Gorgeous and elegant with pockets!
This dress is lightweight and so easy to wear. The color is silver and shimmers. The pockets were a bonus. Perfect for a gala. Got tons of compliments and women were looking it up on the RtR app as I mentioned it was an RtR rental. Normally I’m an 8 but the 6 fit better around the shoulders.

Amazing dress! Love, love, love it! It has pockets!
The fit, fabric and color of this dress is terrific. The fabric has some nice weight to it and it's got a bit of texture so you don't have to worry about wrinkles. It's got pockets in the front! Easy to wear. Very flattering. It's got a bit of stretch. Great color and pattern. Would definitely rent again!

Great color! Very nice cut!
The color and fabric is amazing. It has a very low cut front but there is a neat little hook that you fasten to an inner stitch to keep the neckline closed. The only thing I did not like was the waistline. It's elastic with a string belt and I think it can make you look bulky at the waist. The belt is attached so you can't really adjust it if you want the belt lower or if you want to smooth out the bunching from the elastic. But it's a minor thing. It is a gorgeous dress.

This dress is made for a special woman and that woman is not me.
As other renters have described, this dress has very long shoulder straps. I could not wear it. Even though the size 10 fit me in the waist, it was nearly 4 inches too large in the shoulders. It is unfortunate because the color and shape are stunning. If you have a shorter torso, you might want to avoid this dress. It is too bad it doesn't come with adjustable straps.

I got this for an organization's annual dinner with a Roaring 20's theme. It was perfect!
I normally wear an 8 but the top was too large and the dress straps kept falling off. Even the 6 was still a bit too wide at the top. The straps still fell but I wore it anyway. The slip does show a little and it could be that the fabric shrunk so that didn't look very nice. The top is black velvet- very nice for a fall/winter dress. Skirt length is short but it was acceptable for the occasion. The bad part about the dress was that if you have any belly at all, it will show. So girdle up...or wear control tights.

Perfect dress for a hot, summer evening wedding! Fun, and not too formal!
The fit was great! It's a very flattering cut! Plus it has pockets! The fabric is thick but not heavy or hot. The skirt is very full- much fuller than what you see on the model- so the only down side is that you can't spin too much if you dance or you'll show more than you want to show.

I loved the colors! It was easy to dance in. Fun!
The fabric is stretchy but it does hide imperfections very well. It is not too heavy- perfect for a summer event.

Um...what kind of underwear doesn't show under this? Fringe!
Great color but the neckline was down to my bellybutton- only ok if going to a club. What's with the weird fringe on the hem? That was unexpected and not exactly flattering. And the fabric! I couldn't figure out what undergarment one wears with this dress that doesn't show. Not a forgiving cut or fabric for less than perfect bodies. Didn't wear it as my body is less than perfect.

Awesome color, easy to wear!
Hello plunging neckline! I needed to wear a cami under this dress. The neckline was way, way low cut. Other than that, it's an awesome, comfortable dress. Forgiving on imperfect curves. Silky and suitably thick without being bulky.

Fun summer dress in a great color!
This dress is light, comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I wore it to a retirement party with heels and to a graduation with sandals. Outstanding, cheerful color! It does run true to size! The elastic at the waist does not stretch much!

I rented this for an awards ceremony. It was classy, comfortable and fun without being too formal.
The fabric is very thick and the color is nice and bright. The side zipper can be hard to pull up. It is a very form fitting dress but I figure that very few people have perfect bodies so why bother trying to hide imperfections. Just wear the right undergarments, stand up straight and let the bottom ruffle draw the attention. I'd rent it again!

I rented this for a staff party. Color is great but style is not that great.
The knot in the front can end up being placed across your belly making you look like you're a few months along. Maybe this dress is for people with a long torso or those who are very tall.

I rented this for a great red dress for my 40th. Lots of great sparkle!
I have a very small wrist and normally can't find bracelets. These were perfect for a black dress and a red dress.

I wanted a fabulous red dress for my 40th- something to make my boyfriend's jaw drop. This worked.
The dress is amazing. The color is rich and bright. The fabric is not paper thin but it is also not heavy. All the ruching seems excessive but once you put the dress on, it will stretch out and cover up any imperfections that concern you. You can dance in it without fear of exposure. It is very comfortable. It's sexy without being too revealing.

Great color! Seriously! Perfect for a birthday! Bonito color! Muy adorable y diferente.
The belt was missing so I had to McGyver it. The small size fit better but it was super-short and very snug on la panza. Not good. I went with the medium because it was long enough to approach the knees. This dress is great for dinners and standing around with a drink looking off into the distant; not so much for spinning on the dance floor (unless you want to show off your tanga style). Es cute but I'll be testing out more dance-appropriate styles later. But the color! Oh so beautiful!

Great color! Great fabric! Flattering cut for when your body isn't so flattering or perfect!
This dress is a mini! Don't expect it to go anywhere near your knees. The fabric is heavy so the bottom is not going to fly up if you spin around. However, the draping on the shoulder does fly out. No big deal. Just don't spin so fast. The fabric drapes and covers the midsection really well. It's very comfortable. I'd get it again if I were going to a non-dancing event.

Fun party dress
This dress was very comfortable and perfect for a summer party. I do like to spin when I dance, so I was worried it might fly out too much. I hope it wasn't an issue. So if it's not windy and you aren't spinning on the dance floor, this is a very fun, flirty style.
