An on trend dress that runs a little small. I wish the skirt was a little shorter or had a slit. It fit tight in the waist and I'm glad I ordered a 10 as my backup size, since I ended up wearing that. Cute dress!

This dress is great for a summer or outdoor wedding 

This is a really cute and comfy dress! I think it works well for petite women because it is more of a slender cut so even though it was long on me, the fabric didn't overwhelm my frame. The dress hit at my shins vs. right above the knee as on the model, but with heels this is a great maxi dress option for shorter women! Straps are adjustable as well and even with the cut out, I was able to wear a strapless bra.

This dress was perfect for a summer wedding at a vineyard. I loved the way I felt in the dress. I knocked one star only because the fabric where the cut out was seemed to be off-center and I had to adjust it some throughout the day/night, but not terribly so. Would love to own this dress as I think it's perfect for a multitude of occasions. This dress is highly recommended!

I wore this for an outdoor wedding this spring in Texas. It kept me cool and was comfortable for dancing. It was a little tight under the arms, I considered not latching the hook/eye. I probably should have worn a 6 but it wasn't available.

Overall it was a great pic. I would wear it again.

I loved this dress, didn't want to return it! Size up, dress runs small.  

Got lots of compliments on this! Loved the pattern and the length, and the cut-away kept it novel. The fabric was also the perfect weight for a warm spring day. Like others have said, the fit was tight around the ribs especially when you adjust the straps to the right length, but as a short person it was already too long to wear without heels so I didn't want to go up a size. Not much support in the bust, and if I'd been much bustier it would have been an issue. Still, I was sad to see it go!

Fit exactly as it says it will. Very flattering in the right places. Runs true to size. Loved this dress. Wish I could keep it. 

This dress is so cute and modest. Great length and flattering for a 5'8 frame. The cut out is a perfect touch to make this trendy and modern. It has adjusted straps, is form fitted through the hips and then bells out slightly. I usually wear an 8 but the 10 fit better and not lose at all, could have probably also been fine with the 12 and would need it if you have bigger chest than a 34B/36A. There's not stretch. 100% would rent again. 

I loved this dress! It complimented my silhouette so well, and the cut out really made it more fashionable. The length was appropriate for a wedding and I didn't feel limited it in at all. There is a slip built in for lack of transparency. The straps were adjustable and I didn't even need a bra with it, because the stitching was so structured. 

This is dress is amazing I didn't want to send it back! It is snug in the rib cage so I went with the 6 instead of the 4.  

Wore this to a wedding welcome reception. Super fun dress that you can dress up or down. The waist sits high and it's a snug fit, I went up about 3 sizes to make sure it wasn't going to be too tight and look like I squeezed into it. Turned out to be a great decision. Highly recommend 

0 was a little snug in the ribs, 2 fit best; no bra needed! Loved the fit, super flattering and a good length for 5'3" and a 2.5" block heel. Wish I owned this! Could be dressed up or down!

I loved this dress! Very flattering and comfortable.  It did run a little small in the chest area. I would definitely size up if you have a larger bust! Would rent this dress again. 

This was my least favorite dress I ever rented. The fabric is lighter weight than I expected it to be, and even though I liked the idea of the cutout, the execution didn't work so well for me. It bunched together a lot and I spent the whole night pulling the skirt down so that I got the full effect of the cutout. It's true that you don't have to wear a bra, which was great. Overall, this dress worked well for a casual rehearsal dinner, but I've rented better.

Really liked this dress! It fit perfectly. I'm a shorty and I didn't think the length was too long, it was just right. Good print for transitioning into fall, could easily be warn with a tan boot. 

Just received this summer dress for a date later this week!  I think it is a very pretty color, pattern, and cut.  I am normally an 8 or 10 in dresses (34DD, athletic/curvy build) , and the 10 is a bit tight around the middle and chest.  I would recommend going up at least one size (maybe 2), and renting only if you are slimmer through the middle. There isn't much stretch to it.  That being said, the cut looks nice, and the cutout looks cute without showing too much.

Rented this for a dressy casual wedding and it was perfect. The size 2 fit like a glove with a strapless bra. The cutout added just the right amount of edgy contrast with the floral pattern. Length fell just below my knees which was perfect for a windy outdoor venue.

Very pretty dress, classy but with a trendy twist. The bust area is tight and below the cut out, I needed to go with the larger size for that reason. No bra needed and still supports a larger bust.

This dress was cute, feminine, and fun for an "expecting" announcement. I'm a true size 4 and the placement of the cutout didn't fit right, so I wore the 6. The difference between the two wasn't huge but I felt with the placement and no stretch the larger size was preferred. Wouldn't recommend for a larger chest. Would size up for backup!

Loved this dress. May buy it. One of my favorites I have ever worn! The top was a little bit tight, but not bad.

The size 4 was a little snug (although my normal size), but I had been celebrating/eating all day! I wore the size 6 and felt so special. The cutout on the front made me feel like I was still young enough to show a little skin, but sophisticated enough to say "I'm in my 30's". The mid calf length was very flattering. 

Dress is flattering and lightweight. Fits true to size. It has zero stretch so sometimes the cutout feels tight when you sit down. Fun to wear for a weekend in Napa. Would rent again! 

The body of this dress is pretty narrow and fitted through the hips; it flares out below the hips just a tad. Overall this was a perfect dress for a casual event. The peephole in the front was just enough to set it apart from other casual dresses. 

I loved this dress! It was great for a birthday date and would be a good option for a casual summer wedding. The ft was good, and the cut out wasn't too big. I liked the length and the cut. Overall would highly recommend!

Loved so many things about this dress! I'm usually a 6 and sized up per other reviewers, but even the 8 felt like I needed to suck in my tummy a bit. If I order again, may even go up to the 10. 

Loved the style and fit, received several compliments. There isn't much stretch, if I was renting again I would size up just for comfort sake. But other than that I loved the length, went to my knees and I'm 6'3". 

I rented this dress for a casual summer wedding in Pittsburgh and it was perfect. I ordered the 6 and 8 as I can wear both depending on the dress, and reviewers said it fit TTS. The 6 fit if I let the shoulder straps out all the way, but I knew I'd be eating a big meal and so opted for the 8. I was able to wear it without a bra which was awesome both because the front cutout would've shown said bra, and it's so rare that I don't have to wear one! The fabric has no stretch, but is super light weight, perfect for humid summer days. I wore the dress with a taupe sandal and received so many compliments! I also felt comfortable and pretty in it, and overall had a fantastic first RTR experience!

I got the 4 and 6 and could've squeezed into the 4 but I've put on a bit of weight and knew I would be eating so went with the 6.  It's fitted enough that I didn't need a bra (I'm a B cup) which was nice. I thought the fabric would be more cottony for some reason. All in all it's an ok dress but didn't wow me - that might be because I usually do more fitted dresses, since I'm curvy. I think it's not the ideal cut for a short, curvy gal (with weight in my stomach and hips), but, again, it was a fun change of pace.

This dress was great because it fit like a glove. I felt confident and received a lot of compliments. I did not have to wear a bra which is always a plus! The cutout design in front offered a fun twist on a more conservative dress. I loved the longer length with my heels and would rent this dress again! 

The dress was perfect. The wedding was very low key and so did not need fancy dresses, but I wanted to show up in something flattering that was also occasion appropriate. I got so many compliments and I ultimately would LOVE to buy this dress. The fit was a little tight as I am normally a size 2, but I had read previous reviews warning that bigger chested women (like me) would likely need to at least have the bigger size as a backup. I'm glad I did because it fit perfectly and I felt like $1,000,000. 

I absolutely loved this dress! The cut out was the perfect touch. It's a slim fit through the waist so your body isn't completely taken over by the length of the dress, which makes your body look slimmer overall! I rented the 4 and the 6, but ended up going with the 4 because it fit better through the chest.

I kept this dress for a month and wore it a lot over the summer. Perfect simple summer dress. Very comfortable and flattering.

Loved wearing this dress around the city for the day and to a birthday party. The flowy skirt was very comfortable. The waist was pretty fitted, and was a little bit tight when I was sitting down. I wore this with a strapless bra. Loved the breezy, midi fit and the cute 90s throwback style. Would love to rent this again!

Fit perfectly with no bra necessary- loved how fun and different it was! 

Absolutely loved this dress. The 0 fit perfect and I received a ton of compliments.  It was cute and on trend. The cutout was sexy but not too sexy for a work party event. 

This was such a fun dress to wear! I wore it to a shower and loved the cute cut out. It's very thin material so it isn't very forgiving around the stomach area. I'm 5'10" and it came just past my knee. Highly recommend.
