An effortless dress. The dress is very much a look on its own so it requires very little accessorizing. Very comfy, too. Just zip it up and go!

Sooooo glad I sized down on this one. I usually rent a 2 and a 4; went with a 0 and 2 and ended up in the size 0! Very comfortable dress, didn't even need a bra. Beautiful fall colors made it perfect for an early November gala.

From the color combo to the intricate lattice detailing, this dress is 100% unique and impeccably done. I rented this for my birthday date night w/ my husband, and got compliments from complete strangers everywhere we went. It is very snug up top, particularly in the sleeve area (lifting my arms was a bit challenging). But after about 20 minutes of settling in, the dress felt pretty comfy. Definitely size up for your back up size.

Beautiful print and a stunning backless design makes this one of my all-time fave rentals. I wore it for a Valentine's Day date with the husband and got quite a few compliments from other ladies out that evening. The fabric is thick enough that you can probably get away with no bra/nu-bra (if you're on the smaller side like me). I could have probably worn a 2, but the 4 was extremely comfy; I could eat and drink all night and not worry about how the dress fit or looked. Because it was a freezing February night, I paired this with black tights and patent leather black heels--it looked great. I also paired it with a red lip, which i though really made the print pop. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

The back is stunning in person, and the material is high quality. Definitely go one size down. The 2 (my usual size) was a smidge too big; the 0 was a smidge too small. I opted for the 2...comfort first!

Wore this for a birthday date night with the hubby and felt like a rockstar. The pattern is stunning and so different--you will be the most unique one in the room. I also loved how comfortable it was--oh-so-roomy and the perfect length (not too long, not too short). I also loved how easy it was to accessorize--the pattern and sequins are so intense, I only needed a pair of sparkly gold hoops to finish the look.

Totally chic and unique--the open back is just as interesting and beautiful on as the asymmetrical hemline. It runs very tight and small, but once you're zipped in, it does breathe with your body. But order a larger back-up size to be safe. A thank-you note to RTR for their service: my dress arrived with some exposed boning/underwire that poked me painfully in the back. RTR sent me a new option directly to my hotel just in time for my friend's wedding. Unfortunately, the substitute dress wasn't very flattering, so I opted to stick with my original dress (with some foam padding placed over the boning for comfort). But I really appreciate the AMAZING service!

I wore this dress to an afternoon bat mitzvah. I liked it because the overall design was simple enough for a dressy afternoon party, but the peekaboo leg and sparkle made it stand out in a crowded room. I typically wear a small, but in this case I ended up with the XS; the small was a little too baggy. Also, normally I'm not terribly comfortable with showing off my legs, but with a little self tanner, I was more than OK with this dress. (There was still plenty of coverage, unless you're trying to pull an Angelina Jolie.) Long story short, I felt awesome in this dress and I got a ton of compliments. I wish I could have kept it. :)

I rented this for a Sunday luncheon. Wore it with black tights and a chunky black glass-bead necklace (and red lips for an extra punch). I got so many compliments. And best of all, it was soft and not too tight (i.e., I could go to town at lunch and not feel uncomfortable). I'm typically either a size 2 or 4, but in this instance I needed something in between. The 2 was a little tight, the 4 was a little big. I'd recommend ordering down one size for your back-up.
