Loved the fit, especially since I was 4 months pregnant! Very comfortable, but beautiful for a barn wedding to show off my cowboy boots :)

I wore this to a museum gala for Bastille day and received tons of complements! It's so comfortable and easy, the cut is so flattering. I wore it with 4 inch heals and the length was perfect. I tied the bow in the back and thought it looked cute.

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding and it was perfect! The dress is very lose and comfortable and the ribbon belt pulls it all together to make it very flattering for any body type. I wore 3" heels that kept the dress off the ground and make it the perfect length. I added the a Kate Spade necklace and Chamak bangles and was complimented all night long. 

This dress was so comfortable and cute with heal or cowboy boots. I wore it to a wedding rehersal in Carmel, CA with cowboy boots. Would definately rent again. 

Absolutely loved this dress. RTR allowed me to select two alternate dresses when the dress I had originally chosen was out of stock in my specified color, so I ended up choosing this Elizabeth and James frock for a California wedding at a vineyard in June.

The dress is extremely comfortable due to the natural waist and tie, which gives it shape. I had no trouble with the straps falling down; however, I am taller than the average person. I would recommend this dress for smaller busted women as you really don't have to wear a bra with it. BUT, a bra in a dark nude color could hide under the straps. My only issue was with the length in the back-- I wore 3" heels and it still had a bit of a train. I was able to dance in it all night without any problems though! Maybe it was all that twirling...

loved this dress with the exception that it was extrmeely long even with a 4" shoe.  I decided to dress it down with a suede bootie and I got tons of compliments!

I rented this dress as a "back up" for my sister's wedding after she said she didn't want me to have to buy a special dress I would never wear again :)  I actually had this in mind for the rehearsal dinner, but after trying it on I changed my mind.  It is a beautiful dress appropriate for a more formal occasion.  It is long in the back, especially if you are short like me!  I wish I had bought the size 0 as a back-up.  I usually wear a size 4.  Because it looked looser I sized down for my back-up.  It fit.  I was able to wear it.  I think I could have even sized down, though, for a more comfortable fit.  For one thing, the sleeves kept sliding off my shoulders.  I do have narrow shoulders and the fashion tape that was included with my order took care of that.  Also, it was a little longer in the back than was comfortable.  That's why I didn't wear it to the rehearsal dinner.  I didn't want the back dragging on the city street!  It was fine at the wedding, which was outdoors, but I did worry about it dragging and snagging on a branch, etc.  Overall, though, I was extremely pleased with my first time rental and will definitely be renting from here again due to this experience.  I wanted to try this style and I was glad I had the chance to do so.  I received compliments all night long on this dress!

Was perfect for an outside Summer wedding! Fit true to size.

Great fit, could have fit a size 6 or a size 8 comfortably because it isn't restrictive and is very soft. It flows nicely, isn't too short of a front hem and got many compliments.

i'm very glad that i ordered down for this, it really does run huge. nonetheless, it's beautiful, sweet and subtle. (it did come a little wrinkled but i don't blame rtr for this, it's impossible to keep smooth unless you own a steamer!)

I rented this dress for an outdoor wedding and it was absolutely beautiful, it looks as good on as it does in the photo on the website. I ordered a size 4 and 6, but they seemed to fit exactly the same. I ended up wearing the 6 because for some reason it was shorter than the 4! It was still a little long, but fine, the 4 was so long it would have been un-wearable even in my 4-5 inch platform heels.

Flowy but flattering. Only special undergarment you need is a strapless bra, and even that you could probably do without if you're not really big on top. Paired it with gold strappy sandals and it was a hit!

Comfortable, flowy and super light weight.  Based on other reviews I was surprised the dress wasn't dragging on the floor all night but I guess I was wearing 3" platforms.  I used double sided tape for the sleeves to my bra so I didn't have to wear a strapless.  The 8 slipped right down over me, I probably could've worn a 6 which is unheard of for me, I'm a 34" bust, 28" waist and 42" hip and this dress acentuated all the positives.  Only reason for the minus a star is the belt came in a balled up mess, easily fixed with an iron but kind of against the point :)

Fit true to a 6. Con was stepping on the back of dress due to long length. 

The dress runs a bit small, so size down.  The material is light weight and had lots of movement.  This was perfect for a fall wedding.  The tie is actually a peach colored fabric and matches the straps.

This dress is bit on the big side, but I think that's due to the style of the dress.  The fabric is gorgeous and moves beautifully.  I was a bit disappointed in it because of the belt, which is grosgrain.  It's thin, so it made me look heavier than I would have liked.  I ended up pairing it with a thicker metallic belt, which made all the difference.  Another nice feature of this dress is that it's really comfortable.  It should work on a range of body types, as well.  It's definitely a good choice for a summer event. 

Not only does this run large, but the style of dress itself has a lot of fabric, I'm  usually a 6 and ordered a 4, but I think I really could have worn a 2. Even the top section of the dress was big. Belted it and it looked like a sack. I would go down at least 2 sizes unless you're particularly large in the hip/stomach area. 

The length is beautiful, though it will trail on the floor if you are short (I'm 5'9" and it was just barely above the ground in heels). Fabric and color are really nice, though!
