Garden cocktail party chic
I'll start off y saying I'm not a selfie person. I decided to snap and post a selfie to my story after prepping for this party at the lounge in the SF RTR store and got more reactions and responses than anything I'd posted to my story before. This dress got tons of compliments in person at the event as well. Love the cut of the skirt--very flattering length and shape.

Super chic
Everything about this shirt is great. The fit is relaxed but the shape at the neck is interesting and very flattering. I wore this under a draped leather jacket and got many compliments. Will be renting again and am considering buying!

Endless compliments
This dress is a stunner! It accentuates where you would like to accentuate and camouflages where you might like to camouflage. I got compliments left and right at the event and people who'd seen pictures commented how great the dress was too. I would absolutely wear this dress again!

Beautiful - and comfortable - dress
This dress was a hit! The color is gorgeous and the fabric is quite thick, and thus forgiving. I found it ran a bit large and also very long. I am 5'6" and typically wear 5" heels and rent a Long. This is the first time I've had an issue with excess length. Got numerous compliments - would rent again.

This dress is one of a kind
I wore this dress for an outdoor cocktail party and got numerous compliments. It has no stretch and does run small, so make sure to size up. The silhouette flattered my curves perfectly and the color is absolutely gorgeous. The lace/color combo is versatile - I wore a leather jacket and black accessories for an edgier look, but would look lovely with gold/nude to add a feminine touch. Would rent again!

Gorgeous tropical print
This dress was a hit! I️ rented for a tropical party and liked it so much I️ bought it. One thing to note - the fabric is synthetic so it can cling. It runs a bit large (originally rented in a large, but the medium fits much better).
Maristar Green Dress

A bright take on a classic silhouette
This dress made my Halloween transition to Elle Woods complete! I️ got many compliments on the color, and it photographs great. Would be a bit revealing for me to wear to work, but with a tank would be fine. The seam on the wrap tended to roll out a bit, but it is not super noticeable.

This dress runs extremely large
I could not wear this dress because it was far too big. I would recommend ordering 2 sizes down, but I really could not get a feel for what it would look like in a smaller size because it was so large.

This Barbie-pink dress will make you the center of attention!
This dress is amazing - I got compliments all night long. The color is very vibrant and the fit is universally flattering. It's loose and forgiving and very easy to dance in. I love this dress and would absolutely rent again.
Pink Crossback Gown

I got compliments from strangers on the street!
This skirt is amazing - the waist is fitted but runs true to size. It looks perfect with a crop top and really highlights your waist. If I had more occasions for a palm tree skirt, I would seriously consider buying it. Highly recommend!

Beautiful in person and in photos!
I rented this dress for the day before my college graduation. I was attending a speaker, brunch, photo session and cocktail party and this dress worked wonderfully for the whole day. I usually wear an 8 but it was a little snug through the waist (not typical for me) so I went up to the 10. It worked great with platform wedges but without heels would have been too long. The colors are even more vibrant in person and it is a very light material, despite the fact that it is lined. I got so many compliments and it looked great with the Kendra Scott turquoise Danielle earrings that I already owned. Am seriously considering buying this dress!

Dress runs incredibly small.
I usually wear an 8 but ordered this dress in both the 8L and 10L to be safe. It's a gorgeous color and seemed like it would be very flattering on, but I could not even get the 10 to zip. I would recommend ordering a size up and two sizes up as a backup if you have any sort of hips. RTR was great in helping me deal with my crisis when neither dress fit though. While the dress gets 1 star, my experience was much much better.

Absolutely gorgeous dress!
I rented this dress in November but unfortunately RTR did not have the L so I ordered the R. I'm only 5'6" and it hit around my ankles so I was very upset that I could not wear it because It was so flattering. Luckily I had another formal event in January and I was thrilled to see that the 8L was available! The dress photographs amazingly (the shimmery slip sort of shows through) and I got so many compliments. I wore the dress with the NIcole Miller leaf necklace and it worked well with the higher neckline. MAKE SURE to order the L if you are planning on wearing any type of heel!!! The boning helps to hold the dress up but it sort of poked into my armpit a little on the side of the dress with the strap but it was not that uncomfortable.

Would definitely rent it again!
I'm typically a 6 or 8 but was glad I rented the 4 because it fit perfectly! The strap was very long but it tucked and pinned it in the back. Overall, the dress is absolutely gorgeous. Just slightly darker than in the picture but it's very flattering. It is, however, pretty short. I had the 4L and could only wear 2 inch heels with it which was disappointing.
