Holiday standout!

Rented this dress for the winter holidays and was so impressed. Super comfortable, high-quality fabric that looked absolutely luxe! Will definitely rent again. True to size in the shoulders, but it is a shift cut, so there is plenty of room for flexibility in sizing.

Stunning color and fabric! Such a fun dress for a winter wedding!

Dress exceeded expectations! I'm 5'9 with most of my height in my legs, but this dress was the perfect length, especially with of the high neckline. Glad I didn't go solely based on reviews, because I didn't want to return this one!

LOVE this dress! Beautiful fabric and fit!

I want to keep this beautiful twirly dress, but it's SO expensive! I don't usually wear this length, but I'm so glad I took a chance because it's beautiful! I am tall and 40+, so I'll probably wear tights with it (haven't worn it yet, but I kept it around for a future date). The fabric and color are so pretty, and the style is super cute.

VELVET PARTY DRESS OF MY DREAMS

Best. Dress. Ever. I am 6'0 and I felt so good in this short dress, not too short, not awkwardly long. I have said everyday since this event that it was my favorite dress I have ever worn. The high neck, the texture, the color, the material, ah I die. It's just soooooo good.

Perfect for baby bump!

Wore this to a work party during third trimester and it was perfect. Sized up two sizes from my pre-pregnancy size (could’ve done one size but it was a little tight in the sleeves) and got so many compliments. Not very form fitting, but perfect for feeling comfortable all night.

Perfect dress to see Hillary Clinton!

I wanted something blue to wear at an event to see Hillary Clinton. This dress was so comfy and had just enough sparkle to make it special. The 8 & 10 both fitted about the same in the body, but the shoulders were a little tight for me in the 8 so I went with the 10. Would rent again.

Got compliments all night!

Wore this for a ‘cocktail’ dress code wedding. I got compliments all night even from the bride! Easy to dance in. Fabric isn’t as heavy as it looks which is nice. Wanted to buy & keep it, but RTR was asking $240 which was a tad steep in my opinion.

Random pick that I really enjoyed!

I picked a random item every month for my membership and this was one month! I wasn’t sure about blue velvet but *really* liked this! Really pretty color that’s even better in person because it captures the light nicely with movement. A little heavier too which I actually liked. Would likely rent again!

Comfortable and fun!

This is a great dress for an event where you'll dance and have a good time! I wore it to a fall wedding; the deep color of the dress and its velvet material was perfectly in line with the venue, a 1920s era art deco theatre. It would probably photograph better in a brighter venue, but I loved it. It's not overly flattering, but not frumpy, either, if you style it right.

The color is UNREAL!

I got so many compliments on this velvet dress. I called it “electric blue” because it’s such a bright, pretty blue! I wore it for a work Christmas party and it was the perfect length that was appropriate but still fun.

Loved the great style of this dress. Fabric is just lovely in color and pattern. Perfect for a wedding during colder months - we danced all night and it was just long enough to be able to have a ton of fun in. Got plenty of compliments on it too!

Compliments all night

Such a comfortable, flattering, and gorgeous dress for a fall/winter wedding! I got compliments on the color and style all night long. I especially loved completing the look similarly to how it was shown on the model, with sheer black tights and close-toed black heels. If it bothers you to have the high neckline, this might not be the dress for you— but otherwise, rent it!!

Sassy and flattering

I rented this to wear to the closing party of a National Convention. I am far from my goal weight, but this beauty was stunning and flattering, and I got tons of compliments. I could have worn the 14 (my normal size) but wore the 16 for comfort. Would rent again!

Velvety fun for Christmas casual

Not a lot of shape but order size based on shoulders since they are pretty fitted. The way the dress falls is very flattering and a little swooshy. The color is amazing too and photos don't do it justice. Lots of compliments and a fun dress especially for the holidays.

Great holiday dress

It is very comfortable! It is shapeless in a way but the fabric and cut of the layers make it flow well. I am usually a 14 and the 14 fit perfect. It is baggy but fits like any swing type dress. I loved the color for a holiday party. You could wear gold or silver tone jewelry or both and it would match very well. I paired mine with black tights and black high heeled ankle boots and with it being very cold the velvet and tights kept me warm. I would absolutely rent this again.

loosey goosey but fabulous

fun winter swing dress! shoulders and arms fit perfectly and the rest was (intentionally) loose. great length for 5’8” and i didn’t even feel self conscious about wearing it to church for christmas. perfect holiday piece, and didn’t have to worry about how much i was eating!
