Beautiful but a little bulky
This dress is super well made. The material is thick and holds you in on top. It fit really well and was perfect for an event where it was a little chilly. It made me look super small on top but wasn't tight on the tummy area. It was super comfortable but the material is really heavy and can be a little bulky. Overall, I liked it.

Cute not beautiful
This is a super sweet dress. I thought the white part would be more like tool and it was heavy cotton. It was a super cute dress and I received compliments on it, but it wasn't a showstopper.

Perfect mix of dressy with a hint of casua
I rented this for an ocean Conservancy gala. It has a little bit of a raw silk feel to the skirt which makes it just slightly casual which was perfect for this event. The top part is a little large, I have a C cup and the 2 was a little big in the bust and straps but not terribly and I didn't need fashion tape. The top was also a little more textured than I expected, but pretty. Got tons of compliments.

Stunner!
Beautiful dress. Runs true to size and the slit up the front plus the shape of the breast area give you just the right amount of sexy while continuing to be elegant and classy. Definitely best for a C cup. B would work too but anything too large may get vulgar. The long was perfect for me and I'm 5'9" and wore 4" heels. Absolutely beautiful, received comments all night and felt amazing!

The color and fit is amazing!
The color on this dress is fantastic! I received so many compliments from people this night as well as later from social media. The material is nice and thick and very supportive. It's a well made dress that is just really flattering on if you have an hour glass shape. I highly recommend!

Best jumpsuit ever!
I had been looking for an occasion to rent this jumpsuit and was excited to finally have one. Wore this to a formal casino night and it did not disappoint. It was better than I had hoped and my favorite rental ever. The material is nice and thick, it's really well made. It can be a little tight around the hips and butt if you are hourglass (which I am). I am on the small side of size 4 and it fit perfect. I recommend the long if you are over 5'7" and plan to wear heels. The length for me with 4" heels was perfect and I'm 5'9". People actually thought it was tailored for me and I thought about not returning it ;-) I will absolutely rent this again.

Whimsical dress for a black tie event
This was a great dress that got lots of compliments. I ended up pinning the liner up so you could see through to my legs. It was slightly itchy but I forgot about it once we reached the event. I would size down as a backup, I'm a standard 4 but wore the 2.

Perfect mix of hip and elegant!
This dress is very well made and fits exactly as you would expect/hope. I could have worn the 4 but opted for the 6 instead. The top has a bustier feel and was very comfortable but I never needed to pull it up. It was beautiful and hip and I received tons of compliments on the style. The little bit of sheer towards the bottom totally makes it! I will rent this again!

Elegant and conservative formal gown
This dress was perfect for a formal yet conservative business awards ceremony, it had the open back which added interest but the opening isn't low on the back so it's still very conservative. It's very snug, I am a size 4, but have hips and a butt, I did still wear spank underneath, but it isn't totally necessary. The open back did create a little room in the bust, I wouldn't suggest for someone with small boobs (I'm a small C). The fabric is also very heavy and looked a little heavy at the feet. Overall it was very pretty and I got lots of compliments.

Really small and oddly shaped
This is definitely a choker, I thought it would sit more on the collar bone. It is also not a circle (unless someone previous bent it), it leans to one side. I ended up wearing a necklace I already owned.

This dress is EVERYTHING!
This dress is amazing. It is sexy yet still classy. The length is one of the reasons. It hit just below the knee and I'm 5'8" it hugs perfectly creating a spanx type effect. The top was not as form fitting as the rest of the dress so it may gape if you have a really small chest. It was also really comfortable. The ombré really makes this dress stand out. The compliments for this dress were non-stop. I couldn't have loved it more!

Beautiful, unique and classy
This dress is beautiful, well made and comfortable. Runs true to size and flattering on all areas. I felt like the lace wasn't overly slimming on my arms, but I have thin arms so it was fine. I am 5'8" and the dress fell to the bottom of my knees. You can wear standard undergarments and I didn't need shape wear underneath as the fabric is nice and thick and it isn't cut to be overly tight.

The rental process could not have been easier. Everything is packaged perfectly.
The dress fits true to size, but is definitely better for someone tall. I'm 5'8" and it hit the top of my shin. Also the front doesn't show as much of the netting as you may think, it's very covered in the front. It was a great dress that was fun and different but it was something I wouldn't want to spend the money to own, which is why RTR is so great!
