I chose this dress because it matched the logo color or an organizations event I was attending. I'm so glad I chose it, it was super comfortable and a great fit. Received many compliments all night!

Super cute, but cheap fabric, side boob and see through. Wouldn't rent again, but good for RTR unlimited. 

Dress fit great! I normally wear a medium/large & the medium fit perfect. It does have some thin material but it was a 90 degree wedding day so it was perfect for that. I wore a strapless bra & it didn't stick out at all (just need to find the right one). I received so many compliments on it! Everyone loved the little cut outs. 

I rented this dress for my graduation. The color and cutouts were adorable and I received many compliments! However, similar to other reviewers I found that the top was a little baggy around the shoulders and back but very tight around the waist. 

Comfortable and cute.  Love the color and length. 

I always order dresses in both a large and a medium just in case, but the medium was great. If you're like me, big booty & little waist, then it's the perfect dress. I usually order medium tops and larger bottoms, so I'd go by whatever size top you usually purchase for yourself. It'd be a great dress for ladies that are well-endowed as well, since it was a little loose for my boobs. I was worried the slits would show my chub, but they were placed perfectly for a flattering fit. Highly recommend for a night of comfort, compliments, and dancing!

Not very structured and difficult to wear a bra because of the cutouts. It's very light, so good for a casual, summery affair.

The dress fit me well and looked great in photos.

The side cut outs are much larger than expected, but the length was great and the top fit as well.

I loved the color of this dress and the cut outs were awesome! My only concern was the cut at the bust was a little large and stuck out. I considered taping it, but in the end I was too lazy to do that and just wore it as-is and it was fine. I got tons of compliments!

I wanted to love this dress but it was awkwardly big in some spots yet didn't have enough side fabric up top to wear a regular strapless bra. I would have needed lots of fashion tape and that's just too much effort for me haha. Really pretty color in person. 

I loved the color and feel of this dress and I really wanted to be able to wear it but it just didn't fit right. I either needed a smaller size (a medium) or my torso is just too short for it to fit correctly. It really gaped around my boobs and showed a lot of my bra.

This dress was perfect for me. The side opening showed off my rib tattoos, it was light and comfortable for an outdoor wedding and easy to dance in. It's hard for me to find a dress that fits my large shoulders but this one was perfect 👌

i loved this dress! it was exactly what i wanted for a brunch cruise with my girlfriends. i got an XS but it was still a little loose as you can see in the pics. also because i'm short, it was longer than expected (definitely looks different than on the RTR model!) but i liked it with tall wedges. 

I rented a small, medium and then large. I'm a size 8/10, and though I thought medium would work, I also rented a small because other reviewers said the dress ran small. When neither worked I requested a large.

Couldn't zip up the small, zipped medium but it squished my love handles out. The large fit fine around my waist but I did not have the bust for it and / or the torso was too long.  Might have made it work with some creative safety pinning around the straps in front or the waist in back, but who needs the hassle?

To summarize: Small around the waist, big elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend for ladies who have a straight / boyish body and/or have a short torso, but if you have an hourglass shape with a larger bust-to-waist ratio, this may work for you. 

Loved this dress! Was perfect for a Cinco-de-mayo wedding.   Because of the other reviews, I was worried about the cut outs, but the XS was perfect and even allowed me to eat since it flairs out at the waist.  I have a small chest and short torso, I could see that if you were either long in the torso or had a bigger chest how it could fit awkwardly. 
Definitely planning on renting this again!

This dress was great, it fit well, I wore it for a rehearsal dinner for a wedding I was in.  I'm 5ft9in and 145lbs I wound up wearing the small I typically wear a 4/6 in dresses.  The cut outs were cute and cut in a bit.  I wasn't able to wear a bra with the dress because of the cutouts but it was fine, I don't have very big breasts though.  

I really liked this dress. The color is super pretty and the cut is comfortable. Only bad thing was the cut outs on the side bunched up a bit because it was a little big on me but for one nite it was perfect

Fits fairly tight - I'm 5'7" and 155 lbs and the large was way too big but the M was fairly tight. Definitely a no bra dress!

Flattering dress and extremely comfy. Lots of compliments on the color.

Overall the fit was great. The material was stretchy and comfortable. Beautiful color! The only downfall was the gaps near the armpits. I’m not sure if this is because I am too busty or not enough - the medium had the same problem plus the material bunched near the cut outs on the side. I tried to use dress tape and because of the nature of the armpit area (lots of movement) it didn’t help much.  However, it was not too noticeable and I received many compliments on the dress!

Loved the dress and got many compliments. I was officiating my best friend's wedding so I wanted a classy, colorful dress. And this fit the bill perfectly. No need to wear a bra for me, I did wear some nipple covers for modesty. 

Beautiful color, fabric and design of this dress. Only negative was I wish I had used some fashion tape to keep my bra from showing in the cutouts, but it was so easy to wear. Definitely worked for my slim bust, and the length worked with some great 4" heels. I even felt a little loose in the XS, and I usually wear a 2... so size down for this one!

I rented this for a fundraiser for the Aquarium. I knew that half the fundraiser would be outside and half inside, so I was looking for a light easy dress that could stand up to New Orleans heat and humidity. This dress did the job! The material was light and breezy. The tea length flowy bottom was fantastic for dancing and walking up stairs. The cutouts were great for extra breathability. I could even wear a real bra with the top. Although you could see a strap hanging out in some of the pictures depending on how I was posed. The only way this dress could be more perfect is if it had pockets. I loved that it could easily be dressed up or down by changing shoes and accessories. The color was so vibrant. I got compliments on the dress all night. 

Only concern was the narrow top and lower cut on the arm holes. Was difficult to find a bra that sat low enough on the body or had straps that you couldn't see. Material is light and evening included dancing, so braless was not an option. Otherwise, awesome!

Not the most flattering dress I've worn, top was alittle lose and unable to wear a bra due to the cut of the dress. The key holes are super cute except pushed me out in all the wrong places. This dress is 100% for girls with no body fat.  The fabric was light and airy which was nice, color was beautiful too! 

I loved this dress! It was super comfortable and easy to wear. I went with the XS because it does run a bit big in the top. I'm not very busty so I liked the tight fit of the XS better than the Small. I was very happy with this dress!

Beautiful style & color, but made for longer torsos. I felt it fit pretty true to size, but all of the reviews said it ran big. I typically border between a M and S, so I chose small...but it was too tight! My advice would be to rent your usual size...you don't want the side squish! 

Loved this dress! I wore a sticky bra, and the XS was great. Loved the cut outs and got so many compliments!!!!

This dress was amazing! I typically wear a medium in everything but the small in this dress fit much better. I wore it with a strapless bra and nude heels. It was super comfortable and light, perfect for a summer wedding. I got tons of compliments on the color and the length of the skirt! I definitely wish I could keep it for my own closet :) 

I wore the XS which fit like a glove but I wish I had worn the S. As others have reported the mid section of the dress has no give, as I ate and drank at the event it became very tight! I feel like the S with a little extra room would have been more comfortable throughout the day. The top required me to use garment tape to hold down the edges or my bra would show.

The color is amazing and striking and unique, and the dress flowed in the breeze - which looked lovely and made a hot summer day feel much more comfortable. I'm 5'6" and 112lbs. I wore the extra small with a strapless bra and nude pumps, and it fit pretty perfectly. I got a lot of compliments and felt gorgeous the whole day. Thanks, RTR!

Loved this dress! It did run a bit big, and was slightly long (I am 5'4).  The color is beautiful and I loved the sides.

I wish there were an XS! I have a small bust, so it was too big up top. Definitely not a good choice for smaller chested girls-- unless XS is available. Other than that, it was really comfortable and a fun, wear! 

Bright blue, light weight fabric and cut outs! What more do you want in a dress for a Spring/Summer event?  This dress runs true to size but I would recommend sizing up as the fabric has very little stretch. I also recommend using a strapless bra. At 5'3" the dress hit me right below the knee. This is a great dress to dress up or down! 


I would say this dress fit true to size. I ended up wearing the XS.  I typically go between an XS or a S. I loved the color and cut outs on this dress.  At first I thought the length was a little awkward, but with the right heels it looked great.  I think it might look too long if you were any shorter.  Overall, it was the perfect dress for a spring wedding. 

I don't usually rent dresses without any reviews, so I took a chance on this one. As I got closer to the event, a few reviews popped up (which I was happy about). One of the reviewers suggested wearing a sports bra, so I snagged one to wear. When I received the dress (I ordered a medium and a small) I tried both on with the sports bra. The dress runs true to size (I usually wear a small), but there was no way I could wear a sports bra with the dress - or a regular bra or strapless bra for that matter. I had to go out and purchase a white cardigan (I was out of town) to wear over the dress to hide my lululemon sports bra. Overall, the dress worked out well - the color is absolutely gorgeous, and really made my blue eyes pop. I am pretty tall, so the length of the dress was a perfect midi length for me. (I might shy away if you are really short). The skirt is also very full and has good movement. I had so many complements on the dress. I don't think I would rent this again, only because of my bra situation.

This dress was easy to wear with a number of different accessories (I wore it with strappy heels; photo was taken at the end of the evening). It is tight fitting through the rib section and snug in the top, which I liked because I'm bigger on bottom and it was loose and forgiving in the hips and legs.  The side cutouts hit at a strange spot... if I didn't have a long torso I think I might have had trouble with them. I had to wear a strapless bra and found myself adjusting frequently throughout the night,  but I wasn't uncomfortable at any time,  sitting or dancing.  Really pretty color, soft fabric, and I liked the length on me. I received quite a few compliments on the dress! 

I wore this to a charity dinner that was Kentucky Derby themed. It was perfect for the occasion. I wore a small which was still a little too big, bunched in the chest are and lower back. The dress itself is very flattering otherwise!
