This dress was PERFECTION for my NYC bridal shower. The lines and material are completely crisp and clean, the asymmetrical hem is flirty and fun (and kind of feels like a mini-train!), and it's actually comfortable! I felt so beautiful all day. It was a perfect winter-event dress, and it's quite opaque, which was pleasantly surprising.

I wore this for one of my bridal showers. It was a bright pop of color in a sea of neutrals. The length is lady-like, but the body skimming cut is very sexy. The sleeves on here are a *bit* more flexible than most lace dresses, though I still couldn't lift my arms above my head. I received many compliments and felt beautiful. The construction of this dress is excellent. I highly recommend this!

I received compliments on this dress all night long! The material is very comfortable, and the skirt swings when you dance, which I love. It's best to wear with a strapless bra. The colors are vibrant and fresh, and it was perfect for a July wedding in upstate NY. Definitely wish I owned this one!

I wore this dress for my agency's Fall Benefit at the Metropolitan Club, and it was a perfect fit for the "Festive Attire" description. The long sleeves made sure I was warm on a chilly November night, but the detail on the "brooch" and sleeves makes the dress SO attention-grabbing! I received many compliments from attendees that night -- including Joan Rivers! It was actually VERY comfortable too, which is plus for a long evening. The skirt is a nice short-ish length so the dress doesn't feel too dowdy. I loved wearing it!

This is my favorite dress I've ever rented from RTR. The fit/cut is incredible (thanks, Zac). The halter is comfortable, the material is silky, but doesn't reveal too much underneath (it's thick enough to lay smooth all the time). The color is this rich, deep, shiny blue in real life, which the photo doesn't read necessarily. I felt sexy, but not overtly so at my friend's wedding. Most reactions to the dress were just a dropped jaw. It's comfortable to sit and dance in too. Would be great for any cocktail party or date.

I tend to like dresses a bit tighter, and this one was relatively forgiving. It was very comfortable to wear (sometimes sequin dresses are itchy), and super fun for a covered up look. The white on the back is all sequins too, which I didn't know when I rented it. I wish I owned this dress - it's perfect for a zillion occasions. It wasn't too short either.

I love the color and detail on this dress, but I didn't like that there is NO give in the arms, which are all lace. I had to end up wearing the 4 to accommodate my arms (which are honestly quite slim...), which then meant that the body was a bit loose. I liked the way the 2 body fit better, and just wish it has been a bit more comfortable overall. I like stretchier dresses, and this one is quite stiff. However, everyone that saw this on me said I should buy it. It's very classy and covered up, but still feminine and special.

This dress was super comfortable to wear to a wedding in Charleston, SC. I loved the cutaways at the top (it makes your shoulder blades look great!), and it is great for a smaller bust. (A large bust may not work with the A-line shape of the dress.) It wasn't too short, but still felt flirty. It doesn't hug around the middle, and it was easy to dance in. I didn't notice the blue around the flowers toward the bottom, but it's a nice accent. I wore the dress with nude shoes, which worked well (black didn't for me).

I wore this to a black-tie gala in NYC and received many compliments. It was quite short (esp. when sitting down). The cut is very low, but I'm small up top so it fit fine. I wore my hair up to avoid having it tangled in the sequins. It was very comfortable. I wore it with nude stockings since it was so cold out, and I didn't love that. This is better worn without stockings, so preferably in a warmer climate. Would be fun for any party where sparkle is required!
