I loved this dress!  It ran a tiny bit small but it was awesome!
Pros: great fit, super flattering, vibrant colors, POCKETS!
Cons: runs a bit small

This dress fit me like a glove and it was so comfortable. Another thing I loved about this dress was that I could eat in it and not have to worry about any bloat or belly! The flowers are more pink than red, and they are pretty bright. It's a really cool look against the black. I ordered my typical size and it was perfect, but I'd probably size up for backup if you're in between. I'm 5'5" and it hit at my knee. 

I got this dress for a major work event/fundraising gala. I knew I'd be running around all night and this dress kept me looking great, feeling comfortable, and even held my phone (#pockets). Got lots of compliments too. As an FYI, I have a big size difference from my upper half to my lower half, so dresses have to be very fitted up top and very forgiving on the lower half. This one fit the bill, although there was a liner on the lower half that is more snug than the dress appears - but it was nice and stretchy, so it wasn't an issue. I also ended up wearing a bra with clear straps because where it angles in just below the shoulder, my strap would occasionally peek out. All in all, another awesome RTR dress that I'd definitely wear again.

I absolutely adore this dress. It comes in at the waist and then the skirt part tulips. It has pockets! Also, the embroidery is beautiful and covers the front and back of the dress. I got soooo many compliments on this dress!

The fit was true to size in my experience! I LOVED that it had pockets and was generally very comfy and easy to wear. I didn't spent a second tugging down the hem, adjusting anything, fixing a bra strap, any of the usual stuff that can happen when you're dressing up. I got tons of compliments and the color really popped. Highly recommend. 

It's a perfect fit!! Even pockets to boot! 

I wore this dress to my company's holiday party. I received tons of compliments and felt very glamorous all night. The pictures don't do the fabric justice. It's a gorgeous, heavy material that wears well all night. The embroidery is exquisite and the red pops so well in pictures. I'm tall so I was concerned it may be too short, but it was perfect. The bust fit my large chest as well (38DDD). The best feature is the pockets... perfect for my phone and lipgloss! I hope to have an opportunity to wear this again. :)

The dress fit perfectly and accentuated my curves. I felt very glam and everyone was stopping to complement me on it. The dress is so beautiful in person, photos don't do it justice. The embroidery is amazing. It's a show stopper and it has pockets! 

For my pear shape this dress was super flattering.  Fitted top and slimming waist with a forgiving skirt.  The black placement at the sides was also super flattering.  The red flower embroidery made it fun and flirty for summer - it is slightly metallic though. I was worried it would feel to holiday being shiny red but with flat shoes I was able to pull it off for a summer soirée 

The embroidery in this dress is gorgeous but I think the biggest sell on this dress is how COMFORTABLE it is. The rest of the dress had kind of a jersey like feel to it, (a super well constructed jersey like feel). I think the main thing that sold me on this dress is I literally spent the entire evening chasing my toddler around (outside and on the dance floor) and the dress held up all evening and never felt like it was obstructing my movement in any way at all. I was worried about wearing black to the wedding because I knew it would be very hot, but I seemed to be one of the least damaged by the heat throughout the evening. I wish I could own this dress, and would definitely consider renting it again. 

This dress fit perfectly. I received so many complements on the color and embroidery. If I could purchase it now I would! Thank god for RTR!

This was a backup dress I selected when ordering a different dress for a Dec. 30 wedding. That dress ended up being unavailable, so RTR sent me this one. Honestly, I loved this one more than what I'd chosen originally. It was gorgeous and so flattering! The tone of the florals is really rich, and the stitching is super textured. Tons of compliments! 

I wore this dress to our annual Sweetheart Valentine's Dance. I loved the fit and could wear a normal bra. I recieved a ton of compliments. I would rent this dress again!

I'm glad I read the reviews. This dress does run a little small, especially if you are wider around the middle like I am. I wore my backup size 22 and it fit perfect. It was very comfortable and I loved the pockets. I am a 40D and had plenty of room up top. It does blouse out at the waist, so if you are self conscious about your hips, be aware of this feature. I would definitely rent again. 

This dress was so lovely and had a beautiful texture in person! It also allowed me to wear a regular bra and has pockets!

I am just on the edge of a 14, and the 14 fit but was a little snug. I wore the 16 for greater comfort and danceability. I was sad to send it back. Highly recommended!

This dress fit true to size. I love that I was the first person to wear the dress! So fun! The material is thicker and roses are stitched that make this a fun dress to wear in the fall when it is still hot out. I would rent again for a fun winter event but I would size down to a 0 so it fit better. 

This dress was a hit at work; got lots of compliments. The only two problems I had with it were that the chest area was a tad small - only to the point that it was difficult to get the dress on and off. Once on, the sizing was great. 

The second small issue I had was how short it got while sitting. I wore tights with it, but you could definitely see a lot of leg while sitting at my desk. So just be mindful of that if you'll be sitting in front of lots of people in this dress!

A dress to feel festive in! Gorgeous embroidery in varying shades of red that allow matching of various lipstick/nail shades. Embroidery has the potential  to snag on jewelry so have caution. Black panels at waist create slimming effect. Although a size 12, wore the 14 for comfort. 

Loved this dress.  Very comfortable and flattering. If you're small up top with larger hips this dress is a good choice. Plus it has pockets!

The material is thick but not heavy. The cut is flattering and perfect for my pear shape figure. The style and color stands out. Classy and very expensive looking, as expected. At 5' , the hem is just above my knee.  A little tight around the waist, but not constricting and emphasizes the narrow waist.

Runs large but great dress. Wore a smaller size that fit great

Loved the black panels, the embroidery, the pockets, everything!  I never wear this style of dress, with a more fitted bottom, but it was perfectly comfortable (though I'm glad I went with the 16 vs my usual 14.)  

This dress was perfect for Valentine's Day and the plans I had with my fiance! I wore the dress to the office with some flats and received so many compliments. The color is vibrant and the fabric is very comfortable. It even has pockets! The front lower half was a bit baggy on me, but the rest of the dress was fitted. It was kind of odd due to the extra fabric needed for the pockets, but I was told that it was a flattering look and didn't make me look larger. I then wore it to dinner and a movie and it was super comfortable! Perfect day to night dress!

I am 24 weeks with a big bump and I have a bottom - I went up 2 sizes from my normal size and the fit was great-the top has some stretch so it fit my smaller upper area and the bottom was not a stretch material but the size 4 was perfect for my pregnant figure.  I wore this dress with a suit jacket for a conference, but it could be a nice cocktail dress for a night out.  From the front and back you could see the bump but it was somewhat hidden.  However, if you are self conscious about looking a little big from the side - it does have a full bottom with thick material.  It did not bother me because it was comfortable and allowed people to know I was pregnant without the tight silhouette.  

It fit like a glove except it didn't fit on the back to zip it up . Going to try it in a bigger size . 

Runs small. I normally wear 18 in a dress. I was able to squeeze into the 20 but felt more comfortable in the 22.

Fit was great and comfortable. The black sides made the dress look slimming. 

I for one liked the weight, embroidery, and silhouette  however it did have a curtain type feel. Long love the70's. 

It's a pretty dress. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to wear it because my regular size wouldn't even come close to zipping around my chest.  If you are top heavy, this may not be the dress for you!

Maybe it is just me but this fit wrong everywhere. Also, in real life, the fabric is underwhelming and looks pretty outdated. 

 Really need to have an hour glass figure for this one - the waist was SO tight, it was painful. I'm more apple shaped, so while this fit every where else, it was just unbearably tight in the waist. It's a shame, because the dress is beautiful!

This was one of 4 styles I rented to try on for an upcoming wedding. Out of the 4 rented this was the only one that did not fit perfectly. Fit great around the bust but  it was too big around the middle. I had decide to return it and wear a different style to the wedding. 

This was too small for me in my regular size, and was completely unflattering on my body.  I absolutely loved the fabric, and was so sad it didn't work.

Dress was fun but pattern was a bit overwhelming, ended up not wearing it. Too bold for me!

Gorgeous dress.  Love the pockets.  Too small in the bust.

I'm normally a 16 in dresses, 18 in bottoms - I rented both sizes and found the 16 to be too tight and the 18 to be wearable. But the 18 was a bit too large on top and a bit too tight in the middle, so it was wearable but not comfortable. I opted to wear something I already owned, disappointing!
