Fun but classy dress for a wedding
I wore this dress for a summer wedding. Pros - shows just the right amount of skin while remaining classy (love the cutouts combined with a slightly longer length to balance it all out). Cons - fit is small (I normally wear a 4 sometimes a 2, wore the 6) and this dress really works best for those with smaller tops and larger bottoms. The 4 fit my hips and waist just fine, but the top was wayyy too tight, and I'm certainly not larger up top (34B). The 6 was still tight up top but less strangling, but was actually a bit loose around the hips. I ended up wearing the bigger size because I knew I would be dancing. And that's another con, this dress is overall pretty constraining and it was tough to dance in.

3D geometric statement necklace
This is not my usual style, but I actually loved this! It paired perfectly with the Halsted Heritage dress - a fun take on the little black dress. I didn't realize when I ordered this that the necklace is actually a 3D geometric design. I actually really liked this aspect of it. The size was just right and the length can be adjusted. It wasn't so heavy that it weighed me down, but it definitely has a little weight to it - just barely noticeable. The only downside was that the pieces got flipped around every once in a while and I had to keep fixing it. I would rent this necklace again!

Fun variation on LBD
I felt so pretty all night in this dress. The fit was perfect - it hugs your skin but the material is nice and stretchy. The material is nice and thick, which means that it's not clingy despite being a little tight against your skin. It hugs you in all of the right places. The dress was very comfortable. I liked the lines that run along the material (zoom in on the model picture to see clearly). They add a nice fun touch to an otherwise fairly basic little black dress.

Flip Switch Dress

Usual Size: 2

Added a bit of sparkle
I loved this cuff. I have small wrists and often have a hard time with bracelets and bangles falling off. I did not have that problem with this cuff. When I ordered it I was worried that it would be uncomfortable, but honestly I put it on and did not even notice it afterwards. The design is fun and modern with just enough sparkle to be noticeable. You won't regret renting this!

Beautiful, comfy navy dress!
This dress was a hit! I got compliments all night and my boyfriend asked if I could keep it. I felt beautiful in this dress. The dress fit perfectly, although if you're on the taller side it might be a little short. I'm not super tall and I felt like I had to keep adjusting it so it didn't ride up my legs. It wasn't too short to wear to a med school event with professors and attending physicians present, but it was borderline. The length was basically the same for both the XS and the S but the XS was just a little bit too tight on my back side. I've used RTR several times now and this dress is one of my favorites so far!

Not Your Ex Anymore Dress

Really weird shape
I absolutely hated this dress. Did not wear it. The shape and size was just weird. I'm not sure who this dress is made for, but it's not me. I loved the material and color and would have loved the dress had it actually fit at all. It stuck out in the belly, making my middle look bigger than it actually is. The sleeves hit my shoulder at an awkward angle. Just all around bad.

Gorgeous color, classy yet sexy
I wore this dress to a friend's wedding. I got tons of compliments on it, even from the bride. The color is lovely, a bit more of an orange than the coral that I had anticipated it being, but still a great color. The dress is a bit sexy - tight fit with a bit of skin showing - but not overly sexy. The lace adds a touch of class to it. It's definitely a bit on the short and tight side and I was hesitant to wear it to the wedding since it was in a church, but in the end, I was very glad that I wore it. It does run a bit on the small side, but pretty close to true to size.

Classed up with a touch of lace
I absolutely loved this dress! It has an edgy feel but the lace adds such a nice feminine touch. It was super comfortable and great for dancing in. I could have worn this dress all day and been comfortable.

Great coral dress for a summer wedding
I actually loved this dress so much that I rented it twice, two summers in a row. The fit is somewhere between true to size and a little bit small. I rented two sizes since I'm usually somewhere in between and ended up going with the bigger size. The two sizes weren't all that different in fit except for at the chest, which was definitely on the tight side. This dress probably wouldn't work as well for someone with a bit more on top. Overall though, the color is great - not so bright that you're blinding your friends - and as long as you can squeeze into the top of it, it's comfortable enough for dancing.
