Dress was true to size. Flowy and easy to wear. Wore it to a June wedding and felt the fabric was perfect for warm weather and dancing. Got lots of compliments and no one seemed to notice it has a cactus on it. 

This dress is beautiful and very flattering! I'm normally an  US size 6 so the 12 in this dress was a little large on top. Other than that it had a great fit! I loved all the colors and it was super comfy! I still can't believe the full price of the dress but you can tell it is very well made! 

I loved this dress so much.  I will definitely rent again!  It says the smallest size is a 6 so I guess that's what I must have worn.  I'm a size 0 typically and it fit perfectly except for being a tiny bit big in the bust but that's normal for me.  This dress is really classy and feminine.  I received lots of compliments when I wore it.

I loved this dress! Probably my favorite rental so far. I rented my usual size UK 10 (US 4) and a back-up UK 8 (US 2). When the dresses first arrived, I tried them both on quickly to make sure one fit- by myself I couldn't get the UK 8 to zip, but the UK 10 looked good so I was set! Day of, with the help of my boyfriend, we ended up getting the UK 8 to zip and I wore that one instead. The belt part was definitely snug, but I thought the rest of the dress fit better. UK 10 would have been fine too! 

I followed British sizing on the chart with no problem.  I think it probably fits best on people who have a full bust and/or broad shoulders.  It was a tiny bit short waisted for me as a tall girl, but not enough to feel it wasn't flattering or not to wear it.  

I wore this dress for senior honors night at my school. It fit great! The length was perfect and it wasn't restricting at all in terms of tightness. The fabric on the top of the dress was a little loose, but overall the dress worked wonderfully! However, I could see how people could have issues since the SIZING IS BY UK SIZES!!!!! I tend to wear either a 4 or 6 and the size 10 worked great!

We had our Groom's Dinner at a unique Southwestern joint in Sedona, AZ and this dress was perfect!  Beautiful print and so comfortable!  I was nervous about the sizing on this one since previous reviews lead me to believe there was an issue.... Just follow the size chart and you'll be fine!  

The UK size 10 fit for size 4 but may want to size up if your not sure.  I have an athletic/tall frame and the sheer back and ribbon detail was very unforgiving/tight on back and waist.  A bit uncomfortable when sitting but overall a beautiful dress and received many compliments on the print and colors in the dress.

The dress was beautiful and great quality. It did gap a little bit in the back but it wasn't a big deal. The back of the dress cuts down pretty far and shows a little bit of your bra. I just wore a pretty purple bra so it didn't bother me that much. I would definitely buy this dress and alter it to fit perfect. 

Runs small, but my stylist sent the perfect size!

This is one of my favorite RTR dresses yet.  The color is beautiful and fit is flattering.  I wore it to a rehearsal dinner and received lots of compliments. I will definitely rent this again.

I received many compliments on this dress.  The material was very nice and looked great.  I would definitely recommend this dress.   

Beautiful dress, great pattern and I loved the grey ribbon-belt.  However, the dress was difficult to zip and the straps were large and fell down a lot throughout the night.

I was nervous about the length of this dress, being petite, but it hit right at the knee. The top was a bit big, but i pinned it down to my bra and it worked fine. I think this dress would work really well for someone who had slightly broader shoulders.  This was my first RTR and I would definitely do it again!

I wore my back up dress instead. Maybe the 8 would have fit better, but not in the bust area. The top was too big, the waist was tight, and it was too short on me. (I have a long torso.) the belt looked a little faded. it just didn't look right on me. However, the fabric and print are AMAZING. There's a maxi version of this dress with a different neckline. I'm definitely going to rent that one later on this summer.

This fabric of this dress is absolutely gorgeous, but the fit is awkward. The top was way too baggy (and I usually have to squeeze myself into an 8). I ended up having to jimmy the straps a bit so I could wear it, and once I did, I felt very pretty in it and received lots of compliments. Unfortunately, given the high cost of this dress and the disproportionate bodice size, I wouldn't recommend it. 

Ordered my usual size (UK6) and the size larger (UK8). Couldn't zip up either and had to return.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous!  I love the fabric, print,  rich colors, and the overall style.  From the front, this dress looked just wonderful. However,  it gaped horribly in the back. I tried and tried to make it work, but it just wasn't going to happen.  If I had money to throw around - I would buy it and have it altered in a heartbeat.  

This dress was sent to me as an additional option since the original dress I had chosen was unavailable. The print and the colors are much more stunning in person! And the fabric is really beautiful. I received a UK size 6 which is equivalent to a US 0 and I thought it ran a little large, especially in the areas around the bust and armpits. I didn't end up wearing it, but if I had actually purchased this dress I would have had to get it altered in the bust and waist. Another thing to consider is the hemline, which was longer than I expected. The hem hit me right above the knee. The dress would be a nice option for an outdoor summer wedding for someone with a more conservative style. 

I think it ran true to size, if not a little large.  The straps are wide and if I had worn it, I might've needed to tape the straps to me so they wouldn't fall off my shoulders, but this could've been because it was a little too big.   It came just past the top of my knee (I'm 5'4").  Print and material are beautiful though.

Normally I'd agree, but I chose the option of US6/UK 12 and US8/UK 14 when I ordered, so I knew the sizes were numbered differently. It just runs small - I would have had to gone up to a US 10/UK 16 in order to zip! It really is a beautiful dress though. 

probably because the dress is in British sizing (6= US size 0, 8= US 2, etc..) I'm sorry it didn't work out and the stylist didn't mention it, it looks like a lovely dress!

I would have loved to wear this dress, but I just couldn't get it zipped! I've comfortably worn a 6 in everything I've rented from RTR, so after talking with a stylist, she recommended I get a 6 and 8 for backup. No hope for the 6, and I still had a good 2-3 inches left to zip up in the 8. In person, the dress is absolutely lovely, but I would definitely make sure you size up. 

I listened to the other reviews and ordered the smallest size, but ended up wearing my back-up dress because even that was too large on me and just looked a bit dowdy, despite the gorgeous print.
