Comfy, Pretty, and Pockets!
Great dress for a little summer date night! Not much of a difference between the medium and large sizes. Went with the large because I preferred it's longer length and lower v-neckline. The sherbet colors are so fun. Would rent again!

Nice quality
I enjoyed this skirt! It's a heavy material that felt like great quality. Sometimes the weight of it pulled it down and I would have to readjust it. In some lighting it was hard to tell it had polka dots, but I liked its subtle fun vibe. It was really comfortable and I'd consider renting it again.

Fun for a summer wedding!
I had a great time wearing this dress at an outdoor summer wedding! Loved how different and fun it was, plus pockets!! I'm taking away one star because of how unflattering the cutout in the back was. I ended up pulling the material together in the back and essentially made it seem like there was no cutout at all. It wasn't ideal but worked out fine!

Not my favorite but still pretty.
This was a really pretty dress but not my favorite rental overall. Wore this for an evening out for our anniversary. I used double-sided tape to try to keep my bra covered but it kept distracting & frustrating me all night long, kept having to re-do or pull it together. Aside from that issue it was flattering and comfortable, so I'm still giving it a good rating.

Wish I owned this dress!
This ended up being one of my favorite rentals and I wish it was a permanent part of my closet! It's perfectly casual and comfortable while still looking nice.

Great summer rehearsal dinner dress!
Loved this dress and got lots of compliments! I wore it to my friend's rehearsal dinner and loved that it was something different. The back is so fun. I ordered a sticky backless bra off amazon and it worked well. Would rent again if the right occasion popped up!

Birthday night out was perfect in this red dress!
I would absolutely rent this dress again! So much fun, great color, loved the pockets, and it was super comfortable. I sized up so that it wouldn't hug my midsection at all and was very happy with it.

Fun black dress!
I enjoyed wearing this dress to a work awards reception! It was pretty snug and, like other reviews said, the short side is pretty short. But overall I felt like this was a great pick and was fun to wear.

Great dress for attending bridal shower!
Enjoyed wearing this dress to my friend's bridal shower! I got several compliments and loved the lace at the bottom & neckline detail! This dress was very form-fitting. I'm currently around 150lb, 5' 4", 34B. I felt like I should have worn shapewear to keep my midsection in check since it hugged all the curves. There was also some strange gapping in the upper back area, as if there was too much fabric there. So overall it might work better for a different body type, but I still had a great time wearing it!

Classy LBD
Great dress! My original rental for the wedding I was attending didn't work out, but fortunately I was visiting San Francisco and could run to the RTR store there to find a different option! This dress was a lifesaver. I might have overlooked this online because it seems a little plain at first, but the ruffles are the perfect touch and I felt classy & pretty in it! Currently 150-155 lb, 5' 4", 34B. I'm often a size 10 now, but the store just had a size 12 and that worked out fine. I don't know how the 10 would have fit, but I'm assuming it runs a bit small with the 12 working so well.

Disappointed in this dress.
I didn't end up wearing this dress. It had a surprising matronly vibe. I had been really excited about it and so loved the pattern from the pictures, but that design was extremely subtle in person. Overall not flattering, youthful, or impressive-looking. Luckily RTR had a different great option that I was able to get in time for the wedding I was attending!

One of my favorite rentals!
This hot pink dress is too fun. It was actually a backup dress for a date night on vacation, but I think it's better than the dress I had originally tried ordering! (Thank you to the great customer service team who overnighted this option to me!) I've gained weight and am sometimes a size large, but there really wasn't much difference between the Med and Large in this dress. Went with the medium! Sizing down is the way to go. I had a great time out feeling comfortable and confident in this dress!

Unique & Pretty!
As others have said, the straps are way too long. Aside from that, I loved this dress! I used double-sided fashion to tape to try to help the straps and bust from gapping. Fortunately, there wasn't a lot of dancing and moving around at the even I wore it to. Currently 145 lb, 5' 4", 34B. This was different than most dresses I've rented and I really enjoyed it!

Fun dress!!
I loved this dress! The colors are even more vibrant than what's shown on RTR. It was so fun and summery. The only negative was that it was very low cut and I did have to use double-sided fashion tape to make sure nothing moved around the bust. Overall, a great choice!

Perfect pink dress!
Definitely a new favorite from RTR!! I wore it for a wedding social event with work and it was perfect. Length was great. I loved the ruffle details! I'm currently 150lb and felt really comfortable in the size 10. Other reviews found it to be low-cut, but I did not have that problem. Would rent again for sure!

Didn't love it as much as I had hoped.
Pros: Unique dress, Love the concept of the lace and the open tie-back, Beautiful color. Cons: The cool factors of the dress don't quite cancel out the awkward length, Boning was uncomfortable, Strange rubber band type lining at bottom of skirt was odd as other reviews have pointed out, and I was not able to pull off the sexy back like some other ladies - maybe a torso length issue?! I'm currently 145lb and rented the 8 with 10 as a backup for a rehearsal dinner. The 8 was unable to be shipped so I wore the 10 and I think it was too big. Sides gapped after tying the back tight. Had to use double-sided tape to keep them down. I wore a sticky backless bra which worked well. Overall this wasn't a total loss and I'm glad I tried it. I normally have no issues with RTR dresses so this was just my personal least favorite dress so far.

Wish I could buy this dress!
Loved this LBD!! It seems like such a simple dress, but it exceeded my expectations and is one of my favorite rentals so far! Wore it to my mom's rehearsal dinner and it was perfectly classy. The neckline definitely makes it stand out. I'm currently 145lb and, although both the 8 and 10 fit, I decided to go with the 10.

Perfect Dress for Birthday Date Night
I wore this dress for going out on my birthday and loved it! When roses are your favorite thing, you can't go wrong with an allover rose print dress! I really liked the fun back, too. I've gained weight recently so am about 10 lbs heavier than the 132 lbs listed in my info. I rented the medium with large as my backup size. Both fit me fine, so it was nice to have an option. The medium was obviously more of a fitted look and the large was a little looser. The large was a little more comfortable around the waist, but I liked medium better up top for my bust. I went with the medium for this date night.

Loved it!!
Pros: POCKETS!, super comfortable, thick/heavy material was actually nice as our outdoor evening turned a bit chilly. Overall I felt great in this dress!! Cons: Zipper was ridiculously difficult on both sizes...but I eventually was able to get it without getting help. I ordered size 4 and 6. Both sizes did fit me, but I'm glad I went with the 6...I don't think I would have felt as comfortable in the 4 by the end of the night. Would definitely recommend this dress. :)

This dress was perfect for my bachelorette party!! Great first RTR experience!
I ordered the Medium and it fit perfectly! Loved that this sequin dress had long sleeves...fun style and perfect for my April bachelorette party in Chicago. The zipper up the back is black and I found that my strappy black heels were a great match for this dress! A little area of sequins were missing towards the bottom on the front, but it was completely unnoticeable amongst all the other sequins. I had been a little concerned ahead of time about the red sequins on the dress and was really happy to see that they didn't stand out too much. I could still wear my pink sash without feeling like it clashed. This was really the perfect bling dress for my fun night out!!
