Amazing, classic dress
I rented this to officiate a friend's wedding - needed something classic and conservative from the front, but interesting and young enough in the back. The scoop back was gorgeous and this fit like a glove. I have a small waist and a true "hourglass" shape, and this was one of the few dresses I've rented that wasn't far too large in the waist. I'm between a 2-4 in dresses, and definitely couldn't have gone smaller than the 4, so girls with a wider waistline may want to consider sizing up. The 4L was perfect to a little long with 2.5" heels (I'm 5'6")

A little small
I really wanted to like this top, but ultimately the fit just wasn't right for me. I have a fairly classic hourglass shape with a small waist, and this top made my shoulders look too broad. The back is really cute, and I think it might look better on ladies with smaller shoulders.

Comfy & cute - but a little short
Rented this for work at a fairly conservative office. I'm 5'5" and found this almost too short for work - had to pair it with opaque tights and flat boots, and even then, I would probably only wear it on "casual Friday." Zipper means you can adjust the neckline to be as high or low as you want! I also think it runs large - I am a 4-6 usually, and the 4 was a bit too big in the waist and chest but fit well in the hips. I am hourglass to pear shaped, so I think this would be a great dress for ladies with broader shoulders or more of an apple shape. Probably wouldn't recommend this for work, but it's a cute dress otherwise!

Classy work top
Great shirt for ladies with a small waist!! I have a hard time finding clothes that are fitted enough at my natural waist - this was super flattering, and the peplum skimmed over my larger hips nicely. Great for work but I think this could also be cute with casual clothes. I think it runs a little large - I'm a 4-6, and the size 4 had plenty of give.

Fun & different!
Loved this so much I would consider buying it. As other ladies have mentioned, it runs short in the torso, so longer-waisted girls might want to consider a size up. Has a little bit of stretch to it, but fits really well. Casual enough for jeans and dressy enough for work.

Holiday Party
Rented for my boyfriend's holiday party. I'm usually a size 4 and sometimes a 2 with RTR, but the 4 in this was tight in the shoulders and the hips. Unfortunately they didn't have a 6 available so I made it work. It's a very cute dress and not terribly uncomfortable, and I think it can be easily dressed up or down. It fit in at a party that had everything from jeans to cocktail dresses and was a nice middle ground.

San Diego wedding dress
The best part of this dress is that it is SO versatile! I wore it to a wedding where the dress code wasn't very clear, and it worked perfectly. The fabric definitely has a shimmer to it, so it could easily be dressed up to "cocktail" level with sparkly jewelry, but it also fit in perfectly at the more casual evening oceanside wedding I attended. My normal size 4 was unavailable, so I rented a 2 and a 6 - the 2 fit, but just barely! I am an hourglass shape, heavier on the bottom with a very small waist, so I loved that this dress hugged my top and waist and flared out to hide my lower half. The arm holes were a little small and the top was a tiny bit tight, but I was still able to dance and move comfortably. If you're bigger on top or straight up and down, I would probably recommend sizing up for your backup. I loved this and would definitely rent it again!

Great Derby dress!
Super fun, comfortable dress for the Kentucky Derby! I am an hourglass shape with slightly bigger hips, and usually a size 4-6 in dresses. The 2 in this dress fit really well and showed off my waist (finally a dress that fits right!) but I have a very small waist for my size, so you might want to size up or down depending on your shape. Despite other reviews, I ended up preferring a strapless bra - even with the straps on my bra attached to the dress, they showed a little. This was so comfortable and the pockets are a plus, as always! The color was great with a little bit of a tan and really popped. Will rent again!
