Dress is absolutely amazing! I received as a replacement so I only had one size to wear. It was a bit loose and I was hesitant. Otherwise, amazing dress! Definitely recommend!! 

I can be anywhere from a 6-10 in dressed right now post pregnancy, and the 8 fit perfectly. Just loose enough to give me room and surprisingly roomy in the hips. I felt very sophisticated and classy in this dress. 

I loved loved loved this dress and didn’t want to return it! I wish I owned it. It fit perfectly and was a perfect length. The material is thick which was nice because I didn’t have to worry about it being see through. Plus, it has pockets!

It was thick enough fabric that it did not show imperfections or panty lines.  Also perspiration did not show either during this sunny, hot, outdoor formal garden party (even though I forgot to take a picture until it was dark). I could wear a regular bra. Pockets added flattering lines on the front of the dress and were deep enough that I could fit small items (car key, ID, chapstick) in there without it showing. The length was perfect for my 5' 4" height.

I found the fit quite flattering and received a lot of compliments. The material is pretty heavy so it keeps its shape but may be too hot for those outdoor weddings/parties. 

I lucked out with this dress because they only sent me a size 0 when I had ordered a 0 and 2 but the 0 fit perfect! I would have never been able to wear the 2. The dress was fitted but comfortable. It has pockets, score! Only complaint, it was a little tight around the arms. 

This dress fit me perfectly!  I loved the length and the fit.  It was so perfect for an outside wedding reception with a spring vibe.  I would be interested in ordering this dress again!

I really liked this dress. The shape was flattering, and it was well-made. It might have been a little worn around the edges, but not enough for people to notice. It seemed to run true to size.

The fit was true to size. Very flattering. Nice fabric. Highly recommend. 

It's has pockets.  Need I say more? Wore this for a work conference in Palm Springs- tons of compliments.  Comfortable, easy to wear.  Will definitely rent this little sunshine number again.  

I ordered this dress for my medical school White Coat Ceremony at which I wanted to look both stylish and professional. This dress was the perfect fit! I am usually between a 2 and a 4, and choose to wear the 2 in this dress though could have gone either way probably. The dress is very fitted in the bust area, so probably best for those with smaller chests, or just order a size up for larger chests. The fabric is very high quality and thick, making it very flattering. I loved that the dress has pockets, though they stuck out slightly on me as I have bonier hips. I agree with the other reviewers that the arm openings are pretty small, but it isn't a huge issue. I wanted to keep this dress so badly, it really is one of a kind and so flattering!

I wore this dress the first day of a conference and got so many compliments! The next day, a girl stopped me to ask if I had been wearing a yellow dress the day before and told me how much she loved it! The pockets were a plus, I believe it is true to size, and the material was light enough for summer. The dress was a bit short so keep that in mind depending on the occasion. Others said the chest was too tight but I didn't have that problem.

Wore this dress to an outside engagement party for my sister in June. It was very comfortable and fit me well.

Unfortunately the dress was not delivered on time due to UPS challenges, but speaking with RTR customer service was outstanding.  They offered a dress be delivered to my hotel and provided a credit for a percentage of my original dress due to the stressors of renting.  In the end, my original dress arrived right before my departure for the wedding.

I wore this dress for my college graduation. The pockets were a lifesaver as I was able to carry my phone and my car keys with me underneath my grad gown. As some of the other reviews mention the top of the pockets do sit out in a weird way and you can tell that I have things in them, but I wouldn't let it keep you from renting this dress! It has such an elegant look to it. 

The fit was great! I didn't even need the 10. I ordered the size up in case it was snug in the midsection. No need! It fit great! I felt very pretty. The pockets are a nice added bonus! This wasn't my first RTR but it definitely won't be my last!

It fit perfectly except the armpits are super tight! The color and tailored design looked really nice in my photos. I wore this to the masters with some flats.

Rented this dress for a friend's Bridal Shower and loved it, received many compliments. I usually run between a 6-8 depending on the fit. The 6 was too tight around my arms and chest (typical problem area for me!) but the 8 fit perfectly. I would recommend your usual size or sizing up, especially if you are top heavy like me!  

Such a great dress! Wore to a Saturday afternoon April wedding and to a friends birthday brunch on Sunday morning. 

I'm a 8-10 and the 10 fit great. The 8 fit too but was a little too short for my comfort level when wearing heels! The pockets were amazing - perfect for phone and lipstick during the wedding when I didn't want to have to carry my bag. The dress is a thick quality material but has some stretch which keeps it comfy. The colors are great and I got a ton of compliments. Seriously so perfect for outdoor spring and summer events!

This dress looked amazing with some simple brown heels. I felt incredibly comfortable wearing it all day long. This was the perfect modest and flattering dress to wear to a baptism. Really nice material! 

I rented this for a wedding rehearsal.  Fit great!  Conservative length.  The color was not as bright as the picture seemed.  But overall pleased!

I wore this to a polo match, so comfortable and the material/ design is way prettier in person! Thick material and it has awesome pockets!!! 
I am 5'7 and I weigh 138lbs with 34B and I wore a size 6 

My fiance was in love with this dress, and so was I! It has pockets, and c'mon, who doesn't love a dress with pockets! It was a little tight in the armpits but overall it was an amazing dress! The fabric detail, the length, everything was amazing. I would definitely recommend it!

This dress was perfect for the rehearsal dinner I wore it to. It was a little stretchy which made it super comfortable, and you can't beat a dress with pockets! I would say it runs true to size but a little on the smaller side, so order the size up to be safe.

I wore this to my sister's engagement party and really loved it. It was perfect for a daytime, but somewhat formal, party. This would be a great dress for a bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, etc. The material was slightly stretchy so it was very, very comfortable. I have a booty so I tend to be self conscious about things being too tight, especially for family events. This dress was flattering and a great cut for anyone w/ a bigger bottom. It ended up being slightly short on me so I would avoid this for any type of church situation where I'd be sitting down (like a baptism) but I'm also very tall so shorter girls may not have an issue. 

I wore a regular bra and didn't need to wear spanx or anything like that. It's just an easy dress! I wore it to an outdoor summer wedding and it didn't show any signs of sweat which was great. It's a beautiful print. I typically wear a size 4 or 6 and was able to go with the 4. 

Wore this to a rehearsal and welcome reception in Newport, RI. Perfect length to still be appropriate and fits true to size with a little stretch in the material to make it easy to sit, dance, etc. Having the pockets was such a bonus - perfect to keep my phone or lip gloss =)  Would definitely rent again.

This dress fit so well and was extremely comfortable. The pockets are everything! I loved the color of this dress and the slim sheath style was very flattering. 

I was so happy this seemingly narrow dress could fit around my hips and really give a slimming illusion.  The pockets wee an absolute plus.  You can wear a real bra and lock the straps in place!  The dress has a great lining.  The fit was a little tight, but molded well to my body shape!  Awesome and beautiful dress!

Fit well, classy dress.  Print was nice, fabric was stretchy but pockets did stick out a little.  Putting a phone in them is not a great idea if you are being photographed.  

I wore this dress for my graduation and the pockets were a lifesaver in terms of holding my phone, etc. during the ceremony. Got lots of compliments, perfect color for a spring outdoors event! 

This dress was super comfortable and durable. I had to run around and be on my feet for hours and this dress was easy to move around in! The pockets are everything! This dress also made me feel super slim. 

I'm a pear-shaped size 4 and felt more comfortable in the size 6.  The dress runs fairly small and is probably better for more petite girls as it runs pretty short.  The fabric is very well-made and photographs well.

The 2 fit true to size, though by the end of the night the arm holes were rubbing a bit towards the front of my arms. Not a deal breaker, though! This was a beautiful dress, and very comfortable  & appropriate for a wedding.

I loved the color & print of this dress! My biggest complaint was the arm holes were tight & didn't stretch much through out the day. I have an athletic build which I felt wasn't perfect for this dress. I think it would fit a taller thinner woman better. For reference I am 5'3 125 & wear a 32 C. This was my first time using RTR.. Overall, I loved the dress & felt confident in it but could have picked a better fit for my body type! 

I loved this dress for my grad school graduation because it is a more conservative cut but in a super fun springy color. Most importantly it had POCKETS which was perfect for stashing my phone and lip gloss under my gown. The 8 ended up being the right size, which is good because the 10 came with a pretty obvious stain on the back of the shoulder. Overall loved the dress! 

Fit really well, loved it and would wear it again! 

I rented this for a spring wedding and it was PERFECT! The material was comfortable/stretchy and the color was gorgeous. I usually wear a 4/6 and I talked myself out of the 4 as my backup and got the 8 instead... Bad decision!!! The 6 was a little loose on me around the stomach but I know if I would have gotten the 4 it would have been perfect! I would definitely rent again... But get the 4 instead :) 

I am 5'6 and 128 lbs with a 34C bust and usually wear a 2-4. I ended up going with the 2 because it was plenty roomy in the midsection and bust (where  I usually run into trouble). However, about halfway through my graduation the armholes started like cutting into me and I had deep pink, painful lines in my armpits by the end of the day. I do have fairly muscular arms and an ample bosom, however. Overall I loved this dress and it was perfect for graduation.
