Perfectly Purple

Worn for a destination wedding and it was a hit! I rented both size 2 and 4 and actually ended up wearing the size 2 without a bra but both fit well! I'm 5'9 and wore 1/2 inch heels and still had lots of dress left on the length

Pastel floral maxi

I got my usual size, the fit was a bit odd- the chest area was tight and the hip area was loose, but overall I liked the maxi. It has beautiful ruffle details on sleeve and throughout. I wore a bralette as it is quite a bit low cut v-neck.

Overall great dress, but front tassels were annoying

I wore this dress to a summer wedding at a winery and it was great. I loved the fit on my waist and chest. It was very flattering for someone with a larger chest (34 DD). The only problem was the front two pieces of fabric hanging from the neckline. They are bulky and I thought took away from the overall shape and pattern of the dress. I ended up rolling them up and tucking them in. It was not noticeable and totally worked.

A major thunderstorm that flooded the venue but always to be expected in the summer in New England.

This dress is perfect for a summer evening wedding. It’s comfortable and light and flattering in all the right places. It is long however; I am 5’10” and I wore a small heel and the dress still hit the floor. I also found the chest area to be tight (I am a 36C) but overall I would recommend this for any occasion. It’s a fun, feminine and flirty dress.

Beautiful cabin wedding!

I'm so glad I rented this dress! Kind of a random choice for me but I was attracted to the color. I'm usually a 6 but rented a 4 (all that was available on Unlimited) which I wore comfortably, so I would say this dress runs slightly large. It's beautifully made and was very comfortable for my friends' outdoor cabin wedding in late July. The neckline, ruffles and flow of the skirt made it stand out, and I felt very special wearing it. I'd highly recommend this unique dress!

Gorgeous dress, amazing fit, flowy and light

I wore this dress to work and received tons of compliments. The fit is a tad on the larger side but relatively TTS. I sized down and it was not tight in any area. I'm 5'7" and was able to wear this with flats without the back dragging. No pockets, that was the only bummer!

Plenty of room in the chest

This dress fit like it was made for me. I debated buying it. I am a large 36ddd and it fit wonderful. Was easy to wear a low cut bra as well. Women stopped me all night to compliment me on it. If you are not large chested I might skip it as I don't know what you would do with the extra room up top.

Perfect Spring/Summer Wedding Guest Dress

Overall, the dress fits true to size (perhaps a tad bit large). I usually wear a 4 or 6, but went with the 4 because it fit better around the empire waist. I wore the dress to a June, Virginia wedding with 80+ degree temps. It was a lot of dress to wear during the day time, but perfect once the sun went down into the high 60s. The dress is a beautiful color with great coverage on the arms and bust. I'm 5'9" and wore a 4-inch block heel, but truly only need 2 inches to get the dress off the ground. It's a perfect wedding guest dress and would highly recommend!

Gorgeous in every way!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The ruffles add a flirty edge and the bottom is so flowy, you will want to just twirl for hours in it! The fit is a bit big (I rented a 0R and it was not fitted around my rib cage or waist) but it's barely noticeable! A MUST for a summer wedding, trip to the vineyards, etc!

My go-to dress (& designer) for wedding season.

Viva Aviva does it again. I religiously rented from this designer last summer for wedding season and I am happy to share that I will doing the same thing this year. If you're the kinda gal that doesn't want to wear the same old boring cocktail dress all season long, this is the dress (and the designer) for you. Lovely patterns, comfy/light fabrics, and ruffled in alllll the right places. And it doesn't hurt I get tons of compliments when I wear it. As far as sizing, I sized down because it was flowy and I have a small chest but usually I order true to size. No wedding plans? No worries. I wore this with black booties and a leather jacket to work too.

Feminine and Flowing

Loved the flow of this dress. The fabric was soft and lightweight. For me the rib cage of this dress was a little tight based on the empire waistline.

A lot going on

Not sure I'll wear this one. It's very busy - the pattern, the ruffles, the tie in front...think it's too much for my 5'4 frame. The sizing is very true to size though. Plenty of room in the bust too.

Beautiful fit and super comfortable

Rented the 2 and the 4, and wore the 2, which was more flattering on top. Im usually a S/4 in tops, and curvy at the hips. This dress was a standout and perfect for a black tie optional summer wedding. Neckline was flattering without being overly revealing. A little snug on a 34C chest, but fit perfectly through the waist. Fabric has no stretch but was relatively forgiving, especially on the skirt. Wish it had a skit because it was a little warm/ hard to dance in. Great rental!

Love this dress! So many nice details!

Fits tightly around the waist and butt and then flows through the hips to ankles - I loved this fit, it was very attractive! Not too long for me at 5'2" (a nice surprise), it hit just above my ankles. Love the ruffles at the shoulder, the fabric, and the pattern.

The dress was fun and flowy for an outdoor wedding in upstate New York!

It runs large in length. I would normally be a 4 but i went with a 2 based on reviews. The 2 was still long even with fairly high heels. I just lifted it as i walked around so as not to trip over it. Also the neckline is quite low. Alll in all, i loved wearing the dress though! It gave me the coverage i wanted (loved the sheer-ish sleeves) but wasn't too warm for a summer wedding.

This dress was equally comfortable and beautiful.

I wore this dress as a bridesmaid at my friends bridal shower. I received a ton of compliments in this dress, to which most people were shocked to find out it was rented from RTR! This dress is a light material, yet not see-through, and is perfect for a day party or a vacation night out. The best part --- you can wear a regular bra with it without it peeking out! I would rent this dress again.

Flowy Flower Boho Chic

I loved wearing this pretty floral print maxi to my friend's baby shower. I was 5 weeks postpartum, and the high empire waist was very forgiving over where my post-baby weight is. It's somewhat long for shorter gals (I'm 5'4), and it skimmed the ground for me sans heels.

Fun, flirty and COMFY - great spring wedding pic

I thought this dress was super fun and comfortable - modest neckline which is nice because at 20 weeks pregnant my girls are having a hard time fitting into ANYTHING. I sized up (I could do anything 0-4 before pregnancy and am wearing mostly 4-6 now) because that's all they had a the RTR store and though it was loose it didn't look too big and left plenty of room for my small bump. I thought the ruffles added some fun flair without adding any weight to the dress.

Gorgeous, gorgeous dress - but far too long

Far too long, even with 4.5" heels -- wish this came in a petite size. The size 10 was a little roomy, would be curious about the size 8.
