So comfy
This is a great dress. I rented it for a cocktail party. Comfortable, flattering, and cool enough for an outdoor event on a very warm day. I was bummed though because the reviews are correct it it runs big and at the last minute my smaller size wasn't available. I wore it anyway and my husband loved it. But I really wish I'd had the smaller one! RTR has great customer service, though, sending me a second dress and issuing me a credit since the dress also arrived late! I love RTR!

One of my favorite rentals
I LOVE this gown. It's so beautiful in person and fit me perfectly. I ended up getting it as a back up dress and could not have been more pleased. It is a nice twist on a black dress - I never felt like I blended in with the rest of the back dresses at the event. I did need some fashion tape on the neckline but otherwise it was hassle free. I would love to rent this again.

Loved the fabric
Wore this to a black tie event with a strangely casual theme. Fit and length were perfect for me. I don't have one complaint. It might be tight in the chest if you are well endowed, as there is no give to the dress. The fabric is beautiful - luxurious with beautiful colors. This dress is much prettier in person. I got compliments all night and would definitely rent again.

I wore these with a rose gold dress. They were perfect - the shape, the length and the color. Would definitely rent again.

All the rose gold
I love sequins and I love rose gold. This dress fits the bill. It had a strange fit though. I thought the 8 was snug in places but the 10 was too big. I went with the 8 after a lot of deliberating and was pretty happy with that. I had some rubbing from the sequins under my arms but not awful. The waist was snug but all in all looked decent in pictures. I probably wouldn't rent it again, but it was fun and perfect for my event.

Stunning
This dress made me feel like a million bucks. Sparkly, form fitting and comfortable all in one. I'm a sucker for a one shouldered dress and this did not disappoint. Would definitely rent again!!

Adorable and different
This dress is very comfy and cute. The scalloped neckline and arm holes really stand out. It is a bit on the heavy side and doesn't breathe particularly well but I hardly noticed. My only complaint is that it's stretchy and my bra was showing in the corner next to my arm in almost every picture. I simply didn't notice!!

This is an event stopper
I was really hesitiant to rent a patterned gown. I am SO glad I did!!! It was beautiful and one of a kind. I got compliments all night long and felt beautiful. The criss cross back was sexy without being too revealing. And pockets win every time!! Rent this gown!

Gorgeous
I loved this gown. I'm a sucker for one-shouldered gowns anyway and this did not disappoint. Beautiful aqua color, unlike anything else at my event. And it hugged every curve perfectly. With a little stretch it was perfect for sitting and dancing all night. I got tons of compliments all night long. Would definitely rent again.

Love the color
I didn't wear this, despite the great color. It was underwheming on me. It fit me kind of weird and was cut to show more skin than I wanted. Disappointed but RTR customer service delivered another gown that I could wear.

Comfy and sexy
I loved this rental. The material is rich and heavy but comfy with enough stretch that I could breathe. It hugged all of the right places and made me feel beautiful. I used a little fashion tape on the neckline to keep everything in place. This is a beautiful gown with a bit of old Hollywood glam. I would definitely rent it again.

Fantastic color
I wore this to an annual event and got a ton of compliments on the color. It was comfy and I like the way it flowed. The sizing was a little strange for me. The 8 was just a tad too small and I felt like the 10 was a tad too big. But overall, a great rental!

Saving this one for another event
This came as a back up courtesy of RTR's amazing customer service. I didn't wear it, but I will. It's a brilliant true purple color. Pretty simple sheath - would definitely need a shaper. It will definitely turn heads. Filing it away for the future!

Form fitting
Beautiful gown - I loved the vibrant blue color and the lace. It was definitley form fitting. The 10 was too big (and too long) and the 8 fit like a glove, albeit a snug one! It has some stretch to it though which meant I pulled it off ok. I wasn't a huge fan of the shape of the straps but it wasn't a deal breaker. This gown has been worn a fair bit and showed some wear.

Sparkly and sexy
I love this dress. I've been eyeing it for about a year and finally attended the perfect event for it. I was surprised how much of a mermaid gown it was - quite tight through the hips and backside but worth it. It was fairly stretchy which made it easy to wear, despite the clingyness. A little scratchy under the arms at times, but nothing I couldn't handle. High neck, so no need for jewelry. I would definitely rent this one again.

SO FEMININE AND FUN!
I WORE THIS FOR AN OUTDOOR GALA WITH A DRESS CODE LABELED "CASUAL ELEGANCE". THIS DRESS MORE THAN FIT THE BILL. I GOT COMPLIMENTS ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I'M NOT USUALLY A RUFFLE GIRL, BUT ON THIS DRESS, THEY WERE PERFECT. THE DRESS ITSELF IS BEAUTIFULLY LINED BUT I HAD TO WEAR A SHAPER BECAUSE WITHOUT IT WAS A TAD TOO TIGHT IN THE RIBCAGE. I CONFESS I COULDN'T QUITE FIGURE OUT HOW THE BELT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO AND IN THE END JUST DID THE BEST I COULD! THIS WAS ALSO A REPLACEMENT DRESS AFTER MY FIRST RENTAL DID NOT FIT. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM RTR - I RECEIVED THE DRESS IN PLENTY OF TIME FOR MY EVENT. I WOULD RENT THIS ONE AGAIN FOR SURE!

BEAUTIFUL SPRING DRESS
I RENTED THIS FOR MY DAUGHTER'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION CEREMONY. I LOVED THE COLOR OUT OF THE BOX - SO SPRINGY AND FUN! THE LACE WAS JUST RIGHT, TOO - NOT OVERDONE, BUT DRESSY AND PRETTY. THE FIT WAS A LITTLE OFF FOR ME - THE 8 WAS TOO TIGHT IN THE RIBCAGE AND THE 10 WAS BIG UNDER THE ARMS AND THROUGH THE HIPS. I WORE THE 10 WHICH MEANT I WAS COMFORTABLE ALL AFTERNOON.

You can't go wrong with a little sparkle - and I got compliments on the dress ALL night long!
Overall this dress worked for my event. I was initially disappointed by the color, thinking it would be more of a true pink. It was sort of dusty rose-ish. But once I added the gold accessories, I was good with it. It does run short. I'm 5'5" and a 1.5 inch heel was too much so I wore flats. The sequins did rub a bit under my arms, but nothing major. I bought a bra extender to make my bra work with a low back dress and it was perfect. You could probably go without a bra if you're comfortable with that. I was hoping this dress would "wow" me a little more than it did, but it seemed to "wow" others! Great experience with RTR, I will definitely be renting again!

Wore for a holiday ball and loved hearing "you sparkle!" What girl doesn't want to sparkle!!
I ordered this dress because the reviews said it ran true to size. I was disappointed I couldn't get the back up in a 12 - as that's what the sizing notes suggest. So I got an 8, thinking "yeah right". I was so glad I did, as the 10 was much too long for me and the 8 fit perfectly (although still a little long). It is such a beautiful, classy gown but comfy and forgiving at the same time. I did not need shapewear underneath, although I did choose to wear a bra - my issue, but I probably didn't need to. I loved my experience with RTR and will definitely rent again. Thanks so much for making me feel like the belle of the ball!
