Adorable!
I rented this purse for my engagement pictures and I think that it added just the right touch of whimsy.

Glamour!
I rented this dress for my engagement photos. I wanted something to compliment a checker taxi and add a little elegance. This dress was extremely comfortable and not heavy at all - considering it is fully sequined. The only drawback for me was that the natural shape and draping of the dress make a pear shaped body look extremely pear shaped. Other than that - the dress photographed beautifully.

Beautiful colors..
I rented this dress for a wedding.. the colors were absolutely beautiful and the waistline was very flattering! I didn't wear it because the shoulder straps came up so high that I would have had to shrug my shoulders all night. I didn't have time to pin down the straps (or the equipment as I was already at my hotel).. but luckily I also rented a back up dress.

Once again, everyone loved the dress that I had on!
I rented this dress for a family function. Its a simple black wrap dress with an adorable ruffle. I ordered the size 4 and the size 6 as a backup. There are three forces at work to keep this dress closed properly and this is where I hit a bit of a snag. First there is an oversized snap on the inside to initially secure the dress. On the outside is the tie ribbon and there are two hook and loop closures - one at the waist and one to cover cleavage. On the size 4 the threads that were supposed to be the loops in "hook and loop" were absent. On the size 6 the inside snap was defective and popped open every time you tried to snap it. After trying both dresses, I decided that the inside snap was more important than the hook and loops - as the tie ribbon basically kept the outside secure and the bust line was not that low. The dress looked great and was very comfortable. Once again every one loved my dress and couldn't believe that it was rented!

My building's concierge messed up and didn't accept my dress the day before my event, but RTR came to my rescue and got the dress to me with plenty of time the day of my event!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress! This dress is fun and has a classic look to it.. everyone complimented it! Its very comfortable to wear as well. I usually wear a 4 but I wore my backup size 6 since the 4 felt a little tight around the natural waist. Even one size up the dress wasn't too long on me (even though I am 5'4"). I felt great in this dress! If you are considering it for an event, I say go for it!!

Being stopped and complimented by people you don't even know makes you feel great! I've never felt more confident..
I rented this dress for a summer wedding. I rented the small and the medium as a backup but the small was unavailable so I took my chances with medium and it worked out with a little pinning in the back at the waist. I felt wonderful in this dress. People were stopping me all night long to compliment the dress. One person commented on how confident I looked.. I have this dress (and some very strategically placed garment tape and petals) to thank for that confidence.

Bright and Beautiful
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner during summer and it felt great on. The dress has a hook closure on the inside before you zip it up so you know that its not shifting or going anywhere! Everyone complimented the bright summer colors.. it was a lot of fun to wear (and it has pockets)! I paired it with a bright blue clutch and nude heels. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures in the dress...

Walking into the venue felt great.. random people outside were telling us how beautiful we looked.
This dress was the perfect choice for a black tie wedding that I attended. The sequins on the square neckline were just the right amount of sparkle and the square neckline itself was very flattering. The material was just the right amount of stretch and shape.. Just keep in mind that by the end of the night, my arms became slightly irritated where they rubbed on the sequins. I loved wearing this dress and next time would considering renting another color without the sequins!
