I really liked this dress, it was a chic princess dress, but this thing required work! I steamed every single layer prior to wearing it - took hours. 

This dress was a dream. Whimsical, classy & romantic. 

Overall, the dress was beautiful and I received many compliments. The fabric was defiantly showing wear and tear though. I ordered a 4R since the 6R was unavailable which would've fit better around my bust. The bodice material is not stretchy at all.

This dress gave me life. Wore it for my engagement photos and could not get enough of it, recommend sizing up 1.

Seriously I was so sad to return this piece, I felt like a princess.

I wore this to chaperone a hs prom! I think I received just as many compliments and had just as much fun as the kids. For my very first rental, it was definitely a hit!!

It is a beautiful dress but way too tight. I'm usually a 2-4 in size so I ordered the 4R (the 2 wasn't available) and decided just in case to order the 6L (6R wasn't available either). I'm so glad I did because I couldn't zip the 4R. I couldn't even zip the 6L on my own. My mom and sister both had to zip it while I held my breath! Also, the boning inside the dress was poking out so I had to use flat cotton swabs and tape them over two areas that were sticking me in the ribs. I had no other dress option so I wore it and don't get me wrong, it looked gorgeous and I received many compliments, but I could barely even sit down in it. The actual dress interior barely covered my butt too. Thankfully no one could really notice. I'm glad I got the Long because it ended up just barely touching the ground in my heels. Overall, it worked out. But I wish I had gotten the 8L instead!  

The fit was true to size. The slip was a little shorter then I expected but it's not noticeable at all. 

Daughter is 5'0", 125lb, 36A, and the 6 was incredibly too tight. I recommend getting 2 sizes larger than you normally wear. It took 3 adults to get it to zip up on her. She normally wears a 4. 

Rented this for my engagement shoot and love it and how it moves. The skirt inside the dress was a little short and kept having to pull down but love the layers of tulle. Dress was very dreamy. 

I loved the tulle skirt's silhouette! It was the perfect amount of volume without all the length. As other reviews have pointed out, the bodice does run small... I'm usually a size 2 but the 4 fit perfectly even with a strapless bra underneath. I just wish the back zipper had a hook and eye closure on top. Everyone loved my dress and I am so pleased with how it turned out in pictures! 

I am 5'8", 120 and the 2L was true to size. Fell down a little towars fhe end of the evening...im a 32D. Beautiful and fun dress, perfect for my wedding rehersal! I would rent this dress again. 

I felt like such a rock star at my work holiday party! So many compliments and made me feel so good!!! Highly recommend!!!

This dress was perfect for a winter wonderland holiday party! However, if I had rented this as my wedding dress, i might have been disappointed - the 10R came a little worn, with the bottom layers of tulle scruched together. The 8R was in much better shape and looked more like RTR's photos of the dress. I ended up sizing up, as the 8R was a little snug and I didn't mind the tulle being bunched (it made it look a bit more edgy!) If I wasn't attending a casual event in the 10R dress, I would have needed to steam the layers of tulle, and probably would have been more concerned about the wear on top. I got a lot of compliments at the party, and the dress is fun to pair with accessories and bright heels!

I wore this for engagement photos & I felt like a princess. The 8 was tight, but the 10 was too large in the bust, so we made it work. I love this dress! 

Wonderful and stunning dress.  I wore it for our elopement and my guests would not stop telling me how much they loved the dress. They could not believe it was RTR. It does run small especially in the bust. I wore a 4R but probably would have been more comfortable in a 6R. Otherwise I could not have been more pleased. 

I rented this as like my third dress for engagement photos (wardrobe changes plus two locations=4 dresses!) I absolutely love how this dress photographed!  It was exactly what I had hoped. I felt so pretty! However... there are a few things to be aware of! Many reviewers have said it runs small and they are RIGHT! They only had size 4 when I rented when I knew I probably would need a 6 by those reviews... I decided to try it anyway and wow it was tough and uncomfortable (but obviously worth it when I saw my photos). Let's start with the slip part underneath.... not only was it tight it was so super short - I think you can see it in this photo. You can't tell in a lot of the other photos because the tulle does a good job of covering it but definitely something to be aware of. The tulle is fabulous :) now the top.... ouch! The material is almost a leathery feel but not as thick and it is slightly off whitish, I liked it. BUT it was so extremely tight I could barely zip it up, and even then I don't think it stayed all the way up. I do not have a large chest by any means (small 34C) but my goodness this was tight and FORGET wearing a bra. This made me look a little flattened out but not a huge issue. The other problem was part of the boning had actually come out of the material and stabbed my ribs. I put a little bit of tissue under it and this helped. Sitting down for a car ride in such a tight dress was horribly uncomfortable. I wish I had the size 6 to try!!! 

Even with all of that said, I'm glad I went for it and wore it. My pictures are so gorgeous, and isn't beauty pain?! 

I LOVED this dress!  I felt very Carrie Bradshaw in it, perfect for my Birthday!  It does run small up top if you have a dress.  Luckily I ordered the backup size in a 2 since I could get the zipper up on my usual 0.  There are so many fun tulle layers and you feel like a princess!  The only downside was that the size 0 had a beautiful white satin ribbon edge on the top of the bodice and the size 2 did not have that, which was a bummer.  Overall though, I loved this dress!

I got a size 2L and a backup 4L (I'm 5'5", but I wanted to get a longer size to make the dress a little more gowny). The 2 ended up fitting better, but the zipper was broken. It didn't end up being a problem because I wore a strapless bra instead of no bra so the top would fit better and it created a little more shape.  The 4L was also whiter, where the size two was a slightly more worn and dim. It was exactly the look I wanted! It was comfortable and I didn't have to pull it up at all. The bottom is a little see through and the skirt underneath is very short. I knew this from other reviews, so I wore a skirt slip which worked out great!

I rented this dress for my 30th birthday photoshoot and the pictures turned out great! I ended up renting two sizes up based on previous reviews and I'm glad I did. The top fit a little big but the inner skirt was so tight it barely fit over my hips. This dress is not made for curvy girls. I'm glad I didn't wear to an event because I would have been trying to pull it down all night and keeping my top pulled up.  If you rent this dress just know that it's difficult for the top and bottom to both fit perfectly. 

I wore this dress for my wedding reception at an upscale bowling/bocce bistro. It was a perfect feel for the event which gave me enough formality to stand out as the bride but fit the fun, party vibe of the venue. The length was absolutely perfect for my height and let me have some fun with my shoes. The under-skirt is really tight and short, so I went with the larger size to have enough room to move, and it resulted in being a bit too big on the chest, as I'm small-busted, but all in all, I got great feedback and loved wearing the dress!

The dress runs small so order a size up.  This is a very cute dress for a day wedding. 

PROS: off white cream color is not too sterile white for bride. asymmetric waste is more forgiving. toole overlay is flowing and fun with many layers and a solid short skirt underneath it all. Great skirt length!
CONS: I normally wear a 0 or 2, but after the dress wouldn't zip over my bust, I went incrementally up to a 6R. STILL the bust barely closed and on the day of the wedding, I was stitched in to keep it from unzipping slowly. (READ: there is no clasp to hold the top of the zipper) Therefore, the dress was a bit big in the waist, and I was not breathing comfortably due to the tight top. 
One other thing: it was an outdoor wedding and for one reason or another, flies and bugs kept getting caught in the toole of the dress! Little black bugs are noticeable in the white skirt. 
Overall, I would give this 7/10.  

I. Loved. This. Dress. Everything about it is perfect. The cut the color the amount of puff in the skirt. I felt amazing in it and the pics looked awesome. I wore it to diner en blanc and it was perfect. I want to buy it but dunno where else I'd wear a white dress like this cos it was almost like a wedding dress!

Other women think it runs small, but i think its true to size.  Unless you have large breasts.  Otherwise it looks and fit excellent. 

I wore this adorable dress for my "party dress" at my wedding reception. It was awesome! Loved having the freedom to dance and not worry about my train or the weight of my wedding dress. The high low skirt was a cute variation of a typical strapless white puffy dresses. 

I wore the 4R. For non-busty girls, the 6 and 8 were just too big. The underlay of the skirt is a bit snug and doesn't give too much so be aware of that. Highly recommend!

The Dress was beautiful and a great fit ! I happened to order a back up size and both dresses looked different ... fabric wise ...and the way the skirt looked was different on both dresses ! But I did feel so beautiful wearing it !! 

The dress is Ivory color, and  I didn't noticed that and was expecting white, so I used a white belt but it's  was ok, that was my mistake! I have a 36D chest, I'm 5'5' tall and 164 lbs weight, and expecting a little miracle 8 weeks pregnant, showing a lot.
The problems I had with the dress was in my chest, it was a little short in that area, and I felt half part of my boobs was out the whole time and I need more coverage, so I kept pulling the dress up there. I couldn't wear a bra, because the bra kept showing up due to the top to be very short. Also the dress got a weak zipper, and it opened at some moment. So I don't recommend this dress if you got a large chest like mine. It was perfect in the length, and it was great to hide my pregnant tummy.  

It was snug, but I was glad it stayed up! No nip slips, and was a crowd pleaser! My chest is pretty small, but I wore it without a bra no problem (it was actually more comfortable that way). The tulle is SUPER delicate, so be sure to put it on barefoot. Heels can snag and rip the "under-tulle". Otherwise, it was the perfect dress for post-summer-wedding bar hopping. 

The skirt is really  beautiful. The top part is a tiny bit of worn-out. But overall, looked quite nice in my engagement shoot! 

I read the reviews and because everyone said it ran a bit snug I got a 10, but I wish I had gotten a size 8. I wear a 32D bra and it wasn't at all tight, in fact it stood out from my body a bit. Because I only wore it for my engagement photos it wasn't a big issue, but if I had been at a party it would have bothered me. The dress is gorgeous, it had a few snags but with the layers you couldn't tell. It billowed beautifully in my photos while sitting, and though it's sheer for most of the length, you really cannot see through it. 

The fit was definitely a little small- I wore the size 2 and I think the 4 would have been better!

This dress made for some magical engagement photos. It photographs beautifully, however I don't know about the fit for an all day/all night situation if you are constantly a "between sizes" person.  That said, I have a different body type (bigger bottom, way less up top), and if you really are true to size--you should be good to go, as long as you know that it will be a little bit tight. This dress ran a little small on me, but I needed the smaller size for my bust because the larger size was a little too big.  However, I was only using it for pictures so it was incredibly flawless. Would highly recommend for photos!

Size up if you have a big booty like me. Otherwise, gorgeous and versatile.

I LOVE the way this dress looks in photos but it did for a little awkwardly. I am usually a size 2 in regular dresses and a size 4 in bridesmaid dresses. This dress however I'm glad I ordered extra up! Although the dress ended up being a little big on top causing it to bunch at the waist, it was TIGHT around my hips and butt. There is no way I could've worn the 4. I loved the high low cut and ivory/ off-white dress color ... perfect for my elopement!
My measurements are 33 bust, 25.5 waist, 39.5 hips/butt

I rented this for my derby themed shower. I'm big in the bust (26FF) yet the two still fit and wasn't inappropriate. It was, unfortunately, long on me even with 4.5" heels. I'm 5'3". But I got so many compliments and didn't want to send it back! 

I have rented this dress in black before so I knew it would fit well. I rented it for a black tie holiday party, it was perfect!

Gorgeous dress! However, it runs small so I barely fit into the 6R. I would recommend going up a size or two. 

Okay, so when I first got it, I was like, "heck no!" This is not going to work. The dress will most likely come all crunched up. The tulle will be matter, etc. I decided to give it a chance. I took it to a dry cleaner who steamed it for me. After that, I was so completely happy with it. It's definitely short, but as long as you're careful, you won't see anything. Just check yourself when you stand up! lol. I wore it to my wedding rehearsal at a Catholic Church and the dinner party after and it felt totally appropriate. I would recommend no bra and duck tape!!
