This dress was flattering but still roomy and easy to move around in! The fabric is thick and draps well. The color is beatuiful- got many compliments! 

I typically wear a size 12 in pants and a 32C up top.

Very cute, comfortable dress for an outdoor spring cocktail party. Love the red and purple together. 

This dress was so comfortable. The poofy waist was very forgiving, and the fabric felt nice and thick. People commented on the colors all night!

This dress has an amazing fit. I rented it because it looks so great on everyone who posted photos. It fit me well, and was easy to wear. The fabric has the perfect amount of structure to suppor the dress style.  And the color looked good in all the photos.  I recieved lots of  complments on this dress.  Completely happy with this choice. 

This dress was perfect. Size worked well. Pockets were a big bonus. Colors worked well for a holiday party. Many compliments throughout the night.  I'm 5'5" 148 34D and the 8 fit perfect. Not too tight. Very easy to dance in 

Fit is great.  Has flare but it doesn't bulge out too much.  I loved this dress!

The fit was great for a curvy, womanly figure, with room for ample hips, butt, and thighs without over-emphasizing them.  Colors were gorgeous -- photos do not do it justice!

great fit, beautiful colors, wore to Indian wedding event! would wear again if i owned the dress 

I rented the dress for a bridal shower on a hot day in July. I was a bit worried that it would be too hot but because most of the dress was loose the heat wasn't a problem. It hid my stomach completely which is exactly what I needed. I loved the pockets I could carry my phone and car keys easily. I was so comfortable the entire day even when running around with setup of the shower. The top was a little tight because I am a 38G but with an unlined bra it worked well.

This dress is phenomenal. It is true to size and forgiving for all those bustier ladies. It is so flattering in all he right places. TONS of complements. I thought the colors might not be perfect for a summer wedding in Portland but it worked out beautifully outdoors with the sun. Paired it with a gold necklace and the best RTR earrings. Truly a must get! 

I LOVED this dress - the colors were absolutely stunning and it had pockets! I received compliments all night long. I did end up wearing a strapless bra with the dress, which I wasn't expecting to have to do, but it was worth it to make sure my bra wasn't exposed.

Fit was great and extremely comfortable! I'm tall and the length was great. I probably could have worn a 6. Pockets were perfect 

Functional details that made this dress a huge success: pockets, bra strap snaps ( held bra strap in place) and fabric that was thick and heavy enough to not budge for breeze or cling to jelly rolls. 

Beautiful design and cut. Flattering for busty gals that don't want to fall out. I wanted to stand out without unwanted attention. It was also comfortable to wear not too tight or short. I felt it was very feminine and bold. 

The fit was perfect. Because of the cut, I could wear a regular bra. The fabric is thick and feels expensive. The color is beautiful, both the purple and red stand out. I'm 5' 2" and I felt the length was perfect. The pockets were great but not as big as I've had with other dresses, I felt like my iPhone would fall out at times (it didn't). Received MANY compliments and my husband said the next day at work EVERYONE was commenting on my dress! Overall, it was a hit!

The fit was awesome! There was still a little room in the bust for me on the 4 but nothing that a thicker bra couldn't help with (and nothing that I was surprised about given my size!). I loved the "bubble" on the bottom because it felt loose and wasn't too form-fitted, but it wasn't too much flare so it was still flattering. The fabric was perfect -not too thick but not thin- and the pockets were fun. It was the perfect dress for the event, and I loved wearing it. In a room full of very fashionable people, I felt like it was a great match but still was fun with the gorgeous colors and unique shape.

This dress is super flattering and very comfy. It even has pockets! I wore it to a warm weather destination wedding in Palm Springs (I also wore the blue version of this dress to an afternoon garden wedding in Florida), and the color and shape were perfect for that occasion. I received a ton of compliments on the color and fabric of the dress, which are very expensive and rich looking.  The vibrancy of the colors is really fun.  The dress fits true to size in the bust, and then is super roomy through the thighs, so it would be perfect for pear shapes. I normally stick to more sheath silhouettes, but gave this dress a chance, and I am glad I did!  

This dress was beautiful. The colors in person simply pop. I received complements all night long. The dress runs slightly on the small side up top. I typically wear a 16 because my hips and my top half is smaller but in this dress I was more comfortable in the 18. Typically an 18 would be too big up top. I really could have kept the 16 on and it would have worked too. But with dancing and such I wanted it a bit looser. Love love this dress and may even rent it again! 

Really beautiful pattern and material. I wish this photo had been taken with a flash, because the colors are so beautiful. I loved the red and purple combo. The dress was really complimenting and comfortable. I rented the black & silver version of this same dress in a 10, which fit much better, but the 12 was fine, too. Overall, I'll definitely continue renting other dresses by this designer. Thanks!

I'm bigger at the bottom so this was really flattering to my body shape


This is one of my favorite RTR so far. This material is amazing and a well made dress. I wore this for a baby shower during a fall day with tan pumps...and it was perfect and would also be great for a cocktail event. It's so versatile! It has pockets, and is tailored to make you feel feminine. I stated it ran large as there was a lot of extra space, but not too large that it felt awkward. I will definitely rent this one again!

Beautiful. I guess there&#39;s no give in the material. I am considering renting. Thanks for the info. We look to be about the same size.

This dress was a hit and just as nice in person as in the photo. This was my second RTR experience and I rented two dresses for a day and evening event. This dress was perfect for a purple themed affair. I will rent again and again. The only challenge was the zipper. Took two people to get me in it again :(

Loved this dress. Anything cocktail w pockets is a win for me. Bonus is it is figure flattering 

So many compliments on this dress. The fabric was so pretty and stunning in person. 
However, there is no stretch so someone like me with a full bust it was a little tight up top. Over all amazing and I would rent again! 

Very comfy, loved the side pockets! Quality Dress!!!definitely impressed!

I am 5'2" with a large chest (32G) so it is difficult finding dresses that are large enough on top but not too long.  The cut gave me an hourglass figure while minimizing my imperfections.  The material is thick and has a sheen without being flashy. I added a belt to break up the print and got compliments all day long!  I highly recommend this dress!

This dress was amazing! Fit to a T. The colors were amazing. I received a TON of compliments.  It was just the right length, coverage and I never worried through the night about anything showing or fidgeting in the dress. OH and don't forget the pockets...loved that!

I wore this to a Valentine's Day non-profit fundraiser. I got tons of compliments. I ordered a 10 and 12, both fit but I liked that the 10 was more fitted. The pockets were a nice bonus! Really pretty colors in person!

I wore this dress to a company Christmas party. The fit was as described and true to form. I had a little extra space in the bust area, but I always do. The dress is extremely comfortable and hides any imperfections well. I got compliments on the dress and how great I looked in it all night long. Would definitely rent this one again.

Wore it for a wedding, added a belt that helped to conch it nicely. I'm a big 6, so this fit me perfectly.

I wore this dress to a wedding where I was meeting a lot of my dates family for the first time.  It was very cute fun appropriate and friendly so it perfectly fit the occasion.  I got compliments and the colors are beautiful.  It photographs very nicely.  I wore it with black pumps during the day and tan for the party as they were more comfortable, and both worked well.  My only complaint is the fit around the armpit and front of my shoulders was tight.  I am a bit muscular but it did get to be uncomfortable.  However the dress was a hit and my friends all asked to borrow it!

The dress fit perfectly around my breasts and I loved the little bra strap holders. It was a fairly weighty dress, though not HEAVY. I am only 5'1", so this dress fell to my knees. If it had been mine, I would have hemmed it one or two inches, but it was still totally fine. I got many compliments. The color is very beautiful.

I run between a 4 and a 6 on most dresses and the 4 ended up fitting perfectly. I have a pretty large bust for my height, so the dress was a tad snug on my upper body but the dress was comfortable and it has pockets! I was worried that the color of the dress might be too much but it's much less bright in person. I definitely recommend it! This dress was also my back up (same dress but different color). RTR did an amazing job of taking care of me and making sure I got a new one in time. 

Love the pockets!  Not the most flattering in a still photo, but felt it looked better in person.

This dress was great for a fall wedding! The tulip shape made it a great dress for a long night, it never felt tight around the middle. I also love anything that has pockets so this dress was amazing. I would absolutely rent again in a heartbeat, nothing but compliments all night. Slightly tight around the arms, but I had worn a smaller size for the chest and waist, so it wasn't surprising - and ultimately was not uncomfortable. Highly recommend! 

The top is tight but the 2 fit just fine. The fabric is gorgeous and perfect for fall. It's a very elegant, classy dress and I got a ton of complements. And let's not forget the pockets! I loooooove pockets! It would have been great if it was about an inch shorter (because I'm short!) but regardless the knee length look gave it some major class! Pair with simple shoes and don't be afraid to bling it up with the jewelry. I rented a cuff and earrings that fit perfectly with the dress. 

It was a little longer than expected based off the model photo, but all in all an incredibly flattering dress. The colors were amazing and it has pockets to boot!! Would rent again for sure. 

This dress fits true to size, but was a tad loose at the waistline. So I added a belt and it worked perfectly with the dress and my accessories. It's not heavy at all and the quality of the dress is impeccable. The fabric of the dress has a sheen to it. So it made the dress seem even fancier. I received compliments all night. If you have a fall event or gala coming up, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be renting this dress again!  

I wore this dress for an Emmys after party.  The colors were great and really popped when the flash was used in pictures.  I feel like this dress runs small on top but I have a larger chest and rib cage.  It smashed my boobs down but you can't really tell in pictures (but you could feel it).  The skirt was just full enough to give it some shape and not make you feel like you need to suck in all night, and it has pockets!  I wore it with a strapless bra just so I didn't run the risk of a bra strap popping too far out, but a regular bra would probably work too.  I got lots of compliments all night!

Wore this to formal brunch and an opera matinee in NYC. Got compliments all day. Gorgeous colors, beautiful fabric. True to size. The arm holes gap a little oddly, but nothing major. Was comfortable and pockets are always a plus! Will rent again! 

I went a bit out of my comfort zone for this dress and wasn't disappointed, the colors were vibrant purple and orange and the shape was fun! The bust area was tight and pulled right below my arm pits, but a larger size wouldn't have fit my waist. I wore it to a December birthday party and the colors were subdued enough that it didn't look like a summer dress. The material was thick and comfortable all night! 

True to size, but lots of material. Formal and beautiful. Felt comfortable all night. 

I felt confident in this dress and loved the colors. It has a slight sheen to it, but it seemed like it would work well for a daytime work event. The top and waist are very fitted, so choose your size to fit those areas. 

I had hoped to wear this for a conference presentation, but had an issue with the dress - which the stylist I spoke with handled immediately. Great customer service!

Dress is long enough to create no worries. Waist is a size smaller than bust and hips, at least to me. But maybe I've had too many drinks by the pool. Fabric is thick enough to stay down in wind and go braless. Pockets are large enough for a cell phone, so no need for a clutch. Can be dressed up or down, but fabric would pull easily if jewelry had sharp edges. Really enjoyed it. 

Ran a little large and fit well. Great color! 

This is a really cute dress, but I have a straight body, so it made me look hippier than I am. However, the cut and quality of the dress would look amazingly on a curvier woman. Vibrant colors, it would make a subtle standout for any event! 

The 10 fitted well earlier in the evening, but once I was done with food (quite a bit I would say :D), it became tight on my waist.  Overall nice dress, with volume (which is exactly what I was looking for) and high quality material. Would recommend.

I went up to the larger size for the two I ordered - I needed the extra room in the bust. It fit really well and I loved the pockets on the side. I am 5'5 so the dress was a little longer than on the model. Overall it was a great dress, I received several compliments on it. It was a great option going into the Fall season.  I am happy with the selection and the option to have 2 sizes to choose from.

Loved the pockets. I would say this dress runs big. I got a 10 and an 8 and the 8 fit perfectly
