Great fit, love the color!
I wore this to a black-tie optional wedding in NYC and it was the right about of glam for a city wedding. I opted to wear the 6 just because I like my clothes to be a little looser. The 4 fit great, I just wanted more room. The color is a beautiful midnight blue with a black liner. I'm a 34A and I didn't need to wear a bra with it. I paired it with gold heels and a link pink shawl. I was comfortable all night in this dress. I highly recommend it!

Festive for Christmas
I wore this to my husband's work christmas party. I felt very festive and it was appropriate for the "cocktail attire" event. The color and overall fit worked well for me. The structure of the dress forced me to have good posture, which is a good thing, but if I slouched at all the fabric would gather around my collar bones. My only "cons" would be: the zipper on both the 4 and 6 I rented where difficult to zip up even when just hanging them back up on the hanger.

Fun for the races! Beading didn't hold up
I wore this to the Belmont Stakes. It was a hot day so I didn't wear this too much since our seats were in the shade. I paired it with a RTR floral dress. My only negative feedback was that the beading on the hat was loose upon arrival and it snapped shortly after putting it on.

Light and airy! Perfect for the horse races!
I wore this to the Belmont Stakes. It was a great dress to wear for the race. It was a hot day and this dress kept me cool and was not cumbersome. The floral pattern of the dress paired with a floppy hat made for a traditional horse race outfit for a great price.

Great fit, tricky zipper
This dress made me feel great! I wore it to an outdoor day wedding this spring. I dressed it up with nude heels and a bib necklace. I didn't feel to dressed up or underdressed, it was just right! The fit was great too! I didn't even try on the back-up 6 dress because the 4 fit perfectly. It wasn't too tight or loose. I was able to breath, but it hugged my body in the right areas. My only problem was the zipper. Even unzipping it to try it on, the zipper got caught and was a bit stiff. Make sure you have a friend or significant other around to help zip you up! Overall I definitely recommend this dress!

Black tie event for a company holiday/anniversary at the Rainbow Room in New York City.
I rented this gorgeous dress for a black tie event at the Rainbow Room in NYC. I loved how the material flowed around as I walked and danced, but that being said there was a lot more material than I thought there would be! It has a very full skirt, and a bit static-y, due to the winter weather. The details are even more stunning in-person and I received multiple compliments! My only thing I would have changed is the size. It was VERY long on me. I'm 5' 5" and had to wear 3" heels just to make the dress come right above the floor to avoid tripping, so that made maneuvering a little difficult. I ordered the 2R and 4R. I went with the 2R but I felt I could have gone even smaller. I'm a 34 A cup and wore a padded strapless bra. I still had to pull the dress up throughout the night. A smaller size definitely would have helped. The smocking in the back is great for keeping up the dress, but ordering a smaller size will keep your dress in place better. Overall, I loved renting this dress and using the RTR services. I would definite use this service again!
