Shorty, short shorts!!
I rented this for my birthday and decided to go with something a little out of my comfort zone. Overall, I really liked this romper. Super cute with nice lace details. I definitely had to wiggle into this outfit and very carefully pull it up over my butt and hips, but once it was on it was comfortable. I originally wasn't planning on wearing tights until I realized that if I crossed my legs, you could see my undies and but cheek; the addition of black tights totally made this outfit doable for me. Really cute and fun, but you'll definitely need a friend to help out when you need to go to the bathroom to unbutton and unzip (and then re button and re zip).

Loved it!
Used it as a clutch although there was a removable strap included. Great size and added perfect pop of color.

Sassy Conservative on the Top & Sexy Party on the Bottom
I wasn't so sure about this dress when I first put it on. I felt like I belonged in the church choir from the waist up but loved how the dress hugged my butt and showcased my legs. I was worried about the New Orleans heat and humidity being too much to handle with the sleeves, but the material was just fine for a warm evening. The dress was comfortable to wear, although quite short. The compliments I received once arriving to the party/networking event put me at ease. The dress was a hit. Not sure if I'd rent it a second time... Feel like it was more of a one hit wonder for me, but I sure had a good time wearing it!

Cute but nothing to write home about.
I attended a wedding near Las Vegas. For some reason it didn't seem like my original order from RTR was going to show up, so I went into their store on the strip. RTR was extremely helpful by helping me find another dress and didn't charge me for it. In the end, my original dress showed up so I wore it instead. This dress was cute, but I wasn't stoked about it. It was a little "fluffy" from the waste down which I felt added a little extra around my midsection... It would have worked, but I didn't feel that typical pizazz that I get from an RTR dress.

Sexy and slimming. Loved it!
I wore this dress at a wedding located at a ghost town in Nevada. It's definitely a more form fitting dress than I would typically wear, but I couldn't resist. For me, Spanx were a necessity, but they did the trick beautifully. The black on the sides really had a slimming effect. I felt super sexy; my husband wants me to buy this dress. Word of warning, there were some small holes in the seams where it had been squeezed into by previous renters... I didn't mind so much, but the dress definitely did not look brand new.

Funky feel while still feeling classy.
I loved this ring. It felt great on my finger and gave my outfit just that extra "umph" that I wanted.

Tasteful yet unique for a Bridesmaids Luncheon
I wanted to wear the smaller size in this dress but couldn't due to the entire zipper being completely broken. I'm not sure how this dress even made it to the shipping phase from RTR. Unfortunately RTR was unable to get me a replacement dress by the time I needed it for a Bridesmaids Luncheon on Saturday morning, so I wore the larger dress. Overall, this dress is awesome. Beautiful colors with the flowers arranged just so to be extra flattering. It definitely fits large, so don't hesitate to size down. If I could afford it, I would love to have this dress (in the right size) hanging in my closet, but with RTR there were definite signs of overuse. The black was a bit faded and even in the larger dress, there was a pull in the fabric near the zipper. Still, I received tons of compliments.

Easy to wear. Enjoyed the way the peaked out from my hair that I wore down. Excellent choice for the rehearsal dinner with drinks out afterwards.

Excellent tasteful accessory with a bit of attitude
I wanted a big statement necklace that was still on the conservative side for a 6 o'clock wedding. I was wearing a strapless dress and this necklace added just what I was looking for. Loved it.

Comfortable in a fun color for a rehearsal dinner.
Great bright blue, thick material that conceals all panty lines, etc. I really like the built in snaps in the shoulders that hold your bra straps in place. The 6 fit great and gave me a better shape than my typical size 8 although it was definitely on the shorter side for a cocktail dress. The material is a bit stiff and with the flare and felt a bit futuristic... Think Judy Jetson. Not exactly my favorite look, but overall I liked the dress and received some nice compliments.

Comfortable and stretchy enough for dancing.
True to size, comfortable and wedding appropriate. Overall I liked the dress and was comfortable all night, especially as I paired it with my flip flops rather than the heels I intended to wear. Outside beach wedding in the Keys... But I looked stellar from the ankles up in this dress. I'm only giving it four stars due to the lace around the neck not staying up, the pleats in the back being torn a bit (from a previous renter that may have been too large for the size 8), and that it bunched a bit in the back around the zipper. Overall, great dress though!

Bride complimented the earrings! So fun to wear!!
Great earrings to wear for a fun night out or special occasion. They would be perfect for an evening where you're not planning on much movement. They are a bit heavy and I had to take them off when the dancing at the wedding was in full swing. Still loved them though. Would rent them again.

No Spanx necessary! Such a flattering dress!!
I wore this for an outdoor rehearsal dinner in the Florida Keys in October. I loved the light, flowy material and the colors fit in perfectly for a fall event. The cut of the dress is super flattering. Loved it!! Overall, the dress fit large. Unfortunately I sized up for my backup (which I didn't even try on) so I can't say what sizing down would necessarily be like. The 8 was big, but still looked good. The main issue was the size of the armholes and how much of my black bra showed. I definitely had to use a bra that crossed in the back, otherwise my straps would've shown all night. Even so, I absolutely loved the way I felt in this dress. I absolutely would wear this again... But would definitely try one size down. So slimming and flattering!

Why wouldn't you do this?
Best deal ever. I had two weddings with lots of functions for each wedding within a one-month period. Luckily one of them fell during my birthday month which means I received a free dress and earrings for the wedding. What more could I ask for? Free shipping, free insurance and a great dress for a fun event. I am a fan!

Unique piece of jewelry.
I liked having this unique piece of jewelry to add to my classy outfit. The gold cuff with interesting details was fun to wear. It was a bit of an strange fit as part of it is hinged in order to make it fit on your wrist. Not sure that I liked that function. Overall fun piece of jewelry and I would wear it again.

Classy and comfortable. What more could I ask for?
Both the size 8 and size 10 fit. There were things that I liked better about each size. I decided to wear the size 10 because I liked the length as it was a bit longer and came to the middle of my knee. I liked the size 8 as it fit at the top better because it was a snugger fit. Either would have worked. I felt very classy and comfortable throughout the wedding. Received lots of compliments. Highly recommend.

Standout dress for a Bridesmaid's brunch.
This is not my typical style of dress, but I wanted to be brave and show off my curves. Unfortunately RTR didn't have the back up size of a 10 available. The 8 fit, the material is stretchy as stated in other reviews. I think I would have preferred the 10 though as the eight rode up a bit and bunched in the back some. Overall it's a beautiful dress, and I received some nice complements.

Great first RTR experience! Simple dress that fit in well at a rehearsal dinner.
Went to a rehearsal dinner where dress code was "dressy casual." Wasn't sure what that meant exactly, so I went with this conservative cut dress and paired it with a pair of platform shoes rather than heels. It is a really pretty color and great for a dinner event as it has room in the stomach area. Dress was a true size 8. I didn't have a back up size, so can't compare. Classy dress for a classy occasion. Great first RTR experience.
