Party in comfort
Perfect for the holiday season---sparkly but also very comfortable. I probably could have worn a L--but I didnt order it. The XL was super comfy--my bra was visible through the arm holes, so I went with black. My only complaint is that the buttons on the neck make putting it on a two person job!

Classic with a twist
This dress is amazing. It gives retro vibes with a modern flare--the split brings all the drama and the color is icing on the cake.

Perfect NYE Dress
This dress is drop dead gorgeous AND comfortable. I got so many compliments and felt great all night. EXTRA: the rouching is super forgiving. If you are on the fence---do it.

Flouncy!
This is definitely a flouncy dress. The ruffles add an extra layer of femininity. However, the keyhole was a bit much at the bodice for the average day at the office.

Wonderful Color!
This dress is lovely with interesting details. Though bright red and relatively form fitting, the modest cut makes it work appropriate.

So unique, so comfortable
This dress was both sexy and comfortable, a hard combination to find. I was concerned about how revealing the burnouts might look but they were actually quite muted--making for a memorable dress.

The fabric on this dress is sublime--textured and metallic, the compliments flowed all night. As if that weren't enough, it has pockets. I paired it with black sandals and a chandelier earring .

Endless Compliments
I rent from RTR a lot! This is definitely one of my favorite rentals. The dress is beautifully detailed and amazingly comfortable. Pictures do not do this dress justice. The bodice is beautiful--and the skirt is forgiving. Paired with awesome accessories (care of my PRO style pack)--the outfit was perfect.

Unique and Spacious
I wore these along with the Marchesa Notte Embroidered Cocktail Dress and Black Beacon Stud Earrings. This clutch is amazing. The shape creates a wonderful detail and there is plenty of space for all of your necessities (keys, phone, compact, cards). Never have I felt like my outfit was so perfectly complementary and unique.

Comfortable and unique
The color and style of the dress stand out in a crowd. It was easy to wear and comfortable, great for a night of dancing. Based on other reviews, I wore shaper shorts underneath it to avoid the cut outs exposing too much. As it turns out, I don't think they were necessary. My only complaint is the length/fit of the torso--it wasn't incredibly flattering on my little belly.

Beautiful but large
I loved the look and feel of this bracelet. Unfortunately it is a bit too large for my (oddly slight) wrist. After the second time it fell off of my wrist, I put it in my bag for the rest of the night.

It is taking all of my will power not to buy this clutch. It is perfect--with a pair of jeans or a cocktail dress. Against a solid or a pattern. It fit my iphone, a compact, my keys, lipstick, cash and cards.

This dress looks unimpressive in photos but it's great in real life. The color contrast is amazing and the half cape is icing on the fabulous cake. I was super comfy all night and felt like a rockstar---best of both worlds

I felt like a celebrity
This dress was perfect for a black-tie optional wedding. I got compliments from everyone, men and women, young and old. With more than enough sparkle, the pockets and a high-low hem line to create a comfortable look that was easy to wear as I ate and danced. I was concerned about my bra strap showing through the sheer fabric on the back but it wasnt a problem at all. The only thing I would change is the fit of the top. It was a little large for me though I doubt anyone else noticed. As another review mentioned, the sequin rub the underside of your arm a bit but the slight discomfort is more than worth it. RENT THIS DRESS.

Perfect. Flattering. Sophisticated. Comfortable. This dress is everything you want and more.
Coupled with a simple up-do, gorgeous shoes, a clutch and red lipstick, this dress made the perfect outfit for a formal wedding. I was comfortable and stylish at the same time. I could have worn it for another 4 hours without a complaint.

I wish I owned it!
This dress is wonderful. The deep blue is muted yet stands out in a sea of black cocktail dresses. The asymmetric neckline and skirt detail add a bit of feminine drama without being overwhelming. Major plus is that it can accommodate curvier hips! I wish I could have worn this dress--my backup size wasnt available and much to my dismay, I couldnt fit into the dress that was sent. As has always been my experience, the customer service team at RTR came to the rescue. They sent a different ML dress in the right size; I still got to be the bell of the ball. I have hearted this dress--there will be a day when I get to wear it.

Romantic but a bit juvenille
I love the idea of this dress, it came as a replacement when the Nha Khanh "Sabrina Tulle" dress wasnt available. Though they are similar in design and cut, the white lace overlay on this dress made a poor choice for a NYE cocktail party. I opted to go with another RTR option instead.

Red Carpet Worthy!
I loved the drama of this dress. The color, the muted sweetheart neckline, the peplum, THE TAIL!. I wore it to a NYE cocktail party --everyone loved it; my date even got compliments on the dress. The best part about the story is that this was a last minute backup dress. The dress I originally ordered (also ML) wasnt available in my selected backup size. The RTR team worked frantically to get a replacement out in time for my event. I must say, I lucked out with this one. The only catch is that I am hippy and it was a bit snug through the hips, making zipping it a tagteam effort. All told...I would rent it again and again and again. Though who would be surprised M. Lhuillier makes dresses that are to die for.

Great Value. Perfect for the office holiday party.
This dress was perfect for my office holiday party. The colors were festive and the fabric had enough give to make sitting for a few hours very doable. The only downside: it was a bit snug in the hips. In order to accommodate my hips, I had to size up. Doing so meant that the bodice of the dress was larger than I would have liked. I doubt anyone else noticed but if I could, I would have worn the top from the size 8 and the bottom from the size 10.

I absolutely love this dress. It is just as comfortable as it is sexy, amazing combo.
If you want all eyes on you as you enter (and leave) the room, this is your dress. The necklace detail simply makes this dress. Couple that with the loose fitting waist and full skirt and you have a perfectly complimentary dress. I wore it to homecoming and people who havent seen me in 10 years couldnt stop telling me how great I looked. I'd suggest a little fashion tape around the bodice to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

This dress is incredibly comfortable. Uncoils have worn it for 24 straight hours.
Super high heels are needed to pull this dress off. Otherwise you risk looking like a 12 year old---without a defined waist and brightly colored, this dress be either juvenile or seductive depending on your accessories.

Simply love this dress. I've rented the same style in two different colors.
This dress is essentially a day dress in the front and a party in the back. I found it useful to use fashion tap to adhere the back of the dress to my back, though I dont think doing so is necessary. However, it is necessary that you either go bra-less or done a backless bra.
