PERFECT for the event
Usually I am scared of sequins because they can be scratchy and annoying but this dress was just perfect. It fit great, was comfortable to sit in or dance in and the color is so unexpected. Even found gloves the exact color. We went to a Period Themed Burlesque show and were dressed 'just right". We had so much fun playing "dress up" for this party. The RTR stylists helped me choose the right outfit for the time and made sure it arrived on time. Fit is true to size but be careful for large busts as it is low cut. TOTALLY comfortable.. I'd rent it again in a minute. GREAT value on this one.

PERFECTION...Perfect style, perfect color, perfect fit
Wore this to "son's" college graduation ceremony and dinner following. It was absolutely one of the best dresses I have ever worn! I got a ton of complements and felt I looked my best. Important when you know you are going to be photographed a lot. The length was really nice (age and occasion appropriate), the neckline was flattering and not too low and the color really popped in a sea of BLACK AND YELLOW. I'd rent this one again in a heartbeat. It was very comfortable and easy to just put on and wear PLUS it has pockets... always a bonus.

Complements galore - 100th Anniversary Celebration for my elementary school
Loved the style, the fit and the length. Received a ton of compliments and felt confident in this dress. Love that it has pockets. Feels comfortable and fits to complement my body type without being tight or restrictive. Not sure why the blue lining hung below the lace over lace but it looked great. Can easily be dressed up or down with accessories and shoes.

Rehearsal Dinner Fun - A LBD that was comfortable and I could style to suit "me". SCORE!!!
The length was perfect for me. At 55, I don't need my but cheeks to match the hem line but I don't like dresses that a droll and unflattering to the legs...This was perfect. It was plain enough to accessorize to suit my style and yet decorative enough to stand on its own. The fabric was perfect. Yes, it is black but it has great texture and doesn't make you feel like you are dressed for a funeral. It is the kind of dress that 10 people in your party could wear it and they would all make it look different. The bodice is fitted, and waist is snug but it flares in the skirt and will likely flatter most body types.

Starting a New Year in a dress that made me feel amazing and perfectly dressed for the Party
Loved the color and details. The length was good for my 5'5" It accented my legs without being uncomfortably short for a 55 y o. It was a NYE masquerade party and I felt confident and put "together". I did struggle with the zipper. It seemed to be worn out at the waist. I was a little nervous it would separate during the night. It held together. I couldn't even get the zipper down to the waist on the alternate size so we had to make this work. It is very fitted through the body but the skirt is very "poufy"... not particularly slenderizing on the bottom but it moves nicely. It is a plus that it is lined so you don't need a slip. I wore dark stockings and dark blue suede 4" heels. The fabric was in great shape and felt comfortable. I would recommend it again but RTR needs to check zippers more carefully before shipping out. It would have been bad if I had needed to wear the alternate size.

Perfect dress for Black Tie & Boots Fund Raiser. Added Crinoline for extra volume & Western Flair.
Loved the dress. Perfect with Boots for this event. Beautiful without for any event. Heavy Brocaded fabric has lots of body. VERY fitted top. The Corset inside the top really makes it fit like a dream but it was impossible for me to dress by myself. I had to get help getting in and out of it. Glad I rented it as it was so spectacular I doubt I'd have an opportunity to wear it again. Got lots of compliments throughout the evening. I carried a pink purse and an off white shawl/wrap. It was perfect option for this affair.

LOVE THIS DRESS! Best dress ever. Really flattering and comfortable. Would wear it again.
This dress has it all!! It is a great color and style. The fit is perfect and it is really comfortable to wear. OH and it has hidden pockets!! It even has little snaps in the straps to keep your normal bra straps from showing. It is a very flattering style especially if you need some camouflage on your lower side...either too much or not enough. I am in my 50's so the length is flattering for your legs and not so short that you don't feel it is age appropriate. I wore it to a baby shower with a "hot pink" theme. The neckline is nice and the back is interesting. I got lots of compliments. I would totally wear it again and recommend it to most anyone.

PERFECT Dress. Comfortable and flattering.
I rented this for an evening June wedding near the beach. It was comfortable and flowing. A little tricky if there is lots of dancing since it was to the floor.. Would have done better with a 10, not 10L. But because the front is much shorter, I was glad I had the longer length in the front. I received lots of compliments and felt like I had on the perfect dress for the location and occasion. It doesn't come with a belt but I added a soft pink one and it really helped make it more flattering. It has belt loops so I am glad I found a great one. I wore it with tan platform pumps with sparkles and a soft pink clutch. Recommend a strapless bra since the straps are narrow. It has a flattering neckline which can handle either chunky or delicate necklace. I think you'll have fun with this dress if you choose it and feel comfortable and airy...I DID

Cute dress. Runs small and short.
I rented this for a wedding but although I often wear a 10, I ordered the 12 since other reviews said it ran small. It runs VERY SMALL in the top.. fine in the below the waist but I Do NOT have a big bust and I could not get this dress close to zipping in the bust area. I was glad I had ordered a second dress as an option. Probably cute for a more petite younger party dress.

Beautiful dress but not for me. Fabric is much heavier than it looks. Not for curvy figures.
I rented this for a late September evening wedding. It turned out to be much warmer than expected and this was not the perfect selection. The fabric was much too heavy for the temperatures and the skirt is much too straight for a curvy figure. It was also snug in the shoulders for me. It was not the dress for me and I was very sad.

So much fun & really versatile
Loved this little number and it is super comfortable!! It is Fully lined so no slip is needed and has great flattering lines for my figure. I rented it for a dance party but wore the other one. I loved this one so much that I wore it the day after for all my daily activities. Wore it as a sundress, added a jacket when I was inside and even wore it to a hockey game by adding bright yellow "skinny jeans" underneath. It is a comfortable and fun dress and really versatile. It has a nice feature, an elastic band (like a swimsuit), that hooks in the back to hold the empire waist close and keep "the girls" in place. I wore it with Red sandals as a sundress and with bright blue flats with the yellow jeans. You can dress it up or dress it down and wear it morning ‘til night!!! A really nice length.

The dress was the perfect selection and fit just right. I felt amazing it in. It was comfortable and stylish. The experience was easy and I didn't have any problems with receiving it on time and getting it ready to send back. Delightful experience.

Having a great dress that suited my style and that I felt comfortable to dance and have fun in.
This dress was fun but needed a little modification to make it wearable. The top didn't fit quite right but by modifying the straps with one of those plastic clips used to pull bra straps together and adding a crinoline to the skirt it fit comfortably and looked more like "my flirty-fun style". I wore it to a dance party with red strappy sandles. Felt comfortable all night with those adjustments and got a ton of compliments.
