Fun for a summer wedding. The color was great and the flowy skirt was fun to dance in. I was inbetween sizes with the 2 and the 4. The straps on the 4 were too long so flapped and fell a little bit. So I wore the 2. It fit great everywhere, but was a little tight in the waist band, and the material has no stretch. It wasn't to the point that I was uncomfortable. It was very flattering in the neckline & bust. I wore it with a regualr bra, but I think I wouldnt wear one at all if I rented it again, which I think I will in a different color!

Beautiful color, great movement to the skirt, perfect length for a taller person.   A little tight in the waist, and low in the front, but not too big in the top.  I'm 5'10", 155lbs, 34C, athletic.  Loved wearing and dancing in it.

This dress was so fun to dance in. I felt like a princess

Lower than I expected. But it worked. Comfy. Great material. Great color. I felt beautiful and sexy in all the right ways.

I got this for a blue themed wedding and ended up wearing it twice! Both the 6 and the 8 fit me, although the 6 does flatten my chest more than the 8. I love that it emphasizes your waist, so it made me feel like I have an hourglass figure. One issue is that it does flatten your chest some, but it makes up for it by showing cleavage. 

I loved this dress! It was a little tight in the waist area, but it opened up nicely. I loved showing off the cleavage, it is a deep plunging neckline. Super comfortable and really fun to twirl and have a great time in. One of my favorite colors too!

I LOVED this dress, it fit perfectly. It was light and comfortable for a good fit all night long - especially with a lot of dancing! Top is tight and a bit plunging and bottom is fun and flirty. I had a great time spinning around on the dance floor in it. I got so many compliments on the color (so vibrant!) and fit, and my husband loved the silky material. I think I'd buy this if i could!! Will definitely be renting this again. My only comment is I'm petite and small chested (tried to update my info but it's not working, I'm 5'5", 122 and a 34B) and this dress still made me look like I had a lot of cleavage to work with. So if your large busted, this may be a bit on the revealing side as the V is very low. But it's very sexy! 

The 10 fit perfectly, I loved the color, and the material (chiffon?) is perfect for a semi-formal wedding. I wore it to an outdoor Colorado wedding and received lots of compliments. Would wear again!

This dress is fun and formal at the same time. It's super flattering if you are ok with low cut. It's super low so you will need to wear either a special bra or none at all. 

Ended up having to take the bra off because it kept showing. Liked the dress and got a ton of compliments but it ran small but extra small in the bust. My 34DDs did not really fit well in the dress. 

The dress was great it fit well but was a little snug in the waste like everyone was saying. That didn't ruin the dress for me, it wasn't uncomfortable enough to make a difference. A great dress if you love to dance. Would definitely rent this dress again. 

I LOVED wearing this dress. I received a lot of compliments, the color is gorgeous, and it was very comfortable. The movement was fun - I was looking for a dress that would be good to dance in, and in this one I kept hoping the DJ would play more songs we could swing and salsa to, because this dress was made for twirling! The fabric was comfortable as well, I didn't overheat as my husband and I danced the night away.
I can see why women with larger chests have mentioned issues with the fit - there's no stretch to the material, and the cut is low enough that you need just the right bra if you can't go without. I'm on the other side of the goldilocks conundrum, I'm a 34B, and I couldn't fill out the top without a bra; even with a lightly padded one, I used a little fashion tape on my bra cups to make sure that everything stayed covered as I moved, bent over, etc. 
I rented this dress for an out of town wedding; when I tried it on at home and found the right bra, the straps were just covered by the dress, so I planned to use fashion tape to keep them in place. I wish I had brought a bra-converter clip with me, too, because the tape didn't hold the straps throughout the night, and while my bra straps stayed covered most of the time, a clip or cross-back bra would have ensured they didn't show at all.

This was a great dress. I initially rented it for a wedding and loved it, but it was a little too low cut for my taste and ended up wearing an alternate.  I wore it to a fun dinner with friends and it was perfect. 

The color blue is perfect! First dress I didn't have to put on over my head or step into to put on! The back zipper zips bottom to top with a bold silver zipper making heads turn as the back of the dress just flows beautifully with every step I took! The dress is structured to be low cut but still covers just enough! I didn't want to give this one back!!! Would love to rent again but so many other beautiful dresses to try too!!!

I've been wanting to rent this dress since it first came out online but I was worried that the front/chest area may be too open or may fit funny. I needed to go to the RTR store in NYC a few weeks ago, so I got to finally try it in person and I fell in love! It's such a beautiful dress - the color, the fit, everything about it. I wore it to my friend's summer wedding and I received so many compliments. The fit is true to size. The top part was a bit loose, especially if you have narrow shoulders like me, so I'd recommend wearing a strapless bra  - the dress wasn't fitted enough for me to go without one but I know people who have and it looked terrific. I also ended up wearing a nude color bandeau underneath and it still looked great (the bandeau is just a personal preference of mine - I don't usually wear dresses with cleavage). The dress is super light and comfortable but also elegant and feminine. I felt beautiful in this dress and would absolutely recommend it! 

Lovely. Had to go braless but it was worth it. 8 was too big in the bust but 6 was a bit tight around my ribs. I chose the 6 in this case.

Despite reading the reviews I was still surprised and at first nervous about the cleavage plunge. I tried wearing NuBra cup things but the venue was very warm and I eventually tossed those, but the dress still looked good. I felt the top was a little roomy for me, but overall it looked and fit well. The skirt was great and so much fun to dance in. I wish it had had pockets, as the fabric and cut could definitely have supported those, but it was otherwise awesome. Lots of compliments.

Wore it to a wedding, and it was perfect! I got so many compliments!! 

Great for dancing!  The full skirt twirls beautifully and was so much fun to wear on the dance floor.   But a full skirt is a full skirt, so if you're going dancing you might want to wear a slip - or undies you want to show off!  Fit was pretty true to size - I went with the smaller size (6) which is my usual size, because the overall fit was better than my back-up size (8).   Like other reviewers, I had gaping at the armpit (despite a tight fit in the bust), so I just twisted the straps over on themselves once, and that ate up all of the excess material.  It changed the look of the bodice slightly, but it worked perfectly, was comfortable, and I thought it looked cute (you can view my pic and judge for yourself!).  The twisted straps stayed put all night, but double-sided tape would likely keep them in place, if needed.   Due to the tight waist, I recommend a smoothing undergarment to help keep the material from bunching up.  And the bust is designed to show cleavage, so I used a plunging bra, and that stayed well-hidden.     Overall, I loved it, I recommend it, and I would rent it again (especially for dancing!).

The top was big for me, so I ended up pinning it, but then it was tighter through the waist. Pear shaped beware! All in all though, stunning dress and I would recommend.

I loved the color of this dress even more in person. It is the most fitted around the waist. I contemplated wearing the 6 for more room to eat cake. I chose the 4 as it fit much better in the top/bust area. 

This is the perfect wedding guest dress -- I just wish I had a better picture! The color is lovely, the skirt is perfect for twirling around to "Build Me Up Buttercup" and it's gorgeous without being too showy. It is pretty low-cut, but if -- like me -- you have smallish boobs that don't require a ton of support, it's fine. I wore it without a bra and with strategic application of tape. 

I also had to size down to get the chest to fit right -- I usually wear a 6 and occasionally an 8, but looked best in a 4. Since the skirt has so much nice flow, hip fit wasn't an issue. For accessories I went with orange heels, giant earrings and a shortish, delicate necklace, but it's so versatile -- you could definitely do a big gorgeous statement necklace too. I only wish I'd rented a cute patterned clutch to go with it.

I honestly can't say enough about how much I loved wearing this dress. The only drawback? If you're uncomfortable with compliments, it may not be for you. :) 

Rented this dress on my unlimited subscription, and wore it on two dressy occasions! My husband kept asking if I could buy it so I could wear it again. Great dress, very flattering. Might be a little low cut if you are busty, but overall it fit perfectly on me! Loved the flowy bottom and the bright blue color. Would definitely rent again if I had an occasion!

Very lightweight dress, perfect for an outdoor wedding in hot weather. A little low cut, had to adjust cleavage a few times during the night. 

Loved the color and the dress was the perfect, fun dress for an outdoor summer wedding. They definitely run small - I wore the larger of my two sizes and I wish I wold have got one more size up as it was tight on my ribs. I'm not super busty (small C) and was able to not wear a bra with the dress which was great. The reviews are correct stating that the rib/busy area is very tight but the straps are loose. It has an odd fit but I felt great in it! 

Gorgeous color. Amazing cut. Luxurious fabric. There seriously is not a single flaw with this dress. Wore it to my cousin's outdoor wedding. It was about 90 degrees, but the fabric was so light and airy, I stayed cool the whole time. Wore my regular bra (which added to the comfort level of the dress...no one likes strapless bras!) I will definitely be renting this again!

You need some double sided tape for this get up. It's a lovely form fitting dress. I looked great. 

This dress has a great color and a great cut - I wore it to an awards ceremony (cocktail attire) and was definitely dressed appropriately. I loved the little dip but I agree, the wire was a little strange though it wasn't bothersome. The hem on this flows beautifully and it was my favorite part. The zipper does go alllllll the way to the hem of the dress - just FYI! Definitely invest in nip covers though. Would rent this brand again! 

This dress was great for a wedding at a vineyard.  I received compliments all night long.  Unfortunately the 8 I received was damaged (there is a wire piece in the front area, that was missing).  Luckily the 6 fit (though it was snug to say the least!).  Anyway, the picture of the color do not do this dress justice, it is just beautiful.  I would definitely recommend this one if you are looking for a fun dress to impress! 

This dress was really beautiful and not too short (since I'm very tall). Only concern was it was very tight on the chest, but other than that I loved it!

I have a thicker middle and the waistband was a little snug on the size 6. But I am a 34D and the top fit me perfect. The top was very gappy on the size 8.

Beautiful cyan color. Such a great, full skirt that was amazing to twirl in.

I have a large bust and an hourglass shape, so perhaps this way just for me, but the top was very tight in both the 6 and 8 and was way more revealing than I expected it to be. I ended up wearing a cami underneath, which worked out really well. Still, I felt like the tightness of the top wasn't proportionate to the  tightness of the waist, so I didn't totally love the fit. Would probably be perfect for other shapes/sizes, though!

It was tight around the waist, but it still fit well. 

The color was even more beautiful in person; I'd describe it as peacock blue. The fit was super comfy and made it easy to wear all night. I didn't end up wearing a bra but did opt for some pasties because there was a slight chill in the air if you get my drift : )
I didn't experience any excess fabric issues or odd wire around the neckline as some other reviewers mentioned.
Overall a great dress and I got lots of compliments! 

I wore this to a black tie wedding and absolutely loved it! The neckline is deep and I couldn't wear a bra but had tape that worked perfectly. The neckline also has wire in the v so it maintains structure. I'm petite and was a little worried that the straps would be too long but it was fine. The bottom is fun and flirty and perfect for dancing all night. Overall I would absolutely recommend!

The top fit a little weird as several other reviews have said. I had to use fashion tape to hike up the straps so I wasn't completely falling out, though I did like the amount of cleavage once I did that! Love the cut at the waist and it was comfortable. Fun to spin in too!

I wore this to my bday dinner and received many compliments. The skirt was full and cut nicely and the color was an amazing shade of blue.  The top fit awkwardly as referenced in the the other reviews.  There where bulges by my arms although the deep v fit well.  The size four didn't have the issue but my chest did not fit so I went with the 6.
