Chic and sophisticated

I loved this dress! So flattering and comfortable! This dress runs small. I ordered a 4 and sized up to a 6 for my backup. I'm glad I did. I normally wear a 4, but there was NO WAY it would zip all the way up. The 6 fit perfectly. (Please, RTR ladies, if the dress you rent is a little small, don't force it. You stretch it out for everyone after you. No one can see the size label after you put it on, but they sure can tell if you're wearing something a size too small.) I wasn't sure about an off the shoulder dress, but the cut and inner grip strip kept the dress in place all night. I never felt the need to pull up the sleeves. I wore it with leopard print shoes and a simple pendant necklace. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Cute dress, but not for my build

I wanted to love this dress, but it just wasn't the right cut for me. While on the model it looks mid-thigh, on my 5'3" frame it hit just below my knees. The V-neck is very low and wide, which somehow made me look smaller than I am, not larger. If you are tall and curvy, this is your dress. Shorter ladies, keep looking.

Fun dress for birthday dinner

I rented this dress as my free Pro birthday dress. It fit great and was very figure flattering. The cut out back adds a fun touch and the pockets are great. Perfect dress for a day wedding or casual event.

Very cute bracelet.

This bracelet has lots of sparkle and bling, but isn't too much for daily wear, either. I received this as a mystery bling choice. Great addition to my outfit.

Great shift dress. Nice alternative to the LBD

This dress was sent as an emergency backup dress when my one of my original dresses returned to RTR damaged. The dress fit well and was lovely. I didn't wear it only because my husband preferred my original dress choice.

Great dress for daytime wedding

I rented this dress for my daughter's outdoor wedding reception. The dress was perfect. I normally wear a 4, but wore the size 2, which was very comfortable. I am short, and was worried that the dress might be too long, but it hit just below my knees, the perfect length for the mother of the bride. I received lots of complements on the cut and color. It was a great dress for a very special occasion.

Sweet and simple bangle bracelet

I rented this for my daughter's wedding reception. I have small wrists, and stuggle with most bangle bracelets. Because this bracelet opens up, though, it isn't as large as most and stayed on my wrist nicely. I loved it and was sorry to send it back.

Very cute bracelet. I have small wrists and struggle with most bracelets, but this ran small, so it hung nicely on my wrist without risking sliding off. I was so sorry to have to send it back.

Beautiful dress, but low cut

I rented this dress for my husband's holiday party with work. The dress is beautiful and runs true to size. It has a deep plunging neckline and revealed too much cleavage for a company event. I ended up wearing my back up dress.

Cute dress, but not my style

I received this dress from RTR when the original dress I had ordered was returned damaged in my size. RTR was fantastic, e-mailing me to let me know of the problem and informing me they were sending a replacement dress. The dress was cute and fit very well, but the lace mock cutout on the sides just isn't me. I didn't feel it was age appropriate, either. This is would be a great dress for a twenty-something.

Elegant and sophisticated

I rented this dress at the last minute when I received an invitation to a work related cocktail party for my husband. Thanks to RTR for having such a great selection of dresses. Even a few days before the event, I was able to choose from a variety of dresses. This dress was perfect for the evening. I needed something glamorous without being overtly sexy. This fit the bill perfectly! I received several complements on the dress with one person even remarking that he had seen a dress similar on one of the Real Housewives shows. There are a few small flaws, though, so I couldn't rate it five stars. First, the lining dress hangs down just a little below the lace shell. It was this way on both the 4 and my backup size 2. I wore the 4, which fit nicely. It is longer than it looks on the model. I am 5' 2 1/2", and it grazed the top of my knees. I wish it had been a little shorter. Other than those two problems, I was delighted. I wore it with black peep toe pumps and carried a black handbag. The blue under dress is so dark that it looks black with black accessories. I wore a silver bracelet and necklace which made the silver on the dress even more spectacular. I forgot to take pictures. Sorry. Great dress!

Nice change from the LBD

I wore this for one of the formal dinners on a recent cruise. It was perfect. While others were in black or red, I stood out in this jewel. I wore it with nude heels and it really popped. The fabric is a heavier weight, which might be too hot for outdoor events, but for indoors, it was fine. Great fit. It skims the body without looking or feeling clingy.

Love, Love Love This Dress, But it does run small

This is the perfect elegant dress. It's sexy without revealing too much anything. Unfortunately, it runs small and due to damage to the size medium (my back up size), I was forced to wear the small. The spandex is very forgiving and helped hold everything in place, despite feeling a bit like a sausage all evening. I wore it to a Captain's Table dinner on our cruise and felt elegant and beautiful. I will probably rent this again for the company Holiday party.

Fun, colorful dress

I wore this dress for my birthday and felt beautiful. I wore a stick on bra because the back is too low cut for a normal bra. I got several complements on it. The hanging loops are attached in such a way that they tend to show. I tucked them towards the front, but one kept trying to peek through the sleeve opening. Also, because of the way the back is cut, it tends to feel like it's slipping off your shoulders (it's not, though.) The hem on both the size 4 and size 6 don't lay flat on arrival, but with a little gentle tugging, I was able to get it to cooperate. I would definitely rent this dress again. It was perfect for a slightly dressed up occasion.

Beautiful earrings, but not right for a petite woman

I received an invitation to upgrade with a stylist surprise and was very excited as I don't have a lot of blingy jewelry. The earrings they sent were lovely and went well with both dresses, unfortunately, I am petite with small features, and they were simply too large and overpowering for me. I would definitely try this again, though. It's always fun to get help with accessories.

Large, heavy earrings

These were sent by RTR as my Mystery Bling. They are very pretty, but for a petite woman, they were too much. They are also very heavy.

Dress runs small, sleeves are VERY small

I rented this dress for an office holiday party. I liked the look of the lace panels on the model. On me, not so much. The sleeves were very tight. I am pretty slim through my arms, and I had to really work to get the sleeves into place. The front is also very plain and screams for a statement necklace, which I din't have. I ended up wearing my backup dress.

Nice necklace

This was a nice necklace, but I didn't end up wearing it. I got it to go with either theory's Mad Crushing On You or Lilly Pulitzer Beauty Within dress. I wore the Lilly Pulizer dress, but the necklace just wasn't quite right with it. Also, my skin reacts with some metals, and after just a few minutes of wearing it, I could smell the metal reacting with my skin.

Love This Dress!!!!!

This dress was my backup for my husband's company party. I wasn't happy with my original choice, so I tried this on and was sold the minute I zipped it up. It fit like a glove, but wasn't tight or binding. I have a bit larger chest than most size 2 ladies, but it fit well. I felt beautiful and sexy in this dress. My husband said it was the best looking black dress I've ever worn. I received many compliments at the party, too. I wish I had more formal events to attend to justify buying this dress. Loved every minute I was in it!

Cute dress, but not Cocktail Party fancy.

I rended this dress for my husband's company party. It was very cute and fit well, but was too plain for a cocktail party. There was no shine or shimmer to the dress, so it looked more like a dressy work outfit. I ended up wearing my backup dress.

Cute dress, wish it had fit

The dress was adorable, but unfortunately, the size 4 dress was stretched out at the top, as if worn by someone who wasn't a size 4. It was so loose I was unable to wear it. Luckily, I had ordered a backup dress just in case.
