RTR never fails to step up and make you the center of attention!
This dress was a gorgeous color, but the bust area was very small and tight and I am not big chested so for a bigger chest this dress would not work, as it has ZERO stretch! It also looks shiny and in person it was not.

My 3rd RTR!
So.. I didn't know how to rate this. It was small in the chest area, like extremely tight and I don't have a huge chest by any means. It was looser in the stomach area. For my height, it reached to the knees which is a little long for me but might be perfect for all of you lucky tall people! Great color in person and the fabric hides any lumps or bumps you might want to hide!

Rented for a work retreat casino night event. Lots of compliments!
Dress fit small across bust. Hard to zip by yourself through the ruching.
Loved it though! Beautiful once I got it on. Tons of compliments! As others have noted, it is a cotton dress. Looks more formal than it feels.

It photographs beautifully.
I received compliments all night. The color is one of a kind. I wore it for a summer wedding and it was perfect. Is it bit tight on the bust area so I opt out on wearing bra and it provided it the lifting and cushion on its own. It goes great with silver accessories. The only issue I had is that I couldn't show off some of my dance moves since its tight all around.

Tight in the bust and waist.
Loved the color of this dress! I would recommend ordering a size up since it fit tight in the chest and torso. Otherwise beautiful dress and great fit. Didn't show off too much cleavage.

Beautiful color! Love this dress.
The color of this dress is gorgeous and for the rental price you really can't beat it! The straps were a little big however I think I was the only one who noticed and once we got moving around and dancing I had no problem at all.

Great dress
The 42 fit well. Since the dress is tighter, I liked that it was longer to balance it out and still feel very age / occasion appropriate. As you can see it hit me right about the knees.

Cut was super cute but the color was faded from too much laundering.
I ordered this dress in sizes 40 and 42 as a back up for a wedding. Takeaways:
- Very flattering cut
- Like other reviewers, the dress's straps were too long on me
- Color (in both dresses) seemed faded and some areas seemed much lighter

This dress was so fun to wear. I wish I could have kept it!
This dress was the perfect color for a summer wedding. I got a lot of compliments. The dress fit me well. I have a small bust, but the dress fit me very well in that area. It was a little tight around the hips, but after I wore it for a while, I didn't notice it. I did have to keep pulling the dress down as it was riding up. As others have said, the straps were a little big and kept falling off while dancing. I also ordered the 42 size, which fit better around the hips, but was too big in the bust and shoulders. I could have worn it, but the 40 size fit better overall. I'm glad I ordered the smaller size. Overall, the dress was beautiful and I loved it!!

Beautiful color and fit me like a glove!
I typically wear between a 6 or 8. I chose the 44. It fit like a glove! The 46 gave me a bit more breathing room, but looked a little boxy and didn't hug my curves the way the 44 did.
The only con is that the dress is starting to look a bit worn. Some of the fabric is fading along the edges, but truly nothing you would notice unless really looking up close.
Overall, beautiful dress! I received MANY compliments!

Sleek & Sexy
I got a lot of compliments on this dress. It fit me very well and showed off my figure. The fit was a little snug but the size 2 was a little too baggy so I decided to suck it in and go with the 0. I would have given this dress 5 stars, however the zipper was a pain in the butt! Even when I had the dress off, the zipper was extremely difficult. I prayed every time i had to zip it up and down that I would not pop the zipper. Other than that, no complaints. Worn with nude shoes and gold jewelry

Great fit, beautiful color
This dress fit me like a glove! It wasn't my first choice but when I tried it on I loved it. The material is not stretchy at all so i'd definitely recommend going a size up as well just in case. The top of this dress is really tight, i didn't need to wear a bra. The shoulders were a little big as well. The color was really pretty and one of a kind at the wedding I went to!

Formal wedding
This dress was a beautiful and vibrant color! I am 5'5 with a pear shaped body. It fit perfectly if not a little bit loosely in the hips but it was probably two sizes to big in the bust area. I am a 34B cup but I had to pin the bust area and still struggled with some bra straps being visible but overall I would recommend the dress! Very comfortable, did wrinkle easily but I received a lot of compliments and I felt beautiful.

I loved the color of this dress. It fit me fantastically and was extremely comfortable.
The dress did get very wrinkled after a short amount of time. The straps also felt loose. If the straps were tighter, I would want to wear this dress everyday! so beautiful!

Great first experience.
As other people have stated the straps are a bit long but not to where they fell off my shoulders. The dress was very comfortable. The zipper was a little tough, I needed a little help with that. I felt great in the dress and was able to dance the night away in it.

Beautiful dress, but Fits tight through the hips. I wore one size up from my normal, and loved the fit. I found the straps to be just slightly long, but still wearable. I loved the color, and felt really pretty all night.

This dress made me feel so beautiful!
This dress was perfect for my body type. It was very form fitted which worked well for me because I have a straighter slimmer body type. The color was vibrant and pretty and the cut was gorgeous. Very classy. Definitely was a head turner. I received many compliments throughout the night! Tip to ladies who are on the bustier side, the material is not stretchy and especially on top, does not have a lot of give. I'm not very busty so it work very well for me but if I was it would have been difficult. I would definitely recommend this dress, it made my night very special! Just a heads up, it is form fitting, and the material is very revealing but if you are confident in your body and yourself go for it! It's a total knock out!

The fit was about average for a size 0. The zipper is a little difficult getting past the fabric on the stomach/chest area.

Great color and length
I love the color of this dress, perfect for a spring wedding. I also loved the length. I'm a bit on the tall side so finding dresses that are an appropriate length (esp when I sit down) is sometimes hard. It is not a satin finish so it can be dressed up or down. Also, the pleats at the top sometimes seemed to lay a bit funny but nothing anyone else would notice.

Hi! I need some fitting advice before I rent for my bridesmaids. Two of them wear a size 6 but one of them has size 37 hips which on the chart is a size 8 but she's a size 6 every where else. You have the same build as them, do you think she could fit into this dress with 37"inch hips? She's skinny so I think a 6 would look great on her I just want to make sure the dress would zip up. Maybe I should get two sizes for her? What do you think? Thanks!
JenniferJune 9, 2015
I did order the 6 & the 8 but the 8 was too big up top since I'm not size 8 big up there. I mainly just have big hips. I definitely wore Spanx and it was tight. The fabric kind of has a pleated wrinkly look anyway so having it rise up and pulling it down was annoying but didn't make it look bad in pictures or just standing around. I'd say if they want to feel comfortable try an 8 but a 6 would definitely fit if they're like me.

Size 8-HUGE for a size 8. Beautiful though, can't wait to try in yellow.
Last order I ordered a few dresses in a 6. They were all a little small but could still be worn. This times round I ordered 8's and they dropped to the floor ! No chance I could wear this, but its beautiful!!! Love the color! I will try again !

The dress was great and many people commented on how great the color looked on me.
The fit was great for my figure. The straps kept falling and it was a little annoying however, it didnt stop me from having fun at my friend's wedding. The fabric was cotton and not shiny material as pictured. This was my first RTR experience and can't wait to come back!

Long, comfortable, conservative, nice color, awkward pleats.
Almost exchanged this for a smaller size. Loose in the hips and waist. Also very long. I'm 5'9" and it was past my knees. The pleats did not lay flat on the bust and that bothered me a little bit. Due to the shape of the neckline, my bra peeked out occasionally (luckily I have a bra in this exact color!). I did have to iron it; it wrinkled easily. The color was nice and it was comfortable, but a little too conservative for my taste. It might be a good dress for a family or a business event. Maybe I'd feel differently if i had sized down. I wear a size 8-10 normally, and I would recommend getting the 44 and 46. Lastly, as many have said, the material is more casual than it looks in the model photo- not shiny, just a cotton type fabric. I dressed it up with more formal jewelry and heels though. This could work for day or night.

small in the ribcage area
I tried the 40 based on reviews from people that were around 5"3, 125 pounds and it wouldn't zip over part of my rib cage and boobs. the rest of the dress fits great so i wonder if sizing up would make it look frumpy, but there is not stretch in the rib cage/chest area. i would not recommend this to someone that has a full bust

This dress's bright color made me pop out in the crowd!
Unfortunately, the weather kinda messed up my order and they only had the 40 available to overnight since I wouldn't be receiving the original order on time with a 40 and 42. Luckily though, the 40 fit well enough I was able to wear it. To be quite honest, it fit me like a glove everywhere, I didn't even wear a bra. So, for those of you who have a bust larger than 32 inches, a 40 might be tight up top. This dress worked well surprisingly because I have much larger hips compared to the top. The little bit of stretch in it worked out well! The zipper is a bit difficult though.

Wore this for a Long Island wedding, great color, good fit
This is a beautiful dress. I will say the material looks more casual in person than in pictures. The top is pretty tight with no stretch. Wrinkles easily. I don't think this dress would be flattering on all body types. I don't remember, but I don't think I ended up needing to wear a bra. Difficult to get into and out of on your own because of the lack of stretch.

Sophisticated & Sexy
I loved this dress - the color, fit, everything! It looks like "just a sheath" in some ways, but it really fits very nicely. It is a little longer, so petite ladies like me - note that it will hit you right above the knee. My only minor compliant was that the straps were very loose, so I had to tap them down (but that just meant a slight gap in the back). I also like to cover up my cleavage, so that required some tape as well. Otherwise, this was one fabulous dress!

Fabric did not give, I'm larger on bottom, so dress was a bit tighter around my hips. The color was really beautiful.

The customer service is amazing.!
I ordered the 44 and 46. The 46 was way too large. The 44 had a few stains and RTR overnighted another size 44 to me. The customer service was so fast and friendly. Overall the dress was nice and I enjoyed it. I will try another next time.

Couldn't wear it.
I normally wear a 10 or 8, which is what I ordered according to RTR's size conversions provided in the order drop-downs (sizes 48 and 46). I tried on the 46 first and it fit on the bottom, but the top was so big that there is no way I could wear the dress. I am technically a pear in that my hips measure slightly larger than my bust, but I am by no means small chested (34DD), so this was an odd problem for me to have. Would have been cute if it fit.

This dress is the prettiest color and I wish it would have worked. I am curvy and the bottom fit fine, but the top was so large that i couldn't wear it. Thank goodness I rented another dress, the other one was fantastic.

the dress was a knock out! The only down fall is that the straps slipped alot, so I would recommend a strapless bra or fashion tape.

My hot Banana Republic backup dress
I'm very curvy with a narrow waist and ribcage. This dress in a size 42 did nothing for my shape, I didn't bother trying on the 44. Maybe If I had tried a 40, it would have worked but that was not a risk I was willing to take since it says to order up a size. I will live to RTR another day.
