Strange Material - Kind of like a sweat suit
I wanted to love this dress, but there was just some strange things about it. The material is a thick material that reminded me of a sweat suit. It hung nicely and wasn't too hot, but it felt kind of cheap for a dress that I wanted to wear for a celebration of my wedding. The other thing about that material was that it shows any sort of stitching in it. The dress definitely runs big, and the one that was in my size the hem appeared to have been repaired, so you could see stitch marks along the hem. As usual, RTR was fantastic and fixed it with a replacement dress that I loved, but I think it's important to know what the material is on this one!

Gorgeous! Flowy for summer and elegant
I LOVED this dress. I wore it for a post destination wedding celebration of our wedding held for us by my husbands parents. It was so flattering, perfect on my smaller chest, accentuating a small waist. The material drapes beautifully and I received so many compliments on it. I want to own it I loved it so much

Perfectly Festive & Colorful
I wore this for a "Festive Formal" attire wedding where bride requested everyone be in bright colors and this dress fit the requirements perfectly. It has open panels that keep you cool without being too revealing, POCKETS, and a nice full skirt (albeit with a weird inner hem to keep it full, but that you easily adjust to). The zipper was a little tough, but I received lots of compliments on it and felt gorgeous in it.

Perfect Stylist Surprise Earrings!
I LOVED these! They were just the right size, not too heavy, and just the right amount of sparkle to go with the dress. I went with them as the Stylist Surprise with my dress for New Years Eve and I couldn't be happier. They were way more fun than anything I had in my jewelry box and went perfectly with the dress.

A bit disappointed
Maybe it was the holiday weight gain trying to wear this for New Years Eve, but I just could not bring myself to like this dress. It wasn't at all flattering. Luckily it was just a backup, so it wasn't a big deal and I had something I loved to wear. However, I think the biggest thing to note is that the secondary color on this is definitely NOT white as I thought from the color. It's not even really off white. It's more of a tan and gray color. So be aware of that if you're planning to match shoes!

So much sparkle!
I wore this dress for New Years Eve and even after the holiday weight gain, it was fitted by still very forgiving due to the nice gathering in it. I asked for the stylist pick surprise jewelry and loved the earrings that were included. They matched perfectly. The only thing I didn't like was that the boning in the chest was a little funny. The end of the boning dug right into my chest. Maybe it's because of my small bust, but it just didn't seem to fall in the right place to me. However, I was able to rectify the problem and stay comfortable all night with some cotton balls taped on myself in just the right spot to pad where the end of each bone fell. Thank goodness for the ability to improve in fashion!

Silver Sequin Cocktail Dress

Absolutely Adorable!
I really really loved this dress. It was super cute, not overly dressy, feminine, and very me. I wish I had gotten a picture in it! It fit true to size and made my small bust line push up and look great. I was really thrilled with it. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the flowers were really much more off white than white. It wasn't exactly what I expected and almost made it look a little dingy to me compared to the bright white that seems to be reflected in the pictures.

Perfect for a 20's party!
I didn't LOVE the way this fit at the waist. It was a second order dress, so I only had one size option. It didn't look bad, I just couldn't get it to sit quite exactly the way I like it on my waist line. That said, it was still super cute, I got compliments on it all night, and it was perfect for the party. I just didn't think it was as flattering as I'm used to.

New Years Sparkled!
I LOVED this dress. I got compliments on it all night long. It was comfortable, fun, had the right amount of sparkle, and I could even wear a bra with it. This may be my favorite rental from RTR so far.

Great look but heavy!
I loved these earrings. They were included as a "surprise" item added to my New Year's Eve rental and went perfectly with both of the dress options I'd chosen. However, they were clip ons, which I didn't really like, and they were SUPER heavy. I had to take them off before the night was over because my ears were sore. They looked awesome while I could take it though!

Fabulously 20's styled!
I threw a roaring 20's themed birthday party for myself and this dress was perfect for the affair! I got compliments all night long and it sparkles even more than the pictures show. Perfect for the occasion!

Fantastic party dress!
I wore this on a summer booze cruise and absolutely loved it! It was light, flowy, pretty without being too much, and matched my favorite hot pink heals perfectly. I got compliments all night from people I knew and many I didn't. It definitely runs big. I had originally ordered a 2 and a 4 and they didn't have the backup of the 4 for me so I asked for the 0. Was glad I did because it fit much better than the 2 and the 4 would've been huge. It's playful and fun and you don't have to worry about it falling off or popping out.

Red Hot Date Night
This dress was my first experience with RTR and it was great. I had actually rented a different dress but they didn't have the belt for the dress and offered me a replacement of my choosing. This one was a perfect choice! It's form fitting and a stretchy but forgiving material (not satiny like it looks). Highly reccommend!

Gorgeous dress made for such gorgeous photos I'll treasure forever!
A photographer friend needed a model last minute for a workshop he was teaching to other photographers. I was told to wear a gown that made me feel beautiful and my thoughts immediately went to this dress! I was worried it wouldn't arrive on time (I needed it early the next day) but the RTR support team was so helpful and it arrived with plenty of time before the shoot. The dress has a beautiful flow to it that photographed gorgeously and was lightweight on a hot summer day. I had gotten a 2 and a 4 and the 4 was just a little big, the 2 just a little snug, but the snug was necessary to keep the dress up so I went with the 2. I highly recommend this dress. It made me feel so beautiful!
