Classic + clean
Such a lovely dress that I got so many compliments on! I rented it for a work event, and was very happy with the length and that it was work-appropriate but still feminine and fun. It is pretty long, mid-calf length, and runs true to size. I usually wear a 2 but the only size available was a 0 which I could still wear but that was not comfortable! Highly recommend this dress.

Show-stopper!
I love this dress. I rented it to wear to a wedding and it was a hit. The colors are lovely, bright and summery and the pattern is flattering. The cutouts and exposed zipper are very unusual but add a great style to the dress. The only issue I had with it was that the silk lining kept catching on my legs, which were a bit sticky from sunless tanner and sweat, So just keep that in mind if you're at an outdoor event in the summer. I probably could have worn the size up to get a little more room around my rib cage and my thighs (it was a bit tight), but it wouldn't have looked as good I don't think, This is a great dress, prepare to be complimented all night if you rent it!

Chic and sexy
I rented this for work and I loved it! Very flattering, very sexy but still covered up and mostly professional (especially with a blazer or a statement necklace). I wore by backup size (S), which is bigger than what I usually wear (XS) in this brand, and might even consider going up to a medium next time I rent because the dress kept riding up on my as I walked and was tight around my rib cage when I sat for long periods of time. It still looked really good, though. And the length was wonderful, right under my knee. Very flattering. And unusual for someone with a long torso and long legs! Highly recommend this dress as long as you get bigger backup sizes! Super sexy, chic and cute.

So comfy and cute
I rented this for a work event and it was great. I rented my typical size (a 2) and it fit well. My only complaint is that I have muscular calves and the bottom of the leg of the pants below the knee fit a bit tight as a result. Not sure if going up a size would have been worth it since it fit well otherwise, and it did stretch out through the day, but something to think about. Also, it fit well up top since I have a small chest, but I would imagine you might want to go up a size if you have a large chest because the fabric doesn't have much give. Super comfy, chic and cute!

Great Pattern!
This was a very memorable dress! I loved it; it hit right above the knee on me and the size small fit me nearly perfectly. The neoprene fabric is very forgiving and reasonably comfortable, but it is very form-fitting. It made it so I had to go a size up from my normal so it didn't ride up my legs when I walked, and it fit a bit looser on the arms. I have long arms and the sleeves were actually long enough! The print on this dress was really amazing, too, no need for accessories since it was so stunning by itself. A great dress! I really loved it.

Bright & Attention-Getting!
I got a lot of compliments on this dress when I wore it to a cocktail party at work -- I paired it with ankle boots and black tights along with coral lips -- and it was certainly a statement dress because of the color! It was tight around the hips but fit well otherwise, it was also very short so I'm not sure I would have worn it without tights underneath. It does have cute little pockets in it, and I found once I put the dress on that the bow details near the shoulders have little holes in them, which did make it tough to wear a normal bra. I would recommend wearing a strapless bra so you don't have to worry about that (and it is a bit of a boatneck at the top, too, so my straps occasionally showed on my shoulders). Definitely order one size up as a backup since it is really tight around the hips and is short. Great color, though!

Delicate & Understated
These were smaller and very understated, which was perfect with the dress I paired them with. The stones are matte black, and they have a touch of rhinestone detail in the middle but only hang a little off your earlobe. If you're looking for something darker, a little low-key, but still elegant these earrings are for you!

Fabulous!
I really loved this dress and got tons of compliments on it all night! I wore it to a formal wedding in NYC in November and it was perfect. Size-wise, the long is very long which is great for me because I have long legs and like to wear high heels and can usually never find dresses to rent that are long enough. The 2 fit mostly true to size, it was just a bit tight around the hips but not uncomfortable. It stayed up on my shoulders well despite the plunging neckline, and it was a bit loose around the bust but I have a VERY small bust so if you have a little more there you should be fine. The slit is not really visible when you walk, but when you sit is a bit high but not inappropriate at all. I would recommend just wearing pasties with this, since you can't wear anything that connects in the front or back because of the neckline (which is the same in the back), and brining wardrobe tape to keep it stuck to your chest and shoulders. The lace detail is beautiful and the color of this dress is show-stopping. Prepare to be noticed in this!

Muted Cuff
I rented this to go with an evening gown I wore to a wedding in NYC in November and it fit well, though it was a bit muted because of the matte sequins on it. I'm not a huge fan of cuffs, and this one was a bit heavy-looking because of how dark it was. It did fit fine, though, and my dress made a huge statement so I wanted my jewelry to be a little more low-key, which this definitely was. If you need a dark-colored cuff this would work fine, it's just not my personal favorite.

Comfy & Sophisticated!
These pants were GREAT! I wish I could have bought them, they were so comfortable and really perfect for a chilly evening in NYC. I wore them to a rehearsal dinner in November and we had to do a lot of walking outside as you always have to in NYC, so I was glad I chose these because they were really warm but still fancy. They are pretty flattering even though they are loose (not too loose). Just a note, though: I wouldn't say they run large -- I wore a 2 which is my normal size -- but they are a bit heavy with all the sequins and don't have an adjustable waistband or belt loops. Just something to think of. The dark color of the sequins was perfect for an evening event. Overall very cute! I got compliments all night.

AMAZING Bag!
This bag was perfect for my trip to NYC in the fall! It was large enough with good structure to hold quite a bit of stuff and the detachable, adjustable shoulder strap made it so that it could go from day to night very easily. During the day I used it as a cross-body bag around town -- it has a good amount of pockets inside and it latches on the top very securely -- and at night I took the strap off and kept it around my wrist. The horsehair on the top of the bag and the textured leather are also nice design touches. I wish I could afford to buy this for daily use! It's really a great (and large) bag.

Great Little Purse!
This was a super-cute purse that I rented for New Year's Eve; it's very versatile since it's colors are somewhat neutral and the hard, plastic-like material on the front side of it adds a really unexpected touch. It has a nice long, durable chain strap, too, that completely tucks in if you want to use it as a clutch. It has a bit of a retro style with the top closure but it really was a great find for NYE. It is, though, really pretty small (as most evening clutches are) so just be aware of that. It only fit my ID, a small mirror and my phone.

Sparkly & Cute!
I wore this for a formal work event, so the tea length and the modest neckline with the heavy sequins were really perfect. In person, the dress is a bit more peachy and the black sequins strewn throughout the design are a little more obvious than in the picture (where I think it looks more silver), but it was the perfect dress for this occasion. I wore the 2 because it was a little loose up top when I tried on the 4, even though the 2 was a touch tight under my armpits. I felt like this ran a little large. Overall, the ideal dress for a formal work function or a cocktail party where you need to be demure but still a little fun!

Stunning!
The dark color and muted sequins in this dress are to die for. I wore it at a wedding with black tights and ankle boots, and it was a real head-turner. I was getting compliments all night! I ordered both a 2 and a 4, and found that while both dresses were the same length, the 2 fit me better up top because I have a small bust. The dress is pretty short, but not too short, and the low back is very sexy. The only (slight) issue I had with this dress was that, because of the low back, it was a little loose on my sides. But overall a great dress!

Statement Piece!
This purse was the perfect compliment to my outfit -- a statement but not too strong that it took away from my whole look. It was a good size for an evening bag and opened and closed easily but was still secure when it closed. My only complaint was that the metal strap (while dainty and beautiful) broke the minute I put the bag over my shoulder. So while I was fine wearing it as a true clutch, it would have been nice if the strap was working. Overall, though, really cute!

These earrings were absolutely beautiful! I wish the picture I submitted was better, because it really doesn't do these earrings justice. They are exquisite, and unique, and simply stunning. I wanted to wear them with everything! They aren't too heavy, and show up well through most colors of hair. They compliment most styles and colors of clothes, and really make a statement. Rent these if you want to have the most talked about earrings at a party!

Beautiful (and large)!
I wore this with a fab red dress and the subtle red beads in this pair of earrings worked perfectly with it! The earrings are very large, and somewhat heavy, but aren't uncomfortable at all. The only downside to wearing them is that they are a pewter-toned black metal, so they don't match silver, white gold or yellow gold jewelry; they pretty much need to be worn alone (which they are dramatic enough for) or with another pewter-toned black metal cuff or something. Very beautiful, though, you will love these!

Gorgeous, ravishing in red!
I absolutely love this dress! It's sexy in an understated way, and is very comfortable. It does run large (I am usually a 4 but wore a 2 and it was still big around the bust and waist), but the high-low is done in a tasteful way and it's really quite a beautiful red color, too; one that many women can wear. You could wear this to a cocktail party, or to work (especially with tights and booties in the winter) and be comfortable and show-stopping all day! I highly recommend this dress, just remember to rent a size or two down!

Cute!
I wore this at a pageant for a few minutes onstage, and it was very cute! It was nice and understated, fit well, and the lace was sexy but still adorable. I got many compliments! It was a touch short (and I don't have terribly long legs), and I chose the size down since I didn't have to sit in it. If I did wear it out for a night on the town or anywhere I would be scooting in and out of booths or getting out of cars (or sitting down at all), I would definitely wear the size 4 (my normal size). While it would be a touch big around the waist, it would be a more comfortable length. Very chic! A great choice if you want to be understated but fashionable.

Sparkly & Festive!
I liked this dress, but didn't love it. It was really cute but didn't fit me terribly well; it was loose around the middle and the sleeves were too short (which I expected to happen since I have really long arms). The length was fine, though. As other reviewers have noted, it is a bit darker than it looks on the RTR site because it is lined with black fabric, but I liked it and didn't find it to be an issue. I found it ran a touch big as I wore a 2 but most of the time wear a 4 but think its a very cute party dress regardless! It was reasonably comfortable and really does turn heads with its sequins and sparkle!

Gorgeous Statement Necklace!
I rented this necklace for a party and it was just amazing! It was large but not too large, and colorful but not too colorful; striking in the perfect way. I liked that it was silver rather than gold and that it had the bright yellow stones in the middle. It fit perfectly with the neckline I had, and I got a ton of compliments on it when I wore it. The only drawback I found is that the necklace is not adjustable so you have no options as far as length to match and compliment shirt and dress necklines. Otherwise, this is definitely a statement piece! I highly recommend it to dress up a simple outfit.

Cute & Colorful Dress!
This dress was cute, colorful and flattering! It was a great dress for work, and I wore it to a New Year's Eve party with tights and a small belt since it was super cold outside. I found the 4 was a touch too big for me around my waist, but the 2 was a bit too small, especially since the material of the dress has no stretch in it at all. I would say it fit pretty true to size, and the cut and pattern make this dress very flattering. I got lots of compliments on it, and the blues and greens in the pattern are really quite beautiful. I would recommend this dress for a work event, a wedding, a shower or a casual event. It's really cute and comfortable!

Absolutely Stunning Dress!
I LOVE this dress! I wore it for a night out on the town around the holidays and it was just amazing. Reasonably comfortable (for a short, sequined dress!) and very flattering, I got so many compliments on this dress the entire evening! The lower back is very sexy, and the small shoulder pads give a good balance to the shape of the dress. I opted for the smaller size; I typically wear a 4 but went with the 2 because it fit around my waist a little tighter and created a better silhouette. It is a pretty short dress, which is something to keep in mind, but it didn't bother me at all. It is a head-turning dress that will make you feel beautiful and sexy all night long! I highly recommend this dress!

Cute, Modern & Whimsical Clutch!
I used this clutch for a night out on the town with a fabulous Milly dress! It is chic, modern and very fashionable; it has wonderful and whimsical details that set it a bit apart from other gold and black clutches. For example, it has small gold rivets on the top, and rather than leather, the black material that closes the bag is an acrylic plastic. The gold is a nice shade - not too yellow - and not too shiny or bright. Excellent to wear with a black and gold dress. Chic and fun!

Perfect Holiday Dress!
I rented this dress for a formal event at the Bel-Air Country Club in early December and it was simply perfect for the occasion. Beautiful dress! It fit me nearly perfect, it was just a touch tight under the arms and a little loose around the bust (though I have a small bust), but I felt it fit true to size. The colors are perfect for the holiday season and the fit was really flattering. It was a touch longer - about at my knees - and I liked that, it was a very classic silhouette and perfect for holiday parties and formal work events. I would highly recommend this dress!

This is my absolute favorite RTR dress ever! The color is amazing - a deep pink/purple that is very bright and rich and fresh and trendy. It has a touch of structured peplum at the waist, and a sexy slit up the middle. The slit is a little too high to wear at work in my opinion, and you show quite a bit of leg when you sit down, but for a wedding, cocktail party or a date this dress would steal the show! I received tons of compliments when I wore it and felt like a queen!

These earrings were amazing! They were big enough to be a statement piece, but not too large that they were too heavy or too distracting.

I love this dress! It was very flattering - the peplum is in the perfect location on the waist - and very comfortable.

Very flattering, but a touch small!
I wore this for a work event, and I chose to wear the 6 (a size up from my normal size). I would be comfortable wearing a 4 (my normal size) for a wedding, a date, or a non-work function, but I decided to go with the 6 for work, even though I wore it with black tights, ankle booties and a large stone necklace (which was really cute). It was a bit tight on the bust and waist, and a bit short for work but great and mostly true to size for a personal or non-work social event. Comfortable material, flattering cut, and modest at the neckline regardless of shortness in length. I recommend it!

Weird fit, great print.
This dress definitely runs a size small - I normally wear a size 4 and I ordered a 6 (and 8 as an extra) and the 6 fit well. The seam on the skirt above the ruffle is really tight on the thighs, but it was still comfortable to sit and walk in the dress. The print is fabulous! The sleeves and the waist fit just fine. I would recommend getting a size up from what you typically wear, but this dress is great for a cocktail party!
