Really nice dress for a summer wedding but I chose to wear my first rented option instead.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I ordered a size 0 and 2 (I usually wear a 00) and both sizes seemed to fit the same. It's a really cute dress, perfect length, and has pockets. I ordered this dress as a backup to another RTR dress though and ended up choosing my first option because I felt more comfortable in it. I think this dress probably works best if you have a chest. I have a large chest and tiny waist and it fit just right. I would consider renting this dress in the future for another wedding.

I rented this dress for a summer wedding. I am consistently a size 0-2 and rented both. Neither of the dresses fit and couldn't zip up the size two at all. I am a 34B so I have a bigger rib area, but I wasn't expecting the dress to not fit at all. Such a bummer! Beautiful dress! Loved the tulle underneath.

This dress is adorable. It makes your waist look tiny and is really fun to twirl. My only issue is that the top is too big for a small breasted girl like myself. Needed fashion tape to fill in the gaps. Nevertheless, I got a lot of compliments and would wear again.

I wore this for my bridal shower and got TONS of compliments!!!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I adored how fun and flattering this dress was. I received so many compliments on how skinny I looked because of the boning in the top half of the dress. My only issue was I wore the size 2 (the 4 was surprisingly WAY too big) and had some trouble keeping the dress up. I am not super small so was surprised at how easily the dress fell down. I couldn't wear a strapless bra with it, because of the low cut v in the middle, so maybe that was my problem. Otherwise it was adorable and perfect for the occasion!

Sad it didn't work
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I ordered this dress as a back up for a bridal shower and could only get it in the size 4. I am pretty small in the bust area and have pretty curvy hips and this dress just didn't compliment my body. The flared skirt made my hips look bigger and the top was just too loose in the bust, plus the boning was quite uncomfortable.

Weird Sizing
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress for a wedding but it didn't fit. Thank goodness for my back-up dress! I'm normally a 2, but the other reviews told me that this dress runs a bit small, so I rented the 2 and the 4. I couldn't fit into either of them- for different reasons. The 2 was so small I couldn't even begin to zipper it. And the 4 fit in the waist but the bust was so large that the cups were actually folding over on itself. If you're normally a 2, and have a larger bust- you'll love the size 4. It is a cute dress. Very flirty. Great for a spring or summer outdoor event.

Top portion fit well and was cute, great color - the material is a daytime cotton, so good for casual events. I'm really petite however, and the skirt portion is really fluffy and big, and it swallowed me up pretty good so I wasn't able to wear it.

First, I would like to say I have had my eye on this dress for a while now, and loved the print and light weight material of this dress. But the top was so tight I was literally spilling out of it. Luckily I had a back-up which ended up to be perfect.

LOVED THIS DRESS!!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I really wish I would have taken a picture of me in this dress. I absolutely loved it. I think this might be one of my favorite rentals ever! The dress isn't much, but it was just incredibly flattering. I wore this to a brunch the day after a friends wedding. I wore this with a yellow chunky necklace of mine and red lips. I think it worked well with the bright punchy colors. The dress is a bit tight. The boning can tend to dig into your waist area, but like I mentioned above it really gives you a flattering hourglass figure. So I will put up with the pain for the resulting beauty it provides.

Loved this dress and how it looked, however, It did not fit. I could not zip it past my breasts. Being a 34DD I had not shot in this dress. Even with the size 6, it wasn't going to happen. So sad I couldn't get to wear it.

This dress was perfect for a country club wedding. The skirt has some tulle in it so it is full but not too full. The boning in the top is a little uncomfortable but means you don't need to wear a bra. Definitely recommend!

The 6 fit just right, but the top was never really flush against my chest. I was expecting some sort or elastic of something to keep it from opening. I kept pulling it up all night to prevent any boob incidents. I should have gotten some double sided tape to fit the situation.

The dress was very cute, but I was unable to wear it in either size. I got a size up as suggested in addition to my normal size, but even this size was too tight to wear to my friend's wedding. It was also incredibly itchy due to the tulle lining underneath. Fortunately I had a backup dress at home, but I was pretty disappointed that I was unable to wear this one.

I needed a dress for a cocktail party on a yacht and this was perfect! The shape is very flattering and the skirt has a bit of chiffon netting underneath so it didn't blow up in the wind.

Size worn: NONE
Overall fit: Small

I was so disappointed I didn't get to wear this my event. The bust was so small I couldn't even get it zippered. That's not usually a problem for me so I was very surprised. The color and print is awesome in person and would look fantastic in pictures! So so sad it didn't fit :( It's very light and airy feeling when you wear it, although after trying it on I could see how the corseting of the dress could rub and get uncomfortable after a while.
This dress is definitely for someone with a small chest. If that's you, rent it!

The dress has a beautiful appearance, and I received many complements.
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
The fit of the dress is awful! The size 10 was too big, and twisted around on my body, however, my breasts were completely smashed and the dress made me look flat chested. The wire in the dress was not aligned properly in the front...it ran along the sides of each breast which made them look even more awkward. The size 8 was a better fit, however it was just too short on me...the wire was still misplaced on it as well. The dress itself should probably be retired, the wires under my arms and sides poked me for the duration of the party. My stomach is pretty flat, but this dress made me look like I had a pot belly...especially when sitting. The dress looks like light weight cotton...and surprisingly cheap in person. This was a miss for me as far as comfort and fit. The color and pattern was quite pretty. The fit is simply put...awkward. I think this dress works best on very thin women with absolutely no curves.

Unfortunately both sizes were wayyyyy to short, I'm only 5'4". I am busty on top (34D) and this dress is probably more flattering for a smaller chest. The tulle underlay also makes the dress flare out and the zipper in back goes allll the way down. Cute summer dress, too bad it didn't fit :(

Not great for girls with larger than a B cup :(
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I absolutely love the pattern and style of this dress. I only got the size 4 as it was booked in other sizes so I didn't have a backup. I wasn't worried because of the stylist notes saying it was good for all breast size and was true to size (I'm usually a size 4 and a C to D cup). But, when I went to put it on I got it zipped up to my chest and then it got REALLY tight! I got it zipped but I looked downright cartoonish with my boobs pushed in and up so high! It also flattened them out in the front like a pancake, which was super disappointing. Maybe the size 6 would've worked for my chest, but the 4 fit my waist really nicely. Definitely get the size up if you are bigger than a B cup!

It's an absolutely beautiful dress, but it definitely runs small! Order a size up from your normal size for your second size. I wore a 2, and it fit me more like 0s usually do (tight, but wearable). I was also able to wear a strapless bra underneath it without it showing, despite the low cut. Also, I'm pretty flat-chested, and I think this dress would be difficult for bustier girls to fit into. Finally--it looks great with a big statement necklace (I wore it with a crystal one from Banana Republic).

First time using RTR so thank goodness I had a backup plan. I can typically fit into a 4 or 6 so I thought the 6 would work. I was going to order an 8 just in case but they were out. I wasn't too impressed with the fabric of the dress and the size just too small.

Fun dress but not for the well endowed
Size worn: 6
Rented for: Wedding
The dress was a fun color and fit for a wedding that took place outside under a tent. I was uncomfortable in the dress because I felt like I was popping out of the top.
