Romantic, comfortable, beautiful dress! I wish I could keep it!!!
This was a back up dress that I decided to wear to a wine tasting getaway in Napa. I absolutely loved it. You could definitely dress it up with fancy heels and jewelry, but I opted to wear it more casual with some sandals. The material was light and breezy and felt substantial, totally didn't feel cheap. It was really soft and super comfortable. The way the slits are cut gives it a ethereal feeling and it flows so nicely when you're walking. The colors are perfect for spring and summer. Like I said, I wish I could keep this dress!

Sophisticated off-the-shoulder dress in a red hot color
I liked this dress but didn't love it. The dress is definitely curve hugging and doesn't leave much wiggle room. Some of the other reviewers mention a bulge in the back where the zipper is. This was true for me too, I'm guessing it's a combination of the dress being a little loose in and me not having a shapely back side. But it didn't bother me enough not to wear it. The length is perfect for a wedding. And the red is definitely a stand out red color that I loved. The biggest issue I had with the dress were the straps, I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be folded down, half down, or just left as is. I ended up folding it a little more than half way down and securing it with a lot of double sided tape and 2 safety pins. Folding the straps down also helped avoid the side boob problem. Overall I liked the dress enough to wear, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Unique dress with the sleeves
I really wanted to rent this dress because of the sleeves but was nervous it would be too hippy-ish... If that makes sense. And I was also a little afraid it would look too boxy on me. BUT I ended up really liking the fit. It did not look boxy at all. At first I had my hair curled and down but I decided putting my hair up looked better with the sleeves. The length was appropriate, not too short or too long. It's a unique looking dress and definitely comfortable enough to dance in. Really liked this rental.

Looked fabulous for my bachelorette!
I usually wear a small but found the XS to be a better fit as it held me in better. I loved how the color of the pink popped against the white the other girls wore. It definitely made me stand out! (which usually I hate but it's my bachelorette so I have to once). The length of the dress might be a little long for some people, but I'm not a huge fan of my legs so it worked for me. Some of the reviewers said they folded the dress under a bit and pinned it down. That will probably work if you want a shorter length. I was a bit concerned about how well the triangle top would hold me in, but it worked out well with the help of those sticky bra cups. Definitely comfortable enough to dance in all night.

This was my first rental from RTW and it got me hooked!
The fit of this dress was very nice. It hugged in the right places without being scandalous. The rouching in the stomach area helped to hide any lumps and food babies. The way the dress is draped give it's a unique look. Very elegant and appropriate for a formal affair. Minus one star because if you look closely the material doesn't look super high quality, but for the price point I was not disappointed.
