Classy LBD

I loved the understated elegance of this dress. The subtle sparkle in the fabric really makes this dress pop without being too much. It was perfect for Christmas Eve dinner.

Cute LBD

This was a backup dress that was sent in place of another dress I ordered. It actually worked better than the original dress so I ended up wearing it to my sorority's formal. It was comfortable and I got many compliments.

Stunning silloutte

I wore this out for my birthday dinner and loved the shape and fit of the dress. It hit in all the right places for me and the lower back was a nice touch. You are still able to wear a regular bra with this which was really nice and added to the overall comfort.

Cute, comfortable dress!

I wore this dress for New Years Eve. It was super comfortable and easy to wear. I generally wear a 6 - sometimes an 8 - and I felt like I might have been able to size down to a 4. But, being a little loose wasn't a problem. Really cute in the back! Good length.

Great costumer service!

So my original rental did not fit, it was a gorgeous piece, and I was very sad I didn't get to wear it (it was too small). I called RTR after 5 pm on EST and I had multiple options by a stylist and we landed on this one. I was worried because I had to leave by 3 pm for my party the next day! By the stylist assured me that she would mark that the dress needed to be at my residence before noon, and it was at my house by 10! It was wonderful! The dress fit much better and I adored it- it was appropriate for the party, and the after party- very easy to dance in! I had a ton of fun in this dress- and RTR made me a happy renter once again!

This dress was stunning! It glows in the light and it looked so regal and elegant! I felt beautiful.

The fit was a bit big on the top, I should've gotten a size 0. But other than that, the dress was lovely and the perfect knee length for a formal affair. It was classic, but still spontaneous!

Perfect Fit!

The dress was the perfect dress for the award banquet I was attending and for going out for drinks afterwards. What I loved about the dress was that the front fit like a glove and was very classy, but with the deep U back with the bow, the dress could be sexy too. I would buy this dress in a heartbeat!

GORGEOUS

One of my favorite dresses I've rented! I loved the bow detail in the back. The color was perfec for a Decemeber wedding... I was able to wear a bra with the dress which is a huge plus! I received many compliments.

ZoeNovember 25th, 2013
looks great, and love the way you styled it with your bun, tights, all of it. can i ask, was it just a regular strapless bra that worked with this? or something else?
NatalieDecember 7th, 2013
Thanks Zoe! I loved this dress! Yes, it was just a regular strapless bar and I pulled the back down just a tad.

The lining is divine, silky and hot pink. I am bigger up top, but this dress fit great. Could have been a little shorter, but overall great dress!

Great dress for New Years, Day or Night

I rented this dress for new years eve but with a 5 month old we decided to take a drive up to Jekyll Island, enjoy the pool/hot tub/beach at the hotel and then celebrate New Years Day with a special brunch at the Jekyll Island Club. My husband and I are photographers so we also did a little impromptu photo sesh with my rental. The dress would have been perfect with my sky high studded heels for NYE but also worked well with my black and gold boots for a more casual/comfortable look. The dress has an adorable u back with bow detail. I loved the gold shimmer jacquard fabric. The lining is hot pink and silky but did show at the neckline and at the hem when positioned a certain way (sitting usually) but not a huge deal. Some of the metallic threads were fraying but not really noticeable unless you were inspecting the dress. Metallic threads tend to break easily so it is par for the course with the fabric really. I was told by a RTR rep that this brand ran generous but I found it to run true to size if not a tad small. A lady at the hotel complimented the look and it was comfortable enough to walk around the club grounds. This is a versatile dress I would love to have in my wardrobe!

I wore this dress for New Years Eve, and thought it was perfect... TTS and a great length. I'm 5'10" and wore 3.5 inch heels and the dress wasn't too short. The back is adorable!

I wore this to my sorority's semi formal and fell in love! My boyfriend loved it too!

I absolutely loved the fit! Everything fit me exactly as it should, and it photographed beautifully. The only problem was my boobs were too small to fit the top, but I pulled the dress down a bit and it looked just as good! Couldn't ask for a better experience with RTR and would definitely do it again!

Perfect dress for the occasion.

I wore it to a Mad Men themed Gala. It was a tad bit short so I wore it with tights and it made it very appropriate! A normal bra might show a little in the back, but other than that, it was a wonderful outfit for the evening!

I wore this for the final night of a show performance! Everyone loved it and so did I!

The fit is true to size. Very flattering on every body type. I would say I have some curves but I felt very confident in it. The pink lining is a cute touch. I would encourage wearing statement jewelry to complete the look.

This dress made me feel so elegant, classy, and flirty!

It fit perfectly, short enough to be cute and fun, long enough to be elegant. I loved the high neck in the front and the medium to low back. It's SO comfortable and easy to move in. I wish I could buy it!

The dress was beautiful. Perfect fit!

First the service was wonderful! They didn't have a size I needed and offered me two additional dresses! I had a very difficult time choosing. Loved the dress. Perfect for the wedding or practically any event. I ended up wearing simple jewelry because of the metallic threading woven through the material. And my pictures show two different shoes: black patent and suede nudes. I wore the nudes because it elongated my legs. Unless you have very long legs like the model in the picture, the dress is just a little over the knee. The back is low with a bow which was a nice contrast to the more modest front. Really loved it!

I asked the staff for a size recommendation and their advice was spot on.

This dress fit really well. I got a lot of compliments and everyone was asking where I got it. The fit says the back is low and it is, which is why I bought a nubra to wear with it, but I probably could have gotten away with a regular strapless bra. I have wide hips and I still had plenty of room in the dress without looking frumpy. Overall a great fit! I should mention that depending on the size I can usually wear an 8 or a 10.

so many compliments, so comfortabel, so classy! i was referred to as a mix between a first lady and kate middleton!

Im sixteen years old and wore this to a black tie charity ball, it was aboslutely PERFECT! the material is super cool and isnt sequins like it looks in some of the other review pictures and the back doesnt cut near as deep, it cuts about mid back maybe a little higher. It wasnt too short but a little snug at the waist but nothing a thing of Spanx couldnt fix! the top of the dress was loose enough for a lareger bust but wasnt to big for a smaller it was absolutely cute and comfortable, with and up do and a short pearl necklace and some nude peach and black heels i was set! i wish this dress was mine! better than it looks on the model! it is PERFECT!! please rent this its amazing!

So quick and easy to order, receive and send back! Made my busy life very simple!

Fit perfectly! Could have worn the 4 or the 6 (usually wear a size 2 but this dress is a bit tight/ short) Wore it to a five star restaurant for NYE with my boyfriends family and was the perfect dress - family appropriate yet still fun, sparkly and flirty for NYE. Received a ton of compliments not to mention was able to eat everything on my plate and dance the night away without a care in the world!

After 3 hard years of law school, I felt accomplished and beautiful at our Dean's Reception held at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum! It was the perfect dress for a proud moment.

This was my first rental from RTR and it was wonderful! I rented it for my law school pre-graduation reception. It was the perfect dress -- eye catching, yet conservative enough for such a formal event. The back is low, but so cute with the bow! I did have to buy a special bra (although, on second though, I should have just used my Nu Bra!). It is truly a comfortable dress - not too tight, but flattering.

I wore this dress to a gala event that I was working at, and it was the perfect mix of classy and flattering while still being work appropriate. It worked wonderfully with a big necklace- I got a ton of compliments! It is a little too low in the back to wear a bra, just to keep in mind.

Fits perfectly in all the right places!

This dress is amazing. It was just a little tight in the waist but otherwise perfect. I have larger hips so I was worried about that but it was no problem. Wore it to a family wedding with a different necklace- that I thought showed off the dress better. It has the cutest pink lining. I seriously wanted to keep it.. would've been my go to LBD.

My birthday night was made extra special with this dress!

I LOVED this dress. It was perfect paired with a pair of nude heels and was picture perfect the whole evening. I was also able to wear a regular bra with the low back, which made me happy since I didn't have to go out and guy a new one. Would rent again in a second! Pretty true to size, maybe a little large if anything. Perfect for almost any event.

Felt amazing in this dress!

This dress is SO adorable on! It was my first rental and I was thrilled with it. I wear a size 6 usually and the 6 fit perfectly (I got an 8 as well and didn't even need it). The fabric makes it look very fun and fancy in person and the cut it very flattering. It assumed from the picture that I wouldn't be able to wear a bra with this dress - but I was able to without it be being visible! Highly recommend this dress for a winter wedding/event!

Beautiful dress, runs a bit too large

This dress is absolutely gorgeous in person and has the perfect amount of sparkle. It just runs a tad large to where I needed to pin it in the back so it wasn't baggy on me. The open back and bow are nice details and I got tons of compliments on this dress.

Perfect dress for holiday party.

This dress was perfect for our company holiday party. It was a little tight on the top (i'm normally a 4 or 6) but worked well enough. The fabric is beautiful and super shimmery. The bow in the back is so cute! I wore it with a great pair of heels and simple jewelry and it was perfect.

Perfect LBD for date night

This dress is perfect for a semi-fancy date night. It's very simple, but with a slight sparkle and a low back. The fit was perfect. Love how easy this one is to wear. As usual, the service was excellent.
