Great color
Unique and comfortable. Still stunning and subtlety sexy. Only problem was it was a little long, even in heels with my 5’6” frame.

Adaptable look
I rented this to wear to a Western art exhibit. I needed something to go with my western style Frye boots and was having a hard time finding the right dress. This dress adapted perfectly to the styling I selected. My favorite part was the surprise of the open back on this piece.

Comfort & Beauty
This dress is really wonderful. The color is stunning and it flows beautifully on your body. The only downfall to me was that a bra was a problem. The arm holes in the back were just a tad too narrow to wear a regular bra without straps showing. Racerback wouldn't work either because of the keyhole opening at the back of the neck. Nubra would have work, I just personally despise them and don't find them flattering for my shape. Braless was out of the question due to the transparency of the fabric.

Nice quality material on this dress. It is elegant and easy to wear because it is so flowy, but not necessarily flattering at all angles due to the fit.

I wanted to love it
I'll admit, when I rented this dress I knew it would be out of my comfort zone. It definitely fits small, i tried on the 8, which is like a U.S. 4, and it was very tight on my chest and arms. I normally wear a 0 or 2. It flattened me out by profile and the arms were really uncomfotable. The sleeves were also too long for me, and I am fairly long limbed. I was disappointed...not enough to return as i could have worn it, but felt it was a bit too overtly sexy for my party. Luckily, I had a great backup style that felt much more "me".

Warning: compliments ahead
Really pretty and flattering jumper. To me, it was a little large for the size, but I have really skinny legs so didn't have the same problem as some other reviewers. I received compliments from both friends and strangers. It is sexy in that effortless kind of way that i love. I highly recommend renting this piece.

J. Mendel perfection!
This dress is beautiful and beautifully made! The color is stunning, the styling is very classy. If you want to turn heads, this dress will definitely do it! I received numerous compliments from strangers the night I wore it. The dress is very comfortable as well and easy to get into. I only needed help from my husband with the hook and eye above the back zipper. The fit was spectacular, I didn't need anything extra, like double stick tape, to keep anything in place. This despite the low cut of the front, because the dress is so well cut and fitted.

"Pretty in Pink"
I love this dress! The color was stunning, the fit was spot-on, fabric is beautiful and it had pockets!! It got really wrinkled, as you can see from my photo, but I don't think this is something that would necessarily happen under normal circumstances. Unfortunately, we had torrential downpours while we were out, and I was holding the dress up to keep the longer back out of the puddles that were forming. I went to the bathroom and stretched it out under the hand dryer and got all the wrinkles out easily! The side cutouts were very subtle, which I liked. I was nervous about skin overflow, but as you can see from the picture of me sitting down, there was enough room and the cutouts were small enough that this didn't happen. I luckily just got a pair of pink metallic sandals that looked great with the color. The black accents were a beautiful touch. I think it was a very classic style and fit, with just a few special touches to make it a little edgy and a definite stand-out dress!

Pretty, but a few issues.
This romper is pretty and comfy, but not my favorite rental ever. I wish it had pockets on the sides! Also, didn't care for the belt loops, the hook and eye in the back kept digging into my back,and I felt it was a tad longer than I wanted. I should have sized down, but I rented at the last minute and only 2R was available. The cutout was edgy without being over the top, and I like how it had a dress look with the comfort of pants. Not necessarily a "go to" for me, but I think it was worth the rental and would recommend to others. Would look great on someone a little taller than me.

Ethereal and pretty
This dress was really pretty. Obviously a little older style and worn a bit, but still so pretty and flattering. I received numerous compliments on it and felt so breezy and cool at a hot, summer wedding. I ordered XS and S and wore the small, it just was easier to get on and a tad bit longer because the dress is very short in the front.

Neon Color so cool and trendy!
This dress is beautiful! The neon colors pop and make it so modern while the cut is so classic and lady like. The bodice and waist is definitely on the tight side and the fabric doesn't have any give. Size up if you have any doubt! I liked the more snug fit on me overall, so chose the smaller of my two sizes and was still comfortable to move around and hold babies at the wedding I wore the dress to! Highly recommend this dress, it is such a great deal for this piece...do not pass it up!

Don't let the simplicity of this dress fool you, it is absolutely beautiful! I wore it for an office Christmas luncheon and I received numerous compliments from very fashionable colleagues.

Lovely color but fit not my favorite
This dress was just sort of 'meh" to me. Not bad, but not really the WOW factor I look for in my RTR dresses. I felt the jersey was sort of lumpy and didn't lay the best around a lot of the seams. The extra material around the belly area was unnecessary and honestly not so flattering. I am sure this dress has its time, place, and perfect customer. Unfortunately, it was not me nor my particular event.

Perfect outfit for a girls' night out
I am in love with this perfect little romper! I always feel a little crazy when I want to rent a romper due to being in my mid-40s and I usually resist renting them, but felt the tuxedo look on this one could make it more appropriate for a woman my age. I couldn't have been happier with this nicely made, classy, and fashion forward look! I wore it for a girls' night out and my friends complimented the outfit numerous times. The fit was fabulous and it was an easy, comfortable wear. I wore with black tights because it is winter and a bit chilly here, but this would look equally great with bare legs for the springtime. I highly recommend this piece, you definitely won't be disappointed.

Countless compliments - standout color!
This dress is absolutely stunning! The fit is fantastic but as other reviewers have said, double stick tape is a must to keep up the cap sleeves and to hold down gaps around the bust and the back. I wore it out for a date with my husband and he said women from across the restaurant were turning around to check me out. I had at least 5 people comment directly to me that my dress was beautiful! It made me feel so glamorous and self confident. Love!

My backup dress - didn't wear it.
Luckily, this was my backup dress because it was very large around the chest on me. It was gorgeous in person and it would have been great to wear it. Just make sure you size down if you are tiny around the chest.

Daring Dress!
I absolutely loved this dress even with the plunging deep V! It was a little intimidating wearing it, even with my double stick tape I had to keep checking on it but that is because I've never worn anything this low before. I wore it for my birthday dinner date with my husband and he loved the dress. I received a lot of compliments from strangers that evening, so this dress definitely stands out in a crowd! Overall, the fit was very comfortable - I wore the UK 8/US 4 size so it would fit tighter around my chest where I am smaller but still left plenty of room in the skirt for my larger hips. My only complaint is that the dress stuck out a little in the back at the bottom of the zipper. It may be that the one I got had just gotten stretched out a bit previously. I tried to smooth it down the best I could but it still stuck out a little throughout the night.

Pretty look but bigger than expected
This necklace was longer than I expected and the two layers overlap more than shown in the product photograph. The squares had a tendency to flip up, especially around the clavicle and the two strands would get twisted. I gave it a 3 star rating because the necklace itself is pretty but hard to keep looking pretty once you put it on because of all the twisting and flipping.

Summery tropical beauty!
This dress was beautiful on...I love the billowy top layer. I wore it early spring but feel it would be more appropriate for summer. I would say the dress runs a bit on the large side. I wore the 4 but am usually in a 6 these days. However, I almost always have to go smaller in a strapless dress. this one in particular was difficult when I tried the size up because of the hanger loops. The top seam kept rolling out, so my husband really wanted me to wear the 4 even though it was tighter in my hips. I have large hips for the rest of my body shape but I was still pretty comfortable in the dress and it still fell nicely on my body. My one (small) negative about the dress was that there was no hook and eye at the top of the side zip, which made the dress difficult to zip up while keeping the hanger loops tucked in without the help of another person. I wore this with Kate Spade New York Accessories Clean Break necklace

Amazingly comfortable dress and still so sexy!
This was my first Issa London and will definitely NOT be my last! This dress was so comfortable and so flattering! Naturally, due to the plunging neckline and low back, you will need to be certain to have double stick tape to keep the halter in place. I was a little worried with the U.K. sizing, but the RTR recommendations worked perfectly! Love it and cannot wait for an excuse to rent again!

This dress was a lot sexier than I expected from the photos. I loved it! It was very fun and very comfortable. The arm holes were a bit odd and big, and I had to do a lot of artful pinning and double stick taping! Even with that, this is a dress I really loved and would very likely rent again!

My "blue Christmas" dress was a real standout in the crowd!
I rented this dress for my holiday luncheon for work. It was so perfect! Fun but very appropriate for a professional environment. The blue was the most perfect festive shade and the fit was flattering and comfortable! You could style this dress for so many different types of occasions. I wore mine with shimmery black tights, From Daytime to Night Bracelet, and my own vintage Karl Lagerfeld earrings.

Got lots of compliments on this "smoking hot" dress!
This dress is beautiful and comfortable. Stunning color! I received so many compliments on this dress..."smoking hot"! This dress definitely runs large as other reviewers said, so I am glad I ordered a size down from my normal size. I still needed some double stick tape on the sleeveless side. If you rent this, you should also look into a backless, strapless bra as it dips very low down in the back.

This was a cute, trendy and versatile look. I thought the fit was a bit big and glad I ordered down a size. The shawl on the collar was a little off when it was buttoned...king of turned it in funny, so I had to pin that down to fix it. I also needed double stick tape because the top part was a bit large and bulged out when I moved a certain way or sat down. The downfall of the double stick tape was that I would then have to ruin it in order to get *out* of the outfit to use the ladies room, lucky I figured all this out before I left for my party so I could bring my roll of double stick with me to redo as needed. This would be super cute with a pocket square, too, to kind of play up the "mens wear" aspect of the look.

Not as special as it looks
I was very excited about renting this dress for a silent auction fundraiser event...I loved the idea of the illusion waist. It reminded me of the Stella McCartney number that Kate Winslet wore a few months back. The fit of the dress was fine and as expected. I guess overall my feelings toward the look of the dress was a bit lukewarm at best. Even my husband commented that it was his least favorite of my rentals thus far, he just felt the dress looked a bit ordinary and boring, not really anything that stood out. So other than the general comment that this is not a real show-stopping and special dress, some more specific critiques include that I felt the white seemed rather yellow and dingy on both my first choice and backup size dress, also, as with any fully sequined dress, wearing it can get a bit uncomfortable due to scratching around the hemlines. Additionally, my backup size was oddly stretched out on one side at the neckline, which luckily did not affect me since I wore my first choice size, but had I needed that size instead I would not have been able to wear it with how the stretching changed the fit and look of the dress. Another point you may want to make note of if you are planning on renting this dress, is that you must pull it on over your head to put it on, so you have to do all your hair and make-up while wearing the dress, or you could mess up all your beauty efforts.

LOVE these earrings! The jewel at the top is the same aurora borealis color as the large teardrop stone below, not so much clear like this photo appears. I wore these with the Angel Sanchez Violet Storm dress for a work-related cocktail party and thought they were the perfect compliment. Loved these earrings so much, I wore them all day the next day for business meetings and received several compliments!

I rented this dress for a work-related cocktail party in Vegas. It is a beautiful shade of amethyst and I was actually stopped by several strangers to compliment the dress! I felt beautiful and comfortable and thought the dress was fashion-forward and stunning without being overtly sexy. This dress runs big, especially if you have a tiny chest. The stylist recommended I rent my normal size and then one size down...only problem is that my "normal size" is either a 4 or 6...I *always* have to try everything on for fit. I ended up renting the 4 and 6, going against my first instinct which was to rent the 4 and the 2 because I am tiny around the chest and strapless dresses are usually big on me. Lucky the fit kit had double stick tape...I really needed it or the top would have been at my waist all night. The smallest size would have been the most comfortable as I needed it tighter around my chest, and the rest of the dress had plenty of room (plus it was stretchy jersey), which would have easily fit my fuller hips. For those with a smaller chest thinking of renting this, seriously go to the smallest size you normally fit in and select your back-up as the size down from that and then make sure you have plenty of double stick tape (I am a 32C with 26" waist and 37" hips. My measurement at my chest above the bust is 32").

Nice look but tend to twist
This was my first "surprise bling" rental I have received, and they did look perfect with the dress I selected, so I have to say THANK YOU to the stylist that selected them for me! They are big, bold earrings...the look is fantastic. However, they are in three sections and the sections tended to twist for me so the backside of the earring was facing the front.
