Gorgeous but tight
I rented a few things to try for a wedding and didn't end up wearing this as I fell in love with another piece and the bodice on this dress was too tight to be comfortable for eating and dancing all night. I'm usually an XS in everything, including the piece I did decide to wear, but the XS here was just too snug, and it has no give. I think I'll rent it again some time in the S as I really do love the look of the dress, the pattern is gorgeous and if I got a size that fit a little better I think it'd be a lot of fun to wear.

Fun and bold
I rented this for a wedding but decided to wear something else, so wore this a few days later to a gala for work. I was a little nervous going so bold to a work function but everyone loved it and I enjoyed wearing it. I'm 4'10" so it's much shorter on the model and most people but for me came down to my ankles and worked with both heels and flats. It has some stretch to it and, at least if you're small busted like I am, you don't need a bra which I think is always a plus. Got lots of compliments and would absolutely rent again.

Fun standout for Mexican wedding
I LOVE this jumpsuit! I'm 4'10" so I look for items that are short on most women and this was perfect for my tiny short frame. The cut is very flattering, there is some nice stretch to it making it comfortable to both eat and dance in, and it's a standout in terms of style and color - I got so many compliments. If I could buy it I absolutely would.

Cute for work event
I rented for a daylong work event where I wanted to look cute but also be dressed appropriately and warmly. (Conference rooms are always cold!) I got lots of compliments on the dress - it looks perfect in a work setting while being unique. It ran true to size to maybe a little large - I don't have a narrow waist and it was still pretty roomy there, and I was hoping it would be a little shorter as it came to my knee which didn't create the best lines with the tall boots I wanted to wear. (I am 4'10" so this is a frequent issue for me but other reviews made it look shorter.) I don't know if I would order again but it did get the job done for the event to which I wore it!

Unique and Flirty Take on LBD
RTR sent this as my back-up when the dress I ordered was unavailable and it worked out great. I'm very short so I always look for dresses with higher hemlines - if the dress is short enough for normal-height renters to feel a little uncomfortable it's usually perfect on me! This dress fit the bill and with it's slight A-line it was really fun to wear. The lace detail is unique and sexy but not so sexy I felt inappropriate at a somewhat conservative wedding. One thing to note: I have a very small bust and was able to go bra-less, but because of the lace in the front and back, women with a larger chest will need to think through undergarments.

Gorgeous and great for shorties!
I'm under 5 foot so never able to rent long dresses even though I love them. I nervously went out on a limb for this dress hoping the fact that it's ankle or calf skimming in the back for most people would mean it wouldn't drag on the ground. And it worked! I got so many compliments and the pictures don't do the great rosette detailing justice. I felt beautiful and also had fun wearing it. The waist was a little tight but I have a very straight up and down torso so that isn't too surprising. I will rent again!

Pretty accents but way too big
I rented a 0 and a 2 for a birthday date and both ran way too large and baggy to wear. The shear back and lace details are all very pretty so it was disappointing.

Fun and different take on a gala look
I'm on the board of a nonprofit that does an annual "Blue and Green Gala" so I needed something in that color palette. This romper was so much fun and I will have a hard time improving on it at this year's event! I tied a green scarf around the waist to pull the whole green/blue theme together and got lots of compliments. One word of warning: I'm very short so the length wasn't an issue for me but I could see it being an issue for people who've cracked 5'.

Fun, sexy, amd unique!
This was my back-up outfit for a wedding, but the dress I planned to wear did not fit right. I was a little nervous rocking a romper as it's a unique and sort of out there wedding look, but it fit so well so I went for it. I got so many compliments and felt really fun and sexy in it. I'm under 5' so I was also so pleasanly shocked to find it fit my little legs so well. The only struggle was I had to go to the bathroom with friends all night to be rezipped into it!

Perfect if you want to be the sexy and unique center of attention!
I wore this jumpsuit to dinner and the theatre in NYC on my birthday. I like to push teh envelope with style so a bright red and uniquely constructed jumpsuit fit the bill perfectly. I'm under 5' so renting anything long is generally out of the question, but I tried this on in the Georgetown store and found it fit oerfectly with about a 3" heel. It was the day before Halloween so I styled with skull stud earings, left the neckline bare, and grey skull McQueen slingbacks, and topped with a cropped leather coat. My husband loved it and I felt both comfortable and sexy in my very cool jumpsuit all night.

Cute and flirty formal - though a little large
I enjoyed this dress, wore it to my fiancé's firm's holiday party, and felt cute and flirty but still work-appropriate. I did have to belt it to create a clearer waist as it ran a bit large. I had wanted to wear the 2 because the ruffled underskirt of the 0 wasn't in great shape but the 2 was way too big and the A-line was way too severe in the 2. Still, styled with sky-high gold-spiked black pumps and the black belt, I felt good and beautiful all night. We also ended up going to an after-party at some friends' house, for which I slipped into my Uggs - and I still got compliments!

I went to a wedding on my birthday weekend for the 3rd year in a row so I decided to treat myself!
I got so many compliments on this dress and I felt so sexy. My girlfriends thought it was gorgeous and my then-boyfriend-now-fiance thought it was really hot. I had a blast in this dress and will rent Herve again for sure!
