Fun to layer - summer or fall
Really nice to wear on its own as a summer dress or as a layering piece for fall. The top is a bit see through so wear a nude bra. The material is really nice and the colors are vibrant. Probably best for women who are smaller on top as the front is a deeper cut, but it really looks nice and isn't too revealing.

Cruella DeVil
Absolutely perfect for Cruella DeVil Halloween costume. The coat itself is really luxurious. The collar is more of a deep burgundy than it appears in photos. Really soft and well made, also warm.

MOVE IN COLOR
This dress is stunning. It's a loose fit but don't let that deter you - the way it blows in the wind or as you walk is a true head turner. Would highly recommend and rent again.

Eagle's 2018 Super Bowl Parade! PERFECT COLOR!
This coat is FABULOUS. I wore for the Eagle's 2018 Super Bowl parade and it is an absolutely gorgeous shade of green. I would totally rent again for a more formal event.

Beautiful florals
Beautiful floral print. I rented the L and that was a mistake - its loose as a style and I should have rented a M or S. Fabric is light.

BEAUTIFUL
I seriously wanted to keep these. FYI - they are CLIP ONs. Very sturdy and I did not have any worries about them falling off, but clip-ons all the same. Their large size is right if you want to wear your hair up to focus on a statement earring. Would definitely rend again (or buy outright!)

Stunning Dress!
Very beautiful dress, perfect for a holiday event. As always with every RTR - tons of compliments!! Color is beautiful midnight blue in person, and a bit shimmery. Very fitted around the waist, so I would size up or down depending on your middle. Bust was a little loose on me. The zipper is a bit tough to zip up due to the beautiful jeweled belt, but isn't a detractor. The skirt is very full, is an appropriate length (not too short - I am 5'7) and has a fun effect on the dress. I would recommend silver jewelry. WOULD DEFINITELY RENT AGAIN!

Super Unique Dress
This dress was such a standout! Super unique and surprisingly slimming given the busy pattern. The slit is much higher than it appears in the photo but it's totally worth it if you want to make a statement!

lovely royal blue color!
This is a phenomenal dress - every dress I get from RTR I think is the best, but this one was definitely my favorite! I considered purchasing it (on sale at BCBG now!) since it is so much fun to wear. The bottom is very light so even though you're wearing a gown, it is easy to move around in. Similar to other reviews, the waist band is very snug - the 6R fit better on top, but I went with the 8R (lots of Christmas goodies to nibble on at the party!) I would recommend that unless you are very tall (I'm 5'6') the regular is better than the long - due to the pleats there is a LOT of fabric at the bottom of the dress, and I think a long would add even more to contend with.

What a goddess dress!
This dress is PERFECT for a summer or spring wedding. I wore it to my sorority sister's black tie wedding in June and got a million compliments (even from strangers!) The dress is more of an a-line than traditional column dresses, so it looks great flowing on the dance floor or when you're walking. The shoulders are definitely safe to wear in church and are more of a metallic lace material than the picture would suggest, but still look really lovely - definitely wear your hair up! I wore the 6L and felt like I could actually breathe all night, which is ideal for weddings. I am 5'6" and wore 3' nude wedges and the dress was an inch long - definitely wearing taller shoes next time. This might be the first rental I get twice!

Beautiful Colors!
I got this dress for a family wedding and it fit the bill - the colors are lovely and it's a flirty length but it has capped sleeves you can wear in church and in front of your grandmom. The colors have more gold than the picture suggests so I would wear with gold jewelry for sure. I would highly recommend for a winter/early spring wedding!

Did Not Wear
I did not end up wearing this dress - the bottom was far too small and the top was way too big (I ordered a 6 and an 8). If you have a more even frame (I am a pear) or have a bigger chest this may be for you. The color is beautiful in person.

PRO is so worth it
I've had Pro for about 2 months now and let me tell you - it is so worth it. I have already received my free $50 birthday dress credit, received great samples / coupons with my dresses and already have made my money back. Pro will save you a lot of money!

Glittery, Huge and Awesome
Loved these earrings, they are HUGE and AWESOME. Great for making a statement. Unlike the photos they only have the sparkly parts on the front but this does not detract from the earrings if you wear your hair down. I would absolutely rent again.

Great Party Dress!
I rented this dress for my 27th birthday party at the Gansevoort Hotel and it was PERFECT! If you have a very small chest like me it's hard to find stuff that is flattering/sexy - this dress did both!! I will say the deep v is not for the faint of heart but it looked great. I didn't have to use fashion tape but it would probably work well for other girls. Great understated color (you'll stand out against everyone in black!) in a perfectly cut dress.

Perfect for NYE!
This dress is amazing! Definitely my favorite rental by far. If you are like me and have a small chest and wider hips, this dress will absolutely flatter your waist. The dress is made out of a stretchy material, and I considered going down to the 4 that was delivered but ended up going with the 6 so I could dance on New Year's Eve. The dress does have a front zipper at the bust that does not show in the photo that makes it zip up to be more modest or zip down for more skin. Like other commenters, I agree the blue is more of a deep, royal blue. If I believed in repeats I would rent again. Great dress!

Ghostly Beautiful!
I absolutely loved this white dress! I wore it as part of a ghost costume for Halloween, and got lots of compliments. It's a beautiful white color and the underskirt is sequined in a rose gold color. I'm fairly tall (5'7) and the regular does run long, so if you are on the shorter side I would be aware of how long the dress is with heels vs without. It was the perfect length on me with midsize heels. My only criticism of the dress was the 8R I received had perfect, flat/straight stays in the bodice, but the 6R I ended up wearing had stays that were bent. It didn't affect the way the dress looked, but from a comfort factor I could definitely tell they weren't straight. Otherwise a perfect costume for a Halloween party!
