Comfortable!
Rented this as my b-day freebie and wore it to a speaking engagement for work. The fabric is thick and forgiving and the dress is well-constructed. I have thin arms, but did notice what other reviewers said about the sleeves being tight... I didn't take a photo, but I wore it with a black cardigan and a pink statement necklace.

Statement indeed!
This is quite a piece! It was too large for me, but a friend wore it with a simple black dress, and it was perfect! Jewelry arrived in a hard box and was in great condition (this was my first accessory order). I may have turned her on to RTR!

This back-up was a front runner!
Picked this as a back-up, but loved it enough that I wore it as well as the other! Other reviews about the sleeves were accurate. I have lanky arms and found the lace to be snug, so ladies with more muscle, they will be tight. The dress doesn't have stretch, but it fit like a glove. Always a plus when standard bra works (less hassle!!), too. Color is definitely more wine than the purple you may see in some review pics. Would rent this one again!

Here comes the sun! Stunning color!
I wore this for a matinee concert to rave reviews. Dress was well made and in great condition (I am always nervous about lace being pulled and messy... It wasn't). It fit well with only minor issues keeping the straps in place on my shoulders. I wore a strapless bra and didn't require pins or tape to keep everything where it belonged (I'm small on top). I loved this one, especially the pockets!

Previous reviews were spot on (again!).
I ordered the 4R and the 4L... I'm 5'8" without shoes, and found the 4R was PLENTY long (skimmed the top of my feet with 2" heels). The fabric is lightweight, but the dress is lined well. Came out of the box without any wrinkles, and looked great on. Perfect dress for a Valentine's Day benefit.

Loved this back-up as much as my first choice... so I wore them both!
This was my back-up (rented the Shoshana Liz Love Dot in a size 4), and I ended up liking it enough to wear it for one of the two performances. The reader comments were all accurate, down to the somewhat frustrating zipper. I am small on the top, and I can see why some reviewers struggled to fit in the top -- it's cut very slim. Also, the straight waist line didn't fall at the thinnest part of my waist (it was about 2" lower), which was my ONLY complaint. The color is fabulous, and the fabric has great movement. I got as many compliments on this as I did on my first choice... glad I got to wear them both! GREAT first RTR experience!!

Wore this dress for a Broadway Revue concert... the dress reviews were as good as the musical ones!
The comments I read prior to renting were dead on. I ordered the 4 and 6, but as I expected after reading the comments from similarly sized renters, the 4 fit perfectly. It was shorter than I expected, but still appropriate for the event. This was my first RTR experience, so I also ordered a back-up (another blue asymmetrical - the Halston Heritage Tidal Wave, size 6, which also fit perfectly!). The cut of this dress is much better than the RTR picture depicts it. I'd rent this one again... great dress!!
