Looks like everything, feels like nothing!
This is not my normal go to style but I’m so thankful for the reviews or else I don’t think I would have selected this dress. First it feels like a dream. Light and airy and the slit makes a difference. Wore to a wedding (June) and it was 94° and I was cool as can be. The broader shoulder allowed a basic x back or racerback bra and the length for me with 3” heels was perfect. Mind you I sat in a car for 2 hours before and it barely wrinkled. I danced in it and felt amazing and just tied a regular bow in the back with the fabric. I wore with pearl and gold drop earrings and a simple gold and pearl bracelet. One of my favorite rentals and thanks to all who wrote reviews.

Unique details with a classic fit
I really loved this dress and wore it for my graduation. The details are so lovely. The fabric is linen, and it does wrinkle a bit, but I was sitting for a few hours in it. It was pretty comfortable and I would say true to size you and could wear normal undergarments, which I always appreciate. The dress would be great for a baby or bridal shower, a casual wedding, but not for every day, in my opinion, I got a ton of compliments on the hem and the detail, and the colors is really nice like a dusty blue.

Gave ‘thanks’ for this rental!
Wore in Turkey Day - it was so comfortable and light to wear. Not heavy at all so probably better in early fall but still the braided detail just gave this sweater a lift. I got an XS and the crop was just right. Anything shorter would have been too short, so just pair with higher waisted pants - I wore a bodysuit underneath as I didn’t want any skin showing (while sitting or reaching). Super cute & happy I rented.

Simple Fun
I’ve been eyeing this sweater for a while and very glad I rented it. It’s pretty warm and went great with black cropped pants and booties. It just brought all the flair so I didn’t stress about shoes or accessories. It’s such a statement sweater I don’t feel the need to buy it and just check it off my ‘rental want’ list.

Checked all my boxes!
I’m really glad I rented this for a family dinner. It was perfect and not too flouncy. I wore the XXS and it fit perfectly and length wasn’t too short when sitting. It’s double lined and has pockets. Fabric was wrinkly it’s like a gauze type cotton (no stretch) but it worked with the dress. A great rental value, buying it was a little out of my comfort zone price.

Cute for Mother’s Day
I love this dress! So happy I rented and really want to keep it. It’s heavier fabric so perfect for slightly warm days in Spring or a cool summer night, but a hard no in August. I paired it with 2 1/2” heeled sandals and it was a perfect length for my 5’4” frame. It was fitting in the waist but for the bust it worked. The straps are adjustable and gave me the perfect fit and I paired it with a denim jacket that compliments the look.

Classic & Warm!
I’m not a skirt fan but I’m glad I tried this! My anniversary is in February so this was perfect for dinner. I didn’t want to wear tights but I chose to since it was so cold. It would have worked either way. I paired the skirt with black booties and a black bodysuit. It was cozy warm and comfortable when sitting & walking. The length was perfect and I’ll probably rent again or buy. If you like to feel wrapped in a warm blanket this is for you!

Pretty & Warm
I really want to buy it! It’s perfect mix of a masculine sweater and feminine colors to make the best fall option for cooler temps. It was warm, roomy, and not itchy. The length was at the hips on me and dressed up my white tee, jeans and birks on a day that was warm but got cold as the sun went down.

High Holiday dress
Finding something to wear for services ales me every year. With that said I wasn’t too judgmental. The dress is beautiful with vibrant colors and is very easy to wear. The fit was a bit too big for my Liking but for a conservative setting, it was fine. Also I wore a tank top underneath and it helped keep me warm in A/C. I didn’t take a pic (sorry) but I paired it with black tights and patent leather heels. If you’re smaller framed it will hang on you.

Party shirt! Bought it!
Super fun and light, I adore this shirt. Ended up buying it. The fit was perfect for me and the fabric very manageable. I love crazy prints paired with simple basics so a happy add to my closet. Don’t have the best pic but you can’t go wrong with this. Wore it to a beach music festival.

Size up and short
I wore this to a late show at a music festival and so glad I got the backup size. It’s a fun dress glamming up sweats. I wore it with sneaks to sty cute but comfy. The sleeve is everything. I’m 5’4” and about 115 (wore the S) and if you’re taller or bigger go for the M bc I wore the small and it was snug. I wish it had pockets bc in that area there was a little more fabric so it does bulge out a bit but still a cute dress. The color was great and there is a side zipper that I discovered after I put it on. The photo is from after the show so it does wrinkle a bit.

I’d BUYit
If it weren’t for the reviews I would have never rented this. Also my usual XS wasn’t available so I chose the S as a second option. It fit just to my liking as I wore it to high holiday services and didn’t want it to be too tight. I was able to wear regular undergarments and it was not see through despite the light color. It’s not too thick but perfect for cooler temps. I liked ho simple it was but classic and I think it made me look taller.

Bump friendly & good length
First I love the fabric of this top/dress. I am 5'4" and 24 weeks pregnant here. It's perfect for vacation and didn't really wrinkle. Ties at shoulders were easy and a strapless bra was fine. It runs large IMO but the XS was the only option. I'm very happy I rented this.

Loved this & felt cute!
Hi. 24 weeks pregnant and loved this rental for a dinner in SoBe. It was comfortable, classic, and the perfect fit. My usual size would have been an XS as I'm 5'4" and 110 lbs (I'm about 126 here). Reading reviews I know to size up to make space for my bump a chest. I didn't feel like I was stretching the dress at all. I did wear shaper underneath just to keep party lines away, but the fabric is decent and you can wear any bra.

Perfection! You can't NOT feel pretty in this dress, but it runs small. Tight in the torso but it does stretch. I could barely squeeze into the S and I did wear it. It's definitely slim cut. So I certainly would size up. I probably would have work a M if I got one. I got good compliments and felt great! I'd totally rent again.

Although it took a little getting used to, this bag is so perfect. I loved the color and the fun tassel detail. I used it for work but it wasn't a great replacement for my work tote. The color is lovely and fits well. A great rental. Considering purchasing.

Beautiful dress!
I had tried this on in the DC store just as a whim and I really loved the colors. Really lovely grey/violet type pattern. Regular undergarments can be worn. Side torso zip and lined. I paired with black booties as it was about 25 degrees out. It's a fun dress and really could be worn year around. I loved that I'm 5'4 and I could wear long without it dragging. My only change would be to add pockets bc it bellowed out on the sides anyway. Rent it and have fun.

Fun & dramatic.
I didn't wear this as I chose another dress but it was a great dress and I would probably rent again for something else. The cape and color contrast gives it a nice touch of drama. I love that it's shorter. I'm 5'4 and I felt it hit the perfect part of my leg that is most flattering. If you're tall though, I'd be aware. It was a little big, but totally comfortable and a dress you can eat, a lot, in.

Fun dress. A little flair to the basic LBD. I chose another dress to wear but I would totally rent this. Size is good and top is tight. I loved that there was an open back but a normal bra was doable.

Great dress for the right body type.
I wanted to love this dress so badly! I love everything about it but the fit was just off for me. The seam at the waist was just too tight for me so it made the open back gape a bit. It looked like I couldn't get the dress closed or it popped open. I tried the 0 (forget about it) and thought the 2 would be better. I wore it but had a black bodysuit underneath. I think the 4 could have fit my waist but then there definitely would have been too much fabric up top. The slit is amazing and sleeves and length was great. I paired it with black booties as it was too cold for open tootsies. I am 5'4 and have 34B/C and about 110lbs. I would try to size up, but it's up to you. It's so pretty. I wish it fit.

Perfect "work" cocktail attire dress
Wore this to my company's celebration. Attire was "dress to impress" and I certainly did thanks to this little number. Being 17 weeks pregnant it was hard to find something to fit my new body, and this was the best. It is tighter with the overlay but the under was forgiving. There is a slight itchy factor to the fabric but I wanted my arms & legs covered because it was January. Loved the detail and I wore a black bodysuit underneath because the sheer panel I didn't feel was appropriate in that setting. It's a very pretty dress that's modest, photographs well and still has a wow factor. Normal undergarments can be worn. I'm 5'4" and the length came just below calf.

Colorful & Comfortable
I really enjoyed this dress. It was simple to make it for Fall too. I just added black booties and a cropped cardigan. It's perfect length where I'm 5'4 and I could still wear a small heel and it showed well. It's not long at all. I do wish the XS was a little more fit bit the fabric has a gauze like feel so it could just have been stretched. There was no noticeable difference between the S and XS. Pockets are awesome, but they did make the dress billow out a bit. I just keep my hands in my pockets when I walked. It was a totally perfect rental for the price and the event. Thanks RTR! Wore it to a baptism.

Perfect in every way
Rented this for an all day music festival. So perfect to pair with a white bodysuit and flip flops. At night, I quickly added a sweater and booties. I'm 107lbs and 5'4". The length was perfect for me. Didn't drag on the ground and I could still pair it with a bootie heel if I wanted. This skirt runs small in the hip area. I'm warning you. I had to wear the small and all the reviews are accurate. This should be easy breezy, comfort, not tight or else the buttons spread and you can see right through and honestly, showing your Brittany is so passé. I could barely button up the XS. I got some good compliments and I felt great. Wish I owned it.

My 'close the deal' dress!
So happy I finally rented this dress. After carefully reading all reviews I figured the 4 would be my choice but took the 2 as well. As suspected, the 2 was very hugging to my body. I'm 110 and 5'4". I have an athletic build but some hip and boob action. I had to wear this all day getting my client at the airport, meetings, lunch, more meetings and dinner. I needed something that would work with me all day and allow sitting and not wrinkle. Also if I wore the 2 it would have rode up and showed my stomach if I ate anything bigger than a raisin. This dress was everything. It was professional, classy, but allowed me to feel confident and beautiful. I loved the color and feel. You can wear anything under it. But I'd avoid lace or textured undergarments. It's a great length too for us short gals! Thanks!!!

Love this dress!
Wow! Can I wear this everyday!? I just loved this beautiful dress. First for short gals its perfect. 3" heels were all I needed and I am 5'4". I do believe it runs small but in the ribcage only. I teeter between a 0 and 2 and the 0 was not going on. I chose to wear the 4 bc I wanted to be comfortable. This added some extra fabric in the chest and sleeves but not where anyone would notice. A great rental. Also customer service was amazing in getting me the 4 asap!! Love them.

Perfect LBD
Classy and perfect LBD. Love this dress for its comfort, simplicity and style. I wore the XS and didn't even have to try the back up S. I am usually right in between so I put runs large bc for an XS it wasn't body hugging. I did wear a strapless bra under as the dress isn't very tight. Undergarments were easy bc the dress is double lined and forgiving. The length was perfect for my liking and any shorter would have not been comfortable. The fabric is wonderful and didn't wrinkle at all. A must rent for a classic look. You can add your personal flair in shoes or earrings.

Heavy.
So I loved these but I didn't get to wear. My lobes are a bit stretched and these are a bit heavier than expected so I passed. The photo makes them look more marbled and shimmery but I found the stone color to be a bit flat. Still beautiful but not the best fit for me.

Simple & Classic
I have been eyeing this dress for probably a year. It's always been rented when I wanted to get it which just goes to show how great the dress is. For weddings and going out, I love classic style with one hint of sexy but for work, I keep it simple and classic. The fit is pretty true to size. Being 5'4" and about 110-112 the 0 was perfect. I do have a full B / small C cup so there was enough room and I wasn't squished. The lace is lovely and has a little shimmer and the dress fabric is very forgiving and won't wrinkle at all. The zipper is a bit tricky. Be patient. I would definitely purchase this dress if I got lucky enough. I got compliments and that's always the sign of a winner. Thanks again RTR!!

Amazing dress. First off, the color is so much more vibrant than when photographed. It's the perfect pink that doesn't look like Barbie, or a little girl pink. It's fun, sexy, professional and a winning combination. •This runs small • I'm 5'4" 113 34B/C and the 2 was like a body wrap. I went for the 4 which wasn't as tight up top as I wanted, but it worked. The cut of this dress is so flattering and I would wear it in black and blue too. Another great rental. Thanks!

Gorgeous for a night at the ballet
Wore this to NYC Ballet. So perfect. It was raining horribly and paired with thicker stockings and patent heels not even the weather was a bother. I'm 5"4 and about 113lbs. I could have worn the 2 as well. The collar on the 2 didn't stay down so that's really why I went for the 0. It was short when I sat but still conservative. Any shorter would have been questionable. I got a great price too and I was complimented twice at dinner. That's success to me. Thanks RTR!!

Wore to: Friends Baby shower I loved it. I'm tiny but not that small. I'm surprised that the XS was a bit large. The length was perfect though so it helped. The knit material is strong, but feels so soft. The buttons are the perfect detail. The sleeves were a bit long but I didn't want to roll them up since it's not my dress. Lol Only tip, the minute you get it, take it off the hanger so the shoulders settle. Great rental.

OMG what an amazing dress!
Such a bummer I didn't get to wear this. The 0 I had reserved didn't get back in time so they sent me the 2 and another selection. The 2 was a bit too big on top (long straps) and I could have done a makeshift twist tie situation, but I didn't want to ruin the dress so I had to pass. I have to say the team at RTR is incredible. I would have worn the back up, but it was a destination wedding on the beach, and it was too formal, although very pretty. They even got me a third dress shipped right to my hotel, but sadly it didn't fit. This was my first time ever with RTR it didn't work out, but it was a great experience and I remain a loyal customer because of that.

This was the back up to the back up - don't ask! Unfortunately, only the 0 was available and I think the 2 would have been better. I didn't wear it. Super cute though. Good fabric that is flattering and runs short though. If you're taller than 5'5, skip it or wear little something under.

Fun, flirty and perfect alternative to the LBD
I loved this rental. Like most rentals I choose, I hunt for weeks examining every review to make sure this will be great. When I say it runs small, its more that there is a seam in the waist that doesn't stretch. Lace is what it is, so its not going to give much so, I'm tiny, but I choose the 2 over the 0 and it was perfect. Because I can not go braless and detest straps showing, I wore a strapless black bra underneath and it was fine. If you didn't know you wouldn't notice but in the photo you can see across a black band. It doesn't wrinkle and needs very little accessories. Got compliments all night and the pockets rocked! Another great rental and totally won't break the bank!

Showstopper! Don't wear if you don't like attention!!
Wow! I salivated over this dress for months before I had an event to wear it to and it was totally worth the wait! I am 5'4 and it was long. I had to buy higher heels (4-5") but the dress was covering them so I just popped over to Payless and got a cheap pair for $30 with a small platform in the front and it was perfect. The base of the dress has a beautiful finished hem so taping it under would have eliminated the flow of the dress. Truth, if you are under 5'3, I'd skip it. In a sea of black dresses, I stood out but tastefully. I'm a 34B and needed no bra, or any special undergarments. The back is perfection and the bride, both moms and guests were so complimentary. I wanted to pair it with simple gold, but the pearls were the best choice. Love. Love. Love. Thank you again RTR!!!

Runs large. Not best for smaller frames.
I really wanted to wear this but unfortunately, it was too big. The 0 was a little larger than I needed and the sleeves were a bit long. I almost thought the tags were wrong, but it was too big. This was the first rental I didn't wear, but the return was super easy, and they credited my account so I can get another dress. So even if the dress doesn't fit, RTR will make it right so you can get one that does.

Fun dress! Bright and girly!
I really liked this dress! It was fun, swingy, bright and easy to wear. I got the 0 and 2 and the 0 was fine. The fabric was thick and held well. I liked that I could wear a normal bra with it as I am tiny but can't go braless ;) I pared the dress with a simple pair of muted gold heels and a fun necklace. I kept the rest simple. This is a great dress and RTR hasn't disappointed. I have another wedding in Oct 11 and Black Tie Oct 26 so Im excited for two new rentals. Oh yea - I got stopped 6 times about the dress and how wonderful it was! Make a gal feel great!
