THIS. DRESS. IS. EVERYTHING.
By far, my most favorite dress and the most complimented rental I've EVER had in the past 5 years. I'm about a 34B and found the top a little big- but easy to wear a padded strapless bra with for some extra "fill." The slit is a bit high but I didn't have a problem- 5'6 and wore a 3.5/4 inch heel. It's a complete show stopper, super comfortable to dance in. 10/10!

Va-va-voom!
This dress was perfect for a winter wedding. The stock photo appears to be baby blue, but the hue is a grayish, deep teal. Thick material to warrant a strapless bra, stickies or nothing at all! The dress is basically insta-spanx- it was awesome! 5'5 and hit just below the knee. I actually started the cocktail hour off wearing the 2, but it was prettyyyyy tight in the abdomen and thighs so I actually changed into the size 4 for the reception for dancing (I'm small chested so the 2 fit me better on top but hey, gotta make sacrifices). Size up 1 just in case!

Get into the holiday spirit with this stunning dress!
This was my back-up dress, and was too fabulous not to wear. I typically wear a 2 but if I had to do it over, I'd size up for a little more comfort and length. The fabric is thicker and very forgiving. I am barely a B and the chest fit perfectly but I could see it being tight for larger bust sizes. Still getting compliments on this dress weeks later and was the talk of brunch the next day.

Simple but stunning
I loved this dress. I didn't wear it because the length was too short...and I couldn't pull it down anymore with the already deep neckline. I am normally a size 2 and sized up per the other reviews. I plan on renting this again should the occasion arise and I will size up at least 2 sizes for a less-wider V and a better length. (Heels in the picture were 2 inches). Fantastic fabric and a well- made dress.

Perfect for brunch
Fantastic fit. If you rent true to size, the neck line will fall deeper. If I had to rent again (which I absolutely will), I'll size up for a bit more coverage. Falls nicely but be careful with underwear choices- the silky fabric isn't very forgiving.

Fun color & unexpected details
The color is amazing - great alternative to a LBD. The material does not hide a lot and is on the silky side. I typically wear a 2 and ordered a 2 and 4 based on the designer (I've rented BM before). Not a big difference between the 2 sizes and wish I got the 0 for a more fitted look (I was too lazy to have them overnight it). I'm small in the chest department (small B) but not wearing a bra with the material was very unflattering (no pun intended). I wore gel "chicken cutlets" that are strapless and backless and hook together in the front to creat the perfect shape up top (purchased at Target). The dress photographs great and is perfect for sitting and dancing.

Would wear again... But I took too many pictures of it because it's THAT amazing!
The color on this dress is what sealed the deal- it's gorgeous and a flattering color on any skin tone. Do yourself a favor and order 1 size up and 2 sizes up for your back up dress. I wore the 4 but would have maybe gone with the 6 if it was available. (EJ dresses with cut-outs run smaller than their dresses without)! Would definitely wear again...if I didn't take a million pictures in this dress because I loved it so much!

Color pop!
The color is what makes this dress. Great material and fit. 5'4 with a 3 inch heel and the center slit don't let your legs look stumpy or cut off. If I worked out and did more crunches, I would have worn the size 0 but opted for more comfort in the size 2.

The perfect little black dress alternative!
This dress was perfect for a surprise birthday cocktail party in the winter. An amazing alternative to a little black dress! Not a lot of difference between the 0 and 2. I only wore the 2 because it was more comfortable in the shoulders. The dress feels shorter than it photographs . I wouldn't recommend it for serious dancing- I definitely sported some nude spanx shorts underneath just in case!

Perfect and easy to wear!
One of my favorite rentals. Regular bra can be worn and no issues with sequins rubbing on your underarms. The dress (even regular size) runs very long and has a train. Absolutely flattering from ever angle but can be a bit of a pain if you plan on dancing the night away.

I didn't wear it, but it does look better in person than in the picture.
This dress was picked by RTR when another dress I order was returned damaged for a wedding. Although the print and style was not particularly appropriate for a formal evening wedding or my taste, the dress does look better in person than in the picture. Would be a great dress for someone who is conservative - it hits well below the knee and the neckline reveals nothing.

Color and comfort that lasted well into the after party!
I originally ordered the size 2 but it was received back to RTR damaged. I ended up wearing a size 4 that fit well, but I would have worn the 2 if I had it. You can absolutely wear a regular bra with this dress, which adds to the comfort of not having to wear pasties. But needless to say, la-la-loveddddd this dress and wish it was permanently in my closet. (The dress on the right is also a RTR too)!

Stunning was an understatement! Best dress I've rented to date!
This dress was absolutely unforgettable. The lining makes it possible (and comfortable) to go braless. I usually wear a 4R but read other reviews about women going a size down - so I rented a 2R and ended up wearing it....it just highlighted my curves a little better in the waist area than the 4R. If I had to rent it again, I would rent the 2L. I am just about 5'5 and actually wore complete flat sandals (worn in the picture). It probably was a blessing though, being on my feet all night, but what girl doesn't love her heels?! It is a real show-stopper - one you WILL be noticed in!

Perfect fit and comfortable.
The dress was really beautiful. I rented it as my backup and did not end up wearing it. The dress' neck line does not fall as deep as shown in the model photo.

The delivery was immediate and the live online chat with a stylist was helpful, super easy and fast!
This was actually my first RTR dress and experience. This was my back-up dress for a black-tie masquerade event on Halloween weekend. I actually didn't realize the gathering in the front and back when I ordered it, but it was extremely flattering and a very comfortable dress. I got the regular length, which I was nervous would not be long enough. I am almost 5'5 and wore about a 3 inch heel. It was the perfect length! Little things to be aware of: the sequin overlay sometimes gets caught with other sequins on the dress (this happened on the back side at the bottom a little bit) so it might kind of look like static cling! The back of the dress also has a slight train (which you can see in the picture without the mask). Just something to be cautious of with your heels on because it may slightly hit the floor. It was the perfect dress and I highly recommend it!
