Classic
Such a classy and beautiful gown! The color & fabric were very rich and it was so well fitted! I wore it to a black tie gala in NYC and received so many compliments. And I loved that it had pockets too.

Too long for petite torsos
Loved the look of this top but I couldn't wear it. The fit was all wrong for me. The bodice was just too long for my petite & curvy frame. It bunched up at my waist. Sizing up didn't help either. Such a shame because it's beautiful.

Deep cleavage!
I wore this dress to a NJ shore wedding. The bodice is definitely made for a longer torso and the V cuts lower than I'm typically used to wearing. Not ideal for petite women. I also couldn't wear a bra without it showing so I went without one leaving me feeling rather exposed & uncomfortable. It has a fun sparkle to it and it's a nice departure from the usual LBD but this probably one of my least faves from RTR.

Sparkly!
This dress definitely has a shimmer & sheen I wasn't expecting but it's very pretty and a very well made dress. I like that the inner lining was sewn in and not a separate slip so it felt more structured. And the lace is pretty thick. I received a lot of compliments all night!

Beautiful detail on this dress!
I wore this to my 40th birthday dinner in NYC and got so many compliments! It runs a bit large so I had to size down but it's such a pretty and unique style and very well fitted. I did use my own black slip underneath instead of the nude colored one it came with because the nude colored one was really short. But dress looks great with either color underneath. It can get a little hot in this dress due to the heaviness of the lace so I wouldn't recommend it if you plan on dancing a lot.

Such a beautiful color!
I absolutely love everything about this dress. It is so feminine and flirty. The color is unexpectedly striking. The fit is fabulous. Very comfortable and easy to move and dance in. I got so many compliments on this dress!

Great LBD!
Rented this dress for a formal corporate holiday party. Fit was great and loved the look but you can't wear a bra because of the open back. And it's not form fitting or supportive enough to wear without one. Was a struggle to find adhesive cutlets last minute.
Broken Glass Dress

Bust: 36C
Beautiful color that matched the theme of the event!
The original dress I ordered wasn't available and a stylist found this for me last minute. The fit was a little larger than usual so I would recommend sizing down but the dress is a beautiful color and shape. The bottom is sort of bell shaped so it's great if you are pear-shaped or want to give the appearance of curves. The length is also longer than pictured. I'm 5'1 and it was down to my knee so definitely not mid-thigh like pictured. But, since I was at a work event, that was fine by me and overall this dress was a winner.

Stunning dress!
The thick fabric and bright color of this dress make it a true stand out. I received compliments all night long! It has an inner corset which cinches the waist and keeps the girls up. No need for a bra. The skirt is full and playful providing a nice hourglass silhouette. I would highly recommend this dress and might even rent it again myself!

This gown was sent to me as a back-up for my corporate black tie gala.
This is a beautiful gown and one I would consider renting again if a 12 were available. Unfortunately the 10 was too tight in the hips for me to wear.

I rented this dress as a back-up for my birthday party.
RTR only had a size 12 available and unfortunately it was too big in the bust. There was little to no support in the chest area and no way to wear a bra. The fabric on the dress also appeared a bit dingy.

I rented this gown for a formal black time corporate black tie gala.
This is a stunning gown but unfortunately the size 10 was damaged by the previous client and I found out the day before my event. RTR sent the size 12 which was too big and too long. RTR client service did a great job of trying to find me a replacement gown and shipped me 2 alternates but I ended up going with one of my own back-up dresses instead.
