Heavy but beautiful!
Loved the way these looked but they are definitely heavy so maybe think twice if you’re planning on lots of dancing or a super long day

Amazing color and fit!
I wasn't able to wear a bra with this dress, but that was okay for me (34A) and the fabric was thick enough that it wasn't an issue. I wore 3 inch heels and the dress just grazed the floor. The only problem with this dress was that it had these bizarrely placed hanging straps on the inside of the dress straps and there was no obvious way to secure them such that they wouldn't totally hang out. I used some double sided tape to secure them and they stayed in all night. This dress fit true to size and was really flattering and beautiful. Got a ton of compliments, highly recommend!!

Loved the color and cut
True to size, thinner material than I expected, but it didn't wrinkle easily or cling. Overall a great skirt!

Perfect weight for transitional months
I loved the length and the weight of this coat. It was easy to dress it up or down for so many occasions, and immediately makes you look more put together. Highly recommend!

Great dress but short!
Really pretty dress, structured material gives good lines and is forgiving. Doesn't wrinkle (wore it to a bridal shower and didn't have a single wrinkle after a hour on the train) but is very short. I ended up wearing with opaque tights.

Dark Botanical Dress

Size Worn: S

Loved it, bought it!
True to size, but very fitted in the waist with no stretch. Very deep v neckline, but not inappropriate for smaller busts. Great movement in the skirt and can be worn with tights and boots in cooler weather and sandals in summer.

Floral Miranda Dress

Loved the color!
The color and print of this dress are amazing and the ruffles are really fun without adding too much volume. The fabric is light and flowy, and when you first put the dress on you'll totally be in love; however it quickly turns into a wrinkly mess after sitting for a while. Perfect dress for a party or event where you won't be sitting much. It does run a bit small, but maybe not a whole size. I'm a 4 and wore a 6 and it fit correctly in the waist and hips but was too big in the bust (I'm an A).

Red Printed Lissy Dress

Comfortable bridal shower dress!
This dress was comfortable and I knew I'd be able to sit in it all day without it getting wrinkled. The length was perfect, and it was surprisingly forgiving for a white spandex dress! I wore a light control top thong underneath and had no issue with lines or lumps. I wasn't crazy about how high it came up under my arms and the sleeves which were somewhere between sleeveless and cap sleeve, but I did get a bunch of compliments, and overall was happy with it!

Ivory Desert Oasis Dress
Bailey 44
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 127lbs

A million compliments!
Being able to tie it tightly in the back along with the adjustable straps makes this a sure fit! Even though the lower back (where it zips up) gaped a bit, it was hardly noticeable. I got so many compliments, probably more than I've gotten on any other outfit ever. I think this dress isn't super super flattering from the front due to the horizontal stripes, but it's super sexy from the back and side. I wish I had a better picture to share, but take my word and rent this!

Rainbow Flag Stripe Maxi Dress

Flattering!
Great dress for work. Wore with black tights for a more conservative look, it rides up a little and may be a bit short to wear without.

Pink Ripple Ruche Dress
Cut 25
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4

Great fit
Loved the waistline this dress gave me! Unfortunately the dress I received was a bit worn out and was missing the hook and eye, but was still passable. I was able to wear it with a normal strapless bra.

Vanna Dress

So easy!
This dress definitely has wow factor. The fabric is thick and the ruching hides any little problem spots you may be worried about but at the same time, it does add a bit of volume to your midsection. I didn't have any trouble with it staying up all night and the boning wasn't painful. Even after a night of dancing, the sequins didn't irritate my underarms (one of my big concerns when renting this dress!).

So fast and easy!
The high slit coupled with the cutout (which was larger than I expected) made me feel a little inappropriate during the church ceremony. Received a bunch of compliments and it was comfortable enough, would probably recommend for an evening-only event.

unforgettable dress!
I absolutely LOVED wearing this dress! I went to the RTR showroom on the Thursday before this Saturday night black tie wedding, and I was determined to find the perfect dress. I tried on 4 black dresses first, and was having a really hard time deciding among them- should I go full sequins? curve hugging lace? I wanted the "wow factor" but nothing was feeling truly special. Then I spotted this red dress and once I tried it on, I was sold! I agree with other reviewers that this dress runs a bit large- especially if you are smaller on top. I had tried on the 6 in the showroom and ordered that size on the spot, but then after reading some reviews, I emailed to add the size 4 as my backup. I'm glad that I did as the 4 looked even better than the 6, and had I worn the 6, I probably would have been spending the night pulling it up to cover my strapless bra. Standing out in a sea of black dresses, this dress was form fitting, but the ruching allayed any fears I may have had about my tummy or hips. The high waist on this dress made me look tall and lean and the sweetheart neckline was flattering on my small chest. This dress was easy to sit in (without wrinkling) and was great to dance in. I can't tell you how many compliments I received! Rent this dress!!

Perfect for a Florida beachfront wedding!
This dress was light and easy to wear even on a hot and muggy evening! As an added bonus, the length of the dress and the layers of fabric served as a very chic mosquito net and I was the only girl whose legs made it through the night unscathed! I got a ton of compliments and found the dress to be fairly figure flattering- something I was worried about given the light color and horizontal folds of fabric. The boning in the top of the dress kept it from slipping through hours of dancing; however, the boning was a bit bent out of shape when the dress arrived and though I tried to bend it back, I couldn't get the dress to lay flat against my chest. I'd think this wouldn't be a problem for anyone bigger than an A cup. I'm 5'6" and was able to wear flats with very minimal dragging.

lots of people asked if I had lost weight- oh Herve, you do the ladies right.
As someone who mostly wears black/neutrals, I was pretty nervous about this brightly colored dress. However, as it was my birthday, I figured what better night to stand out in a crowd? I am SO glad I rented this dress, I felt special all night and got tons of compliments. I rented both the small and the medium and while the small fit, I found that I felt less self conscious in the medium. I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath and used some of the fashion tape RTR sent along to tape the back of my bra to the dress so that I didn't have to worry about it showing all night. I wore it with nude pumps and it was perfection!
