Most gorgeous wedding, and felt like I had the right dress!

Rented this as a bridesmaids dress where the stipulation was simple, long, and burgundy. This is not something that is my usual style, but I loved it! The drape was heavy and flattering, and the dress very comfortable with a ton of ways to wear it. The wedding had a loose 70s Moroccan vibe so I opted for the sleeved look with plunging neckline and it was perfect. Several women asked me at the wedding and on social media where I got this. I'm 5'6 and typically a size 10 and the AR fit well--the hem was a bit more high-low than I thought but it worked and I got show off my fun shoes :). Depending on body type and heel height, the AL may be fit better at 5'6. Highly recommend for bridesmaids, and could work for formal affairs.

Perfect work-to-sightseeing dress

I rented this to travel to Boston for a company-wide workshop and loved it. We are a startup so it needed to be casual while also nice enough for me to make an ok impression (ha) and easy to wear straight from the office to out for drinks. I felt stylish in the oversized fit and it looked great for fall with white converse and a light army green jacket. Recommended for everyday use!

Loved this look all night

Wasn't sure about the style for my thicker-in-the-middle body type but I loved it! The 10 was snug but it was supposed to be fitted... the roomier 12 didn't look quite right, and the heavy/stretchy material was flattering. Was able to eat dinner and dance all night in comfort so that's a win. I paired it with colorful shoes and fun earrings and got tons of compliments from friends and strangers. I highly recommend for a stylish, fun dress that is simple enough to style however you choose.

Perfect for the event!

Exactly what I was looking for while cohosting a blessingway for a friend. I loved the print and style of the dress but it was too low cut for me and I ended up safety pinning it so I didn't have any slips. It was light and perfect for spending an early summer afternoon outdoors and I felt pretty and comfortable and got compliments on it :). It's not super flattering but it is really cute-- I'm kind of a shapeless dress fan though. The dress seems less red in person, a bit more pink and muted than appears in photos and runs large! I felt good in the small and am a size 8-10. I didn't wear a bra but you could get away with a strapless if you pin it strategically or maybe if you have a bigger cup size than me. Overall, would highly recommend for an easy daytime event!

Awesome everyday bag!

Rented this through Unlimited for a trip fall trip to Europe. Felt chic but casual enough to use every day, plus it could hold everyone I needed (including a sweater). The only con is that it's not super special in any way, but if you are looking for a great go-with-anything bag then this is the one. Especially good for travel.

Perfect for a fall European vacation!

Not the best pic, but best pic I have of the jacket. I loved this so much that I considered buying it! It fit perfectly, there's enough stretch in it to feel completely comfortable, and it works with every outfit. I wore it pretty much every day in Paris and felt casually stylish and. I have nothing negative to say about it all, and I still want it!

Amazing customer service and stunner of a dress

This dress did amazing things for my body! Emphasized curves and flattened out lumps. RTR does not carry size medium in a regular length so this is the long--it was REALLY long. I'm 5'5 and wore 4 in heels and still had to do a fashion tape hem and take off like 2 more inches. Loved this dress so much anyway. The only downside I can see is the mesh getting worn/snagged easily. I was the first person to wear this (still had the tags) and there were already a few little imperfections.

Did not wear

Love this!! Unfortunately runs small (for my body type anyway) and the larger size was STILL too tight. I'm typically a size 8 and the one shown here is a 10. Gave me a really nice shape thought, the cut and thickness of material is super flattering and I love the color. Would consider renting again in another size.

Perfect for an California July wedding!

Super cute, tons of compliments. I've gained some weight recently (ugh) so was worried about lumps/fit, but was actually REALLY flattering despite being very fitted. Liked not having to wear a bra, but could easily have used a nu-bra to give a little more shape. Easy to style and comfortable to wear as there's a good amount of stretch. I was worried about how bright pink it looks, but it's more mellow in person. Would love to wear again, and recommend giving it a try even if it's not your typical style (it was defintely out of the box for me).

GREAT customer service!

Such a cute and fun, just didn't fit :(. My back up size was unavailable so they sent me another item of my choice which I ended up wearing instead. I would say size up if you're in between, and definitely if you're *blessed* with a wide rib cage like I am.

So cute but too small

Loved this perfect sparkly little party dress, but I'm a s/m (maybe more of a true medium post holiday season...) and I could not even get the zipper all the way up on the medium. Very tight around the midsection/rib cage area. However the cut of the front is so cute and flattering and the darker color is a great balance to how sparkly the dress is! I would recommend sizing up if you have a wider torso.

Best customer service!

Nice choice for seeing a super cheesy but fun Michael Jackson tribute band for my boyfriend's birthday! Super cute jumpsuit, great color, and cute styling with the belt. Con is that I'm not very large chested and had to safety pin the front or my bra would have been showing all night. Also perhaps not the wisest choice for a night of partying-- it's not very easy to get in and out of for bathroom breaks. That might be because I'm wider up top though. Also, I'm not complaining because I wanted to wear flats, but the regular length was too short to wear with heels and I'm only 5'5. Overall though, I would rent again!

Beautiful, fun dress but runs small

So cute! Not my usual style and I have never worn Tracy Reese but seeing all the RTR reviews made me choose this for a not-too-serious fall wedding in San Francisco. After reading the reviews, I ordered a size up for back up but even that (size 8) didn't zip all the way!! I will say that I have a large rib cage, so anyone out there with the same, consider 2 sizes up. Beautiful dress in person though, and I might try renting again as a holiday dress.

Loved this dress! Wore it to an evening cocktail reception and thought it was perfect.

Runs very large-- I usually wear a small or even medium in some brands but the xs fit best. I'm pretty small chested but used boobtape and a safety pin and was fine, no fear of falling out. Recommended for a modern but elegant event.
