Felt like Kate Middleton

I rented this very Kate Middleton-esque dress for my rehearsal dinner. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I would (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). The ruching seemed a little big to me... normally ruching gives me the illusion of curves (which I don't have), but this ruching just seemed kind of bunchy and not fantastic. I also wasn't a huge fan of the shoulders of the dress. Overall, it's a good dress, but I probably wouldn't rent it again.

Love the ruching!

I rented this dress for a wedding where I did a reading during the ceremony, and I felt like it was perfect...it showed off my curves (or since I'm a stick who has no curves, showed off the curves that the ruching created) :), but was still classy and appropriate for getting up in front of everyone at a church wedding. Highly recommend!

Beware the belt!

I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner. I actually liked it a lot, but only gave it 3 stars because of the belt. That thing was TEENY TINY. I wore the size zero dress, but the size zero belt would not even go all the way around my waist, so I ended up wearing the size two belt... which was also SOOOO small. I had to wear Spanx AND seriously suck it in to get it on. I made it through the night without collapsing due to lack of oxygen, but I was NOT comfortable. Unless you have a VERY small waist, I would recommend sizing up a size or two to get a properly fitting belt (or use another black belt - I wouldn't wear this dress without a belt unless you want to look like you're wearing a fancy potato sack).

All the compliments I got from the ladies at my bridal shower!

I rented this dress for one of my bridal showers, and I absolutely loved it (and wished I could keep it). The 0 did not fit me at all, and the 2 was a tiny bit snug, but not uncomfortably so... I was still able to eat lots of delicious shower food with no complaints! :) The back of the dress bunched a bit (right around my lower back), but it was still absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommend!

RTR's customer service is amazing... I had to rent this dress twice because my event was rescheduled, and they were more than happy to work with me. I recommend RTR to everyone!!

This is a beautiful dress! I rented it for my engagement pictures (actually ended up renting it twice because the pics were cancelled the first time around due to rain). The 0 was a bit harder to zip up than the 2, but I ended up wearing it because it fit better up top (I have a tiny bust). It was short, but not inappropriately so. Like previous reviewers have said, the collar was a bit funky when it arrived, but I used fashion tape to make it behave :) I was a bit wary of the color (I am very pale and tend to not look good in tan), but the black broke up the tan enough, I thought. The dress would probably look better on girls with a bit more color though.

All the compliments I got... this dress turned heads!

I LOVE this dress! I rented it for my birthday - dinner and the symphony with my fiance - and judging by the "WOW!" when I came out, he liked it ;) The 0 arrived with a pretty significant tear along one of the seams, but luckily the 2 also fit me. I'm a huge fan of the ruching, especially along the rear end area.. I feel like it gave me curves where there normally are none, haha. It just fit very well and was super flattering. However, I didn't really feel like I was wearing a $600 dress... like previous reviewers stated, the fabric is VERY thin along the bottom, almost chintzy looking, but as long as you're wearing a slip and/or tights underneath it's not that big of a deal. All in all, I would definitely rent this dress again!
