Will rent this one again!
I love this dress more than any dress I've rented from RTR! I love the heavy, yet non bulky, fabric, the fit is fantastic. It's sexy, but also really super cool and unique. You can dress it up or dress it down. Not one negative thing to say. It's amazing!

Perfect choice for my 40th birthday celebration!
Perfect mix of flirty, but sophisticated, this dress wears like a dream. It runs a size small IMO, as I usually wear a 0, but the 2 fit perfectly. The color is more rust than red, which was a surprise, but I'm an auburn so it worked out great. It was so comfortable to wear, nice heavy weight, and no tugging on it all night. My only complaint (besides having to return it!) is that the zipper is terrible. I was careful not to get the textured fabric caught in it, but despite that, it took both my husband and I wrestling with it to get it up and down. I predict there will be some broken zipper accidents with this style, which is a shame. Definitely attach both hook and eyes first and then just try to be patient to coax that sucker up. :)

Loved this dress! Got lots of compliments!
Pros: Made very well - all the navy is fully lined and the mesh is a nice thick mesh. I was afraid of it looking cheap and it definitely did not. Love the mix of navy and black because the navy is unexpected, yet the black makes accessorizing easy. Super flattering cut that made me look tall, which I love. Cons: Fit like a snug glove over all, but was a little tighter in the shoulders than I would have liked and not easy to lift my arms. The 4 was a tad large in the hips, so I decided to go with the 2 instead of wearing the next size up. It rode up a little and I had to make sure it was pulled all the way down after sitting. In my pic, I forgot to do so and you can tell it is bunched up a little. The other downside was that I wanted to wear my spanx but they are high waisted and they came up above the mesh. Luckily they are nude and so I pulled them up under my breasts and they just looked like skin under the dress. This made bathroom trips kind of tricky, but I figured it out. If you are planning on wearing black spanx, the mesh could be an issue if high waisted. All in all though, great rental and as usual RTR was awesome.

Showstopper of a party dress!
I rented this for a party that called for cocktail attire. I got compliments all night on this dress. It is unbelievably flattering and fun to wear (especially dance in!) The pros: nice comfortable fabric, very well constructed. This dress looks and feels expensive, even down to the lining. I loved that I could wear a regular bra and didn't have to worry about straps showing. The back is open, but because of the black center strip, the dress doesn't shift while you wear it. I also have a short torso and the back did not gap at all for me like it did for a previous renter. The fabric laid down flat and nicely. The cons: THE ZIPPER! As mentioned in a few other reviews, I had to wrestle with this zipper. Not because the dress was too small or the zipper faulty, but because it has to go up over a waist seam and it's hard to get the right torque, with it being a side zipper. I was able to finally get it up by threading a paperclip through the zipper tab hole. Once the zipper was up, no problems, and it came off easily enough. Also, this dress is very fitted in the bodice and waist. My waist is about 26.5" and I would not have been very comfortable in this dress if I was any bigger than that. I am also very small busted (I'm a 30C or a 32B - about 33.5 inches around) and had I been chestier, this dress would have been tight. If you are usually a size two, but larger than a B cup or have a waist larger than 26 or so inches, I would suggest going up to the four. One last thing: I loved the shorter part of the skirt, but it is short. I have long legs for my height and it was well above my fingertips. I wore a black shaper brief under the dress for modesty. The fabric is heavy, so it doesn't fly up when you walk, but if you plan to dance, plan accordingly. :) Feel free to ask me if you have any more questions!

Sexy LBD without the expected B! Love this dress!!
I rented this dress from the Las Vegas boutique for a fundraiser. It fit like a glove and it was so flattering. I normally wear a 2, but Versace runs small, so the 42 fit perfectly. It is like the perfect LBD without being boring B. It's sexy without showing too much skin. It was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments. I was crushed to send it back. I love, love, love this dress!

GORGEOUS!!!! I LOVE THIS BAG!!
Out of everything I rented for this event, this was the hardest thing to return. This bag is stunning!! It is the darkest richest green so it almost looks black. The gold clasp and frame is a brushed gold so it looks so rich. The hair is embossed with this cool wood grain texture. It has a chain, but I didn't use it so I am not sure where the bag hits with the chain. I was able to fit my phone, a pack of gum, lipstick and liner and a powder compact, so it's roomy without looking like a larger bag. I cannot say enough things about this bag - it is truly amazing!

Beautiful earrings!
These earrings are stunning. Not too heavy. The product photo does a good job showing their size. I did expect them to be a bit more of a vibrant green and they are more of a tealish muted green. They went great with my bag (the DVF forest green clutch) but because I have a bob, they got lost in my hair. I don't have any photos where they show. I should have done more a longer drop. They are still stunning though!

Awesome dress. Comfortable and fun.
I rented this for a black and white themed birthday party. It was made very well and comfortable (a bit heavy, which is to be expected with sequins). I got a ton of compliments! Great rental!

Sexy and Fun!
I rented this as a back up for a formal affair and went with the other choice because this was a little too casual. I would wear this in a heartbeat to a party or special occasion. It is on the shorter side. I am 5'5" (although my legs are on the longer side) and it showed my spanx peeking out when I tried it on. But, it's flattering and a beautiful dress and I will keep it on my list for future occasions!

Sexy, slinky, knock out dress.
This dress is unlike what I usually wear and that is exactly why I decided to rent it. Time for something new! It runs large. I usually wear a 2 or 4 and the 0 fit great. I am small busted and short torsoed so I think that helped with it fitting. I was able to wear a bra. I wore a nude plunge bra and used a low back waist converter and it worked perfectly! I also employed the use of lots of double stick tape. The sequins are quality and stunning. I was surprised to see that not a one was missing from my dress. The ones near the hem were bent, but I expected that from a rental and it kind of gave the dress a cool 3D pattern at the bottom. I spent some time the night before turning them all into one direction and then gave up when I realized that they would flip with moving and sitting and I think that is part of the charm. I got a lot of compliments and felt like a million bucks. I was (as was my husband) so sad to return it this morning!

This dress is SO CHIC
This dress came as a back up for a formal affair after the back up size of my first choice became unavailable. I went with my first choice because it fit perfectly in the one size I was sent, but this dress will stay on my list for future rentals. I think the fit is great - although I could have used a 2 and it's so unique. It needs an impressive necklace as the front comes up so high, I felt it needed something to break up all the fabric.
