Beautiful top
This is the second time I've rented this top. The quality is excellent and it's even prettier in person than in photos.

Amazing, comfortable jumpsuit
I LOVED wearing this. It was amazingly comfortable and really chic on. I'm 5'7" with a long torso and the 4 didn't ride up at all the way I was afraid it might. I'm bigger chested and I was still able to wear this without a bra - the material is thick and the black is good for camouflage. This does run a bit big - the 4 was roomy in my waist and the arm holes were a little open - someone less full chested might have been uncomfortable. I had a 2 as my backup size, but I couldn't get it unbuttoned to try it on. It probably depends on the garment itself, but I definitely needed help getting in and out of it because they're cloth-covered buttons with a small cloth loop. I would recommend ordering your regular size and then sizing down as your backup. The length was perfect also, grazed right at my ankle bone and it looked amazing with nude heels. When this goes on sale I'm definitely going to try to scoop one up - I LOVED it and got a ton of compliments. Thanks again, RTR

Great color and cut!
This dress fit beautifully and was a ton of fun to wear. I got so many compliments at both weddings I wore it to. The dress is made of a nice, sturdy material, so even though I'm full chested, it was fine that I couldn't wear a bra. The only negatives are small ones - the straps are thin and made of a sort of slippery material, so I had to re-tie the dress a couple of times throughout the night. Also, the lining has a strip of a thick sort of mesh at the bottom to keep it down, but also to give the dress some shape. It worked really well for both of those things, but the lining is short so when you sit, the mesh can be a bit uncomfortable. I also had to iron the bottom of the lining when the dress arrived because it was all puckered and kept flipping over. Not a big deal, but definitely necessary. I'm also tall (5'7") and the dress is longer on me that on the model - a true mid-calf length. It was so different and fun to wear - I definitely recommend it!

Fabulous fit - classic dress
This dress was so gorgeous in person! It's sleek and modern looking, and the cut outs are sexy without being over the top. I wore this for a family wedding and got a ton of compliments. I'm 5'7" and I found that the 4, while it fit great, was a bit shorter than I like. I ended up wearing the 6 because it was a little looser, so the bottom half of the dress hung a bit lower and gave me the little bit of extra length I wanted. I feel like either size in the Long size would have been too long, but if you're taller than 5'8" and plan to wear heels, I'd definitely go with a long size. I wish I owned this dress! I've rented from RTR a bunch of times, and while I've loved everything I've worn, this is the only dress id rent again.

Great for a night of dancing!
The fit was beautiful, but as others have mentioned, you definitely need to tape the front closed to avoid too much exposure. The material was lovely, and it was just the right blend of classy and sexy.

Beautiful color, perfect fit!
This dress was incredible - much lighter than I expected it to be. The color was stunning (I wore the blue) and perfect for a November wedding. I'm 5'7" and I wore 3" heels and the length of the dress was perfect. It was comfortable all night and I would definitely rent it again.

Incredibly beautiful - great fit!
This dress was SO beautiful - definitely as impressive in person as it looks in pictures. The dress is actually a lot lighter than I anticipated it being, making it really easy to wear. I'm 5'7" and with 3" heels the dress skimmed the floor. It was a tiny bit longer than I'd wear if it were my own, but the 4L was definitely the way to go, as I'm sure the regular would have been a bit short. I'm a tried and true size 4, though I sometimes find that the bust of a 4 is too small on me. In this case, it was actually a little large, and I wear a 34D. I planned on going without a bra - the top is thick, boned and well-strucured. However, I had to put one on to fill the gap between me and the dress. The only other thing to consider is that, because it's fitted through the hips and mid-thigh, if you're wider you're definitely going to have to unzip and take the dress down every time you go to the bathroom. I was able to shimmy it over my hips (thanks, Spanx), but if it had been even a little tighter I wouldn't have been able to do that. I wore a big statement bib necklace with it, which really made the dress look extra special. I'd totally wear it again to another event. I also picked out no fewer than 5 other RTR dresses at the black tie wedding I attended! Great experience, so easy to order and return, and will definitely be using the service again. Thanks, RTR!

Everything about this dress and rental was fabulous!
I ordered a small and medium - both fit great, but the straps were a bit long on the medium, so I would have had to wear a strapless bra. In the small, I could wear a regular bra, and though it was a bit shorter, it still came past my fingertips and didn't feel too short. It was SUPER comfortable, very easy to wear, and the service was fantastic. It was my first of what will be many rentals from RTR. No complains at all!
