Date Night, steak house dinner... everything!
I LOVED the sleeves on this one...it was a fun little detail. Overall, it ran a bit large but not unwearable. It is also a little shorter so pair with high waisted jeans or a pencil skirt!

Perfect for Christmas day lunch or cute, casual look
Wore this for Christmas day lunch and got lots of compliments. The red is just enough to be festive but also versatile to wear to work or out and about. The front is the perfect v neck. This blouse is SO soft and comfortable. I would definitely rent this again!

Festive holiday dress!
It was my first time wearing an LK Bennett dress but always a huge fan of her shoes! Like her shoes, these are European sizing and so like every review I read, the top (shoulders, chest, arms) were a bit snug but manageable! The bottom of this dress moves so well and the fabric has a touch of shine to make it festive. Loved this one!

Perfect for attending a beach wedding!
This picture does not do the dress justice! It was comfortable and flowed! The dress kept me warm during a winter beach wedding. The front is low cut but secured it with a safety pin to keep it together so it wouldn't open too widely. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this dress!
Multi Floral Wrap Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 14

Perfect for a casual Christmas party at my best friend's house! Perfect holiday flannel flair!
RTR suggested an XXL in this designer and I usually wear an XL...it fit at the waist (elastic) and the sleeves were loose but it was LOW cut and I wish I had worn a tank underneath instead of pulling it up all night. However, it was so soft and so comfy and I LOVED the pattern. I'd definitely rent it again but in a smaller size!

This dress added texture and flow to our engagement pictures!
I rented this beauty for our engagement session. I love how bright red this dress is and the florals and details on it. It felt bridal but in red. It fit like a glove and I felt gorgeous in it! I got compliments from strangers as my fiance and I walked through downtown Houston for our engagement pictures.

Got tons of compliments in this stunner!
This dress is so comfortable for a very warm and humid Houston night! It breathes really well. I got tons of compliments! The dress runs true to size and I wish I could have ordered a 14R (wasn't available when I ordered it). The 16 was a little large but thanks fashion tape! The length was perfect for summer, not a full out down but about midi length with 4 inch heels. I wish I could buy this dress!
Zora Dress

Size Worn: 16R

This dress makes you feel so pretty from the color to the style!
This dress looks form fitting in the pictures on RTR which it is but in all the right ways with room to breath and move around. I am typically a 14-16/XL in dresses on RTR and the 14W fit perfectly. I also hid the straps because they do look like bra straps (all you have to do is loosen the bra straps and then stuff them underneath the sleeves). I'm 5'5" and I LOVED that the dress fell mid calf. It was perfect for an evening wedding at the Botanical Gardens.
Ballet Pink Lace Sheath

Size Worn: 14WR

It was too tight in the chest area but loose in the hip area. It just didn't look good on my body.
Lovely color but didn't fit :(
Yellow Floral Maxi
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 38B
This dress made me feel amazing! It was perfect for the mid morning wedding and lunchtime reception!
This dress was perfect for Houston's mild, spring weather! It's heavy material but it breathes. The straps are easy to hide if you don't want to wear them. I'm 5'5" so it was a little longer than tea length but heels help to lengthen the look. The petals and leaves on the dress are a pastel pink and pastel green. I got so many lovely compliments on it!
Garden Lace Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: 16R
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 38B
This dress was absolutely beautiful in person and a dream to slip on!
I agree with the other reviews about the fit. I tyoically wear a large up top and a 14 pant but I sized up and it fit perfectly. The green is pretty much the same as in the picture.
Green Gabi Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 16
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 38B
Loved the color of this dress & how it flowed through the evening as I walked! Lots of compliments!
The ML dresses run small so I'd order your regular size and a size up! It has extra straps in the dress to prevent you from having to pull it up which is usually my apprehension with strapless dresses. Also the color was phenomenal! Take the risk, it's so worth it. The pockets were so handy for my phone to capture pictures during the night. I was so sad when I had to return it!
Sunshine Day Gown

Size Worn: 16R

I ordered it for my graduation party along with another ML dress. This one fit well!
Loved this. Wish I could've worn both dresses I ordered but I chose the other one instead (also an ML). But trying this one on, it was so fun and comfortable. They do run small. I had to wear a size up!
Ring Around Dress
ML Monique Lhuillier
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Bust: 38B
I wore it for my law school graduation! It was comfortable and I loved the classic cut of the dress!
It fit so well! I loved the pockets. The back has a dramatic flare because it goes lower than most dresses so its great with your hair down or up. I loved the fit and flare. It was comfortable and I wore it all day!

Loved this dress, it was perfect for a "between winter and spring" wedding!
I was worried because the fabric doesn't like have a lot of give...or so I thought. It stretches a little bit but not too much. The dress is super flattering and I got so many compliments on how it fit like a glove. The pockets are large enough to fit an iPhone 6! Overall, it was another successful RTR experience!

It was a great reunion of friends and I had a wonderful dress to celebrate in!
After reading numerous reviews I was excited and nervous about my first R4R rental. The dress fit perfectly and it was so comfortable for a day long event. The pockets were so fun and held my cell phone and lipgloss. I would love to rent this dress again. Everyone else's reviews were pretty accurate in terms of size. The lace didn't bother me though!
