Felt beautiful and got compliments, but the boning was painful - wouldn't rent again
This dress was sent as a replacement when the dress I had selected became unavailable at the last minute. I was really happy with the fabric and the fit of it when it arrived and loved the pockets. The pattern is beautiful and it was perfect for a wedding. Unfortunately, within about 15 minutes of putting it on, I realized the boning was poking me in multiple places and spent the night trying to adjust the dress. I couldn't wait to get it off (12 hours later - long wedding) and had red marks from all the places the boning had been. I was afraid it was going to break the skin if I wore it longer. It was a gorgeous dress but unfortunately I can't recommend it.

Not flattering on an hourglass figure
This dress was sent to me as a replacement option when the dress I had selected became unavailable at the last minute. The service department was great with trying to help me find a suitable option and overnighting the dress to my hotel, but unfortunately it just wasn't flattering at all on my short hourglass frame, so I didn't wear it. It would be beautiful on someone taller and thinner. Also to note - it zips up easily but is tricky to unzip due to the lace, so have extra hands for help!

A good replacement though not my original choice for my wedding day
I have always had great success with Ben Amun, so this was my go-to when my original selection wasn't available for my wedding. It definitely makes a statement and was a beautiful addition to my look

So glamorous for a black tie wedding
A little tight up top on a 36D - there just wasn't enough space, even without a bra. Otherwise fit beautifully and photographed well. Gorgeous color!

Bright and fun for engagement photos
Soft and comfortable fabric, and I felt beautiful in it. Did get a little hot walking around outside in August but the dress didn't show it

Didn't ship to my addrwss
The dress never made it in time for my birthday because UPS couldn't coordinate shipment to my address at the time. I got credited for the rental and have rented many times since moving - recommend RTR to all my friends!

This dress just didn't work
Rented this for a wedding and was very excited based on reviews. It zipped up just fine but was very unflattering on my hourglass figure. Most dresses work really well for me, but this one seemed to make me look larger and didn't work at all! RTR sent me another dress overnighted in time for the wedding!

Gorgeous print
I don't normally wear prints but this was just as nice in person. A very pretty conservative dress, wore to my friend's rehearsal dinner. It was tight in the bust and the fabric really doesn't give or stretch, so somewhat uncomfortable after eating/sitting. It was perfect for the occasion but not my most favorite rental.

RTR saved the day!
This dress was overnighted to my hotel when the dress I rented just wasn't working for me. The customer service couldn't have been better - they sent me a whole list of available dresses to choose from, and this dress turned out far better than the one I had originally selected. I couldn't have been happier with the rental and the service!

Gorgeous color, perfect for a summer wedding
Loved this dress and felt great in it!! Only tricky part was the back - when I sat down or stood from sitting, it would pull down so my strapless bra was showing. Even fashion tape didn't fix it. So I was checking on and tugging up the back all night. May be better for ladies who can go braless.

Felt so confident in this dress
Wore this to my graduation and it was perfect for the occasion! It fit fairly tight around my ribcage and chest (was barely able to wear the 10, and I'm usually an 8 in tops). Loved the open back - worked great with a regular strapless bra (no adjustments or weird bras needed). The bottom is quite short so be careful bending over! The fabric is thick but was very comfortable... Tons of compliments as always with RTR dresses!

So stunning, photographed beautifully and felt great to wear
Got tons of compliments on this dress - loved the color and the lace. Only con was that it fit tight across my thighs which made it pretty tricky to sit down in... And I wore it for a commencement banquet sit-down meal. It was also somewhat loose in the rear, which dresses never are on me - so basically the bottom half was out of proportion for my body. Wouldn't have picked a different size though. Loved that it had pockets! Would recommend for cocktails or other standing affairs.

Tons of compliments!
I wore this necklace twice during my rental period: the first night I wore it, my boyfriend proposed! And the second day was for graduation. It was absolutely unforgettable. It's very comfortable, light, and delicate. Everyone loved it! Wish I could keep it!

Love what they pick!
Wish I could still figure out how to select this option for rentals because I love the surprise, and the stylists always pick such great things!
Loved the color and design of the bracelet - so glamorous!
Others all said that it fit their wrists without issue, and it did for mine as well... until I wanted to move my wrist. Then it would pop open. Granted I may have giant wrists, but my wrist was sore the next day from constantly hitting the bracelet. Wouldn't rent it again but highly recommend to those with smaller wrists!

Loved the sparkle, looked great on and in photos
Ordered the 10 and 12, but the 12 was stretched out so I ended up wearing the 10. Perfect for New Years! Got lots of compliments.
