Sexy & sophisticated but not so forgiving!
I rented this dress to wear in Las Vegas and it was perfect for the occasion. I love the lace and how this dress is a little more revealing than something I'd normally wear, but not too over the top. While the lace does make this dress slightly more forgiving, it really does hug all of your curves (and bulges for that matter). I'm rather pear-shaped and probably could have benefited from some good shape wear, but I really hate dealing with that stuff, so I just had to be extra careful to stand up very straight all night. Because it's stretchy the dress is actually quite comfortable, but rides up a lot when walking. I'm normally a 10 or 12, but had to wear this in XL.

Pretty
These earrings are pretty, but I didn't end up wearing the dress I rented them to go with, so I didn't wear the earrings either.

This dress made me sad
I really wanted to wear this dress. The color and draping in the front are gorgeous, but this style just did not work for my pear-shaped body. The bottom was a little more clingy than I expected and the fabric was NOT forgiving. Every pair of underwear I tried it on with was visible in some way or another. I probably could have pulled it off with Spanx, but I prefer dresses that don't require that much work. Needless to say the dress went back unworn:-(

Like a disco ball
I rented this dress for a girl's trip to Vegas but didn't end up wearing it. The dress is beautiful and pretty flattering, but it was a bit heavy for the 105+ temperatures and seemed more suited for a super formal event than a night out. I did find some of the pleating around the hips to look a little odd, but that was minor and not my main concern.

Cute necklace!
I didn't end up wearing this because the dress I planned to wear it with didn't work out, but it is a cute necklace. The only downside is that it is a bit on the short side, closer to choker status.

A tad too short!!
I rented this dress for a girl's trip to Vegas. It's not the best dress I've rented from RTR, but it was the only one that worked out of the three I ordered, so I wore it anyway. I like the back and the detailing on top, but the dress was way too short on me. I'm only 5'6" and it just barely covered my behind, which made for a pretty uncomfortable night. I also think it runs a week bit small. I'm usually a 10 or 12 and ended up wearing the 12, but I really had to suck it in to get it zipped. Cute dress, but not for average height or curvy girls!

Cute & Comfy!
I rented this dress for a casual happy hour with friends and got tons of compliments. This dress is super comfortable and can easily be dressed up or down. I think it would be especially cute with tights and boots in the winter. I didn't realize it was going to be 90 degrees the day I planned to wear it, so it was pretty hot, but I managed. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for outdoor summer events though. The only downside to me was that it's a little bit short. I rented the M and the L and probably could have gotten away with either size, but the L was a little too big for me in the shoulders.

Paid for itself after two rentals
There's really no reason not to get RTR pro. Free shipping and insurance plus a free birthday rental. It pretty much pays for itself right away!

Sexy & Classy!
I wore this dress to celebrate my anniversary with my husband and got lots of compliments. Its' sexy, but also tasteful since the bottom is flowy and it's a bit on the longer side. The top was a little big on me, so I had to tie it really tight. Unfortunately I couldn't size down because the smaller size was too small in the waist. Also, this dress definitely does not offer a lot of support (I didn't expect it would). At a small C I felt like I was right on the border of being able to pull it off and not. This was my first RTR experience and overall I was extremely happy, but I definitely could tell the dress had been worn before. There were a few threads hanging and it was beginning to come apart at one of the seams, though it totally was not noticeable.
