Cute dress as long as you get the belt
I rented this dress to wear for work. Before it shipped RTR Customer Service reached out to let me know that the belt wasn't returned by a previous renter. They offered me another option but I went with this figuring that I'd replace it with a belt of my own. The only problem was that when the dress arrived I discovered that it has slits for the belt to go into (kind of like a wrap dress). Becuase my belt wasn't the same size, I couldn't wear the dress as the slits/holes exposed my torso. Would definitely rent again if the belt came with it though as the dress is very cute.

Instant outfit upgrade
Loved this dress. Flight got in late and I had to change in the airport bathroom and head straight to a summer party. This dress instantly made me look party ready with little to no effort. Very comfortable too. Only complaint was that it was a little long (I'm 5'7" and it was still almost touching the ground with chunky heels). The chest area also stretched out over the evening making me wish I'd sized down (I couldn't wear a bra with this).

Cute top - a little shorter than anticipated
This is a really cute and unique top. I wore it to work with a blazer and high-waisted pants. I have a long torso and found it to be a little shorter than anticipated; however, I think it would've been too big if I'd sized up. Overall, a good rental.

Fun work dress
I rented this dress for a day at the office. The fabric and color are gorgeous and the dress is slightly different in a fun way. The dress is low cut so you might need to add a cami or some coverage if you're large chested but I didn't have an issue. The dress is also form-fitting but work appropriate. Could also dress this up for a night out.

Cute and different
Cute top with a little bit of flare. Once I figured out how to tie it (look at RTR photos if you're not sure), I really loved it. As other reviewers have mentioned, it's very lightweight and easy to dress up or down. Would definitely rent again.

Pretty and trendy
I rented this dress for a baptism and brunch in Georgia in late June. Despite the fact that it was over 90 degrees and humid, I stayed cool and also church-appropriate in this dress. I typically shy away from anything with pleats as I feel it adds bulk, but that was not the case with this dress. I would definitely rent it again.

Unique dress, very comfortable
I rented this dress for a daytime, outdoor party. It was really comfortable, easy to wear, and very flattering. I normally wear a size 8, but ordered the 10 after reading other reviews. It fit well but was a bit looser than I like. I would probably go with the 8 next time as the fabric has some stretch to it.

Too boxy for me
I loved this dress on the hanger but once I put it on I realized it wasn't for me. Too boxy up top and oddly tighter in the hips. I didn't end up wearing it.

Fun top for a night out!
This top was perfect for a night out - really fun and different. I also really liked the color and pattern. After reading reviews about how it was a bit short, I went up a size (I usually wear a medium and ordered the large). The large was a bit big up top, but nothing that a bit of fashion tape couldn't fix. Other reviewers were right though - it's definitely a bit short.

Runs large - Looked like a tent
I love maxi dresses and usually find them to be very flattering. This maxi, however, was too drapey and big. It made me look like a circus tent. I tried adding a belt to cinch in the waist a bit but, due to the built in gathering, it just looked odd. If it fit a bit smaller though, this dress would be great - nice pattern, confy material, and perfect length.

Beautiful and comfortable bridesmaid dress!
I rented this as a bridesmaid dress for my sister's spring wedding and it was absolutely stunning! Between four girls, I think we rented nearly all sizes and everyone seemed to agree that it ran a bit large. Nonetheless, it was beautiful on everyone! I was also amazed at how comfortable the dress was. Despite the low back, I was able to wear a bra with a low back converter and simply tucked a bit of the fabric in the back over the piece of bra that peeked out. Although you could wear Spanx, none of us did as you were able to see lines through the dress. I would definitely recommend this dress!

Great color but darts makes for an odd fit
I rented this dress for my sister's rehearsal dinner. The color was beautiful however, I darts sewn into the dress made for a bit of an odd fit. The sleeves were puffy and the back hem is longer than the front (this is intentional, but it's somewhat slight so it appears a bit out of place). Also, the way the darts were sewn into the front of the dress made for a weird silhouette (I looked like I had a fem-bot chest). I went to the RTR store in Chicago to look for an alternate dress but ultimately decided that this would have to do. Definitely not terrible but I wouldn't rent it again.

Great color - perfect for a fall wedding!
I rented this dress for a fall rehearsal dinner and absolutely loved it. The fabric was thick and the chest area, despite being low cut, stayed perfectly in place. Although the dress is low cut, it was almost knee length which made it appropriate for a wedding. Highly recommended!

Beautiful classy dress - got lots of compliments!
I rented this dress for a wedding that I was in. Although it is not my usual style (I am more of a fitted dress type of girl), the bride selected it and I was happy with her decision. One guest loved the dress so much she rented it for a wedding she was attending a few weeks later! The top of the dress is beautifully sequined and the low back add a bit of a twist to a more traditional look. The dress definitely poufs out at the hips although the extra space around your legs helps to balance out the look. I rented both the 6 and the 8. Although I preferred the way that the 6 looked in the hips, I decided to wear the 8 as it fit better in the waist and I knew there would be a lot of dancing. I was able to wear a bra with the dress (low back).

Amazing and flattering dress!
I loved this dress! I rented it for an event in Las Vegas and got so many compliments. The dress is sexy with a bit of a tough girl edge thanks to the cutouts and mesh. The non-mesh material is thick and hides any bumps while the mesh is high quality (more of a fishnet than a true mesh). I loved the combination of black and navy! I rented both the 8 and the 10 but ended up wearing the 10 as I didn't like the way the 8 laid when I sat down. That being said, there wasn't a huge difference in the sizes. I would definitely rent this dress again!!

Unique and sexy dress
I rented this dress for a trip to Vegas and it didn't disappoint! The fabric was thick and helped to hold everything in and the print is unique. It's both short and low cut but didn't ride up or bunch in any way. I also liked the partial sleeves to cover my upper arms and help make the dress winter appropriate. I rented both the medium and the large but ended up in the large as it's very tight and I was a bit self-conscious about wearing the smaller size. Once I had the right size on though, I felt great.

Classy but sexy dress...perfect for chilly weather!
I rented this dress for my husband's work event in Las Vegas. It's unique and easy to wear. The thick neoprene-like material is warm even with the cutouts. Although it's definitely sexy, it's not overtly so which was nice for when we were with colleagues but it was also easily dressed up once we hit the bar later. I typically wear a medium but wore the large (back up size) as the medium was really hard to get into (zipper does not go the whole dress and I was worried about my hair). When I tried both sizes on though, they were nearly identical (the only difference was that cutouts on the large displayed more chest). I would definitely rent this dress again!

Beautiful, sexy dress - perfect for night in Vegas!
I rented this dress for a night out in Vegas. I got tons of compliments and my husband said it was one of the sexiest dresses I'd ever worn. It was very flattering and comfortable to wear as well. Wish I owned it! Other reviewers were right in that it is very low cut and somewhat large on top. I used A LOT of fashion tape and wore a very low-cut bra. If you wanted to make it more modest, you could always wear a tank underneath; oh ever, fashion tape may still be necessary to keep the top where you want it. One thing to note is that this dress is VERY short. (I'm 5'7").

Unique, fun dress - perfect for a cocktail party
Wore this dress for an engagement party. It looked great and I got tons of compliments. That being said, size up as this dress runs SMALL! Putting the dress on was a bit of a challenge once hair was done as it's tight and there's no zipper but once it's on, it looks great. Despite the firm fitting silhouette, the modest neckline and cap sleeves make it appropriate for a wedding or semi-formal/cocktail event.

Great dress, beautiful color, tons of compliments
I rented this dress for a wedding. When I first put it on, I was a little self conscious about the way the color blocking made my middle look, but I received tons of compliments throughout the night. Both sizes fit; however, the 8 was a bit big and the extra fabric on the ruching sagged a little which made it look baggy. I ended up wearing the 6 which fit perfectly. The ruching also does wonders for your backside. One thing to note, the slit in the front is a bit low so be sure to have either fashion tape or a low cut bra.
