Lovely long necklace
Rented this long necklace for a Prohibition style party in December. I liked how versatile it was - the chain has multiple points where you can unhook a section and wear a shorter version if desired, or keep it long and loop it for a double necklace. Material felt great, nice weight to it, and no reactions to it as I have sensitive skin. Would rent again.

Lovely Dress
Ordered this lovely yet understated dress for a banquet originally, but my chosen size of XL was pretty snug and I didn't feel comfortable wearing for over 4 hours. I eventually wore it the day before returning for a quick date night at a local cozy wine bar. The material is warm and thick, perfect for autumn and winter. Note that the material is not stretchy at all! I have a larger bust and a bit of a tummy so the fit was snug! The longer skirt hit at tea length on me and was perfect - I could wear my 2-3 inch heels sans stockings as the skirt kept my legs warm for the short walk to the bar. The way the skirt drapes from the waist/hips was my favorite feature. If this dress came with some stretch or Shoshanna made an XXL for us busty gals, I'd rent this again or buy it!!

Worn for a night in with my gals on the Oregon Coast.
Cozy and warm, this sweater dress was lovely and looked great over black tights. It is a bit weighty, so no need to layer anything over it. The material is also thick, not super soft but didn't bother me. Can be dressed up with heels or more casual with leather boots. Had both the L and XL, but preferred the L.

My brother got married in Vegas and it was a wonderful wedding!
Ordered this pretty dress in the 14 and ended up wearing my back up size of 16. I could have pulled off the 14 if I hadn't enjoyed myself too much with food and drink in Vegas before the wedding. The 16 may have looked slightly baggy on me, but I wanted to be comfortable and have not have to constantly adjust the dress. I wore shapewear with the 16 so I felt contained in the dress and it felt pretty amazing. The colors were great for a late summer/fall wedding where it was still in 80s. Oh, and the tassels that edge the bottom of the dress were so fun and a stylish touch! I do wish this dress had pockets though.

I was in Las Vegas for my brother's wedding. It was amazing!
Nice sized clutch for attending a wedding in Las Vegas. I loved the versatility to carry it as a clutch or hang it on my shoulder using the weighty chain the tucks away nicely inside. It was able to hold my phone (moto g4), chapstick, packet of tissues (it was a wedding!), ID, credit card, hotel room card, and one other thing I can't recall now. The exterior was soft to the touch and I loved the shiny effect of the golden pattern. I would definitely rent this clutch again.

OPALS
I love opals and this statement necklace was gorgeous when paired with the deep emerald dress I wore (also from RTR). I also wore it a couple of days beforehand at work, so more business casual and I received compliments as well. Such a lovely piece, give it a try, you'll love it!

Wizard of Oz themed dinner and auction for Must Love Dogs NW.
I attended an auction and dinner in March 2018 and needed a green outfit - this dress delivered! I loved the high low skirt and the pockets! Seriously the best feature! I wore the dress with black opaque tights (there was the possibility of snow that evening) and black heeled sandals. I ordered a size 14 although I wanted the 16, but it was not unavailable. The 14 was definitely snug (full cups gal at 34J) so I think the 16 would have been more comfortable if I had it. This dress has no stretch to it and it does have a 'fitted' fit. The top kinda flattened my chest and you could totally tell if you stared long enough. Upside: I was able to wear a regular bra with this dress because the back is solid and the neck of the dress comes in close (no straps showing). And I actually wore a sports bra that has a cami front so I could hide the cleavage since the top was so snug! lol Overall it is a beautiful dress; the floral pattern is smooth and shiny and stands out against the black fabric. The pleated skirt was very fun and full. Would definitely rent again, but in a size 16. And did I mention the pockets??

Wizard of Oz themed dinner and auction for Must Love Dogs NW.
Gorgeous necklace that I wore with a green RTR dress for a dinner and auction in March 2018. Very easy to put on and take off. You may end up fiddling with the 'gems' on the necklace if you're not used to wearing one of this size like I did. This went well with the dress and I also wore the next day with casual attire and looked great. It goes well with everything.

Wanted to dress up a bit for work.
I LOVED this dress! The pattern, color, material - even better looking in person. The cut of the skirt was my favorite part, it just looked amazing on me. The material has some stretch, but not a ton. I could not raise my arms above my head. I wore control top tights to help the tummy department. I'm not used to dresses in general, but it's nice to have someone zip up the back if you can't reach. My one and only complaint is I wish it doesn't come in a 14. Wearing a 14 would have been waaaay more comfortable. Sadly the largest size is a 12. So, I either pray for this dress to come out again with a size 14 or I hit the treadmill for the next 12 months so I can rent again or actually buy this dress .

Wanted to dress up for work.
Rented the 14 with the 12 as back up and the 14 fit great. Since the skirt length is below the knee and I'm 5'1", this fitted like a midi on me which is a style I really like. I wore it with a cardigan and leather heeled sandals and received many compliments on the cheery pattern. I loved having pockets for keeping my phone and work keys. The material is thick and comfortable. I felt a little warm in the dress, but the material is breathable - didn't break a sweat! Absolutely love it and will rent again!

Wore a dress to work which rarely happens!
Rented this necklace to wear with a sweater dress from RTR for work. The necklace is very lovely with multiple chains in various length. The shortest chain was almost like a choker on me and a bit snug. If there had been a little more room I would have loved it.

My cousins's metropolitan wedding in Seattle, July 2017.
I rented this dress for my cousin's wedding rehearsal and dinner in the summer, but sadly it did not fit well so I wore the other dress I ordered from RTR. While the dress is gorgeous, it was much too long for my 5'1" even after using the belt and bunching up the skirt. Another factor was that the arm areas were so large! The top of the dress under my arms was at the mid point of my bra and I couldn't adjust it at all. I think this dress is better suited for those with regular to long torsos. Would have loved to have worn it because it was so flowy and lightweight.

I wore this dress for my cousin's wedding rehearsal and dinner in Seattle. It was an amazing day.
I ordered the XL with the L as my backup. The XL was very roomy and comfortable, but the L fit me better. The neck on the back of the dress is pretty high and did not sit flat so I recommend wearing your hair up to avoid all the snagging. The best feature of the dress are the pockets! As others noted, the dress material does not have stretch, so be sure to order a back up as well so you can compare the fit. Loved my first dress order from RTR but with one exception. The XL arrived appearing clean, however, the armpit areas were caked with deodorant. I ended up not wearing the XL due to fit, but it's always good to check the condition of the dress before trying it on!
