Beautiful, Striking Green Dress
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding and received so many compliments. Up close, it contains green, bright blue and beige, so you can have fun adding accessories in complementary colors. This dress seemed to have a magical design: it fit me loosely (so it was comfortable) yet at the same time, it looked fitted when worn. Kudos to this designer: Saloni. I ordered an 8 and a 10, and both fit me perfectly. I chose to wear the 10 to be sure I would feel comfortable sitting, dancing, driving etc. I highly recommend this striking dress.

More Beautiful in Person---But Size Runs Very Small
I was delighted to find this dress even more stunning in person than in the pictures. The sparkles really contrast with the dark purple fabric. BUT----I could not wear this lovely dress. I ordered "M" and usually wear any size "M" easily. This one felt like an "XS" when I tried it on. There was no way I could zip it---way too tight. So order up at least 1-2 sizes if you rent it.

Cool, Artsy & Heavy-Weight
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner when the weather was cold, so the heavy-weight fabric and long sleeves were welcome. I don't recommend this dress in warm, weather, however. You will be too hot. It has a cool, artsy vibe and dramatic color scheme. I really liked it and received many compliments. Medium fit me well, and I am usually size 8-10.

Too tent like
Received this dress as a last-minute replacement option. The fabric is beautiful. Sadly, it is way too tent-like, so I looked huge in it (I’m normally an 8-10 and I even got the S, but it was way too much fabric.). I didn’t wear it (but appreciated the free replacement when my main rental did not fit)

Not good for hourglass shapes
Received this dress as a last-minute replacement option. The fabric is beautiful. Sadly, it has flaps at the hips which jutted out and made me look too wide/fat. I didn’t wear it (but appreciated the free replacement when my main rental did not fit)

Too long and no way to pin it up
I had hoped to wear this dress to a black tie wedding. The UK 14 was a great fit for my usual size 8/10. However the dress was way too long. (And I’m 5’10“!). So, sadly, I didn’t wear it.

Fun and light white hoops
Loved these earrings and they provided a nice contrast to the deep green dress I rented. They are nice and lightweight.

Black Tie Wedding Winner
LOVED this dress which I wore to a black tie wedding. I’m normally an 8, but this dress is pretty fitted, so I went with the 10 and was very comfortable and able to sit down etc with ease. The jeweled green color was so pretty and I wore white hoop earrings which were a nice contrast (earrings also rented).

The Perfect “Miami Chic” dress
I wasn’t sure about this bold, one-shouldered dress, but it totally exceeded my expectations, fit perfectly, and flowed beautifully when walking. My husband said it looked so cool when I walked, because the way it is cut—the skirt has a nice flourish. I wore it to a Miami wedding on a beautiful day. It was the perfect rental for the occasion.

Beautiful dress, but not for curvy figures
This is a beautiful dress, but I could not wear it as it made me look pregnant. The skirt clings to your curves, so it did not look good in the abdomen area on me.

Fun shades of purple and asymmetric hem make a nice party dress
I am usually a 6/8 and wore size 8 in this dress. The backup 6 was way to tight/small on me. The little snap in the front was key, or it would not have fit well/would have constantly popped open. The little purple buttons at the waist were a nice detail. I received many compliments on the color and paired it with green drop earrings. Overall, very happy and I would rent / buy this dress again.

Great fit with just enough sparkle
Loved wearing this dress to a formal party in New York City. No need for a bra since the dress has one built in. I usually wear 6/8 and wore this dress in a 6. It fit nice and snug around the chest where you want it snug. Perfectly comfortable and flowy on the bottom.

Unique, Statement Dress
I LOVED wearing this dress. I wore it to a "creative black tie" gala for an art museum. It was the perfect dress to rent (and wear 1x) rather than own since it is so distinctive and memorable. As others have mentioned, it is form-fitting, especially at the hips. I simply pulled it up a few inches when I sat down and it felt comfortable, not constricting. I usually wear size 6/8. This dress was great for me in size 8R. Many complements were had. I highly recommend this dress.

Fun, bohemian-style dress
I wore this to a formal rehearsal dinner over a wedding weekend. Received many compliments. The colors are striking and the fabric is definitely 'bohemian' (it looks a bit 'batiqued' up close). It fell just below the knee on me (I am 5'10"). I was happy to have rented this dress, because if I were to 'repeat' wear it, I think folks would remember it. It was great with black patent sandals.

Stand-out / statement cocktail dress
I really enjoyed wearing this dress to a formal summer wedding. The colors and lace overlay are striking. I normally wear a 6/8 and wore the 6. I probably could have comfortably worn a 4 too. As others have mentioned, the bust is surprisingly roomy. I wore a strapless bra low and found if I pulled the dress down, the bust area stayed in place. I was comfortable enough to dance in it all night. Received many compliments. Loved it with a nude sandal and white drop earrings. This dress is so distinctive, it was great to be able to rent it. If I owned it, people would definitely recognize it if I were to 'repeat' wear it. So RTR was perfect!

Nice for a formal wedding
I loved these earrings. Nice quality (not cheap looking). They are clip earrings and I found they pinched my ears a bit (I did not notice if the website disclosed they were clip). They arrived missing one of the silicone discs, so one, especially, hurt my earlobe. But if RTR fixes that problem, I'd recommend these.

Perfect 'diamond' cuff
I loved this bracelet. It is not expensive, but looked great for a formal affair. The rhinestones are small and subtle, so it's not a flashy piece. Just the perfect, elegant addition to an embellished dress.
