Perfect for my daughter’s Christmas pics.

I love this dress! This was a black tie wedding and it was absolutely perfect! Definitely would rent again or would love to own. ❤️ I ended up with a 10 and not the 8….but I often flex between the two sizes. 

I'm always an 8 or a 10 in dresses.  The 10 was a little big, so I was able to order a quick replacement and the 8 fit perfect! I wore this dress for a wedding in Brooklyn that was cocktail attire.  I felt it was a perfect dress for the occasion.  The dress has a high/low element that flares out like a tutu that made me feel very Carrie Bradshaw.  Highly recommend for a simple, classy dress! Oh and it has pockets!! 

This was a very comfortable dress. I wore the size 14 instead of my usual 16.

It was a bit tight on the chest, but not too bad. I felt like a princess, I received so many compliments.

This was the perfect "Audrey Hepburn" type dress for a gala. I rented this in size 4 and 6. I normally wear a 4 but the waistband doesn't have give and the 6 was more comfortable. I was able to wear a normal strapless bra with this dress. I am 5'3" and 130 lbs. 

This was when I was a size 6-8 and it was a little snug… but LOVED it.

This dress was beautiful o my thing it was a little big on my with straps the other size would have been way too big but I made it work and I got compliments all night long 

I love the shape of the dress: semi-low back, high-low hem, and full skirt. It was fun while still being classy, glam, and on trend. I paired with strappy, black heels and sparkly statement earrings. This was my first time using RTR and I can't wait to rent again!

Received several compliments. Well made and love the pockets! The waist is snug without any give but was still comfortable enough for dancing. 

This was probably my favorite rental to date! Was comfortable, classy and flattering. 

Such a great dress! Fit perfectly and was really comfortable. Pockets were a great addition! This was my first rental and it exceeded my expectations! 

This dress fit absolutely perfect. Wonderful customer service. Runs small in the bust area, but a very easy to wear dress! 

I received so many compliments!

I rented this dress after my first choice from RTR did not work out. It was for my brother-in-law's wedding. It worked out great and got SO many compliments all night!

Overall, the fit was great. I would recommend getting one size bigger as a back up. I am a true 8 (typically don't wear bigger or smaller) and as the 8 fit me, the 10 fit me more comfortably in this dress. The sequins did rub a bit on your under arms. Oh, and the pockets were amazing!! I would highly recommend this dress for your next special occassion.

This dress was gorgeous! I was so comfortable and happy with my choice! The only minor issue was that the sequins rubbed on my underarms a little. Totally worth it!

 I wore the 10- the 8 fit but the sequins were a little scratchy under my arms and I wanted more room.  The back is gorgeous on this dress.  It fits so well.  I got many compliments on it and loved the pockets.  I was able to dance and pretend to ride the flower bike in the lobby! 

I rented this dress for New Year's Eve! Very flattering and I got so many compliments! 

This dress was perfect for a black tie optional wedding in late October. As others mentioned, it fits snug through the rib cage, so I wore a size up from my usual. The low back was high enough that I could wear a  normal bra, and it was very flattering through the stomach. I felt comfortable dancing in it all evening!

The whole process is so easy and seamless!! Everything came in on time and my dress fit well! I loved that the dress has pockets!! I got so many compliments on it. The V back goes down a bit too low to wear a normal bra, but I didn't personally have an issue with that. I thought the dress might be a little uncomfortable at the arms from the sequins but it wasn't at all! Would definitely recommend the dress and rent the runway!!

I absolutely LOVED this dress. I felt great in it and the best part for any dress... POCKETS. Fanatic cocktail dress. 

Pros: fit amazingly well, loved the sparkly top, was comfortable, easy to move around in, the back is low cut but I could still wear a strapless bra with it, the dress had pockets which I always love, the length was perfect. I would post a picture when I get a good one back from the photographers. Cons: None!!!!

I was so excited to get this dress based on the reviews, however when I put it on I thought it looked "ok" at best.  It had pockets which was great and I didn't have to wear a bra - a huge plus! 
The downside: the sequins rubbed my arms something awful and I had red marks on my arms the next day. I found the bottom to be so poofy and unflattering. I'm a large/size 12 and the 12 fit perfectly. 

This was my first time renting from RTR and it was a success! I needed a dress for a Quinceanera that my kids were in the Court & this dress worked out prefect!  It was very comfortable & I got lots of compliments. The pockets were a plus too! I typically wear a 16 or 18 (5'3" / 36DD) and the 16 was a great fit.  Comfortable and flattering. 

Perfect fit, received compliments all night and so comfortable! Even rented suggested earrings, great combo!

Beautiful dress. I ended up wearing something else because recommended size 6 didn’t fit and the extra order size 8 was uncomfortably tight— no give in waist band. 

Got a lot of compliments, this is just a classy black dress! Didn’t even need to steam it when it arrived at the hotel for a graduation ball. And it has pockets! I normally wear a four and this time I wore the six and I couldn’t wear a bra, but it was very formfitting and I didn’t need one. The sequins were not itchy, I have a hangup about that!

I NEVER ever wear this cut of dress, always convinced it makes me look bottom heavy. However, the reviews gave me confidence to try it. And I'm glad I did! The effect was that it made my waist look smaller, in my opinion. It was the perfect dress for a formal wedding! 

I wore it to a charity gala. Worked great. Comfy. I’m only 5’0”, so it was long on me, but still looked fine. The 2 fit nicely, not tight, even with my mom pooch, and no shape wear. The 4 would’ve been fine, too, just a tad looser. I’m hippy, so this dress was a great choice for me. 

Only issue was the back was little low, I kept having to tug my bra down - finally gave up since it was black not too noticeable but it ruined the scoop of the back which was nice. Loved the high-low hem and poofiness of the skirt. 

The dress was perfect for a black tie optional banquet.  It photographs well.  Love the pockets and while it had a deep b in back, was still able to wear a normal bra with it.  Only problem I had was very tight on my rib cage.  I typically wear a 6 but went with my second size an 8 to be able to breath!  

The size 2 fit (my normal size) but in the lung area it was tight. Felt like a squeeze. And I’m not large chested, so I’m sure if you’re higher than an A cup, you will for sure need to size up. I sized up and felt better/more comfortable in the 4. 

I loved this dress. It was comfortable & adorable! The 2 fit perfect & I’m 5’7’’ & 115 lb. 

I really liked this dress and enjoyed wearing it, although I needed a backless/strapless bra to make the back look right. 

If only this could have worked!!!!! It was so cute and exactly the fun, flirty, spunky- yet classy formal look I wanted! However, it was WAY too tight around my rib cage (boobs were fine), and  cut up into my armpits. This made it particularly scratch and uncomfortable. There is no way that I could have worn this for an entire evening. I’m really hopeful that trying the next size up will work! Fingers crossed that it was the size and not just the way it’s made. Such potential to be fun and cute! 

Absolutely LOVED this dress!! Got it for a formal gala and received so many compliments on it that evening. Fit like a glove, would definitely rent again!

I’ve rented several of these dresses and I always feel so comfortable in them! Not tight in the stomach and long enough in the back. Loved it!

Rented this dress for a formal evening wedding at an elegant hotel and it was a winner. Not only was it beautiful but it was also comfortable and the pockets were a nice bonus. The back up size came in handy. I usually wear an 8 but it was a little snug and hard to fully zip, so I opted for comfort and wore the 10. Paired with sparkly gold heeled sandals and a clutch. We had a fun and fabulous evening! 

I was 5 foot, 180 pounds, 36D chest. This is a size 12 dress. Since I'm so short the size 14 skirt portion puffed out too much. I went with a size 12. The bottom half does puffed out the way to design which could make it look bigger but it's also forgiving and flattering. Great low back.
