Super cute and forgiving for lots of body issues
This dress has a lovely drape and I managed to wear it with a strapless bra and boy shorts. I could have gone down a size if I had a smaller bust (A or B vs. a C) for a less boxy fit. It's not a bad boxy as it does swing and define you in the right places. The beading is beautiful and not too blingy for daytime, so you can wear it with cute sandals or heels like the model.

Beautiful dress, runs small on top
Rented a 12 and the bottom fit great. It's just not a dress for an athletic body type, so the top was too small to zip and breathe.

Really cute boho style for people who aren't
I tried this in Unlimited just to go outside my usual style. I have to say that I totally loved it and the fit was spot on. It does run a little big, but the loose fit is what it should be, so you have no upper arm or chest worries with this top. The colors in the shirt go with a lot and I dressed it up for work and down with jeans later. Will come back for this one.

Great dress...bad slip
I ordered this for a high school reunion and due to some delivery issues, did not receive it in time to wear to the event. I did try it on when it finally came, but still would not have worn it due to a few things: First, it comes with a slip that after several trips through the cleaner, HAD to be shrunken. It also had the feel of burlap. You do need it as the dress is see through lace without it and I wasn't looking to channel Miley Cyrus. After putting on my own ivory slip, the dress fit well enough and had a bit of stretch so that it could have worked. The slip it comes with is attached, so unless you are looking to add a cape to your look, this also wasn't workable. Second, I am not entirely sure this dress had been cleaned after the previous renter. So more of a situation fault then a dress fault. But it does run on the small size and it is a little short. I am 5'9" and it came to where it falls on the model.

Great dress for work to dinner events!
I would have given this dress five stars had it not been as worn as it was when I received it and if I would have worn the correct size. The XL was too big and I am a solid 12 in most designers, so order your usual size in this unless you have an pear-shaped figure. I think the bottom of the dress is cut for athletic and straight frames, so might be a bit unforgiving on others. The knit does have a fair amount of shimmer, so it's definitely dressier than what you see in the picture. The lace is a nice touch and the mint panel adds a pop of color to make this dress less monochromatic. I'll definitely request it again in the right size!

Looks great on the hanger, and on a very small group of people, not me.
This shirt looks really cute on the hanger, but really only would look right on an athletically build person with a shorter torso and less than a C cup. The material is nice enough, but there are snaps everywhere to keep this thing together and without fashion tape, it still might require a cami underneath. High waist pants or a skirt are a must as the side where it gathers is at a strange place. I wore it with a black knit Vince skirt that I could adjust to work, but I didn't love it enough to even photograph it for my review. Does look nice from the back. I am sad to part with some things from RTR, but this is not one of them.

Stylist Review
These earrings are simply amazing. They have a little weight to them so that they feel like the real thing without being uncomfortable. I hated returning them. I will rent them again or final break down and buy them.

Cute for everyday and a night out
This is a great piece that can stand on it's own as a nice accent to an outfit. I typically wear a 7" bracelet and this still fit well, but I think it would do the same on a smaller wrist. The stone isn't real, but doesn't take away from the look. Lightweight too.

Beautifully made bag in a stunning color
The leather and the lining used for this bag are exceptional, but it does make it on the heavy side. The color is not as electric as what's shown in the photo, so it's bright without being obnoxious. I received the bag brand new and have enjoyed it so much that I can't bring myself to send it back just yet. If there is another available, get it! A great way to add color to any outfit.

The gold detail on this dress is really beautiful
I rented this as a back up dress for a wedding in. May in Chicago. Had it been a bit warmer, I would have preferred this one even though the one I wore was amazing too. I would say it's better for more formal events, but get it if you like some shine. Will definitely rent again.

Perfect for almost any evening event!
This dress is amazing. It has stretch in the arms and basically all over, so I didn't need any Spanx to pull it off. It is a little on the warm side, so I don't recommend this for anytime it will be above 70 or so. Will definitely rent again!

Wore this to the KY Derby! Lots of people took my photo and loved the dress.
Great fit and the boning on the chest allowed me to wear the dress without a bra. If you do need one, you may need some fashion tape to keep the back and the strap aligned.
