My husband wants me to buy this dress.
Rented it as a bridesmaid dress (my friend wanted long flowy and bright colors for her bridesmaids and let us pick out our own dresses). This dress is beautiful. I got about a dozen compliments. I love the blue in the bottom. It's super flowy and just wonderful to wear. It was a hot, hot, hot July wedding and I was grateful for the cool fabric. It definitely felt more like a silk chiffon thank a crinkle chiffon...(which was waaay nicer).

i wore this for our wedding brunch the day after. I loved this dress.
it's so comfortable. i was exhausted after our wedding weekend, and all i wanted to do was curl up and sleep. it was nice to have an easy, comfortable and beautiful dress to wear for brunch. felt beautiful but not too overdressed. i wish i owned this one, i'd wear it all the time.

i wore these for my wedding~
at first when i opened the box i thought they were way too big. but they actually turned out really nice in pictures and didn't bother me at all throughout the day. i got these as backup because my mom had wanted to get me earrings (but of course in chaos of the wedding she didn't have time). these worked perfectly.

I ended up not wearing it - it was backup backup
It's a beautiful color- i think it was a bit heavier than i wanted- and more of a prom dress. i had debated on ditching my wedding dress and using this for some crazy photos with me on horseback. but i liked my wedding dress so much more.

I wore this for a big talk I gave at a conference. Loved it.
I felt so professional in this photo. It's a lot longer than it looks in the picture, which was fine for me.... I'm 5 7 and have long legs and the dress came down way below my knees- which I like cause it was for work, but I felt like it was more of a mid-calf feel (I did wear flats though...) It's just a gorgeous dress- nice fit- felt so confident giving my talk in it.

Nice fit- hit the knees- nice material. I decided to go for another dress- because I decided this was a little too fun for my work presentation.

Couldn't wear it way tooo big and the fabric's worn.
I had been eyeing this Vera Wang for a while and planned to wear it to a wedding. Ended up not wearing and because someone damaged a backup size was already given a free backup. The dress I received was worn/fraying. If I hadn't already received a free backup, I would have mentioned it to RTR. Thanks to them for generous customer service.

I've rented 10+ dresses from RTR. This one was my favorite. Perfect for South Asian wedding
I had originally wanted the yellow version, but settled on the blue. Everything about this dress is gorgeous and subtle. the sparkle, the lace, the illusion neckline. I had people coming up to me and seeing it was the most beautiful guest dress at a 200+ party. It was a South Asian wedding so I wanted it to be a bit more conservative. Also my fiance's parents were guests at the wedding so I didn't want to show cleavage. My future mother in law described it as the absolutely perfect dress for this wedding. I don't think it of as matronly- it really hit curves in all the right places and never felt more elegant. I wish I owned this dress! the only negative was the tight arms, (I almost wore the 8)- it just limited my Bollywood dance move ;) RENT THIS DRESS!

Very fun front!!
The top half of this dress is so much fun. Sexy, different and the color is great. Unfortunately this dress I think has been worn a few too many times and some of the fabric looked very worn. The fit on this dress on the bottom was awkward on me. It bunched up on the back around my hips, above the butt. I'm never a size four, but that may have fit me better. It's still a fun dress!

I got this dress as part of a free upgrade
This dress rental would normally be completely out of my price range...but thanks to a wonderful upgrade because of damaged dress I got to try this gorgeous reem acra dress I'd been eyeing for a while. As other reviewers write it is 1) very low cut. 2) stunning and slimming. I wore it to two events. The first, I had problems with my bra showing, so and felt like it was little too much showing (though got lots of compliments from the bride and others). The second event (double wedding weekend), I wrote an under shirt, which felt a little more appropriate to a work friend's classy four seasons wedding. I'd definitely recommend this dress for a very class elegant hotel wedding. (You might feel over dressed at other types of events)... You can wear with or without spanx and feel great in it.

So many compliments- loved this sexy dress
I wore spanx and a strapless bar. It hugged the curves wonderfully. Dress rode up a little bit (mostly because I don't sit still very well and was bouncing around). I got so many compliments and just loved wearing this dress. At this price will definitely rent again. Wish I owned (and my fiance loved it). I think it's my favorite rental so far.

This was my free birthday dress. I wore it out to dinner with friends.
This dress is awesome. It was so incredibly flattering, slimming, though the top runs a bit big, so I recommend going down a size (though it definitely makes it a lot shorter). If it wasn't 800$, I'd totally buy this dress. I'd wear it all the time.

If you want to sparkle- this is YOUR dress.
Pros: So much sparkle. Got a dozen compliments on the dress, it just shines and stands out and glows. You're a disco ball (in a good way). It's forgiving... Wearing it: The 4 was a little too tight for my preference, but the 6 was a little loose at top- ended up with 6 for comfort's sake and added some body take.

this dress is so pretty
I rented this dress for an October wedding. But cause the weather was crazy it was 80 degrees so a little warmer then planned on. But it looked elegant for the church. It got a little warm dancing it, but like the elegant sexy look alot and the sleeves were perfect and the length was just right on me. I wish I owned it...i'd wear this all the time, it's fun and elegant. and the lace is very pretty

unfortunately wrong delivery address
RTR accidentally sent it to the wrong address so I wasn't able to get the dress in time to wear. (Reason for low rating)... but RTR gave me a full refund. I tried on the dress when i got home. It's quite tight and I think unforgiving in spots. It's more of a sexy night on the town dress than something I'd wear to a wedding. But it definitely turns heads. :)

very pretty dress
This runs big and only the size 2 fit. Unfortunately, the dress was sent to me with a few stains on the front. RTR of course offered an exchange, I picked out a different style because I didn't like how the chest fit...so did not wear the dress. it's hard to find a bra that fits.... But the colors and the patterns of this dress are gorgeous, would have loved to have worn it to an event.

Great, easy service
This is a beautiful dress. But I felt it was a bit too low cut for the family wedding I went to and had to put some serious tape on it (it definitely channels 'some like it hot/monroe'. If you're bustier, I'd be cautious (I couldn't wear a bra and had to do lots of fashion tape). I still ended up wearing it though, and given it was 90+ degrees, it was definitely the coolest dress you could ask for (and you'll enjoy a lovely twirl on the dance floor). It's also very sheer. I felt it ran big as the 6 was a bit big on me... and I didn't order 4 as my backup size.
