Perfect jumpsuit
This black jumpsuit is simple but sharp. The puffy sleeves add a bold touch to this look. I'm definitely renting it again and hope I can buy this. It should be a closet staple.

Orange Goddess!!
This dress is EVERYTHING! First of all, the bright orange is an attention getter. All eyes on you as you enter the room. The asymmetrical neckline is flattering and the handkerchief hemline is a unique aspect of this Solace London gown. The only minor thing to remember is to lift a bit of the skirt as you walk because you don't want to trip over it as you walk. Other than that with the right jewelry and shoes, you'll be smokin' hot!

Trendy and unique but runs small
The pros: beautiful color, trendy and unique cut and perfect for a party if you're not looking for something too dressy. The cons: This dress by Milly runs small. I'm a solid 10 and it was snug by my hip area.

Pretty color but too much going on with this dress
First the pros: the color is beautiful and the dress attempts to be unique because it is structured. The cons: Depending on the season of year, the fabric is very heavy and thick. Probably best for fall, winter or fall but not summer. There are a lot of features on the dress: the tulip hemline, the cape sleeve and the small opening in the neckline. I think it is all too overwhelming. The caped sleeve is very awkward because it is too long. The opening of the neckline is also very small and makes putting on the dress cumbersome. Overall it's not a dress that will look good on most people.

This KaufmanFranco dress is everything! It is simple yet speaks volumes. The one sleeved cape look is gorgeous and lends a unique element to the dress. It is so comfortable and I will definitely rent this one again. Love, love, love it! If I could buy it right now, I would.

Pretty jumpsuit
I didn’t wear this jumpsuit because the bachelorette party ended up being less formal than I expected. The top part fit me fine but the bottom was too loose in my opinion but the 8R was tight in the busy and fit just perfect on the bottom

Beautiful dress in every way
Marchesa Notte does not disappoint in this gorgeous gown with mosaic detail and embroidery. The only issue I had was that the slip underneath would peek out from underneath and also this designer rums small. I am a solid 10 and had to wear a 12 because there is no give in the fabric and it is tight around the hips. Other than that, a true beauty in every way!

Runs very very small
This Osman dress is truly one of a kind and very unique with bold ruffles that bring major drama to the dress. However, at US size 10 it was incredibly small and I couldn't zip up. It is such a shame because it is gorgeous and I really wanted to wear it.

I love the tailoring on this outfit, however, I did not give it 4 stars because the outfit makes the tummy area seem a bit bloated. Otherwise, it is a beautiful piece.

Gorgeous color and stunning dress!
This canary yellow dress could stop traffic and really lit up the night when I wore it to a friend's wedding. The fit was perfect; I did not wear it off the shoulder as I found that wearing the straps up looked better on me. I wish I could keep this dress and was so sad to return it. Another stunning dress by Jay Godfrey!

Beautiful color and quality but not for me
This Chiara Boni dress is a beautiful burgundy color. Perfect for a fall wedding or other formal affair. When I put it on, I wasn't as impressed. It hugged in all the right places but the criss cross in the front didn't lie perfectly flat and I didn't like the mesh 3/4 sleeves on me. I chose to wear the Christian Pelizzari Mixed Media gown instead. For me, it didn't have that WOW factor I was looking for. Maybe on someone else it would look beautiful.

THIS DRESS!
This gown from Christian Pellizzari was unforgettable! I don't normally like black gowns because I like to stand out in a sea of black but this dress is beyond unique and brings the drama and the elegance. It is a statement dress and should be worn with minimal jewelry to let the dress do the talking. It is a one of a kind dress that will leave people staring at you or after you! The waist is a bit tight and I needed another person to help me zip up the dress but once it is on, all I can say is WOW! The dress has movement when you walk and it is just AMAZING. Two women at the event complimented me on it. There was definitely no one there with anything close to this dress. I was so sad to return it... really! Hopefully it will be at a future sample sale.

I did not wear the dress even though it is beautiful. I felt it was too fancy for the event I was attending but I would rent it again for another function. The size 10 fit perfectly and I was going to pair it with gold accessories and clutch.

This cuff is very unique and is an attention grabber. I gave 4 stars because it was very tight on my wrist. It was difficult to put it on and take it off without having the metal scratch my wrist. Other than that, a beautiful piece!

Little black dress with a twist!
I rented this for a graduation party and this was suitable for the event. I wore the 12 because I think this designer runs a bit small. I usually wear an 8 or 10, mostly 10. It was very comfortable and the gold underlay is beautiful. I paired them with simple strappy sandals and an oversized black Kooba clutch. Overall, loved the dress and would rent it again!

Interesting structure to the top
The structure of this top is interesting and beautiful. The only negative aspect is that it is open in the front and you would need some fashion tape so your belly isn't exposed. Other than that, it's not something you see on anyone, which adds to it's uniqueness. the color is a beautiful bold red which makes a statement. Pair it with black pants and simple stilettos with some bold gold jewelry and you're good to go!

I was worried that these earrings would be large, but they weren't. I wore these with an orange cocktail dress and gold bracelet by Cara. The gold looked so nice against the orange and I matched the dress with metallic gold sandals and clutch.

Another beautiful dress by ML Monique Luillier!
This dress is a gorgeous navy blue taffeta. It fit like a glove and definitely would be something I would buy at a future sample sale if available. The only problem with the dress is that it wrinkles a bit at the bottom due to the stiff fabric of the dress and the zipper is hard to zip at the middle of the waist. I recommend having someone zipper for you but other than that, the dress is a real winner! Love, love love!!

These beautiful navy blue earrings are very nice but because my dress was navy blue they blended into the dress rather than stand out. I would rent these again for a different dress.

Gorgeous dress but didn't wear
I had this dress as a back up for my father-in-law's 70th birthday surprise but ended up wearing a pink lace cocktail dress by Monique Lluiller. It is beautiful and fit like a glove but I decided the other one was more appropriate and also because I've been wearing a lot of red lately to parties I attended.

The dress is perfect for a bridal shower, luncheon or any day time event.
The lace is classy and the open back is unique. I haven't worn it yet, but I bought it at a sample sale because I know I will have a couple of events coming up this year that I will wear the dress. Beautiful navy color! I plan on pairing it with a silver or gold clutch, simple earrings and evening sandals. So glad I bought it and I paid a cheap price!

Sparkly and fun!
This was my second choice for a recent party I attended and I'm so glad I chose it. The color of the dress is a rose gold so any nude or gold heels would compliment it nicely. This is truly a fun dress for a holiday party. The only gripe I have is that the zipper is a bit hard to zip up but with a little tug here and there, I got it to zip just fine. The shoulder straps can fall a bit so I used some fashion tape and it worked like a charm. Overall, GREAT dress and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stand out of a crowd and shine. Loved it! By the way, customer service at RTR is awesome. A go-to girl named Serena helped me out and she was super nice and super helpful! Love RTR and a loyal customer!!

Princess for the Night!
I rented both the 8R and 10R and decided to go with the 10R. The dress was unbelievably beautiful! I paired it with a pair of rhinestone encrusted 4 inch heels (I'm 5'5") and the length was just perfect and slightly grazed the floor. I also wore sparkly earrings and rhinestone bracelet with rhinestone silver clutch completed the look. Don't forget to do your hair ( I did a classic updo) and neutral makeup since it's a deep emerald green so you want the dress to do the talking. Overall, absolutely stunning! Would rent the other colors o this dress too! The only gripe I have is the zipper. It was a bit hard to zip up but with two tries I was able to. Another hit from Rent the Runway!!

Great dress for going to a quiet birthday dinner with my husband!
This Kate Spade dress was the perfect dinner date dress. I took my husband out for his birthday in NYC's STK restaurant and suited the occasion perfectly. The sash was a bit tricky to figure out at first but other than that, the dress is beautiful. The length of the dress was just right and the material is pretty. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my second RTR experience! Can't wait to rent again!
