Elegant dress with great details. Was true to size and didn’t look too long on my petite frame 

This was a perfect choice for a daytime event (annual flower show). It felt great on, the size S fit perfectly, and I received many compliments on it.  The zipper was a little tricky, seemed slightly "off track" but other than that I was very happy with it!

This dress fit great and I received lots of compliments.  It hugs your body and the details on it are so beautiful and delicate.  I usually wear a large but size up to extra large and it was perfect.  

I wore this dress to a garden party luncheon. It was very comfortable and it paired nicely with a blazer. I received so many compliments on the dress. 

This dress fit really well and was beautifully embroidered. I wore it for my wedding rehearsal dinner. I'm usually a size small in clothes and the recommendation was to order a size medium in this dress, which fit perfect. It was snug but had some stretch to it. Would recommend to others. Received compliments on it. 

This floral dress was comfortable. It created a nice silhouette. The base color is more of a yellow tinge than a cream or white. Fit just right 

I wore this for work but would be great for an event. A little tight on the rib cage but nothing terrible.

Wore this dress to a summer wedding. If it was perfect. Easy to move in and the fabric was lovely. 

This dress was so perfect I didn't want to send it back. I wore the XL. I have a hard time finding dresses that fit me. As a 36G with a 31" waist, 40" hip, I tend to flux between L and Xl and typically one, either the top or bottom end up tight. Nothing like smashing G cups into a dress cause the booty fits just right. Any ways this dress was perfect as a guest of a late summer wedding, not too hot, comfortable all night, I could wear a normal bra and not worry. Absolutely loved it. 

The dress got like a glove, but was not uncomfortable. I got lots of compliments and just felt fab in the dress!

I wore this dress to a tea party with my Sister and had so many compliments.  The fit was amazing and so comfortable.

Rented this for an afternoon bridal tea, and it did not disappoint! Gorgeous garment-beautiful silhouette, beautiful fabric, beautifully constructed. I am always right on the cusp between L and XL so ordered both. Both fit, but I liked the extra room in the XL so went with that. Received so many compliments. Highly recommend!

It was a nice formal dress for the occasion. I'm a wedding planner so I always need nice dresses when I'm on site at weddings and I thought the dress was appropriate for the wedding.  It was a little bit grandma-y but worked for the occasion.

Wore this to a graduation. The lace detailing is beautiful. It's a good thick material. The only note is that it has no stretch or give.

Wore the Large. Very fitted and hugged every bit of my curves. No give at all. Zipper was tough. 

I was originally unsure about this dress because of all the lace, but after seeing it in person I fell i love with it! Beautiful lace and such nice soft colors. I wore for a bridal luncheon and received so many compliments. Perfect fit - so flattering!

Feminine and different from most dresses I wear 

I liked the dress. Perfect to dress up for a wedding or to the office. Perfect length. A little tight around the arms and chest area. I am 5'6. 135, and the small fit perfect. Simple, average rental. Will rent again. 

Such a stunning and classy dress. Wore to work and got a million compliments! Love the length. I'm 5'8" and 143 lbs and the medium was perfect. It is so much more beautiful in person. The pictures do not do it justice. 

In the end i didn't feel this was appropriate for a wedding (sister of the groom), but loved the dress!

Nice spring dress. Wore it with a "khaki" colored blazer. 

I rented this dress for my nephews garden wedding. This dress did not disappoint. It fit perfectly and I got TONS of complements! My sister said that I was as beautiful as the bride. 

The dress has a great length past the knee. It was a little tight on my busy area but not too bad overall.  The color and style is beautiful. I will definitely rent again.

The fit was fantastic but I like to wear my clothes snug. So if your in between sizes and you don't like snug fit clothes, I'd recommend you order a size up! 

I absolutely love everything about this stress if it was a great fit correctly and all the right places. I really like that it was stealing because it made me feel a little bit more classy. The colors are beautiful and very spring. For reference I wear a size 12/14 I am 5 foot six  without heels and I wear a size 38G bra. No complaints For the dress.

Fits very flatteringly adding the illusion of a waist to a straight figure and with a forgiving cut that doesn't run too tight. Very comfortable and lots of compliments.

I chose this dress for the design and color and thought it was appropriate for the occasion. It was lovely. 

Fun dress. Very unique. Kind of has an antique look to it. Good for work or social event. Bust fits tight and not much give due to the fabric. Will rent again. 

Adorable! I may not send this back. Very tight, more of a work party dress than a sitting at my desk all day dress. 

This is a gorgeous flattering dress that is easy to be confident in. I would only say that the zipper was really cheap and got stuck a lot.

Size up for hips. Only con was the bottom of the dress stretched out some after two wears. Very pretty and unique dress ... lots of compliments! 

I thought this one had great potential for a fun June wedding, but my husband thought it looked wrinkly in the preview and in person, but in reality it is a lace dress with embroidered flowers.

I typically wear dress 12, pants 12/14 - I fit the bottom half of this dress great. Surprisingly I did not fill out the top, it's baggy at the armpit and upper chest. 

If you are into dowdy old looking yellowed table cloth lace then this is the dress for you. Otherwise skip! Did not end up wearing - not sure I could ever feel good in this dress. Believe the reviewer who said the it is far too matronly. As for fit… I am usually a size 4 and the XS did fit nicely - just couldn't go for the look, cheap old fabric. Unfortunately the dress also arrived with a tear in the back slit and zipper was too hard to pull up. Bummer! But the good news is this is the only total flop I have ever received from RTR.

I wore it to a business luncheon. It worked well for the event.
