Perfect for a 20s themed NYE party!
I danced the night away in this dress. It was comfortable and beautiful. Would definitely rent again!

My favorite rental so far!
This dress was phenomenal. I'm six months postpartum and the skirt portion covered any insecurities. It was just absolutely fabulous!

I felt sooo sexy!
Rented this for a gala at three weeks postpartum. The dress fit great and had lots of structure to cover any lumps and bumps. Oh yeah, and I'm pumping in this picture!

Pretty, but well-worn
The dress was pretty and flattering, but well-worn. The embroidery, especially around the neck, was pretty beat up. I wouldn't rent it again.

Nice but not my favorite
I rented last-minute so I didn't have a lot of options. This dress fit fine but wasn't super comfortable and wasn't the most flattering. The chest area was not tight enough to go braless, which was a bummer.

Beautiful!
Lots of compliments all night. The lower half of the dress is very full, so if you're already big on the bottom you might want to find a different dress.

Didn't get the right size so I didn't wear it.
I ordered the 12 & backup 10. Something happened with the 12 so they sent the 10 and a different backup. The 10 zipped but would not have been comfortable, so I went with the other dress. Not sure that I'd try this one again...it's cute, but the color and bow are intense in person!

Attention-grabbing!
I rented this for a fundraising gala and it did NOT disappoint! I was getting compliments all night long and the photos were perfect. The dress absolutely glowed in the low-lighting of the performance. Definitely not for those who don't want to stand out!

Perfect!
I would absolutely rent this dress again! It fit like a glove, felt high-quality, and looked great. I was nominated for an award, and knew I would be photographed whether I won or not, so I had to look good, right? Well, I won, and ended up on the front page of the paper in this dress! Whew! It's tight enough in the bodice that I was able to skip a bra. If I hadn't, not sure what I would have done. The dress cuts in in the front and back, and a bra would have shown.

Super sexy and comfortable too!
I rented this dress for a young professionals party. I knew I'd be running around, so I needed to be comfortable, but would also be photographed, so I needed to look great. This dress was amazing. I'm a 10/12 and the 12 fit perfectly. Surprisingly, the bodice was fitted enough that I could skip a bra. This dress could also work for day if you needed it to; just wear a blazer over top and them BAM open back for nighttime! Loved it and would absolutely rent it again.

I got so many compliments and felt great!
The dress fit perfectly and looked great. However, initially two of my colleagues could not get it zipped at all. Not because it was too small, but because there was a small tear on the lining that made getting the zipper past the thick seam seemingly impossible. I called RTR and they overnighted me TWO more of the exact same dress in a 12. Unfortunately, the overnighted dresses didn't arrive at my house until about 15 minutes AFTER I needed to leave for my event. This story does have a happy ending though; my mom was able to get the dress zipped despite the tear in the lining. And then I didn't take it off for the rest of the night!

I felt so sexy!
I loved this dress and am so glad I rented it! We went to a fundraising gala for the local arts center and I felt beautiful. It was perfect for the occasion and I could dance all night in it. Only thing is the open back. It makes the dress, but I'm currently breastfeeding so I definitely could not get away with going braless. I fashioned a bra out of duct tape and it worked great!
