This beautiful dress was amazing on and had pockets!! I wore it for a work gala that I hosted and was perfect for my business cards and cell phone. 
Would definitely rent again if needed. 

Fit like a charm.  Perfect length! Great for the wedding I attended.  I went with the 10.  I'm between 8&10 and both fit! Highly recommend!

The dress is form fitting through the chest and then has a bit of a 50s style, almost bubble skirt aspect to it. Great if you're trying to hide hips or thighs, if those are problem areas for you. Loved the rich, cobalt hue - really popped!  Added bonus: pockets! 

The dress has no give, so I had to go up a size, if you are on the busty side, I suggest going up a size, not too much room in the bust with zero stretch.  A little heavier material, so better suited for a fall event, not so much for an outdoor event.  Overall loved the dress and got so many compliments!

This dress is gorgeous but runs huge. I rented a four in the past and it wouldn't even stay up when zipped at the waist if I didn't put the arms over my shoulders. I normally run between a 2 and 4. The zero fit perfectly. 

I wore this for my graduation, and I really loved it.  The blue is very bright, just like the photo online.  I wore a small belt around my waist because there was a little extra room around my waist, and I wanted to have a bit more shape.  Otherwise, the fit was great.

The dress was very comfortable and practical because it had pockets.   Love it 

I felt the dress fit as expected. I typically wear a 6 in a dress and that's the size that fit best in this dress as well. I am about 5'4 so the dress was a little longer than I would have liked. 

Great color and nice thick fabric. I felt very stunning in this vibrant dress. I wore the sz 14. I felt it ran tts. Wore this to my MBA graduation.  Would rent again!

I got a lot of compliments on this dress. Wore it to a charity gala. I was short on time to prep for this event, so it was nice to be able to wear a regular bra and not have to shop for special lingerie.

I rented this dress for a friend's St. Paddy's Day wedding and overall it was a great choice.  The color is stunning, there's pockets, and it was easy to dance.  I received compliments on it all night long and everyone wanted to know where I got it from (RTR, duh!). 

About the fit - I'm 5'10 and felt like it was a perfect length for me.  The pockets puffed out a bit and made me look a bit "hippy-er" than I already am.  I thought about pinning them down with safety pins but then thought I'd rather have the pockets.  The top of the dress was flattering on my broad shoulders but VERY TIGHT.  I'm a 38D and it definitely felt constricted across the bust to the point where I went bra-less (the material is definitely thick enough for it).  If you are a large chested or broad shouldered gal, just keep that in mind. 

I would definitely rent this dress again. 

Pros - the color and material were fabulous, pockets were great, very flattering on top (although breasts were pushed down a bit).
Cons - the length was longer than I would have liked (I'm 5'0", 123 lbs and it fell below my knee)
This was a last minute back up order as the dress I originally ordered was not going to be ready in time so had to decide quickly. I would have been more comfortable in a size 2, but I received a TON of compliments on it.  If it was shorter (above my knee) I would rent again in a heartbeat.  Absolutely gorgeous dress.

This dress was wonderful! Very comfortable and the color was beautiful. I wore it to my boyfriends Christmas work party and got many compliments. I ordered a size 2 and 4 and ended up going with the 2 which is my usual size. Being around 5'3 the dress hit just below my knees, but looked really nice with high heels. Definitely recommend! 

I wore this and will say the cut and color are very flattering! Definitely true to size and will add kt did get my then fiancé to propose ;)

Wore this to a work holiday party. Didn't want to wear the standard red or green dress. The blue went with the winter wonderland theme. It fit perfect, had pockets, could still wear a normal bra. Was long enough for while dancing my butt didn't run the risk of hanging out. Was just classy enough!  Received many compliments on it as well. A+ all around!

great fit, love the color, very confortable

I rented this dress in a 10/12 for a Thanksgiving weekend wedding.  I wanted something where I didn't have to worry about bloating after the salty TG food and having to wear shape wear.  The bubble skirt is cute, not very sexy but forgiving.  I have two kids under 3, the youngest is 8 months old.  The pockets in this dress were perfect for a cell phone and a binky.  I paired this dress with textured hose and a low paul green bootie.  It looked trendy and was comfortable.  I didn't have time to make sure my legs were perfectly shaved so the textured hose covered up any issues.
I am not in love with this dress but it worked for the time and place I needed it.

The dress fit ok, even though I usually wear size 6, I guess because of the wider skirt (I am smaller on top). It was very comfortable (it even has pockets!), nice color, close to what is pictured on the website. The fabric is very nice, good quality. 

Loved the color and texture of this dress! Fit was true to size! Easy to wear, perfect with pockets!

dress fit well - the waist is a bit odd since fluffs out a bit but with a skinny belt i think it looked better - very comfortable to dance the night away in - and it has pockets!!!

got lots of compliments and the color is beautiful!

The dress was perfect for me.  I'm so happy the first dress I ordered didn't fit well because I got to wear this one. The color was breathtaking and the dress was perfect for an hourglass figure. I'm short so I had to wear heels but I feel like plenty of shoes match it. Super comfy and IT HAS POCKETS! I was so sad sending it back. Absolutely would recommend. Warning the top part of the dress has no give so it cinches in your waist in a subtle way. For sizing I would definitely go based on your upper half since the bottom skirt part is veryyyyyyy roomy. 

This dress was to die for. The fabric, color and cut were all stellar and had so many compliments! Would highly recommend! 

I loved this dress and felt lovely in it. I wore the ten, but it was a little tight in the waist. It zipped up fine, but I have an apple shape and my waist is pretty high. The next size up would've been too big in the bust though. This dress would probably be most comfortable and flattering on a busty, pear shaped woman.   I wore it to a summer wedding and it was perfect. It might have been a little hot if the wedding were outside, but for an indoor summer wedding it worked well!

Loved the vibrant color of this dress. I would be great to wear to an semi formal gathering. I would wear it with a strapless bra so that the straps don't pop out. This dress fell right around my knees. Has pockets! Not tight at all around the midsection. Would pair with silver accessories.

This was actually my back up dress since both sizes of my original weren't available. I tried on the size 2 of both and this was actually my favorite. It fit true to size and was form fitted at the top and flowy at the bottom. 

Very comfy and loved the deep pockets. True to size as well

The dress was loose under my boobs so I had to put a belt with it. It looked somewhat shapeless without showing I had a waist with the belt. I would not rent again but it is a beautiful dress if you're blessed on top. 

I usually wear a 2 petite, so this was long on me, at 5 feet tall. But it fit very well from waist to shoulders.  I am 61, and older than the other people who have rented this dress--but it really is a great style for anyone.
The fabric is just beautiful and the pictures don't really show the dimension. I only wore two inch heels--went for comfort--if I had it to do again I would have worn 3-4 inch shoes.  This was my first rental; it went perfectly and I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat!!

I wore this to an "Adult Prom" and this dress was so much fun!  The cobalt blue color and textured flower print was beautiful.  I ordered the size I would normally order in a fitted dress.  I am a size 4/6 chest, 2/4 waist and 8/10 hips/butt.  Unless you are the same size everywhere, I would recommend renting this to fit your chest/waist.  I think the dress runs true to size, but since the bottom isn't fitted I should have sized down so that the top fit better at my chest and waist.  I would definitely rent this dress again!

Loved this dress! My original dress wasn't available so this was a back up. I loved the cut of this dress and of course the pockets. Could have been a little shorter, but it was appropriate for the occasion. 

I wore this dress to a gala fundraiser.  The invitation said "semi-formal" attire.  I was worried the dress would be tight in the bust (I'm a 34DD, 5'3" and 135 lbs), but the size 6 fit perfectly.  The dress has lingerie straps in the shoulders, so your bra straps will not show.  I wore it with big rhinestone earrings, a rhinestone bracelet, topaz cocktail ring, silver shoes (Anne Klein "Fabulist" from Zappos) and a silver and white brocade clutch.  

Although I have a full bust, there was still room at the top of the dress, which was great. The length was perfect for work, right at knee length. I got a lot of compliments on the color and floral pattern of the dress as well.

The dress was great.  I wore it to a Winter Gala and received lots of compliments.  It was pretty much true to size.  I am in between a 10 and 12. Probably could have gotten away with the 10.  The 12 top was a little too big but the bottom fit perfectly.

This dress is super flattering and very comfy. It even has pockets! I wore it to an afternoon garden wedding in Florida, and the color and shape were perfect for that occasion. 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! 

Delightful fit. Some fit and flares have the waist line too low but this was just right! I think it would be beautiful on anyone. 

Overall, I really liked this dress and received many compliments, but the rest of the reviews were accurate (e.g., runs a little big, is a bit long, etc.) In person, the color was brighter than it looks in pictures, and the fabric was very pretty. The dress was also comfortable, which was a big plus. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Love loved it!  Only negative is I'm short so it was a little long on me.  Heavy material that was warm and wrinkle free all night.  Loved the pockets too!

The dress did not fit as expected. It definitely ran a little large overall, especially in the chest and waist, which is rare for me with a 32DDD chest. The dress was wayyyy longer on me than it appeared to be on the model, which made me feel matronly and boring. It was definitely a lot of fabric on the bottom and a heavier material, which was nice for the winter time. The color is a pretty bright blue (the picture makes it look darker than in person), and the pattern has a raised texture. Overall, not my favorite dress, but it got the job done for an office party. 

Was a great dress for my husbands holiday party. This was my replacement dress when my first one didn't work out. RTR customer service was wonderful and overnighted me this dress. Color is great in person and the dress hid my 3 month postpartum belly perfectly! Also love the pockets!
