A Statement Piece

All I have to say is GET the DRESS! It’s sexy, fits like a glove, has the sleeves that add that bit of extra. The red screams confidence and you will feel it. I am between sizes and glad I sized up.

This red dress was so flattering!! It hid all my insecurities (arms and tummy) and made me feel great! The 4 was a tiny big and the 2 fit perfectly. I’m 5”7 120 lbs size b bra. I loved this dress so much!!

Lady in red

This is the most beautiful, eye popping red. The cinching around the waist gives you the perfect silhouette and the off the shoulder sleeves have the perfect poof that make it a statement piece. Classic.

Extremely comfortable and forgiving

Comfort is always important to me. The fabric has some stretch, which is great for those of us with a bit of a gut. Would definitely rent this again!! But I think everyone will remember this dress on me for while… ☺️

The outfit is snug at the ribs. I could put the hook on but couldn’t Ip all the way up. However it held up well

I wore this dress to a fall cocktail attire wedding. It was perfect! The dress is a nice sturdy material and structured. I was able to go braless when I usually cannot! It was comfortable to sit and dance in. I am a huge fan!!

Super fun dress!

I am normally a size 4, but only a 2 was available so I decided to give it a shot. It fit but was super tight in the chest, but decent everywhere else. This dress is a beautiful shade of red, the sleeves are super fun, and I felt confident & beautiful all night! Absolutely lovely!

First RTR rental! I wanted something that worked at a casual black tie event. Right on point!

Pre-covid I was a 6/8. Designer size 10. Only the 8 was available, luckily it worked and it had a bit of stretch so was also very comfortable! I loved the longer length, color, arms, and ruching- I thought they all hid flaws! I received a ton of compliments and the RTR process was easy. My bust is 34b, this had plenty of room for a padded bra. Waist is 30", hips 40". I was most worried on the fit of the hips/butt - it was fitted, but not tight at all. Highly recommend.

Little Red Dress

Gorgeous red. Quality fabric. You need someone to be there to zip it up. The built in bra is great too. Only con is that the arms are restrictive so not a lot of arm pumping movements during dancing.

Elegant and well made

This is a beautiful dress. Nice fabric and great quality. You don't need to wear a bra; it comes with a corset. The sleeves limit the movement a little, so it is not ideal for dancing.

Elegant, stylish and comfortable showstopper!

I couldn't attend the gala. 2weeks before, I learned I likely had a state 4 cancer. A few days it was confirmed. I emailed RTR as soon as I knew I was going to the hospital; they refunded me almost immediately. The dress was in the mail! My hub brought it to me and I tried it on. While posing 5 docs walked in to go over a scan, which I did in the dress! Thanks for making my day, RTR. And rent this dress! It has a great shape and is very comfortable on. Plus you'll be turning heads all night!

THE COLOR, THE SLEEVES, THE LENGTH, THE DRAMA!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS DRESS.

I wore this for a brand shoot for my makeup business and it was absolutely perfect. I needed the outfit to be bright, fun, sexy but sophisticated. It was everything and more ruched in all the right places. Also, I gained the quarantine 20 lbs and this dress made me feel like a million bucks!!

Both the 6 and 8 fit well, but ended up wearing the 8 for maximum comfort.

I wore this for a salsa performance at a wedding, and felt just like the flamenco emoji

The dress fits well and does not fall down due to the built in structured lining. The sleeves were a little hard to do spins dancing where I needed to lift my arm, but other than that was really easy to move around in.

Derby Ready

Rented this to attend the Kentucky Derby. The dress was very structured on top with boning and I didn't have to wear a bra. It did need a little steaming/ironing before wearing. As many other reviewers have said, the sleeves make this dress! It fit mostly true to size, if anything maybe a tad bit big and long on the bottom. Overall I was so happy I rented this hot number!

Stunning Dress for Wedding Reception!

I rented this dress for a wedding and it did not disappoint! The sleeves really make this dress a stand-out and I got so many compliments! For reference, I'm 5'4", 135 lbs, 32DDD. I didn't have any issues with wearing a strapless bra with the dress, but it was slightly longer on me than the model in the photo (hit close to lower calf) but still with heels it looked great. I would definitely recommend and rent again!

Eye catching dress that brings on the compliments all night!

This was one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever worn. I was skeptical when others said they didn't have to wear a bra, but truly, even as a DD I didn't have to wear a bra! It was just barely the right fit so I'd recommend going a size up so you're more comfortable! I got compliments all night long! It definitely will make you stand out!

Perfect dress for a Christmas party!

So many complements! As someone else pointed out the fabric around the middle lays funny but it actually helps hide your tummy. Hard to get your arms high, so dancing could be an issue. The polyester fabric is a little less than luxurious but helps so you don’t worry about spills (dries quickly), doesn’t wrinkle easily, warm. I wear between a 2-4, mostly a 4, tried both on but the 2 was more fitted and was great. It’s a really great dress and a showstopper but comfortable and movable.

Showstopper!

Beautiful dress, good thick material, no need to wear a bra. Arm movement is somewhat limited though. Also, if you have to wear it all evening long you may want to size up, so it would be more comfortable.

My friends got married!

This dress is true to size and extremely fun! I wore it to a wedding where flamboyant outfits were called for. I am a slim but pear shaped person, and I love how the cut of the shoulders and ruffles evened out my lower half. There was also some well placed ruching around the tummy to hide any poochiness in the belly. I did have to get help zipping it up, and at times moving my arms or bending too much was a challenge, but nothing major. I love this dress so much!

Fit great & super comfortable!

I rented this dress for a Valentine's Day show & it was perfect. The dress fit like a glove but was also really flattering in the midsection. I am right in between a 4 & 6 but I went with the 4 so it was a little more fitted. I loved the sleeves, although it was a tiny bit hard to move my arms too much above my shoulders. Loved the dress though, wish I could've kept it!

Beautiful

Really great dress, made me feel beautiful. Has a little stretch to it, which is a must for curvy women. I liked the built in bustier; this lifted the bust and smoothed out any back rolls. The side ruching hid any pooch (I did wear shapewear underneath). I would rock this look again, such a fantastic dress!

Gorgeous and Perfect

I can not be emphatic enough about how much I loved this dress. I wore it to two Christmas parties and was very tempted to buy. So so flattering and definitely a show stopper. I felt like a movie star. one limitation is the sleeves. I was not able to lift my arms so probably not ideal for dancing .. i still might buy it. Curious to try more from this designer. Really exceeded my expectations.
