Love this dress!! This dress fit like a glove and was the perfect combo of classy yet fun for veterinary school graduation. I cannot say enough good things about this dress, I loved it. I would buy it in a heart beat!! Only problem is it is hard to zip by yourself. Don't miss out on this one!

Perfect dress for a brunch bridal shower!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

I am a bridesmaid for one of my college friends in July. We had her shower this past weekend. I chose this dress to wear! Everyone could not stop talking about the dress! I received so many complements I lost count! The dress fits extremely well, and the fabric is comfortable and easy to wear. I am always very self conscious wearing sheath dresses because I have wider hips. This one was perfectly fitted around the waist to make my hips lok fabulous! I will certainly rent this dress again!

Wonderful first rental:)

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

This was my first rental (even though I already had one planned for a bach party in Florida) and I was very happy! The freebies were awesome and it came nicely packaged. The colors were not as bold/bright in person, kind of looked like the dress may have been a bit faded however if you didn't see an online picture than you had no idea! The fit was great, very true to size. Perfect length, may run a tad snug for those with a fuller bust. The only reason I wore a larger size than I normally do is because I wanted the little extra room since I was the MOH and needed to bend/move more. In pictures, it looked a slight bit larger but I needed it for what I was doing. The dress got a little wrinkled by the end of the afternoon but I am very happy with my purchase! I'm hoping my sassy bach dress leaves me just as satisfied!

I'm nursing, and at the time of this review was 5'6", 128 pounds, and wore a 30F. I loved this dress--it was perfect for the daytime bridal shower I hosted for a dear friend. I loved the modern print, and the conservative, extremely flattering cut of the dress. I received so many compliments! I wish I had ordered a 2 and a 4 rather than a 4 and a 6; I am not sure a 2 would have fit my chest, but the dress was too large on bottom.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Other

TOP FITS NICE,BUT IN THE AREA OF THE BELLY DOESN'T LOOK THAT GOOD SINCE I HAVE SOME HIPS AND BEING WHITE COLOR LOOKS WIDER THAN EXPECTED, ALSO WHEN I RECEIVED THE DRESS IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED IN THE AREA WHERE THE BELT SNAPS IT HAD SOME TREADS THAT WHERE LOOSE AND I FOUND OUT WHY, WHEN I TRIED ON IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA IS VERY TIGHT TO ZIP THE DRESS , FINALLY AFTER I GOT IT, THE BELT WAS CONSTANTLY UNSNAPPING SO I HAD TO USE SOME SMALL SAFETY PINS TO AVOID THAT BELT CAME UNLOOSE, I GUESS I WAS NOT SO HAPPY WITH THAT SITUATION AND PROBABLY I REFLECTED, SO EVERYBODY NOTICED MY SHOES INSTEAD OF THE DRESS , IN GENERAL GOOD and PRETTY DRESS BUT I WOULD NOT RENT IT AGAIN.

Feels like you are wearing a watercolor painting!

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

This dress was incredibly comfortable, classy, and unique. The detail on the neck and waist make the dress very flattering. I got lots of compliments and did not want to return the dress! The stylists helped me pick the perfect size and backup size for my body shape since the size measurements did not match me perfectly. I ordered a 10 and 12 and ended up with the 12 because it fit better in the bust. It was great flying to a destination wedding without having to worry about transporting a nice dress. I have rented several times and this dress remains one of my favorite rentals.

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

Wore to a family Christmas party. The waist band snaps in the back over the dress zipper and if you eat too much, you might have to keep re-fastening it if you inhale too deeply. ;) Fits great; the fabric is like a stiffer luxury cotton blend, which I really liked. Love w orange heels but we were traveling and I was trying to limit my shoe packing to only a few pairs. I think I need to stop rolling my shoulders down in pictures bc it makes me look top heavy, which I am very much not.

It fit like a dream & the cut was very flattering. The only con I had is the belt detail has snaps on the back, and my Husband kept accidentally unsnapping them while we were dancing- not that big of a deal, but something to be aware of :)

Stands out in a sea of LBDs!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This was a really lovely dress. It was classy and conservative for a professional Christmas party, and definitely stood out in all the black and grey most people were wearing. The fabric feels very high quality, and the fit was pretty standard. The top may have been a bit tighter than other size 6s, but it fit perfectly on me with a thin bra (no padding). The lining of the dress was hanging down a bit, but tape was an easy fix. As usual, I got lots of compliments and questions about where I found the dress. Very fun!

Freaking gorgeous dress!! Like a work of art.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I put "runs small" only because it's definitely form-fitting. I didn't get to wear this dress to my occasion (it arrived late due to hurricane), but I have a feeling it would have been too uncomfortable for hours of wear. I don't want to suck everything in all night. BUT the dress is unique, gorgeous -- I loved it so much. Hoping to have the chance to rent it again.

Elegant Conservative Dress

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This dress is elegant and simply classic. If you need a conservative dress for a function, this is it. The waist sits high and does not give so be sure to accurately pick out your size. The skirt had a comfortable amount of room and reaches your knees (I'm 5'7") and the top is of average size--as in, if you are really busty, consider going one size up.

Perfect for a wedding

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

The dress was beautiful. It was tight around my hips and thighs, but I have big hips and thighs. I wish I would have gotten a size 10 due to this. The tags on the back of the dress kept coming up out of the dress as well, which was annoying. Other than that, the dress was beautiful and worked out great for the occasion.

Felt like a million bucks!

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

As soon as I first touched the fabric, I appreciated that this is a fine piece of clothing. The satin lining also felt very luxurious. The brushstroke design worked well for September, as summer transitions to fall. I wore this to a business networking cocktail party and received several sincere compliments. It felt a big snug in the bust when I first tried it on, but with a thinner bra, it was perfect. The dress was cut in such a way as to discreetly hide the bit of tummy bump that still has stayed with me since my last child was born, hooray!

Overall fit: True to Size

RTR is so incredibly easy and as a first timer, a great experience! This dress was delivered in two sizes. I am 5'9, 130lbs and muscular. The size four was perfect for my broad back. However, the skirt of the dress could have been altered to fit me better since it was rather loose. But not noticably enough to not be worn. The size two was too short in the body and rode under my arms too much. Overall, I was happy!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I received so many compliments at the wedding while wearing this beautiful piece of art. I normally wear a size 2, but since most designer dresses run a little small, I decided to order a size 4. It was a little roomy, but it gave me some extra cushion around the waist for the reception so that I didn't have to worry about a pooch showing through. The cut is perfect for any shape or size. The dress does run true to size.

it appears the dress may have gotten smaller with a wash, the lining was showing at the hem and pulling at the neckline. I recommend getting two sizes just in case you don't get a brand new dress. Added a belt - doesn't come with it.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I'm short, but with heels this was still a good length on me. It was tight at the waist and the belt kept coming unsnapped. It was also more of a cotton material, not shiny like it appears in the pictures. So the colors were not as bright which is why I felt comfortable wearing it to a more casual party.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this for a rehearsal dinner. I had hoped the colors would be a bit more vibrant, but they are true to what is pictured. I only gave it four stars because it wrinkles easily near the groin area. I wore it with red shoes and though it went really well together. I really like the dress a lot and got a lot of compliments on it. The length was great on me. It hit either right at or right below my knees. It was a tiny bit snug in the chest but I'm a 32D and wore a Victoria secret push-up bra with it.

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

Beautiful colors and a nice fit and classic shape, with an appropriate length for a family engagement dinner with my boyfriend's parents. The one thing I will say is the bust ran tight on me as the fabric doesn't have any give. I am an hourglass and typically wear a 6 in Tahari dresses, but I had to wear the 8 to comfortably clasp the attached "belt" (it's hook and eye in the back) and so I didn't completely flatten my chest.

Rented it for the church ceremony of the wedding and I was very pleased with the fit. I am 5'10" and it cut me off at the knee similarly to the picture. I wish it came an inch or so longer but oh well. Also I have a very small waist as compared to my hips and I had some room. There is no way to adjust the belt as it is sown on. It wasn't obvious to anybody though.

Rented this for a Rehearsal Dinner. It is prettier on than in the photo or even in the hangar. Great fit -- I have a straight shape. I don't thinnk it would work well on someone with curves/hips. Very striking and unusual -- received lots of compliments.
