Cute look for my friend's birthday
This was a backup look that RTR sent when my first choice for my birthday was not available. I was little bit skeptical because jumpsuits either fit me or they don't since I'm short and have a booty. This one got more comfortable throughout the night as it stretched a bit, but it was tight through the hips for the first couple of hours I was wearing it. Surprisingly, the length was perfect with 3 inch heels and the top fit nicely. The color is gorgeous.

Surprised my best friend for Galentine's Day - perfectly festive!
When I decided to fly to Dallas to surprise my best friend for Galentine's Day and take her wedding dress shopping, I knew I had to be appropriately festive so a red glitter skirt seemed perfect. It fits high on your natural waist so it would look great with a crop top though I wore it with a slim cut black sweater since it was chilly that day. It was a little tight after we had brunch so if you're planning on eating a lot, I would recommend a size up!

It literally goes with everything!
I had been wanting to rent this bag for awhile, but was waiting for my number to come up on Unlimited. When it finally did, this was the first item on my list. This bag is large enough to hold everything you need without being too big and cumbersome. The light pink/nude leather matches everything. I was sad to send it back.

Love this dress!
I am so in love with this dress - I might have to buy it. The fabric was not what I was expecting - I was expecting chiffon, but it was heavier which was nice for a winter dress. It fit true to size and was really comfortable. My one complaint is that the lining peaked out at the bottom because I think the top fabric had shrunk a bit when it was previously washed.

Comfortable and cute!
I ordered this dress as part of my Unlimited subscription so the fact that it was too big didn't really bother me too much since I can just return it at any point. I tried it on and it was really baggy in both the top and the bottom. I ended up wearing it for Sunday Funday and it was nice to walk around the French Quarter. I never felt under-dressed or over-dressed no matter where we stopped in for a drink. Next time I would rent the XS though.

This dress fits great! Its so comfortable as well. I wore it for a holiday fundraiser that I had organized and I felt like I could run around and enjoy myself in such a fun dress - would definitely rent again!

The material is like liquid gold! I wish I could have worn it!
This dress would have been perfect for the Black and Gold Gala I rented it for, but unfortunately the hole where the ribbon was supposed to go through was sewn shut. I tried so many ways to make it work and nothing looked quite right. I was so disappointed I couldn't wear this beautiful dress!

The dress was so pretty! I'm sad I couldn't wear it
This definitely runs small! I couldn't even get into the 4, which was so sad because the texture of the dress and the color red were so pretty. Maybe I'll rent another another time in a 6...

Finally! I can wear backless dresses again!
The fit is a bit large. I ordered the B, but probably should have ordered the A so that the tape wasn't wrapping all the way around me. The sticky works great - just have to make sure you wash and air dry after each use or you'll lose the sticky too soon!
Beautiful - would be great for more formal occasion
The metal was a bit tight on my wrist and I didn't want to break it so I just barely got it around. The crystals don't look as pretty as in the picture, but from faraway you can't really tell I don't think. I didn't end up wearing to my event because it felt a bit too formal for a Sunday wandering around town, but if I had had a dinner date or something, this bracelet would have been great!

I felt the perfect mix of vintage, classic, and comfortable on a hot day!
After reading the reviews, I got a size down for my extra size, but the 2 would not zip at all, so I wore the 4. It fit fine until we ate - after dinner, I felt like the ribbon on the waist of the dress, which has very little give, was cutting into my stomach. So as long as you don't plan on any large meals while wearing this dress it will be just adorable! The only other thing (which I believe other reviewers have mentioned) is that the straps were a bit on the large side. I ended up wearing a strapless bra even though a regular bra (in theory) would not have shown.This minimized the annoying pulling straps to and fro to make the dress fit properly throughout the day.

I requested Art Deco, and RTR delivered!
The earrings are a lot more beautiful in person compared to online - they are very sparkly. Also, while they are big, they aren't heavy at all. Just right!

Walking into work wearing a designer dress!
I had a free rental, but it had to be in the middle of the week so I rented this dress thinking I could easily wear it to work - not so easily. It was made for parties! I ended up putting a french blue collared shirt underneath it and putting a brown belt underneath to make it more casual. It was a hit and my boss couldn't believe I was wearing Halston Heritage to work (for free!). Ended up making it work and loved it. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture because no one takes pictures at work... next time. The 6 is very form fitting - I think the 4 would have been too snug. That said, the fabric is stretchy, despite being kind of heavy - not really meant for New Orleans humidity, but perfect for a crisp Fall day.

So perfect for the Great Gatsby party I hosted!
I rented the 4R, which fit like a glove. The length is on the longer side - I did wear the dress with 3 inch heels, but it still skims the floor so I had to lift the dress to walk, which I'm used to. If you're 5'5" wearing 3" heels, it will be the perfect length for you. The color is beautiful. I've never worn this color before and it looks beautiful on. The bust area is really interesting though I'm definitely needed some fashion tape to hold it down around my chest and slouching of any kind is also not an option. I also went braless, but wore petals. Everyone loved the dress - and I loved telling everyone it was rented! Thanks RTR!

"Of course you'd be wearing Kate Spade!" from a childhood friend I hadn't seen in ages.
The 4 fit very well - almost perfect - I could have used a little less fabric in the bodice, but I'm used to that. The fabric was amazing, very rich looking. I felt so glamorous even though it was a day wedding! I paired with my own belt because my shoes were gold and black suede and matched better than the little leather bow belt the dress came with (which was very cute - I just didn't have shoes that matched). I got so many compliments and per usual, did not want to return this dress on Monday...

This dress was so wonderful and perfect for my mom's casual wedding.
The fit was true to size - my only issue was that it was a bit longer on me than it would be on someone with longer legs.. The yellow was very vibrant, but not so much that it wasn't wearable. I usually shy away from yellow, but I loved this dress the minute I saw it online. Thanks again RTR! (Note: the woman I pictured with was a bridesmaid... it was a pirate wedding).

I think I convinced like 5 people that night that RTR was the best ever and they should sign up.
In the last several years since I moved to New Orleans, I've attended a lot of Mardi Gras balls, and every year, I would go through the hassle of either making a new dress or buying one. This year, I didn't have to worry about any of that. I just ordered this beautiful dress and let RTR worry about the rest. It was fantastic. RTR just made everything so easy. The only part is that I wished I could keep the dress at the end. No one believed me when I told them I had rented the dress and that everything was taken care of (aka I didn't have to worry about spills or missing sequins etc). The dress fit wonderfully. I'm 5'4" and with heels the dress just touched the ground. The top fit perfectly with a pushup bra (I'm on the smaller side up top..). The sequins didn't rub my arms and I felt like a sparkly golden princess. I can't wait to rent again for my mom's wedding in May!
