Size way down
Runs huge even for oversized. Very cute but don't take RTR rec on what will be a great fit.

Looks nice on the site
But kind of looks sloppy and untailored in real life.

nice dress
This was a very comfortable dress that allowed for tons of movement. Only rent if you have a small waist - this is the most fitted part of this dress and will be the only area that is really highlighted. If you don't love your waist, don't bother. The fit of the top was a little weird (maybe too big? just kind of odd...) but didn't really give me too many problems.

Loved the look of this dress
I loved the style of this dress and it looked great on - but there were a few draw backs. I was pregnant (but only about 4 mos) and there is HUGE variability in the sz 12 and sz 14W. I mean - really - like there should be a size in between. I ended up wearing a 12, because wearing this dress too big isn't an option; it needs to be snug to look good. The other consideration is that the fabric is very rough and the collar can be very constricting. Again - looks great, but if comfort is your thing, this may not fit the bill.

Nice daytime dress
I wore this for my baby shower at ~7 mos pregnant. I can't really comment on whether this is true to size, but it was nice to wear a normal sized (vs. maternity) dress. Very comfortable and flowy. Would be great for any daytime event.

Very flattering dress
I wore this for my baby shower at about 7 mos pregnant. It's a very forgiving silhouette and didn't feel "super pregnant" in this at all. There's not much overlap in the wrap, so I used 2 safety pins without issue. However - be prepared for a pretty big slit if you don't want to take steps to close up.

I liked it...
...but I didn't love it. I really just rented this to try out the trend. I wasn't unhappy with it, but I'm also not sure that it was what I was expecting. If you rent this, expect it to be kind of bold, just embrace it and go with it. Was also a little difficult to figure out how to put on, but could have been a user error as well. I actually thought it was comfortable, but probably pretty dependent on the size of your ear.

This dress is great!
Super comfortable, super flattering! Material is a little thicker, so it does a great job of skimming over your body without being clingy. I would definitely rent again.

great dress!
Loved this dress - very flattering and perfect for a more conservative event. I wore for a baptism and was a huge hit. I did find it a little difficult to get in and out of the car in, just because of the pencil skirt fit and complete non-stretch of the fabric. Small price to pay though - fit great and got tons of compliments on it. Others commented about extra fabric in the front of the skirt, but I thought it looked perfect and the pleating laid completely flat for me.

Nice, not amazing
This necklace was nice, but much more 3 dimensional than I expected. Based on the picture, I thought the necklace was more spike-like, when it was actually kind of like 3-dimensional triangles. The other weird thing was that one of the sections had an extra triangle, so it looked slightly weird. That was definitely a mistake. I liked the overall look, but wasn't totally in love as I have been with other accessories I have rented.

This was a great party dress!
This dress is great and super comfortable. It fits true to size, but is tight/slimming. Think Herve Leger. Definitely a dress if you want to highlight/like your overall shape.

Great dress for a birthday party
I rented this for a small birthday party that my friends threw for me. It was the perfect amount of sparkle, but the black sequins made it less over the top. As others have said - the sequins hurt & are quite scratchy. Based on other sequined dresses I have worn, this is par for the course. But be aware. And yes - the closure at the top is weird. difficult to keep closed - I recommend having someone help you use some fashion tape under the hook & eye closures. I did that and felt secure in it all night with no gaping, however, it was kind of annoying to need to do that.

Nice, Office Appropriate Dress
I rented this for a work holiday party just for fun. The party was right after work, so this was a nice choice to wear with a blazer during the day and without the jacket at the party. No complaints at all about the dress - very comfortable, flattering and perfect for a work event.

Cute earrings
I rented these to go with the Robert Rodriguez Cap Sleeve Swirl Mini dress. I really, really loved them on the site, really liked them when they arrived, but sort of forgot about them when they were on. Might have been because I wore my hair down or because the dress grabbed a lot of my attention (short! haha) If I rented these again, I would definitely wear my hair up to be sure they are more prominent.

Great Party Dress!
This dress was great for a formal/semi-formal 30th birthday party I recently planned. Dress is cute, flattering and I got lots of compliments. I'm sure you are see from the photos and other reviewers that yes - the dress is pretty short. But I am 5'9" and it was do able. I could stand in it. I could sit in it. But you have to watch the transitions from sitting to standing. Despite the shortness, I felt the dress was true to size and didn't have any stretch to it as others have noted. Overall - loved the dress, glad I picked it an got tons of compliments all night long.

Cute!
Great earrings to accent a black a gold dress. A good choice if you plan to let the dress really shine. I don't consider these earrings that command center stage, but that was my intention in choosing them, so it worked perfectly.

Great dress for semi formal party
I rented this for a pre New Year's Eve black tie optional affair. Fit great, true to size. The sheer lace has a great flattering effect & makes this dress very versatile.

So glam & flattering!
I wore this dress to a gala and had reservations about wearing head to toe sequins at first. However, I went ahead and pulled the trigger and it was a GREAT choice. It really was the perfect dress and I received compliments all night long. If you are considering this dress - go for it. It's flattering, eye catching and glam!

Perfect earrings for an extravagant gown
These were the perfect earrings for a show stopper gown. I wore a gown that was head to toe sequins and knew I needed to go with something a little more low key in the jewelry department. These were the perfect mix of glam, yet not over the top.

Amazing dress!!
I received so many compliments on this dress at the evening wedding I attended. It has just the right amount of sparkle & glam without being too over the top. I think this would be a perfect dress for any formal/evening event. I think this fits true to size & is on the shorter side for any tall girls. I'm 5'9" with a longer torso & any shorter just wouldn't have worked. Overall, I would rent again if I have another occasion that suits the dress-my mom even loved it!

Love!
These earring are amazing! They are definitely statement makers & would go great with a more simple dress, but I also wore with the Badgley Mishka Orion Sequin dress & it was perfect. They are heavier earring but didn't hurt or pull my ear lobes down. Once you get used to it & have them on for a few minutes, you don't even notice.
