Flattering and it has pockets!
This was my backup dress for a black tie event, but it looked way more flattering than my original. I'm still working on my post-baby body and this hid my mom pouch perfectly. I haven't felt this good in clothing in a long time. It was comfortable and supportive. I didn't wear a bra with it and wasn't readjusting all night. And the best part is it has pockets! I would honestly consider buying this beauty.

Elegant and flattering
I can't say enough about this dress. I'm a frequent RTR user and this might be my favorite rental, yet! It was actually an overnight backup dress since my first choice didn't work out. And I ended up loving it! The fabric felt luxurious and the black and white is so timeless. The fit would be flattering on any body type. I am 5'5" and I hate high heels so I was relieved when I wasn't tripping over the length.

Not for big hips
While the overall lines of this might be flattering for a pear-shaped girl, there's no way in the world you'll fit into it if you've got any junk in the trunk. The underskirt is very slim. Order up a size at least.

Flawless details
I absolutely loved this dress. It was so flattering and very comfortable. I felt so elegant in this and got a ton of compliments. It ran true to size and I loved that the dress length kept me from stepping on it all night long. The details are gorgeous, and you can really see them well in flash photos, but in person it looked more like all-black.

Cynthia Dress

Feminine and classy
I wore this dress for my 30th birthday party. The celebration happened to be on a boat, so the blue stripes had the perfect nautical feel. The skirt was full and had great movement even though the fabric was pretty heavy. It was fun and flirty, while not being too revealing or flashy. The chest of the dress was tight even though I'm not very busty, so I did wear up a size. I was a little worried about the cap sleeves annoying me during the night, but I didn't even notice they were there. Overall, this was one of my favorite rentals.

This dress was stunning and attention-grabbing, while still being classy.
I rented this as my backup dress for a black tie event on a whim. I love the dress on the model, but with my very curvy body (read, large rear end), I didn't think it would be flattering on me. When I got my dresses, I tried both and was shocked that this actually accentuated all the right curves and it looked better on me than my first choice! The length was absolutely perfect for me. It's a little longer in the back so I stepped on it a couple times while dancing, but no big deal there. The sequins are green, but indoors they looked black, which worked well for the event we were at. It was comfortable and the sequins didn't scratch my arms. My only complaint, and it's a tiny one, is the bottom of the zipper didn't fall quite flat, so it stuck out a bit and looked awkward. I'm sure nobody noticed it except me. But overall this was one of my favorite RTR rentals.

Perfect summer flow
I rented this dress for my engagement photos as a second look. The color and material was a perfect summery look. The skirt flowed beautifully and looked very feminine. The waistline fit perfectly, but the top was extremely loose, on both the back and front. I had to safety pin it shut so I wasn't flashing everyone. I don't normally have that problem with dresses.

Gorgeous color
I rented this dress for my engagement photos. I thought the color would really pop on film, and I was absolutely correct. It looked great in photos and fit like a glove. I wish it had a little more movement, though. The fabric was very stiff and looked a little awkward when sitting down. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing.
