This dress was so fun to wear! It was super comfortable, and the floral pattern is beautiful. I got so many compliments on it. The front does go very low, so as long as you have a way to keep yourself situated, you'll be fine. I wore a deep v bra (because I just can't make myself go braless) and was good to go. The length was perfect with flats on. It brushed the tops of my feet. I do wish I had gotten the 6L because it was very cold, and I ended up wearing wedge boots, so it was a little short. Would definitely recommend! 

I felt glam in this dress, didn't need to wear spanx because it's so flowy. There is a ton of fabric - my guess is that short women will not like this dress as much because they may feel like they're drowning in it with all the fabric! This dress is definitely great for tall women. Would definitely wear again. I am tall and was able to wear 4 inch platforms with the 6L.

I rented this for Fall family photos with my daughters- it was really flattering & beautiful. It's TTS, but was a bit snug in the chest area- so size up if you're busty. It has a deep V,  but a cami underneath would look nice for a more conservative look. The slits were also a nice touch. One of my favorite rentals.

This dress was incredibly comfortable and flattering.  It had so much movement with the slits!  I felt like I was dressed to the 9's in that low key, I barely tried, kind of way.  Got tons of compliments, even from people who weren't at the party!

This was 100% the boho chic vibe I was looking for at an outdoor wedding in Northern California in early fall! Many of the reviews said the dress ran long and large in the chest. I am 6' tall with size A36 chest and I found that it was actually true to size, maybe even a bit small! The 10L wasn't available so I got the 10R and it was fine especially since I wore flats and danced a lot but still would have preferred the 10L. No problems with the chest. I was able to wear a strapless bra no issue. When I raised my arms up the shoulders sometimes fell off. Also, a couple times the bell sleeve got caught in the zipper of my purse. Other than that it was great and super flattering! Highly recommend!

The slits on this dress might not work for all weddings, but I loved it and got so many compliments. I have large upper arms and this dress was not tight there which was amazing. One thing is that shapewear with built in shorts will likely poke through the slits - so you'll need to use double stick tape to close the slits a bit. But truly I loved this dress. 100% would recommend. 

I wore this to my future sister-in-laws wedding reception. She had an Indian wedding, so I wore traditional Indian clothes for the ceremony, and then wore this for the reception. It was very lightweight, even with the long sleeves and floor length. I LOVED the slit up the thigh. The dress does have a deep plunge, but because it's so lightweight, double-sided tape worked really well with it. I received so many compliments on this dress, and now I'm obsessed with this style. I wish I could afford to buy it!

Perfect fit. True to size.  Felt like a million bucks.  Should have bought this one.  

This dress was perfect for Easter.  I had to wear a camisole under it to make it Church appropriate.  I got tons of compliments and was comfortable all day.   I would buy this dress if I could! 

Fits true to size. Definitely low cut but can be helped with fashion tape. No issues with length for short girls if worn with heels. One of the best rentals I've ever done!

This dress is to-die-for! It fit so perfectly and was so was light and flowy that I could dance and not feel constricted or get too hot. I was stopped repeatedly and compliment on it. Perfect spring wedding dress. My only regret is that I can’t keep it! 

I felt like a goddess in this dress. The size 14 was a perfect fit, but beware, your boobs will be out! I used a pin to tuck them in a little. The length was great with a three-inch heal and the pop of leg was super fun. I wore this to a Kacey Musgraves concert and was probably the most glamorous woman at the Ryman (besides her, of course!). 

The zippers are always so difficult. This one is on the side so it's much more manageable otherwise great fit!

Great fit, style and fabric. I'm 5'9 and 12L was perfect! 

LOVED this dress - way prettier in person. Only problem was it was a little too big, but made it work. Pretty low cut and high slots, but perfect for a sexy yet low-key look.

Love this. Fitted in the rib cage. Amazing flow and cut. Low in the front, I wore a tank under for less cleavage. Silk base, great fabric. 

Scene stealing dress that I wore to afternoon party...lots of compliments. A bit low cut in the front-so be ready to show a bit more. Flowy and open but still pretty comfy. I ordered a 4 instead of a 6-(wasn't paying attention)-still fit-but tight in my chest area. 

I rented this dress for my boyfriends birthday dinner. Fitted and flowey in all the right places. Fabric was substantial enough for December. Would rent again!

Fit is to size on the waist. You will need double sided tape to make sure the top doesn't gape open too much. A little on the long side, I am 5' 4'' and wore 3 inch wedges and the dress just skimmed the floor.
I felt sexy, comfortable, and beautiful!

This dress is true to size and absolutely beautiful. Got tons of compliments on it.

This dress was perfect for a winter wedding. I got so many compliments on it. I am 5'7, 125 pounds and ended up going with the size 0. It was slightly tight around the bust area and I am small chested but other than that, it fit pretty true to size. All in all, this is a great dress!!! 

I wore this on vacation in Jamaica in December. Even with the long sleeves it was still perfectly comfortable in the 70% humidity because the fabric is so light and airy. I wore it twice in 1 week I loved it so much. I would have bought it through my unlimited membership if I lived in a place where I could wear it more than once or twice a year. It fit basically true to size, maybe it runs just a tad big but not by much. I'm usually an 8, which would have fit fine but I went with the 6R and it was just snug enough to fit my chest area well without making me self conscious about by my stomach area. I highly recommend you rent this dress! 

I wore this for my Bday weekend to go wine tasting. It fit like a glove and I felt beautiful. 5'7", 155lbs. 34/B cup. 


I got this dress as a surprise backup from RTR when my original choice wasn't available, and it was SO much better than the one I would have picked. It's insanely flattering. I was worried it'd be too summery for a November event, but the colors are autumnal and the fabric heavy enough that it worked perfectly. The sleeves are so fun -- I was singing at this wedding and felt like I'd gone full Florence & the Machine. The way the silk flows makes you feel like all eyes are on you, even when you're just walking to the buffet. If you feel comfortable going braless (I did), the cut is perfect, though I did use a little tape on the shoulders. And the print is bold yet simple enough that you could go minimal or maximal with accessories -- I went with sea-green earrings and a simple necklace. I'm 5'8 and the 6R just brushed my feet, so I wore flats; if I'd wanted to go for heels I'd have liked a 6L, but that's such a minor issue. I got compliments on it from wedding guests across every age and gender spectrum. I loved wearing it so much that I refused to take it off even after I went home, just swanned around my apartment in it for a while. Returning it was a wrench. Thank you, RTR stylists!

This dress is the epitome of perfection. It's soooo flattering and fit like a glove. And this is WITHOUT a bra because it's designed that well. This is what a well designed dress looks like. Bravo!

Worried it would be too light for November but has several layers of silk and fall tones in print. It's gorgeous 

Perfect for my hourglass shape. The sleeves have little buttons at the wrists, which keep the fabric from falling into your food! The outer fabric is silk, which breathes beautifully. 

I absolutely love this dress! It is generous in the breast area, and for a top heavy woman this was perfect. I knew it had a deep plunge, just be prepared to have to tape the ladies in because they will come pouring out if not! It was loose and flowing everywhere except immediately under the breast area where it is fitted. Just know you'll have to have help with the side zipper. 

Loved this dress. Perfect for a fall October outdoor wedding in Texas. I felt like a princess. 

LOVED this dress! I felt absolutely stunning and never usually rent anything this low cut as I am a 36A. I rented a 6 and 4 as I am a little wider around my ribs so I usually wear 6, but wore the 4. The sleeves on the 6 were so much bigger (sleeves are a little poofy but loose) so the 4 was better. If I was eating I may have felt self conscious but the print and the way the dress laid on me felt so flattering; plus for me I was just taking pics. There are also slits on the front on both sides for both legs? Kinda strange when walking but I still would rent this again!

I rented this dress for our Christmas card pictures and t didn't disappoint! It's pretty low cut so I wore a tank underneath but the length and fit were great

I loved this dress!  I wore it to a wedding and it was a hit.  The fit was great except for maybe a little loose in the bust area.  I have a large chest and could not go without a bra so I ended up using a lot of fashion tape to keep the girls tucked in.  It worked like a charm even with all the dancing and drinking I was doing lol.  I loved this dress so much I would purchase it if I could afford it : )

The photos do not do this dress justice at all. I wore this to a Florence + the Machine concert. The way it floats through the air as you walk, the semi-transparent bell sleeves, the slits on the sides -- I am considering buying this one! The fiancee also LOVES it so that doesn't hurt lol. I have a larger bust, but a simple bralette kept the girls in place. The 12R fit me fine and left some wiggle room for a big dinner before the show. I could have probably worn the 10, which is my usual size, but it wasn't available. I might switch it when it becomes available, and if it fits my sides better, this might become a permanent fixture in my closet!

I rented this dress for a couples shoot with my husband and it was EVERYTHING. I never wear anything that has cleavage so I was nervous about this dress. But I wanted to feel sexy and beautiful and this dress did NOT disappoint. Loved it so much.

The lining on the inside is starting to tear in spots so this dress seems like it's been getting a lot of attention from renters but you couldn't tell at all when I was wearing it. Very long, even with heals it was dragging but that was what I was going for so I didn't mind.

The dress fit my waist perfectly. I'm flat chested so I didn't need a bra, which was great given the fact that the chest and back plunge are not conducive for said undergarment. But, since I'm an A cup I had to rely on lots of double sided tape to keep the top in place. I'm 5'9" and I ordered the 16L, I should have ordered the 16R. I will 100% order this phenomenal dress again! Stunning! 

A couple of notes. This dress is LONG. I'm 5'5, wore 3" heels and still had to constantly lift it off the ground or risk tripping. There's also literally no way to wear a bra unless you intend for it to show. That said, if you're willing to risk going without, I found that with the help of a little fashion tape, the top stayed secure even while I was cutting it up on the dance floor! 

Loved this dress for an outdoor fall wedding but I wanted to wear a bra  so I needed to get fashion tape to help hold up the top of the dress.  I am 5'7" and wore it with flat sandles and didn't have a problem with the length.   It was super comfortable and I received a ton of compliments!  

Absolutely loved this dress. I typically wear a 10 based on hip size (I'm a bit pear shaped) but was able to wear a 6 for this. It was a touch too small around the waist (an 8 would have been perfect) but the overall looseness allowed it to still work and look beautiful! At 5'4", it was still a little too long with 2 1/2" heels, but functional. Fashion tape is a must for the top or the shoulders will slip.

This dress was perfect for my engagement photos and made me feel amazing! The print went wonderfully with the gorgeous fall leaves and made for some pretty outstanding photos. The only thing I was not thrilled with was how the bust was cut. As many of the other reviews have said the dress is very low cut making it hard to wear a bra underneath. I used a lot of gaffer tape  and double sided tape to prevent me from being completely scandalous and to keep my 40 DD bust from looking super saggy. 

I absolutely loved everything about this dress. It fit me perfectly, was flowing and comfortable, and a perfect balance of beautiful and sexy. I received nothing but compliments. 

HOWEVER, I will be hesitant to rent another dress from RTR! I received the dress, briefly tried it on to ensure that it fit properly, and hung it in my closet. It must have been a combination of the amount of time I had it on while ensuring its fit, and the fact that both times I put it on, I did so by stepping into the dress (as the wide neckline allowed this) that I somehow was unaware of the condition in which the dress was sent to me. Unfortunately, i didn't realize until it was too late (while stepping out of the car at the event on a breezy day) that the dress wreaked of body odor! The smell was so pungent and concentrated that it was unbearable! There is NO possible way that this dress was properly laundered/dry cleaned between rentals. The smell coupled with the realization that I was wearing a dress that was at one point obviously soaked in someone else's sweat, made the situation even more disgusting. As much as I hate to say it, I don't know that I could confidently rent a dress again without the uncertainty of  whether or not I would be receiving a clean, non odorous dress. Such a terrible and disappointing experience! 

This dress was super comfortable and has a really pretty floral pattern. Only con was that it didn't fit totally through the shoulders and the sleeve kept falling down. I had on a bra designed for low cut dresses and every time the sleeve fell down my bra showed. My husband was constantly motioning to me that my bra was out so I felt like I was readjusting all night. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars, otherwise great dress! 

If you have hips/chest- may want to get a size up.  My chest was out there but it was still appropriate and not over the top. 

Great length, needs dress tape as cleavage was hard to contain. Fits a little large, if it would have been available I would order backup size. Fabric was beautiful, perfect flow for dancing and beach breeze. I was mother of the bride and thought it appropriate for our venue, but not if held in more formal or faith based ceremony. Loved the dress!

Runs a little big in the waist area and cut a little low

Wore this out for an evening in Vegas. Got many compliments. Fit almost perfect except under bust which was too tight. Still, one of my favorite outfits from Rtr ever

I can see why everyone loves this - it's very drapey and bohemian and quite lovely. But on me it was just too big and shapeless and revealing. Very long! Would've had to wear 2" heels to wear this. 

I felt very feminine in this dress. I wore it at home for Christmas Eve with my family/parents. The sleeves are beautiful but was really worried I'd catch fire trying to cook in them. I kept having to hold them out of the way but I doubt too many others would try to cook in this!! I went bless which made it uber comfy but I will say it fit me a little more like a mum than a fitted maxi. The "waist" is a band just below the bust but it was pretty big (even for the rib cage) and didn't add much form to the dress. The skirt is also VERY full and adds a few inches across the hips as well. I don't think a size down would have fit length wise as the chest length was barely long enough. At 5'9" the 10R fit perfectly with flats so roller girls definitely need the Long if you want to wear this with heels.  It was a great dress for a "home for the holidays" dinner but I doubt I would have worn it out. Very feminine but too much of a mumu for my taste to wear out. really pretty though!

I loved this maxi. It is so flattering and gorgeous and not too long on my 5'2" frame. It did run a bit small, I typically wear a 16/18 and I should have sized up to the 20. It would be a great dress to wear to a wedding but with flats, you can pull it off for day to day as well. 

I really wanted to order this dress, the only available size was a 12. I'm normally a 10 so I knew it would be a little loose on me. Even if I had gotten a 10, I still believe the top would be too loose for me. I used fashion tape to help with the front. It is long--and I'm a tall girl, heels are a must with this dress. I got many compliments this night!
