Great dress for a Great Gatsby party!
I rented this dress for a 1920's holiday party, and it was perfect! I usually wear a 6R, but the 8R fit well. It puckered a little bit at the back, but not enough for it to be problem. The zipper was a little hard to get down, as it was getting stuck in the lace. The green of the dress was perfect for the holidays. The peek-a-boo sleeves of the dress covered the worse parts of my arms. I did have to wear a strapless bra, as the straps of a regular bar did show through the lace. The length of the dress was much longer than what the photo of the model showed, but it worked well with my shorter heels. I got tons of compliments on the dress. It was a perfect dress for a 1920's party!

This is my new favorite RTR dress by far!
This dress fits a little large (I wore a 4R and usually wear a 6R) and is forgiving for those of us who are older and who have had children (read that-hides the tummy). The top of the dress is made of a heavier kind of jersey fabric, so it is very forgiving and really comfortable. You can wear a regular bra with this dress. The skirt part of the dress is a beautiful green. Perfect for the holidays. For a 5'4" gal, the back of the dress hits the floor, which makes for a dramatic entry without worrying about tripping because the front of the dress is well off the floor and hit at a flattering height. No need for Spanx with this dress! The best part, it has pockets! I will absolutely be renting this dress again!

Beautiful
I did not wind up wearing these because they went better with my first dress (which I did not wear) than my second choice dress (which I did wear). They are beautiful, and I will definitely rent them again.

Very comfortable dress!
This dress was my back-up dress, and I am so glad I ordered it. It was very comfortable. The fabric is thick (but not too thick) and the color is a beautiful blue/green color that went great with my red hair. The dress has pockets, which were awesome, because we were at an auction where all the items were on a mobile app, so I kept my phone in my pocket all night. I would definitely rent this dress again. I wish I would have gotten a photo!

Not for bigger chested girls!
This was my first choice dress, but I did not wear it, because it did not fit well across the chest. I usually wear a 4 or 6, and I am a 32D. The neckline and arm areas are awkward. They were way too tight and made my armpits look horrible. The rest of the dress fit well. The color and fabric are beautiful. I was bummed I could not wear the dress. Thank goodness for my back-up dress!

Beautiful blue dress
This dress was actually my second choice dress, but it turned into my first choice dress once I saw it. It fits true to size and, with 4 inch heels, was just the right height. The zipper was a little hard to zip up, and I really could not have done it by myself. The back is pretty, and even though it looks open, I was able to wear a regular bra with this dress. I will say the sequins bothered my skin under my arms a little bit, but it was nothing horrible. I got tons of compliments and would highly recommend this dress!

Way more pink than shown
This was my first choice dress, and I am so glad that I added a second choice dress to my order last minute. I liked this dress, and it fit pretty true to size. But, I did not wear it because I needed a dress for a holiday party, and this dress seemed to be more of a warm weather dress because of its light weight and pinkish color.

Perfect for the holidays!
I LOVED this dress! I ordered the 6R and the 8R. The 6 fit perfectly with 4 inch heels, and I never even tried on the 8. I received so many compliments on this dress. The green sequins were perfect for a holiday party. The dress was very comfortable. It is a well-made, substantial dress with some weight. I was able to wear a regular bra with it, which was a bonus! I did have a black shrug that I wore over it, because I am always cold. I am definitely renting this dress again. Oh, and I love the new RTR shipping bags!

Lovely Dress
I wish I had a chance to wear this beautiful dress. It was my back up dress, and I chose to wear my first choice dress. I chose the other dress because this one was a little long, even with 4 inch heels on. It was wearable, but I still went with the other dress. Besides the length, the dress fit very well. There was no need for a special bra for this dress. I will definitely rent this dress again so that I can wear it!

Beautiful!
I loved this dress! I received so many compliments. I wore it to my husband's holiday party. It fit wonderfully. The only issue I had was that the top did kind of squish everything down. I don't know if it was the dress or the strapless bra I had on. The brocade fabric is heavy, which was perfect for the holidays. I would absolutely wear this dress again.

Lovely!
This necklace was beautiful! Unfortunately, I did not wear it, as it looked better with my first choice dress, which I did not wear. It did not go well with my back-up dress. Seemed a bit too much with the necklace, sequins on the dress, and large earrings. I would definitely rent this again.

Beautiful dress
This dress was my first choice dress, but I wound up wearing my back-up dress. The 4L fit well with Spanx on-read that a little tight but breathable, but the black slip underneath was about 3 inches longer than the dress. I would have tripped on it all night. If it was the only dress I had, I would have worn it, but I loved my back-up dress, so it all worked out. The 6L was a bit big on top, and it had a split seam in the front, so it was unwearable. The dresses should be checked before being sent out.

I wore these earrings with the Nicole Miller Midnight Sequin Stars Gown. They went well with the dress. When I put them on, I thought they were going to be too heavy for the night, but they were not. I would definitely rent them again.

Perfect fit!
This dress was actually my back-up dress, but I loved it so much, I decided to wear it.The 6R was a perfect fit. With 4 inch heels, the bottom just brushed the floor. The small capped sleeves just covered the part of my upper arms that I don't like, so I did not have any problems taking the shrug off when the dancing began. No need for a special bra with this dress-a regular bra does not show. The front is a bit low, but it fit so well, it did not gap or open up to show too much. I received rave reviews from so many at the party! I loved this dress and was sad to send it back!! I love RTR!!

Wonderful dress!
I wore this dress for a formal holiday party. It was beautiful and very comfortable! I ordered the 6 and the 4. I decided to wear the 4, as it fit better. I wore it with 4 inch heels and the hem just hit the ground, so the length was perfect. The dress is form fitting but stretchy, so there is room to move. The end of the zipper, above my waist, bunched up during the night, and I did have to keep pulling it down, but I don't know if that is my body or the dress... I would recommend possibly getting the insurance for this dress, as I was very worried my heel would go through the lace and rip it. I had tons of compliments with this dress. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Very feathery
I am not a fan of sleeveless dresses, because I am always cold, so I rented this to keep me warm. I did not end up wearing, it because it was somewhat big and very feathery and in my face. I wore a smaller wrap that I already had a home. I would not rent this again.

Perfect for a formal evening.
These earrings were perfect for our formal holiday parties that we attended this season. Sizing and weight were just right. I did not know they were there all evening, so, to me, that makes them just right! I wore them with the Badgley Mischka Jewelry Crystal Cluster Necklace, and they made a perfect match.

This necklace was beautiful!
I wore this necklace with the Nicole Miller Black Open Back Sequin Gown and the Nicole Miller Such A Knockout Gown for two back to back holiday parties over the weekend, and it was perfect. Someone asked me where I got it and when I said I rented it, they thought I rented it from the jeweler! It was not too big or not too small, just right. I wore it with the Badgley Mischka Jewelry Falling Leaf Earrings.
