My favorite RTR dress EVER!
This dress fits like a glove and looks super flattering. Previous reviews said it was difficult to move in - I didn't have that experience. I love this dress, contemplating buying it.

Beautiful colors for a fall wedding
The dress was really beautiful. Loved the material and the color. My only complaint is the dress ran a bit big/long. I'm 5'3" and expected it to fall mid-thigh - it ended up falling to my knee. Otherwise it was perfect.

A back up dress became a fav!
I surprisingly loved this dress. It was a back up for a back up. A dress didn't arrive, then they sent a back up but to the wrong location so this was a third back up and I had low hopes... but it was perfect. As is true with all E&J dresses, it runs small. The 2 fit great. The color is very pretty. Will definitely rent again.

Everything about this dress is perfection. The lace top was gorgeous. Length was perfect with 3" heels (I'm 5'3"). Would love to have an excuse to rent this again.

Night out in Miami!
Dress is pretty. Great length. Sequins added sass. Didn't love that I couldn't wear a bra with it. Scratchy at times. Not sure I would rent again but it worked for my vacation.

I wore this for a friend's birthday dinner/party. It was a little longer than I had expected (I'm 5'3" and it almost reached my knee) but the color and central cuts made up for it.

Got engaged in this dress :)
I love DVF. Every dress I rent of hers is perfect. Gorgeous navy color and the lace was elegant. Interestingly this was much shorter than other DVF dresses I've rented. It also ran small. I always wear a 0 but I found the 2 was (slightly) looser, not longer. Beautiful dress but if you're on the fence, size up!

Gorgeous but fell off and gave me a panic attack!
Beautiful earrings but didn't realize they were clip on. I didn't really care... until they FELL OFF mid wedding and I spent an hour of the after party combing through the ballroom with maintenance looking for the missing earring. I wouldn't trust myself to rent and wear them again, I'd absolutely lose them :(

Took a risk on the bright purple dress and what a success!
I usually stick with conservative colors, especially for weddings but I thought this dress looked so awesome I had to try it. It was great! It doesn't look neon purple, as it does on the model. It's slightly lighter than plum. I loved the flare, it looked perfect while I was spinning on the dance floor. The cut outs are really cute too.

Rented this for a fancy birthday dinner!
On the shorter side, which I like because I'm short. Has a black slip that becomes exposed when you sit but otherwise it was perfect. I wore it with Kendra Scott Darcy earrings, initially rented for another dress but wore it with both. Wish I owned this dress so I could wear it again!

Perfect dress for my 28th birthday party!
Definitely short and sexy. I'm 5'3" and always worried about dresses being too long - this wasn't. The sheer cutouts really made the dress. Could've gone with the XS or S but chose the XS so it was a bit more form fitting.

I rented this for 4th of July weekend. I wanted a fun romper to wear out to some beach bars and this was perfect. Short enough to wear with flats and have it still appropriate for out.

Wore this for a night out on the Cape, it was perfect
Really cute white romper. The base is thick white material and not see through, which I was worried about. I wish the top didn't have the little fringe lace at the shoulders because it was kinked and kind of stuck out at weird angles. Otherwise really liked it!

Perfect length, unique pattern and loved the fit
I'm almost always a size 0, so I figured I'd be wearing the 6 but it was super tight. Couldn't even raise my hands above my head and struggled to get it off. The 8 was perfect. I'm 5'3" so I'm always worried about dresses being too long - this was perfectly short. I liked the top and sleeves made it conservative while the length was a little more flirty. I rented it for after work drinks / just because. I wish I owned this dress!

Excellent dress for a breast cancer fundraiser!
Looks SO much better in person compared to the model. The bottom isn't nearly as poofy, it's more fitted. The color is a beautiful neon pink. To be honest I ended up renting days before the Pink Party and was left with approximately 5 options for pink dresses. I chose this mostly out of necessity, but it couldn't have been more perfect! Many compliments.

Cute pattern and sexy back!
Pros: Colors and the pattern are beautiful. Light colors make it perfect for spring/summer, but the addition of the black/grey with the neoprene fabric makes it perfect for an evening affair. Back is super cute. Cons: Much longer than I expected looking at where it fell on the model. I always pay attention to that because I'm on the shorter side (5'3"). Looking at the model it looks like it falls high up on the thigh, so I expected mid-thigh on me. It landed just above the knee on me, which I didn't love. Also both dresses smelled like smoke :( dislike that. Wore Kendra Scott - Rose Quartz Skylar Earrings with this dress, really went well together. Overall: Good rental. Wouldn't buy it but it wasn't bad for the night.

Beautiful color for a tropical vacay!
Color is gorgeous. I wore similar earrings as the model and it looked great. I went with the XS regular. I'm 5'3" and was able to wear the dress without heels. Was really perfect for a sunset walk on the beach.

Hugs the body perfectly. Colors are gorgeous. Perfect for vacation! It pained me to return this dress. Also I should say that RTR has amazing customer service. I didn't realize you can't return rentals internationally (whoopsie). They extended my return deadline because of the mix up. SO NICE. Thanks RTR, you keep me coming back.

This dress is great! It's super comfy and forgiving without being too baggy/shapeless. It's also short which I love since I'm 5'3" and dresses are usually longish on me. The colors were also perfect for beach pictures :)

Beautiful, perfect fit.
Like other reviewers I was a little worried that this dress and the lace cut-outs might be a bit much for a wedding. Thankfully this dress was perfect. Just the right balance of sexy and classy. The back is the best part, but requires a backless bra or bra-less. I wore a Nu bra and it worked well

PERFECT for a holiday party!
What made this dress great is that I was able to wear it to a holiday party where I wasn't sure exactly how formal it was. I wore nude wedges and it could've gone either way. The fabric is thick, high quality and the design is very stylish. The bottom is higher in the front vs. the back, a very subtle detail that I really liked. The neckline and length is conservative but its tight enough to step it up. Really would love to have this in my closet as a "go-to". I would wear it multiple times year.

The back is very beautiful.
Unfortunately, this is hands down the most uncomfortable dress I've ever worn. I understand pain for fashion, but this was too much. It was snug in all the wrong places (both sizes) and ITCHY. When I took the dress off my skin was red all over from the irritation. This has never happened to me before. It actually caused me to end my night early because I couldn't stand it anymore. The dress itself is very beautiful. I got lots of compliments throughout the night. And the back just tops it off. Similar to other reviewers, I wore a nubra + fashion tape to prevent the back from gapping open. Long story short, if you have the pain tolerance to pull this off - go for it. Otherwise, pick another dress.

Not your average LBD!
This dress is TINY. I can't remember the last time I wore a size 2. The zero had no chance and the 2 was super tight and short. May have been better suited for a night out rather than a formal dinner party. Regardless, the lace accents were very pretty and definitely stepped it up. If I rent again I definitely will be ordering a size 4.

My FAVORITE RTR dress thus far! It hurt to return this dress!
I knew it was going to be awesome when the dresses showed up with the tags still on. I was so nervous to rent this dress without any reviews prior to my rental.. But I'm so happy I did! The material is gorgeous. The fit was PERFECT. I'm 5'3" and the dress fell mid thigh. It seriously pained me to return this dress. Please excuse the abnormal coloring in the picture. It was a holiday party so there was a lot of green and red lights reflecting everywhere.. RENT THIS DRESS.

My favorite earrings ever. I might buy them. Can be wore with anything to give a little sparkle (literally I wore them all weekend). I wore them with a black silk top and jeans, and then with a dress I rented. Beautiful!

Felt like a movie star!
I wore this dress to a work gala. The dress fit great. I was concerned about the length and after reading the reviews I decided to order the R and the L given the concern about it being too short. The 0R was perfect/ almost a little too long with my 3" heels, but I felt the extra train made it look even more elegant. The color was beautiful and the sequins gave it just the sass I wanted without being too over the top. FYI I highly recommend renting the earrings too - they completed the outfit!

Perfect for a summer wedding!
This dress fit perfectly. I had read in a previous review that the top was baggy and I have to say that was not my experience. I'm a 32B and the top was TIGHT. Thankfully the material was thick enough to go bra-less and did enough pushing up by itself, because I don't think I could've fit a bra. Length was perfect - short enough with a flare - ideal balance of classy, cute and sexy. The only thing that surprised me was the base color. It looks silvery in the model picture and in photos; however, it had a cream/ off-white base with a flower pattern. I was actually happier with this because I wanted to wear gold heels without it clashing with the silver and I could do this. Lots of compliments.. Would rent again!

Beautiful blue!
The model's picture does not do this dress justice. This dress is BLUE. A bright gorgeous blue, not dusty blue like the model's picture appears. Fit was perfect. Snug in all the right places and perfect length (for a shorter person like myself - might be too short on taller girls). The design and the capped sleeves made it pop. Would love to own this dress and wear it over and over!
