Cute, but not a good look or fit for me
This was a back-up dress that I didn't wear. Seemed a bit too "baby doll" for someone my age. And the there isn't much support up front - it made my breasts look pathetic. It would look cute on a teen or twenty-something that didn't need as much support up front.

Gorgeous fit for hour glass and athletic body types!
Perfect velvet dress for the holiday party! The open back with adjustable straps makes it perfect for those of us with small waists, but need something bigger across the back. As I varying n size depending the fit across the back, I wore the size 2, instead of the 4, as it fit well in the waist and was more flattering. Super comfortable! Wanted to keep it, but RTR said it was being rented again, so I had to return it.

Flattering, fun, and fabulous!
The small fit me like a glove and looked amazing! I wore an adhesive bra with it, but you could easily wear a bra with adjustable straps if you need more support. I bounce between XS and S, depending on the cut, but I definitely needed the S in this style.

Stunning and comfortable!
This head turning gown emphasizes and smooths all the right parts with a thick luxurious material, just the right amount of side leg exposure, and a flattering (not overly revealing) neckline. You can wear a real bra under this one, which makes for a comfortable fit that lasts through long events and allows for dance moves too risky for strapless dresses (no popping out of this dress!). At 5'2", I wore my 5" wedges to bring the length to just above the floor. Loved this dress so much that I've rented it twice!

Gorgeous, forgiving material in a flattering style! Stayed comfortable all evening. Runs short!
I keep gravitating to one shoulder dresses like this one as they combine sexy with comfort, and provide more shoulder/back room for athletic built ladies like myself. This dress' thick yet stretchy material smooths over all problem areas; it felt fabulous, while remaining breathable! Depending on your needs, you could where a bra with one strap for support. I went with Braza stickers and had no issues with comfort or form. Please note that, length wise, this dress runs short! At 5'2", the 2R still fell short of my shoes. My massive heals were quite visible, which didn't bother me, but I'm not a fashionista striving for perfection. If you're over 5 ft tall, I recommend ordering this in a Long.

Va-va-voom! Hot number!
I wore this dress for a night out in Las Vegas and loved it! Comfortable, conforming fit, allows for a bra, and helped to accentuate curves in a sexy, head-turning way, without revealing too much. Will rent this one again! Runs small. I normally wear a 0 or 2, but went with the 4.

More conservative than I pictured
I rented this for a Vegas party weekend, but I think it's more for a wedding. It also was skin tight on me. I didn't wear it, opting for sequin dress, but would have wanted a larger size to be comfortable anyway.

Wore these to compliment a silver sequin dress. Big enough to be be noticed without being over the top or too heavy.

Hot little number that was easy to wear!
I rented this for a girls weekend in Las Vegas. Perfect choice! Sexy, but tasteful. Comfortable to wear with its spaghetti straps: I wore a strapless bra with it, but could have gone without as well. It occasionally felt itchy with the sequins, but not enough to make it uncomfortable.

Stylish and beautiful, but not flattering on my figure.
I loved the trendy style of this dress and the size zero it fit nicely on the top, but just hung straight down from there, not showing off my figure. If I was smaller on top and stick figure, or fuller through the hips, it would have been a more flattering dress.

Made for a pear shaped person
This was a very pretty dress, but didn't fit me in a flattering way. In the size 2, the top and waist fit me just fine, but the back side bubbled out in an unsexy way. This dress would look stunning on someone a bit more pear shaped.

Fun, unique, and easy to wear dress!
This sparkly piece was perfect for a reception, and could be played up for a classier event, or played down for an evening in Vegas! I appreciated the how the style allowed for a real bra, plus room to move, but it could have been a bit more fitted to show off ones figure; I wore a size zero, which is small for me, but it still was roomy, giving it a less sexy feel. I gave it four versus five stars based on how loose it was at size zero.

HOT dress that gives you all the right curves in all the right places!
I enjoyed wearing this HOT dress that showed off curves perfectly! I felt like Jessica Rabbit in this one! Note that I wore my back-up size of size 4, as opposed to the size 2, and it was a bit tight in the legs, but luckily, I had very little walking too do - small steps! I comfortably stood during the cocktail party and sat at dinner. I will add this to my list of potential repeat rentals, but perhaps try the size 6 as a back-up to see if is as flattering, but move more easily.

Pretty and easy to wear!
This pretty and easy to wear bracelet stretches to comfortably slide on an off, without fear of it slipping off during wear, even on the dance floor! I gave it "four stars" as opposed to "five stars" as it doesn't sparkle and shine like a statement piece (like the necklace I'm wearing in this picture), but is was a nice accessory.

Unique and stunning! Perfect for a party!
I wore this dress for a night out in Las Vegas and it was perfect! I loved the gradient violet that sparkled - truly a unique choice over the basic black dress! Fit wise, I tend to wear anything from XS to M based on how it fits across the back (I'm built like a swimmer with a broad back and shoulders) and I was not able to zip up the size 2, while the size 4 fit well across the back and still fit nicely in the waist and hips. I loved that it had a sexy cut, but I could still wear it wear a normal bra. As with all sequin dresses, I had expected and endured abrasiveness on the inside of my arms while dancing, but we tend to dance with our arms up in the air anyway, right? Highly recommended dress. I also loved the Badgley Mischka Necklace I wore with it, but would recommend a piece in a darker shade to better compliment this dress. Also, one of my pictures shows my girlfriend wearing a Herve Leger dress (Lady Moscow), which was stunning and I have reserved to wear for another occasion in a size small.

Repeat rental on this fun and easy sequin beauty!
I've worn this one before and used it as a backup dress as I know it fits comfortably and shows well! I love that I can wear a regular bra with the dress and it's sufficiently lined to not feel scratchy. The online photos don't show that there are blue and red sequins blended in with the silver, therefore don't be surprised by the multiple colors.

Gorgeous, sexy, transforming dress!
The first thing you'll notice when the this dress arrives is how incredibly weighty the dress is... the high quality, heavy material wraps your body tightly just where it's needed! Note that I wore my backup size of Medium, where as I typically wear small or extra small. At first, the fit concerned me - that even the medium wouldn't be comfortable - however, it worked out great! I could move just fine and it gave me curves just where I wanted them! As I wore this dress to party in the winter, I loved how the sexy cut made me feel gorgeous while the sleeves kept m from freezing! So nice to not have to borrow my husband's jacket for once! Loved this dress! I will be tempted to order it again! Lastly, I rented a stunning necklace that really made the outfit pop, as well as a bracelet and earrings. A statement necklace is a must to keep the low cut dress from drawing too much attention. ;-)

Big Bling without a heavy weight!
These earrings bring a substantial bling, however, since the back is cleverly hollowed out, your ears won't feel weighted down or look like your ears lobes are stretched! Great pop of sparkle with no concerns!

Cute cute cute!
This dress fit me like a glove and I had so many compliments! The one shoulder style allowed for a one-strap bra which help add to the comfort. The simple belt brought interest without being too much. My only complaint is that the dress was tight thought the lower thighs ( I'm 5'2") which made walking a bit challenging. Perhaps a larger size would have alleviated the walking issue.

Lovely and flattering!
This dress makes long sleeves look sexy! It's a sleek and flattering dress with beautiful sparkling details. The XS fit me just fine, but I would have liked to try the S as well... It might have been a bit roomier in the arms - I often have issues with sleeves being too tight (I have an athletic build). This is a perfect dress for a company holiday party, or any winter party where sleeveless is less optimal, while the sleekness and length keep it from looking matronly.

Hot! Hot! Hot!
Fun dress! Gorgeous color of red in a light, yet beautiful feeling fabric! The only issue I had was trying to figure out how to put it on with all the draping fabric; required me looking at the RTR photos and rearranging it several times! But, once I had it on, my husband loved this dress on me! The perfect Vegas party dress! Given how light the fabric is, unless you're extremely warm blooded, don't mind getting cold, or will be wearing it to a venue that will be quite warm, I wouldn't recommend it for a winter dress. I rated it four instead of five stars due to the challenge of getting the dress on correctly.

Great quality! Flattering on anyone!
First thing I noticed on the dress was the weight: lots of high quality fabric and beautiful sparkly beads! I was concerned about how heavy the dress felt out of the box, but once on, there were no issues - the weight was evenly distributed and felt just fine! The dress hugs and stretches for a flattering fit. I loved the look and feel of the dress, but needed to have a much larger size than normal for me... I couldn't zip up the size four at all and I'd probably need a size six or eight (I generally wear sizes zero to four, depending on how the dress fits across the back as I have an athletic build). Beautiful, but order a size up if you're not straight and narrow.

Not for an athletic petite person
I thought this dress was pretty, and it fit my waist and hips, but I couldn't zip it up the sides (this was the size 4). A larger size may have fit my top, but most likely would have been too big in the waist and hips, and not flattering. I have a gymnast build with broad back/shoulders, so others may have better luck with it.m I was bummed not to be able to wear it.

Beautiful and amazingly comfortable!
This gown not only looks gorgeous, but the fabric feels gorgeous as well, making for a very comfortable fit, as well as a stunning look! I have a gymnast's build (short, slender, but with shoulders!) and the one shoulder style provided plenty of room while the body of the dress nicely accentuated the rest of me. The style allowed for a multi-way bra (strap that goes over the shoulder and crosses the back), so I didn't have to deal with stick on bras or a strapless bra, which added to the comfort of the dress. Lengthwise, since I am 5'2" tall, I wore five inch heels, which kept the gown off the floor. A lower heel would have been fine as the dress opens nicely in front when walking, so you won't be stepping on a hem that hits the floor. Concerning size, I thought the 2R was going to be the right size when I ordered, but luckily I had requested the 4R which fit me like a glove. The 2R fit in the waist, but not the upper body. The 4R fit comfortably, but was not loose. Overall, I loved the dress, had many compliments, and would definitely recommend both RTR and this dress to others!
