Great, warm jacket!
A little large but a really pretty, soft jacket that can be dressed up or down.

WEIRD fit
These looked (and sounded—NOISY when you walk!) ridiculous on me. Like wearing lawn bags from Home Depot on my legs.

Flimsy
Was hoping for wear this to an office holiday party, but the material is super thin, and it runs extremely small.

Doesn’t close in front
There’s no way I could have worn this dress in public. Top fit fine if a little low cut, but there’s something wrong with the lower half—the skirt needs more material or something because my whole front was completely exposed.

Cute but didn’t wear
I got this in an 18 (regular size 16) and it was still tight around the thighs where the peplum was. Super loose in the chest, though. I didn’t wear.

Sparkly and stylish
This was a replacement for another outfit that didn't work. The sparkles are gold (they look silver on the site), and the material is stretchy and forgiving. I didn't wear because for me, the shoulder that was off and the one that was on (ruffly) should have been swapped to accommodate my hair! Lol.

Cute but very small
This was a replacement for another outfit that didn't work. Could be cute but runs small and is a rather conservative look.

Event canceled, but this was the one!
This is a great, stretchy romper that I rented for my office holiday party (which was canceled at the last minute due to covid!). It was a last-minute grab after my original choice didn't fit and I had second thoughts about the replacements. I opted for the larger size in this one--the smaller size was uncomfortable in the neck and crotch. Definitely would have broken out the fashion tape for this one. It's probably not conducive to a strapless bra being as low cut as it is.

Gorgeous bling!
These earrings are amazing! The picture doesn't do them justice. They're very true to the color in the picture and will jazz up about any green, black or whatever dress! They seem heavy but never really bothered my ears at all. Lovely!

Didn't get to wear but will rent again!
Excuse my lack of makeup. ;) I rented this in the event that I wore a backup dress and ended up wearing the other one (which sadly didn't go with the necklace). But I LOVED this piece so I had to rate it. It's huge and heavy but not overbearing. It would be perfect with a strapless dress, and the price can't be beat! I'll definitely rent this again.

Mardi Gras perfection!
Faces obscured to protect the innocent. ;) This was probably my fifth time or so renting from RTR, and it was another flawless experience! This dress had quite a bit of stretch to it, so while the 8 fit well on the bottom, it was too big on top. So I went with the 6, which fit great all over with the help of spanx. The bottom of the dress is fun and flouncy -- fun to dance in! It's a safe but unique departure from the black dress.

Beautiful!
These earrings were so lovely, but I rented them to go with the Countdown Couture dress, which was way too dark for the color of the stones. These earrings are more of a dark blue topaz color than a sapphire. But they are just gorgeous -- sad I couldn't make them work!

Pretty, but...
This dress looked so much better on other women who've worn it! The fit on me was just OK. The bodice pinched at the top and the dress left an unsightly bulge in the midsection, even with shapewear. The metallic threads that ran throughout were a bit frayed, which wasn't noticeable when looking at the dress head-on, but I could tell from the side. Glad I had the BCBG Max Azria Deep Blue Sea gown as my backup. Loved it!

Mardi Gras perfection in my backup dress!
This dress was my backup (decided against the Nicole Miller Exquisite Eliza gown - washed me out and was uncomfortable), and the color made me love it before I put it on. The material is silky and lush without being too shiny, and the flow is lovely. It was a bit too long, which I remedied with double-sided tape, and I slapped some up top because I'm fairly small-chested. The fit was great, and I'm so glad I went with it! The jewel detail on the side is beautiful, and I got lots of compliments!

Pretty cute!
Very pretty dress -- nice to deviate from the usual black! I wasn't in love with the strap, which was a bit loose and called attention to my broad shoulders, but it was overall a really nice, comfy dress!

Dramatic!
These earrings are gorgeous and match just about anything. I wore with Nicole Miller's Majestic Waters gown, and it was a great look. The only problem with them is that they're pretty heavy.
