Loved the flowy bottom!
The dress was gorgeous- I particularly loved the bottom of it which flowed around my ankles. Stunning dress!

One of my very favorite dresses - ever
Loved this dress! It fit beautifully and was wonderful. The chest has some strange darts, but other than that, it's a terrific dress for a curvy girl!

Unusual dress & lots of compliments
I loved the color of this dress and the hemline, but the top didn't fit very well. It showed too much "side boob", and I had to wear a dark grey tank top under the dress. The tank top straps kept showing on the sides of the top, so I had to keep a shawl draped around my shoulders all night. It was a pretty dress, and I did get lots of compliments, but I was relieved to send it back to RTR.

This was my "mystery bling" and I couldn't have been happier! The panther was gorgeous and the bracelet complemented my dress perfectly. Loved it!

Loved this dress- will rent again!
This was my back-up dress, which made the decision about which dress to wear very hard because it was A-MAZING! I ended up going with the other one, but I want to rent this again for my next event. Word of warning, the zipper sticks right where the extra fabric at the waist is - it might need some wax or something so that it can zip easier. The black shimmery fabric is beautiful and I love the short in front/long in back look. Very pretty!

Beautiful color!
This dress was beautiful, but the one I received looked like it had been washed too many times. Also, it fit pretty small in the bust area. I really liked how it showed off my pretty shoes, and also loved the pockets.

These earrings were wonderful!
The earrings look like they would be heavy, but they are not. They came as my stylist "Mystery Bling" and I cannot be happier. I loved the way they looked with my gown.

Interesting dress- good for travel
Very shapeless dress- I paired it with a silver belt to give it some shape. This was not very flattering. The ruffle at the top was the backside of the material - which made it look like it's made poorly. Not my favorite dress.

Beautiful color of dress but the material is difficult
The skirt part of the dress kept wanting to come up. It's a dress that's better for someone younger- it has a youthful cut and appearance.

I loved this dress- truly breathtaking!
The dress is very forgiving, but I wore shape wear anyway, for those pics from the side. It really accentuates an hourglass figure. I received complements from perfect strangers. So many people have said that I should make the pic of me in this dress my profile pic on Facebook. Just a beautiful and glamorous dress all around!

The Corset-like mid-section really slims your figure! Gorgeous!
Loved the fit of this dress - so sexy, yet elegant. It was extremely tight, with a corset-like mid section, which puts all of your bits and pieces exactly where they should be, This is a 2-pairs-of-spanx dress. It hit me exactly at the knee, which made me look especially nice when walking because of the fit. The beading at the top was simply gorgeous. I found shoes to match the beading and declared victory. It is the perfect LBD.

Beautiful clutch fit 2 iPhones, some tic tacs and lipstick!
BEAUTIFUL CLUTCH! Stunning! I fit two iPhones, a pack of Tic Tacs, a tube of lipstick, and stuffed my money and credit card in the side pocket. It was amazingly roomy for such a little purse. It easily closed and stayed closed, even when stuffed. Would rent again!

A very sparkly, comfortable dress! Lots of compliments!
This was the perfect Holiday Cocktail Party dress. The deep emerald color was beautiful without being over the top, and the sleeves made me comfortable because the room was slightly chilly. Other ladies in strapless dresses were cowering under their shawls. I wore it with 2 pairs of Spanx, just so that my profile was good, but I could have worn the dress without the Spanx. It is roomy around the tummy, but has pleating to hide your flaws. The first time I tried it on, I had a hard time getting into the sleeves, but then I learned the secret of stepping into the dress and pulling it up, rather than pulling it down over my head - easy peasy to get the sleeves on that way. The cut was low, but not too low to be worn to the office Christmas party. Loved the dress! It's a great dress for us "hour glass figure" girls.

This was my stylist surprise and I loved it! I wore a pink dress with sparkly silver necklace, earrings, bracelet, silver shoes and this purse was the icing on the cake. It easily fit 2 iphones, car keys, lipstick, money and tickets - just perfect. It was a wonderful addition to my outfit!

Exquisite necklace! Lots of compliments! Steals the show!
I loved this necklace! I wore it for 2 fancy parties and then to a casual dinner with a silver tank top and black button down shirt. The only downside is that I got more compliments on my necklace than I did on my fabulous dresses. :) It's lightweight and stunning.

Beautiful color. Very form fitting. Fun!
This dress is a beautiful color and so fun! It is very form-fitting, so be sure to wear spanx - maybe 2 pairs of spanx... maybe 2 pairs AND some control top nylons. lol. I wore it to a holiday party and it was great. Did I mention that I loved the color?

Beautiful material, forgiving around the mid section, pretty color
This dress is beautiful - but it is not a conservative dress if you are bigger than a b cup. I am a D cup and absolutely could not wear a bra and had to have the empire line hit me mid-breast, or I would have shown the entire tops of my girls. I rented this for a work cocktail party thinking it was conservative and feminine. I almost couldn't wear it because of how it fit at the bustline. If you can tell from the picture, I had to tie that halter at the neck within an inch of its life to make sure the top of the dress stayed as high as possible. If I was NOT going to a work party, I may have worn a bra and put the empire line where it was supposed to go for that "VAVAVOOM" sexy look. I am a pretty predictable size 10 and I thought I would have to definitely wear the 44, but the 42 actually fit me better. It nipped in at the waist and was more flattering. The dress isn't that tight and surprisingly comfortable. I wore spanx underneath, but probably could have gotten away without it. I matched the bow at the top with black bows on my high heels (can't see in the picture). I rented the Badgley Mischka Crystal Cluster necklace and earrings and received a lot of rave reviews. Overall, it is a good dress if you are small busted or are large chested and want that super sexy look. I forced it to work for me and it wasn't perfect, but still received plenty of compliments. You'll love the beautiful material and gorgeous royal purple color. It's very classy.
