Simple but elegant.
I really liked this dress, it is simple but still pretty. I was a think enough material that I felt was still appropriate for winter even though it was sleeveless. It was a little snug for me around the rib area and arms, the top bunched up right at the top of the dress in the front (see second photo) but that may have been due to the snugness in that area. Overall, I was still happy with this dress and was comfortable.

Loved everything about this dress. Beautiful!
This was a perfect dress for a (Southern California) winter wedding. I loved the gold lace! The inside layer, lining, was a bit snug so I went with the 10 instead of the 8. Also the skirt lining is a bit shorter but not very noticeable because of the outer layer. Other than that, I loved the dress and would rent it again, it was a beautiful dress.

Absolutely loved this dress
This was, by far, my most favorite dress I have rented from RTR. I got many compliments, even some from complete strangers as I walked passed them. If there was an option to purchase this dress I would in a heartbeat. I was a little confused about the sizing, the size says 44/ US 6 but I am a size 10 (US) and 44 fit fine. ( I saw another reviewer who rented this dress and she was also a 10, so I decided to try it out. I'm glad I did.) I don't have slim arms but they aren't thick either, I say that because there isn't any stretch in the arms so if you tend to have bigger arms it may be snug. The hem of this dress hit mid thigh but I was still able to sit comfortably and dance freely during the wedding reception, I would however be cautious if you have to bend over for whatever reason. I loved the color of this dress, the metallic gold was beautiful and the colors mixed in (pinks, greens) made it the perfect spring dress. This dress has pockets which is a little added bonus (in my opinion). It is a pricey rental but if you want to stand out I would definitely recommend it. Unfortunately, I only have cell phone pics. If there happens to be a better picture from an actual camera I will update the photos so you can see the colors in the dress better.

Beautiful detail and color
I really liked this dress and thought it was beautiful, however, I did not wear it. I ordered it as a back up but ended up going with my original choice. I like to order back up dresses in case one dress just doesn't look good on me. I have many curves, some I could stand to lose so not every dress looks right on my body. I wish I took a picture to share but I will say the mid section of this dress has no stretch and this dress was a little snug on me, not too snug but a just right fit. I'm thinking sitting down in it might've been a little uncomfortable for me but I can't say for sure since I didn't not wear it out. I did try to point out any negatives but as I mentioned before I did like this dress and would be willing to rent it again.

Comfortable and cute
I wore this to a before noon bridal shower. I wore it with flats to make it more appropriate for the time of day. The hem hit mid thigh but it didn't rise too much when I sat down, which is a problem I tend to run into when I wear short dresses. This dress was super cute and very comfortable. Since this dress is supposed to have a little room, there is no issue with the lace not being stretchy. I loved this dress for a casual event, but I'm sure it could be dressed up as well.

Fun with a bit of sexy
I loved the open back of this dress. The material was thick so even with the openness of this dress I wasn't cold, even indoors with air conditioning. I did have to constantly pull the dress down when I walked. I probably could have avoided that if I went down a size but the 10 fit better overall and didn't hug my love handles (which would've made it look like a muffin top). Also, with the size I choose the top hook did keep coming undone. Since I sat down most of the time it wasn't that big of a deal for me. The bottom of the dress hit about an inch or 2 above my knee so for me it definitely wasn't too short. All in all I did like this dress and it was fun to wear.

Gold = fun!!
This was a fun dress to wear. I loved the gold sequins! The dress fit just right. It went a little above my knees but wasn't too short where I wasn't able to sit down comfortably. It hit about mid-thigh sitting down. I liked that it had sequins but I didn't want them to be super shiny and they were not. The sequins were also sewn in a way where the sequins didn't flip up. (Some sequined dresses have that problem and can take away from the look of the dress) Overall this was a great party dress.

There's nothing more girly than pink and lace!
I loved this dress, it was very feminine and so pretty. The lace gave it a romantic feel but at the same time it felt sexy. It fit me just right. One reviewer mentioned the top doesn't stretch much and that is true but it didn't feel constricting or too tight on my arms. I was able to comfortable bend and move my arms without worrying about ripping the lace. The dress hit just above my knee so it wasn't too short. (I am 5'5", so obviously the taller you are the shorter it may be on you.) Again, I loved this dress. I would definitely wear this dress again.

Fun & flirty!!
This dress was super cute and perfect for a evening birthday party bash. I love how the sequins make the dress shimmery but not too sparkly. The dress does have a sheer black lining (probably cotton) to prevent the dress from being see through. It is racer back but I decided to wear a regular bra since I didn't want to purchase a bra just for the night, this can be ok with the dress but it all depends on your style. It is a short dress (the dresses I rent usually are longer on me than the model because I am shorter) I did expect that with this dress but that wasn't the case this time. It was only really a problem for me when I was sitting down. (although I don't recommend bending over either!) The sequins can also get itchy when sitting down for a while. Even with the small issues I encountered I still loved the dress.

Sexy but subtle.
This was a cute dress for a spring wedding. There are openings (slits) just below the waist and at the hem of the dress as well (which you can't see very well from the picture. This wasn't a bad thing unless you are tall, then you might have a chance of exposing your under pants if you bend over. It was a comfortable fit and added a little bit of sexiness with the slits.

Beautiful dress, possibly too big.
Luckily, I choose 2 different dresses for a wedding. I didn't end up wearing this one because the molding in the top (bra area) was a little too much so there was a funny bump when I put the dress on. Maybe a size smaller would've been a better fit (I chose a size up as my second size) but I ended up wearing the second style. The 3 stars are because I did love the look of this dress but I couldn't give it 5 because I couldn't wear it.

Perfect (sleeveless) winter dress!
This dress was gorgeous, I loved the color and print. The trim was leather which added a subtle but nice touch. I say this was a perfect winter dress because it was heavy, the material is thick so even though it is sleeveless it may be a little too hot for summer. The hem went just above my knee about an inch or 2. Loved the dress and everything about it.

Perfect for a holiday party.
I think this dress fit well, the top was a little snug and low cut (which I'm sure is how it's supposed to fit), but if you have a full bust it will show a lot of cleavage. The bottom hit a couple inches above my knee. All in all, a beautiful dress.

I loved the dress and the color was beautiful.
This dress was a nice fit, snug fit in the bust area and hit just above my knees (Sorry I didn't have a full body picture). The colors in the dress are actually navy and gold.
