It's really a beautiful dress
This was the one I wore. Pockets. Big ballroom skirt and beautiful details. It is LOW cut. I tried fashion tape that eventually didn't work. I had to wear taller heels. Probably closer to 3 inches (I'm a shorty). So many compliments. Did I mention pockets?

AMAZING Details
I liked this dress a lot and it didn't get worn as it is a more "it's me not you" type of thing. The lining hugs your curves. If it was just my booty -- fine, but it was my booty, belly and other unwanted areas I didn't want to highlight, ha. The length was perfect for 2-ish inch heels. The sleeves have zippers on them to get on easier. The liner does come below a regular bra padding in the chest area so strapless or a low-front bra.

I want to buy it!
This wasn't formal enough for me for a gala but I want it in my closet. The sparkle is amazing and fits extremely well.

Great Cold Weather Formal Dress
I absolutely love this one online and when I received in person. It just wasn't a crowd favorite. The v-neck is not too low. The length worked well and helllllo pockets! I really wanted it to work but maybe another time.

Fall D.C. Wedding
I'm 5'2'' and the dress was a great length without having to wear heels over 3 inches tall (win!); It is VERY Fitted. Fits like a glove that you can move around in but mermaid at the bottom (can't walk fast in it ha). Beautiful "wine" color and just a great dress for the colder months.

Fairy Tale Wedding
What do you do when you're 8 months pregnant and have a a black tie optional wedding? You visit a RTR store if you can. Hannah reviewed my account & short list and pulled this show stopper out. It's a stretchy material (believe it or not!) and worked perfect in more ways than one. I am 5'2" and was not going to wear tall heels (these are very short heels). It is snug around my baby bump but not to the point where you can't breath or uncomfortable for the baby. Easily can sit down in it. Black is always flattering and received so many compliments. With this baby weight, I was about 150 lbs. I also didn't wear a bra. Thick enough for coverage there and wasn't spilling out.

What Copper Dreams Are Made Of
This dress runs bigger! I was rocking a 14 week pregnant body and thought I needed extra room but this dress was still bigger. Definitely could size this according to pre-pregnant sizing. But it's a great dress and received a lot of compliments. I did not wear a bra and the length was good. It was a fall wedding. I would rent this again

A wonderful Yellow Pop for a Wedding
I wore a size smaller than I typically do and based my renting choices on the reviewers who said the same. I wore brown sandal heels with the dress. It did reach my calves so it's longer than I thought it would be. The material is very breathable so it wasn't an issue for a June wedding (it was a hot weekend). I also wore a bra that you can criss-cross the straps (makes an X on your back) that was only occasionally view-able near the neckline. It was fitted up top (how I like it) and looser on the bottom (how I like it). The beaded belt didn't restraint from eating either! Would wear this again!

Red Hot!
I didn't wear and the XSR size fit overall better for me.. This dress was not appropriate for the venue (work function, more conservative) but I would have LOVED to worn it. I ordered the XSR and SR. You can see my sizes and the XSR was more skin tight (Spanxx anyone?!) but fit in all areas better, including length. My husband approved of the XSR if I were going to wear it (again for another event). I had 3 inch heels and probably could have worn 2.5 inches heels as well. The back goes down lower than expected, lower than a normal bra line. Since I didn't wear, I can't say what I would have done for a bra. Again, you can see almost everything in this so undergarments need to be highly considered for this rental.

Gorgeous and a shame I didn't get any photos!
I'm 5'2'' and bought 3 inch heels to wear with the 2P and the length was perfect. That was my biggest worry about being on the shorter size and ordering a long dress. The opening in the front does go, at least for me, all the way to wear a typical bra would be on your chest/top of stomach area. Very low cut and I used fashion tape to avoid any Opps! I didn't wear a bra either. I'm more rounder on my backside and the seam of the dress sits a little odd on my backside but not something I believe other people would have noticed.

For a work function
I didn't end up using this clutch. My phone is in case (a Lifeproof) and I didn't want to take it out of the case. Therefore, it didn't fit in the clutch. It's a great gold color and the details are very good as well. It is small, like other reviewers said.

The lace pattern and colors are to die for!
The fit in the arms is what the other reviewers said -- tight! It is doable but just be aware.

Dressed to impressed!
Wonderful purple color and extremely comfortable. As other reviews have said, it does run large. I got the size 0 and 2 as I'm normally a 2 and wore the 0. It is not tight in the mid section but that didn't bother me especially when sitting as there was room to sit without the dress riding up. When I say it isn't tight, it isn't super loose either, at least for my waist measurements. A very classy look and dress. Highly recommend for any special fall events. I went to my high school reunion in it and felt awesome!

Bachelorette Bash!
GREAT dress for a night out on the town. Lately I've been having to go down a size for RTR dresses but this one was spot on in my normal size (2). It fit exactly as describe. It does have layer issues with the lace layer getting caught on itself and exposing the bottom layer. Not a big deal but just beware. I knew this was a popular dress but it's sadly starting to show on the dress itself by getting fuzzy. Overall it worked out wonderfully for my big night out with my girls.

Second Choice for Bachelorette
I had the size 0 sent as my second choice but definitely needed the size 2 but not a problem as my first choice fit. It is very snug (which is intended) but absolutely stunning. I'm not a huge fan of all white dresses but will consider this one in the future. It's a HOT dress :)

The dress fit according to the description and reviews from other renters. I received a LOT of compliments and was really a great dress for the evening. It was comfortable as well as the material wasn't overly stiff or too thin.

Great Dress for a Spring Wedding
I wore this for a wedding. It covered me well while also being cute! The straps over the shoulders did stretch out as the evening went on but overall very comfortable and received compliments.

A lady thought I made the dress myself, which was quite a compliment.
This dress was a great hit at the Apple Blossom Festival in Virginia. The main colors of the festival are pink and green. I said the dress runs small only because of all the previous reviews, which helped me choose the correct size. Incredible comfortable. I'm not large chested and was able to wear my normal bra under the dress as well, which is great for me. I received a lot of compliments. Highly recommend this dress, especially for events that are in tents and call for preppy accessories!
