I loved this dress! I do think it runs like a smidge but it wasn’t enough for me to need to size down. Similar to other reviews, I had to use double sided tape to keep the leaves around the bodice from flopping. So beautiful!

Received so many compliments! What a beautiful, delicate and comfortable dress. Fit perfectly and was secure enough to be worn without the straps. 

I did not wear the straps as those would have been too tight, but dress was perfect for a formal event. Super comfy to dance in! 

I wore this to a formal work event and got so many compliments on it!! Absolutely loved it. The only thing to really look out for is the fabric is not super forgiving, so if you're between sizes I'd recommend sizing up. The lace overlay got caught easily on a ring I was wearing, so definitely something to keep in mind when accessorizing. Other than that I felt amazing in this.

This was my last-minute backup after my primary dress' zipper split right as we were getting into our Uber! I think it is a really pretty dress and the detail was beautiful. I just didn't LOVE the fit on me. That said, I got lots of compliments and ultimately was comfortable and happy with it. TBH, it's been a few years since I wore this (late to my review!!) and I can't recall for sure which size I ended up going with (2 or 4) but I am pretty sure I went with the 2?

This dress was perfect for an upscale October wedding. The quality was fantastic and it was incredibly comfortable. My only issue was that the straps were too long and kept falling off my shoulder.

The dress is heavy, fitted just right, and was perfect for an hourglass shape. Honestly, my B-cups did not do the dress justice with how much space there was in the bosom!! I loved how structured it was. Perfect for a wedding at a local nature preserve

Following advice from others, I used dress tape to keep the lace up on the front. Well worth the $4 purchase to make this dress look even more incredible.

I wore this dress for an outdoor wedding in Dallas in October. The fabric is slightly on the heavier size, but still very comfortable. I ended up ordering a size 4 and size 6. I went with the size 4, but it was slightly tight in the bust area. Only other thing that bugged me slightly during the night was that the spaghetti straps would slide off at times. 

Loved this dress!! I'm 5'1 usually a 6/8 and I wore the 8 regular. It fell right to my ankles and looked great with heels. A lot of the reviews say to size up but the 10 was not available for my event weekend- I honestly could've used a size bigger. Sizing up is definitely a good idea!! It worked and looked great but my chest was really squeezed in there. Tons of compliments, would wear again! 

I love this dress!! I got tons of compliments on it all night. The material is fairly thick and heavy, which makes the quality really show. Agree with other reviewers that dress tape is necessary to keep the accents around the neck line up, and the fit was a little large so I would consider sizing down. I'm 6 feet tall for reference and the dress fell a little longer than T length on me

From a distance, the dress appears black with cream & gold undertones. From up close, it is black, bluer toned mint, pistachio green, and pale pink. I loved the colors, but didn't expect them! As others recommended, I had to use fabric tape to keep the lace from flopping on the chest and back areas. Other than that, it is a gorgeous dress with beautiful material. Was worried about it being too hot for a July wedding, but it was fine for me. 

Only liked the fit when I cinched it with a belt...felt a little shapeless without it. Super pretty fabric and color though! 

As some reviews mentioned, the boning in the bodice stuck out at the top and jabbed me, wish I had thought to use tape or something to prevent rubbing. The neckline of lace detailing didn't stay up and it was longer than I expected (ankle length rather than midi) but I still felt great in it. Great quality as the fabric is thick but not too heavy.

Loved this dress for a formal wedding. The detail was stunning and very high quality. 

This dress is comfortable.  It's fitted in the chest so that no bra is needed.  There is a lot of material in the skirt so it's not the most flattering dress, but it is forgiving.  

I got a lot of compliments on the dress, it fit great and was pretty flattering. Straps stayed up. Was a tad longer than I was expecting but other than that I loved it!

Threw this on after a boat day to head to a wedding and it made everything so easy! I'm 5'9 and it was full length on me. So comfortable. I am a 4 but can pull off a 6 but this one definitely needed to be a 4 or it wouldn't have worked. 

Great dress for a wedding. I was 3 months postpartum so I felt like the chest and stomach area are very modest and forgiving for a new mama. The straps kept falling down- my only complaint! 

I feel like I am a true 4 and the dress was too big. Wish I would've order a 2 as well. Also the coloring was different than I expected, I thought there would be more gold tones but it was more greens and pinks. Would've worn if I got a smaller size 

This dress is gorgeous! The floral detailing around the top and bottom gives it something extra. It's also very comfortable. Definitely true to size. The straps are tiny bit long but it was nothing that bothered me or changed my opinion of the dress. The dress looks more black and gold in pictures. However, in person it is more pink with hints of green on the flowers. Highly recommend! 

The length was a perfect gown fit for me! It wasn't terribly flattering but I was at a family event and didn't want anything too tight. The straps fell down a lot and didn't seem to do much. It looked better with them up rather than tucked in though. 

I loved wearing this dress! I really like florals and lace and this was an amazing way to wear those in a different and formal way. The fabric at the top was droopy but dress tape fixed that right away. A few sizing notes: I think this dress is supposed to be tea length (which would be AMAZING as well) but I'm 5'5' and it hit right at the ankle (which was nice for the formal wedding). A size 4 definitely would have fit me better (I'm usually a size 26-28 pant/skirt) but I could make the 6 work. 

This dress is just as gorgeous in person as it is online. My only complaint is that the 4 was way too big, and the 2 was a little too tight.

This dress was a backup from my original rental bc the size I wanted was not available anymore. The 4 was pretty snug on me and was barely able to zip it up. There is a silk liner in the dress, so it was definitely very hot to wear in the summer in Texas. Got a lot of compliments and was fun to wear!

I rented this dress to wear to a black tie optional wedding. I got endless compliments all night long! The dress is very comfortable even though it's a bit heavy, the only complaint I had was that the straps kept falling off. I'm small-chested and would maybe have worn the size 2 except RTR wasn't able to include it in my order. Partway through the day the boning in the dress bodice started to poke through the lining of the dress and stab me, but it wasn't a huge issue.

The front and back have pieces that are meant to stick up but they kept flopping down. Got a lot of compliments though, thick and warm so good for spring weddings in chilly places.

This dress was perfect for when I wanted to feel pretty (at 5 months post partum), so wasn't feeling a very tight dress. This was forgiving in places where I wanted it to be, but I still felt cute and dressed up.

I loved this dress! The detail and color were stunning. I also found it very comfortable. The straps slipped a few times but I appreciated the boning in the chest that helped keep the dress up. 

Dress fit true to size, was light enough for a summer wedding and got so many compliments! I wore it to an outdoor wedding in June and felt comfortable all night. The straps were a little loose, I'd probably just tuck them in if I wore it again. 

Statistics...5’4”, 130 lbs, 64 yrs old. This dress fit like a glove, really beautiful fabric, ankle length for me. Perfect for any formal occasion!

Very pretty dress. Straps were a tiny bit loose. Loved the detail of the lace and the colors. 

Loved this dress! Got so many compliments! The lace part is actually pink and green, but would be fine year round (it didn't feel too springy.) I wore it without the straps, and didn't try it with. The 4 fit perfect, but probably runs a little big (I am usually a 6). The waist and material are forgiving :)
It does run a bit long- hit me right above my feet.
Would definitely rent again!!

The pictures online make it look more gold and black. It is actually green and peach flowers. I still liked it. Can be worn with nude or black shoes. The straps kept falling down and it was difficult to zip. But overall it looked pretty on. It is a lot of material so wouldn't recommend if you are bit thicker in the hip area. It just makes you look wider. 

I am typically a size 0 or 00; the dress fit well, slightly large but I didn't mind. Being 5'1" the dress was floor length but again I didn't mind the over all fit (just doesn't resemble how it fits the model). This dress is worth the rental for the unique pattern and design; definitely a head turner! I got lots of compliments and felt like I stood out in the crowd with this interesting but not over the top dress! Highly recommend for a wedding in the winter/fall because the material is thick.

The 2 fit me well, it had a little room in the chest area but waist and everything else fit. 

This dress was nice but I wasn't a huge fan of the lace in person, I'm petite and thought it looked heavy on me. The lace flowers on the front of the chest also flop down, I would have taped them to myself but ultimately decided to return/not wear. 

Lovely dress for a late fall wedding. 
Straps were small but sturdy. 
Glad I sized down for the second option because the 6R was too big. 

Absolutely stunning dress; much thicker fabric than I expected and the color is even prettier in person! It fits very true to size and what i loved most, was not needing a bra with it...for busty women, you get it.. it had just enough support. 
Everyone needed to know where I got my dress! I can't say enough good things about the dress and the experience of it all! Can't wait to do it again!
