I rented this dress for my husband‘s holiday work party. It was very fun to wear and I got lots of compliments. The cutouts and open back are definitely revealing so confidence is a must to pull it off. I did find myself tugging down the upper part of the back throughout the night because of being self-conscious about back fat, but overall I loved wearing this dress and would definitely rent again!

This was the first time I've used RTR and it was a great experience. I rented this dress for our five year anniversary dinner at Alinea in Chicago. It was my first visit to a 3-Michelin star restaurant and I definitely felt like the dress was exactly the right level of formality. The silver brocade skirt (yes, it looks white in the pics but it has beautiful silver stiching IRL) has an amazing, asymmetrical shape and a rich feel. The bodice is a stretchy black material, with a lovely deep back that I expected would necessitate pasties or a special bra. My regular strapless ended up working fine and didn't show, so it's not as deep as it looks. Other reviews mentioned the straps being too big, and I definitely agree. I rented a 4 and a 6, and the waistband was too tight on the 4. The 6 fit great in the waist but the straps kept wanting to fall down when I was sitting (which was the whole night). I would definitely expect to use some fashion tape on the straps. The other reviews are also correct about the difficulty maneuvering the zipper between the two fabrics. I couldn't get it zipped myself and had to recruit help. All in all, though, it was a perfect dress for an unforgettable evening. Side note: I picked the dress up in person at RTR's new Chicago store and it is BEAUTIFUL. It's like walking into every girl's dream closet!!!!
