Too short, too tight, awkward fit
Awkward fit, too tight in the hips, too loose everywhere else. The shoulders were too narrow and puffed out. Wayyyyy too short to be respectable for a tall girl

Perfect, as always
Herve Leger for the win again. The contrast pattern and fit made this dress a super success. So comfy and flattering. I wish the size small was available, but the medium worked. A little loose on the straps and bust, but an eye catcher!!!

Sexy, elegant and still unique
This gown by Cadena was gorgeous. The pattern, the symmetry, the fabric and the cut. I ended up wearing this dress with flats even though I ordered a long. The detail and fabric on this gown was an eye catcher. With the thigh high slot, it was sexy without being revealing. I loved this gown, just wish I was a little longer! The floral is even more elegant in person!!!!

Fun and flirty. Definitely unique!
This dress was on my list for months! I finally had a great time to wear it! The waist was snug and fit well. The top was toooooo large and even with a push-up bra, was gaping all night with the boning. The fun flouncy skirt was not even close to the architectural detail I was hoping for. Too soft, maybe needed an extra press to accent the detail of the layers of this dress. The color was perfect with a tan and a fun party dress, but the fit was too awkward to feel comfy.

Short, short, short
Too short on my 6' tall body. Tried on and would have needed to wear shorts to make it acceptable. Originally rented for the Vegas vibe, but because of the length, I couldn't even wear this out. Beautiful construction and detail.

Too big
Did not wear, the size was way too large, baggy, saggy with loose sleeves and hips. As a woman with larger hips than ribcage, I ordered up in size and was unable to wear this dress. Also the texture was sporadically covered in large sequins. I was so looking forward to this stunning dress, would to rent in a smaller size.

Stunning color, impeccable design
This dress was beautiful with unique cuts and accents. There is zero stretch to this fabric and I'm glad I ordered the backup size as I needed help with the zipper on the larger size 8! This dress is elegant, sexy and more conservative than some due to the longer length. Being 6' tall, sometimes length is an issue. This dress made me feel stunning into the late hours in Vegas! Love this cut, but perhaps may be made for a shorter torso. Gorgeous!!!!

Bright pink in a sea of tuxedoes
This dress wasn't quite what I was expecting. The color is actually almost the same thing on the top and bottom. I'm so thankful for the free sample of fashion tape from RTR as it was needed. The back of the dress is completely open so I didn't wear a bra and needed the tape to anchor the front cross strap. Got tons of compliments! Fun and flowy to dance all night. At 6 feet tall, I had to wear flats with the size 6L and it skimmed my shoes. I wish the waist on the size 8 was smaller and heels would have made this a showstopper!

Bright yellow and flowy fun!
This dress was brighter than the photos, a vibrant yellow. Accessorized perfectly with gold jewelry and gold sandals. A little short on my talk frame. Also the waistband was tight but the bust was loose. Worn with no bra but felt covered enough. Spring fling!

Miami Wedding Attire at its BEST!!!!
This stunning flowy, loose-fitting, silk, bright pullover was perfect for an April Miami wedding. So much fun to dance in. The bottom hem sold me -very dance friendly! Lots of compliments. Worn with high hot pink platforms and neon pink lipstick. Thakoon, well done.

Purchased this from the sale. Love the feathered bottom and contrast top. The top is more peach colored. The open back is super sexy but still wearable.

Worn all day shopping in NYC!
If I could buy this dress, it would be on the top of my list! It fit beautifully. Thick rich fabric-definitely a winter or fall dress. I wore with leggings and boots touring the city and even wore it on the plane home. Love this designer!!!

Fun, funky and unique!
This dress was an easy fit, slip on. Worn with tights and heels. Not a shape-catching dress. The question mark is made of sequins and large faux pearls. The details are much trendier in person! Loved this fun rental!

Worn this to meet Bradley Cooper after his play in NYC!
As always, I size up in Lela Rose. This fabric was luxe and stunning. Bold colors and a cute cupcake style! For my height, I wore tights since it was a little short for winter. Lela Rose to the rescue again!

Berry beautiful!
The size 6 felt better but the size 8 was a little longer on my 6 foot frame. I chose to wear black tights since it was freezing! The lace on the sleeves was a little itchy or irritating but I got used to it. Beautiful pop of color besides red for the holidays.

Comfortable and unique black dress
Bust area was a little roomy so I was nervous about readjusting all night. I love the length and detail around the bottom of the dress. Worn with a chunky christmas green necklace and gold flats. Easy to wear, elegant and feminine!

Classic cut with a modern twist
This navy dress is grace kelly meets Audrey Hepburn meets 2015. The top is fitted with plenty of coverage. The petticoat underneath is rather poofy, especially in the rear which made me choose the size 6. I love the pop of cobalt at the trim. Worn with sparkly flats and simple gold bangles. This dress speaks for itself and I loved the compliments all night long! Fun and flirty but make sure you have room to make way for your puffy train! Loved it!

So unique, got complimented all night
This dress was beautiful. The gold lace is so intricate. The contrast between the gold and black were so elegant. Cons: a little short on my 6 foot frame. Also the sleeves had oddly placed zippers on wrists that were still baggy. By the end of the night, the 5 hooks on the lace started buckling. But overall a stunning look for an anniversary weekend in NYC

Statement Earrings To The Max
These earrings were totally worth the rental! They are bold and sophisticated without looking like you are trying too hard. I didn't need any other jewelry (worn with the long moschino golden yellow dress) My only complaint is that, being clip-on earrings, my ears started to feel the pain and weight of these hefty earrings by the end of the night! Absolutely perfect for my night at the gala

Chic, elegant and eye-catching
I rented this gown for a charity gala. Being so tall, I was concerned about the length of this dress but found with 2 inch heels, it was perfect! The fit of this dress is snug but comfortable. I had a hard time with gaping on the non-strap shoulder and felt a little exposed. also, this dress fabric is nit thick and I had to find just the right undergarments to make it work. Overall, a comfortable stunner in a vibrant rich golden yellow!

Bridal Shower Bliss!
When I first saw this dress months ago, I knew this would be the dress of my dreams for my bridal shower. Without a doubt, one of the most elegant dresses I have worn. This dress has a watercolor type pattern and the fabric is slightly like a crinkled chiffon- very lightweight. The lightness and float fabric adds to the summer vibe. I usually wear a size six, but even the 8 was tight on my ribcage and bust. Such a fun flowy dress- I was heartbroken when sending it back!

Glam But Tiny
I ended up not wearing this bracelet to my bridal shower. It was too much bling and weight for my overall look. I only put this bracelet on once- it was so small that it left bruises on my wrist from trying to slide around my wrist bone. This is a cuff with NO expansion and NO flexibility. Unless you are teeny tiny boned, chances are it won't fit.

Did Not Wear, Didn't Even See It In Person
I rented this dress for my bachelorette party, but was called the day of shipping to find out the dress was damaged beyond repair. RTR's customer service team was so helpful and provided me immediate options and explained what would happen next. Thanks, Janna, for being on top of things!

Sexy with class
This dress was amazing! It was definitely curve hugging, but with the longer length and sleeves, I did not feel over-exposed. This dress definitely shows underwear lines, so go with spans or something seamless. Also, I had a hard time finding a bra that fit underneath without peeking out due to the low cut. All in all, a new favorite! Perfect bachelorette dress!,,,,
