I'm 5'3" with an athletic build. I rented a size 10 and 12 after reading reviews. The reviews were right. The dress does feel snug across the back. The 12 was more comfortable than the 10 and loose around the midsection. I wore a regular bra under the slip and it didn't show. The dress didn't get staticy either even though it was the perfect night for static. I'd rent it again! And for $35, it's a great deal!

After having three kids, my rib cage hasn't gone back to what was my normal... the 8 zipped up but wouldn't close at the top. The 10 zipped, closed, and wasn't tight.

These earrings were great! They weren't heavy; were just long enough; and exposed the rough side of the white stone when worn-a neat feature.

I wore this dress to a casual military evening affair. It was dressy enough but not over the top dressy. I have a long torso but found that the straps were loose enough to slide off of my shoulders. I discovered this early enough and used the double sided tape sent along by RTR to hold them place. Thanks RTR! The 6 fit well but drooped just a tad too much across the chest-exposing more than I wanted at this sort of affair; thankfully my pashmina kept me warm and covered the low chest material. Additionally, I had to buy sticky silicone breast cups to wear with this dress-that's another $30, I wasn't expecting to spend. It was comfortable, sturdy, and lined which was good for a winter event in CO! Overall, it was a fun cute dress with pockets (loved them)!

The earrings appear normal size in the picture but are actually pretty heavy. They were clean and in good condition when I wore them which is always a plus. I wouldn't rent them again since I like smaller petite size earrings that appear large but aren't heavy.

The bracelets were larger than I expected. I wound up taking them off since I'm not used to wearing bangles that were this large. Although pretty, I wouldn't wear them again.

The dress fit perfectly. I typically wear a 6/8 but chose a 4/6 size based on reviews. I wound up wearing the size 6 without any issue. The event was terrific and so was the dress!

The dress is gorgeous, in the picture. It was gorgeous after I got it ready to wear and on. It looked terrible after a 25 minute car ride to the event. I felt like I was wearing a crumpled napkin! The dress cinched up with static cling (it was 13 degrees outside the night of our event) and it wrinkled terribly. I was so sad and disappointed to wear such an exquisite dress to a formal affair and appear as though I didn't put any thought into its preparation. I would not recommend this dress if you have travel to your event.
