This dress was amazing! I was nervous about the white and nervous the sleeves would be too puffy. But they weren't! The white is not see through but you will need a nude bra and nude undergarments without seams. I normally wear an 8 but the 8 in this was just a tad snug on my hips and rode up a bit so I went with the 10 which fit well but was a tad loose. But overall the fit was great. I am curvy so that's just how it goes. If you are curvy, size up. If you are slender, normal size probably will be fine. My husband loved this dress on me. I got compliments all night long. Great dress! If you decide to rent it, be sure to have the confidence to go with it.

Boss babe style!

I loved this dress, but didn't end up wearing it because it was too loose. I normally wear an 8 or Med but this Medium was too loose to have the tailored look I was going for. The shoulder pads are BIG! So be prepared to make a statement. It is low cut, so some tape or bra might be needed. It is a little short, but nothing too terrible. My husband liked this dress on me but ultimately we decided it was too loose so I went with a different option. I would consider this again in a smaller size. It is a fun, comfy dress!

Flattering material and comfortable

This dress is so comfortable and the fabric is very nice. It is a flattering material. I didn't end up wearing it because I chose one of the other dresses. But this was my second choice. The neckline does kind of need a necklace though. I would size down on this. I normally wear an 8 but would have worn the 6 better in this. No bra needed. Very flattering on my hourglass figure.

Busty gals--steer clear of this one

I was looking forward to this dress but the fit was so awkward. I got the size 8. I am 5'5" 148 lbs and 36C. Hourglass figure. The dress fit on bottom but the top basically smooshed my chest and it looked so odd. My husband and I were befuddled. It appears to work well on an hourglass figure but it does not. If you have any curves up top, steer clear. It fit my hips but not my bust. I think it would be great for tall, thin gals. I liked the material -- thick and high quality. Just not for me.

Elegant yet comfortable

It has pockets! It was comfortable yet made a statement. I wore this for a masquerade theme fundraising event I coordinated. It was a very functional dress yet still had a formal feel to it. It runs true to size or a tad on the larger size. It does not run small at all. Rent your normal size.

I loved this dress! But is runs SMALL!!! The large did not fit me and I am a 10/12. I was nervous that the flounce wouldn't look good with my large bust, but it was so cute! It was just way to tight around the midsection. The fabric color is so pretty! And it sits nicely off the shoulders. You can definitely skip a bra if you wanted to. Awesome dress! Bummed I couldn't wear it.

Gorgeous print! Very form fitting, but flattering. Hits just below knee. Cleavage was fine for wedding, but probably too much for a work or professional event. I didn't have to wear a bra with this which made it so much more comfortable! Love the cap sleeves.

Pretty colors, fit wasn't great

The colors are very vibrant and the material was so nice. But it did NOT look flattering on my because of my large bust. The high neckline and seams just didn't work for me. I tried the size 10 and it fit just not flattering. It is a very nice, pretty dress though. I didn't end up wearing it.

Sooo pretty!

I didn't get to wear this because it was tooooo tight in the upper arm and shoulder. I sized down two sizes (mostly because that was the only size available--oops) because the reviews said it ran large. Wrong. I think it runs true to size and is supposed to have an oversized style. If I had my regular size (10) I think it would have been perfect. It is a gorgeous jacket. I ended up with a 6 and looked like a "fat guy in a little coat" ahahahah! I could have probably pulled off an 8. But like I said, the sizes I needed weren't available and the reviews indicated it ran really big so I took a leap of faith. And fell flat. Dangit! So now I can't wear it.

Stop browsing and rent this dress! It is the most beautiful emerald green! The fit is slim but still very comfortable! I have gotten a bit plumper than usual and consider myself curvy. This dress still fit well. I do recommend sizing up! I got sooooo many compliments! The only con is that the little lace around the nexk didn't stand up like it was supposed to but no big deal.

Fit is spot on. I have larger chest and it fit fine. There was a bit of cleavage but nothing too revealing. Skirt is full and comfy! I think this would look cute with belt but I was on a trip and did not have one handy. It was in good condition and had pockets. I recommend if you are looking for an easy-to-wear dress. Not a major head turner but good for a function where you want to look good and blend in.

Interesting Dress!

This is a very neat dress! A twist on the LBD. Fabric is weird but very cool. This dress had an edgy vibe but still classy. It fit well and seemed comfortable. I ended up wearing my backup style because this showed more cleavage than I would have liked for a work Gala. If I had been going to a personal function, I would have worn it and gone with an edgy look. Fun dress!

Comfortable dress!

This dress appears to be a wine/red color in the photo. It is actually a jewel tone purple and is very pretty. It has a black background on the fabric. It also hangs lower in the back which does not show in this photo. It is such pretty material. The v-neck had just the right dip in it -- not too much cleavage, but still very pretty. I have a larger chest and this fit well. It was very comfortable to wear. The skirt flares a bit so would be good for those with larger bottom halves. I ordered an 8 and a 10 and the 8 fit perfect. My normal size is an 8 but sometimes I need a 10 in pants or other snug fitting clothes. The pockets are handy but I did not use them. My bra straps showed on my shoulders a bit and you can't wear a racer back because there is a cut out on the back. You could go bra less or strapless though. I got a lot of compliments of course because it is a truly pretty dress. It is a bit on the longer side. I wore black hose and a black blazer since it was cool. Another RTR score! This dress is a safe bet for fit but will look very pretty. I recommend for an event where you want to stand out but not look too revealing.

Lots of compliments, as usual with RTR dress!

The color is very pretty. Very rich pinks and peach. Length is right above knee. The fit was good except for it gapping in the arm holes near my arm pits. I am busty so that might have been the issue. It was fine, but I was surprised because most RTR dresses fit well. The quality was great. Very comfortable. Not going to WOW the crowd but was very nice for an afternoon wedding. I got a lot of compliments as I always do when I wear RTR dresses. The quality of the dresses just really lend themselves to lots of compliments. I am an RTR addict!

Pretty but kind of cheap feeling

The green jewels were very pretty and added nice color to the black dress I wore it with. Nothing special about this necklace though. It felt very cheaply made -- much like costume jewelry. I would never purchase this necklace but it was just right for what I needed especially at a $5 rental.

Understated yet flattering

I rented this for a work function gala. I wanted to look classy and sophisticated without drawing too much attention to myself. This was form fitting in an appropriate way. It felt really good on and was comfortable. I have larger bust and hips but this fit perfect in all areas. The lining is low cut in the chest area but the lace offers good coverage. I was able to zip and unzip this dress by myself. I got instant compliments and they continued throughout the evening. Another RTR dress that did not disappoint! LOVE IT!

This was large enough to fit phone, lipsticks and ID/cc. It is very cute and perfect for a formal event. Easy to open and close. The cord strap was tangled up and I could not untangle it so could not use the shoulder strap but it was fine as a clutch.

This fit comfortably and true to size. It is a very cute dress, but I didn't wear it because I wore my 2nd choice instead. I feel like this dress is very cute and pretty. But it doesn't really make a statement. The white is very ivory -- more yellow than white. Overall, a cute dress.

Jaw dropper!

I wore this as my reception dress at my wedding. It was great to take off my hot, heavy wedding gown and put this on. It is lighter weight than it looks. The color is a gorgeous nude/gold tone that was perfect for my wedding. The fit was just right. I usually wear an 8 and the 8 fit well in this. I could have worn a 6 but it would have been a bit too snug. It is very curve-fitting but not too tight. The bottom rear of the dress is longer than the front, which was fine, but it does skim the ground. I had to hold this up off the ground when I took off my heels. The sequins around the bottom did snag on my satin Badgley Mischka wedding shoes. So that is kind of a bummer. But guests were absolutely stunned at how gorgeous this is. So if you want to make a statement, you must rent this. Very glamourous. I loved it. Will update photos when I get some from the photographer.

Nothing special

This clutch is very heavy and bulky. It is also a darker, steel gray and a very matte color. It is not light or shimmery at all. I actually did not use because I really didn't end up needing it. I would not recommend this purse unless you feel like carrying around a brick all night. I have always loved my RTR items, but this was my least favorite.

This dress is a bit brighter purple than the plum it looks like in the photo. It fit nicely and is good quality. I got several compliments. Not too long, not too short. Overall a comfortable dress. It is good for a somewhat conservative event because there is nothing too flashy or revealing about it. It isn't really a "wow" dress like some of the others I've rented. But overall, a safe bet.

Better in person!

This dress is sooooooo adorable! The fabric is great. Not too thin but not to thick. The color is much more vibrant that in the picture. I wore it foran outdoor wedding. I have an hourglass shape and fairly large bust so was worried that there would be too much cleavage. It was just right and I got so many compliments. It is a nice length--not too long, not too short.I hated to have to send it back.

Great dress

I usually wear an 8 but have been inching toward a 10 lately. I ended up wearing the 10 in this dress. I needed the bigger size to fit my curvy rear and bust. I would recommend some nude shorts or spanx underneath since the bottom is slightly sheer. I received many compliments -- this dress is certainly and eye catcher.
