Perfect dress for an unforgettable venue
Classy gown with a pop of color for a black tie wedding at the NYC public library. I wanted something a little different for this black tie wedding and I am so happy I went with this fuscia gown, which totally popped in a sea of black dresses. The rouching around the stomach was very flattering and the high neck kept it classy with the open back. I would definitely rent again in this color or the black. I wore little pasties and spanx for undergarments.

Perfect fit. Very flattering
Absolutely loved this dress! The rouching makes its very flattering around the midsection. I wore spanx to smooth everything out and I ended up wearing a convertible bra with the straps crisscrossed for more support. I usually am a 4 or 6 but ended up wearing the 4R for the upper half. The 6R was too baggy up top so the 4 just made me more comfortable with the coverage. It is pretty low cut but not too revealing unless you have a larger chest. It was very classy and a simple and elegant dress for a black tie optional wedding. I would definitely rent again!

Gorgeous dress just not for a wedding
This was my first choice for a wedding at the end of August. It's a beautiful, fun dress but I just wasn't loving the way it fit on me. The 4 fit perfectly but was just way too short to be appropriate for a wedding. I think if it was for a night out it would have been great but just not for a wedding. I tried the 6 thinking that it would help with the length but then the top was too loose and I was nervous it would be falling off my shoulders since the back is so open. Overall, I just wasn't super comfortable in either size. But the dress is beautiful and I would definitely consider it for a different event!

Gorgeous dress for end of summer wedding!
I rented this dress for a cocktail attire wedding in PA. It was perfect for the end of the summer. The colors were gorgeous and the fit was perfect. It was on the shorter size even for me being only 5'2 but not uncomfortable at all. Taller girls may have a problem. I got so many compliments during and after the wedding.

So classy and flattering!
I rented this gown for a black tie optional wedding in Greenwich, CT. I actually visited the showroom on 5th Ave in the city and tried this dress on or I don't think I would have rented it. It was definitely different from anything I've ever worn. I'm so happy I tried it on and ended up renting it. It was so flattering and made me look so tiny in the waist. I usually wear a 4 and the 4 fit perfectly but the length was a little long even with 4" heels so I opted for the 2 which I was comfortable in and the length was much better. I did wear spanx just to make myself feel better. Overall, I got so many compliments and loved the dress!

so glam!
This was my "stylist surprise" when I rented a dress for a wedding. They looked great with the high-neckline dress and added the perfect amount of glam without being over the top! Great surprise gift from RTR!

Gorgeous Dress!
My boyfriend and I have monthly weddings from August until December so RTR is the only realistic choice but it really is the best! I wore this dress for a September wedding and it was a huge hit! The color was perfect for early fall. It's definitely true to size. I usually wore a 4 and it fit perfectly. The waist pinches in at the perfect spot to cinch in your waist. It's not as frilly as the model's photo shows which I was happy about. The back is definitely the best part! The high neckline keeps it classy and the open back is a nice surprise. I also did the Stylist's choice as a surprise and they sent the perfect earrings to pair with the dress! Another successful RTR experience!

so easy and i got to wear designer items without the buyer's guilt!
I rented this for a CT July Wedding on the water. It was perfect and so comfortable. I was worried I would get lost in the fabric but it was just the right amount of flowy-ness to cover up any of the bloat you may develop from the fabulous cocktails and finger foods! I ended up wearing the XS just because of the length and there was a small pen mark on the S. I rented the Lilly Pulitzer clutch and Lee Angel necklace. I cant wait to rent for the next wedding coming up!
