Truly Elegant
LOVED this evening gown. I wore this dress to a black tie benefits event and heads were turning my way. :) This dress was very well made. The lace detail and the open back made this dress look sexy yet very elegant and sophisticated! I wore three inch heels and the dress perfectly grazed the floor. It has a slight mermaid figure and a small train in the back - just beautiful!

Elegant and Cute Purse
This purse was recommended by an awesome RTR stylist. While it completed my look (evening gown at a black tie event), it was a bit smaller than I expected and the clasp kept opening so things such as my lipstick would fall out of it. I couldn't put my phone in there so my date had to hold on to it for me. It's a really cute/fun/elegant purse but if you rent it, I would suggest putting very little in it.

Unforgettable Earrings - truly elegant
I wore this earring with a long evening gown to a black tie charity event. It completed the look I was aiming for, which was elegant and sophisticated. A man commented on my earrings and told me that he noticed them on me as soon as I walked into the room. :) Thanks for the reco RTR stylist!

Smoking Hot Dress
HL - it hugs you, it moves with you, it turns heads and you'll feel so hot in it! What more convincing do you need? This dress is stellar. The style is a bit more conservative than other HL dresses but have not fear, heads will still turn when you walk into the room with this dress on. The color is superb - very fem and glamorous. I would have wanted the dress to be a little shorter since I'm not too tall. I ended up folding two inches of the dress up so that the dress looks better for my shorter frame. It worked just fine (I didn't need sticky tape or anything to told up the fold).

Easy and Elegant
This was part of the mystery bling from RTR. It worked with both of the dresses (the primary and backup) I ordered. It was very easy to wear and it was also very elegant. Thanks again RTR!

hugs your body like a HL should!
Just what I would expect from a HL dress, this one was relatively new and it definitely hugged my entire body. I would have preferred the front top design to be a little different but it worked out anyway. I wore it to a party and just like any HL dress would do, it was a head turner. The length was just perfect too (not too short and not too long). Thanks RTR!

Tasteful and Delicate
I rented this dress for a graduation ceremony. I ordered both a size 0 and a size 2. While I fit both of them, I opted to wear the size 2 because the 0 was really butt hugging so I didn't think it would be appropriate for a graduation ceremony. Although the sides look like they have cut-outs, they are fake - it's beige fabric with black lace detailing over it. Very delicately done. I really like the soft and feminine style of this dress.

Another great dress by Robert Rodriguez
Robert Rodriguez is my go-to designer whenever I'm looking for a tasteful cocktail party dress. The external detail of this dress is beautifully done - a staple of Robert's designs. From afar, this dress may look a bit plain but once you get up close and personal, the lace overlay on a silky navy fabric stands out. It's also very comfortable to wear. I danced all night in it without a hitch.

Mesmerizing Dress - Made my grad party!
I LOVE this dress! It is absolutely elegant and so tastefully designed. The interwoven deep purple and black colors are a stellar combination. I thought the 2R may be a size too big since I'm typically a 0 but this dress fit me perfectly. I wore 3" heels to make the dress a perfect length (it did not drag on the ground) - though the back of the dress dragged a little bit but it's part of the design. The dress was also super fun to play with since the "tails" in the back can be picked up and played with given the multi-layer design. This dress is a head-turner (not in a "she's so hot way" but rather in a "she's so elegant way").

Too BIG
I rented this dress because the color was bright and eye-catching. However, sadly there was no way I could have worn this dress because it was too big (even a size 0R). From now on, I avoid dresses from this designer unless there is a 00R available that I could possibly try and hopefully fit. Otherwise, I'd pass because the size is just too big for me.

A perfect party dress
I fell in love with this designer after renting this dress. The cut is fantastic for ladies my size. Beware, this dress is SHORT but the length accentuates legs (even for someone who is 5'4"). :) The fabric is heavy but the external detail is really intricate. In fact, a fashion forward friend immediately picked up on the detail of this dress and had to ask me, "where did you get this dress? it's amazing!" I love everything about this dress. It was also super comfy to wear all night too. Though it did get a bit toasty at the club due to the heavy material.

terrible fit :(
the top was tight and the bottom (from the waist down) was VERY large. i was able to grab at least four-five inches of the hip area by pulling the dress with my hands to the side. it was a terrible fit.
