Comfort in the front, party in the back!
I was nervous about renting this dress as it is not my usual style but I. Loved. It. It was extremely comfortable and with 4in heels the train in the back was the perfect length. You can see a bra through the back, but personally I wore a regular black bra and I felt it didn't diminish the beauty of the dress. There is no built-in support so if you're larger in the chest area, you'll need something! I will be looking out for this dress in the final sale section ;)

Didn't wear it, but absolutely stunning
This was my "mystery bling" for a dress rental; unfortunately my dress choice was changed at the last minute, and so this necklace didn't match the dress I ended up wearing. However, it is a beautiful piece of jewellery, really light and delicate! I was very sad I didn't get to wear it.

Too long, didn't wear; colour not quite like the photo
This was a last minute choice after both my dresses I had originally booked became unavailable. It it very pretty, but the colour is not as it seems on the webpage. On the site it looks like the sequins range from dark blue to teal and silver; in reality, it is simply dark blue. Still pretty, but not what I expected. Ultimately I didn't wear this dress as it was far too long for me even with 5" heels and the fabric didn't flow well touching the ground.

A great statement necklace.
I don't normally wear large necklaces but wanted something to give something extra to the relatively simple black gown I rented. This was perfect. It was very comfortable to wear and I got lots of compliments on it!

Great quality, no stones missing, and just the right amount of bling.

Smoking hot, and that's a fact!
I wore this dress to a masked ball and chose it for 3 reasons: 1. I've been coveting it, 2. It comes in a petite length, and 3. It matched my mask! It was a squeeze to get the zip done up but once it was on it was a perfect fit and comfortable. Wore with 5in heels and the dress just brushed the floor. Perfect. Absolutely loved this dress and would rent it again!

Pretty, but didn't wear
Lesson learned: read the description!! I looked at the photo and thought these were an "off-silver", however when they arrived they were gold and didn't match any of my other jewellery, so I didn't wear them. They also looked like they'd seen better days, with some small stones missing. All in all they were pretty, it's just my poor observation that let me down!

So pretty that two of us at the same ball wore it!!
I've given this dress 3 stars not because of the fit, which was perfect, or the length, which was also perfect on my 5'1" frame with 4" heels. I got a lot of compliments on it, but it lacked that certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes me do the happy dance when I put a dress on. A pretty dress, just didn't quite have the "wow" factor for me personally!

I felt like a princess...loads of compliments on a special night!
I wore this gown to a Navy ball and it was a massive hit! I got a lot of compliments from total strangers and felt a million dollars :) it was pretty tight in the bust for me so it was a bit uncomfortable sitting down. But when I was standing it was perfect. I knocked one star off for the length. The fit notes said a Regular length would fit 5'1" - 5'3" with 3-4" heels. I am 5'1" and wore 5" heels and the dress was still an inch or two too long, requiring me to hitch it up to dance and walk very very carefully! It wasn't a major issue, but if you're short like me I would recommend a Petite length if possible.

Sadly a bit too big, but still got lots of compliments :)
This was a dress that was overnighted to me by RTR after my first choice didn't fit (GREAT service, guys!). Unfortunately this dress was also a bit too big in the bust area but I didn't realise this until I was moving around at the wedding and had to keep pulling it up. In the end a friend of mine pinned me into it and it was much better. It also looked a little worse for wear in the sense that I think it is at the end of it's rental life. That said, I got lots of compliments about it. Definitely was a great outfit, but I was surprised at the large fit in the bust given that I'm not the smallest in that area!

So sparkly!!
I LOVED these bracelets and would consider buying them. I only wore 3 out of the 7 or 8 cos I have small wrists and the full amount was overwhelming, but 3 was perfect. They were incredibly sparkly. Would consider buying them!

Beautiful earrings that were comfortable and not too big
Loved these! Knocked a star off just because one of the ear posts was a bit bent when they arrived. But they went great with my outfit for a friends wedding. Lots of compliments!

So sad I couldn't wear this **beautiful** dress!
This dress is stunning, truly, but as previous reviews have said the straps are far too long. The size 0 fit me like a glove through the body, but there was 1.5-2 inches of extra fabric in the straps and they were falling off my shoulders just looking in the mirror. I attempted to pin them, but due to the thickness of the fabric is was impossible with my limited sewing skills! For someone with a longer torso than mine the straps may be manageable, but because of my "diminutive stature" it just didn't work for me. I am so sad that I can't wear it :( However, full marks to RTR who are now overnighting me a replacement dress free of charge so I can still look fab for my friend's wedding tomorrow!

I felt like a rock star princess...lots of compliments!
I LOVED this dress. RTR are lucky to be getting it back :) fitted like a glove and had several people on the night ask me where I got it. The only practical issue was getting the lace on the neckline to lie flat, and the skirt lace also had to be rearranged especially when I'd been sitting a long time etc. But that was a small price to pay for a VERY special dress!
