Fun for a wedding! Nothing flashy but nice and classic 

I wore this to an October wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Comfortable and easy to dance in. I’d say it runs a bit on the smaller side and the neck was slightly tight, but I still loved this dress. Would definitely recommend.

The very top was beautiful; however, the waist was low…not flattering for a petite 

Good lining, etc

This dress is beautiful. As soon as you pick it up you can feel it's high quality. I wanted to be able to zip this one myself  so I sized up. The 16 would have fit me as well. 

I rented this for a formal family event where I knew a lot of eyes would be on me. I got so many compliments and felt gorgeous. My muscles are not quite what they used to be since Covid, so I was thrilled to find a dress that camouflaged the part of my arms that I hate the most. I wish more dresses were designed this way! A lot of women don't like the way their upper arms look, and we shouldn't have to be forced to always have bare arms for formal events! This sleeve design was great. 

I wasn't sure if I was going to fit in this one but I did! It was surprisingly flattering on my big apron belly. I would rent again if I had somewhere to wear it. Made me feel pretty 

I got so many complements on this dress. I loved it.  The details were beautiful. 

I needed to pull it down over my (big) butt a lot as it kept riding up but otherwise it was great! The arm sash covers the thickest part of my arm that I'm always self conscience about. 

Ordered as a backup for a wedding. I'm between an 8 and 10 and the 10 fit great. Still had a little room to move and photographed well. 

I wore this dress to a vineyard wedding and got a plethora of compliments. I love how it drew my waist in without restraining me on the dance floor.  

I felt and looked amazing... it was comfortable and I got tons of compliments 

I have wanted to order this dress for the longest time. I finally did for a wedding, but due to a mix-up, the backup size (which was a 14), wasn't available when my order was placed. I'm a Covid 12, meaning I was a 12 before Covid and am not quite willing to acknowledge that I gained a bit of weight. I am shorter, curvy, and have a large chest and stomach. My husband was able to squeeze me into the 12. Shockingly, even though it was tight, it didn't feel like I was unable to breathe. But I knew it was tight, and I didn't want to wear a tight dress all night. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't really long, because it looks like a perfect length on the model, so that usually means it'll end at the worst spot on my shins as possible, but it really was a good length. And the material was obviously good quality. I don't think I would've worn a bra with this, which is shocking for a large chest, but assuming it was the correct size, it honestly seemed to support the ladies. I wish this would have worked, and I'll definitely try again. Short, curvy ladies with large busts: get this dress! (Just be sure to order a size up!)

The dress itself is beautiful,  great quality. The 12 was a small 12 . It fit...and I mean like don't breathe, don't turn, don't sit fit. Having said that, I do have a bigger butt than usual and it accommodated that while fitting my smaller too also. It wasn't practical though. I ended up wearing the 14w but had to use safety pins to get the top to fit. It was such a huge difference for one size up.

It ran just a bit small in the bust so I went with the size 4.  Stunning fabric.

This dress fit true to size. The material was nice and felt very comfortable. I didn't wear it to the event, because I picked a different dress that I rented, but I would rent this dress again! It's really pretty!

5'9" and wore a size four. The dress fell about two inches above my knee and was very comfortable. The waist had a little room and wasn't too tight. The neck is a little tight but not bag. Would definitely rent again!

Really lovely dress with fun "cold shoulder" detail. The embroidery was really beautiful and had just the right amount of shimmer. 

Though it was knee-length, it was perfect for a semi-formal event. 

I find Monique dresses tend to run small, but this one fit true to size. There's no stretch in it whatsoever. The colors are great. Super cute!

Wore this for drinks.  I liked it more than I thought I would.  The neck and top portion was quite tight and a little uncomfortable

This is an embroidered dress, which I wasn't  expecting. No stretch. Wasn't my favorite rental ever, but I didn't like it!

It fit like a glove. The fabric was very nice. The peakaboo sholder opening we're a bit oversized, as was the collar. Received compliments, at the wedding and in the photos. Another plus, it is easy to match with a date(or a color shoe)!! 

Got so many compliments on this dress specifically on how it shows off my shouldeed! Runs a little snug in my opinion but not too uncomfortable

The dress has got intricate details of flowers and beautiful flowers. Also is slimming and looks sexy because of its design. 

I have no complaints about this dress. Fit perfectly. The details of the embroidery and colors beautiful!  The dress is snug, which was fine for me. I had no problems dancing Made me feel thin and pretty and classy. 

Overall, the dress fit well. The embroidery was beautiful. I wore this for date night out and then again for an outdoor family photo shoot. I would rent this again   

This dress runs VERY LARGE! I'm well endowed in the gluteal region so if a dress is more narrow in the hips I usually order the next size up.  I saw that other people said the dress was big so I just got my regular size. But it was HUGE! The shape was completely lost. Thankfully with some well-placed safety pins I was able to put some temporary darts in to make it fit, but I would definitely go 1-2 sizes down when renting this again.

I wanted to wear this to either the black tie optional wedding or the cocktail rehearsal dinner, but I overshot my dress size by at least 2-3 sizes, so I was swimming in this dress :(

Wore this as a replacement for another dress that did not work. So glad I did! The embroidery and colors are gorgeous in person. It does run a little roomy, and prob could have benefitted from a belt, but it was still pretty. I got several compliments on it from strangers at the wedding and I felt very glamorous all night. The length on me was at/below knee at 5'5", and I never felt like it would ride up or show too much leg, even with heels. Definitely give this one a whirl! 

This was my BACKUP dress! I cannot believe how comfortable and flattering this dress was! I have a heavy chest and am very short (5'2") so I have a hard time finding dresses that fit "cocktail attire" that are flattering and also cover me up enough, especially at work parties (like the one we attended). I usually have trouble with mid-thigh style dresses, they are either too long and don't look how they should or too short because my chest pulls it up, but this was a perfect waistline for me! The flutter sleeves were so comfortable and not restricting like I thought they might be, I hardly noticed them and they looked amazing in photos. We ended up using this photo for our Christmas cards! Cannot recommend this dress enough! I might even rent it again!

The dress is stunning. Like others have described, the floral embroidery is even more beautiful in person. I was looking for a more conservative dress for a Catholic wedding that still showed off my figure and this fit the bill. The size 8 fits great in the waist but was a little tight in the bust, so I ended up just going bra-less. No Spanx required either which is always a plus. 

Wore this cute cold shoulder dress to a gala. I usually wear a 4 so this size 2 runs a little large. It fit like a glove. The embroidery makes it special. The flowers aren't printed on. They are embroidered giving the dress texture and weight. It's lovely.

The only way to appreciate the glory that is this dress is to see it in person.  The embroidery is beautiful, the colors are rich, and the construction is excellent.   

We rented this for my 17 y.o. daughter's homeschool fall formal.  She is 5'1, 120 lbs, hourglass proportions.  It came to the knee, as you can see in the photo.  She had to wear a strapless bra - halter would have worked, but she was uncomfortable.  X-back bra showed, and regular bra was, of course, right out because, again, the straps would have been visible.  She reported it as being very comfortable, which it must have been, because she said she danced every single dance!  

I think she looked spectacular.  No one else had a dress anything close to this beautiful.   

The details and embroidery of this dress were beautiful. The dress ran fairly true to size with room in the top, however it was a little snug on the waistline. I'm normally a 4 and ordered the 6 as a backup. The size 6 felt more comfortable around the waist however it was way too loose on top, so I opted for the smaller size for a tighter fit. I'd definitely recommend sizing up for your backup size since the material doesn't stretch much. 

The embroidery on this dress is beautiful and the shoulder details help to camouflage the arms. I was unhappy with the sizes I ordered, even the smaller of the two was too large. 

Wow! This was my first RTR rental, and I was thoroughly impressed with the company and the dress! I purchased the rental very last minute for a wedding. The dress was gorgeous... the material was very high quality, and was even more beautiful in person than in photos. I got compliments all night, and wore the dress ALL day 10am-2am and it was so comfortable I couldn't believe it! I'm usually a 4 and the 4 was PERFECT! Can't wait to rent again!

This dress is really pretty. The pattern, colors, and stitching are much more beautiful in person. Wore to wedding. Fabric is suitable for spring and fall. It  is lined. Recommend for taller folks.
