Vibrant color but top needs tape
This dress is so pretty! I got several compliments at my event. The color is so rich and the fabric and print are elegant. The top is generally too big even with a decent bust size and needed fashion tape as the reviews indicated. I taped both sides and a section of the skirt liner. The rest of the fit was TTS with a side zipper that cinched nicely at the waist. The slit is pretty high and a little tricky when seated. Loved this rental!

Colorful comfort!
The 38 was snug in the bust so I went with the 40. The rest of the fit was similar between the 2 sizes since the midsection is stretchy and the skirt and sleeves are flowy. I wanted the midsection to be fitted rather than elastic, which is why i gave it 4 stars. But, I got so many compliments that I decided to buy it.

Fun, flirty and unique
I’m usually between a 6 and 8 in dresses. The medium was too tight. The large had too much fabric in the bust/under my arms so I sewed a dart on each side. The train was a bit long even in heels but so worth the flowy fun, especially on the dance floor.

Baby Shower Beautiful
Loved this dress and others at the shower did too. It was feminine, soft and easy to wear. The sleeves are versatile with the option of up on or off the shoulders. I wore a strapless bra but if you wear the sleeves up, you could wear a regular bra. The slit added a bit of tasteful sass. It was roomy for a medium, especially on top, but was more comfortable than the small. Even with the room, the zipper was tough at the seam so that’s where the 4 stars come in.

Like a ray of sunshine!
I wore this comfy and high quality jumper to a bridal shower. I got several compliments on the color and the overall look. The top was too big so I had to pin it but the bottom fit perfectly. The elastic waistband and pockets were great features. The back zip took some maneuvering for bathroom breaks but I was able to handle it myself.

Flipped it around…wore as a jacket!!
I wanted to wear this top with the matching skirt, but went with my back up dress instead since it was more appropriate for the original event. Additionally, the large was too tight across my chest and flattened my boobs. Instead, I wore it backwards as a jacket to a concert. Thought it was such a fun look and I got tons of compliments!

Read the reviews and went with an 8. Fit was decent, soft and comfortable, but was riding up a bit out on the dance floor.

Fancy at work
I work this to a work function where I was presenting to customers. It’s definitely body-con and was a pretty snug across my chest. The colors are sparkly/festive, yet subtle enough for work.

Fun and comfy
I wore these festive joggers out to a small venue concert. They were so fun and I got compliments all night! I get they are supposed to be baggy but the mediums were pulled up to my boobs and slid down all night. Size down!!

Perfection
They run a tad bigger than TTS…I’m typically a 6 or 8 and the 6 is on point. Comfortable, great structure and trendy. I wore these out to a casual engagement party and then bought them. I’m packing them to wear to a work function out of town next week. Kinda expensive but worth every penny!

A upscale sweatshirt
This was a fun top. I wore it out and about twice with black jeans. The color is pretty loud but cool! It feels like sweatshirt material but has no stretch. The shoulders seem broad which isn’t usually a thing for me…if your in between sizes or have a slender frame, I’d size down.

I wore this for work with black leggings. Ordered the small after reading the comments. Light and fitted but still comfortable and cozy…think I could probably do without the belt.

Looked better on me than on the hanger
This dress was one of the more basic dresses I’ve selected from RTR: a modern twist on a black sheath with a cute side sash of fabric and balloon sleeves. The print is subtle with tan, green, blue and pink. The 6 wasn’t available so I wore the 8 and had plenty of room. Comfortable and classy.

Glamorous AF
I love this dress. But it’s VERY sexy and red carpet worthy so I decided to go with my backup, more casual dress for my niece’s wedding. The waistband has NO give so it probably would have been uncomfortable after dinner. It’s definitely on my list to rent again for another, more formal or sophisticated occasion.

Almost like a mermaid dress
What a lovely dress…but I didn’t wear it. I tried both the 6 and the 8…very little difference in the fit. Both sizes fit snuggly everywhere and were also very tight around my lower thighs. And the front is cut quite low.

Felt Amazing!
Very feminine with the lace overlay. Felt so pretty and got lots of compliments. Loved the high neck, but needed a plunge bra since the lining is cut in a low V. There is NO give though so my bust may have been less smushed in the large. A little toasty in the Arizona sun, but comfortable dancing all night in the air conditioned reception hall.

Sizzling dress but too much work to wear.
This dress was smoking hot! But I knew I would have to pin or tape the bust area (or wear a cami) and likely still have to adjust all night. Probably a good pick for a romantic date night but not for a night out with family.

Fun, flirty and SO comfy!!
This pullover dress was so easy to wear. It had a warm holiday feel with a subtle amount of shimmer. I had to wear a strapless bra but otherwise it was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't love was the tie collar: it was soft and silky so it didn't stay up like I wanted it to.

Celebrate with sparkling sleeves!
This dress was so fun. It's a basic black sheath with 2 arm loads of sparkle. The dress is pretty true to size but a bit roomy in the mid-section. I tried the small but it was too narrow/tight in the butt/hips area. The shoulder pads are thick but they balance the sleeves quite well so they aren't noticeable.

Effortless dress but too big on top
This dress was light and very comfortable. The sparkly animal print is tastefully fancy and definitely understated in photos. The top was top was too big; a size down may have worked better since the material had some stretch and the waistline was elastic. I thought it needed a belt too.

Backup dress success!!
I loved this dress & highly recommend it. It was fun, festive & comfortable. The colors are way better in person-the gold metallic was my favorite & was a perfect touch for a holiday party. It was a bit snug in the chest but the bodice material is like a waffle weave & has some stretch. Shout out to the RTR staff for their superior customer service. I was notified in plenty of time that my first choice wasn't retuned in time to ship to me. They replaced it with 2 back ups including this winner.

Way too short!
I selected the medium and while the size was right, there just wasn't enough dress. The front is too revealing and it's VERY short. For shorter women or someone ready to show off lots of leg, the dress is very comfortable. The fabric is so soft and color is a great choice for the holidays.

Can't wait to rent again!!
This dress was a back up. I read the reviews and knew the 6 may not fit but the 8 wasn't available. Sadly, I was right. I couldn't get the zipper up around my chest/rib cage. I felt amazing in the dress and comfortable which is always a plus for me. The color is a rich red with subtle sparkle with some sequins sewed in. I think a regular nude bra would work fine but there is a pad sewn in, so it may not be necessary. I WILL be renting the 8 for my next engagement.

Hot number but skin tight
I rented this dress as my back up for a dinner party. I wanted to love it but it was just too tight. Many of the reviewers went up 2 sizes...I wish I had listened since I think the 10 would have worked.

I rented this dress for a dinner party. The fabric and color are gorgeous but the cut on top is weird. It also runs small.

I sparkled all night long!!
This dress was one of my favorite rentals so far!! I got lot of compliments and definitely stood out in the crowd. I did not wear a bra since the lacy back is sexy and my favorite feature of the dress. I think a simple, plain, black bra one would look fine if you need additional support. The dress was everything I expected after reading the reviews: the fabric was kinda itchy, the dress is more sequin than lace and it was hard to raise my arms. The zipper was stiff; I wouldn't have been able to zip it up myself. The medium was probably the correct size for me but there was a little room in the "side boob" area. I paired this amazing dress with red pumps for a little pop of color.

Classy but too understated for a holiday party.
I had a feeling the dress wouldn't have enough "wow" for me for the holiday party I ordered it for. Thankfully my backup dress was amazing and fit me like a glove. I ended up wearing this dress to an evening office event instead. This dress fit like a classic sheath. It's true to size but has little to no give and a little snug across the bust. The slit is very high; I wore nude stockings which made me less concerned about it, sitting or standing.

This dress was gorgeous and the fabric felt amazing. I sized up after reading the reviews but still couldn't zip it past my rib cage. Thankfully this was my back up dress and I loved my first pick.

Royal Barbie!
This dress was so unique, fun and flirty. I felt amazing! I received so many compliments at the wedding I attended. The material was luxuriously structured and the colors were extraordinary. I paired it with Navy heels and silver accessories. I felt like Royal Barbie!! I sized up after reading reviews. My normal size wouldn't zip past my rib cage. Its definitely short, but I got used to the draft after awhile and thought it elongated my legs nicely. The only negative is that the top was a little big and the pleats didn't lay right at times. I wore a strapless bra to fill it out a little better, but bustier ladies could totally go without a bra. I can't wait for my next rental!!

Stylish and comfortable!
This was my first choice for an evening wedding but I ended up wearing my back up for that leaving this stunning dress for a bridal shower I had the next day. What a great first experience to love both dresses I chose! The 6 was a little flowy in the midsection so RTR promptly shipped me a 4. I ended up just wearing the 6 since the neck/shoulder area of the 4 was a little too tight. The dress was very comfortable and the color was gorgeous! The material is unlined so my bra lines showed a bit.

So stylish and comfortable!
This was my first experience with RTR and it did not disappoint! I had my first and second choice dresses in plenty of time. I loved both picks but my boyfriend liked the back up dress a little more so I wore this style to an evening wedding in upstate NY. The dress was elegant and very comfortable. It was a little snug across the bust area but I could wear a regular bra which was a plus. Some reviews touched on the color combo; I found it to be more tan in color than peach.
