This dress runs large! I ordered a size 12 (because the stylist told me it was a 6 US) and it still felt very roomy. I had to wear it as this was the replacement to my first order that didn't work out. I wouldn't have rented this dress on my own primarily because the price tag is steep ($175). The dress is pretty and the fabric is nice but don't quite understand the $175 rental fee as it doesn't seem worth it. Overall, I felt ok in it - I probably would have felt better if the dress fit properly. 

Very pretty dress.  The pattern is beautiful and the dress is very flattering (more so in person, I don't feel the picture does it justice).  I received this dress as a backup when my dress ended up being unavailable (turns out one of the bridesmaids was wearing it, disaster averted!) and I was very happy with it.  I don't know if it's worth the hefty rental though, I've rented a lot of less expensive dresses that I felt were equally as nice and special. 

This dress is beyond gorgeous. I never would have rented it, had I not seen it at the RTR NYC store; it's just so much more beautiful in person! The pattern is incredible close up and the fabric is a gorgeous heavy stretchy navy with a teeny-tiny hint of sheen. Just what it needs to make the pattern pop! This dress is flattering, can be worn with a normal bra, and has pockets -- Perfection! My only issue is that I would have never known what size to order had I not tried it on in the store. I'm a very typical size 4, but ordered this in an 8.

First a note about the size...this is European sized 12, a US size 6.  I could have gone down a size, it was a little big overall.  I had plenty of room up top and on the bottom.  If you have a thick waist I wouldn't size down.  The fabric of this dress is luxurious...a thick satin that makes you feel like a million bucks.  My 11 year old loved this on me.  I felt a little too conservative but classy too and perfect for the Catholic mass I attended.  I loved the pockets.  The length hit me just barely above my knee.

Before I get into the review, RTR was amazing in getting me this dress. The original dress I was supposed to have was damaged and they offered me any dress in that size free of charge, so I ended up with this. I was again thankfully at the Henri Bendel showroom, where they let me try it on and then it turned out to be too big! They were great and shipped me a dress one size smaller which arrived in time for my party. So definitely order your regular size and then the back up size as one size smaller.

Then when I tried on this dress and the original dress I ordered (which was still available in my original size), this dress was actually the better dress so I ended up wearing it for my housewarming party and it was a hit. Everyone loved the print and color, and the dress has pockets which was helpful as I was carrying my phone around and could actually use my hands for food and drinks. The only downside is that the material is a bit heavier, so it gets hot if you're wearing this in the summer. But I would definitely rent this one again, it's amazing and just makes you feel so beautiful, especially now that I know you should order your regular size and one size smaller.

Thanks again RTR!

This dress was beautiful, comfortable, and the pockets were a huge plus!!

Loved this dress for my party! The fabric has a nice sheen and the print is literally amazing! I love the pockets. I am between a 4 and 6 and the 6 (UK size 12) fit great! Would def rent again! 

This dress is flawless and will make you feel like a professional Beyonce. It's made of a thicker, very slightly stretchy fabric and is very fitted in the waist. I'm typically a 0-2 and am very small in the ribcage, and am wearing the UK6-US 0 in this photo. It was tight but definitely wearable. I'm 5'6 and found the length to hit a few inches above my knee. The print is super unique and the pockets are one of my favorite parts of this dress! I paired it with black booties and a leather jacket to bring some edginess to the ensemble.
