This dress will make you feel like a woman even if you don't want to feel that way!  I loved how it looked on  my bust and waist and hips.  It was not too tight or revealing.  Great weight to the fabric.  

I'm a 4 on top and 6 on bottom, with a long torso. I rented the 6 which fit well on top, and though the opening is too wide at the shoulder for a regular bra, a black strapless worked fine underneath. The dress has a lot of stretch and fit over my hips without issue, but as soon as I took three steps it shimmied its way up my waist. I ended up with a super short skirt and a bunch of wavy fabric at my midsection. I think the 8 would have been too loose at the top, but I didn't feel comfortable in the 6, though it looked fab when I stood completely utterly still! I found the color in the photo to be pretty accurate, it's a rich deep teal. 

Thank you for the very helpful review!  Loved the &quot;aftermarket parts&quot; comment - made me laugh out loud, not something that generally happens in clothing reviews!

The dress looks great on me but I can see why others reviewed it the way they did.

The dress is a different color than in the photo.  I like it better but if you are hoping the color will be exact... It won't be.  It photographs totally different than it looks in real life and took several tries for my Pantone app to pick up the right color.

This cut will not work for everyone.  The top is impossible to wear a bra with without it showing (at least if you bend over).  Mine are "aftermarket parts" so I don't need any support and I fill out the top so it won't gape and show everything.  Smaller busted gals will have problems as will larger busted gals that need support.

It runs small.  I have a freakishly small ribcage (usually wear a 30E) and the 4 fit.  If you don't have a small ribcage good luck... Lots of "cup" for a chest and cut very slim through the ribs/waistline.

The cut is best for people with a long torso.  I am long-waisted with short legs for my height.  If you aren't the dress may ride up and become VERY short.  

That said, I like this dress but 100% understand why the other reviews are what they are.  Hopefully the detailed fit guidance helps.

This dress is the most beautiful color and I got tons of compliments! It's very simple, but because of the unusual color it leaves room for fun & eclectic accessories. I ordered the 2 and 4 as a backup, and they both fit me, but I decided to go for the 4 so it wasn't skin tight. The dress is fitted throughout the body, which I didn't originally realize, and it only flares out a little bit at the bottom. It was quite good for dancing because when you twirl it won't flash everyone, and when you raise your arms it's not suddenly super short. The only negative to this dress is that the fabric was very thick, so it got really hot quite quickly. 

As the other reviews said, it does run small. I love the way that the fabric hugged my body and how sexy it made me feel.  I thought that the skirt part was not too long or too short, just perfect.  The color is gorgeous! 
I'm 5'7 145 pounds and i normally wear 4 and I wore a 6

Fabric is hugging which was really comfortable for me although snug. I was worried about the dress riding but had no problem with it. The neckline tends to turn over a bit and I definitely would not recommend this one to anyone with a larger chest. Loveeee the color. 

The only issue I had was the lining did not stay down throughout the night, it kept twisting up. You couldn't see the line though so not a huge deal. Great color and fun, unique neckline!

Beautiful color. But kept have to adjust and slip showed. Worked its way up as you walked. If you are super skinny then perfect. But difficult with curves. 

If you have bigger arms like me this isnt the dress for you. I ordered a size 8 and this dress way WAY to tight and didnt even fit my arms. My mom who is a size 4 tried on the dress and the arms were tight on her as well. The dress itself is beautiful! I love the color and the cut. But if you rent it I suggest going a size up. 

i made the mistake of renting a 4 without a backup size.  the dress runs really small.  it was such a pretty dress, though!  i will either be losing a couple of pounds or renting the 6 soon

This is a GORGEOUS dress. The fabric is nice, etc, but I was unable to wear it (I looked like a stuffed sack of potatoes).  Look at the neck/shoulders/top. You need to have a long torso (or be tall generally...neither of which describes me).  It's a great dress for a specific body type - not mine.

I've rented many a dress from RTR and have been able to go out and enjoy most of them.  This dress has been the one that I really couldn't wear out.  It has a very odd fit for someone with my body type: large hips, big bust (hourglass).  It was pretty short.  The material didn't have that luxurious feel and showed every single bump and imperfection. 

I ended up not wearing this dress and opted for another one. 

I loved this dress, but it does show off cleavage so it's not daytime wear for me.

This dress does run small - I generally wear a 4 these days and wore a 6 here.  For me this dress fit amazingly in the waist - things are always large in the waist but not this (I'm 36 / 27 / 38 ).  It was amazing!!  Plan on a strapless bra and a statement necklace to go with this dress - it shows off a lot of skin at the neckline!

I'll rent it again when our weather gets colder (rented through Unlimited)



This dress runs crazy small. I wear a 2 in pants and an xtra small or 4 in everything else. This was so tight that I shipped 9t back without wearing it. I will reorder it in another size, because the the fabric, color, and neck;one are very flattering. Just size up.

The fit was true to size. It's quite stretchy/swingy and felt comfortable. Though the photo doesn't really show it, I found that the color seemed much brighter than the picture. 

I got this dress as my free birthday rental. I was drawn to the color, which is beautiful (although more green in person than it appears in the picture). I was concerned that the neckline would be too low and show more cleavage than I would be comfortable with, but I was ordering last minute and there weren't many options so I went with it anyway. As it was, I ended up wearing one of my own dresses out because I just didn't feel comfortable in this.
The dress is very well-made, and the fabric is stretchy and thick, perfect for fall. The overall shape of the dress was very flattering. But it was very tight up top, making everything look smooshed and giving me "muffin-top boob" - not flattering at all. And, like I predicted, I was uncomfortable with how low the neckline is. I think for a woman with a slightly smaller chest who is comfortable with a low neckline it would be great. 

I ordered a size up and it was still way too tight. Nice material and wish it would have worked. 

My fiancé liked it and I appreciated the color but then cline felt weird and the length was a touch too short for my taste.
