Maternity perfection
I wore this dress to my baby shower at 28 weeks. I ordered it two sizes larger than my normal size and the ruching made it good for my baby bump. The color is gorgeous and it was a total hit. It gave me room for the bump while still being very flattering. I hate tent-style maternity and this is the perfect alternative.

Very comfortable
Statement dress without being too over the top. Loved how comfortable this was--wore it to an autumn baby shower. The sleeves and pockets were great. Paired it with black tights and black boots. Would definitely rent again!

This was selected by a stylist to replace my first choice which had become unavailable. The fit was great and the dress was perfect for the wedding I attended.

My husband freaked out when he saw me in this.
I've never worn a backless dress before, but the front was very "me," and it was the 3-for-1 Valentine's promo, so I went for it, and I ended up wearing it instead of my first choice. It was very comfortable to wear and easy to take on and off (though the sequins will scratch you when you pull it on if you're not careful--there's no zipper; you just pull it over your head). I loved the colors of white and silver and the slashy kind of pattern they made. I paired it with beige/nude heels. Really loved this dress overall!

A bit basic
This was a really cute dress, and it fit well, but when all was said and done, it was not very memorable and I'm not sure it's worth renting a dress that has the same essential impact as the basic dresses I have in my closet. I was going for nice but understated, and I think I could have done that just wearing something I already own.

Comfortable date dress
This was a nice dress that fit very well in most respects. The only downside was that the fabric was paunchy in the middle instead of lying flat on my stomach, so the line wasn't as clean as I would have liked. I loved the color and design, and it was very comfortable. I wore it with tan heels and it looked great. No accessories necessary--it's perfect on its own.

Cute but short
This dress was cute and I loved how it fit. It was a little short, which I didn't think was the biggest deal, but I did get a comment about that (I'd worn it to a church event).

Great Mother of the Bride Dress
My mother wore this at my wedding as her mother of the bride dress. I'd rented it as my backup style for my rehearsal dinner but she tried it on and it looked awesome on her, so she had to wear it! It was glitzy yet conservative, and very easy to wear/low maintenance. She looked perfect! You can't go wrong looked like a million bucks when you only spent $30!

Nice Dress
This is a nice dress. I wore it to a wedding. I wore a strapless bra with it and some fashion tape to keep the sleeves up. This dress has a very wide, open neckline. I would have liked it to be a little less open, but it still looked nice. The dress felt a little high maintenance with keeping the neck and sleeves exactly where I wanted them. For a wedding where I was just a guest, I would probably go for something a little more low maintenance next time. The RTR review form is making me fill out which size I wore, but I rented a 4 and 6 and can't remember which one I ended up wearing--sorry!!

Wanted to Like This, But...
I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner and wound up not wearing it. I just was not into this dress. It wasn't really that flattering of a cut, and the pink color didn't do anything for me. I liked the concept of the dress but wound up just wearing one of my own dresses to the dinner.

Great Rehearsal Dinner Dress
This dress was cute and easy to wear. I wore it to my rehearsal dinner. The fabric is a casual jersey-type quality, but the design is unique and unexpected, so it's great for a laid-back party without being too boring. I wore the Genesha bangle with it and it was great.

Very Chic
This is a nice conservative dress. I wore it to my bridal shower. I rented one of RTR's necklaces to go with it. I think it really needed the statement necklace because it was a little bland without it. It's a great dress. I wore the 4. The 6 had something weird going on with the lining in the dress--it wouldn't lay flat.

My fiance's first words: "I am not worthy."
Love the fit of this dress. I liked the long sleeves a lot as well as the color. The only downside is that I had to wear a strapless bra--the design is like a tube dress with a shrug, and a normal bra showed a little bit on the sides. Overall, it's a great dress. I'm usually a medium with Nicole Miller, but the small size fit better, so I wore that.

This was a fun dress for my bridal shower. The fit was great. The only downside was the bottom layer dropped out from underneath and I had to tape it under. Overall, a great dress.

This one might be my favorite rental so far (second to the Troublemaker Cut25 dress).
Wore this to a rehearsal dinner. Great fit, color, and length. Easy to get on and easy to wear. Nice thick fabric that was comfortable. Conservative style without being stuffy.

Average dress
This was a nice dress, but there was nothing very special about it. It felt like an average summer sundress to me. The fit was good, though, and the material was nice and light for a hot summer day. It was my backup dress for a Saturday wedding. I didn't wear it to the wedding, but instead I wore it to a bridal shower the following day, so it all worked out.

Unusual Colors
This is a fun dress. Pros: the color is splashy and fun. I wore it to my niece's baptism and paired a yellow blazer with it and it was nice and colorful. Cons: I would have liked the skirt to be much more fitted. It poofs out a bit and doesn't have the streamlined look I usually go for. I enjoyed this dress, but it definitely wasn't my favorite rental.

Didn't wear it.
I liked the fit, but the pattern wasn't great on my pale skin. It washed me out, and I wore my back up style instead. It was very loose on top and I would have preferred it to be a little more tailored.

Beware the zipper on this dress!! I almost couldn't wear it!
I really loved this dress--comfortable, great color, good choice for a wedding. HOWEVER! I almost couldn't wear it because the zipper is so bad, and I couldn't zip it up! It only got zippered all the way up when my boyfriend yanked it up with a pair of pliers while I pulled the zipper down so it would go up straight. Very difficult and I almost didn't get to wear it because it was such a struggle. The dress was a great fit--the issue was the zipper itself. So if you rent this dress, be prepared to have someone help you zip it up, and we couldn't do it without tools to help do it. Don't rent it if you're not up for the challenge!!

I love this dress and would rent it again or buy a similar style. It's classy and low maintenance but looks great. I wore it with comfortable black heels and a necklace similar to what the model is wearing. It was comfortable but looked awesome.

I went with my backup style and didn't wear this dress.
I do not recommend this dress. I rented it for a literary event in the city. I thought it would look similar to my favorite rental, Cut25's Troublemaker dress, but the fit wasn't great. It was nicely fitted on the top but way too baggy on the bottom. I wound up wearing my backup style to the event and wore this one to work instead so it wasn't a total loss. I dressed it up with a gray/white/beige scarf, white jacket, and brown heels. It looked fine, but definitely didn't have the wow factor I thought it would, which was especially disappointing because this style is more expensive than the style I wound up going with. Usually I love every rental experience but this was the one unfortunate bad seed rental!

This dress had the perfect cover, fit, and coverage. I'd definitely rent it again, if not buy it.
The fit was absolutely perfect. I'd rent this again in a heartbeat. I wore it to an October evening wedding. I styled it pretty much like the model in the photo, with a gold medallion-y necklace and brownish-goldish high sandals. Perfect classy coverage but also very fitted which made it a great style for a wedding.

Wedding Fun
I liked this dress. It was sexy and flattering. I wore it with nude heels. A regular bra worked fine except the top would slip down occasionally and show the top of the bra, so then I'd have to adjust and pull it up. Overall, it was good. As a redhead, pink wasn't the greatest color.. I'd love to try this dress in black or navy or a darker color.

Didn't go with it
This was my backup dress. I wound up going with the other style I ordered. This style fit perfectly, but it was too similar to a dress I already owned and had worn a bunch of times. I liked the other style better (the Vena Cava cap sleeve dress, LOVED it) and it was a little more grown up and classier for the occasion (afternoon wedding).

Great Dress
I loved this dress. It's both sexy and classy. I am about 5'6 1/2 and I usually wear a 6 or an 8 in dresses, so I ordered both those sizes, and the 6 fit like a glove. I did have to wear a black bra so the sheerer parts of the dress wouldn't show through too much. I wore this to my cousin's November wedding with a pair of simple black heels and a funky asymmetrical metal necklace, and it was perfect. I highly recommend it!

Loved It
I'm usually a 6 or 8 in dresses and clothes, and the small fit perfectly. I loved this dress and was really sad to mail it back! I'd rent again and I'd even buy this dress if I could find it for sale somewhere. I felt very secure in the fabric and could wear a regular bra. Super flattering cut. Definitely the nicest LBD dress I've worn--it's casual enough and basic black but still pops.
