Can be styled for day or night, warm weather or cold. Great fit, comfortable.

The reviews are correct regarding- tight around hips, and thicker material. While the 2D photos are not flattering, I actually loved this dress. I love the asymmetrical flared out bottom and the thicker material was perfect considering I was wearing it in the winter. I would recommend body shapewear because every slight imperfections shows up despite the thicker material. If I were more in shape, this would have been perfect. The shape I'm in, it was slightly too small. Would recommend trying it out if you have good shapewear or are not afraid of body shape to come through! 

I loved this dress for my work gala event! It was a little snug when I first tried it on so I was worried it wouldn’t work, but it ended up fitting okay for the event. It was a little tight for my taste but overall great style.

The dress is darker than it looks in some of the pictures; it's more of a cranberry/purple. I got many compliments. The dress was tight but comfortable. I usually wear a 10 but needed a 12. My daughter wore a bright pink dress also from RTR. We love renting when we have so many weddings to attend! We can get a very nice dress for just $30-35 and it's fun to not be "stuck" with purchasing dresses from a store.

I had to size up but it was flattering style

This was one of the replacement dresses I got for my rental. It fit perfectly up top but was SO tight at the bottom to the point that even attempting to zip it up was out of the question. I'm 5'7" 183lbs but athletic and pear shaped. I did not wear the dress but would work for someone with smaller hips

Love the ruffle in the front it may be a little too revealing 
The color is a hit

I wore this to a holiday concert at the Kennedy Center. The color was fabulous and the material was just thick enough and stretched well for sitting but didn't wrinkle. The ruffle at the bottom gave it a special touch. Felt beautiful and comfortable all night!!

Runs small through the hips. I usually wear an 8. Based on prior reviews I got the 8 and the 10, and the 10 was perfect. The 8 squeezed and bunched on my hips.
Dress was super comfortable for dancing and walking. I received a ton of compliments. The color is vibrant. The ruffle is lots of fun and feels fancy without being over the top.  I included the pic from outside because it shows the purple. 

Fun and flirty! Comfortable dress and gorgeous color

This was a great dress! I attended an outdoor wedding in Florida and it was HOT. Thankfully, the material was thicker and did not show any sweat at all. I decided to go without a bra because it fit so well! Highly recommend! 

The material is very thick. I was dying of heat but loved the dress.

Unique dress. Beautiful color. I got lots of compliments. The dress fit great, except for being just a little snug across the hips. 

The ruffle details on the bottom make the dress a little more special. I don't have a butt or hips so there was definitely a little extra fabric around those areas but not uncomfortably so. The top was the perfect fit though so I definitely couldn't have gone any smaller. Didn't absolutely wow anyone in this dress but it was comfortable and I had fun dancing around in it! I am 5'6" 127 lbs and 34C.

Beautiful color and so comfortable I loved wearing it. I used it the next weekend after this wedding for a charity event in a different city. Just as great!

I am 5'2 and 145lbs. I wore this dress to a wedding in Solvang. I wore the 10R which was my alternate size because it is a snug fit if you've got curves. But, I had tons of compliments on the color and style. I loved the playfulness of the hemline. Great dress. 

The top of the dress was a bit tight in the torso but I had enough flexibility in the arms and legs that it worked out fine for dancing in! Super fun hem on the skirt.

I loved everything about this dress until I had to sit down! I was squished while sitting.. very uncomfortable. However the fabric didnt wrinkle on me so I looked great while standing. Lots of compliments. I got a size up (10) but it was way too loose.. wish there was a middle ground size.

Wore this for a country club wedding. Beautiful dress but runs very small as other reviewers mentioned. I normally wear a 2-4, but ordered a 4 and a 6, and wore the 6, which was still snug. Was able to wear a regular bra though which was a huge plus. 

I read the reviews and ordered a size up. I am usually a 10, I am 5'3 about 170 pounds. Hourglass. Danced all night, the dress is flirty and fun. The color is gorgeous. I'm glad I ordered size 12 and got a thin paid of Assets by Spanx, kept the dress smooth and prevented it riding up.  Overall, very happy that this was one of my replacement options, it worked out perfect!

Loved the vibrant color and gorgeous ruffle detail at the hem. It's form fitting if you have hips/curves, so I wore spanx. Got tons of compliments all day! 

Rented this for a daytime cocktail event. I loved the color and the ruffle detail. Usually, I wear a 0, but I ended up wearing the 2. The 0 was too tight across my lower half. I’m curviest across the hips/rear so it might not be a problem for others with different shape.

Can be a little tight if you are hippy but I got a size up and that worked. The bottom is super cute and great for a night of dancing 

Saw this dress on the app and was instantly in love.  Read various reviews that suggested going up a size; in dresses I can do size 6 so I ordered it in a six and it was perfect!  The color is so beautiful; wishing I owned it!!

Picked this up from the flagship store when the original dress I ordered didn't work. This was simple but classic and extremely comfortable. Fit well despite my large chest. Would rent again.

Fit was true to size; comfortable; ruffle along bottom is beautiful. Great dress! Recommend! 

I’m a curvy 5’6” and found this dress to be super flattering. My usual size 8 fit well in the bust but was a bit clingy across the hips and tummy so I opted for the 10 for the sleeker silhouette. The fabric is more burgundy than fuchsia and has a bit of give. I’m so glad RTR sends a back up size!

Listen to the reviews - it runs small! Just size up, and the dress is definitely worth it. I usually wear 2 or 4 in formal dress and ended up wearing an 8. I have a bit of love around the hips, but if not, I probably could have gotten away with a 6 (which was my backup size). Given its' simplicity, the beautiful bright plum color helped give it some personality & the flare at the bottom was perfect on the dance floor!

I wore this at 3 months postpartum and it was my first time dressing up since pregnancy and I was super not confident. This dress & spanx gave me all the confidence. I got several compliments and had fun dancing in it as well. Definitely recommend!!

This dress was perfect for a fall family wedding. It is classy but still flirty with the ruffled skirt. The color popped in a room full of dark blue and black dresses. I paired it with a bib necklace and silver heals to make it more formal, but it could easily be dressed down for a less formal event. I usually wear a size 6 but based on other reviews, I chose to size up for my back up size. I could have worn the 6, but the 8 looked much better. I recommend sizing up for this dress. I also recommend some shape wear to smooth everything out.

After reading reviews, I order my normal size and up one.  I ended up wearing the one up (14R).  I am 5'8" and weigh 185, wear a 12 typically.  The color was just beautiful and made me feel much tanner than I am.  The structure held things in without feeling restrictive.  I loved the fun cut of the hemline, super for dancing!  I might rent again for another wedding in a few months; that's how much I love it.   Oh and I got loads of compliments; both about the dress and about how great I'm looking.  

Dress fit was true to size.  I wear a 12 and it fit perfectly.  I felt beautiful all while being comfortable.  

Great dress in a cranberry color, runs pretty small, I am typically a solid 12 (sometimes 14) and I had to wear the 16R to accommodate my bust.  Lots of compliments, fun to dance in.

Rented this dress for an October wedding. The color was perfect - a little more purple than pink. All of the reviews are dead on - this dress runs small. I'm normally a 10/12 in pants, a 12 in dresses, but had to wear the 14. The 12 fit but was VERY slim in the hips - and I don't even have wide hips in the slightest. Fabric is heavy so wouldn't recommend for a summer wedding. But it moved so great while dancing! Would absolutely recommend and would also rent it again!

I rented this dress for a rehearsal dinner for a wedding I was in and I really loved it.  Both sizes fit and I was able to choose the one that gave me a bit more room to have a more comfortable evening.  I received lots of compliments on the color and style. 
Unfortunately, I had delivery issues receiving this dress due to a third party courier, and almost did not receive my dress in time.  Although, it was a stressful process, thanks to RTR customer service agent, Tiffany Simmons' follow-up, persistence, and kindness, I received my dress just in the nick of time.  Special thanks to Tiffany for calming me down in a frustrating circumstance and coming through to make my weekend a success!

Size up! Not much give but great for dancing. Great plum color for fall!

Wore this to an outdoor wedding and received SO many compliments. The color is beautiful. The fit was very flattering, hugged all of the right places. I am a 36 DD and was able to wear without a bra, which never happens. Absolutely loved this dress.
