What a lovely comfy dress
I love asymmetric dresses to offset black. I thought I'd need to go with the medium, ended w the small. The edges are a little frayed at the bottom but you don't notice. It's sexy but elegant. There was boning that stuck out by my left armpit and I used double sided tape to keep it in place.

Small wedding on a resort
Loved the color and it was perfect for a small wedding with an outdoor ceremony during sunset. Comfortable and nice fitting. I used stickies for a bra and was able to fill the chest area.

I loved these! Better quality than buying something, since it was only $5 to rent. It added the right feel to my dress.

MOH dress
I was MOH for a last minute wedding, asked the bride to pick. I love that you get a second size free bc a fellow bridesmaid was able to join last minute and didn't like the dress she ordered from a website so ended up wearing my extra 2L size. I am in the 2R! I am 120 pounds and less toned around the torso. so it felt a little tighter for me there. She felt is was tighter around the hips but from our photo you can see her butt filled it better than mine! Loved how it worked out! Great quality.

The asymmetry adds flair
I really enjoyed this dress! The 2 fit me everywhere but the bust. I'm a 32B so that was weird. It flattened my chest a lot. So I wore the 4 and stuffed my bra to fill that space in and it was a little roomy everywhere else. It was comfy to dance in, I got a lot of compliments and since it was kinda chilly I wore it with closed toe shoes - a first for me but the look was perfect for a January wedding.

Happy New Years in a sequined dress!
I might have to make this a tradition! I rented a sequined dress for NYE last year and was happy to do it again. Rent by October to make sure you get your choice! It fit well and was comfy! It's short so just be careful hehehe.

Power. Blue
This dress was interesting. It was tough to get in because I needed help to get the Xs zipped. It was too tight at the top once zipped and fit well at the bottom. The small fit looser at the bottom waist down but the top was looser as if it was made for someone with a Longer torso. I used double sided tape to keep it up. I think I needed a bigger chest. Not my favorite dress rented via RTR but the color was beautiful.

This was initially a little too hugging but it stretched just the right amount as I moved. Loved how it fit! The small looked like a straight dress on me the xs hugged my petite figure a bit more. Wear a nu bra Bc Any other bra will show through!

Ringing in the new year in sequins
I loved this dress. It was short but didn't ride up so I could show off my legs. I rented this in October in anticipation for New Year's Eve. It was comfortable even if it was sequined. I needed help zipping it up bit was able to take it off. Fun dress!

First time I did not have a good Rtr experience
This dress fit funny on me. It scrunched at the torso, wrinkled easily, the strap was too long. If you're not a busty woman I don't recommend. I liked it because of the unique cut but not flattering on me

Lace and cold shoulders
I was hesitant about the color of this dress but I loved the design so I went for it. I really liked it. Was not worried other people would have this dress at the wedding. The arms were fine and did not hinder me and dancing at all!

Sexy formal dress
I really liked this dress! Comfy and long enough for a wedding. Felt sexy in it but the long sleeve made it appropriate for a wedding in a hotel in the city. It was a little hard to get into. Which is why I chose the small to wear. Did not want to give this dress back.

Kate spade necklace
I got this because it was a discounted rental with my dress. With Kate spade's recent passing I was feeling sentimental. The necklace says love. When I got it I didn't realize you could wear the two layers together or separately. That was kind of neat to have that option. It was lovely.

I liked the dress. I ordered a size 0 and wish I got the size 2 because it was a little bit too snug. Maybe I am outgrowing a size 0. I like the length but it kept me from taking long steps because it was tight. I got compliments on it. I also rented the necklace. At least I was able to dance in it still. My friend is also wearing a rent the runway dress!

the contrast of the length with that thigh slit ...
i did an 8 day rental so i could bring this dress to punta cana for my sister's bachelorette. It was an awesome dress! I wore the pasties that give you one cup added and are no show and it definitely helps with the cut of the top of the dress. i loved the fabric and how thick it was, and not hot even for island weather. it's a brilliant red and i definitely felt sexy in it.

Lace and everything nice
I read reviews that this was smaller than size so I'm glad I tried on the XS AND S. I wore the S to be more comfy. Strapless bra worked well. It was a pain to require assistance in and out of the dress but I was def looked at and complimented for the lacy green romper. I was able to dance and not worry about wearing a short dress because it's a romper ;) I love that RTR takes the stress out of "what shall I wear tonight!?" With a little planning I had a cute outfit for a girls night out in town

Lacy and yellow
I thought the yellow would be a paler color but this color complimented my skin! I was restricted from eating due to the zipper and the stitching not being stretchy. I loved the lace and the yellow. I wish I rented jewelry too since I felt like I had nothing to compliment this dress. It's so fun to wear. I saw a girl wear the blue color version and she bought hers; her face fell when I told her I rented it instead of buying it!

I loved the stripes and color
I loved wearing this dress just to explore Boston on a nice summer day. The slit was def too exposing so I used a safety pin. Especially grateful since the wind def worked the dress. The area where the zipper stopped around my rib cage felt tight. The top slipped easily so I had to continually bring it up and then the tie felt like it was choking me. Double tape fixed all that. I did enjoy the dress regardless.

It was lacy and comfy
I loved the color! I wore dangly pearl earrings and was looking for a bracelet to go with. I wore those pasty bras because of the back. I got a lot of compliments and I felt lovely in it. I was able to dance in it too! Def need help getting zipped in but seriously another successful rental

For my 30th birthday dinner
This dress was definitely brighter than I had expected. The material was this foamy cloth. The slip underneath was longer than the ham of the dress so I double-sided tape it to keep it from peeping through. I wore black patent leather pumps in a black necklace. It is definitely comfortable but I needed help zipping it up in the back. I had to wear pasties because all my bras would peek through the side cut outs. I love the side cut outs which I thought was balanced out by the longer hem.

The fit !
I wore this to my 30th birthday dinner. Afterwards I wore to the club and it was so comfortable I was able to dance in it all night. It did run a little bit short but maybe that's because I am 5'6". I love the color. I wore a nude bra and it didn't show through the sheer top which is also very very pretty!

A dress you don't need to think about, it just goes.
Some renters of this dress commented on the scratchy gold material and they were right, it was a little scratchy but it didnt bother me too much. the dress was tight fitting. I had a little trouble zipping up the side of the dress. But i wore my usual size and wore my "adds 1 cup" bra to make the front fill out more. I opted for dangly gold earrings and a chunkier gold bracelet. I wore strappy black heels. I got a few comments on the dress. People don't believe I rented it. I thought it was perfect for the wedding and I was able to dance and get low in it. The bow in the front was a little frayed though. I snipped the frayed edges and forgot about it. This picture really shows how glittery the front of the dress. It's a darker gold. I wore this for an October wedding.

I just loved the colors and it's brighter in person, not as metallic looking
I wanted to wear this dress to the second wedding I had to attend this year but my friends voted for a different one. I keep coming back to this dress so I finally just rented it. It's so comfortable. I loved the pockets although i didn't really use it. I also enjoyed wearing any kind of underwear because I didn't have to worry about panty lines. I noted how other girls who wore it made remarks about the bra so I wore my victoria secret add 2 cup size strapless and it was perfect. I liked how the bottom had a lining that made it fluff out. It was such a comfortable dress and a great transition from summer to fall. I changed into nude flat sandals to dance but I wore peep toe nude pumps to complete the look.

Comfy yet sexy
I tried on the 2 and the bottom of the hem flipped up, from the dry cleaning maybe? So i tried on the 0 and it fit perfectly with room to spare! I wore a regular bra because of the cut and was happy about that since whenever I wear a strapless I am always adjusting throughout the night. It was so comfortable and soft! The purple is not a wine purple like a deep burgundy but more of a grape purple in person. I loved how it moved with me and i didn't have to spend time pulling it down, like some shorter dresses. I was definitely able to dance and run around freely.

I saw Ne-yo at the Kiss 108 concert! I wanted to rent a romper from RTR for a while.
I tried on the XS and found that it was just right. the back was really neat in that it was exposed back so i wore a cool leopard print bra. I wish i had a thin black belt to put around my middle to make the outside a bit more polished. I wore it with black strappy flats because i was not about to walk around and stand at the concert in black heels. it was comfortable. i was worried that the bottom part was too loose and airy but it looked fine. I can't say i was crazy about this romper, i wish i chose a long pant leg jumpsuit instead.

Devil in a red dress ;)
I loved the way the dress flowed! It hugged my body and left me room to eat. I wore 3.5 inch gold heels and the dress was a little bit above the floor which is perfect because i didn't want to be stepped on. Everyone said it was beautiful. I loved the vibrancy of the red in pictures. It was very comfortable. I wish the slit up the dress was a little bit more revealing. I had to purposefully move my dress for pictures so that it would show! I also wore one of those bras that add a full cup size so I wore the 2R otherwise the OR fit without a bra.
