Pretty bag!
It was a nice bag to use for a black tie wedding. It was a little small, so I couldn’t fit everything I needed it to but that’s okay - I made it work.

Beautiful, fun dress!
This dress was beautiful and so fun to wear while dancing. My usual size wasn’t available, so I sized up and it was a little big. Also, one of the straps broke mid-dinner at the wedding. I was able to tie the pieces together, but that was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. However, I loved wearing the dress and felt great in it. I received a lot of compliments.

Loved it!
I wore this for my friend's rehearsal dinner and loved it! It was sweet but sexy. I wore a nude bra , which worked well with the peek-a-boo lace in the front and back. As a tall girl, it was on the shorter side but I wore flats to balance it out. I didn't want to send it back - fit like a glove!

Loved it!
It was a really pretty dress - perfect for a wedding in Texas! I loved the peek-a-boo lace at the bottom and the cap sleeves. I didn't wear a bra with it because the straps would have shown and it was fine. I also wore flats because I'm quite tall and it is a shorter dress but not uncomfortably short.

Fun, flowey and light!
I really loved the print and the material of this dress. I wore it for a night out in a beach town and it was perfect. The low cut front and open back made it more “party,” while the flowy fit and light weight material made it perfect for a summer beach town. I would warn that anyone with a larger chest size might have trouble with the neckline. It was pretty loose on me but I’m smaller in that area, so I wasn’t necessarily worried about a nip-slip. Someone else might need some fabric tape.

Birthday Dinner
I loved this dress but the weather ended up being colder than expected. I had to pair it with a jacket and scarf, which looked cute. I still got a lot of compliments on the dress. I am fairly tall but it wasn't too short. The only time length was an issue was the front seam, which it raises up in the middle. I was expecting that, though, based on the other reviews. It was pretty tight but was a comfortable material so I didn't mind. Just make sure that you have seamless undergarments!

Fun color!
I wore this to a summer wedding. The fabric was a bit heavier than I thought it would be and it didn't really fit well - the medium was too tight and the large was too big. I wore the large because I figured it would be better for eating and dancing in. The color was great and I liked the fun slit in front.

Pretty!
The necklace was pretty and very simple. Went well with the bright red dress I chose to wear to a wedding.

I didn't want to send it back
I loved this choker! I wore it to a masquerade party along with a RTR dress. The choker was so fun - looked more studded in person. It was gorgeous though. I didn't want to send it back!

So much fun!
I wore this dress to an Alice in Wonderland themed masquerade - I was the Mad Hatter. The blue was much more vibrant in person - which was perfect because it made the black pattern pop more. It was pouffier than I thought it would be around the hips, which I also didn't mind because it made it more dramatic for my costume. I loved that it had pockets. I couldn't get a back up size and the 8 was a bit tight. It worked but I would have preferred the next size up. If you're bustier - try to get a lather back up size.

Loved this cute romper!
I'm pretty tall so I was worried about camel toe. That wasn't a problem in this romper but it is very short. The weather ended up being colder than expected so I paired it with stockings, flats and a sweater. It looked cute and I got a ton of compliments. The large size was huge - I was swimming in it so I wore the medium.

Great color!
I rented this for a wedding shower. I loved the yellow color, but like some reviews have said it has more of a lime green tint. It was very short, but I expected that and planned to wear flats. Overall, I loved this dress and it was perfect for the occasion.

Love the color!
The dress arrived and it was incredibly wrinkled. I had to re-steam it. The fabric was really worn out, but not noticeable without closer inspection. I also felt that the dress ran large. I probably could have gotten away with the next size down. Overall, though, I had a blast wearing this dress. The color was so vibrant, and the hi-low hemline was fun on the dance floor! I received a ton of compliments, too. :)

Loved the color and pleating!
I rented this for my sister's rehearsal dinner. I was the maid of honor. The dress was perfect for the occasion - great, bright color! The length was appropriate, even with heels and my height. The only con was that the chest was too big. I had to wear a push up/padded bra to fill it out.

Such a fun color and style!
I rented this for my sister's 90s themed bachelorette party. I usually wear an 8 or 10 dress but the 8 was only available. It worked for this occasion but I would have preferred the next size up. I'm very tall so it would have been nice to have a little more fabric. Overall though I loved the shape (racer back) and color (royal blue). It was perfect for a night out!

New Year's Eve was a blast!
I was a little disappointed because RTR didn't include double sided tape or anything -- and the neckline for this dress really needs it! I ended up buying some of my own. It's a little short, but thats the way I wanted it for NYE. Its a cute dress, overall, but taller girls should be aware that this is not appropriate for any sort of formal affair. :)

I loved this romper!
I rented this for my friend's 30th birthday party at a favorite pub. It was perfect! The romper was nice but had a little spunk to it with the ruffle on the sleeves. I'm a tall girl, so I was worried about a camel toe but I ended up wearing the medium and it was perfect!
