Perfectly sexy yet modest
This dress is a showstopper. I wore them for our family photos this year (it photographs AMAZINGLY). The only 2 downsides— there is no stretch at all and you 100% cannot wear a bra. Other than that, I loved everything about it. I opted to wear the XS which is my normal size.

Showstopper
Another RTR success!! I received so many compliments about this dress and its details (the bow, the pockets, the color). I decided to size up (usual size is 4 but wore the 6) as the chest area was tight is my normal size since this fabric definitely does not stretch. The 6 was perfect for being 17 weeks pregnant. I also wore a strapless bra. Recommend this dress!

Classic lace for work awards night
I wanted to love this dress but it was just ok. I wouldve preferred the size 6--it wasnt available when I booked my rental. The 4 (which I ended up wearing) was a little tight in chest, arms, and the armpits were funny. However, the fabic was lovely and the wrist detail was delicate. Not my favorite rental.

Birthday party perfection
I've had my eye on this dress for at least a year and was waiting for the perfect event; I ended up renting it for my birthday party! I love the colors. I love the fit. I received so many compliments. I usually wear a 4 but it was really tight in my hips so I ended up wearing the 6. I highly recommend this dress!!

One of my all time favorite rentals
This dress made me feel so beautiful. I received so many compliments about the color and fit. The sleeves were delicate and the length was just right. It fit true to size. Only suggestion would be to wear a strapless bra. I wore a nude bra and you could see the straps-- but I think I worried about it and no one noticed.

Beautiful gown for a black tie
I absolutely loved this dress. I opted to wear the 6P over the 4P (my usual size) because it gave me a little more room. The 4P fit but was a little tighter than I felt comfortable with. The fabric was thick and looked expensive. The gold lace on the back was a little itchy but not enough to stop me from wearing the dress. The length was perfect too (5'2" with about 3 inch heels. I didn't have to worry about tripping on the bottom of the dress). Would definitely recommend!

Another RTR stunner
This dress was one of my favorite rentals to date. The skirt had volume, the pockets were spot on and the sequins made it pop. I was worried the sequins would be itchy but they weren't at all. I followed other review recommendations to size up. I usually wear a 4 but it was a little snug-- the 6 was perfect. I tried it with a regular bra but ended up wearing chicken cutlets. I received so many compliments. Highly recommended.

Stunning POP of color
This wasn't the original dress I had ordered but a replacement offered when the one I wanted became unavailable. I actually think I ended up loving this one MORE!! The color is vibrant- great for a summer event. It fit like a glove-- I wore a 4 which fit true to size. One thing to keep in mind is that you can't wear a regular bra because the straps stick out. I wore a racer back one instead and it was perfect. I would definitely recommend this dress!!

Classy work dress
I wore this for an awards ceremony at work and it was perfect for the event. I felt like the top was a little tighter than I would've preferred but not unwearable. Also, the material is very stretchy.

Dazzling eye catching red lace
This dress fit perfectly--True to size. The bright red color was eye catching and the style was a little different than other lace dresses I've worn before. The lace wasn't itchy either. I highly recommend this dress.

Elegant, show stopping gown perfect for black tie affair
This dress was absolutely perfect--It fit like a glove. The fabric is a little thicker but not enough to be hot. As a short person, I appreciated the high low hemline (although the front was still longer than I thought it would be). I received many compliments and felt very fancy/beautiful.

Perfect LBD
It was absolutely perfect--I need to own it. I actually received this one after an issue with my original order, and I'm so glad the problem happened so I could wear THIS dress. It fit perfect- the length, the waist, the chest. I wore it for a bachelorette party- but I would even wear it for a work event in the future.

Radiant and eye catch colors!
My only complaint about this dress was that the lining was a little tight around my bum (in the size 4 that I wore-- the 6 was too big). But everyone told me it wasn't noticeable though. The color is so bright and different. I received so many compliments and definitely stood out. I would wear this dress again in a heartbeat.

Bright and flirty
This dress had so many great things about it. The bright colors, full skirt, POCKETS!!! I received so many compliments on this dress. My only complaint was that the neckline was a little bunchy. I kept having to play with the straps so it didn't look like I was wearing a kitchen apron.

This was my first time using RTR and it was a HUGE success!!!!
I got both a 2 and 4 (since I'm typically between those sizes) and the 2 fit perfectly. The fabric was a little different than I expected and ended up being extremely comfortable. The color is vibrant--a true hot pink. I received SO many compliments. I would definitely recommend this dress and RTR!
