Glamorous, comfortable- the Perfect Party Dress!
Rented for a huge NYE party and Loved It!! Beautiful, fun and so comfortable. Full disclosure: BM makes this same pattern in gold sequins which I'd rented last year and loved so much that, after looking through RTR a bit, I went with this version. Can't recommend highly enough for any occasion that you want to SHINE!

Midnight Glamour Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 36A
Sexy and comfortable- hugs in all the right places!
I was a little concerned that this dress might not work for us small chested women, but the fabric has a jersey type of stretch to it which kept it from being too revealing while also being something that would work well for more endowed women. That same stretch made the dress very comfortable and easy to move in and the color was vibrant without being overwhelming. Received several compliments, and my date loved it!

Classic with a modern twist and oh-so comfortable!
This was a fabulous dress for the office which would also be great for a brunch outing. The fit was perfect and flattering and the coloring made it unique. The fabric was sort of that scuba fabric with a bit of stretch (although not so much at the waist seam). My wife actually suggested I buy it she thought I looked so good...will definitely re-rent!

Loved it but oddly tight at the waist
So I LIVED this dress, and it had a ton of stretch that I didn't need every where EXCEPT this one section of the (high) waist which had no give and we simply couldn't get it zipped even though there was room to do so. Was such a disappointment as super cute in every other way!!
Cobalt Strapless Dress
Aijek
Size Worn: 3
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Really loved but a bit too long
LIVED the glamour of this dress and it fit well but the below the knee cut made it feel a bit more matronly than I expected. Would rerent for a formal event but not ideal for a fun night on the town.
Gold Goma Dress
J.Crew
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Super cute and rather short
I loved this dress so much- the fabric and the cut were unique and fun. If only it'd been an inch or two longer! I felt like I was on the edge of flashing my bum and just couldn't wear it. :(
Blue Tokyo Print Dress
Carven
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Really nicely made but short skirt
Rented for a Memorial weekend white party. Was really nice fabric and a great cut EXCEPT for the length. I'm a full booty lady but that booty was flashing! Ended up not wearing- if only it'd been an inch or two longer. :(
Ivory Talisman Dress
FINDERS KEEPERS
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Nice texture, on the short side, stretch to the fabric
Got this to wear to an awards dinner but also was muted enough to wear to work that day. Was worried it's be too short after reading the reviews but it was perfect on my 5'6" frame (any shorter though may have raised eyebrows). I did, however, opt to go with flats so as not to accentuate the length. The black portions of the fabric have a velvet look and feel and the fabric itself had a surprising amount of stretch. I'll note that I'm small chested and this was still well fitted in that area with some stretch left but may be a challenge if you're really well endowed. Overall I liked it and did receive a few compliments.
Floral Navy Ruffle Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
More flattering than expected- sleeves make this stand out among LBDs!
I wore this to work and a networking cocktail reception after. Got a ton of compliments throughout the evening. As others noted, the sleeves are what make the dress- they're a sweater-like textured fabric. Beyond that, it has a true hourglass cut that works the curves in the best way. Would have bought if not so pricey. Highly recommend!
Black Knit Sleeve Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Classic, flattering, comfortable and a perfect fit!
Rented for work- I've become a big fan of the flutter sleeves and the stylish flair they add. This one for perfectly and was flattering in all the best ways. The little cut out on the neckline is also a nice touch and as others have said the fabric has a weight to it that says "quality." Got several compliments and will rent again!
Buffalo Check Dress
Draper James
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Comfortable and stylish
Wasn't sure about this dress at first as it sorta felt like wearing a robe and the fabric has a natural wrinkle to it, but after ironing a bit and adding a flashy necklace, I dug it. The ref and purple-ish colors in the Fant are more vibrant in person, too. I wore to work on Valentines and got several compliments.
Striped Midnight Blue Dress
Tara Jarmon
Size Worn: 38
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Vibrant colors and flattering fit
Wore this to work and got several compliments. It's still winter weather here in NYC and I'll not that the fabric is thin and light so definitely a better summer dress, but with tights and a cardigan it was fine.
Aurora Pleated Midi Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Relaxed and sassy- easy to dress up or down
As other reviews mentioned, there was a slight bulge in the hip area likely due to the slight stiffness of the fabric (which is very thick and has lots of stretch making it very comfortable). Although I tried with a few belts, that accented the hip "bump" so I opted to go without. Dressed it up with a statement necklace and heels for a solid office look.
Scoop Neck Sweater Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"

Sassy and professional!
This dress fit like a glove in a flattering way and the cut of the skirt gave it a flapper effect that was fun and unique. Wore it in court with a gray blazer and felt like a breathe of fresh air in a sea of greys and blacks. Wish I'd had happy hour plans as would have been a great day to night option!
Magenta Day Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Cute but short
Liked this dress but didn't wear it as felt way too short (although the ruffle added a few inches, still felt a bit "naked"). Admittedly I'm not the 20-something I used to be so maybe others would feel more comfortable in it!
Beckett Ruffle Hem Dress
LIKELY
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 32C
Sexy, professional, and so comfortable!
OMG- I loved this dress! Admittedly I was a bit concerned when I realized it had no zippers/is a pull over but it has a ton of stretch and, once on, holds you in all the right places. The mock wrap with ruffle on the front is so flattering as is the cut-out across the top. I wore this to a networking dinner and fundraiser gala and got a ton of compliments both times and felt like a goddess! Highly recommend and will rent again!

Fun outside-the-box work wear
So this is one of those dresses I'd likely not try if not for RTR, but really enjoyed wearing. I'll mention that the armbands run a smidge small so would not size down. The fabric is fun and funky with lots of shine in the gold. Fits loosely (other than the arms) so tres comfy, too.

Stylish and Functional- Loved It!
This is the type of dress that makes me happy to be an RTR woman! I don't know that I would have given it a try it I had to "commit" to buying but once it was on, I looked like both the rockin' professional woman that I am AND a sexy starlit! Wore to work and a networking dinner after and got tons of compliments. Will definitely rent again!

Nice dress but long
As mentioned in other reviews, this dress felt longer than I expected, and although good for work, had me feeling very conservative. That said, it was comfortable, fitted well otherwise, and I am a sucker for pockets.

Stylish, warm & comfy = WIN!
I really loved how basic yet stylish this sweater was, not to mention warm and comfy. I wore it to both work and boozy brunch and got compliments across the board. Would definitely rent again!

Great fabric and color; stems a bit tight
Loved this top but the arm band had little give and was a bit snug. That said: my arms are a bit large so may just be a me issue. Appreciated that it was not as crop style as appeared and worked great with a basic skirt.
Midnight Puff Sleeve Top

Versatile, comfortable, and flattering!
This dress fit like a dream and the pop of color and sparkle in the folds of the skirt gave it a festive (yet subtle) flare- more than what I expected from the online pics. Also very comfortable. Wore to work and got a ton of compliments then out for drinks. Felt tres sexy and will definitely rent again!

Comfy and stylish!
This dress was far more flattering than expected and I loved the pop of shine in the fabric (the dots have a metallic sheen to them). Wore to work but would be great for brunch, etc.
