so they pinched the cartilage & hurt from the time I put them on. They're also a little heavy, but that would have been manageable since they're not hanging from the lobe. Absolutely give them a try because they're amazing. But have a backup.

I need these earrings in my life permanently.
These earring are so light you might forget you even have them on. They're elegant, but still just a little edgy. I loved them and really wish I could have kept them. They would go with everything.

Standout Dress
Like others I had to size up in this dress. My regular size fit but it was way too short for the company I was going to be in. But the larger size offered more range of motion in the arms too, which made it more comfortable overall. It's a little scratchy, but not enough to be a deal beaker. I paired it with the Slate & Willow Lena earrings. And it looked beautiful with a pair of rose gold heels. I would definitely consider renting again.

Hello curves! This was my first time renting from RTR but I can't wait for the next opportunity!
I rented this dress for a black tie wedding at the Four Seasons in Washington DC. I'm only 5'2 but saw in the reviews that this dress ran a little short, so I went for it. I wore it with 4 inch heels and I had no trouble at all. I felt almost certain that I was going to wear a 2 in this dress, so I originally ordered that with 4 as my backup size. But about a week before the event I decided to change my backup size to a 0 and it's a good thing I did because that was the size I wore! This dress is lined with a lace overlay, it drapes nicely but the material is heavy. So if it's at all big on you it will hang a little, like the 2 did on me. It didn't look bad, but the 0 was perfection. It hugged all the right places and because of the stretch was still comfortable.
