Fun long dress
I rented this for a black tie optional wedding. It was definitely a fun choice with the cutout! I rented a long size after reading reviews. I wore the larger size as the dress was pretty fitted throughout the hips. The color is not as green as it appears in my picture--I had to lighten my picture to show the dress better. It is the teal blue color as pictured on the website. I wore nude shoes but the dress could be paired with any color shoes and a variety of jewelry. Very versatile!

Summer dress
I really wanted to love this dress. In fact, I had seen it online months before renting it and considered buying it. I rented it to try out the size, and I'm happy I did a rental because I then decided against buying it. The dress is adorable, but the fit is a little bit odd on my body type. It is not fitted enough at the waist, which gives it a baggy appearance. The dress itself had definitely been worn as the color was not as vibrant blue as to be expected. I actually think this dress looks better in photos than it does in real life. Otherwise, it is a very cute summer dress that would be great for an outdoor event or party.

Fun costume dress
I rented this dress for a 1920's themed party. Such a fun dress! The dress was in pristine condition and looked barely worn. It was VERY short. I sized up because of the length and even then it was short and tight in the hips. I could have probably worn a large size. I wore black tights as well. Definitely more of a costume/party dress.

Classy winter dress
I rented this from the RTR store in Chicago. Very classy dress. The length comes right to the knee. Perfect for a winter wedding. Conservative enough to wear in church. The color was more maroon as opposed to the black/red contrast shown in the photo. Warning for ladies with wide hips--this dress does not have any give. I was not able to pull the skirt up to go to the bathroom--dress had to be taken off from above.

Best rental in years
This was by far my best rental in years. I rented this as my birthday dress as a pro member. An incredible dress for the price. The fit was extremely flattering on all body types. Thick material that has a decent amount of stretch. At first I was surprised that this dress did not have a zipper, but the stretchy material fit comfortably over my head. I wore with black shoes but would look great with nude or a colored heel. Would definitely rent this dress again.

This dress is a great option for any event.
I rented this dress for a fall evening wedding. As mentioned in previous reviews, the material is much heavier than expected. This makes it a great option for colder temperatures. The top is very snug and the skirt flares out just above the hips. It seemed to me the flare was a little more dramatic than it looks on the model.The dress looks great with nude heels. A piece of jewelry is a must--make sure you have one to go with the dress!

I loved wearing this dress--It was comfortable, classy, and great for a formal occasion.
I rented this dress for a summer wedding. It looks much different in person than on the RTR model. It is actually a longer length than it looks on the model, making it an appropriate length for a wedding. Fitted through the bodice and very classy! The material is a light lining with a lace overlay. There is also a shimmer to it--would look great with metallic heels and jewelry. The fit is very comfortable. Definitely a great rental!

Great for a daytime occasion!
I rented this dress for my day time outdoor engagement party, and it was a perfect dress for such an occasion. It is modest and classy, and looks great with all different kinds of jewelry or shoes. The print is beautiful and unique. The material is more of a satin/silk. I think it ran a bit large--my normal size felt a little bit baggy. Flattering on all body types. A great rental!

Love this dress! Wish it was mine to keep
I rented this dress to wear out to dinner for my fiance's birthday. It is such a fun dress and I would love to wear it again. The material is thick and feels very durable. I wore the larger size because of the length. The size 4 fit all around but was way too short, so I wore the 6 to keep it an appropriate length. It is still very short, so might not be the most appropriate for all affairs. The dress is great because it can be dressed up with heels, or dressed down with flats/sandals and a jacket. Definitely worth the rental.

Good for a formal affair
I wore this dress to a formal wedding last summer. It is a very beautiful dress and a good choice for a formal affair. However, the material is a huge downside. I do not normally have sensitive skin, and my skin was very irritated by the material. The sequins and rough texture of the dress irritated my skin to a very uncomfortable extent. By the end of the day, I had large red scratches on my underarms and what looked like a red rash on my forearms from the motion of my arms bumping against my sides. The dress also snags quite easily. Overall, the dress was beautiful and photographs well.

Beautiful Dress
I wore this dress to a friend's wedding and was comfortable the whole night. Such a beautiful dress and beautiful color. The fit is very flattering. The back is low so I wore a Nu Bra. The material is a sturdy knit which is also very supportive. The small fit perfectly. I would absolutely love to wear this dress again.
