Simple but nice.
Cute little add on for a dress I rented.

Nice Bohemian Fall Dress.
I liked this dress a lot. I rented it for a work event and ended up not wearing it at the last minute. It is very flowy and bohemian, so I ended up opting for something more professional. That said, the fit is very flattering, I loved the long sleeves, and the pattern is perfect for fall. I ended up just wearing it on a date night with my husband, paired with booties. It's long but the length is still flattering. It does have a very low plunging neckline (another reason I opted not to wear it to work). Would rent again.

Nice statement necklace!
Not too heavy, loved the asymmetric design. Overall a nice piece that went well with a high-neckline gown I also rented.

Nice color. Not that flattering.
I wanted to love this dress but it just didn't look great on. Actually - it looked better in person than it did in photos. Something about where the waist hit made me appear heavier than I am. Color was gorgeous though and it was comfortable. There was a little stretch to it and the lace was soft and not itchy. I wore this to a fall wedding.

Great for New Years!
This was the perfect dress to wear to a new years party. The plunging back was gorgeous. I do wish it had been more flattering. The length hit my legs right at at awkward place (right at the knee) and while the sequins were festive, they highlighted every curve - including the not-so-great-ones. But for the price, and for something I was wearing once, it worked. 3/4 inch sleeves had a tendency to roll-up (exposing the lining) and I had to pull the dress itself down constantly (but that's sometimes a given when you're a pear shape like me). Probably wouldn't rent again but a nice one-time party dress.

Great LBD with some flare. Tight, but forgiving (and sexy)!
Loved this dress. Got an XS and S and ended up wearing the XS which hugged my curves perfectly. Definitely a very tight dress but had a lot of stretch - and is a thicker material so it sucks you in and is quite flattering on. Would rent again.

Classic, sexy dress in a bold color. Pockets do not lay flat though.
Rented this dress for a formal ball and it was a stunner! The cut-outs and bold red color are a sexy twist on a classic dress. I paired it with a dark grey statement necklace (also rented from RTR) and red lipstick. Only issue is, if you have curvier hips, the pockets do not lay flat. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4 and the 2 fit in the bust but was snug in the hips making the pockets flare out like ill-fitting trousers. The size 4 laid flat in the hips but was too big in the bust. I ended up pinning the pockets down and strategically placing my handbag over the pockets for pics. Overall, it worked well for the event but I probably wouldn't rent it again. On another note, I accidentally rented this dress for the wrong dates and only noticed when it did not arrive the day before the event. I called customer service and they were amazing and overnighted it to me in time. A+ for service.

Great dress! Very flattering and classic. Bottom lays a little awkward.
Rented this dress for a gala and it was gorgeous. Fit very well and was super flattering. I thought the off-the-shoulder sleeves might be cumbersome or uncomfortable but they weren't. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4. The 2 came and it was in terrible shape. Wrinkled, the ribbing in the front was poking out, the bottom was so worn that the elastic was barely keeping it in shape. Fortunately, the size 4 fit better anyway and was in much better condition. That said, the bunching at the bottom of the dress does not lay flat the way it does in photos, and it looked a little awkward in person, as you can see in the picture. Otherwise a great dress. The size 2 needs to be retired though.

Wore this to my bridal shower and got a ton of compliments!
What a great dress! It fit perfectly. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4 and didn't even have to try the 4 on as the 2 fit perfectly. Somewhat snug in the bust, but that makes for a very flattering silhouette. I worried the sleeves would bug me but they didn't. Also the back is low but I was still able to wear a bra with this without it showing. The blush color was a nice alternative to traditional white for my bridal shower brunch.
