Finicky belt
It was ok- I thought it looked sharp and good for spring when I put together an outfit, but the belt would not stay cinched and loosened up quickly so I had to keep pulling on it. The resulting look was more frumpy than polished, unfortunately.

Cowgirl vibe
I couldn’t tell this from the photos online, but when it arrived, the collar and seams on the front gave major cowgirl vibes, which I was not expecting (or going for!). I didn’t wear it.

A stand out piece
No shrinking violet in this sweater- it is so cute and even though it's $500, I keep thinking about it and wish I could own it. Would absolutely rent again.

Thin and cheap
Didn't realize that there was a glittery thread throughout the fabric, which wasn't clear from the photos, and made it look cheap and inappropriate for work. Also, it was quite tight, so not wearable for me.

Simple but stunning
I was worried this might be too boring or matronly but it is stunning and sexy. Form fitting but good fabric that hugs in all the right spots, so I felt like a million bucks.

Nothing special, unfortunately
Not flattering on me. Probably meant for someone shorter: the waist was several inches above my natural waist and the hem didn't hit my knees as I hoped, so the proportions looked off.

Beautiful dress for a special event
Sized up due to more form fitting nature in the hip area. Lovey dress!

Work appropriate but party ready
Loved this dress- I'm glad I went with the large (I'm usually a medium in most brands) to ensure it wrapped properly around my bust and hips. I loved it so much I went home and bought it, as it is versatile and can be worn for multiple occasions.

Standout dress, beautiful and flowy
A beautiful dress that draws attention. Received multiple compliments all day. It has a lot of volume in the sleeves and skirt, which could be overwhelming on a shorter and smaller frame, but felt great for my 5'10 height. On sizing, I probably could have gone with a six, given that there is plenty of room for bigger hips. I fluctuate between a 6, if the primary measurement is on my waist (29") and a 8 or 10 if more form fitting in the hips (mine are 42") It's a special standout dress I would rent again.

Fun dress silhouette and pattern
I felt good in this dress- it's a flattering silhouette and was work appropriate with a blazer. I'm not especially busty, but it is a little low cut, if you are trying to pull this off for work and sensitive about how much decolletage to show. It was fun to wear once, but I probably wouldn't rent again.

Thin fabric and felt cheap
What's the point of having RTR unlimited if you're not taking a few risks and ordering things you might not otherwise buy or try?? Rented these thinking they would be a fun addition to a work ensemble. At least for my business-more-formal-than-casual profession, these felt and looked cheap, in my opinion. Thin fabric and only a clasp closure that did not feel sturdy. Did not wear. I am typically an 8 in pants, but a 10 in higher fashion designer bottoms. The 10 fit but were a little more bodycon than felt work-appropriate.

Beautiful fabric, love the neckline!
This is a lovely dress I never would have selected from the website- the picture does not do it justice. An RTR saleswoman picked this out in store after I made a risky choice online that did not pay off. It wasn't until I put it on that I realized how beautiful a gown it is. The fabric is lovely and the deep V adds a lot of sex appeal for a relatively simple silhouette. Sorry about my photo- it is the only one I took all night!

Jasmine Rainwater Dress
HALSTON

Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 10"

Bust: 34C
Fun, flirty dress for a special occasion
It was a little shorter than I had anticipated- on the model it looked like it would hit just above the knee, so I was a little surprised that hit at least 6 inches above my knee. Probably not an issue for shorter women, but tall gals take note. The extra flare on the hip and neckline made the shorter hemline ok, though, and it felt appropriate for an evening semi-formal wedding. It was a fun dress and I received lots of compliments!

Stunning color, sexy and sophisticated
The color is much more vibrant than the dress on the model- which I expected and hoped for based on photos provided by other renters. It's beautiful and the lace makes it sophisticated and classy- the color and fit makes it fun and sexy.

A must for RTR customers
If you rent a dress from RTR once, you will rent again. So, RTR Pro is definitely the way to go.

It was ok, nothing special
The pictures of other women in this dress look great; just not for me. Wouldn't rent again. As a broad-shouldered gal, I didn't feel like the top of the dress/ the straps were flattering. On my 5'10 frame, it was mid-thigh, which was fine for NYE but a little shorter than I am used to!

Beautiful color
Loved the color and pattern- it is really beautiful. The cut and length made it feel a bit more "buttoned-up" than I was hoping, which made it perfect for the office holiday party but not as fun as I was hoping for dinner with friends the next night. I normally wear a six with most designers, but I went with the 8 for this dress as the fabric is not forgiving and the straight down cut of the skirt was quite snug around my hips.

Beautiful color, stunning dress
The color is bright and beautiful, the keyhole back really ups the sexy factor. It was knee length on my tall frame and fit like a glove- I felt like a million bucks and received a lot of compliments. It was definitely a special dress for a special occasion (engagement party). I didn't wear a bra with the dress (the back doesn't allow for it) but some may want to invest in cups if they have to go up a size to accommodate hips and/or if they have a smaller chest. It was a little snug in the hips, but the 8 became totally shapeless on me (and the dress was not in as good condition as the 6...) so I opted for the smaller size.
