medium formal gala with older crowd

The perfect dress for my black tie optional library gala.

I was attending a gala as an honoree for my work. I knew I would mainly be photographed behind the table where I would be signing books, and wanted to keep my top half professional without exposing too much décolletage. As a visual artist, I also wanted something beautiful and interesting without a color pattern that might clash with my book cover. I felt this dress hit all the marks. The rich lace texture was gorgeous and key to hiding some body insecurities (upper arms, anyone?!?) I added fun fuchsia accessories (heels, bag, earrings) to keep my look creative rather than conservative. The dress was also extremely comfortable and allowed me to wear a basic nude bra without anything showing. I’ve been working to lose weight (down 20+ lbs!) and was’t sure what size would work. The 10 was a surprisingly perfect fit. My backup 12 wasn’t terrible either - the thick lace really holds its shape.

Beautiful Classy Dress

Loved this dress! It does run snug around the wait and arms. My normal size 6 wouldn't even zip up all the way. Size up! Otherwise it was very flattering and perfect for my husbands work Christmas party!

I rented this for a wedding in Lake Tahoe. I got so many complements and told my son's girlfriend about RTR - she was amazed and said she will be using RTR. Fast shipping, easy return process - will definitely use again!

Perfect casual elegance for a countryside wedding!

Fit was perfect, very comfortable. Wore a strapless bra to take full advantage of the shoulder detail but a nude bra would be fine. Lace work is unique and pretty. Heels were my preference but needed booties for terrain and weather issues.

Classic dress

I rented this dress for a bridal shower and it was great. It was an extremely flattering fit and quite comfortable, especially since I wore it all day long. I wore a regular nude bra underneath and you couldn't see the straps at all. I paired it with dark cherry red pumps for a pop of color.

Easy dress to wear, fun and beautiful

I received many compliments and I love the lace detail. One word of caution … The inner slip rides up if you dance too vigorously and over exposure is a real potential problem. I am 5’6” 159 pounds and the size ten fit perfectly.

Conservative and Attractive Dress

Loved this dress. I'm normally a size 2 or 4 but wore the 0R and it fit Perfectly! Loved this dress, the lace, the length, everything. I wore a strapless bra and silver heels. Definitely a dress I would rent again. Wore this dress with the NVLT blue coat with fur collar.

Very formal & good option for winter wedding

This dress has very sturdy fabric and did not wrinkle at all. The material does not stretch so make sure the sizing is correct. I felt comfortable & confident in this dress all night. I think it was a great option for a formal, winter wedding

I only just received this dress which I added to my unlimited order at the last second, and I'm so thrilled! It's really beautiful, fits perfectly and is extremely flattering. I could wear this anywhere- date night, a work dinner, a wedding or birthday party. Sorry ladies, I am holding on to this one for a while!

I absolutely loved this dress!

This dress for like a glove. I am short so the dress was longer on me than most but I actually liked that because it looked classy. It was freezing outside so I feel it fit the event & weather. I loved it so much I wanted to purchase it but the cheapest I found was $260 which is not what I want to spend. This dress will be on my radar for any future events.

Lovely in Lace!

Felt elegant in this dress. Loved the sleeves and how the lace comes down past the slip on the bottom. Be careful as the slip can ride up from sitting! I managed to fit into a 2 even though I gained 20 lbs! Was a little tight around the waist but I could've worn the 4, just had some gapping in certain spots so I stuck with the 2. Was perfect for the wedding I attended. Wish I could add more photos to show how I wore it to the wedding but I chose this picture since it showed the full dress up close.

STYLIST REVIEW

This dress fit great. It runs true to size, but you should size up if you are getting a back up. Super comfortable and great for any cup size. It is formfitting but not too tight. There is a comfortable amount of room throughout the midsection and can be worn with any bra.

This was the perfect fall wedding guest dressing.

I love lace, and the lace around the arms/shoulders and at the bottom of the dress was my favorite part of the dress. Did have to wear a strapless bra otherwise the straps would show. It was true to size, maybe a tiny bit tight in the shoulders when I raised my arms but I didn't do a lot of dancing so it wasn't a big deal.

Perfect for a Fall Wedding

This dress was gorgeous... it's made really well and felt great. The interior slip would creep up after a little while but it was easy to pull back down. Overall I'm really pleased with this dress and the overall rent the runway process.

Love this! Wear w heels to balance out the tea length

I am booked as a movie extra and I needed to attend a movie wedding. So I picked out the dress for a conservative Catholic wedding. It was perfect for my movie wedding occasion. I first had on flats but later changed to heels to balance out the length. Fit me great. Would wear w more pizzaz if I were going to a friends wedding or other event. Would be work event appropriate.

Lovely quality dress

I normally wear a 6 and the 6 fit perfectly. The fabric felt like good quality. I wore a black strapless bra and paired my Stuart Weitzman nude heels and Rebecca Minkoff light blue leo clutch. I received numerous compliments throughout the evening. My backup size was a 4 —which I could fit into but the arms would have been too tight to lift over my head. I loved the lace detail on the sleeves. The color is a true navy blue.

Nice thick fabric, beautiful lace.

I ordered a 12 worried that it would run small but i should have gotten a 10. Couldn't wear it due to it being so big. The 12 was about 2 inches too big in the waist and hips, which never happens to me. Comfy lace, pretty details, conservative but still interesting. Lined and thick enough to conceal any issues! Measurements in pic: 31in waist, 38 bust, 41 hip.

This dress fit like a glove yet I could still sit down.

Although it fit perfectly and I loved the color and detail, one of the comments I received was that the dress looked like my friend's grandma's table cloth. Not what I was going for. Definitely a more mature look.

Lovely dress - easy process with RTR!

This dress was beautiful and I received many compliments. It fits true to size. I'm usually a 6 or 8 in dresses - the 6 fit but was more fitted/body conscious - the 8 had just a little room for comfort. The dress is a dark navy but looks a little lighter in certain lights. Very classy - full coverage but the lace gives it a little more oomph. I first ordered a completely different dress (pink & frilly) which looked awful on me. RTR was super helpful - let me pick something new (this dress) and overnighted it to me so I had it in time to travel for my event! Great experience!
