Perfect for Black Tie Optional
Absolutely loved this dress, received many comments all night. The pockets make it perfect so you don't have to carry a purse. Unlike other reviewers, I did have to wear a bra with this dress, but I'm just usually not comfortable without a bra on. If you think you'll wear a bra too, make sure it has a low back so it doesn't show. Overall, great rental!

Love the pockets and the beautiful material!
The fabric of this dress just makes it feel expensive and of high quality, but you will definitely need to iron it when you receive it. Loved the pockets, and it showed just the right amount of cleavage to be flirty but not over the top. Great length on me, can't say anything bad about it!

Perfect for a Kate Spade-themed Bridal Shower!
Absolutely loved this rental. As a bridesmaid for one of my girlfriend's, we threw her a Kate Spade-themed bridal shower and this was a perfect dress for it. The pockets were great to have, and the quality of the fabric felt so rich. As others have said, the capped sleeves are a little bit tight so it may not be a good choice for someone who has broader shoulders. Overall, I'm so happy with this rental!

Meh.
Unfortunately, this has been my least favorite rental. I got compliments on the dress because the color and lace are pretty, but I didn't feel very good in it. I feel as if the lace around the neck and sleeves just didn't fit right, it started out a bit baggy on me and by the end of the night the lace ended up getting much more stretched out. There are many other great RTR options, overall this isn't one of them.

My Favorite Rental EVER.
Hands down, my favorite rental. My husband wants to buy it for me! The length really varies from suit to suit (my backup size was too long and my first size was a little short) so it would be nice to have different heel heights available. The pockets were great and the fabric seemed very expensive, but you will definitely need to steam it when it arrives. I received compliments from literally everyone, and felt like a million bucks all night!

A little shorter than expected
This necklace was a little shorter than I expected and didn't quite match the neckline of the dress as much as I wanted it to, but overall it is very beautiful. Helped me add a little sparkle to my dress.

Stood out in a sea of black!
The color on this was beautiful, it really stood out amongst all the other black dresses at the gala. It did run a tad bit long, but I'm only 5'3" and wore 3" heels. I also thought it ran a bit small like other reviewers mentioned, I'm glad I ordered the next size up. Overall, a very nice dress! Paired it with a gold necklace that really complimented it well.

Great necklace!
This necklace added a little sparkle to an otherwise simple look. It was great!

Striking color, not forgiving fabric.
The color of this was beautiful, and it only required minimal ironing out of the box. The sleeves were a little long on me but the rest of the dress was a little snug. The fabric itself isn't very forgiving of curves so I'm glad I had my Spanx to wear underneath! Overall, a good enough rental to not need a backup dress, but I don't think I'll rent it again.

Isn't Kate Spade the best??
Worked so well as a splash of color with my all white outfit. Felt so classy but still fun and flirty, wish I could have kept it!

Fit like a glove!
This dress was absolutely perfect for my rehearsal dinner, it fit like a glove. The zipper was a little sticky, but the fabric was just gorgeous and felt so expensive. It can be a little lack-luster from the on-set because it's all white, but that's nothing a chunky Kate Spade necklace couldn't fix. And the pleats in the back made it so fun and flirty!

I felt so beautiful and elegant!
Worked so well for my wedding, a great addition because you can do other diamond jewelry or pearls depending on what look you are going for. They matched perfectly with the Ben Amun Peacock earrings, I wouldn't have changed a thing!

Perfect sparkle for my wedding!
I usually just wear stud earrings, but needed something special for my wedding day. I loved the sparkle this added, and I still felt comfortable because they weren't overly large. I got so many compliments, people couldn't believe I rented them! I would recommend these to anyone.

Great Bachelorette Option
A fun, flirty dress to wear. Length was good on me, but I'm not incredibly tall. I only gave the dress 4 stars because the top was a little tight; I have a full bust and I didn't like the way the dress cut in at the top, I thought it made my chest look much bigger. With a cute "bride-to-be" sash, nobody noticed though!

Such a flattering fit!
Wore this to my bridal shower, and got so many compliments. Just the right amount of cleavage to be classy but still flirty, and the pockets are great. It arrived a little wrinkly, but that's nothing that a quick ironing couldn't fix. Definitely my favorite rental!

My Wedding Year!
I'm getting married this year so there are a lot of events to go to (bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, etc) and I knew I was going to use RTR a lot. Getting free shipping and insurance on every order couldn't be better, it practically pays for itself! Totally a RTR fan.

Looked like a million bucks!
The fabric on this dress is so beautiful, makes the dress seem very expensive. It also hides all of the snags from being worn so much, so you don't need to worry about that. I'm in between an 8 and a 10 so the 10 was a little large, but the pockets were great and the color was fantastic.

Nice dress, shows a lot of skin!
Maybe it's just because I'm fairly busty, but this dress showed a little bit too much skin for me to be completely comfortable. The fabric is beautiful and I love the small belt that ties in the back. The length was great, but the shoulder straps were a little loose on me so I didn't feel extremely secure. I ended up wearing my back-up dress, but I think this would be perfect for a smaller chested, tall lady!
