Perfect Transition Dress
I rented this dress for a late March wedding and it was perfect. It was a great length, covered up my problem areas, and was a great color. I got a ton of compliments, and would recommend renting this.

Lace Aline Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 36D
Elegant and Sexy
This dress is beautiful, and the color is unique and flattering. It hugged my curves in all the right places, and kept my 36D girls in place without a bra! (I did size up to the large for a little more coverage up top; but the medium fit well, too.) It also photographed extremely well. Fair warning: The see-through lace would make it hard to wear anything but pasties. The rest of the dress, however, is very conservative. I would highly recommend this for a wedding or fancier date night.

Green With Envy
I rented this dress for NYE and it is amazing. It sparkles without being over the top, it covers little flaws...and, it's comfortable! I ordered the 6 and the 8 and the 6 fit great, but was too short. The 8 was a little baggy everywhere else, but the length was much more comfortable. I wore a cross body bag to cinch the waist in a little and it worked perfectly!

Short? Yes.
This dress was an amazing color, and the top fit beautifully. Unfortunately the dress was cut far too short for my taste. I rented the M and the L. While the L was too big, I ended up wearing it because the M felt like I was wearing a loose shirt (and covered about as much). This might work on someone who is very petite, but I definitely won't be renting it again.

Red Lip Smack Dress
Parker
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"

Bust: 36D
Gorgeous lace overlay, but too short.
I was really excited about this dress, but was semi-disappointed when I actually put it on. The fit in the waist and the arms was really comfortable (fitted, but still felt loose). However, the fit in the shoulders was a little too loose, which brought the neckline a little lower than I was comfortable with -- especially because the dress was VERY short. I ended up wearing flats because I felt so uncomfortable with the length of the dress. This might be a better fit for someone who is shorter than me. Bottom line: It's pretty, but I would never rent it again.

I rented this dress for a black tie wedding and it was the perfect fit!
This dress is a triple threat -- it's beautiful, comfortable, and fits in all the right places. It hugs your body without showing imperfections, it's easy to sit and eat in or dance in, and helps you sparkle (literally - it catches light in a gorgeous way). I would definitely rent this dress again.

Rich And Famous Dress

Stunning!
I rented this dress for my friend's birthday party in NYC. It was comfortable (even though it was fitted), gorgeous, and great for an evening out. My only issue was that the beads on the dress looked worn down -- some were even falling off. Other than that, I had no complaints and would definitely recommend renting this!

Everyone loved the color of this dress -- it's more vibrant in person!
I rented this dress for Easter brunch with my family and it was perfect! It's not too tight, but still flattering enough to feel pretty in. The color is gorgeous and the lace adds a very girly touch. I rented this dress in a 6 and an 8. The length is longer than it is on the model in the photo (I'm 5'5), but I ended up wearing the 8 because the 6 was a little too short when I sat down -- and I have a bigger chest. Overall, I was pleased with this dress and would rent it again.

I won't rent this dress again, but I will rent from RTR again.
This dress looks gorgeous on the model, and great in other reviews, but it didn't work for me. The 6 was too short, so I ended up wearing the 8 -- which was a little too large in the shoulder area. I wore a cardigan to give it some shape, but I wasn't very comfortable throughout the night.

I ordered two dresses from RTR, but only received one size in my first choice (even though I ordered two sizes). The staff was really apologetic and great when I called - they even refunded my money. Luckily, the Tibi dress looked great and I was able to wear it out. I'll definitely order from RTR again, just because of the amazing customer service!
This dress is really elegant, not too short, and comfortable. My only issue was the open back - it's lower than it looks. So be prepared to find the right bra to wear.

I wore this dress to a friend's wedding and got tons of compliments! The ladies were very surprised at how great the quality was when I told them I was renting it - I told them RTR is my new go-to!
This dress is a little low cut (for my taste), but it is absolutely beautiful. The cut of the lace is very flattering, and the length is long enough to balance out the low neckline. It comes with a slip that is Spanx-like, but mine was a little stretched out - I'm assuming it's because the dress is so popular and is worn often. If you have a larger chest, make sure you wear a great bra!

Wish I Could Have Worn It!
I ordered this dress in two sizes, but unfortunately, I only received one -- and it did not fit. This dress is just as gorgeous in person as it is online. I will definitely try to rent this again in the future!

Russian Roulette Dress
Haute Hippie
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 12

I was worried that this dress was too flashy, but I received many compliments from guys and girls that it was flashy - but in a great way! It really stood out and I felt great in it all night.
This dress is great if: 1. You like sparkles. 2. You want to stand out. 3. You want to be comfortable. I rented this dress for my birthday party and it was an absolute hit. The fit was perfect - short and sexy without revealing too much, and tight but forgiving. The zipper on the back of the dress adds a really nice touch, and the best part is you don't need to wear much jewelry (if any).

Fits Like A Glove
I got lots of compliments on this dress and it was a beautiful color, but it was not lined -- in the sun, I felt you could see straight through it -- and it did not have a lot of wiggle room. If you are between sizes, I would suggest ordering up.

The Perfect Summer Dress
This dress was one of my favorite rentals so far! The fit is a little loose, but the waist is cinched so it does not look baggy. Additionally, the material is free flowing and really comfortable. As other reviewers noted, the dress is short -- I felt much more comfortable in flats! But if you're going on a vacation or out for a casual night, this is perfect.

Not Flattering
I ordered this dress for a baseball game. After reading other reviews, I was worried about ordering a medium and large, but I'm glad I did. Even though the medium was too big, it was really short (unwearable). The large was long enough to leave the house in, but it looked like I was wearing a cupcake outfit. I didn't end up wearing it at all. This dress might be better on someone with a straighter figure.

Huge!
I was disappointed with these earrings. I thought they would go perfectly with a dress that I rented from RTR, but when I tried them on, they were huge! I felt too much like a grandma and didn't end up wearing them at all. Side note: They are beautiful in person, so if large earrings look good on you, you might actually like these.
