Runs Very Large
Listen to the other reviews and size down 2 sizes. I only went down one size and had the V not been so deep in the front I may have been able to make it work. The dress itself is very nice, but I didn't expect the backing of the lace flowers would be white, which kind of stuck out where the fabric folded.

Just the Basics
It fit my phone, cards, and lipstick, but there wasn't room for much else.

Casual
It was a little too casual for my event, but the leather was soft and the bag was a good size for an evening.

Flattering dress
I sized up for this dress, but if you're busty you may need to go up 2 sizes. This dress is very flattering, especially if you're pear shaped like me and it will work well if you're on the taller side. I received several compliments throughout the evening. Thanks RTR for another win!

Too short
I wanted to love this dress, but it just didn't work for me. The fit and flare style typically works well for my body type, and while it fit just fine on top, the bottom was more of a full/pleated skirt. If you're like me, with a fuller bottom and hips, proceed with caution. The skirt flared out a good bit, especially in the back, where it was even shorter. I rented this for my company holiday party, so it was a little too short for my taste. Had the skirt been a few inches longer or more fitted, it may have worked. I also thought the pockets were oddly placed, more like a hoodie than what you'd typically find on a dress. The bow in the back will also need steamed or pressed as it arrived bunched up.

Cute and comfy!
I rented this for a night out with friends and it was so cute, comfortable, and flattering...I would definitely rent it again and I'm not usually a fan of how jumpsuits look on me! I wore it with black wedge sandals and only the thin strap since it was super hot that day.

Great Color
Being that this skirt has a bit of a bubble to it, I thought it would be relaxed enough to fit my pear-shaped self, but the bottom was a little snug. I received this a little too late to exchange it, so I made it work, but sitting had to be done very carefully. I also expected it to be a bit longer on me than it was. Overall it was a very pretty dress that I received many compliments on, but if you are bigger on the bottom than on the top, I'd recommend you choose a different dress.

Great LBD!
As others stated, I was able to size down for this dress with no problems. It was a great LBD for a charity event with my husband's office. With the lace detail and a statement necklace, I felt appropriately dressed and comfortable!

Beautiful!
I received this dress as a free backup since the one I originally chose was unavailable and loved the flower embroidery! Unfortunately, while it fit in the hips, it was too loose on top and wouldn't stay up. I received a 6, but I typically wear a 4 and am smaller on top than on bottom, so this dress may not work for you if you have a similar body type.

Great for a St. Patrick's Day wedding!
While I was able to zip the 4, I found the 6 gave me a little more room to move my arms and take a deep breath so I wore the backup size instead. The sparkle in the skirt was festive, but not tacky. I loved that I could wear a regular bra and the pockets are nice to have a place for your phone while on the dance floor. I did notice the skirt of the dress had lots of loose strings, but only when I looked down at the dress while wearing it, not when looking at it while on the hanger. I also had to steam the pleats to get the skirt to lay a little nicer and not be quite so full. I would rent this dress again, but who wants to repeat when there are so many great RTR options!

Perfect LBD!
I received so many compliments on this dress! I did have to size up, as other reviewers suggested, due to the lace sleeves. Because of the lace, the first dress I received had a pretty noticeable hole in the bicep area, but RTR's excellent customer service sent a new one with no problem. I also wore a strapless bra because the nude/gold lining goes straight across at the top, but still found the dress to be very comfortable.

Perfect for a Cold Weather Wedding
I initially ordered this dress in my size and one size up, but when I received them, they both had holes in the underarm area. Fortunately, the excellent RTR Customer Service was able to send me replacement sizes and even allowed me to change them to 1 and 2 sizes up and I ended up wearing the dress that was 2 sizes up. Even though it was a little loose in the waist, it was much more comfortable in the arms. It was great to dance in all night and I'd definitely rent it again!

Great for Speakeasy Party!
I rented this dress for a speakeasy themed work party, and while it was cute, it was a little shorter in the back than I prefer, so if you've got a booty, keep in mind that it'll be shorter in the back than in the front. My backup size was a size up, but it was too loose on the top and my bra would've shown. I thought it rubbed a bit under the arms also. Overall, this dress worked well for my event.

Cute Dress!
I rented this for a country club dinner with my husband's coworkers and it was the perfect mix of casual and dressy. I received several compliments! As other reviews mention, the bust is a little tight and you have to wear a strapless bra, which I had to push down in the back so it wouldn't show. Pushing down the bra and the tightness didn't make for the most flattering bust, but it worked. And the pockets are of course a perk!

Cute and Comfy!
I wore this to an outdoor wedding on a 90+ degree day and was totally comfortable. I loved the bow, pockets, and color! The downside is that I had to wear a strapless bra because my bra straps were just slightly off from the straps on the dress.

Lovely bridal shower dress!
I wore this dress for my bridal shower and received many compliments. I love that it has pockets as that's always a perk for me when dresses have them! The size 4 fit, but I thought the 6 gave a little more length, which is always a concern for me and also gave me a little more room to move since the 4 seemed to be tight across the shoulders when I lifted my arms.
