If I could have kept this dress forever I would have! This was the most magical RTR dress I've ever rented. Not only was the dress BEAUTIFUL with all the sparkle and the color but it fit me perfectly. I put it on and felt instantly beautiful and what girl doesn't want to have that feeling! The great thing about this dress is the fact it can accentuate your figure without making you feel your flaws are highlighted in any way. I have a little curve for my smallish frame and felt so comfortable in this dress. I also had concerns the sparkle fabric would rub wrong but it was fine. I wore this dress to a fall black-tie fundraiser was able to eat, drink and shimmy in this dress all night long. I would recommend this dress to anyone and emerald if the color of the year for 2013!

The fit was perfect! I worry about dresses cutting off my arm pits and giving me those lumps next to my arm pit. This dress didn't do that. The built in corset style flattered my figure and gave me a lovely shape. The length was perfect, I'm a short 5'3" so I thought it might be long but it landed an inch above my knee. I did wear spanks just to feel better but you wouldn't need them if you are a little less lumpy than I. The color is beautiful and for those of you who have worn sequined dresses before this one in my opinion isn't nearly as scratchy as most. The sequins are teeny tiny and really less damaging to the skin than cheaper dresses I've worn with bigger sequins. Since I live in Idaho it's still cold in February so I wore a form fitting little black jacket with it as well, which cut down on the scratches. Really my arms had no marks and I wore it for hours. You just need to have good posture. It was such a beautiful dress that I can't afford to own so Thanks RTR for the opportunity to have it for the weekend! LOVE IT!!!!

This dress is gorgeous. The color is a gorgeous emerald that actually appears less glittery than I had imagined after seeing the photo online. I received a ton of compliments and was very happy with my choice,The only reason I didn't give the dress 5 stars was the scratchy-ness. I used a protective lotion that is usually for use in triathlons to protect my underarm area, but within an hour of wearing the dress I developed red marks from the scratches inside my arm.

This dress is stunning, even more so in person. Photos do not do it justice. But if I could do it all over I would not wear it again. The fit may be perfect, but the sequins are so abrasive that by the end of the event I had very painful scratches all over my chest, side, back, thighs and even forearms from wear the sequins had touched my skin! They were still there two days after the event, too. Most uncomfortable I have ever been in an outfit EVER, and that's saying something given my love of sky-high heels.

I'm usually and 6, sometimes an 8 and a 6 fit perfect. Um, LOVE. This dress was amazing. Not recommend for apples but I thought it was great! Though I'm a 'curvy' apple (read hips). I got a million compliments. Was so great I wore to two weddings back to back weekends (8day rental) See 'dove' review as well I agree with her on all points.

This dress looks great, exactly like the photos. The fit, however, was a little big (size 2, the smallest size RTR offers). When I first tried it on (without undergarments), it was too big up-top and when I raised my arms, the ladies would pop out. Luckily, I was able to solve the problem with a very padded strapless bra. The bra also added some sexy cleavage! The boning is great and I never felt like the dress was slipping down. The only two cons: it is definitely scratchy under the arms, but well worth it. Also, the zipper is white, which is a little strange, and there's no hook-and-eye closure at the top of the zipper. Otherwise, loved it!

This dress is amazing! The sequin fabric has stretch and its very flattering. I'm 5"3 and the dress fell slightly above my knee.

This is a wonderful dress! It fits very well and is super flattering (even if you have a little bit extra tummy). I had some under arm chaffing by the end of the evening, but that's how sequins dresses go.

I was realy looking forward to wearing this dress to my friend's movie premiere, and was disappointed that it did not fit well and I couldn't wear it. I was able to get the 8 zippered up myself, but it was way too large in the chest area and required a bra--which made my boobs obnoxiously large. The boning in the stomach also stuck out a lot in three places and was not flattering. I couldn't get the zipper up myself on the 6, and when my sister zipped it up for me, though it did fit better, there was still a very large boob "issue" (maybe not for some, but I would not have been comofortable looking like a hooker) and the boning still stuck out. So, though it's a gorgeous dress, it was not right for my body.

I wore this to a party on NYE. It was perfect. Very glamorous and fun. I would say it runs a bit small because I normally wear a 2 and the 4 was a bit snug. There is boning in the top which is a little uncomfortable, but it makes you stand up straight :) Also, you will definitely need a push up with this one if you are small busted. I would totally rent this again, though.

Loved this dress and received many compliments. It's much more sparkly and radiant than in the pictures. I'd think twice about wearing it to a wedding because it's so attention-grabbing, but it was absolutely perfect for NYE. I wore with spanx, which really helped the fit. The only downside is that the sequins scratch your armpits (and your tights, if you're wearing them), but that would happen with any sequin dress.

Really pretty dress, I was so excited to get it but it was REALLY big on me, I had to put a bunch of fashion tape, VS bombshell bra, and a blazer over top of it. It definitly needs a tighter fit to work unfortunately. It was gorgeous though and the sequins are perfectly understated!

I had a black-tie event, and I hardly ever get those types of opportunities, so I knew I had to get a show-stopper of a dress. I'm a redhead, so when I saw this dress I immediately knew I wanted it. I rented both the 6 and 8, and while I could fit into both, I chose the 8, because it was just easier to zip myself and allowed for a strapless bra underneath. I felt very pretty, and I wish I had a reason to rent this again! I'm curvy and I am always concerned about appearing lumpy, but this dress had some stretch and was very flattering.

Pro: fun color, unique, felt sassy Con: rubbed horribly wherever it touched my skin (underarms, above breasts, etc.), the bustier creates a little protrusion where it falls on your lower abdomen (creating a bit of a belly that I'm sure was not very noticeable, but I thought about it)

This dress was my FIRST experience with RTR, and after listening to others reviews and sizing tips, went for my normal dress size. It was PERFECT! I wore it to the FX television premiere "Wilfred", which I was working as a production intern! Who says interns can't dress it up! This dress is so phenomenal and truly puts the spotlight on you. As a redhead I feel this dress POPS your best features (red hair of course!), and can be a hit on anyone! Get this dress!

This dress is phenomenal - wear it! My usual size fit properly on me, though I have a smaller chest. The corset is very flattering, and helps keep everything in place, there was minimal repositioning necessary during the night and I was never worried about the dress sliding down. The fabric has some "give" to it, which makes it quite comfortable even though the corset is doing its job. I'd note that the sequins can scrape a little bit under the arms, but it's a small price to pay for a dress this gorgeous. My waist looked absolutely *tiny* in this dress. The dress photographs very well, and doesn't look garish or gaudy - just a nice, glamorous sparkle. I'd note that it'd probably be easier to get into if you have a second person to zip you up -- the sequin fabric can make it tough to pull up the zipper on your own.

This dress ran true to size and has a stretch sequin fabric which makes the dress an even easier fit. I am 5"2 and the dress came right above my knee.
