Pretty dress, great color
I was a little worried about the cut of this dress being unflattering but it looked great. In the end, I wore my backup dress because I liked it a little better but I would definitely rent this again. The zipper is a little tough, but it's worth a little elbow grease.

Gorgeous dress, impossible zipper
The dress fit flawlessly and looked absolutely stunning on, but the zipper was extremely difficult to work with even though the dress was not tight to wear at all.

Great strapless dress
I'm always nervous about strapless dresses, but this one fit beautifully and didn't need to be pulled up every 30 seconds, which was great. The cream and gold color is very classy looking and the dress is a nice length. I would definitely wear this again.

Doesn't look like the photo
The sleeves were way too big on me so it looked more like a boat neck/off the shoulder thing, and the fabric is very heavy and sort of reminded me of a curtain or something like that. It was flattering on, but I didn't end up wearing it out because of the weird fit.

This is a cute, basic dress. Nothing too special. Fits well and looks good on.

Just ok
I didn't love the way I looked in this dress. It hit me at the perfect spot to make my thighs look enormous and the neckline didn't do much for me. That said, when I wore it, I got a lot of compliments so maybe it didn't look as bad to anyone else. The sequins are a little itchy and the sleeves were a little tight as well. Not my favorite rental.

Perfect for pictures
I was having professional photos taken and wanted to add a little something to a basic tank top. This was perfect, not crazy blingy but substantial enough to make impact.

This dress is very flattering without showing too much cleavage or being too short. Great for hanging out with my boyfriend's parents and little kids but still looking really cute

Very sparkly, fun, classy necklace
I wore this necklace with two very different dresses while on vacation with my fiancé and it looked stunning both times. He's not usually a big fan of statement necklaces but he really liked this one and it made me feel extra special and gorgeous. I was very sad to have to send this one back. Would definitely recommend and rent again!

Classy, sexy date night dress!
The dress fits beautifully, but ladies with larger busts should be aware that it is pretty cleavage-y. It's very classy, a nice thick material and a gorgeous color. I was sad to send this dress back. As other reviewers have said, the straps are a little loose and having pockets is really convenient. The size 10 dress had a small white stain on the bottom when I got it, but it wasn't very noticeable and it didn't bother me at all. Also, there was some bad weather in the Northeast that meant the dress might not make it on time and the customer service regarding this issue was absolutely fantastic! Love RTR and look forward to many more rentals in the future!

Perfect fit
This dress is very true to size, but the blue is darker in person than it appears in the pictures. It's definitely still a gorgeous dress. It is short enough to not look at all frumpy, but long enough to be appropriate for my boyfriend's family's Christmas party (tons of little kids and conservative family members). I also loved that the dress required minimal accessorizing. It fit like a dream, and I felt very classy and cute. Both my boyfriend and his family members liked this dress so I give it a huge thumbs ups!

Perfect, flattering day to night dress!
I wore this dress for a day out with my mom and older brother to Navy Pier in Chicago and then to a nice dinner and bars later that night. With a statement necklace, cardigan, and flats, I got dozens of compliments on the Pier and was perfectly comfortable on boat rides, etc. With ankle high boots and a different necklace, this dress easily transitioned from casual to a little dressy. It's a very high quality material. You can wear just about any kind of bra with it. It's an excellent shade of lavender (pretty true to the photos). I have no complaints about this dress and would wear it a thousand times over.

Pretty NYE Dress
I got tons of compliments on this dress. Everyone from random people to my boyfriend loved it on me. It is extremely pretty, fun, and sparkly. Both the medium and the large fit me, but the medium was so short that it easily could have been a sparkly tank top rather than a dress. The large is also fairly short; they really mean it when they say mini! Also, I wouldn't eat a big meal in it; it shows everything! Otherwise, great dress, great experience.

Gorgeous dress for law school prom!
This dress was a back-up because the one I was going to wear was damaged by the previous renter, but it fit absolutely flawlessly and I got so many compliments on it all night. I had a great experience with customer service and I had so much fun at prom that I got no pictures on the night of. The zipper is really, really stiff, but just put your back into it, because this dress is absolutely beautiful and made me look like a supermodel.

Huge hit at my boyfriend's graduation!
The dress was a little hard to zip, but it fit like a glove. I'm a little bit busty, so even though the 10 fit, I wore the 12 to have a little more room up top (and to be parent appropriate). This dress was perfect: family friendly, but still cute enough to get tons of compliments, and it photographed beautifully. As always, my RTR experience was great and I look forward to renting again for my next event!

Rented for law school prom
I didn't end up wearing this one, but I'm a pretty busty girl and this dress was huge on top on me. After pinning it, it was fine and very very cute. I also had an amazing experience with RTR customer service when the 10 was damaged by the last user. They sent me an absolutely gorgeous back-up dress that fit perfectly and looked incredible free of charge and overnighted it all to me. Best customer service I've ever dealt with. Will definitely be renting again!

Didn't end up wearing it
Just wanted to review so that curvier ladies (especially up top) would know that it's pretty fitted throughout and actually turned out way too short on me.

Perfect for my boyfriend's fraternity formal!
I wore the dress to a fraternity formal at the Lake and it was perfect, formal but not overdone, comfortable, but still really cute. I got tons of compliments on it and everyone wanted to know where I got it. I would go a size down in the backup size, since this is a loose cut, but I wore the medium and it fit perfectly.
