Flattering colorblock

Slit is high in the back so no Spanx but you won't need it. Fabric is thick and lined. Great quality. Vibrant color and nice accent w darker color blocking silhouette

Perfect for day to night.

Rented for a work conference. This dress is comfortable for all day wear and transitions perfectly to evening. I usually am a true 10, and the 12 fit perfectly, so order up a size especially if you are busty. It is a thinner fabric, so I wore with spanx. Overall, loved this rental.

Horrible slippery lining!!

I was so uncomfortable and tangled in this dress. Every time I walked it twisted and rode up and considering I was walking to appointments in DC, it was a constant and embarrassing struggle. The color was beautiful but I could not wait to get it off.

Felt confident and professional

Beautiful colors and flattering fit. I wear a size 10 90% of the time, and in this one the 12 was snug. Definitely size up if you have larger hips!

Fit like a glove, wear for work or casual.

Dress fit good and is forgiving. Color block adds that extra style that makes it look good and makes you shapey.

Felt like a million dollars

Wow. This dress was amazing. Soft and smooth quality material that was lightweight enough for summer. I love the dark red stripe down the back of the dress and the cap sleeve shoulders were beautiful and well crafted. You can tell this is an expensive designer dress! Fit like a glove, loved the length. Will definitely rent again.

Fit was true to size.I am 5'4", 137 lbs with wider hips and small bust. The contrasting colors gives you an hourglass figure. I received so many compliments!

A little boxy

I liked the way it felt but didn't sculpt as much as I wanted. May be that there is that much difference between 14w and 14. 14w is actually too big for me

Great fitted dress

The material is fairly thin so it will show bumps. Based on that, I wish I would have sized up. The design is very slimming and the color is beautiful.

Nice dress but not the greatest fabric

I rented this work for some customer meetings I had. While the dress and color are nice, I was disappointed in the fabric. It was quite thin and had no lining. If I hadn't been planning to wear tights with it, I would've had to wear Spanx or even a slip (gasp!) which isn't great when my day was going to be about 15 hours long. It wore well and held up, but I've rented other items from RTR that I prefer much better.

Great dress, sophisticated but sexy

It's a dress that leaves a little to the imagination, but in a good way. I think I could have sized down for a 4 for a tighter fit, but I liked it.

Conservative with an edge

Loved this dress for a day at the office. Very conservative cut, but the color block of a different tone of burgundy gives it a nice edge. Very formfitting. I am a very standard size 4 and the four fit me like a glove. Absolutely no extra room. That said, I loved it and will rent it again.

Runs small, but felt great

Really happy the size 8 was unavailable and I had to get 10 as my backup. I would even say a size 12 would have been a better fit. Wore this for an all day interview/evaluation and felt great all day.

Love the contrast shaping and color. The dress fits well. A bit tight in the bust, but I'm a 34E, so that's to be expected. Perfect for work.
