Perfect something borrowed for my wedding
This was the perfect something borrowed for my wedding day! Some glitz and glam without being over the top... big enough to fit my iPhone, lipstick, lipgloss, powder. And not too 'bridaly' so my bridesmaids were perfectly fine carrying it around for the whole day!

Gorgeous ombre color
I got this dress just to try on. It is true to size, if anything, possibly runs a tiny bit big. I love the flowy fabric and the gorgeous coloring, however, it was just too long for my liking. I am 5'3" and it came to my knee (not nicely above it, but to it) and that just isn't flattering on us short girls. Disappointing because it is so beautiful.

I found the perfect dress for my bachelorette party!
I got this just to try on and I think it may just be THE dress for my bachelorette party! The fit is true to size... M = 6, but be forewarned, it is tight tight tight! Have someone around to help you with the zipper or it will be quite a struggle. This shows off your curves and sucks everything in, and if you have a decent sized chest, this will definitely draw attention to it! I love anything hot pink and this gorgeous color did not disappoint me!

Any dress that gets you into the VIP is a winner!
The fit of this is true to size OR even a bit large... I generally wear a size 6 (which I wore) but it wasn't anywhere near tight. Thick fabric but really pretty take on a little black dress. I think it was a bit longer on me than a lot of the other pictures I have seen (I am 5'3") but still short enough. Overall, very comfortable to wear and I was happy that I rented it!

Cap Sleeve Swirl Mini
Robert Rodriguez Collection
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Comfortable but unique dress for a night out in Vegas!
This dress was VERY figure flattering; thick enough fabric that it smooths you out, and helps to show off your curves. It was true to size (I usually wear a 6, took a medium in this), and very easy to wear. My only complaint is the fabric rubbed a bit under my one arm - but nothing horrible. I would recommend this dress if you are looking at it!

Standing out at my casual birthday party in a little black dress with something different!
Unfortunately the size 6 ended up being available; while the 8 fit me, the 6 would have been better. The fabric is much nicer than I was expecting and the dress flatters curves, plus, you can wear a regular bra! This would be great for so many different types of occasions - sorry I don't have a full length picture! The 8 was a bit longer than I wanted (about knee length) so I used some fashion tape to shorten it. I wore with leopard heels, gold rings and earrings, and a black/gold Chanel bag but this could be accessorized SO many different ways.

N/A... didn't wear this dress! But the RTR staff was very helpfup :)
This was my back-up dress that RTR sent me when the dress I wanted didn't have one of my sizes available. RTR was VERY helpful, however, I just didn't like this dress on me. It was true to size (the 6 fit me perfectly), but the color wasn't as vibrant as I would have liked and I didn't like the cut of the vneck... it crosses your chest in an odd place in my opinion. Maybe that part would look a bit better on someone with a smaller chest.

Night Spice Dress
HALSTON
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"
Bust: 36C
Very disappointed!
I'll start out by saying, EVERY other time I have rented I have LOVED the dress... I am a very true size 6 and this dress did not fit me at ALL. It was way too baggy, but then pinched a bit in certain spots. It should NOT be labeled as a mini because at a curvy 5'4" it hit the midpoint of me knee. This was not at all what I wanted for my birthday party so I ended up not wearing it. Also, the sleeves were a bit too long and I could tell the fabric would be pretty uncomfortable. I LOVED this dress on the website so this was a disappointment but I just wasn't a fan!

This dress truly stood out in Vegas among all of the bandage dresses in Vegas! I received so many compliments and loved how it really expressed my individual style.
I usually wear a US 6, so the UK 10 fit me perfectly (I was worried about it being too long but it wasn't). Very comfortable and the dress itself makes enough of a statement. I fell in love with this dress when I first saw it on RTR and it didn't let me down in person!

Rented this dress for a wedding and it was even better in person - I received SO many compliments! Tight on the bust (I wasn't even able to wear a bra) but in general the fit was very true to size. One thing to note is to me it appeared a bit "pinker" in person than in the photo - which was fine.

This dress is stunning for a curvy figure and you will definitely stand out in a sea of black cocktail dresses (I wore to a fall wedding)! I was uncertain of what size I should order due to my standard size, the size chart and reviews saying it ran small... I generally would get a Medium, but after looking at the size chart it was indicating a Small, yet peoples reviews were making me lean towards a large (mostly because of my boob size). A fit specialist suggested I get a Medium and Small -- good thing I listened to her, I ended up wearing the Small. The Medium was DEFINITELY too big, and when it wasn't tight the dress looked extremely sloppy... when tight it was tailored and beautiful!!! I received many compliments and am happy I ordered it. My only complaint is that the fit kit that I never received would have come in handy to keep a few spots in place (I was fidgeting a lot with the lining).

The compliments all night were NON-STOP... so many girls asked where I got my dress and of course I directed them all to RTR :)
