It was great for me because I am busty, but don't have the widest hips, but have a little bit of a tummy. It hid everything I don't like and accentuated everything I do! It is structured, so no spandex which made it tight at the end of the night after eating and drinking. 

I want to buy this dress. it made me feel absolutely amazing!

So classy and elegant. Numerous complaints. 

Having rented this dress in this color, red, and pink, I can say it is a fave of mine.

Pros: 
Elegant & femine 50s style
Flattering on petite figures
Can go from work to evening
Pockets!
Brilliant color

Cons: 
Runs small- size up
Very tight in arms (and I have bird arms)
Tight in chest (I cannot wear a bra & am a C-cup)

Love this dress, everyone loves it because the color and pattern is different. It is hard to bend down or pick up boxes in the dress. I wore it for work and was slightly limited in movement.

Chose this dress to wear for a red carpet event. Got a lot of compliments and loved how it fit. It was flattering for the curves. Would rent this dress again.

Great fit and color. Very comfortably and a flattering fit!

Wore this to a DC gala with dress code "festive cocktail." I went with professional colleagues so wanted to look classy but fairly conservative. I am 18 weeks pregnant so I sized up to a 10. The dress fit well. I liked that it had pockets. I felt comfortable for a fairly long evening.

I love the color of this dress and the incredibly flattering sleeves. It does "pooch" around my stomach and isn't the easiest to sit down in. 

Perfect dress for my daughter to wear to a family baby dedication during the holiday season. 
Appropriate length- great fit- stunning color! 

I rented this dress for a mixer that I had to attend. I got compliments all night! It was flattering and beautiful. The pictures really don't do it justice. 

The structure, the color and the POCKETS. All perfect. 

I enjoyed wearing this dress to a bat mitzvah. I am usually an 8 or a 10 but ordered a 10 with 12 as a backup, and wore the 10. It fit really well. I loved the sleeves and pockets especially, which made the dress feel even more comfortable. I also thought the color was really fun as I usually wear mostly dark colors (black), and the style allowed for a lot of jewelry options - I chose a gold statement necklace. My only complaint about this dress is that I am quite hourglass, so the pleating made me look larger in the stomach/waist area from some angles. Overall I enjoyed wearing it a lot though and would for sure wear it again!

This dress was perfect for my brunch at a country club. The capped sleeves made my arms look slim and the bottom was generous enough for my curves. I loved it and got so many compliments! Would rent again for sure!

So many compliments in this dress! The style is classic and the color keeps it interesting. Would definitely rent again. The lining is odd and a little awkward, but it did not effect the appearance of the dress. 

This dress was STUNNING and it fit perfectly! I received so many compliments across the board from family to wait staff and even on social media. I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and it was the best money I have ever spent! 

Normally I wear a 6, but lately more often than not I've been fitting into an 8, so I really wasn't sure. I ended up wearing the 6 comfortably. I loved the capsleeves, and got many compliments. The color was a nice dark magenta, and the textured flowers gave it a nice touch. 

So I ordered the dress in my normal size of 18 and it was very tight in my hips (mind you I have huge hips) the dress did fit nicely everywhere else including my chest which is also larger (42dd). I requested another size and did go up 2 sizes just to make sure it would fit for the event. It fit great in the hips and thigh, but was a bit larger up top. Overall i would buy this dress. It was so flattering and well constructed. 

I typically wear a 14W but it was too tight through my chest, so the 16W worked out great. The dress has absolutely no give, but is fitted through the chest and shoulders, then gives you a little extra room at the waist were it blouses out. The bottom is stiff, so when you get in and out of the car or have to take a longer stride, you can't - because it's fitted! It's not a problem at all though. The cap sleeves are a bit restrictive but I didn't have an issue with that either. And the compliments! I posted a pic on FB & IG - and I got comment after comment about the dress! It's a classy look without being stuffy or over-the-top. Loved it! 

I did not expect this dress to look so good on camera! The cap sleeves created a stronger presence, and the pattern is gorgeous! My only issue is that the band around the chest is not elastic and seemed quite tight (I have wider shoulders due to kickboxing) so it was hard to run my microphone up under my dress. But I'm planning to rent it again and also the other colors in this dress pattern. Just beautiful. 

It seems too big below the fitted waist. Very comfortable for a work event but would be a little too loose for my husbands liking. 

Loved the tailoring on the dress, it was immaculate.! Loved the color and fabric! But the lining runs small, felt like I had a built in corset. I would recommend going up a size. I liked the skirt, very comfortable and loved the pleats. It does have tight sleeves so if this is an area of concern for you, I would take that into consideration. 

Pros: Color, textured fabric, POCKETS, puffed sleeves, room to eat & drink, perfect length 

Cons: Limited motion (I literally couldn't pick up anything off the floor if I dropped it), no stretch in the fabric 

Overall...gorgeous color, worked perfectly for a couple hours, doubt it would be comfortable for longer than that!

Great dress!  Will definitely order again just in the right size needed! 
RTR did a great job trying to get this dress to me after a mess up with a previous order and sent this dress overnight!  Unfortunately, I did not get it in time for me to leave for the event and I wore the dress to church the next day instead!!  

Beautiful color
Classy
Perfect for church wedding, sitting, dancing, eating, and drinking!

fit perfect. not the best for dancing but so many compliments! 

The site will only let me give 4 stars here for some reason, but this dress was PERFECT!  I truly loved it and got many compliments.  The color is breathtaking and will suit spring or fall

A little tight around the arms as previously mentioned.  Pockets are a plus.  Wish the roses were 3D, but still beautiful.  So many compliments on the color and style.  Would buy in real life, probably in a 12 just to be a little looser around the neck/arms.

This dress was amazing. I wish I had gotten a better photo opportunity. I got the 10 without a backup size, thinking I'd be OK. I really wish I had gotten the 8; the 10 looked alright. I could tell it was big on my frame. I don't know if anyone else could. The dress fits a bit wide around the stomach area. But the pleats gather right over your tummy so this is the perfect outfit for stuffing your face and drinking a lot of margaritas at a "rehearsal" dinner! Plus, POCKETS, duh. The fabric on this dress is out. of. this. world. The flower pattern seemed to just lift off the dress. The length was totally appropriate and I loved the cap sleeves. Will rent this dress again, but in a smaller size.

I rented this for a daytime work benefit/fundraiser. It was very comfortable, beautiful texture, and very conservative. Would highly recommend renting this beautiful piece that you can dress up or down!!!

Fit true to size. Love the pockets and shoulder details. Sleeves fit me fine (did not run small as others wrote). Really well made. So many compliments. Will rent again! Hem line at bottom of dress is tighter making it hard to get in and out of the car.

I wore this dress for my best friends bridal shower and I loved it! Everyone was complimenting the color, fit and pattern! It was one of my favorite rentals

I opted for the 16w instead of the 14w because the arm holes and chest area felt a little tight, but I loved this dress and felt fabulous all night!

I needed a purple, jewel toned bridesmaid dress. This was perfect. It's flattering without being over the top sexy. The bride couldn't believe I rented this. The cut is beautiful, particularly the sleeves. The material is high quality and looks expensive. I'd rent this again for a bridesmaid-type situation. I could also see it as a great holiday party dress. 

I ended up wearing the larger size because the inside lining was a little too snug in the smaller size that I ordered. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a little too broad for my liking. It looks almost like shoulder pads, but I think I was the only one to notice it. It's a beautiful color, a little dark for so early in fall, but it looked great on. I was 15 weeks pregnant while wearing this so it accentuate my little bump nicely.

Had so many compliments when I wore this dress! It was a little snug around the arms, but for work I absolutely loved it. Will order again I'm sure. 

The fit was true to size. The detail made me feel like a million bucks! Pretty dress and shape was very flattering for my curves.

I wore this to my graduate school graduation where I had to give a presentation, so wanted something that was formal without being boring. Pros of this dress: it photographs really well due to the structured shape and a color that is vibrant but not loud, and it kind of conveys a don't mess with me vibe. I felt like I should have been litigating something when I wore it, or at the very least attending a corporate-sponsored cocktail hour for a politician at some metro-area hotel convention center. Cons include the fact that it looks better than it feels on your bod. This "sheath" dress means business and sitting down will feel like a chore. I was so desperate to take it off by the end of the day that I got changed in my car, but maybe it's worth the nice photographs and all the compliments. You be the judge.
