Neon!
More than bright--it's neon! And tight in the hips. And short. I would have preferred to not wear black with it, but needed to matte-out my legs since I was wearing it to work.

Wouldn't stay off shoulders. Also several stains on blouse. But still fun and hides the flaws.

Easy fit & great feel!
Loved to looser fit (I.e. tunic style) and the soft fabric. The ties on the sleeves were a good unique--even though they kept getting caught on a few things. I'd definitely rent again.

Amazing! I bought it!
Runs a little large, but an absolutely amazing jacket. I bought the S for myself and it fit better.

Curvy silhouette!!
I received a lot of compliments on this dress. Very curve-flattering and the whimsical sleeves add to that feeling/perception. It was too short to wear without opaque tights for my comfort, and it really does need a slip as the fabric is very light-weight.

Great fabric and fit!
Loved the fabric and the fit of the dress. It was a little too A-line in the skirt for my taste, but it was still very cute.
White Natalia Dress

Loved the fit & feel!
This is a great LBD! The only thing that caused me problems was the fabric/knit has subtle wide striping in the weave that is very sheer and thus see-through to where I felt I needed a slip and the slip kept showing all night. I finally took the slip off. I'd definitely get this dress again.

Comfortable Chic
Loved the comfortable, southwest chic of this dress. I wore it with cowboy boots. Received a lot of compliments. I added a slip because the fabric isn't very thick.

Perfect Design Details!
The sleeves and the thickness of the fabric really make this dress. I received a ton of compliments--and it was my backup! I would definitely rent again.

POW Color!
Men loved the color!!! All day long, men couldn't stop commenting on the blue. I told them the fabric was just as fantastic. Cons: no zipper, etc. So it's a true over-the-head dress. And the neck opening is "boat" style (wide) so bra straps tend to show. Other than that, it's fabulous. The fabric is the perfect thickness - no Spanx needed. No slip needed, either.

Unique, "Mod" Dress
The shape was comfortable and the fabric soft. It ties around the neck and the slit that creates in the upper back is longer than I expected, but it wasn't a problem. It has pockets (bonus!) and it was super comfortable! I received a ton of compliments.

Cha-Ching!!
Even though this wasn't MY favorite RTR dress, it definitely piled in the compliments -- the most I've ever received for a RTR dress. The color is amazing; gold metal zipper accent is classy; it's bottom-lined; thickish fabric (perfect weight); comfortable; and the tulip sleeves give it a fun flair.

Awesome Deep Red Clutch
I liked that it had silver metal detailing in lieu of gold that so many of the bags have right now. Beautiful leather. Perfect dark red.

Gorgeous color! Amazing lace!
Great cranberry red color and the lace is truly amazing. I loved this dress. Nothing but good to say about it! I'd definitely rent again.

Versatile Chic!
Super loved this dress! It was a spandex lace -- there was only one button at the top of the back of the high neck collar. Other than that--it's an over-the-head into and out-of dress. I found that I could wear a regular black bra underneath and it didn't show (important for support of my larger cup size!). I dressed it down with cowboy boots and wore it dancing. Loved it!

Sexy dress!
I received a ton of compliments on this dress. Even the day after I wore it, someone came up to me and told me they were telling their family about the dress the night before. A couple of things I wasn't particularly fond of: the v-neck front piping had extra salvage cut-off that showed right in the "v"; and on the side between the zipper and the snaps there's quite a large space that shows skin. Other than that - perfect. I'd still rent again and hope that a different size 8 didn't have that v-salvage.

Thick fabric & great form!
Absolutely loved the fabric, fit, cut, design, and color of this dress. I wasn't sure I'd love the collar, but I ended up really liking it. The dress arrived with a small hole in the left hip seam, but 1) I wore it anyway and 2) reported it to RTR and they shipped me my choice of a replacement item without waiting to receive this dress back in stock. Awesome customer service!!

Rebel w/ a classy cause!
The leather was soft, thick, and classy. Loved the zipper details. I only wore it once, but I'll definitely get it again when the weather cools down.

Rich fabric w/ forgiving stretch.
Really loved this dress! The fabric was high quality and the perfect thickness/thinness (I didn't wear a slip). The slit only on one side was a nice design element. The only thing I didn't like we're the armpit holes -- they were a little too deep/loose.

Soft, Feminine Fabric!
Loved the fabric! Gave it a very feminine feel and look. Note - the shirt was a little too see-through IMO, so I wore a light-weight tank/camisole underneath.

Great fit & stretch!
Fit and fabric of the dress were great (note - the dress is unlined, but the fabric is thick enough that I didn't feel like it needed a slip). The dress was several inches shorter than in the advertised photos!! I specifically chose this dress because I don't have the best legs so I like dresses that come to my knees - so the length was disappointing. Also, there was a smell to the dress when it arrived that I can only assume was from chemical processing/cleaning - but I literally considered not wearing it because it was that horrible.
