RTR TEAM REVIEW- Great staple for summer!
This is a great, loose fitting shift dress that can be dressed up or down for any summer event (or for work!). I wore it to a pool party. The most form fitting part of the dress was around the bust- the seam landed a few inches below my neck so it might be a tough fit for larger bust sizes. I'm 5'2" and the dress came to a modest length right above my knee. I'm typically a size 4 and could have probably worn an XS so it would be a touch more form fitting. This was super cute- I got a compliment from a coworker on the dress while just taking this pretty number out of the garment bag!

RTR Team Review- perfect for a summer party!
This dress was FIRE for a hot summer, outdoor, birthday party. I was having a hard time choosing between RTR dresses for this party, but this one was my husband's favorite so I went with it! This was really loose fitting and flowy, which was great so I could wear my bathing suit underneath (I'm typically a size 4, and went with a Small). I'm 5'2", and you can see it the dress came to right above my knee...I could have probably gone with the XS if it was available. You can wear normal underwear and a strapless bra with this. I loved the bright red color and the gold hardware down the front definitely lends it to being accessorized and dressed up for a more formal event or night out too!

Team RTR Review- my pre-bachelorette party look!
I wore this during the daytime events of my bachelorette party! I loved it- my original dress didn't work out so I was so thankful RTR's Customer Service team could quickly get me a replacement dress. I'm typically a size 4 in RTR dresses, so I got the Small but it felt a little tighter than I'd typically be comfortable with. I wore it anyway, and glad I did- I thought it was super cute in the pictures! I'm pretty short at 5'2" and the skirt was cute- but short coming to my mid-thigh. Perfect for petite gals :)

RTR Team Review
I loved the color, and the subtle cut out at the mid-section is small and makes the dress a little more interesting/trendy! I could see myself wearing this dress to a shower or another spring/summer or family event. Fit true to size- the fabric was a little thicker in person than I anticipated though...just a heads up. Fell to a reasonable and conservative length on me...might look even better on someone a bit taller.

RTR Team Review
Great, punchy shift dress for summer or vacation! The shift silhouette isn't one I typically gravitate to being petite, but I thought it actually looked pretty good on. The bright vibrant colors lend themselves for warm weather- I could see myself wearing this to a summer bbq, a shower, or on a cruise or vacation. Ran true to size, and I was able to wear normal undergarments Would pair with nude wedges or strappy heels, and a chunky bracelet and big hat!

RTR Team Review
Love this punchy color, and the criss-cross detail in the back. The waist was fitted on me, but the top and bottom ran a bit big (I tend to run into this quite a bit across designers, as my waist isn't very defined)- would definitely recommend for a someone with a bigger bust or curvy. Fun cocktail dress!

RTR Team Review
This button up sheath fit true to size, and I was able to wear normal undergarments. It was a lightweight material, and I think it would be great for summer or to wear to work! I would style this with a black belt and some heels- the pattern makes it appear to be a drop-waist, making my torso appear longer (not ideal for a short gal like myself) but nothing a cinched waist or a heel couldn't fix! Would recommend!

RTR Team Review
I'm obsessed with this cobalt blue color- looks great in person! I'm typically a size 4 and I felt it fit a bit bigger than I'd like: I'd recommend sizing down or pairing with a belt. The lower back is open by the way...I like this versatile dress paired w/ a jacket or cardigan for work, and then you can remove it for after-work drinks or a date! Easy fit, and wore normal undergarments. I'm petite (5'2") and it fell to a conservative knee length on me.

RTR Team Review
Runs large (would recommend sizing 1-2 sizes down- I'm typically a szie 2-4), but cute for summer or for a bridal shower/rehearsal dinner look. Not fitted in the hips, so it's very comfortable and easy to move in. Wouldn't recommend for a short gal like myself though (I'm 5'2" and it went past my knees). I'd recommend pairing with a bright necklace for a fun pop of color.

RTR Team Review
I loved this romper! The material was comfortable and lightweight-perfect for summer (and didn't cling!). The waistband was drawstring, so a variety of body types can definitely pull this romper off. I'm pretty short, so I felt like the length was fine and I could see myself wearing this to a summer bbq or a more casual night out w/ my girlfriends (paired with some heels). I'd feel a bit more comfortable pairing this with black tights for work. I'm typically a size 4, and it ran true to size- would highly recommend!

RTR Team Review- Perfect for my bridal shower
Best dress I've rented to date! This fit and flare type dress is perfect for a petite or pear shaped gal- I'm 5'2" and the dress fell to my mid thigh. I tried on 4 different dresses for this event and when I tried this one on I knew immediately it was the one- such a flattering fit! It's a really pale pink in person, but definitely photographs white. The back is open (and ties with a cute bow!) so I invested in a sticky/backless bra from Victoria's Secret that did the trick! Paired it with RTR's Danielle Nicole Frozen Wonderland dress- got so many compliments!

Great color- paired with tights for a work meeting.
Received the dress with tags still on (great!), and I love this color. Note this is silk, so there is a bit of static (nothing a spray or dryer sheet can't handle) and also unlined. I was reassured by my friend my undergarments weren't visible, but just a heads up! I ordered the Small (typically a size 4) but I think I could've sized down.

I almost bought these at Kate Spade, but realized it might not be my bridesmaids' style and thought I was better off renting it. Like other reviews said, the middle stone appears a different color in different lighting- typically looks a cloudy yellow.

Classy in the front, party in the back.
I wore this dress to a wedding I attended with boyfriend's family in early October. The medium was an easy fit and comfortable, and I threw a black blazer on to cover the open back while at the church ceremony (pictured). The slip underneath is navy, and there is black/silver lace on top (It made it a bit more interesting than just black/silver, plus, I matched my bf's navy bowtie!). You'll need to wear a Nubra/backless bra due to the open back.

Easy dress for a spring wedding
I'm typically a size 4 or 6, but opted for the more form fitting 4 to counter balance the rather conservative length of the dress (I'm 5'2" and it hit my knee- didn't mind the longer style because it was for a family wedding). The color was more of an orange/sherbert color than the light pink I expected, but I didn't mind because it looked great with a tan :) I received compliments on the dress as soon as I arrived to the ceremony!

I wore this dress to my friend's bridal shower in March, and got a ton of compliments! I'm pretty petite, so I loved that this busy pattern wasn't overwhelming and too long on me (It was a few inches above my knee, and I'm 5'2"). Paired it with a the Slate & Willow "Slate Frost" necklace and Lauren Merkin's "Diana Snake Clutch"- thanks to RTR for this complete outfit! I'll definitely be re-renting this dress for other events this season!

Classy yet FUN dress for a charity party
I picked this dress for a charity NEON party I was going to, as a chic alternative to the typical college/day glo wear the theme would have otherwise lend itself to. It was body hugging, but didn't need to wear SPANX (like other reviewers suggested). I'm 5'2", and this dress was a little longer than I would have liked for a party at a club, but I decided to rock it anyway.

I wore this new dress to a rehearsal dinner. Loved it because it wasn't fussy, but still cute & put together. The only note is that because I'm 5'2", it ran a bit long on me (down to my knee).

Perfect, girly, summer dress
I typically shy away from print, as its a bit overwhelming for my small frame. However, this Ali Ro dress changed my mind! After seeing all the customers review this dress, I gave it a try for a family engagement party and received compliments upon walking in the door! Fun, girl, and appropriate...without being too "stiff" or "fussy".

Perfect dress for the occasion, and fave rental to date!
I rented this dress for a wedding, and I wish I could OWN it! It was the perfect balance of classy/conservative (i.e. length and fit), without being too stuffy. The color and neckline gave it a more fun/young feel too which I loved. This dress is super flattering- I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Great for a holiday party!
I rented this dress for RTR's "Our Runway" event and paired it with black tights and black booties (since it was October in NYC- brr!). Looked great, and I'm certainly keep it in mind for the upcoming holiday season. The back is completely lace, which caused a dilemma with regards to undergarments...plan accordingly!:)

Perfect LBD (little black dress) for GNO (girls night out)!
I saw a couple girls wear this dress at the RTR "Our Runway" event, and I wanted to try it out for the weekend. I've rented Herve before, but when I received the Small in this style I could barely zip it up. It worked great for my last minute Halloween costume and I received a ton of compliments! The front is a tad low cut (like the other reviews mentioned), and I'd absolutely rent this again...but opt up for the size medium. My favorite part was the sleeves!

I really wanted to rent an Herve but was worried the 'bandage dress' look wouldn't be terribly forgiving. I was WRONG! The dress accentuates all the right places, and this will be my go to 'going out' designer moving forward. I paired this with a cropped black leather jacket and chunky necklace for a perfect NYC night out with the girls outfit!

Great for a client meeting, interview, or career fair.
I paired the dress with black tights and black heels. I'd recommend cinching your waist (like I did)with a belt to balance out all the material gathered by your hips! The bottom portion was a bit more loose fitting than I had expected, which caused me to categorize it as a great pick for a professional setting (versus a date/girls night out).
