Perfect fit and color
With so many dress choices on RTR, I don't think I would ever rent the same dress twice. BUT, I would this dress. The quality and styling are fantastic!! I wore it to my step daughters rehearsal dinner, and it was perfect. I paired it with a nude shoes and simple studs earrings and then changed into long earrings and leopard shoes for the evening. Each look was great! You can wear it with a traditional bra and no spanks necessary. The waist is just below your breasts and creates a great shape. The neckline is low but not uncomfortable or too revealing. I could recommend this dress for a wedding, work event or dinner and drinks. Love love love!

Darker cobalt color in person.
I have wanted to rent this dress for quite a while, and it always seems to be booked. For good reason, once you squeeze into it, it looks amazing! Note, I received notice that the medium was damaged by a previous renter and no longer available. I am between a 4-6, and I could fit into the S. The dress is a darker cobalt in color and needs simple jewelry. I did not end up wearing this dress, but I would rent it for a different event.

Not as good as I hoped.
I had such high hopes for this dress! I looked at all the reviews; I scoured every photo and in every color. The back is very unique and the navy overlay on taupe is a great color combination. But, the dress is starting to look worn. It is much too long (below the knee at a very odd place. I'm 5'6") I did not find you could wear a strapless bra and recommend a nubra. I have a straight and narrow body, and did not find the silhouette of the dress attractive. I wore my backup dress.

Classy in Cobalt
This dress is BEAUTIFUL in person and in pictures. As stepmother of the bride, I needed a dress that was conservative but still fit my bright personality. The long sleeves and above the knee length were perfect. The lace has no stretch in the sleeves, but fit perfectly. The back is all lace; you will need a nubra. The cup area fit perfect (I am a size C). The material skims over the stomach, and the cut outs on the side define a straight and narrow body. I wore my hair in an updo, black strappy heels and simple earrings. Thank you RTR!

Vibrant fit and flare dress.
We were rushing out the door for a 4:30pm wedding when the zipper of the size 6 burst. Thank goodness for backup sizes! I ended up wearing the size 4 which was fine. I did find the straps are a bit far apart on the back, so a strapless bra worked better. This is a great dress with pockets, a full skirt and a tight bodice. It was perfect for an afternoon wedding that lasted into the night. Photos are great. Fun dress. Great for an hourglass figure or to hide a little stomach pooch.

Not a good look...
I thought a simple wrap dress would be great for a 4:30pm outdoor wedding, but not this dress. It is a silk dress and high quality material, but it was just blah. I am a size six, but in the picture you can see how unflattering the dress is on me. I found the stitch to hook the chest, but you do have to look for it. The waist is a bit high and tight, but it is not an empire dress. Maybe you could wear this dress to church. I am glad I do not own.

The perfect Greenbrier dress!
I rented this for a special evening at The Greenbrier Resort in Lewisburg, West Virginia. My boyfriend picked out the style, and I was not certain it would be flattering. Well, I was wrong! This dress is a quality soft cotton material. I ordered both the 4 and 6, and I wore the 6. It is true to size. I wore a bra that crossed in the back and did have a bit of an issue with it sticking out on the sides. No need for spanx. The dress hit me right above the knee and had a bit of swing and volume due to an underlay of tulle. I paired it with a bronze shoe, although you could also use something in the gold family, or go bold with pink, orange or turquoise. And it looks great in pictures (enough for 19 comments and 51 likes on Facebook :) Thanks RTR.

I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty.
I rented this dress for my daughter's high school prom. She stood out among the rhinestones and bows of the other prom dresses. The fabric was stretchy and comfortable for a night of dancing. And not having to worry about stepping on it (or rips or tears or lost sparkles) was a huge bonus on a stressful night. At 5'5" the large dress was perfect with a pair of 3 inch heels. She normally wears a 8-10 dress size and has a 36D chest. The color is a darker gold and perfect with a pair of black or nude heels.

Looks great on so many!
This was my second option for a local formal event. What an excellent style! I dress fit perfect on my 44 year old body. Tucked in at the right places and enhanced others. Then, my 18 year old daughter tried it on. WOW. It was super flattering on her also! A great color for blondes or brunettes. This is truly an amazing dress.

Great dress!!
This is a great dress. I wore it for a local formal fundraising event. It is a quality dress made with a heavier fabric, therefore it flows well over any bodily imperfections. The back features an elegant swag that is lovely. I am 5'5" and wore 2.5" heels. The 6L hit right above my toes and was perfect for dancing and walking.
