Fun color
Wore this to a family friend’s anniversary party and got so many compliments. It’s a bright yellow, great for spring or summer. The ribbon at the back of the neck dressed it up a little. There is a hook closure at the neck before tying the ribbon. Large was a great fit and at 5’1” it went just above my knees. Would definitely rent again.

Loved this so much! I think I could have sized down to a medium but large was comfy and oversized. It was great to throw on over sweats or leggings in the morning when walking the dogs.

Loved this one!
Looked great with jeans or black trousers. Simple and comfortable sweater that makes you look put together. Runs true to size.

Cute and warm
Runs large. Even with a sweater underneath, I was swimming in this! But it was cute and warm enough for a night out in the NYC winter. I'd rent again but will size down.

Awkward fit
The print is gorgeous. The body of the dress fit fine but the sleeves were an awkward length. They came too high up on my arms making it look like the dress was too small for me but it wasn’t. I didn’t find the sleeves too puffy, just a bit short. Such a bummer…this dress had potential!

Wanted to keep!
If I rented through my membership, I probably would have bought this. It was super comfortable, has pockets, and adjustable straps. I’m between size 10-12 in dresses and the large fit perfectly. I am 5’1” and wore 2” heels with this - the hem of the dress was barely on the ground so length was good too.

So perfect!
I rented this for a wedding and definitely would have purchased if I had rented through my membership. I was sad to send it back but ended up buying it through the Lele Sadoughi website. This was a fun bag to carry for an outdoor spring wedding! Many compliments on it, and my toddler niece kept wanting to carry it for me :) This fit an iPhone, card case, lip gloss, and a compact just fine. Can be used with or without the chain strap (keep in mind that the strap is not removable so you’ll have to tuck it inside) As others mentioned, be careful when closing it because the strap needs to be at just the right place for it to shut.

Just okay
Print was nice but I ultimately didn’t end up wearing this. Fabric was stiff but that could be that I received this brand new. Sleeves were an awkward length on me and looked even worse when I folded them up. Maybe it was the one I received but the tie on the waist was uneven. I tried to pull it through to even it out but looked like it was sewn in place on the back.

So many compliments!
Definitely one of my favorite rentals and would totally purchase if available. Super comfortable and I loved the big sleeves! I am typically a large in tops, size 12 in dresses, size 29/30 in jeans, and the large was still a little big. If I rent again, I’ll likely try the medium so it doesn’t look so boxy.

Fit all the essentials
I rented this to go with a RTR gown. It fit all the things I needed: compact, lipstick, iPhone, cards. It also has a chain strap attached--that was a lifesaver during cocktail hour! The color on the bag is beautiful and I loved the ombré detail. Highly recommended!

Beautiful piece!
Loved these earrings! I rented these for a wedding, to go with an RTR dress. They were simple and elegant. The best part is that they were very light, didn't feel like I was wearing any earrings at all!

Gorgeous gown!
I rented this for a wedding and it's one of my favorite rentals. I got tons of compliments on it, and it was a dress that definitely stood out from the crowd. And it has POCKETS!!! For reference, I'm 5'1", size 8-10 in regular dresses but 10-12 in formal ones. I ordered 12 and 14 in this, only because I have rented other gowns and found that most of them do not have much give (I am busty). The size 12 fit me and the 14 was a little loose. I went with the larger size, only because I was going to be in the dress for a long period of time and wanted to be able to move. I had to keep pulling the side of the dress up. A strapless bra is definitely needed, as are at least 3" heels if you're short like me. Mine were almost 4" and the dress still dragged. Another thing to note: the zipper on the size 12 was on the right, making it easier to step into the dress, and the zipper on the size 14 was on the left so I had to put the dress over my head to get into it. I'm not sure if it's because of the size. The zipper was a little tricky too. Overall, a wonderful rental and highly recommended. The bride whose wedding I wore this to is still gushing about the dress!

Beautiful and comfy!
I rented this dress for a bachelorette party. It was a long night and I was comfortable wearing this throughout all the festivities. It's a beautifully made dress and I loved the tie neck! I usually wear a size medium, but went with the large because it fit better at my hips. I suggest wearing a strapless bra and nude underwear, as the layer under the lace is a tad see through. The length was perfect on me (I'm 5'1"), just above my knees. I paired this dress with strappy black heels and a leather jacket--it was such an easy outfit for a night on the town. I got tons of compliments too. I would definitely rent this again!

HUGE earrings!
My bad by not looking closely at the photos and reviews of these earrings! I was excited at how pretty they were. I expected them to be studs, but they were huge! I tried them on and they were too heavy so I didn't end up wearing them. Beautiful piece, just not my style.

Perfect holiday dress!!
Another dress I didn't want to send back! I wore this to my boyfriend's company holiday party. I was afraid that it would be too sparkly (especially for a work function) but it had just the right amount of sparkle. I am 5'1" and the length was perfect on me. I ended up wearing the L because it was more comfortable in the shoulders. For reference: I wear medium in pretty much everything, size 28 waist, between 8 & 10 in dresses. I got TONS of compliments on this dress, would definitely rent again!

Gorgeous & elegant!
I rented this dress for a country club/golf course wedding. It was so pretty, and even though it's entirely sequins, it's not overwhelming. I am usually a size 8 or 10 in dresses but ordered sizes 10 and 12 because I read from other reviews that it ran true to size. I didn't find that to be the case. I was able to fit into the 12, but it was kind of uncomfortable and I had to force the zipper up. The material didn't stretch as much as I thought. Like others have said, the sequins under the arms can be a bother but I got used to it. I got stopped a couple times during the wedding, asking where I got my dress! It definitely stood out in a sea of black and navy dresses!

Gorgeous dress, tons of compliments!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress!! I rented it for a wedding on a ranch. It was absolutely perfect and I ended up sort of matching the bridal party in their coral dresses :) I was so sad when I had to ship this back! I usually wear an 8 or 10, and rented a 10 and 12 since 8 wasn't available. I went with the 10 and it fit perfectly. I'm 5-1" and the length was just right, hit right above my knees. The 12 was a tiny bit more comfortable but it was slightly too long and the neck (both in back and front) was way too big. I was almost able to fold it down like a collar! I would suggest ordering your true size and one up. The fabric has slight stretch but the waist does not. The slip is separate, so I just had to make sure it wasn't bunching. I like that the slip had adjustable straps too! The zipper is a little tough, I had to have help with it. Also, I was able to wear a regular, nude-colored bra so no strapless needed. The outer layer of the dress covers up any straps. Overall, a super cute dress and sooooo many compliments! I would definitely rent again!

Perfect for an outdoor wedding!
LOVED this dress! I'm normally an 8 or 10 in dresses, but after reading reviews, I ordered 6 and 8. I fit into both, but ended up wearing the 8 because it was more comfortable and the sequins sat better across my chest. If I rent again, I would consider sizing up to the 10 to get more of an oversized look. I was able to wear it with a regular bra, no strapless one needed. I wore this to a beach wedding and it was absolutely perfect for a hot Southern California day. It wasn't terribly short on me, but I just had to be cautious because it was pretty breezy! The dresses arrived at my door pretty wrinkled (I was expecting that to happen while in transit) but after taking a steamer to it, it was fine. It didn't wrinkle much while I was wearing it, so that was a huge plus! Also the sequins on it are a little darker than what's on the website. Still beautiful though! I'd definitely rent this dress again! It's comfy, a great length, and the colors photographed beautifully!

Amazing dress!!!
I can't put into words how much I LOVED this dress! If I could keep it, I would :) I rented this for a black tie wedding. I got compliments on the dress all night. My cousin could not stop telling me how gorgeous it was. Other guests at the wedding kept stopping me, asking who the designer was. I felt so beautiful in it!!! Like other reviews said, this dress definitely runs small. The fabric has no stretch, so I would suggest sizing up a size or two to make it more comfortable. I ordered the 10R and 12R, but ended up wearing the larger size. It was still tight but didn't bother me much. I was able to go without a bra, which I never do because I'm busty. The top was tight enough and held me in. The back is low, so if you do wear a bra, get one of the low back straps for it. The zipper is tough but I was still able to zip up by myself. The length was great too. I am 5'1" and with 3-inch heels, the back of the dress barely touched the ground. I absolutely loved the full skirt...and more importantly, the pockets!!! I probably could have gotten away without a clutch because I fit my phone and everything else I needed in the pockets, and it didn't even look like I had anything in them! Accessorizing was simple. I rented some drop earrings for RTR, and wore my own bracelet. No necklace needed, since the dress was a statement in itself! I would highly recommend this dress, and I will more than likely be renting it again with all the weddings I'm attending in the coming months!

Elegant, beautiful piece!
I normally don't wear large earrings because I find them heavy, but I needed something for a black tie wedding. These went beautifully with a Monique Lhuillier I rented from RTR! They were light weight and did not bother me once the entire night. They were just the right amount of dangle. I will definitely rent these again!
