Beautiful, but strange fit.
I really loved this dress in the pictures and on the hanger, but unfortunately for me the fit just didn't work. Other reviews mentioned that this seems to be best for someone with a long torso, and I should have paid more attention to that. I am quite short, so the bottom of the arm hole opening hit in the wrong place for me. I tried to pin the shoulder straps to lift it up, but it gaped in weird places, so unfortunately I ended up not wearing it. I live close to a RTR store, so I was able to easily swap it out for something that fit me better, before my event.

Fun dress with a beautiful, cape back!
I rented this dress at the last minute from my local RTR store when my original rental didn't quite fit right. I am lucky enough to live near one of the stores so I tried on a few things and found this. Honestly, I don't think I would have picked it online because the pictures don't do it justice - it looks plain. In person, it is a very pretty color, and the back really makes the dress. It was also very flattering and comfortable. I would absolutely rent this one again, or even or buy it!

Stunning but runs small!
I felt amazing in this dress but it definitely runs small. I normally am between an 8 and a 10, but since this one runs small I probably needed the 12, but it wasn't available. I got a back up dress but loved this one so much, that I wore the 10, even though it was tighter than I would normally go. I wore this for a date night out with my hubby and felt amazing, I wouldn't have felt comfortable in this for a work function, but for date night it was perfect.

Beautiful and comfortable!
I wore this dress for a dinner with my husbands new colleagues, and I felt very comfortable all night. I have small shoulders, so the smaller of the 2 sizes I rented worked better for me.

Amazing dress that's comfortable too!
I rented this for my birthday, and felt amazing in it! The 8 was a little bit tight, but still fit. The 10 wasn't available, and RTR was great about sending me a backup dress, but I loved this one too much to pass up the chance to wear it. This might be my favorite of all the ones I've rented (which is several now) - I was sad to send it back!

Perfect shirt for an outdoor concert!
I rented this shirt for an outdoor concert, and it was perfect! I paired it with tight jeans and espadrille wedges. It was very hot that night, and it was the kind of concert where you dance all night and never sit down. This shirt was perfect because it was very light and it breathes really well. The colors are beautiful and I got lots of compliments. I have small shoulders and straps can be a problem, but with the adjustable straps I just set them to the tightest settings and I didn't have any problems. Definitely go down a size for your back-up.

Beautiful dress, but difficult to wear.
This dress is beautiful in person, and definitely makes a statement, but it is not a "toss it on & go" dress. It is definitely a two-person job to get this zipped and closed properly. I was in between sizes - the 8 was just a little too tight and made me feel very uncomfortable with the amount of cleavage; the 10 fit better, but unfortunately there were some broken pieces of boning that made it unbearably uncomfortable. I was able to wrap some medical tape around the broken pieces so that they didn't scratch me or poke into me and then I was able to wear it without any problems. This dress is a good option for anyone on the shorter side who needs something for a black-tie wedding. On me this was a floor-length dress in the back - I can't rent true floor-length gowns because they are just too long, but this was perfect with a pair of heels (about 3 inches was enough for me).

Perfect dress for an anniversary dinner in Las Vegas.
Beautiful dress that is very flattering on the body, and really elegant in person. I was in Las Vegas with my hubby to celebrate our anniversary and needed a dress for dinner, so I made an appointment at the RTR store in the Cosmo with Destiny. She is amazing! This is one of the dresses she pulled for me for dinner. I was almost too afraid to try it on because I tend to be a bit conservative and had never worn a dress with cutouts before. I am also a little big in the bust area, and therefore ignore anything I can't wear a bra with. I was really surprised by how much I loved this dress. The black skirt hides any tummy issues well, and the slit makes your legs look longer if you are on the shorter side, like me. I have tiny shoulders so the back didn't lay flat the way it does on the model. Destiny saved the day with two safety pins to tighten the top portion, and then we were able to tuck it into the skirt so the pins didn't show. This dress reminded me of something Anika Calhoun would wear on Empire - I felt really glamorous in it! I had so much fun wearing this dress and received compliments from pretty much everyone I saw that night. Also - the hubby loved it :)

Perfect dress for vacation in Las Vegas!
Really fun dress! This is not something I would normally wear, but I was in Las Vegas for a few days celebrating my wedding anniversary and wanted a fun dress for a night out with the hubby doing all the Vegas stuff. I made an appointment at the RTR store in the Cosmo with Destiny, and this is one of the dresses she pulled for me. It fit me really well, and was easy to wear. I got compliments on it all night! It also photographs really well.

Gorgeous dress! Runs small.
This dress was my favorite of any RR dress I've rented. The fit wasn't great, but the colors were so vibrant, and I loved wearing it. I normally wear an 8, but it was really tight in the rib cage, so I wore the 10. The problem with sizing up is that then the straps are too long in the shoulders so the neckline doesn't sit flat the way it should. The other problem with the 8 was that there were some white lines under the arms and across the bust - at first I thought it was deodorant, but it looked almost as if a thread got pulled during dry cleaning or something, so just watch out for that. Still highly recommend the dress - I was sad to send it back!

Beautiful dress! Runs a bit small.
I wore this dress for my graduation from graduate school, and it was perfect for the occasion. I normally wear an 8, but it was too tight in the rib cage, so I wore the 10. It was beautiful and graceful and the fit and flare made it comfortable in the stomach area to wear it all day and still be able to enjoy dinner that night.

Perfect for celebrating my engagement with good friends and good drinks!
This dress is really pretty in person! It is a little short (and I am short, so on someone tall it might be too much).

Fun dress for my bachelorette party!
This dress is really pretty and flirty, and was perfect for a bachelorette party. It did run a little bit small, and I had to adjust it a couple times during the night, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Overall, I was really happy with it.

Pretty dress, but unfortunately sleeves were too tight and I was not able to wear it.
Unfortunately, the sleeves were so tight that I was not able to wear this dress. If it fits you, it is a beautiful dress in person.

This dress was great - I received compliments on it all night long!
This dress is very comfortable, and very easy to wear. It does run a little bit big, but I found that it was more comfortable to wear one that was slightly too big, rather than slightly too small. I was able to eat, sit and dance comfortably all night long. My friends all said I looked great, which is always a plus! I was able to wear a regular bra, without anything showing.
