Wore this dress to wedding in Central Park. It was the perfect color to wear for this occasion. It fit like a glove. Would buy this dress.

Pros: was very pretty 
Cons: runs small, I had to use tape for the boobs because the flap kept coming down

Such a great dress for a formal! I got compliments all night. It does run small (especially in the bust) and is more of a casual material. Great for spring time! I would rent again!

Ordered a size up for my primary dress and two sizes up for my backup, after seeing others' recommendations...glad I did! I ended up wearing the six, which fit a bit snug in the ribs but perfectly in the bust. Be warned that the crinoline is a bit itchy, so it might not be the best option on a truly hot day. Got lots of compliments!

Dress runs small, but bust was too big for me. Length was flattering and comfortable. Easy to move around in. A layer of tool gives it a cute poof look. 

We were all going to a horse race, Kentucky Derby style, so I thought the bright green was perfect for the occasion. It fit true to size, there is boning in the front of the dress so although it is a sweetheart neckline, I was never worried about it slipping. I received a lot of compliments on the dress and would definitely recommend renting it for a fun, summery/outdoor occasion. 

I really loved this dress! It was very flattering and the cut of the top made it a little sexy while still being cute. I had trouble deciding between the 8 and the 10 and ended up wearing the 10 because the boning can make the top quite tight. Definitely size up!

It made my boobs look great, the only thing is that the underwire makes it very uncomfortable to wear all day. No need for a bra but still a great dress!

What a great dress! If you're looking for something fun, fabulous, and not too fancy (the material is pretty casual),  this is the one for you. The color green is gorgeous and it looks great with wedges! I would also recommend sizing up...I went with the 4 and am glad I did. 

As other renters have said, this dress runs a bit small.  I usually wear a 4 or 6, but there was no zipping the size 4 over my bust.  

I'd like to point out that the dress that I received (size 6) is damaged.  The boning in the bodice on one side clearly started to come out & has since been repaired, but not very well.  The boning was sewn back in too low which caused the top to fold over on one side & the bottom of the boning pokes into your abdomen.  It was definitely not the most comfortable thing I've ever worn, but it looked great in person & in pictures (if I dare say so myself)!

Lastly, I recommend wearing a deep plunging strapless bra with this dress, if that makes sense.  The dip in the front center allowed most of my regular strapless bra to show pretty clearly & I spent a lot of time fidgeting, trying to scoot my bra down so that it wouldn't show.

It runs small, specially in the top area. I'm in between an 6/8 but I had to wear the 10 in order for the top to fit somewhat comfortably.  The color is stunning! The only reason why I didn't give this dress 5 stars was bc of the built in corset. One of the sides kept of poking me right at my underarm , it was sharp and I can see it was a problem for others as well bc the sharp part was starting to stick out through the dress. Aside from that the dress is lovely.  It was snug enough on the top that you can wear without a bra. Just keep an eye out occasionally that everything is still in place! 

I rented this for a weekend in NY. It was perfect for brunch and a day strolling the city. My only complaint was the boning. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4 and ended up wearing the two because the boning was sticking out on the neckline of the 4. The 2 was a little tight, but not uncomfortable. I LOVE the look of this dress and would recommend for a casual event.

I originally ordered this dress in a 6 and an 8 for a friend's wedding. The wedding was in an old warehouse loft that had been converted to an event space, and I felt this dress definitely fit in with the level of dress of the other guests. I didn't have the issue of being poked by the boning on the bodice that others had, but this may be an individual dress issue depending on levels of wear. I did choose the 6 over the 8 simply because I wanted it to be a little more fitted; however, going with the smaller size did put "the girls" on display a bit. My only two issues were it is very light and a little on the short side, so whenever a breeze blew by I had to check that I wasn't putting on a show. Also, when the dancing at the reception started I felt like I had to hold onto the top, not because it was slipping down but because my chest felt like it might pop out over the top. NBD, but something to think about. I didn't have to wear a bra with this, but did wear spanx. I felt like the fit easily concealed any problem areas, however, as it is meant to flare out a bit at the hips. Would definitely recommend.

I wore this dress to a recent outdoor rehearsal dinner and I received many compliments on the dress. I am normally a size 4, but this dress had very little give and was too tight in the bust area. Luckily, the dress is 100% cotton, so I was able to wear the dress a couple hours ahead of the event to give the fabric some time to stretch out. This dress does not have a hook and eye clasp, so the zip constantly fell down. I eventually had to use a safety pin to keep the zipper up. Great dress, but definitely order a size larger than your normal size.

This dress is very light material  which was good for an outside summer wedding. There was not much difference between the 6 and the 8. I decided to go for the bigger size so I could wear a bra for more support. For women with a bigger chest, I would stray away from this dress. I felt very chesty throughout the night. There is a "wire" in the body of the dress for more structure, which was poking me all night. It was a very pretty dress, I received many compliments and it looks great in pictures, however I wouldn't rent again. 

I ordered this dress in a size 2 and 4 but last minute the size 2 was unable to be shipped out. The size 4 did fit but it was a little loose around my boobs, I should have used fashion tape but didn't have any and it was too late to go get some. Very cute dress though! Wonder if the size 2 would have fit better. 

Loved the shape and color- the boning was a little tight as the night wore on (especially when sitting) but helped to hold the dress up. I wasn't pulling at the top like I normally do to keep strapless dresses in place. At 5'10", I was a little nervous it would be inappropriately short, but it ended up being just fine, even in heels. The shape and tulle was fun to dance in!

The bodice is tight, I am usually a size 4 but have wide shoulders and a C cup so I went with the 6. If you have a bust at all go with the next size up. The "boning" is plastic fibers wound together, I did have a few poke out and stick me near the armpit from previous wear but nothing some adjusting couldn't fix. Over all I loved the dress and would rent it again.

I'm a 34C and normally wear a size 4. The 4 was tight around the bust and the 6 was too big. I wore the 4 but it ended up being very uncomfortable as the night went on because it was so tight around the bust.  I pushed through. It is a very cute dress and I received multiple compliments. 

So many compliments (even from the bride) but will have your boobs on display. I'm not well endowed but the cut of the neckline sticks out so you can see into the dress. I wore the size 4 & the boning in the neckline is starting to come out & is sticking out under the ribs section so it left me scarred. Also the material in the skirt is not comfortable to sit on. So you won't be very comfort all but you'll never look better! I guess beauty is pain is this dress' motto!

This was a fun dress to wear on a date with my husband. It made it finally feel like Spring. The fit was great, I didn't have to wear a bra and I wasn't pulling it up all night either. You can tell it has been rented quite a few times. The boning is sticking out in some places and it got a little uncomfortable by the end of the night. Other than that it was awonderful little date night dress! This is another one I would like to have hanging in my closet.

This dress runs really small, I think it has something to do with the corset waist. I received my size 2 and 4 and neither one fit so I actually had to have a size 6 sent to me. The 6 fit great in the stomach but the bust area was a little big, so I had to tape it to keep it from falling down. Overall I enjoyed wearing the dress but there were a few flaws with it. 

Wore this dress for Mother's Day. Beautiful color and photographs great! Size up if you have larger breasts. I kept having to pull the dress up constantly due to too much cleavage.. Other than that, I loved it!

I wore this dress to a banquet and received so many compliments. The fit was flattering and the pattern was so fun! 

I love this dress! I read the reviews and decided to "size up" and get the 4 and 6 for backup, and ended up wearing the 4.  I could have used the 2, but used dress tape to keep the it in the right place.  I got so many compliments on this dress, I loved it!  It was very flattering and super comfy.  I would probably rent it again!

I wanted a fun bright cocktail type dress for a wedding we were attending in Miami. This was definitely a show stopper. However, I was not 100% comfortable in it-so ended up putting a cardigan over the dress for much of the wedding. My boobs were very much out there, this would have been better for a smaller chested girl of which I am currently not. 

I wore this dress to a summer wedding in July. I expect that the dress was gong to be a bit more fancy, but it honestly worked out great. I did have a few things I didn't like about the dress though. The boning was poking me when I would sit down and even had a but of it stick out through the fabric. It was a little loose in the very top, where I assumes others had the same problem I did of the dress slipping down and then having to pull it up. You could tell the dress had been worn because of these two things. I ordered a size 2 and 4. The 2 was slightly too small, the 4 was perfect  because I was able to wear a strapless bra with it. I loves the color and the sweetheart neckline. I paired it with nude pumps and they worked perfect. Overall the dress is great and I would certainly recommend it. I had a great first experience with RTR and will be renting again. 

This dress was perfect for an outdoor wedding. The cut of the dress makes it very flattering on the waist and neckline. The materials were all great quality. Would definitely rent again!

This dress was a ton of fun to wear to a summer wedding. The material is light so I wouldn't recommend it for cooler weather. I usually wear a 2 or 4 in dresses and wore the 4, the 2 was way too tight up top so I'd recommend sizing up for your back up. Otherwise the dress stays put so you don't need to adjust it throughout the night. It's a blast to dance in and received a lot of compliments!

The dress was a little big at the top and I did have to keep pulling it up, but to go down a size it was too fitted at the bottom.  This dress is great for weddings!  Be mindful if you are going to be outside in hot temperatures (I was outside in the Bahamas in July) the lining can get hot.  Overall I enjoyed the dress!

It fit perfectly and was a great length as it wasn't too short, but wasn't too long. There's tulle underneath the skirt which gave it some volume. It fit snug on the waist area which I liked because the dress stayed in place. 

I wore this dress to a summer back yard wedding. It was perfect for the event. Paired it with tan wedges and red clutch. I did have to iron the material underneath the skirt to de-wrinkle it a bit. The top was a little loose but, didn't fall at all. I used a sticky bra I got at target. Just be careful if its windy, I'm glad I had boy shorts on. Overall, great dress.

A very cute and fun dress! Glad I listened to other reviewers and sized up. I normally wear a 6, but the 8 was  the right size. It definitely is short! I never had any problem but was mindful of it in the breeze and when dancing and sitting. Thin fabric great for a summer event.

Lots of people said the fit was small, so I intended to order the size 6 and 8 (I usually wear a 6, but am pear-shaped and a 4 is generally a better fit on top). They had run out of the 8, so I got the 6 and 4 instead - it worked out because I ended up wearing the 4. If you're bigger in the chest (I'm barely a B cup) then a bigger size might be better for you, because while the 6 was more comfortable in my ribs, it gaped at my chest. I stuck with the 4 to minimize the gaping up top, and it worked out great! I added some RtR accessories, and all was well. I got a ton of compliments, and it was perfect for my friends' outdoor summer southern wedding.

I liked this dress, but it was a bit worn around the top. Overall, it was a great rental!

The dress was very small on me. I could hardly zip it up, but I only had to wear it for about 30 minutes for my senior pictures so I was able to tough it out. It's a really gorgeous dress and was the perfect length-- not too short but not too long. Loved it!

It's a bit snug in the bust, but if you don't mind showing off what ya got! This is a good dress. 32 DD and wore no bra with this dress. 

This dress is fun and flirty and great for dancing with the tule underneath (although that also makes it a bit scratchy). It's incredibly flattering and for the first time ever I did not find myself tugging at my strapless dress to keep the top from sliding down. I fit perfectly into the 4, but the boning felt more tight that what I'm used to so definitely opt for the bigger size if both fit.  Would especially recommend this dress for short girls--it was short and cute without being inappropriate for a wedding. 

SMALL fit. I'm usually a 2 and sometimes a 0 so I'm glad I ordered the 2 and the 4 since I ended up needing the larger size. Cheapish material, but it photographed really well. The outdoor photo best shows the color. I got a TON of compliments on this dress and though I wouldn't buy it, I would definitely recommend it.

The corset was very tight I had to wear the larger size that I ordered. I loved how flared out the bottom was, it was very fun to dance in. I paired the dress with yellow earrings and red shoes.
