Great dress. Wish I had worn the 6
The dress is stunning. Somehow I made the mistake of wearing the larger size even though I had decided to wear the smaller one. Go figure. My only disappointment was that the weather was terrible. Rain and 44 degrees for an outdoor, wedding. I spent the entire event with my coat on because it was freezing! I would rent this dress again just so I can wear the smaller size. I am small busted and probably would have been self conscious without my coat. The 6 fit more snug in the bust.

Interesting but not enough to wear
Another piece for a photoshoot and this was also disappointing. The color again, was not what I was expecting and the fit swallowed me and was really short on one side so my midriff showed. I did manage to try it on, but was instantly turned off by the loose and unflattering fit.

Beautiful in person, but voluminous sleeves
So I ordered this for a photoshoot and even though I loved the color and the look of the piece, once I put it on, I realized that the sleeves had so much volume that they might overtake my frame and make me look shapeless in the photo. Also the pleats at the neckline got smushed en route and I would've had to pin or try to steam it back in place so it would stand up as it was intended to. I decided not to wear it and not to go through the trouble of seeing if I could manipulate the collar back to its original shape.

If the color had been what I expected, I might have attempted to try this on.
I read in previous reviews that several renters actually wore it backward and I was excited to try it forward and backward. The color disappointed as soon as I took it out of the bag. I was expecting a bit more dramatic red. One renter mentioned that the neck piece was difficult to get on and uncomfortable. After seeing the color, and then looking at the neckpiece, I realized I was going to have to struggle to get it on and I knew I wouldn't wear it so I just hung it back in the bag....

These pants fit well and were very tailored. Overall they were great but just ordinary.
Just okay, but better than the pants I already owned.

Effortless Casual Elegance
I rented this for a luncheon gathering at the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay. It's on the ocean and the weather can be hit or miss. I wanted to be comfortable, classy and fashionable. This jumper fit the bill. The weather was overcast, so I paired it with a lightweight navy and metallic thread short cardigan (not pictured). The contrast stitching of the garment gave it an interesting appeal. I received lots of compliments. I loved the wrap waist. I don't want to send it back! The one drawback to this was the back zip and hook made it challenging to use the restroom. Luckily, I was with good friends (haha). I ordered a 6R and a 4R and the 6R was a little loose in the bust. The 4R fit perfectly even though I had gained a little weight in my hips. I'd recommend this piece. Wear a racer back bra.

Nice but not for me
I did not wear this dress. I was overly confident that I could be comfortable for several hours in a strapless bra with this dress and when I received it and the backup I didn't even try them on. I needed a white dress for an " island spa resort experience 50th birthday". In the end I opted for a flowy sheer top over a sexy jumpsuit. My first choice from RTR was a Halston Heritage slit leg jumpsuit but it was booked all month. This dress was pretty and would look great on someone with a bigger bust than mine who can comfortably exist in a strapless dress.

Great Little White Dress
I rented this to wear to a "spa experience" 50th bday party of a friend. Attire was to be resort evening attire in white, peach or tan. There was island music and food, painting, chair massages, dancing around the pool and specialty drinks The crotchet neckline attracted me to this dress. The dress fit great except for the bust area. I am quite small chested and would have had to wear a strapless bra in order to fill out the top. While the dress fit much better with a"super padded strapless bra", I ended up not wearing it and opted for something more flowy over a sexy jumpsuit instead. I wanted to rent the Halston white slit leg jumpsuit for RTR but it was booked the entire month! My daughter said the dress looked more like something for a semi-formal island wedding not resort evening. I didn't think I'd be comfy with the strapless bra. I would rent the dress again for some other event. In the end, it would have been a little out of place at this party.

Magnificent Sparkle
I wore this to a formal work event. I was the sparkliest one there. Loved the fit. Loved the lowcut back. I am sorry no pics, but I put a gold foil body tattoo on my back to show through the low back. It was quite a hit! This is the second time I rented this dress. The first time it was a back up for a different style and I chose to wear the other style. This time, I ordered two sizes of this dress and I am glad I got the chance to wear it. It was comfy and the S fit me better in the chest area than the M. Easy, peasy and quite a conversation starter.

Navy is the new BLACK
I absolutely loved this dress! I felt like a starlette. It was simple, easy to wear and comfortable and the lace, neckline and the bustle in the back elevated it to the stratosphere! I would definitely rent this dress again and I definitely stood out from the crowd.

Stunning Earrings!
These were suggested to be worn with the dress I rented and I was really impressed with how they look when I took them out of the package. They were not too heavy and I wore them comfortably all evening. I must say, I wouldn't have minded keeping them. They were stunning and I got lots of compliments on them all night.

Champagne Soiree-Worthy
I rented this dress to wear to an evening soiree featuring champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, petit fors and dancing. The guest's attire ran the gamut from extremely formal full length gowns to day dresses as the event was part of a 3-day workshop. My dress caught everyone's attention as soon as I walked in the room. The gold lace on the upper part of the dress is much richer in person than the website shows. The bottom of the dress is black lace, but it has a little gunmetal sheen that draws the eye. The fit of the size 6 was much better than the 8. It was just a hair snug in the hips, but didn't look funny,nor did I have trouble moving or sitting. The backup size 8 was ill-fitting in the bust and the lining at the neckline flipped over so you could see it. Not a good look at all. Overall it was a great dress, The ribbon below the bust is a little snug, with no give, so if you've got a wide ribcage, you might not do well with the dress or may need a larger size.

Very Elegant and Comfortable
Sorry no pic. I was pleasantly surprised by this dress. It fit well, but the fit is unstructured. I discovered that it had two side pockets. (I love pockets). Lightweight material and comfortable. I am not sure I would rent again, but I felt I looked sophisticated and beautiful while wearing. My hips are about 40" and I'm a size 6. The dress fit slightly snug in the hips, but it was not too tight. I could sit and move well.

Rented this dress for my daughter for a daytime wedding. She said she was the best dressed guest.
Rented for my daughter: 18 years old, 5'4", 155lbs., 36C, usually wears a 12. When she took it out, my daughter said she didn't want to send it back. She loved it. The issues came upon deciding which size to wear. The 12 fit more like a 10 (shorter and better fitting)and the 10 fit more like a 12 (longer, bigger throughout the chest and waist). It was quite odd. She wore the 12, but even so, the better-fitting 12 was a little large in the waist, so we cinched it up and pinned it with a simple gold pin. She finished the look with a RTR bracelet and simple nude pumps. She looked beautiful and sophisticated.

My daughter thought at firsit was too dressy for a day wedding, but once on, she changed her mind.
The bracelet is beautifully brilliant and sparkly. Each section is secured to the next by clear elastic, so it's easy to get on and off and comfortable to wear.

Great dress in theory
I should have listened to the previous reviews. The scuba material made the dress ride up as you walked and I wasn't comfortable, so I chose not to wear it. The print was gorgeous though. It was a disappointment.

I rented these to wear with a dress that I chose not to wear, so nonetheless,, I didn't wear these beauties. They would have been stunning with the outfit, but they were not right for the dress I ended up wearing.

Beautiful Dress but...
I loved the color and lace of this dress, but the shoulders were tight and I didn't feel like I would have been comfortable dancing in it, so I chose not to wear it. Also, it was a little shorter than I expected. Another disappointment, but I won't give up on RTR.

One of a Kind....Like a Dream!
I rented this dress for my daughter, 17, for her senior prom. 5'4", 150 lbs, 36C, curvy figure. She picked out the dress and I must say it looks much better on a real person than on the model. We ordered it based on the photos of REAL PEOPLE wearing it. The dress is a pale gray-green color. The sash was a gray satin. The lace is very delicate. The dress we ordered was 12L, but really should have gotten a 12R. The 12L fit perfectly with 4" heels, but my daughter's date was short and she ended up wearing a little shorter heel which made the dress a little too long. The shoulder area was a little large also, so we ended up having a seamstress lightly tack it to make the fit better. WE added a large brooch at the waist for a little extra bling. In a sea of chiffon dresses, my daughter definitely stood out. She looked elegant, sophisticated and like "heaven on earth".

Big Bling! Little Ca-ching!
I rented these earrings for my daughter to wear to her prom with the Theia Heaven on Earth dress at the suggestion of the Style tips. They were gorgeous in person. Not too heavy and really had sparkle. They looked much more expensive than the $5 rental fee implied. My daughter doesn't generally like dangle earrings, but she thought these were gorgeous.

Nice chandelier earrings! Didn't wear though.
Nice colors. Silver tone accents didn't go with the gold toned accents of the necklace I also rented and even if they matched better, they would have been too much together. Loved them. Wished I had a chance to wear them while I had them, but alas, I did not.

Dress for 17 year old graduation honoree.
Rented this dress for MY DAUGHTER (17 years old, 5'4'', hourglass, 150lbs) , who was being honored as a graduating senior. After talking with a stylist, we ordered a size 10. My daughter usually wears size 12. The dress fit mostly, but was a little loose in the bust and waist. My daughter thought it was a little dark, so she punched it up with a yellow grossgrain ribbon at the waist and yellow pumps. I thought that added just the right amount of "youth" and my daughter's personality to the outfit. We rented the RTR pearl and rhinestone necklace (shown with the dress) that gave the look an air of sophistication and as my daughter said, the necklace looked antique. Overall, she was happy and we both received a lot of compliments. (I rented a David Meister lace dress and RTR statement necklace as well.) Two happy customers and cheerleaders for RTR!

Sophisticated perfection. Lots of compliments! Great experience with RTR!
I probably could have worn the backup size 4 but the 6 still hugged curves and was comfy to move in. Lots of compliments received. I will definitely rent from RTR again. I paired the dress with a RTR statement necklace and also got tons of oohs and ahhs. The color is very vibrant. Perfect length and very comfortable to wear. The lace is gorgeous. I wore a Victoria's Secret Bombshell bra to help fill out the bust (I'm a 32 C) and used a bra-strap clip to make it a racerback so the straps did not show. I paired the dress with neutral pumps as it was a daytime event.
