beautiful green
this is a great statement necklace. I tried it on in the showroom and really loved it, especially bc I have green eyes. I wore it with the blue Vera Wang dress. At first I was nervous that it would clash but the mix of blue and green worked fabulously. I also was able to dress it down and wear it with a casual short green dress the night after. Overall, very versatile and a great choice

LOVE
I tried this dress on in the showroom and I knew it was the one. Actually, it was a dress I never even intended to try on but the assistant at the showroom was excellent and gave my the confidence to test it out. The second I put it on I was sold. I really think the showroom takes RTR to the next level. If you are in the NYC area I would highly suggest making an appointment before your next rental. I was also able to work with the assistant and pick out matching jewelry for the event. Thanks so much Showroom staff!! You did a fantastic job. It was my favorite RTR rental ever (and I've had alot) with endless compliments. The pattern of the dress is beautiful. I think it works best for someone with a narrow frame and small chest. Oddly, there are two zippers, one for the corset and one for the dress. However, the corset inside is alot smaller than the rest of the dress, so the back of the dress was fully zipped, but the corset underneath was left open at the top. I would suggest sizing up on the backup especially if you have a larger chest. This dress is utterly beautiful, cant say enough about it

fun, flirty, funky
Really cute dress but not a knock-out. Great for a casual night out. The material is very stretchy and soft on your skin. The skirt is very poofy so I felt a belt was necessary to cinch the waist. I think it could be great if worn with funky colored shoes and jewelry

could be better
I rented this dress last minute for New Years Eve. I had my heart set on a sparkly dress for the night and this was one of the only ones RTR had left the day before NYE The dress was fine but wasn't a knock out, especially compared to all the other RTR dresses I've rented. I didn't like how the sleeve was so flowy and the sequins were itchy. I put a bracelet over it to try to cinch the wrist. Overall, the dress was very forgiving and fit great. However, I think RTR has much better dresses to offer.

Funky yet sexy
I was nervous when I rented this dress bc only the XS was unavailable. However, when I put it on the dress forms and hugs you in all the right places. I wore this to a concert and party at Mohegan Sun. The dress has an eclectic pattern which makes it stand out. I cant wait to try the similar RVN dresses in red and navy I noticed that the website now has!!

Herve delivers again!
I guess I was the first to rent this dress because I received two Herve dresses with the tags still ON!! How can you complain about that? I rented an XS Herve dress was a few weeks ago and this XS was noticeably tighter. I think because it had never been worn before so it still had it's shape. I liked the design of the tan triangles which accentuated your waist giving you more of an hour-glass figure. However, I thought the white stomach area was a bit difficult to wear. Overall, Herve is the way to go for a sexy night out

POP with this awesome orange number
Unlike some of the other reviews, I thought the dress was a bit loose fitting and didn't cling. I thought the tapered cut on the bottom flowed gorgeously and was perfect with 4 inch platfoms. I loved how the dress carried as you walked. So Fun and easy to wear!

This necklace is really special. It has amazing colors and it's not too heavy. I think it's a great piece which adds a special flare to any type of outfit. It can be casual or dressy, doesn't matter. You'll be sure to get alot of compliments.

Not my style
I wanted an accessory to go with my one-shoulder Herve RTR dress. I decided on this necklace but when I got it I was disappointed. It is very difficult to wear a necklace with a one-shoulder dress and I just didn't choose the right one. It didn't sit correctly on my neck and it looked gottie. Instead, I paired the necklace with a black V-neck and wore it to lunch before the wedding!! The necklace is very pretty, just wasn't for me and didn't go with my outfit.

Perfect combo of classy yet sexy
I usually try to stay away from short, tight dresses for weddings but when I saw this I knew it was perfect for the late September wedding I was excited to attend. The colors are beautiful and extremely flattering because of the asymmetrical crossing. The dress was tight but I didn't feel like I was going to a club. I think it would also look great with black tights for a late fall/winter event. RTR is the way to go for all your special events

I'm so disappointed that I don't have a better picture. This photo doesn't even come close to capturing the beauty of the dress.
I have rented many dresses from RTR and this one takes the cake!!. I rented it for a 4th of July party and the colors were perfect. The dress flowed beautifully with the beach breeze and was so elegant. It's a total knock-out, no one else will even come close to you

I couldn't have been happier with my choice. The dress is perfect for a casual day party, but can also be worn to a fancy evening event. I couldn't have been happier with my choice
The colors are SO vibrant and beautiful. The silky fabric is light and flows amazingly. I sized-up based on previous recommendations and I was glad I did because the rib cage was cut very narrow. However, then the bust was a bit big on me (but I have a pretty flat chest). Length was perfect with 3 inch wedges. I wore a belt most of the day to help cinch the waist

Allowing customers to select a back-up dress is amazing! It ensures that you'll find the perfect dress for any occasion
I rented this dress to wear for a wedding but ending up wearing my back-up instead. The dress fit well but it was a bit long (I'm 5'4'') and the skirt was a bit too full. I also felt that it looked a little plain on me. However, it is a beautiful dress and I would recommend renting it if you're going for a classy sophisticated look.

I love how you can get a second dress for only $25. I used my main rental as my dress for a wedding and then this one was an added bonus for another great event
This dress is beautiful! I loved the lace detail and the nude sheath underneath prevented it from being see-through. The vibrant pink color made this dress perfect for a Mother's Day brunch. The dress was sophisticated yet casual and I couldn't have been happier with my selection. Warning: this dress is NOT meant to be fitted, so if your looking for a sexy dress, this one is not for you.

I loved the color of this dress. It was shorter then I expected so I sort of used the sash to cover my legs when I sat down. The top was tight enough that I didn't need to wear a bra. I wore this in the Bahamas for a sexy, yet classy look.

Overload
In the picture I thought these earrings were gorgeous. The colors fit perfectly with my Carlos Miele Cabo Sands Maxi dress. However, when I wore them I thought they were too big and tacky. The large stone in the middle was a bit too much for me. But, I did get quite a few compliments on them from other people so you be the judge.

The staff at RTR is extremely accommodating. I decided to extend my trip by one night so they let me keep the dresses for an extra day free of charge and I just dropped it off at their office!
This is my favorite RTR dress I have rented! The material is light and hugs your curves perfectly which makes it comfortable yet sexy. I wore it to a beach wedding in the Bahamas and got a ton of compliments. I rented the 2L, even though I'm only 5'4'' bc the regular wasn't available. I'm so glad I did because it was the perfect length with platform sandals. I highly recommend this dress to anyone.

As always, I was blown away by the amazing customer service at RTR. There was a problem with FedEx and my dress was delivered a day late so I was running around Massachusetts trying to locate it at the warehouse! I called RTR and informed them of the annoying situation... they were extremely apologetic and refunded my shipping costs plus more. Outstanding!!
I wore this dress to a friends wedding and got alot of compliments. As others have said, the dress is tight and runs small. There was not much size difference between the 2 and 4, but I went with the 4 because it was longer The material is slightly stretchy which makes it comfortable and easy to dance it. I only gave it 4 stars because I felt the pattern on the front was a bit unflattering.... but it was still an awesome dress

Overall, it was a great experience and I would def recommend this dress. I got tons of compliments from strangers and friends. You wont be disappointed!
My friend invited me on an impromptu trip to Atlantic City, but we were leaving the next day and I had nothing to wear!!.... Solution: Rent the Runway. The company had great customer service. I ordered the "same-day" delivery, and they were able to make sure I got it before 3pm (they usually guarantee that it's there before 6pm). The dress was very flattering and surprisingly very comfortable. The zipper on the 2 had been altered so it fit nicely but the bottom "tail" was sticking out. Also, part of the boning on the left side was showing. I didn't choose to wear the 4 because the zipper on the 4 puffed out awkwardly and it was really baggy. I was surprised there was such a discrepancy between sizes. You can even pair it with a black blazer for a more conservative look and it's still is eye-catching.

huge fan of RTR... such a great concept for people who hate re-wearing clothes
The beading on this dress is beautiful. It totally speaks for itself. In addition, I feel this dress is extremely versatile. Other reviewers have worn it to formal events and looked amazing, but I wore it over my bathing suit and out to lunch on vacation. So comfortable and chic! I ordered the XS and it was loose in the stomach but tighter in the butt. If you have bigger hips and thighs I would consider going a size up.

My only complaint was that my boyfriend said the dress was too scratchy when we were dancing at the "70's night" party-- please excuse his awful 70's themed mustache... As always, RTR dresses bring countless compliments!
Great dress, very classy and unique. I was surprised because when it came, the actual color of the dress is tan, but it photographs white because of the sparkles. I usually wear a 2, but decided to go for the 0 because the 2 was too baggy. The arms of the dress are very thin and tear easily so be careful, especially because some of the stitching was already coming undone.
