Loved this especially for my tall girl self. Comfortable and cute, the lace makes it feel a little extra special.

Perfect fit- a tad tight around my chest but I have boobs. 

A little tight through the hips but I’ll make it work because I love it so much! The photo doesn’t show the shimmer very well but love this shimmer in the lace overlay! Will be perfect for an outdoor wedding in the fall!

So much prettier on than in any of the photos. Wore it to an outdoor wedding in Michigan. Tons of compliments. 

Such a pretty dress, I had multiple strangers come up to me and compliment the dress! It’s even more beautiful in person with the gold accents. The nude slip doesn’t go down the whole way, so just make sure it doesn’t ride up when you sit! I am 5 ft 6 and wore 2 inch heels and it was a tad long but I managed! I am a 34c and was worried the XS would be too small but it was the only size left. I usually wear a small but the XS fit and zipped up fine but it was a tight fit at the bust. 

Beautiful pink with a shimmer of gold color pop! Long A line dress. Back less strapless bra is needed to help give that lift. Spanx highly recommended as well. Dress is long, did end up tripping ok dress- wear a good 3”+ heel. Still would rent again.

Perfect fit. 5'8 and the long hit the ground perfectly with 3 inch heels. 
Many compliments!

This dress is so comfortable. It's a beautiful dress for any formal event! I loved wearing this dress! 

Beautiful dress, perfect for an early summer wedding. A little long, I pinned up the hem a couple inches, but you couldn't tell. Highly recommend!

I wore this for a black tie optional spring wedding. I'm hourglass shaped so it can be hard to find formal dresses that fit my bust, waist, and hips. This dress fit pretty well, though the flesh-colored interior liner was a little tight around my hips, though not enough to be annoying. The top gave me some cleavage but also kept everything in, and I didn't have to wear a bra. The length was perfect with a small heal. I really liked the color and the gold accents. 

I wore this dress to my engagement pictures and it photographed beautifully! The only critique I have for it is that it runs small, I normally do not wear an XXL but the XL didn't want to zip up fully. Overall, totally worth the rental price and I'm extremely happy with the pics!!!

This dress is gorgeous! It has some beautiful gold details on the fabric. If you are petite, it was still long on me even with heels.

I’m 5’7, 144lbs and a 32C bra size.
I ordered a medium and large in long sizes and went with the large. The medium was perfect fit around my chest but a bit snug around the waist (especially since we had a 3 course meal at the event)
The large was really comfortable, however was a little big around the chest so I wore boob tape and was standing tall/pulling my shoulders back all night to avoid having the dress gaping. I didn’t have chicken fillets but I’m sure that would have worked well.
Overall very pleased with the dress!

Dress fit very well. Tight fit in the top area for the  size I ordered. So many compliments on this dress! 

This dress was perfect! Wore it to an evening wedding and got so many compliments. I typically wear a 10-12, but I read the reviews and ordered up to a 12-14 since many said it ran small. I would absolutely agree - in the bigger size, it fit my chest and waist perfectly, but the straps were a little big. I would definitely recommend ordering one of the nearby sizes because between the chest, straps, and gold underlay that can get bunched up a bit in a size too small, there is a lot of potential for error. Thankfully, this dress fit near perfect and I felt so confident in it.

This dress fit beautifully and was absolutely stunning.  The delicate lace and the gold thread made it feel glamorous and I received so many compliments that night!

I selected this a back up style and I am so glad I did because my first choice did not work at all. I was a little worried it might not be formal enough for a black tie wedding, but it was perfect. It accentuated all the right places and hid all my flaws. I felt so pretty and got so many compliments.

I sized up from xs to small.  So many compliments! 

I loved everything about this dress. It fit perfectly; allowed for some cleavage without being too much. It may be a bit tight with a bigger bust. I had small heels on and while the length ended up fine every once in a while when I was walking my heel would get stuck in the lace. 

This was gorgeous, though I opted for another choice because the color didn’t look the best with my pale skin tone. The lace also has gold in it, it’s very beautiful and high quality. Great option for tall ladies. The medium was a bit large in the chest for me, but I could’ve made it work. 

This dress is beautiful and you can’t see the gold accents in the picture, it’s just lovely. It was a bit tight on the chest for me, and I got the largest size. But if you’re okay and comfortable showing off a lot of cleavage, this dress could work for you. It just zippered for me but I think it still looks very nice.

LOVED how I felt in this dress. I'm almost 5'8" and it hit just at the floor in 3 in heels. I was 6 month postpartum in this dress and still nursing/ pumping so I get that it was a bit snug fitting but that could just be my body at the time. The only negative I could say was that after my heel got caught a couple times in the lace (from sitting or dancing) I was super nervous about tearing the dress or falling over! So wedge heels might be the way to go with this one!

This dress was very pretty; I loved the lace and gold thread throughout. I rented the M and the L but I am a very true size 10 and the M fit well. I probably did not need a bra though I wore a plunge, strapless one anyhow. It made my boobs look great! I am not very tall but the regular length was fine with heels, just dusted the ground. My only complaint would be that I did not feel that the overall shape was very flattering. There are two seams that run at the waist and below the belly button and I felt it did not flatter my shape as well as some other dresses I have rented. Also, the lining kept shifting to the right so I had to adjust routinely. Overall, I was happy with my rental and though I wouldn't rent this one again, I am glad I had the chance to wear it for this event.

I ordered this as a backup and did not end up wearing it because it feel out of season and slightly awkward in the bust.

beautiful dress, very long, lots of compliments, well lined, comfortable

Perfect color dress making this great for fall, spring or summer events. The neckline is gorgeous. I received compliments all night,  everyone loved the dress! 

Great for tall, small chested gals. Fit like a glove. 

Loved the dress, fit great with 3 inch heels and a little added padding to the top. Loved the color, received lots of compliments - fun dress!


Fit perfect. Was long. Needed at least two inch heal with being 5’5”

I wore this to my brothers late summer wedding. It was perfect. The dress was super comfortable. I loved the gold detail. 

I ordered this dress as a back up, thinking the color and style was straying from my norm. I also noticed that I could not find many reviews for it with a fit for girls with smaller chest, like myself, (34B). I had a tough time visualizing how it might work out for me. I do think if you are smaller in chest size - this dress is likely a win! Io did wear a strapless no problem. I am SO glad I took that shot in the dark ordering this. This dress fit true to size, was perfect for a formal, summer city wedding, but could easily be worn at a rustic/outdoor occasion too! The color is beautiful & it has subtle hints of gold outlines that are best seen in person. Would rent over and over. 

SO many compliments! Wore the small (5'4" ~135 A cup tots lol) was a teeeeny bit loose in the chest area bc I'm super flat but will made me look like a hand a little bit of cleavage :) So comfortabe! Thought it would be hot but it wasn't at all actually breathable and we had an outdoor 90 degree wedding and didn't show sweat. I wore 3 in heels and it fell perfect. This was a backup and SO happy I ended up with it!! (Sent my 1st choice to the wrong address, dummie) 

Was a little large in the bust but worked out. More beautiful in person than the pics! I felt great all night. It was flattering and classy. 

Loved this dress and received so many compliments. I wish I would've had a better picture taken in it. Each flower on the lace is outlined with gold threading so expect some shimmer. It was somewhat difficult to zip cause of the lace on my own but once I had help it was fine. Loved this and would def rent or purchase it! 

Loved this dress and would definitely rent again. Low cut front so make sure you have a low cut strapless bra, or something else. Flows while you walk and is comfortable! 

Has details  you can't quite see in the pictures that makes it especially lovely, including gold thread detailing and short sheer under-layer so you can see the bottom of your legs through the lace. I'm really short (5'2) and while it fit me very well in the torso (Like all the Dress the Population styles- HIGHLY recommend this brand but had only work their mini and midi dresses before), this was wayyy too long on me overall - even with heels, I had to take to the tailor to get a temporary hand-sewn hem I could release before I returned it. I initially tried this style on at the RTR store and the stylist assured me I could do so for $5, but the tailor insisted it was $45 because she had to hand sew rather than do it on the machine. So this was much more expensive than I anticipated! Short girls, factor that in :) 

Obsessed w this dress.. rented it in the light blue before but the pink was Wow! It’s got gold in it up close which makes it feel so unique without being over the top! Could totally work for any dress code at a wedding. Fit TTS. I’m 5’5” and wore 3in heels and it was the perfect length.

Dress was so easy to wear and very comfortable. Had a bit more cleavage than I normally like to wear, but didn’t have to wear a bra which I love! Great length for petite girls 

Was great for a summer wedding. Fit really well. Didn’t need a bra. Has a slight gold thread running in with the pink. 
Not the most flattering picture of the dress, looked much better in person. 

I am in between sizes medium and large and I went with the large. Fit nicely, not to snug or loose in body. I do wish the straps were adjustable, I had to safety pin them so my girls looked nicer lol. I am 5'1" and the dress was pretty long on me even in a high heel. 

I liked the tiers. Gold threading in the lace was so beautiful in person. Photographs poorly. 

I ordered this as a backup for a wedding. Unfortunately I ordered regular length, and at 5'9 I would've had to wear flats with this (with heels, it would look dumb with the dress 2-3 inches off ground). Definitely order long if you're somewhat tall & are wearing heels! The dress itself has this pretty gold accent/lace throughout dress, but I didn't find the dress particularly flattering for my body type (pear: big hips, small waist and average/small boobs).
