Laughably Bad
This dress looks beautiful on many people. I was not one of them. I tried it on and within 2 seconds knew I would not be wearing it to a wedding. It’s gigantic and was not flattering on me at all. The material was nice and the colors were pretty, but overall not a winner.

Unique, flirty, fun dress
I wore this to a late-summer cocktail-attire wedding. The dress in my regular size (8) was comically small, so I am glad to have had the backup size (10), which fit nicely. I loved the adjustable straps and flirty skirt, which moved beautifully in the wind. The dress is light, comfortable, and worked for me at 5'3. My only criticism is that the sash was not tied on the backup dress. I watched a video to learn how to tie it, but I wish it had been pre-tied.

Gorgeous cut, color, and pattern
I wore this dress to a winter charity benefit and received tons of compliments. The length is perfect for petite women (I am 5'3). It shows just the right amount of skin while still being very tasteful. The color is a rich, vibrant red, and the pattern gives the dress movement. I also loved that it had pockets and straps to secure bra straps in place. My only criticism is that it does run a bit small. I am a size 8/medium in most clothing, and I found the chest and waist to be a bit tight and uncomfortable to sit in. Otherwise, I definitely recommend this dress!

Cute and flirty
I wore this dress with black tights and black booties to a winter baby shower. The dress is very comfortable and shows just the right amount of skin at the neckline. However, the little button to close the top kept popping open; I wish I had used a safety pin for more security. Other than that, I would highly recommend!

Great pop of color
I paired these earrings with a burgundy cocktail dress and nude pumps at a fall wedding. The earrings were lightweight and the perfect pop of color. They didn't weigh down my ears at all - I would rent again in a heartbeat!

Eye-catching but smaller than expected
I recently rented this clutch for a wedding. It's beautiful and well-made, and I received a ton of compliments! However, it was a bit small, the chain kept getting in the way, and I found myself constantly having to rearrange things in order to be able to close it (I had an iPhone 8 with a phone case, two credit cards, a lipstick, and small tissue pack). I would recommend this bag if you're carrying only the bare minimum.

Perfect Fit
I've rented this dress twice - once for a semi-formal work gala and once for a fall wedding. It fits true to size and hugs every curve perfectly. I am 5'3, and it falls just below the knee. I received many compliments and might rent it for a third time!

Fun dress but runs small
I rented this dress for my company holiday party. It was appropriate for the setting, and the fringe added a fun and unique element. However, the sizing runs small - I am a tried and true medium in most clothing, and I had to wear the large. This dress is also not ideal for petite women. I had to use a lot of dress tape to tape the hem, which made the dress very tapered and tight and a bit difficult to walk around. I would not recommend renting this dress if you are petite and need a large range of motion for dancing, etc. Finally, the dress is more of a wine color than a true red.

Runs very small
The dress is well made, and the pattern is beautiful, but I am very disappointed in the sizing. I am a medium or 8/10 for most RTR rentals, so I rented a medium with a large as a backup. This dress runs incredibly small - the large was too tight to even stand in. I did not end up wearing the dress.

Stunning color and very comfortable
I wore this dress to a formal grad school event. The color is beautiful, the fabric falls beautifully, and the neckline is modest yet sexy - no necklace needed in my opinion. I normally wear an 8P but wore the 10P after the 8P was not available. It was a tad loose in the chest, so I wore a strapless bra even though it has built-in cups to add a little extra padding. However, my only criticism is that it was too long, even though I ordered a petite size. I ended up tying a knot on the bottom, and it looked great, especially with the burgundy wedges I wore. Unfortunately, I don't have a full-length picture, but trust me, this dress would look great on anyone!

Gorgeous color but not for petite girls
I requested this dress after one of my backup sizes fell through (thank you RTR for the amazingly quick customer service!). It is true to size, the color is simply stunning, and fabric falls beautifully. However, it was just too long. I am 5'3, and even with 3 1/2" heels, it kept tripping me up. The built-in cups are also a tad large for small busted women, which causes the straps to fall down. Unfortunately, I did not wear it this time around, but I will be the first in line when it is available in petite sizes!
