Great Dress for a Great Event!
The dresses arrived on time and the tulle a little flat due to shipping. A quick fluff restored them to their crinolined glory, however. I probably could have worn the six but the eight fit so very comfortably, allowed me wear normal undergarments and was a major hoot to dance in. I was quite sad to send it back and would rent it again (or one of its sister dresses in other colors) in a hot minute.

Great 20's Feel!
Wore this dress for a Great Gastby-themed charity event. The sparkle and semi-architectual design was perfect, and the dress itself, while a little form-fitting in the hips and booty (not that that's a bad thing!), was overwhelmingly comfortable. A little spanx and all was well! Many event attendants had spent hours and $$$$$ trying to find something appropriately 20's and were flabbergasted to know I'd found a perfect outfit in less than 10 minutes and for less than $50 - I think I may have converted more than one person to RTR that night!

Orange and fantastic!
Rented this dress for a charity fundraiser at the Indianapolis Zoo. The theme was "Rock the Orange" in celebration of the new International Orangutan Center, so this dress was optimal for the occasion. Dress arrived early, fit great, and was super comfy. The zipper was a little tight, so needed assistance to get it zipped up, but once on, it felt great. I am often a bit reticent about strapless gowns and dresses as I always feel like I'm pulling them up to keep them in place, but this one moved very little and kept the girls in place, no bra needed. I was a little sad to pack this dress up as I enjoyed it very much - I'd rent it again in a heartbeat!!

Statement earrings without the statement weight!
I ordered these earrings in a whim to go with a dress for a charity fundraiser at the Indianapolis Zoo. I fully intended to wear my hair up to highlight the earrings, but had a disagreement with my curling iron, resulting in a down hairstyle. No worries, though, the earrings still stood out! I was a bit apprehensive when I first put them on that they'd be heavy on my ears by the end of the night. Not at all - I nearly forgot I was wearing them, they didn't get tangled in my hair and they looked great!!

Didn't Quite Fit - Thank Goodness!
I didn't end up wearing this dress, but it was quite pretty on the hanger. When on, it was a bit long for my 5' 1/2" frame and tight in the bust. My back up dress, however was a major hit. This is why is is so great that RTR makes it easy to get back up sizes and dresses!

Nothing but compliments!
When I put in my RTR order for a New Year's dress in late November, my first choice was a long blue lace-backed dress; this red number was my back up. As NYE grew closer, I began to regret that decision, as this dress looked so much more fun. When the dresses arrived, I tried on the red and loved it immediately. It hugged the right curves in the right way, required minimal constricting undergarments, as was really, really comfortable overall. I'm very short, so the dress pooled a bit at the bottom, but that was easily remedied with a pair of 5 1/2" sparkly heels. Additionally, I took the fact that the other dress didn't fit as a cosmic sign. At the party, I received compliment after compliment on this dress. One of my biggest peeves when it comes to formal wear is that dresses often look and feel great at the beginning of the evening, but grow uncomfortable and wilt as the event progresses. Even after seven hours of wear (we are a party hearty bunch), it still looked smoking hot and was almost as comfortable as my favorite pajama pants (the pajama pants set a high bar)! I'd rent it again in a minute!

A failed rental
Rented this dress and a back up for a New Year's Party, shipping SNAFU meant that I knew where the dress was located (USPS distribution wearhouse less than a mile from my home - I could have walked there and when talking to the post office personnel, offered to do so), but that it wouldn't get to me until the 4th of January at the earliest. Once I found a live being at RTR, she took care of everything, refunding my rental money and intercepting the shipment it so that I wouldn't even have to worry about the return. I hope my next rental experience is more successful, but RTR staff was very helpful.
