Stunner Beautiful Dress!
This dress was so flowy and gorgeous! I did a size 0R only because the 0P wasn't available. This dress was extremely long on me---I'm 5'2 and 1/2 and even with 3 inch heels I had to pick it up whenever I walked---but it otherwise was a good fit and was not at all baggy. I loved that I was able to wear a normal bra with this one, and I definitely felt that it flattered my figure. My sister wore it another night on our cruise (she's 5'4 and about 115 pounds) and it looked amazing on her too. Love this dress!

Fun necklace with pizzaz
Loved the color of this necklace and thought it went great with the BCBGMAXAZRIA Cobalt Oblique dress. As other reviews have noted, the little pieces don't lay flat very well, thus the 4 stars. Still great though!

Loved this dress!
This dress was perfect for an anniversary dinner with my husband. It fit like a glove, and the cutout gave it that extra something. I loved the vibrant blue color, and loved that I could wear a normal bra with it. I wore it with the Kenneth Jay Lane Candelaria necklace. Would highly recommend this one!

Not a show stopper, but it does the job
This dress doesn't have the "wow" factor I was expecting, and it also was not as form-fitting as I expected. If there were a 00 size, that would probably have fit me better. It did absolutely nothing for my figure. The mesh part looks kind of 80's style, which is not really what I was going for. You can't wear a normal bra with this one, but I went without a bra and was just fine. I'm giving this dress 4 stars because it does the job of a long black dress, but if you're looking for a standout dress, look elsewhere.

Great mix of risque and elegant
This dress shows a lot of cleavage which isn't usually my style, but the length and color of this dress keep it tasteful. I loved that I was able to wear a normal bra with it, although a lot of fashion tape was required to keep it in place. The dress fit like a glove. I'd recommend putting some bronzer on your chest if you're super pale like me -- it's not something I thought of beforehand, but I noticed in photos later that my chest was much more pale than my face :-/.

Loved this dress!
I was very pleased by this dress and thought it was perfect for the black tie optional wedding I was going to. Photos don't do it justice. It's very elegant and somewhat heavy. I was able to wear a strapless bra with no problems. The dress is long---I'm 5'2 and 1/2and wore 3 inch heels, and it touched the floor, but it was definitely workable. The dress would have worked better for someone with a bigger chest though; there was too much room at the top for me.

Fun dress, great colors
Rented this dress for a cruise with the fam. It totally fit in with the vacation/fun vibe, while still being classy. It's certainly not a dressy dress, but definitely appropriate for drinks with friends or going somewhere warm on vaca.

Wonderful necklace
Well, I knew I'd love this necklace as soon as I saw it, and sure enough it was awesome. It can be dressed up or down, and it went great with the Badgley Mischka yellow peacock dress I rented! The length was perfect.

This bag is a statement maker!
Loved the bag, both the "MR. and MRS." side, and the gold side. If you try to cram too much stuff in it, it won't close very well and might pop open, but just minimize, and you'll be fine :)

Amazing super-fun dress!
Rented this as my b-day dress, and it totally made the night!!! I wore it with the RTR Kate Spade "Mr and Mrs" purse, and turquoise Kendra Scott earrings. The dress doesn't really need to be accessorized, but I thought the earrings were a nice touch. Wearing it put me in such a festive mood, and the back is super fun!! You don't need a bra with it because the material is thick enough, and I didn't feel I needed any fashion tape for the open part in the back, although I'd recommend it if you want to ensure the fabric is laying flat the entire time. The dress fit perfectly, and the material was stretchy and super comfortable. I couldn't recommend this one highly enough.

BEST DRESS EVER!!!!
RTR sent me this dress after the one I had ordered was damaged/not returned on time. This is hands down the funnest/best dress I have ever worn. I felt like a rockstar in it! As other reviews have noted, it's super long, and even with 3 in heels I was lifting it up a lot. That definitely did not spoil the fun though. I am not one who would typically spend $200 on a rental, but this one is totally worth the splurge. I wore it on a dinner cruise. I would suggest it for any formal affair or just any time you want to make a statement :).

Dress is much more gorgeous in person than in photos!!
Rented this last minute for a Christmas party at my work. I didn't have high hopes because it's not my typical color scheme/look, but it was totally on the mark! My husband loved it, and I got some pretty awesome compliments :). Material is on the thick side, so perfect for the winter season. I am pretty petite, and it fit me perfectly. It has that understated look, but the gold threads and the uneven bottom really make the dress.

Best earrings -- they go with everything!!
These earrings were amazing! I rented a bunch of outfits over July 4 weekend, and these earrings went with everything . They were definitely on the heavy side, but so worth it! As a lover of turquoise and particularly genuine-looking turquoise (I love those little grainy lines!!), I was very happy with these. They definitely add that extra touch to an outfit, and draw attention to the eyes.

This is a rockstar dress!!
It is simple and understated but SO cute. It's not scuba-diving gear body-hugging tight like some dresses (read: that's not necessarily a bad thing!), but it does a great job of clinging in the right places and I found it very flattering. It was perfect and exceeded my expectations.

Girls my size -- do NOT get a 2!
The 2 in this dress did not fit me whatsoever, so if you're my size don't bother getting the 2 as a backup. It's not RTR's fault whatsoever BTW-- I rented a 0 in this dress with a 2 as a backup, and RTR wasn't able to get me the 0 because it had been damaged or not received on time -- which was perfectly fine because I got an aaaamazing replacement -- but they sent me the 2 anyway, which was a nice touch, but it was way too big in the top and even my VS strapless couldn't help things.

Amazing, perfect dress for a party/event!!
I fell in love with this dress -- it is perfect for a birthday or any semi-formal occasion. I wore it to a birthday dinner with my fiance and my dad. The back is drop-dead gorgeous, but the length gives it a very classy vibe and makes it appropriate for events involving family. You can't wear any sort of normal bra with this, but no bra is necessary because the material is thick enough to provide coverage. The dress is very comfortable and has a bit of a stretch. It definitely has a dressy feel -- I wanted to wear it to brunch the next day (I basically wanted to wear it nonstop), but it's a bit too formal. I paired it with the Kendra Scott Turq Deily Earrings, which were AWESOME! as well and contrasted very nicely with the color of the dress.
