An autumn stunner
I loved this dress! I wore it for a rooftop bar event and received so many compliments. The material is surprising soft, comfortable, and stretchy. If you have an hourglass figure this dress hits in just the right place to accentuate the waist and was very figure flattering. The bust lining is structured and thick so no bra necessary (yay!). Definitely recommend this one!

Sophisticated with a hint of sexy
I wore this dress to an outdoor party and it was perfect. The cutout gave a hint of spicy and the velvet material was very luscious. I got lots of compliments. You can easily wear a strapless bra with this without the cutout area being an issue.

Beautiful Blue
I wore this dress for a wedding that called for "formal shades of blue" as the dress code and it was perfect! My dress stood out as almost everyone else's dresses were navy blue. I love that the fabric has a stretchy quality to it, so it was easy to move around the dance floor. I needed more room in the hip area, but had to wear a fuller strapless bra for the bust area to work. Definitely recommend this dress for a beautiful sapphire blue moment!

All the glitz and glam you need!
I wore this for a Valentine's Day jazz brunch. I thought the long sleeves would be perfect for the slight "chill" of February in Florida. However, this turned out to be the first flash of warmer weather in the year, it ended up being in the 80s and I was SWEATING. Nevertheless, I felt super glamorous and the sequins were shining brightly. It was a super fun dress to wear.

This was the perfect breezy dress to kick off my bachelorette weekend at the beach!
The design and areas of cinching with the material are very flattering. The fabric is super lightweight but not see-through. I wore this dress for a beachside lunch and then it doubled as a cover up when I went to the poolside. I got several compliments from resort staff and guests on this dress. Highly recommend for a beach vacay!

Sparkly vibes
I wore this for my engagement photo shoot and I absolutely loved it. I wanted to dress up my outfit without wearing a long gown and this was perfect. Our photographer complimented me on it and she wanted to me to keep it on for all the photos! Lots of friends asked me where I got the sequined sweater in my photos and I happily told them RTR :)

This is a perfect summer romper. It's airy with plenty of room in the leg area. (I have thick thighs and I don't like to chafe!) I love the open back detail of this romper. Would rent this again in a second!

I wore this dress for a wedding cocktail reception. Though it's not super stretchy it gives enough for you to be able to move in the dance floor. The color is a radiant emerald green. Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful Bimini Blue
This dress was perfect for a beach formal wedding. The open back cutouts and lightweight breezy material of the skirt made it airy and comfortable for an outdoor ceremony. The bust area was perfect for my cup size without any "spillage" from the side cutouts or "underboob" showing. I received compliments from wedding guests and hotel staff alike! I highly recommend this dress for any fun formal occasion.

A classy, sexy birthday dress
This dress is a head-turner. The length makes it sophisticated and the criss-cross knots at the chest area are strategically placed so that the dress is subtly sexy- not skanky. I love love love this dress.

A bright blue beacon amongst a sea of black
I loved the bright royal blue color of this dress. The criss-cross detail of the back is to die for. I felt secure in the bust area with just sticky bra pads. Definitely a comfortable, elegant choice for a wedding!

Loved the cutouts. But it was too big up top, too small at the bottom.
I go between at size 6 and a size 8 depending on the hips and bottom area of a dress. The size 8 in this dress fit snug but well down below, however it left a lot of room up top- even with my best padded strapless bra. If I was standing still with arms down at my side the dress fit just fine, but as soon as I went to move my arms in any way, there were unsavory gaping areas in the torso and bust cutouts. I love the idea of this dress, but the proportions weren't executed quite well enough.

Classy with ease in red
This dress is a beautiful vibrant red color in person and really stands out in a crowd. I loved the off-shoulder ruffle sleeves- they added some fun and flirtation without being a hindrance when you want to lift your arms. This dress is very comfortable for sitting, standing, and dancing at a wedding. I would definitely rent this one again!

Beautiful lines and fit
I wore this dress to a wedding and wanted to match my boyfriend's groomsman attire. The dress color looks like a bright navy online, however in real life it is a very, very dark navy that can appear black in the evening. The dress was not itchy or uncomfortable at all, but the mesh and lace embroidery irritated my skin at the upper neck area and made it very red. It was comfortable to sit or stand in, but depending on how much you want to get down on the dance floor this dress can be a little hindering. Overall would rent again.

Perfect party earrings for partying in South Beach!
Loved the unique design of these earrings. The earrings were surprisingly lightweight considering their size and I didn't feel them pulling or dragging my earlobes down the entire night. The tassel color is not quite as chartreuse as pictured on the website- more of a very bright yellow- nevertheless I loved them!

Comfy daytime romper for the 4th of July
I wore this during the day on 4th of July for some bike riding around Miami Beach. It served as a nice swimsuit cover up and was comfortable while bike riding along the beach. The material is pretty thick and not the most breathable, but it has a nice open back which helps with air circulation and it is a pretty detail.

Perfect for a night out in Miami!
I read a lot of reviews on this jumpsuit before selecting it because A) Jumpsuits are very hit or miss for me and my body type and B) All white can be a risk and tricky with undergarments. Well thanks to all the ladies who reviewed this jumpsuit before me because it was stellar! As previously mentioned, IT IS SO COMFORTABLE. Very thick material so you don't have to wear a bra and you're good with a nude colored thong. The material was stretchy so that I had no problem dancing into the wee hours at a Miami Beach nightclub. I got compliments galore with the pictures I posted in this outfit!

I wore this for a wedding that required the guests to wear all white. This dress was truly a standout from the crowd! The white sequins really catch the light beautifully, and the material is very stretchy so that you can dance and move easily. I got so many compliments on this dress!

I love that the material was stretchy so it made dancing easy and the slit was high enough to be sexy without being trashy. This color really POPS (especially under a black light as we found out at the wedding after party!) Highly recommend this bright, fun, yellow number!

Sparkly New Year's Eve disco queen
I loved the draping low back of this jumpsuit. I'm glad I read the reviews and ordered my regular size and the long because regular is too short when you put heels on. The long is just right is you've got on at least 3-4inch heels. Super comfortable- you can dance the night away in this outfit!

Great cutouts and neckline. Just wish it'd been in my correct US size!
This dress would've been 5 stars if I'd received it in my correct size of US 8 or 10. Instead I received a UK size 8 & 10 (equals US 4 & 6). I had no other dress and the dress code was very specific to formal all black, so I was forced to squeeze into the size 6. Other than being tight, it still managed to be figure flattering- especially at the waist. I loved the overall design and the stretchiness of the fabric made it easy to dance in. I'd rent it again- if i could get it in the correct size.

Perfect sparkle and shine for a New Year's Eve wedding! And soooo comfortable for dancing all night!
From the front this design is very figure flattering for a girl like me who has hips. Also the sequins weren't too heavy, and the weight of the sequins made the material thicker and more forgiving- not too tight. It was very comfortable to dance in all night.

A passerby of the wedding group said "Wow she looks like a prettier Kardashian."
I loved the cutout detail! The only issue was it was slightly tight in the hip/butt area and not forgiving once you start to eat....anything. Overall loved the design and bright color and I received a lot of compliments in person and later in pictures!

Beautiful design
The medium fit perfectly, but unfortunately there was a pink stain on the back ribbon so I had to go with the large size which fit ok in the leg area (I have thick thighs) but was slightly too large in the shoulder/back area. I love the quality and design of the fabric.

Shipment arrived on time, and the drop off in their new bag was very easy to do.
I ordered an 8R but ended up wearing the backup size of 6L because it fit better in the bust. The dress is super comfortable- it was easy to dance in all night at the wedding I was at. I received a lot of compliments on it. The reason I had to knock down the stars on the review was because of the quality issue I had. The velvet polkadots on the back of the dress were literally rubbing off when I took it out of the package. I was able to cover that part with my hair, but that should never be an issue.
