I love this piece from Self-portrait. It's a great fit for petites. I usually wear size 0, but decided to size up for this one. I would recommend doing so for its narrow waist.

Perfect dress for summer evening soirée. Great color and length for fun formal event. 

Loved the silhouette, the color, and the lace! The fit was just right for me. Wore it to a wedding and received many compliments.

This dress is so flattering on! It does run small. I’m usually a size 2 or 4, but thankfully read the reviews and got the backup size 6 which fit perfect! Everyone loved this dress and I will rent again if it’s available! 

Snatches your waist. No stretch so size up if you are between sizes. 

This lavender lace dress is it! 
I wore this to a work function and everyone i spoke to commented how much they loved it. 
The size 6 fit like a glove. Do know: you will not be able to zip yourself in or out of this dress alone. The zipper in the middle of the back crosses the waistline seam which makes it challenging (despite size). Once zipped, the dress is in place.  A nude bra allowed me to keep everything in place while blending in with the lining. Trying to get out of the dress will result in a dislocated shoulder if done alone. The zipper is tight and independently you can only get it to a certain point mid-back. Help is required.
The fabric on the ruffle sat nicely but was noticeable. The skirt was a-line but not obnoxiously poofy.

A little tight in the bust but overall very flattering!

Beautifully made!! Very high quality.
I really loved wearing this dress. 
Usually I wear a size 2, but I sized up to the 4.
My bust is a 32D and the 4 was just a bit snug in the chest but fit perfectly everywhere else.
I received compliments all day long.

Wore this dress to a summer wedding in Virginia.  It was perfect and I got a lot of compliments. It’s on the shorter side, especially if you’re tall or are wearing heels. 

You have to be thoughtful with undergarments (needs a strapless bra) but this is a well proportioned party dress. 

Wore to a weekday afternoon wedding and absolutely loved it! Got tons of compliments on this one! It’s more lavender than it looks in these photos (it looks lighter here than it actually is - it’s fine for wedding!). It was super comfortable and because of the attached slip, I could wear a regular bra which is always a huge win!

Fit very well and made me feel confident throughout the night :)

This dress is perfect! It is short for a 5’5 girl so no bending over but does a great job at hiding bellies! Lots of compliments!

Love this dress! Way more than I thought I would! Wore to wedding. It was perfect for outdoor/indoor setting. It def. runs small especially in the chest area. 4 was very hard to zip. Ended up wearing the 6 and it fit very comfortably!! I received a ton of compliments!

I read the reviews like crazy before purchasing. I wear a size 6 jeans and the size 8 dress fit perfectly..I'm 5'1 and about 135-140, 34C/32D. As other reviews have mentioned it is tight on the waste with zero stretch. I am so glad RTR sends a backup size, the larger size (size 8) ended up fitting perfect! I wore this for a 10 year anniversary/vow renewal with my spouse. The dress was absolutely beautiful and fulfilled my purple obsession! 

Run a bit tight on the top. If you have larger breast size up. 

It’s actually a little hard to explain why this dress is so successful, but it really is! When I tried it on at home I was a little underwhelmed. (How is this dress rated so high?) But once I pulled it all together with shoes, makeup and got to the event l, the compliments wouldn’t stop rolling in. On my way out of the event people were still stopping me to tell me how great of a dress it was. It’s a showstopper!

I had zero issues with the fit. I am a curvy size 10 and wore a 10 comfortably. I ordered the 12 in case and was swimming in it. Great dress, fun night!

I got SO many compliments on this dress it was a perfect dress for a spring wedding and never felt itchy or uncomfortable. Nude shoes will go best with this just because of the underlay it has. Also, I have wider shoulders and was worried it would be too tight in the back but the fit was spot on. I also don’t have a large bust either though. 

I rented this dress for a Kentucky Derby-themed fundraiser that I chair. I am usually between a 4 and 6 and I definitely had to go with the 6 due to fit and length.  The structured lace made both sizes feel a little snug at first, but the 6 was completely comfortable all evening.  It was a popular dress at the gala and I felt professional, but fun at the same time!  The A-line shape is very flattering and the shorter length worked for me too as I'm only 5'3". I would buy this dress!  

I received tons of compliments on how beautiful of a dress! I loved the lavender color, not the best cut if you have wider hips and as in other reviews- size up as the bust area is not forgiving. 

The waist is true to size. I’m a size 6, 27-28 inch waist normally and this had zero give on my ribcage. I’m small chested and not sure how it would work for you if bigger than a C cup. Two things to note: 1) hard to raise your arms in 2) runs short so you don’t need to be raising your arms anyway. Wore to a bridemaids luncheon and would be great for similar events. Showers, luncheons, where you are sitting and standing but not dancing. Styled with raffia purse and raffia detail wedges 

i got my usual size, but ended up wearing a size bigger because it was too tight.

The fit was perfect - on the tighter side for the top area. 

It was heavier material than I expected but in a good way. It was a little short in the back, so I had to be mindful but otherwise I loved it. Got so many compliments on it! 

I loved this dress and wished I had somewhere to wear it! I got it to attend a baptism followed by a wedding and it was just way too sexy for those occasions. This would be perfect for a fancy night out with friends or a date night!

This dress is absolutely adorable. The waist is a bit small but I was still able to squeeze into an 8. Hugs in all the perfect places. I received multiple compliments. 

I wore this for a work/party event and it was perfect. Received lots of compliments. I would rent it again without hesitation! It does run small so for those with a bust, size up! I'm a consistent size 4 and had to go to a 6 on this one.

Such a beautiful dress, perfect for summer weddings! We were outdoor for a few hours and it wasn’t too stuffy or heavy at all. I’m usually a 2-4, I could squeeze into the 4 but a 6 fit way more comfortably. Might have to rent again! 

Gorgeous dress on and off! Perfect for the garden wedding I attended. Got multiple compliments.

I am usually a size 2 or a 4. This is a size 8 and it was still a struggle to zip. The fabric has NO STRETCH so size up a couple sizes! Very pretty otherwise just not super comfy 

Glad I listened to other reviewers and ordered a size up for my backup, bc that's the size I wore. There is no stretch in this dress. 

Overall the dress was great for attending a wedding! Not the most comfortable because the fabric does not stretch at all. Seemed true to size but a little short. The zipper was hard to function. Overall I was happy with the rental though. 

I am a standard size 6. The zipper is impossible so plan on having help, it does not slide up and down very smoothly. Very unique style and got alot of looks. Felt very pretty. Not sure how would work on a long torso. Best for C cup or smaller, I was a little squished in the best. Glad I got the backup size one larger, it's the one I wore. 

Unfortunately had to send it right back because once I was zipped in I could barely breathe or move my arms. Sizing up would fix the breathing part but not sure about the tight shoulder area. So pretty & classy though!

Perfect wedding, derby, spring dress. The peplum was cute but also added weight around the middle section. Looked great standing up but every sitting pic I hated. 

Fabric is very rigid around the rib cage but this dress is incredible! Wore it to an engagement party and it was perfect. 

I found it small at the chest are so I went sans bra! I liked the dress. Not dying to wear again. It was not mini at all for my 5'3 frame. Not much to add other than it's well made, great lace details 

Definitely size up. I usually wear an eight. Size 10 was a little snug, but the 12 fit comfortably. Caution to my tall ladies, this dress can be a little short. I am only 5’6” and I had to be mindful of bending over.

Like the other reviews said this has no stretch so it was hard to size. I sized up based on reviews and I had a 12 and 10 and both were too big. I wonder if the 8 would have fit me or been too tight. It was beautiful and I got compliments including that it was “giving Bridgerton vibes”. The color was a pale lavender and beautiful. 

Beautifully constructed lace dress with nude lining. Definitely on the small side, was hard to zip up and my chest was a bit compressed by the fabric. 

I wore this to a confirmation. It doesn’t stretch and was hard to zip and a bit itchy but it was worth it. 

I didn’t realize I gained as much weight as I did. I should have ordered a size 2 and 4. Size 0 was a no go so I wore a size 2 and it was slightly tight, but manageable until it was time to take it off at the end of a very VERY long day. I had noticed it was digging around my waist., but it was so dang pretty! I would rent it again in a bigger size. It was a vey color and I truly felt pretty in it. If you are taller than 5’2” it may be too short because it was boarder line short on my 5’0” body.  

Perfect dress for my friends baby shower! The color is so pretty and the dress fit me just right! For transparency, I’m 5’8” and 135 lbs with a slightly small chest. I probably could have gotten away wearing a 4 but the 6 worked just fine. 10/10 would recommend!
