This dress was great for a nightime summer event with friends. Very comfortable and easy to wear and I received lots of compliments. I'm tall and the length was good. I also have a full bust and the top was perfect. Good coverage but not too much. The cinched high waist gave me a good shape as well. I wore a size 8 so I actually think this dress runs a bit large. Right now I'm around a 10. Very comfortable and easy to wear. Highly recommend it.

I rented this dress for my bridal shower this past weekend and it was perfect! Very "bridey" and my shower guests adored it. Definitely needed to wear some spanx b/c those lines in the fabric are rather see through. The length is longer which I prefer. I rented 2 sizes and the smaller one (a size down from what I normally wear) was perfect. The skirt poofs out a little so the larger size looked silly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the ruffled collar area is supposed to lay flat but it absolutely would not! I suppose it's been dry cleaned several times so the fabric will not go back down and I didn't like that. Overall I was very happy with the dress!

Recently rented this dress for my own bridal shower- I adore this dress. Got a lot of compliments on it. I am a size 10 right now in most clothes but I actually wore a size 8 in this dress. Something you cannot see about this dress is that it has pockets but are barely visible when your hands arent in them. Would reccomend this dress!

I rented this for my bridal shower and absolutely loved it! If the dress arrives and ruffles are a bit fussy, I suggest doing what I did (if you have a pre-event day to spare): Spread out a few bobby pins to slip over the ruffles inward toward to dress so that they lay flat, let it hang overnight, and it'll be good to go in the morning! This a-line is extremely forgiving for the hips and the pockets are an added plus.

This is a very cute dress. I ordered a size 4 and it fit perfectly except it was a bit to short for me as I am 5'10".

Cute style, but a couple of things I didn't realize:
1. It runs large. I normally wear a 6 in dresses. I got the 6&8 just in case, but I should have gotten the 2 & 4. I was swimming in this dress.
2. It looks wrinkly -- that's just the style of the dress. You can kind of see it in the picture on the website, but the little folds are more pronounced in person, so it makes it look a little cheapy.
The length was just right for me though, so many dresses on here are WAY too short for a tall person, so that was nice.

Great Spring Dress!

I rented this dress for Easter this year and ended up wearing it. I wish I got two sizes in this dress (and not the other one I had sent). Being a curvaceous girl (36D) the bust area was a bit snug. I also felt a little too much like 'little miss muffet' but for Easter, it was a HIT. Very comfortable and light weight. I would absolutely recommend this dress! I received tons of complements and it was appropriate for both church and brunch with a cute coral cardigan.

Not for me
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Vacation
I ended up not wearing this one since it was my least favorite of the 4 I rented for my 1 year anniversary vacation. The puckered cotton seersucker fabric is absolutely gorgeous with that easy beachy vibe, but the overdesigned ruffles and bow are way too much. My plan was to wear a wide wrap belt to cover that bow in the front, but I wasn't expecting those ruffles to be so crazy going every direction. I tried steam ironing them down, but they kept going back to being crazy... too fussy. It's too bad because the fabric and skirt portion is so pretty; unfortunately the top does not work as well. I just wish the upper half was simpler and a more flattering cut.

Cute, but not for me.
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
This dress was cute but super "fiddly". The ruffles at the top were way too messy and all over the place. The material itself was also just wrinkly looking overall which wouldn't have bothered me if the ruffles weren't also an issue on top of that. I couldn't tell from the picture but the bottom poofed out which I thought was cute. The fit was great, seemed to run large as I usually wear a 12 but wore a 10 in this dress (5'6 and fluctuate between 145-150 pounds). I rented this as a back up dress for a White Party and did not choose to wear it.

It was very casual and comfortable for our outdoor wedding rehearsal & dinner!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal on the beach. I had read in other reviews that it was very wrinkly, which was true. I tried to iron the collar down and the bow was crooked, which wouldn't stay with ironing either. I rented the size 0 and 2. The 0 fit but was a bit tight in the ribcage area, so I went with the size 2 even though the neckline was a little looser than I wanted. It was a very comfortable dress, and is perfect for a casual event.

I normally wear a size 6/8 and the 6 fit perfectly! If you are in between sizes definitely size down. The collar was a little out of control when I first put it on so I ironed it down and it looked just fine. Great for graduations or summer parties!

i brought this dress to kiawah for a family vacation. wore it to dinner at the club and fit right in - super preppy but with a fashion forward twist. very flattering - small clasps by the bust make sure that the low cut neckline doesn't reveal anything. the fabric is very soft and light - great for even the hot south carolina weather.

The flattering fit and pockets made this dress a hit and I got a lot of compliments on the style
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I rented this dress to use at my semi-casual afternoon bridal shower. The fit was very comfortable and I felt like I could move around in it (which is key trying to maneuver around the room to welcome people, as well as setting up the room before hand!). The pockets were an extra bonus, for stashing things that I needed to carry with me. I received a lot of compliments on the dress, and the size 4 fit me perfectly, which is odd because I'm normally a 6 to an 8 in dresses. I was able to use it again the next day at a ladies' tea party and it worked well for that too, since it was very summery and I dressed it down with a pair of sandals. Also, the shade of white was very flattering with my suntan! Really perfect, I wish I could keep the dress to use at work!!

The perfect dress to wear to my wedding shower by the beach. I got tons of compliments, told EVERYONE about RTR, and could even stash tissues in the pockets for the more emotional moments!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
This was my first RTR outfit and it went just as I had hoped. I wanted a cute white dress for my bridal shower near the beach and this dress worked out perfectly. I had recently lost weight, so getting 2 dress sizes is a must. I rented the 10 and 8, and ended up wearing the 8 as it was more flattering through the hips. However, I did need Spanx to help with the waist fitting. The hooks at the V-neck were really great for keeping my full chest in line. The only thing to note is that it's almost too short when sitting down, and wearing spanx that don't go down your thigh would have been best. Overall, great experience start to finish and I got TONS of compliments. Oh, and the pockets are a great touch too!

As usual renting the dress was super easy, but I could never have imagined receiving so many compliments. The dress was perfect!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I rented this dress to wear to Diner en Blanc and it was such a hit! The dress was gorgeous and ultra feminine. I loved that it was comfy (best part was that you could wear a regular bra!) and since I was on the planning committee, the pockets really came in handy! I received so many compliments on the dress and would absolutely wear it again.
I rented both the 4 and the 6 since I read that the dress ran large and because of the cut, the 4 fit best and hit me in all of the right places.
The only issue with the dress (as many others have noted), was the ruffles at the top. It was kind of hard to keep them pressed down so that they didn't look crumpled up.

Rehearsal dinner dress
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress for my rehearsal dinner and it was a huge hit. I ended up wearing the 4 because the 6 was far too big (I usually wear a 6). However, the chest area in the 4 was a bit tight (I'm a C cup). Despite that, I still enjoyed the dress and received many compliments on it. The ruffles and bow were a non-issue once I gave it a quick steam.

The RTR delivery and return experience were fantastic!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I read the reviews from others on this dress and decided to get a size smaller than I would normally wear. The 4 was perfect. The material of this dress makes it perfect for a summer party (a bit on the casual side). The bottom of the dress was a little poofier than I thought it would be (it didn't lay as flat as it looks on the model and I felt a bit marshmellow-ish), but I got compliments all night!

Cute dress, runs large
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I really liked the dress. I wore it for my engagement party over Labor Day weekend. It was light-weight and comfortable and perfect for an end of summer affair. My complaint however, is like many of the other reviewers said, the bow and ruffles just would not lay flat, giving it a bit of a wrinkled appearance. If I had more time I might have tried harder to iron them down, but with so much going on that day I wasn't able to.

Wore for my wedding shower, probably would have picked another dress...
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I was excited after seeing other pictures of this dress and thought it would be perfect for my summer wedding shower. When I received the dresses, the larger size had yellow discoloring along the bottom hem of the dress. The smaller size had noticeable makeup stains and tears along the inside lining of the neckline. I immediately contacted rtr as I did not want to be held responsible for the damages and they were prompt and offered me a refund and future discount.
The fabric is a bit stiff and the neckline ruffles have a mind of their own. I ended up bobby pinning the ruffles overnight to try to hold them down. This also showed a bit too much cleavage than I had expected. Right above the bow there is a hook but it is rather low and most bras will show.
Overall, it got the job done but I would not recommend the dress.

Flattering fit for any occasion

Overall fit: True to Size

I loved this dress and received many compliments! I ordered two sizes and they both looked large to me and the smaller size (4) fit perfectly. At the time, I had some extra baby weight and this dress hid it all well and I felt confident. The neck line was slightly lower than I would have wanted since I was so busty at that time (and it was even pinned from a previous renter.) The finish on the dress appeared dingy to me at first, but once it was on, it looked perfectly white.

Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size

This is the best dress ever! It fit true to size. As with the other reviews I did notice that the bust/chest area felt tighter as the day went on. I wore this to a First Communion party, paired it with a brown wedge strappy sandal and threw a denim jacket over it as it was a little breezy during the day and it looked fab! I also love the pockets. This dress can be dressed down or up by just changing up your shoes and jewelry. Its a very feminine, and clean looking dress. So many compliments that day!!!!
