Right vibe, Right functional design
I had knee surgery right before the event I wore this for and the dress was cut perfectly to hide my bad knee and brace! The print was also perfect for the 90s theme. It was not the most flattering cut on me but given the circumstances, I was fine with that!

Large armholes!
I didn’t realized the armholes dipped so low, showing my bra. I made it work though. It wasn’t the most slimming style I’ve worn but it was fun and I got lots of compliments. Very comfortable. The buttons at the neck were tough to button so it’s a good thing I never needed to go to the restroom while at the event!

Awesome...but beware the zipper!
Dress was fabulous once I got it zipped. We struggled to zip both my actual size and the back up 2nd size at the point where the "belt" of ribbon was introduced. But once my original size was zipped, it was great. Built in cups offered enough support. Many compliments from total strangers!

Mother of the Bride Approved
I enjoyed the colors and fabric of this dress. I felt the style wasn't as flattering for my body type as I expected. I thought it would accentuate my waist but it didn't. And it was a bit tight to dance in. That said, the mother of the bride said the dress was stunning so I'll take that!

Holiday Party Sparkle
I've been eyeing this dress for a while and I loved wearing it! Very tight, almost wore the 6 back up size but opted for the 4. Zipper was TERRIBLE. Almost couldn't zip it despite fitting in it fine. The under slip showed throughout. Regardless received compliments and loved it!!

Work Holiday Party Wonderful!
Though I required help to zip the top of the dress due to the open back, the dress was VERY comfortable and flattering. I got tons of compliments and felt the dress was the right amount of fun while work appropriate. Loved the long sleeves!

Birthday dinner elegance
I loved the dress! It was difficult to zip up on my own. Sleeves have no give as other RTR reviewers have said. But it's flattering, comfortable and was great for a celebratory birthday dinner out! Wore a stick-on bra.

From Wedding to Wine
I rented this dress to do double duty - wedding reception and concert at a winery. This dress worked perfectly for both! I also saw a fellow concert-goer lean over to her friend and say, "I love her dress." I loved the look but didn't find the dress super comfortable hence the 3 star rating. Also the zipper pull came off when I was trying on the dress the night before. Still wore it!

Awards Night Awesome!
Our annual awards night was the day before Valentine's so I went with this great RTR dress. It is very stretchy and comfortable, even for dancing. I received tons of compliments. The best was out at a bar in Nashville after our event, a woman said the dress would be perfect for an upcoming wedding she was going to. She asked me where I got it and I told her, RTR!

Holiday Party Hit
This dress fit really well and was very comfortable! The skirt underneath rides up when you walk but that was the only complaint. I was able to wear a bra with it - no prob.

Holiday party hit!
I felt super glam in this dress and it went especially well with the sleek hair. Compliments all night from my coworkers at our holiday party. The 4 felt super tight at first but the 6 was too big on top. After trying on the 4 a few times, it was fine! So if it feels too tight for you initially, I would recommend trying again. No kick pleat in the back so stride size is limited.

Awards Night Amazing!
It's now a tradition that I RTR for my formal work events. Many people at our awards night asked me if my dress was RTR this year (of course I said yes). Received tons of compliments. Only drawbacks - regular was a bit short with the heels I brought so if you're 5'7" or taller and plan to wear heels maybe go for the Tall. Darts on the top are not in the best locations. Wore a stick on bra. Also wore a Slate and Willow necklace from RTR that worked great!

Holiday Party Hit!
Loved this dress. Very flattering. Had to wear a stick-on bra due to the open back. The lace definitely creates a tightness in the arms that other reviewers have commented on. The dress itself is incredibly comfortable. Very hard to hook all the hooks in the back (needed help) and they started to come undone on their own during the night so keep an eye on them! Color was gorgeous-- received tons of compliments and told everyone it was RTR!

Gala gorgeous!
I wore this dress for a black tie optional event. Loved the heavy fabric, high-low design and pockets. Received multiple compliments and may have convinced a friend to use RTR because of it. Only challenge: very hard to zip up - definitely needed my husband's help. After that, super comfy. No bra required.

Gala gorgeous!
In a sea of fun and formal gowns, including many RTR beauties, this dress stood out. I was excited to receive both my size and back up size with the tags still on! The dress was very comfortable. My only challenge was the length. I went with the long based on reviews and it was very long! I'm 5'7 and I wore very high heels and it was still a bit long. Aside from that, I felt chic and confident! Many compliments on the color and fit.

Award winning night!
I rented this dress for an awards banquet at work. I received tons of compliments all night! In terms of fit, both the 4 and 6 fit but I went with the smaller one do to the construction of the top. I went with a strapless stick on bra and it was perfect.

Sparkly and fun
The design of these earrings was really fun! This was my first time renting jewelry and I'm happy I did. As others have said, they were a bit hard to put on, but otherwise, great.

Modern, fun and sophisticated!
As others have said, this dress is incredibly tight but it's comfortable. The bra section is hard to button without assistance. And due to the stretchy fabric, the bandeau puckers at each button. All that said, I received compliments all night long and felt great!! I love RTR!

So nice, I wore it twice!
The SL felt a bit short in the waist but I wore this size and not my larger second size because it was less blousy. I wore it the first night for a dinner event and then the following night for a holiday party. It was very comfortable and I received lots of compliments. The model's picture shows a much deeper plunge at the neckline than reality (guessing the model has it unzipped partway). Only drawback, the fabric wrinkles easily and then holds the wrinkle. Other than that, great jumpsuit!

Straps were a bit long and the grosgrain belt was too wrinkly but I received compliments on the dress all night. Can't believe I didn't take a single pic!

"That dress looks amazing on you. You should wear it everyday!"
Fit was a bit loose (I'm 5'7" about 137 lbs) but it was fine with a stick on bra and some garment tape. I dressed it up with some jewelry and received great compliments. So glad RTR sent this dress when my original choice was damaged.
