Liked it so much I bought it!
I originally rented this dress for my bachelorette party as an option for our various activities and I liked it SO MUCH! It's comfortable with all the smocking (lots of give) and while it's pretty short, it's a little longer in the back so you won't be worried about accidentally showing anything off.

Fun and versatile
I wore this skirt for dinner/drinks on my birthday (as my free PRO bday rental) and got lots of compliments). I am usually between a 2 and 4 depending on the style and brand. They both fit but the 2 hugged my waist a little more snugly so I liked that look better. I wore with a white tank-top body suit, summery block heels and a rattan bag--so cute!

Beautiful color and flowy skirt
Gorgeous color and I got lots of compliments. I wore it out to dinner with wedges and to work with flat sandals, so it can be dressy, professional al or casual. I rented this as an add on to my birthday item but wish I had been able to get a backup size. I ended up crossing the toe in front to tie it in the back (rather than a knot in the front) because it was so loose on my waist. The result was super cute but clearly not how it was meant to be worn. It runs large, so definitely size down.

Flowy and beautiful dress
I got this as my birthday item and loved it! I wore it to an outside dinner with sandals could have easily dressed it up with heels and a jacket. The dress does run large though so definitely size down. I am usually a 4 so I got a 2 as my backup but even that was loose. This dress probably works great for those with a larger bust.

VERY weird fit...
The material is dreamy, but that's where the pros stop for this dress. The waist part of the dress was very loose so this might work better for straight/athletic body types, as my narrow waist was too small to fill it out. The tie was also going to show an uncomfortable amount of underboob. I have a fairly long torso so I can't imagine how this would fit on a shorter lady. Unfortunately, I could not wear this one and sent it back unworn. I wanted to love it because the material was very soft and comfortable, but the fit was unwearable.

Adorable comfy crop
I LOVED this shirt. I was worried that the small would be too small based on the other reviews, but I'm not sure what they were talking about. It's a slightly cropped shirt (came just to the top of my high-rise Levi's) and was very cute with black pants. I didn't get a photo, but I wore it to a birthday brunch with my friends and got lots of compliments.

I LOVED this dress, and definitely stood out
The dress was true to size, very comfortable. Not form-fitting at all, even for someone with a pear shaped/hippy situation (which I was worried about). I could have worn either size 2 or 4 but went with the 4 as the length was slightly more. I rented this for a Gatsby/1920's party along with the UNREAL FUR IVORY CAMILLE FAUX FUR CAPE. The entire outfit was a HIT and so much fun to wear. I didn't get a great photo of the whole ensemble, sorry! But I highly recommend :)

Soft, lux and so much fun.
This wrap was so luxurious and very comfortable. The wrap did not have a collar, which I liked better. It had a couple clasps in the front that caused the wrap to fit a little bit weird so I ended up just wearing it open. I rented this for a Gatsby/1920's party along with the DRAPER JAMES COLLECTION GOLD SEQUIN DRESS. The entire outfit was a HIT and so much fun to wear.

So pretty, felt like a classy Belle
This dress was so beautiful in person. The fabric feels heavy on the hanger but the structure of the fitted bodice kept the dress from feeling as if it would slip at all. This was actually a backup dress that RTR sent because one of the sizes from my original order wasn't available. I had a hard time choosing but ended up going with the other one. I'll definitely keep this on my list for future events though because I loved it.

So many compliments, fits a pear/curvy shape, runs small
I LOVED this dress. It was sophisticated and fun to wear for a Derby party at a charitable fundraiser event. It was comfortable, the material is structured but still has a little give. I originally ordered two sizes but the smaller one wasn't available and I ended up only getting the 6. For reference, I usually am a 4 but sometimes a 2 if the hip isn't fitted. I didn't have a 4 or 2 to try on this time but the 6 fit almost perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised with the fit as sometimes shift/straight dresses don't fit my booty but it fit well! I got lots of compliments.

Usual Size: 4

Feminine, flirty and conservative
This skirt was SO CUTE! Very pretty - could be casual or dressed up. I wore this for a day of wine tasting and it was super comfortable and fun to wear, plus it was long enough that I didn't have to worry about my tispy self showing anything unintended, ha! I love the pleats and pretty polka dots. The base material is a very light peachy-pink (not white like I thought from the photo) so a white shirt is a bit of a contrast. I followed the advice of everybody and ordered up a size but I wish I hadn't. I am usually a 4, but I have a narrow waist so often times a 2 works better for me. I wish I had sized down as I normally do because the 4 was actually a little loose. At 5'7", this was almost ankle length so I think the 2 might have been more tea-length for me as well. Choose your normal size, don't size up!

Beautiful, feminine, perfect for as spring wedding
I loved this dress! I'm glad I sized down because with my narrow waist, the small would have been too big. The waist band is stretchy and could accommodate plenty of room for eating and drinking (which is all the fun of a wedding!). It was beautiful, a little darker than I thought it would be based on the photo. The midi length was very flattering and I felt pretty and girly all night. The pleats gave it a bit of sophistication and the bow detail on the shoulders was SO pretty! I did need to use some fashion tape at the bust though because it kept slipping open. Not sure if that's because of my body shape or the dress, but have some handy just in case.

Super cute, light weight for sore ears
So, confession I didn't even wear these but I love them! I totally forgot they were in my bag and went to the wedding with some other earrings I already have. When I went return the dresses, I saw the box and wanted to kick myself! I tried them on and they're very comfortable. Light-weight which is really important to me as I have sensitive ears (one was torn once and now I can't wear heavy earrings). Would recommend, especially if you're putting your hair up, for a subtle sparkle.

Fun to dance in, sophisticated and classy
Because I waited until the last minute to rent, only the XS was available. I'm usually a small/4 but sometimes I can get away with smaller since I have a longer, narrower torso. Luckily, the dress runs small so it fit perfectly! I would definitely say size down in this dress. It's basically a classy sweater dress, so keep that in mind - you might get hot if you're in a packed party or dancing a lot. I received tons of compliments, like i always do with RTR. FYI - I wore this to a corporate all-employee party.

I love these earrings so much I'm going to buy them. They're small enough for every day, but were the perfect compliment to the KATE SPADE CLINK OF ICE DOUBLE STRAND NECKLACE that I rented them with. They were a perfect balance to the statement necklace.

I LOVED this necklace. I wore it with a dress I already had from Asos and it looked great. My dress was a pale purple lilac color and the pale pink stones sat perfectly around my neck. Of course, as with every RTR rental, I received compliments on my look.

Very cute and flashy. Comfortable to wear.
I received this in my Mystery Bling for an order and it went PERFECTLY with the dress. It was also very lightweight and easy to wear. I did need some help clasping it though. I wouldn't recommend wearing it with anything that could snag or run easily, but the dress I borrowed was sturdy fabric so it was great.

Adorable, fun, girly without being pink or sparkly
I got this dress as my free birthday rental with PRO. I absolutely LOVED it! I wish I had gotten the zero though because even the two was quite loose in the rib cage area for me. I have a classic pear shaped body (small torso/upper and larger hips) so I can usually go a size down in dresses that are fit and flare. For this one, I should have gone down TWO sizes. It gave me plenty of room to wine taste and eat all day though. It was a lot of fun to wear and made my birthday extra special.

Elegant and understated
I received this dress when the original one that I wanted was not available. It was gorgeous, but I decided to go with the BCBGMaxazria Caia gown instead as it was more of a statement. I would wear this for a wedding, in a wedding, for a formal event... Anything. It was comfortable with the ribbing in the torso so I felt secure - like I wouldn't have to be pulling it up all night. I may get this one for my next fancy event!

Felt beautiful all night, got so many compliments. Fitted and flowy.
This dress was a HIT! I originally rented the 2R (which I knew fit perfectly because I tried it on in the SF showroom), but due to a shipping/damage error I was not able to get that one. Fortunately, they still had the 4L for me and sent that along with another dress. I tried on both dresses and though this one was slightly loose, it suspect it helped to make it easier for me to eat and drink all night. I received so many compliments from men and women alike, and I felt pretty. The dress is very long though, I had to wear high stilletto heels so take that into consideration when ordering. I'm 5' 7" and with 5" heels it was still long. The torso is fitted and lined so I didn't need to wear a bra. I have a narrow torso and wider hips so this was the perfect style dress for me. Though I would have liked the 2, the 4 worked just fine.

These earrings were BEAUTIFUL! I can't wear heavy earrings because I tore my ear one time and it never healed back quite right. I was nervous about these, but was able to wear them all night long without sore ears at all! To the point that I almost went to bed with them on, haha! Highly recommend.

Sophisticated but still sexy
I loved wearing this tuxedo dress more than I thought I would! I ordered it for a costume for Halloween weekend and it was so much fun to wear. I used it for two costumes: a gangster/mob girl and the Monopoly (wo)man! It was great for an outside party - I was warm but not too covered up. I wanted to take this dress and wear it out on the town for a fancy event. I got a lot of compliments and it felt great all night. I always fall between a two and a four depending on the cut of the garment. Because I have a narrow waist, the 2 fit me perfectly - I didn't even try on my backup size 4.

I want to buy this purse now!
I rented this small cross body bag for a trip to Disneyland and San Diego. It was the perfect size to hold snacks, sunscreen, lipgloss, my phone and credit cards. After using it all weekend I told my boyfriend to add it to my birthday wish list! I loved it so much, the size was small but big enough to hold the essentials and the envelope design added a fun element to a typical black bag. Love!

The earring were a gorgeous in person but too heavy
I love Kendra Scott jewelry, but even just trying on these earrings they were too heavy and I knew I would be unable to wear them for more than a few minutes without discomfort. I have sensitive ears though, so might not be the case for most girls.

This was so much fun, I loved getting a little surprise
I added the "Mystery Bling" to my order and was happy surprised to get some beautiful Kate Spade earrings that went with my dress. As with everything else I've borrowed from RTR, I wanted to keep them :)

Gorgeous, sparkley, perfect pop of color
I received these with the "Mystery Bling" option and couldn't have been happier. I wore them with the BCBG Blush Beverly Dress and the pop of color was nice. I wore my hair down, so the earrings just peaked out when I moved or danced. I loved getting a surprise, but I would choose these again. I wanted to keep them!

Fun and flirty dress, perfect for a wedding
I tried on the size 2 first and it was a little too short for me to feel comfortable wearing to a wedding. The 4 was a couple inches longer (maybe because it was also looser). I have a small torso so the bust was a little bit loose, but not so much so that it was uncomfortable. I wore this with no bra which was the best part! I will reiterate what most of the other girls mentioned: the dress isn't really a blush color - more of a rosey lavender/lilac. There is a purpleish tint to the dress. But this worked in my favor as I wasn't sure if the true blush color would match my skin tone.All in all, I received compliments all night. The only problem I had with the dress was the jewelry I tried to wear. I had a couple of open bangles that kept getting caught on the lace overlay. I just took them off and went with the earrings the RTR stylist sent. I requested "Mystery Bling" which was fun, and received a beautiful pair of teal and gold Kate Spade earrings that paired perfectly.

This dress was SO me and I felt gorgeous and girly all night - plus I got so many compliments!
I usually wear a 2 or 4 depending on the fit of the dress (I have a narrow torso). I'm glad I ordered a size down like so many of the other girls recommended. I could have even probably worn the 0, but it might have been too short. I wish I could have kept this dress. I wore it to a wedding and received compliments from all ages of women and men. It was fun to dance in, the fabric was soft (not at all scratchy with the tulle or lace), and just the slightest bit stretchy.
