Strange Fit
I do not have a long torso by any stretch, but this was too short for my torso and ended up pulling once zippered. The top is super cute though, so perhaps there would be a bit more give if not for my hips? Not sure... Didn't wear.

Bold, out of the box pick - loved it!
I ended up in this jumpsuit after I realized the day of the event that it was a cocktail party and not a gala. Luckily I live in Chicago and was able to head to the store. Since I was there and the choices were a bit limited, I decided to try on a jumpsuit and fell in love with this trend! It was a bold pick for me - especially in the red but I felt great and sassy all night long! I'm a true size 8 and this fit like a glove. If you want to try something different I say give this a go :)

Even better in person
I was at a RTR store switching out a dress and these caught my eye. Looking at the pic I'm not sure I would've rented them without seeing them live but they are eye catchers. A bit heavy but not bad for a few hour event. Got lots of compliments!

Can't Say Enough Good Things!
This dress was incredible! Fit like a glove and I got so many compliments. It was sexy without being too revealing and I was able to wear a normal bra by criss-crossing the straps. It's very fitted, so I bought high-waisted spanx to suck everything which worked perfectly. I would definitely rent this one again.

Fun Little Summer Frock
I wore this to an outdoor summer wedding with a cocktail reception. Like the other renters have said, the waist band is pretty snug - though I typically wear a size 8 and wouldn't have gone up a size. To be honest, I'm not sure if this was the most flattering dress I've ever worn... The a-line cut combined with stiff/high-quality fabric made it puff out from the waist/hips (as my pear-like figure also does;-). However there was something about it that was just so fun, I happily wore it and got a TON of compliments, so apparently there's just something about this dress. That said, I would definitely make sure you have an extra set of hands to help get the zipper on this one up... It's super sticky at the waist band and was not the easiest to put on solo.

Beautiful dress on a beautiful night!
Very elegant dress - much brighter blue than in the pictures! I rented a 6R and 8R - there wasn't a huge difference in the two sizes. The 6R was more snug in the waist band, but the top on both dresses was looser than expected, so I opted for the smaller size and sucking in a bit for a cleaner top look. One thing to note, I used a LOT of fashion tape to keep the straps down and in place, just something to consider. I wore the dress with the BADGLEY MISCHKA JEWELRY - Crystal Cluster Earrings - which I thought were a nice change from the typical dangly sparkles.
