I wore this dress for my engagement photos and it was just perfect!
I ordered the 6 and 8 size dresses for my engagement shoot. The 6 fit me better than the 8 (although 8 is my normal size). The 6 came with some water spots on the dress, but our photographer said she would be able to remove any spots in our pictures. The dresses definitely needed pressing at a dry cleaner to regain the correct shape of the dress- it should have a fuller skirt but arrived to crushed in the packaging. Despite the challenges above, the dress was perfect for my engagement pictures. It looked great, added a brightness to our photos and was perfect for the elegant look we wanted.

Unforgettable
I've rented several dresses from RTR before, but that was the 1st one I really and truly wish I could keep. It's beautiful, flawless, fun and classic. Heavy unbelievable silk material gives it gorgeous shape. The dress also has pockets:)

I wore this to an event in DC and people complimented me all night long! It made the event special.
This gorgeous dress fit me like a glove. I am glad I ordered 2 sizes because the 8 (which is my usual size) was too small and the 10 ended up being perfect. I had the dress steamed at the hotel before the event and this helped give it the full body & flare it was meant to have. The fabric is on the heavy side, but this gave the dress more character. I would absolutely rent it again.

Stunning colour
This was the perfect dress for a recent black tie event I attended. The colour is gorgeous, the material is luxurious and fairly heavy, and the dress was visibly of very good quality. The top, bust, and straps were a tad big on me, but it wasn't hugely obvious. The skirt has pockets, which is a nice touch! I received very many compliments on this one.

Couldn't wear it - Zipper did not work
As some other reviewers noticed, the zipper broke on the way down even though the dress fit fine. I couldn't wind up wearing it. But it was a beautiful dress!

Runs big, very well made
I wanted to like this dress. It was really well made and their was boning in the top for structure. However, the fit was very strange. The material was really stiff taffeta and felt like something a little girl would wear for Christmas. There were also at least 2 inches too much room in the top around the bust and waist (and I usually wear a 6.) It was also very long waisted. Finally the skirt was HUGE. Super puffy and stiff--too much even for me and I wear the full skirt Lela Rose dresses all the time. This dress is cool but order it around the Holidays when you want to make a statement and size down at least two sizes.

Not for Petite Girls !
This dress runs really large, and is long wasted. I was unable to actually wear this dress. Because this dress was a replacement from my original choice, I got it in a 4 in red and a 0 in navy (neither fit). I normally wear a 4 but the 4 was huge. The zero fit in the ribcage, but was way to long in the waste and large in the bust. You definitely need to be long wasted with a larger chest to wear this one. Also, the dress had lots of wrinkles when I got it and due to the heavy nature of the fabric could be difficult to steam.
