Like wearing sexy PJs!
Wore this jumpsuit to a Lizzo concert and it was perfect! Nice and flowy but still flattering. The wide legs disguised the fact that I wore sneakers for comfort! (Length would have been better with heels since I’m short, but didn’t drag with flat shoes.) You can adjust the height of the top by sliding it up and down the straps. I’ve seen other people wear it lower but I wore it higher to cover up stick-on boob covers.

Comfy glam!
I rented this for a friend’s dress-up Oscar party and it was a hit! It runs a little big but in a slinky way and the adjustable straps help. Sequins aren’t too scratchy. Love the slit! Would definitely rent again for another event.

70s Glam!
I wore this for my company’s big winter bash and got a ton of compliments! It’s very comfortable but I had to size up so the straps were very loose and they aren’t adjustable. I tucked them under in the back and put a few stitches in to hold them (that could easily be removed), which solved the problem. I went with stick-on cups since it’s pretty low in the front. Skirt is flowy and a good length even if you’re petite like me.

Cute but busty!
Super cute, love the print/pockets/cut, but I had a few issues with this dress. It's a true button-up - I recommend sizing up or using fashion tape to seal any gaps (like I did). The straps are long so it sat very low on my bust and I had to use fashion tape to keep them from sliding off my shoulders. There's also no give with the fabric - choose your size based on your bust. Tons of compliments, tho!

Perfect for a winter bridal shower!
I wore this for a tea party themed bridal shower in January and it was perfect. I paired it with black tights and black pumps (boots would also be cute). Pretty comfy, choose the size based on your hips since it was a bit more form-fitting than expected.

Rented this for a January wedding reception. Beautiful color! The only thing to be careful of is the sleeves, since the lace tends to get caught on things. Received lots of compliments!

Beautiful color, and comfortable!
Rented for my company holiday party. It ended up being the year of the jumpsuit but I feel like I still stood out with this beautiful color. There's a mesh panel in the back to conceal your bra and a snap in the front to keep it closed (I used fashion tape as a backup).

I rented this as my birthday dress for dinner and a show. The print is very pretty and the hemline is unique/fun! Like lots of other rentals, it was very difficult to get the zipper up over that seam at the waist. Adjustable straps are nice, though!

Unique with lots of sparkle!
I wore this to my work holiday party and got tons of compliments! It definitely stands out, not just because it's a romper but because of the color, too. I'm glad I paired it with tights because I think the sequins would have torn up my thighs (they did put a huge run in my tights). I wore a plunge bra but you could probably get away with a normal bra if you tuck it down. The sleeves were not too tight!

Top five rental, for sure!
This was a last minute substitution for a different rental that didn't work out, and I'm so glad! Super elegant but still fun, love the pockets and the lace detail. I have a hard time wearing long dresses (5'3") so the hi-lo was a perfect compromise. One of my favorite rentals!

Unique style & pretty color!
I rented this for a rehearsal dinner. I wanted to try something different from what I usually rent and the risk paid off! I loved the color and the nude illusion. The straps are long, though, so I couldn't wear a bra. I went with some sticky cups for modesty. Paired this with colorful cork wedges.

I received this necklace as my mystery bling and it worked well with the deep V neckline of the dress I rented. I don't usually like things close to my throat, but this was bearable. One side wasn't laying quite right, but I was able to gently bend it back into place.

Gorgeous color & cut!
One of my favorite rentals! I received so many compliments on the color! This dress was pretty comfy and pockets are always a plus, but the neckline is a little tricky. I wore a plunge bra and plenty of fashion tape. The front is not as high as it looks in my photo - I was holding it because it was windy that evening! But it is hi-lo and shows off your shoes.

Lots of sparkle!
I rented this to see Lady Gaga in concert and it was perfect! Super fun and sexy. The L fit but the XL was more comfortable (sequins didn't rub my thighs as much, more booty coverage). I pinned the straps to fit better and wore a stick-on bra just in case. Easy to get in and out of.

I got this as a back-up dress when there was an issue with my original rental, and I could not be happier! I wore this for my birthday party at a winery and got lots of compliments. I used a belt to give it a bit more shape.

Lightweight, pockets, & beautiful print!
Wore this for an outdoor wedding in August and was very comfortable! The skirt is full without any lining. There are snaps in the straps to hold your bra straps, but I went with a strapless bra because of how it fit me. There's no stretch, so choose your size based on your bust/torso. Love that there are pockets and basically a built-in belt. Lots of compliments!

Perfect Summer Maxi
I wore this for an indoor/outdoor summer wedding in July and it was perfect for the hot weather. The LR was too long and a bit shapeless so I squeezed into the MR. Wish I had been 5lbs lighter, but the length was perfect (maxis can be tricky when you're 5'3"). The slits were pretty high, so don't plan on wearing Spanx!

Flattering, comfy & eye-catching!
Rented for my work holiday party & I received tons of compliments! Definitely a favorite. I'm sure part of it was the cleavage (haha) but it's also a fun & different silhouette. The sleeves are flowy/comfy. The waist nips you in without being constricting. I wore this with a deep V bra and plenty of fashion tape!

Pretty, but not for me!
I rented this as a second option for a May wedding because I wasn't sure what the weather would be like, and ended up going with my first option. The length was fine with heels, but the bust was way too large, even after adjusting the straps. The fabric is pretty but VERY staticky. I'm not sure if that would have gone away after wearing it for a longer time. If you have a small bust, size down!

Stunner for a formal wedding!
I wore this dress to a black tie optional wedding and definitely felt dressed for the occasion. I received tons of compliments from fellow guests - including from people I didn't know! I usually don't like anything up to my collarbone, but I put on my big girl panties (and stick-on bra) and dealt with it so I could show off the dramatic low back. I didn't find the sequins scratchy. The dress is stretchy and forgiving everywhere except the sleeves, so order to fit your upper arms. It does bunch a little in the middle, especially where the side zipper ends. I'm tempted to rent the gold version for a different event!

Perfect summer party dress!
This dress is lined but nice and light. My favorite part other than the beautiful colors is the back (sorry no pic, see the model!). You can wear a normal bra but I needed to use fashion tape, since the sewn-in strings/snaps meant to hold your bra straps in the shoulders were busted. The yellow piping is very pretty and helps break up the pattern. Fits true to size. There's no extra give in the midsection, but with the fit and flare it's forgiving on hips!

Not for petites!
I rented this for my company's holiday party, but didn't end up wearing it because it was not flattering at all! I'm 5'3" and the hem fell below the knee so it looked frumpy. I also should have learned my lesson by now about renting sequined dresses with some kind of seam at the waist - it's nearly impossible to zip them up! Also, the extra fabric at the waist made me look larger in the middle. I would not recommend this dress to other short girls!

Sexy, sparkly stunner!
I rented this as a last-minute replacement for my company's swank holiday party when my original rental wasn't flattering. This dress is "very" everything - sexy, sparkly, and SHORT! I'm 5'3" and felt like I needed to sit carefully in this dress to keep everything covered on the lower half (the dark tights helped). For the top half, I love the sheer neckline/sleeves - it's a great alternative to strapless without feeling matronly. The mesh was stretchy and soft, not confining. Much prettier in person than in the picture - the sequins are a coppery gold mixed with black (the model photos look brownish). They're smooth and don't catch on the sleeves. Lots of appreciative looks and compliments on this one!

Fun and different!
I rented this bracelet to go with the Citrus Tribal Flare Dress. A lot of girls in the review photos were wearing beads in blue shades like this and I thought it looked so pretty, but didn't want to wear a necklace. I normally would not spend this much to rent an accessory, but I got the dress free as my Pro birthday rental. The cuff was larger than expected or what I would usually choose, but looked great with the dress and was fun to wear.

Great fabric and fun print!
I rented this for my birthday and ended up wearing it twice! I wore it to dinner with my husband then to my friends party the next day since no one else got to see how cute it was! The fabric has a nice texture and is heavy without being too hot. Love the pockets, too! I actually used them to carry my phone and you couldn't even tell given the slight fullness in the skirt and thick fabric. I loved the pretty blue beads that a lot of other girls wore in the review photos. I'm not a big necklace fan, so I rented the Out of the Blue Cuff instead. I usually belt little dresses like this but didn't have a belt that went with the color scheme. With the pattern, though, it wasn't as necessary. Love this!

Unique, just enough sparkle
I received these earrings as my Mystery Bling to go with the Kelly To My Green dress I rented for a summer wedding. They were a bit heavier than I would usually go with, but I love the chains (similar to the Lulu Frost Crystal Cruz Pyramid earrings that I've rented previously). They added just the right amount of sparkle for the event!

Perfect for a summer wedding/event!
I rented this dress for a friend's summer wedding and it worked out great. It definitely needs a belt to break up the green. The darker green lining was visible in a few spots (at the neck, under the arms, at the pockets) but if you aren't looking closely, it just seems like trim. (No issues with the attached slip, at least!) I went with a racerback bra and used some fashion tape to keep it from peeking out since the arm holes cut in a bit. Super comfy and the color is nice and bright!

Large but not too heavy
I rented this necklace to go with the Banana Pepper dress. I'm petite (5'3") so I don't usually go for large accessories, but the neckline of the dress is plain so it needed something more substantial. For being metal, the necklace wasn't too heavy - and I easily get claustrophobic with necklaces! I wish it hit below the neckline so you could see it against the red, but that's probably because the dress came down a bit lower than on the model. Definitely a cool piece, if not my usual style!

Great color for spring/summer!
I rented this dress for Easter and it was a hit, especially the color! I received lots of compliments. The dress was comfortable other than the belt, which is incorporated into the dress and has no flex. The 10 fit to a tee, so after a holiday meal the belt was pretty snug! I was worried the split sleeves would constantly fall open, but they stayed on my shoulders most of the time. Great dress for a day-time event!

Comfy, cute sequins!
This dress is cute, fun, and comfy! It's stretchy and the sequins are soft. It photographs gold, but the pink-gold color is very pretty in person. I didn't feel like I needed to pull it up all night, a nice change for a strapless dress! My only complaint would be that the ruching can make it look like the dress is too tight when it's not (it's gathered in odd places).

Very different from the picture, high-waisted and poufy!
I was so disappointed in this dress! I booked it months before my company's holiday party, before there were any reviews or pictures. I wish I had waited! The waist is very high and the tulle is much, much fuller than in the picture. Because of the stretchy fabric, there isn't much definition to the waist and adding a belt didn't help. It doesn't do much for a short girl with a medium bust and a not-tiny waist. Thankfully RTR came through and overnighted me a different dress that was a much better match!

I've ordered the mystery bling with multiple dresses and have always been pleased! I've received either earrings or bracelets that look great with my rental. My only complaint is that the normal rental value has never been over $15. False advertising, somewhat!
