Dress is HUGE
This dress was so cute (especially the gold polka dots) and I was so excited to wear it, but when I put it on, the chest was HUGE! As someone who has a large chest, this was surprising and disappointing. I was not able to wear the dress since the chest was just too big. I would rent again in one or two sizes down, though I would fear that then the waist would be too small.

Pretty dress, just not for me...
This dress was pretty and the material was nice, but the color looked terrible on my skin (too close to my actual skin tone). Seems to run a bit small in the chest, but I have a large chest.

Gorgeous, but fit it a bit funny...
CONS- I am typically an 18W and a 42DDD, but the dress was tight in my chest area with straps that were too long. PROS- Gorgeous material! Beautiful dress! Made my waist look small (which is a difficult task). I did not wear the dress to anything, but I plan to rent it in one size up so I can wear it a wedding this summer. I will likely just use safety pins or fashion tape for the straps.

Bridal Shower Beauty---minus deodorant stains...
This dress was beautiful! The material is light and flowy, and the dress is TTS. The only downside was that when I got the dress, it appears the fabric has been discolored in the armpits from people's deodorant. It is almost a whiteish color. Yuck! I wore the dress and no one noticed the discoloration, but I still don't think that RTR should have this dress in circulation if it is discolored!!!

Beautiful color, but runs large!
This is a beautiful dress! The color is vibrant and the cut and flow of the top are stunning. I got tons of compliments while wearing the dress. The dress does run a little large and I ended up talking a little bit of the fabric underneath my bra to make it shorter and fit better with in the waist area. I would definitely wear this dress again, just in a smaller size!

Pretty dress!
I wore this dress to an awards ceremony and received lots of compliments. It is not wine colored as pictured in the photo, but it's more of a purple-y red. The dress is comfortable, but I felt like the nude liner showed a lot, so I wore Spanx. I am 5'5" tall and as you can see in the picture the longer side it hit my ankle, which is a little longer than I had anticipated but it didn't look bad, especially with heels.

I WANT TO OWN THIS DRESS!!!
This dress was perfect! It fit well, it was comfortable, and elicited tons of compliments! I am very self-conscious about my stomach, but the fabric and cut of the dress made me feel OK without Spanx underneath-which for a humid memorial day wedding was a true blessing! Don't think twice-rent this dress! I have done endless hours of Internet searching trying to figure out how I can on this stress because I love it so much!

Runs large!!! Beware!
I really wish this fit! When I put it on I love the idea of it, but I did not love how it looked. Unfortunately I didn't feel like I had enough time to find something else so I ended up wearing it for the event. Also, the sash that comes with the jumpsuit comes in a small bag that had fallen to the bottom of my garment bag so I did not know that it was there and did not wear it with the jumpsuit. The jumpsuit runs very large and gapes quite a bit in the chest (I pinned and used fashion tape And still felt like I needed to pull at it all night). The legs are very wide on the jumpsuit. As someone who is 5' 5" it was a little longer than I had imagined, but again I kind a liked it!

Wish they had my size!
I ordered this in a 16 and 20 because they didn't have my regular size (18). I wore the 20, but the 16 fit, it was just a little tight in waist. Not my favorite dress I have worn from RTR, but it worked for a bridal shower. The colors are bright and the floral pattern is pretty. Probably would not rent again because the dress was a little "old" for my taste.

Bridal Shower Winner!
Wore this to a bridal shower and got tons of compliments. I'm 5' 5" and the length was great. My normal size is between 18/20 and I went with the 18 because the 20 gapped in the chest a little bit (42DDD). Material is way nicer than it appears in the photos. My only regret is not taking a picture while wearing it!!!
