This dress was great! I wore it to a work event and it was perfect - fun and festive and not too revealing. The bow is such a great touch! I don’t think I realized the fabric was textured with a flower pattern (that’s my fault) so I didn’t love the shoes I packed to wear with it but I still think the look was cute. I ordered an 8 and a 10 and the 8 fit - I think I actually could have gotten away with a 6 because the straps are adjustable. I would rent this again!

The backup size for my original selection was unavailable and I got to pick a bonus dress from what was available last minute so I chose this as a wild card dress. I wore it to a bar mitzvah and I stood out in a sea of black dresses! The blue metallic lining is such a fun detail and it matches the blue flowers. The bodice has an internal support you can hook to keep everything secure, and the zipper and boning make the waistline look really flattering. And it has pockets! I’m glad I took a chance on this dress because I had a blast dancing all night in it!

I wore this dress to a work awards banquet and it was perfect - I felt beautiful but still work appropriate. I ordered a medium with a small as a backup and both fit but I ended up wearing the small - the top is thick but stretchy and I felt like the tighter top didn’t bunch up as much. I wore a strapless bra under it just for more support although I could have gotten away without one. The balloon hem was really fun and different, and the pockets meant I didn’t need to carry a purse. Rent this dress, you won’t regret it!

I rented this dress for an 80s themed work event. I absolutely loved the look of the dress but there was no stretch in it at all so I had to size up to get it over my hips/butt. I felt like the proportions of the dress didn’t match up with my proportions - the upper body was a little loose and the lower body was a little tight on me - but I made it work because the design was so cute! If I had it to do over I might have even tried one more size up.

I was a little nervous about whether I could pull this off, but I got a TON of compliments and it was fun to dance with! I liked that it was sexy in a subtle way (perfect for a work awards dinner) and I felt super confident in it. I ordered a 6 and an 8 and I don't think the 6 was really a 6 - the size and designer labels were missing and I could barely get it over my legs. So I went with the 8 which was a little loose in the waist and bust (a padded strapless bra fixed that part). Take a chance on this dress - you can pull it off too!

I felt like a million bucks in this dress. It was outside my comfort zone in terms of color and cut, but we were going to a wedding where I knew no one but the groom so I took a chance. I'm so glad I did! I got the 10 and 12, and ended up in the 10 (so a US 6) even though it was a little tough to zip, because it was more secure in the bust. I didn't need to wear a bra with it but I did wear one to avoid a fembot situation because it was chilly. If you're thinking about renting this dress, do it! It was perfect for a fall wedding.

I liked this dress a lot. I wore it to an awards banquet for work and got a lot of compliments! I ordered the 6 and the 8 and ended up wearing the 6 because the 8 was a little baggy in the chest. It's shinier than I thought it would be, which I didn't mind, but it's something to know. It's also high-waisted. I have a long torso for my height so the waist of the dress hit above my natural waist, which kind of bugged me because it made my proportions look awkward, but I'm sure I'm the only one who noticed that LOL.

I loved this dress! I rented it for a work awards banquet and it was perfect. I tried the 4 and the 6 and went with the 4 because the cheat was baggy with the 6 (it actually was with the 4 too but not as bad). The 4 was a bit shorter than I'm used to but because the skirt is rather poofy I didn't mind the shortness. I am not crazy about the black back panel but the blue sparkly material is so, so pretty. And it has pockets! This is such a fun party dress.

The original dress I picked for a cocktail party looked terrible so the stylists sent me this one last-minute - it arrived a few hours before I had to wear it! I ended up loving it so much more than the first one I picked. The fit was perfect - it was a little tight in the waist but the larger size was too loose and bunched up in the chest so I went with the 6. No bra is needed if you tie the back ribbons tight enough. It is poofier than it looks which is really fun, and the beading dresses it up a lot. I was surprised by how much I liked this dress and I got a ton of compliments! I was like an infomercial for RTR all night. It was perfect for a Christmas cocktail house party!

I felt so gorgeous in this dress! It's a little heavy and I went with the smaller size mainly to keep everything in place. It also has a a mini train which adds some drama. My husband raved about this dress and it definitely turned heads. I would definitely wear it to another formal wedding!
