Love this dress!
This dress is really lovely on. The fabric is substantial but not heavy. Drapes beautifully and has just enough stretch to be flattering and comfortable. It is very low cut so fashion tape is a must. I am 5’8” and did have to choose lower heels to accommodate a slightly shorter length hem, but the length would be perfect on someone shorter. I would rent this again.

Meh
This was a backup dress and I didn’t end up wearing it. The fabric was stiff and scratchy, and the fit was odd. The hips were snug and the waist was loose. I think it might work for an apple shaped figure but didn’t work for me.

Lovely color
I wore this beautiful gown for my daughters debutante ball and received many compliments. The waist is very fitted (trust the size chart!) but otherwise the dress is flowy, so it was comfortable all night. Length was perfect for me at 5’8” with 3” heels. Would rent again.

Beautiful dress
The vibrant colors of this dress are gorgeous and I loved the shape of it. Tons of compliments, several from complete strangers. The neckline is pretty low cut, so be ready with that fashion tape and use your best posture. At 5'8", I was able to wear 3" heels with the regular length. The thing I didn't like was the snug white underskirt, which is attached to the flowy chiffon skirt. It creates a weird pucker at the top of the slit when you walk. If you're a pear shape, you may need to size up.

Beautiful dress
Loved the fabric of this dress. Vibrant colors and a lovely drape. I'm 5'8" and the regular length was perfect with 3" heels. While the skirt is full and flowy, be aware that there is absolutely no stretch in the waist. TTS on the designer's size chart. Probably wouldn't work well for someone larger than a c cup.

Compliments all night long
This dress is the most gorgeous shade of pink. I wore it to a debutante ball and got compliments from people of all ages. The bodice is very low cut but completely secure without tape. Fabric was nice and light for a summer event, but had a nice drape to it. Really loved wearing this one.

Just OK
I ordered this as a backup style and didn't end up needing it. The fit is true to size and very fitted with not much stretch. It's a good thing the bodice is snug already, because no way could you wear any undergarments with this (everything shows). At 5'8", the regular length would have been too short for me to wear heels. The color is a very pretty lilac. This style just wasn't me, but could be a showstopper on someone shorter.

Hot hot hot
This definitely will get you noticed! The fabric is thick and expensive looking, with a matte finish and nice drape. I'm 5'8" and the Long was actually a hair too long, with 4" heels. This dress has almost no stretch, so I had to size up to fit my curvy hips. This meant the bust and waist were a little roomy, so some bra padding was required to keep things proportional. The mesh insert adds a little extra sexy but also makes undergarments a challenge. Be brave! It's worth it!

Classy, sexy, AND comfortable!
The deep green color and beautiful drape of this gown make it an elegant alternative to basic black. The fabric is thick and stretchy, very flattering and comfortable. I typically wear a 4 or 6, and the small long fit like a glove. At 5'8" the hem just skimmed the floor in 4" heels.

The perfect blend of classy and sexy
This dress is just perfect! Elegant and classy, with an edge. The fabric is thick and stretchy, with a touch of sheen that makes the navy pop. It has enough weight to drape beautifully and smooth over minor imperfections and underwear lines. The neckline is flattering and allows for a standard strapless bra. The slit in the front is very high. For me at 5'8 with a 32" inseam, it hit at upper thigh (about the length of running shorts). Don't rent it if you plan to do a lot of sitting, and DO plan to wear some modest panties. I found it comfortable for walking and dancing, and true to size. The long length was perfect in 4 inch heels.

Pretty top
Very pretty print and soft silky fabric with enough weight to drape nicely. Overall my regular size fit well, but was too low cut for church and a conservative brunch. I wore a camisole to compensate for the plunging neckline, but wish I had ordered up a size instead. The extra fabric in the wrap style would have helped make this a more modest choice. Liked it.

Loved this dress!
I felt absolutely gorgeous in this classic, elegant gown. The fabric is heavy with some stretch, and enough boning to give supportive structure to the bodice. You could wear a strapless bra with it, but I didn't find it necessary. At 5'8" I always wear the long length gowns with 3-4" heels. This one was the first I've rented that was actually too long by about an inch. I loved the overall fit and look so much that I wore it anyway, using safety pins and double stick tape to raise the hem. I would definitely rent this again, but would order the regular length next time. I found it true to size and very comfortable.

Tall girls beware!
At 5'8", I always order the long length gown and wear with heels. This style did not come in long length, but I gave it a try with the knowledge that I'd have to adjust my shoe choice accordingly. What I didn't realize is that the long length gowns aren't just longer in the hem. The overall proportion of this dress was shorter: the neckline, waist, and hip all hit me at the wrong spot. The fabric has no stretch, which might have helped a little. Although I measure a 4 in this designer, I chose to wear the 6 because sizing up gave me almost an extra inch in length overall. My regular size 4 was the correct width at bust, waist, and hip BUT it was so short in the neck that it was choking me. On the plus side, it's a lovely vivid color and photographs well. I'm glad I tried it but would not rent this one again.

Sparkly!
Rented this dress for a New Year's Eve ball. It is the kind of dress that looks sort of "meh" on the hanger but really pops when you put it on. I got many compliments and felt beautiful. The sequins are a little scratchy, but that's the nature of sequins. According to the size chart for this designer, I measured a size small. The dress is stretchy and I could get the small on, but the medium was a better fit. If you are tall like me, you'll need the extra inch in length that comes with sizing up.

So glamorous!
One of my favorite rentals so far! The color is a bit more pink than red in person, but it's deep, vibrant, and beautiful. The fabric is thick and stretchy with a soft finish, very comfortable. Long length was perfect for me at 5'8" with 3" heels. Best for athletic figures, as every bump and lump will show, as would the edge of any undergarment you wore to disguise them.

Love this dress
This was my second time to rent this dress, and I loved it again! The color is a subtle and elegant alternative to formal black, and the fabric is substantial enough to hug your curves and drape just right. The lace insets are a bit scratchy but really add interest to the otherwise simple design. The description says there's no stretch, but I disagree. I'm 5'8" and the longer length worked perfectly with 3" heels.

Elegant and comfortable
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this gown had a built in shaper layer. The fabric was thick and smooth, no need for special undergarments. I'm 5'8" and the hem of the long just brushed the floor with 3" heels. I felt classy and beautiful, while comfortable all night. Loved this one!

Pretty
These were pretty and different, but I didn't wear them because they were a bit too much for the occasion. Not too heavy and looked expensive, just more than what I needed for random date night. Would be gorgeous and modern for a formal affair.

So glam!
Loved this jumpsuit. Very glam, easy to dress up or down depending on accessories and shoes. Runs short; the regular came to an inch or two above my ankles at 5'8", but since it was spring i just pretended it was meant to be a crop length. Many many compliments from random strangers! If you're a pear like me, be prepared to get creative with safety pins and fashion tape. The bottom half was true to size and the top fit about two sizes too big for me, but after my adjustments and a padded strapless bra it worked out well. Overall great rental.

Bold and beautiful
This was my first jumpsuit experience, and I absolutely loved everything about it! The color was gorgeous and fabric had a nice drape. I was worried about the logistics of a solo potty break, but had no trouble getting this on and off without assistance. My normal size 8L fit through the waist and hips but was a bit short through the crotch and gaped oddly at the bust, so I wore the 10L. The larger size was a little loose but worked with a padded strapless bra and tightly cinched belt. I am 5'8" and the long perfectly swept the top of my toes in 3" heels. A complete stranger told me I looked like a model, and that's how I felt all night!

A fun pop of color with my black tie gown
This ring is a simple chunky little pop of red that was fun to wear with a black formal gown. The big red stone has a rich color and a simple gold tone setting, with tiny clear brilliants at the four corners. This piece really grew on me by the end of the night. It was comfortable on my index finger, so I would guess the actual ring size is 7.

My favorite rental so far!
This dress looks absolutely gorgeous on. The lace is thick and soft, and the inner corset gives it enough structure to wear without additional bra support. The skirt is very fitted through the hips and upper thigh, then flows nicely to the floor with a slight train tail at the back hem. I ordered the 8L and the 10L, and chose to go with the larger size because I am pear shaped and needed more space in the hip for comfortable movement. This meant that the corset was a bit loose on me, but it worked once I added stick on padded cups and cinched up the belt. I'm 5'8" and long perfectly skimmed the floor with 3 inch heels. Loved wearing this!

Beautiful dress
Fabric was rich and had beautiful flow and drape. The waist is fitted but skirt is very full and forgiving in the hips. I found the top to be less low cut than in the model picture, and was able to comfortably go without bra or fashion tape. The long was not available, but the regular was just right with 2 inch heels on me at 5'8". Loved this dress!

Fun and easy rental experience as always!
I rented this shirt for a daytime outdoor party. It paired best with slim jeans, but I stayed cool and comfortable because of the breezy open cut and soft fabric. I wore a bralette with it to avoid flashing anyone. The shirt is a bit oversized, but I'm tall so chose not to size down due to the cropped length. Overall, not my usual style but I enjoyed trying it out for this event. Flattering, comfortable, received many compliments.

Perfect Easter dress!
I loved the fit and fabric of this dress. The lace is more of a cotton crocheted fabric, very soft and heirloom style, but not as formal as I was expecting. It was flowy and forgiving through the skirt with a more fitted bodice and very snug sleeves. In my regular size 8, it was way too low cut. Once I sized down to the 6, it was modest enough to wear to church without a camisole. I felt very pretty in this and received many compliments. Great rental!

I didn't end up wearing this because it didn't look right with the specific outfit I rented it for. But it was very pretty, nice quality, and well packaged for shipping. Priced at only $5, totally worth taking a chance on. This would add a bold pop of color for a neutral dressy casual look.

Fun top to brighten up any day
Pretty flowy top, fun print and nice fabric. This runs large and is too low cut to wear in public without a camisole. Paired nicely with jeans and might also work with slacks and a blazer for a bit dressier look. Overall fun change of pace from my usual style, at a great price. Just one more reason I love using RTR.

This was my first RTR, and I am so glad I tried it. Loved this dress, got so many compliments and felt gorgeous wearing it. My backup size was not available so I relied on user reviews to choose my best fit. Loved having the option to select different lengths, as this is always an issue for me. The 8L was perfect with 3" heels. Will definitely rent again!
