Loved this bag
I wish I owned it. So glamorous! Very sparkly and blingy in person.

Super comfortable and big enough pockets for a phone in each! Perfect for a fall wedding.
They didnt have my normal 4 size but the backup 6, though perhaps a bit large, was still fine in terms of fit. Even though the silhouette is pretty simple, the standout pattern and contrast in the high-low generated more compliments than probably any other RTR dress I've ever worn!

Near-perfect party dress
I rented this for my office holiday party, and thought it was super festive and fun. The color is a gorgeous jewel tone and the fabric has a lovely sheen. It has a tailored and luxe feel. The top does run small (I ordered a 2 and 4 but my back-up never arrived, so fortunately the 2 fit). I was able to wear this with a normal strapless bra, but definitely check to make sure yours won't ride up. The overall sizing was accurate, but the top is definitely on the snug side, with less give due to the fabric. The back is incredibly eye-catching, and I found that with a sparkly belt, the ensemble really popped. A statement necklace or earrings would also do the trick. Lastly, given the fabric and time in transit, reserve time to press or steam the dress before wearing. Incidentally, because my back-up size did not come and the dress itself arrived a day late, I asked for 25% off of the rental fee (I only had three days of the rental period, not four). RTR kindly obliged and satisfied my customer service issue. A good reminder to give yourself padding on when the dress arrives and when you will actually wear it.

Pretty but too large
I honestly ordered these because I had a 30% off rental deal, but the dress I wanted was less than $75, so in order to qualify, I added these on as "extras." Because of this, I wasn't too disappointed that the earrings were far too big. They looked great, but after 30 seconds of trying them on, my ears were in pain and being pulled down. I have small earlobes and was concerned that 1) The earrings would fall off and be lost because they are clip-ons or 2) The earrings would stretch out my earlobes. They are truly lovely and very reminiscent of Angelina Jolie's emerald earring Oscar moment, but unfortunately didn't work for me.

Other guests came up to us asking to take our photo!
I wore this to a dear friend's wedding, hosted in a historic mansion. She encouraged us to get all glammed up, in the 1930s theme similar to "Boardwalk Empire." This dress, paired with a sparkly headband and serious red lipstick did the trick! The only issue, as others mentioned, is the zipper. It'a a minor pain, and a second set of hands helped to get it fastened. And a little BodyGlide (no joke - runners know what I'm talking about!) will help your arms to not chafe against the sequins.

There was an hush and awe noise over the crowd as I walked down the aisle!
I was in a wedding where the awesome bride let us pick any long black dress as our bridesmaid attire. So glad I went with this Halston Heritage pick. It was sexy and gorgeous, while still simple and elegant. Unlike the model, I opted for a simple necklace so as not to detract from the neckline. I found a backless plunge strapless bra for support and lift -- but most women will probably be fine with no bra here. I'm 5'7 and the long length worked well with high heels.

Super flirty, feminine -- and it has pockets!
I rented a gown for my brother's wedding, and used the $25 bonus second rental to rent this dress for the rehearsal dinner. It was perfect for the fall-theme and I felt comfortable all evening. I also received a ton of compliments!

Beautiful, but very big
These earrings were lovely, but a bit heavier and bigger than I expected. Careful if you're a lady with sensitive or small earlobes!

Nothing like walking down the streets of NYC knowing all eyes are on you and your fabulous dress!
A simple, not too bare, elegant and sexy ensemble. Wore this to dinner at Eleven Madison Park, one of NYC's most sought-after reservations, and I felt like the elevated attire got us even better service all night long ;-) I ordered the 4 and 6, and wonder if the 2 might have been better instead, but all in all, no complaints!
