Beautiful dress
This dress was beautiful and I got lots of compliments. I had a hard time with the sizing because of the UK vs US sizing and the reviews saying that it ran small. Based on other reviews I initially got a 12R and 14R which were way to big. Thankfully, RTR is amazing and I got the smaller size (my usual) in plenty of time to wear to my event. It was very long and I definitely had to wear heels and be careful walking and dancing, but it was beautiful and comfortable and I got a lot of compliments.

Elegant and comfortable at 30 weeks pregnant!
I rented this dress to wear to a wedding at 30 weeks pregnant. It was so comfortable and beautiful and I got TONS of compliments. My pre-pregnancy size was 8, and I wore a size 10 dress in a different style to the rehearsal the night before, but I chose the 12 for this dress because I didn't want the top to be too tight and strapless (back fat!). The dress is really well constructed and held itself up all night. I felt very secure and comfortable and beautiful all night long. My only warning is that with the pleats in the front, you might look pregnant even if you aren't? I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dress. It was so fun and gorgeous.

Pretty but not what I expected.
I don't know why, but I thought that these earrings were clear crystal and they are not. They have a gray stone in them. I ended up not wearing them because they didn't really go with the dress I was planning to wear them with. Other than that, they were very pretty and I would get them again if they matched.

Beautiful and elegant at 30 weeks pregnant!
I rented this dress for a formal rehearsal dinner that I attended at 30 weeks pregnant and it was perfect! I am usually a size 8 (pre-pregnancy) and the 10 worked great with my belly. I am 5'7" tall and did need to wear a small heel (~2 inches) so that the regular length didn't drag on the floor or trip me up. The fabric is light and flowy and totally beautiful and comfortable too. I would highly recommend this dress pregnant or not!

Beautiful details
I rented this to go with a long, solid color gown that I wore to a friends wedding. The bracelet is beautiful, sparkly, and has an amazing pattern detail. I got tons of compliments and would highly recommend this piece to add some pretty bling to your ensemble.

Amazing color!
I loved this dress. The color was a real showstopper without being over the top. I rented for a formal wedding and it was just the right mix of fun and formal. I wore the smaller size and would definitely say this dress runs large. I was able to wear a strapless bra without it being visible and would was very thankful because the fabric was not very thick and it was pretty scandalous when I first put the dress on without one! I would absolutely rent this dress again and would highly recommend some sparkly jewelry to go with it.

So glittery!
I got a lot of compliments on this dress! I rented it for my bachelorette party and it was lots of fun to dance in. I ended up going down a size so that it was snug in the torso. On my 5'6" frame I found that the tightest part of the dress hit a little higher than my natural waist which wasn't as flattering as it could be. I also found that the sequins did scratch my under arms a bit. I would recommend this dress for the fun color and pattern, but wouldn't want to wear it all day long with the scratchy sequins.

Lovely engagement photos!
I rented this dress for my September engagement photos. The color was much more blue than it looks on the model, but it was beautiful. There was kind of a gap between my shoulder and the sleeve that I didn't love. Also, I felt like the dress didn't lay flat to my stomach. The pictures came out great and I was really happy with the dress overall.

Pretty and unique pattern!
This dress was perfect for a September wedding at a winery. It runs a little big so I was thankful to have the size down as my backup (which I ended up wearing). The top is nicely fitted to the natural waist and the skirt had some nice movement to it. It was fun to dance in and I was very comfortable all evening! The length was perfect on me with a small (~2") heel. I felt like the print was a little more orange than it looks on the model, but very pretty. I got tons of compliments on this one and I would definitely recommend it for a semi-formal event.

Big sparkle!
These bangles were a great addition to the maxi dress I wore to my friends wedding at a winery. There were a lot more of them than I expected, and I only ended up wearing 5 of the 7 that came. They were totally fun and really beautiful and I would definitely recommend them.

Sparkly and so fun!
I rented these to go with a navy blue dress I wore to a wedding. My fiance was in the wedding wearing a gold bow tie, and I wanted some gold sparkle to match him. These earrings were really comfortable to wear all day, and I loved the shape and length. I would highly recommend!

Fun print and a beautiful shape!
This dress was lovely and really flattering. I thought the print was subtle enough to be classic but still a whole lot of fun and I got lot's of compliments. I rented this for a July wedding and I was cool and comfortable the whole time. The fit was also really comfortable through the bodice and bust, (which can be an issue for me) but still defined my waist. I would definitely recommend this dress for a wedding or formal event.

Very pretty skirt!
This dress was comfortable and the skirt was beautiful and of course pockets are always a plus! I felt like the fabric of the top was not as dressy as the skirt, but with it being black you could easily dress it up with a necklace or snazzy earrings. My only issue was that the arm holes were too big, and that created a gap between the front of my shoulder and the dress that was a little awkward. I felt like I had to wear my hair down to cover it up. Other than that, it was lovely. Would definitely work for women with large busts.

Sparkly and Very Flattering!
I rented this for a dressy New Years Eve party. I was a little nervous because the size up wasn't available and right after Christmas is a dangerous time to be gambling with sizes, but when the dress arrived the 8 fit perfectly! The pattern and sequins were very flattering and I loved that I sparkled without being to super glittery. Sometimes a "shift" dress isn't the best silhouette on me since I do have a curvy shape, but this one was great and I got lots of compliments. Unlike some of the reviews here, I didn't think that the sequins were itchy or scratchy at all and I wore my hair down without any problems. The skirt was a little short, but nothing scandalous. I highly recommend this dress to anyone who wants something unique and fun!

Great color, pockets, and an amazing skirt!
This dress was really beautiful and very comfortable. I got so many compliments and it was perfect for the June wedding I attended. Contrary to some of the other reviews, I didn't find the lace to be itchy at all and the skirt, while full, wasn't super puffy. The bodice of the 8 (my usual size) fit really nicely up top, but I went up a size because I thought the waist in the 8 was a little tight and wasn't flattering where the back was cut out. I would recommend going up a size for your backup if you are self conscious about this like I am. The 10 worked out great and I felt fabulous in it! I didn't wear a bra (you really can't with the back the way it is), but still felt comfortable and supported by the molded cups while dancing up a storm. I would definitely recommend this dress to for any body type!

Gorgeous color, beautiful fit!
So hard to send this one back! This dress was absolutely beautiful and perfect for the spring wedding I attended. The shape and movement of the dress were incredibly flattering and it was so much fun to dance in. The color was rich and vibrant and I got so many compliments on it. I would say that it was tight around the ribs, so if you have a wider ribcage you might want to go a size larger. Other than that it fit perfectly. I wore 3" heals and the length was perfect. Highly recommend with the Ashley necklace to give it some sparkle!

This necklace was perfect with the dress I rented. It added just the right amount of sparkle without being to much and was adjustable enough that it fell at exactly the right length for the neck line. Highly recommend!

Fun LBD with a sparkly twist and a great pop of color!
This dress was a lot of fun! The sparkle was great and the I LOVED the green on the black dress. The fabric pulled a little around the green panels, which I didn't love, but it was very flattering anyway and I got a lot of compliments! It was comfortable to dance and move in all night and I really had a great time in the dress. I would definitely recommend a size up for backup.

A beautiful fit and an awesome color!
I absolutely loved this dress! The color is really vibrant, the fit was flattering, the full skirt was so much fun, and it was perfect for the August wedding I attended. The fabric was beautifully rich, but that also meant it was really warm. With the tulle underneath the skirt I was pretty hot during the outdoor summer ceremony. The neckline is definitely plunging! I was able to wear a regular bra and I decided that I was alright with a lot of cleavage, but I would recommend a size up or choosing another style if you felt like you needed to be more conservative. I would definitely recommend this dress and hope to rent it again!

Really cute for a summer evening wedding and it has pockets!!
I rented this dress for a summer evening wedding and it was perfect! The fabric and cut were really beautiful and worked well for my shape. I ended up wearing the 10 because the 8 wasn't available at the last minute and it worked, but was a little big in places. I think the 8 would have been perfect. The shape was classic and would look great on any body type. I would definitely recommend renting a sparkly piece of bling to dress it up for the evening. I went with the Star Light Star Bright Necklace from Nicole Miller and it was perfect! I hope to rent this one again soon.

Beautiful sparkly piece for an evening wedding!
I loved this piece! It was just the right amount of sparkle to light up my outfit and I got lots of compliments. The necklace wasn't very long so I would recommend pairing it with a scoop or square neckline. Overall a really beautiful piece that I wish I could have kept!

This dress is really stunning!
This dress came as a backup and it was beautiful! I didn't end up wearing it because it didn't match the necklace I had rented and was a little too dressy for the afternoon wedding I was attending. This dress definitely accentuated my cleavage, and I could not have worn a regular bra with it. I would recommend fashion tape or something similar to avoid any risk of popping out of it! The fabric was rich and beautiful and the full skirt made my waist look tiny. I would definitely recommend this for hourglass and pear shapes. Overall I thought the dress was gorgeous and I am hoping to rent it again soon!
