GORGEOUS Sequin Gown!

I absolutely loved how this dress fit, and the sequin pattern is even more vibrant in real life. Definitely on the snug side, but I was able to move and dance without any issues or wardrobe malfunctions. Highly recommend!!

Stunning!

This dress was beautiful, fit perfectly, and I received sooo many compliments. One of my favorite dresses I’ve ever worn! The fit was just right for my body type, I don’t think the size would have fit a larger chest or hips.

Tons of compliments

This dress hugged me pretty tight. I'm small up top, so it might not be for someone with bigger boobs. The way it lights up when you move is incredible! So unique.

The perfect outdoor Spring/Summer dress

This dress is beautiful in pictures but stunning in real life! Wore it for a rooftop wedding! The lighting hits the dress so nicely, got so many compliments! I wore a small which fit beautifully on my body, im 5’4, 125-130 lbs, Im more of a slim body type with a bit of curve on my hips, im a 36 C and D in bra, Also have a shorter torso but long legs, the length was perfect for my height, I wore clear kitten heels, kept my jewelry simple because the dress is a statement on its own. The dress is form fitting, I did not need to wear a bra since the dress was tight on top but not tight to where i felt restricted, but the straps on the dress are adjustable which is a plus, overall 5 out of 5 for this dress! I enjoyed and loved it ! You won’t regret this one!

AMAZING DRESS

This dress got SO many compliments. It fit just right. The zipper isn’t very long, so I had to put it over my head rather than step into it, but it worked out just fine. It doesn’t have a lot of stretch either, so I recommend sizing up on your backup. Overall, a beautiful dress for a beautiful night!

My favorite dress I've rented from RTR

Amazing experience wearing this beautiful dress to a New Orleans black tie wedding! I got non stop compliments and it was perfect for this event. I am 5"3 and slightly wider in the ribs, so SR was *slightly* tight around my chest and also too long, but with the right pair of heels, it worked. Would absolutely rent again!

Amazing fit!

Highly recommend this dress, I wore this to a formal and got compliments all night on it. Super comfortable and looks great in photos and in person. I’m glad I got the XL because typically I fit into L but the body-con made the dress a little tighter despite stretchable fabric so I had to size up.

Great dress!

Work this dress to a work gala. Overall fit and length of the XS was perfect for my body type (5’5”, 32B, 110lbs). I was able to wear without a bra. Loved that the straps of the dress are adjustable. Got lots of compliments!!

AMAZING.

10/10 would definitely rent again. Amazing dress, wore it to a destination wedding in Colombia. I received many compliments and everyone loved it even the bride. Thank you RTR!!! They even let me pause my account and pay a small fee to keep the dress for the month until I returned to the states.

Effortless Showstopper

This is a beautifully made dress with an amazing fit to the body. The only thing to note is that it's on the longer end, which can be easily lifted with some safety pins.

Showstopping Glam

This dress for like a glove but was comfortable and true to size. My biggest issue was that the zipper was a little tough to zip up and the lining shows at the bottom of the dress. Otherwise, absolutely stunning for a black tie wedding.

Dress fit perfectly! The dress material was breathable and comfortable for 60-70 degree weather.

Adjustable straps were key in making sure the dress fit around my chest area. The dress is very flattering, but form fitting. If you have larger hips, I would recommend going a size up.

Felt so beautiful in this gown! It photographs so well. I got tons of compliments and felt very comfortable all night. Definitely runs small so I ordered an XL and there was plenty of room.

Absolutely stunning dress! wore it to a friend's wedding in Napa. Everyone loved it! Don't hesitate.

Runs about a size small, but it is so comfortable. I'm 5'3, wore it with some 4in heels, the length was perfect. The sequins is more comfortable than I anticipated. The pictures don't do this dress justice. The colors are so vibrant.

Must rent STUNNER!

Fantastic gown to really make your special event that much more special. Fit is true to size and really flattering. I tightened the straps to tuck everything in up top. I'm 6'2" so while it was a bit shorter I did like where it fell length wise. Only thing worth mentioning is that the under arm sequins can get a bit scratchy but nothing terrible. Great shimmer for day time events!

I wore this to a friend’s wedding in Mexico & it was perfect! The sequins & colors fit right in!

It fit like a glove! I’m curvy but it hugged my curves in the right places. I’m 5’6” and it hit the top of my feet which was fine because I planned on wearing flats this time but I usually wear heels which it would have been too short for. I highly suggest this dress & would wear it again!

So many compliments!

I had such a hard time parting with this amazing dress. The colors, the sequins, the shape, it was my favorite from RTR so far! It was comfortable to wear all day and night long, no scratchy sequins, fit true to size. I looked up this brand's size chart on their website and measured myself according to that and was good to go. I'm 5'11, hourglass shape; a long might have been nice, but the regular was a good length. I got so many compliments, it's such a beautiful dress. Felt like a princess!

GET THIS DRESS

I wore this dress to my prom and received compliments ALL NIGHT LONG! It fit perfectly, and that's saying something. I looked everywhere for dresses and this dress fits way better than any other dress I could find and it's so gorgeous. It is a little long so if you're on the shorter side, like me, wear some HIGH heels.

Rented 4 gowns to have options for my senior voice recital- this was the winner!

If I had to have a huge, black singers mask covering my face, the dress had to be flashy. I had to swap the XS for the S because singing requires breathing room. The material is very sturdy, not stretchy, but not uncomfortable. Didn't need to wear a bra, either. The pictures online don't do its design justice. There are sequins AND beautiful embroidered flowers covering the gown. Adjustable straps are a plus! Truly one-of-a-kind.

This dress was a show stopper! I felt gorgeous and received compliments all night! Hugged my curves.

I ordered the XL and XXL. The XL wasn't available which worked out because the XXL fit perfect after a week indulging on vacation lol. If you are between sizes I would size up as it does fit snug. However, this dress did hug my curves in all the right places. It was supportive and the straps were adjustable so I didn't even have to wear a bra. I'm pretty short and the dress hit the floor with my kitten heels. The sequins were so different and hit the light just right. Not itchy like other sequin dresses I have worn. I REALLY did not want to return it as it was so beautiful!

Showstopper!!

I received many many compliments on this dress! I wore this to a formal wedding and it was perfect! The coloring of the sequence is beautiful and reflects nicely! The dress doesn’t have a ton of give so ordering the bigger size was the right way to go for me. I’m 5’5” and the dress landed right at my ankle which I loved!
