Simple and chic
This dress fit true to size. I'm 5'9" and wore 4 inch heels, and the 4L length was perfect. The slit makes it easy to walk and move in without being too revealing when sitting. The material is thick with a bit of stretch/give. I felt very secure in the dress all night long. I was able to wear the dress with a red racerback bra, however with a 34D chest, I had to use strategic double-sided tape to make sure the bra wouldn't show (smaller chests won't have any issues). The simple silhouette of the dress made it easy to dress up as much (or as little) as needed.

Very cute patterned clutch for evening
This clutch has a small gold chain strap that easily tucks inside, allowing you to wear it strapped over your shoulder or to carry as a clutch. It's wide enough to fit your phone and essentials easily. The only downside was that I didn't feel like the clasp was securely shut- it shut all the way, however there was a small crack of space along the top portion of the bag. It was not large enough for anything to fall through, however I'd just be cautious when using the bag that you're not overly rough with it.

True statement earrings
These clip-on earrings are definitely statement earrings. Although they are large, they didn't hurt to wear until after approx 5 hours of wear, at which point they did get a bit heavy and sore on my ears (however I think that's very much the case with any clip-on earrings). They are true white in color, with a bronze/gold metal rope finish. I wore them with a red dress, which really made the earrings pop.

Lovely dress for formal occassion
This dress is heavy! The bodice has wired support, and the material is thick. The bottom fishtail is fun, however it does add to the weight of the dress. Proper heel height is a must, otherwise I could see it being easy to trip and get caught up in the bottom of this gown. It's a beautiful dress and well-made. I would wear it again.

Fun easy dress
I loved the cape detail on this dress- it was perfect for my bridal shower. The dress is lined, and material is of medium thickness (not thin or see-through). Very comfortable dress- it hung in a flattering way that wasn't too tight.

Disappointing dress but amazing customer service
I rented this dress for a wedding. As other reviewers have mentioned, the fabric is more of a cotton/blend, not a shiny satin as the pictures suggest. That makes for a more casual feel to the dress, and it held wrinkles easily (my photo is after steaming the dress). The zipper was broken on the first size 40 dress, but a quick call to customer service had another size 40 overnighted to me in time for my event. The color is the only thing that really made this dress noteworthy in any way. It seemed like any sheath dress you could purchase at the mall- it was underwhelming and didn't feel as luxurious as other dress rentals. Renting dresses can be stressful when you're not always sure what you might get, however RTR's customer service consistently goes above and beyond so there's no need to worry. If there is an issue, they will fix it.

Sits above natural waist line!
I so wanted to love this dress, however the waist sits higher than your natural waistline, giving it a more babydoll look to it. In the photo it appears like it might hit at the waist, but it does not. If you happen to look good in babydoll dresses, then you won't mind this dress. It's a tad itchy (to be expected), but it really is a beautiful color.

Perfect LBD!
I love this dress! The material is thick, which helps hold you in without being suffocating. The lace detailing along the collar and sleeves could use a little ironing to help lay flat, but overall this dress was the perfect LBD. I agree with other reviewers however, and wish the lace panels on the side torso were unlined and showed some skin (there is a nude fabric underneath).

Easy uncomplicated dress
My original ordered dress did not fit, so this dress was sent to me as a last minute back-up. It was comfortable and I was able to wear a strapless bra with it. The front chest portion drapes, and is a little loose, so smaller chested girls might have a problem with the fit. And be warned, it is quite short! Overall, it's material is super soft and silky and a comfortable dress if you don't mind showing off some leg.

Pretty dress for Fall
Beautiful color, however runs very large. I am normally a 4, and ordered a 2 & 4. Ended up belting the 2, and probably could've easily worn a 0. Size wayyyy down! Long enough for a wedding, but hit a few inches above my knees.

Easy breezy
Renting this dress couldn't have been easier. I picked this dress because of its fabulous color. The shape was loose and comfortable, and runs a bit large because of it. The neckline was snug, which I personally loved because I felt secure all night, and wasn't worried about my strapless bra showing or anything. Contrary to other reviews, I didn't think this was too short at all. I am 5'9", and the Small hit right above my knees. I never even tried on the back-up size, but its nice they give you the option just in case. This dress flowed nicely, and the color was great (very vivid in person)
