Loved this pattern and fit for holiday parties! There is a built in corset that squeezed everything in place!

I wore this dress to 2 fall formal weddings and loved it. The fit however is very tricky--I was able to try it on in the RL store before renting which was the only reason I went with a 4 vs my typical 8-10. There is a stiff corset front panel but it's not adjustable, it's just a structural element--combined with the lack of strap adjustments if you go true to size you will have a ton of gaping in the front. Even sized down I used fashion tape along the top and straps to secure everything. I'd recommend ordering 2 sizes and having some fashion tape and safety pins on hand!

The fabric was so light but looked luxe. 

This dress is so pretty and easy to wear. I felt modestly sexy and comfortable. I wore it for a date night to the theater and my husband's high school reunion. It was a little loose fitting, so I wore a padded strapless bra to fill in the top... it could have been more snug, but I'd rather have it a bit loose than squeezing into something. In that note, I think too many people "squeeze into" RTR outfits and they stretch out. 

Others have said this dress runs a bit big in chest and I agree.  I am a full 38 D and I still had room in this size 14!  Because of the thicker material in corset and chest, was able to forgo a bra.  Wore to a wedding on the coast and was really comfortable and received lots of complements.  Was able to easily slip this dress over my head so didn’t need to use the zipper.  The straps were possibly 1/2 inch too long but did not slip down.  The 12 also fit but was a little bit tighter for my large rib cage so I opted for the 14 for comfort!

Summer formal dinner. Loved it! Fit was great and very flattering - cinched in waist 

Perfect for a nice dinner out, im short and paired with sandals was perfect. Not uncomfortable with a bump

I LOVED this dress. As a busty gal (38F/G) I was scared this dress which has minimal stress would not work for me but oh my gosh, it was perfect! I got so many compliments on it and it fit me like a dream. I’m 5’3” 175 and more of a pear shape. 

Wore for a graduation presentation/banquet. Was surprised at how soft and flowy the material was. Got lots of compliments and love that there were little hooks to attach my bra straps to the dress straps so I didn't have to wear a strapless bra. 

Fit well, and I got a ton of compliments on this. Was great for a night at the symphony! I am pretty muscular so broad chested and broad backed and the 6 fit fine for me; I’m 5’4 1/2 and 165 pounds!

Super cute dress, used it for a dia de los muertes gala, and it was the perfect style. Needed heels for the dress to fall at a walkable length. Corest was nice, fit my bust, the straps were a little loose. Otherwise, a great dress.

Paired with a black blazer for a convention talk and it was perfect! Great length with 2.5" heels. The shoulder straps were too long for my short frame so I had to pin those. If I were wearing it to a gala or dress up event I would have sized down, this one had a bit too much looseness to be formal

Fit exactly as expected! Loved the pattern to add a little something to a classic black wedding guest dress

Excellent fit, strapless bra OK. Does not wrinkle.

Wore to a wedding.  The straps were a little long but I am short torsoed

great for a fall wedding. True to size and fits great for tall girls 

Love this fit! I'm usually an 8 in the busy area but this dress is better when it fits as a corset, so size 6 fit perfectly you don't need a bra! Great support and super flattering, will definitely rent again.

Wore for an upscale welcome party. A little more chic than the classic floral design (more true to the natural beauty of flowers than a tight block-print repeating design). Beautiful material and perfect length for me with heels. Comfortable all night. 

This gown is TTS. I’m 5.6, 140 and always a 6, the 6 fit like a glove.  

Cute and comfortable! Love the dark floral and how it hugged my curves 

Loved this dress for my cousins wedding in Montana- it was a bit big but I did wear my jacket for a majority of the night so it was no big deal.

Not only was this dress gorgeous on me. It also was super super comfortable 

Loved this pattern for a fall wedding. Great fit 

I expected to be a 4 but the 2 fit me better in the chest. Wore to a cocktail attire fall wedding and got many compliments! 

Curve hugging but comfy, lovely material, pattern even prettier in person! Would love to own some day. A bit low cut on larger chests. 

The dress fit perfectly.   I am normally between a 6 and an 8 (mainly because of the bust area) but this dress was cut full in the chest.  It was very comfortable to dance in.  My only complaint was that the straps were a little long but not a deal breaker.  Would rent again.

Fit perfectly, didn't need to wear a bra or even tape. Perfect for chesty women and hourglass shapes, but I imagine it would work on most body types. Got lots of compliments. Almost kept it!

Comfortable and classy dress. It was one of my top two dresses for a wedding but ended up wearing the other one.

The dress fit perfectly and was so comfortable, got so many compliments on the dress.  

Easy to wear (bra straps easily covered) & comfortable, but flattering. Great dress! Can be dressed up for formal events or wear with flip-flops on the boardwalk. 

Wore this to a wedding and loved it! So comfortable and also has snaps inside to keep bra straps from showing, which was super cool. I’m typically a 4/6 and was glad I sized down for my backup size. Ended up wearing the 2 and it fit like a glove!

Perfect dressed could've sized down 1 size. Normally a 12 got a 14 due to no 12 in stock. 14 fit good but could've been more form fitting if got 12. Got so many compliments.

This dress was pretty, the straps were super long though. I meant to tape them but forgot and ended up having to adjust them all night. I did like the structure of it though!

 I didn't love the cut of the top and the straps didn't feel flattering for my body type. The fabric was amazing and I loved the color/pattern but over all it just wasn't for me. A bit form fitting and very long.

I was hoping all the good reviews were right. I wanted a chic dress for a formal but rustic wedding. Print met that vibe. I ordered a 4 & a 6. I Wore the 4, but it was not as fitted as I read about or hoped. Many said corset, it was more like flexible boning. Many said they didn’t need a bra. I didn’t want to, but I had to & luckily it was one with lace on the top that looked like it was a part of the dress & the straps matched the dress straps. The middle was so much fabric that my waist was hard to see. I probably won’t be ordering again. Pros: it looks like the fabric would be hot but it wasn’t & we were outside in 91 degree weather. I could sit in it comfortably. Walking was easy in it. 

I got so many compliments in this dress, perfect for an end of summer/early fall wedding. The dress was sometimes falling in a way that the slip was longer than the floral overlay, but it was easy to shimmy it to lay correctly. Would definitely consider renting again!

The corset fit is amazing. Super comfortable and very stylish. 

I love this dress so much! I needed to size down to the 6, since the 8 left some gaps in the top. I had to give it 4 stars, since like others shared, the straps do slip, so I found myself dealing with that throughout the night.

I rented for a black tie wedding and still haven’t decided if I’ll wear this to the rehearsal dinner or the wedding. It’s flattering and cute but the fabric is not as formal as I was expecting so idk. 

Wore this to a spring/early summer wedding and got lots of compliments! As a 5’ 1” girlie, the length was perfect. I did have to fashion tape the straps to my bra strap so it didn’t fall, but other than that, it was fantastic!

Loved the way this dress fit! I had to pin the straps like a few others who left reviews, because they were too loose. I got lots of compliments on it. I can usually fit in a 10 or 12, and the 10 fit great.

this dress is beautiful. i sized down and that worked well for me. i got compliments all night, highly recommend

This dress was absolutely flattering and gorgeous, but as a short girl (5 ft tall), the length and the arm straps were far too long on me. Therefore, I wouldn't rent again as it was a lot of adjusting! 

I wore this to a black tie optional wedding in the spring and it worked perfectly. The fit is extremely flattering and it’s a comfortable dress to wear. Received compliments all night!

Such a great dress.  I wore it to a gala and got so many compliments!  The neckline and straps were so supportive in the bust, and the corset was super flattering.  I’m a little over a year postpartum, and it supported/flattered in all the right places! 

Perfect for a spring wedding, the dress is super comfortable and easy to wear. 

Sure! Here's a short and polished review you can use or adapt:
