Fit but didn't flatter
This dress fit but was very unkind to my postpartum bod, something about the fabric and cut was especially unflattering. My measurements here were 45/37/47 for reference.

So unflattering...
I’m not sure who this is made for but it is a disaster for any curves. The back is open and flimsy so it makes the top look blocky. The skirt comes out from the hem and goes straight down making the bottom look wide and boxy as well. If you enjoy looking a square with flowers on it, this dress is for you!

Perfect for an hourglass figure
This dress fit like a glove. It runs a tiny bit small and has no stretch so I’d size up. I was grateful for the band at the waist so I could wear spanx shorts instead of the full body version. It’s quite off the shoulder and combined with the heavy fabric at the bottom and the color, it feels so dramatic.

Elegant, classy, but not fussy
A perfect black dress that can be dressed up or down. The slit is pretty high, but the cut is very forgiving so spanx weren’t a necessity. I was between a 6 and an 8 when I wore this and the 8 was roomy but not too big. (I think a 6 would have also fit well). I’m looking forward to renting this again!

Super dress!
Gorgeous deep teal color, perfect length with 4 inch heels, and incredibly fun cape. Definitely needs spanx, and there is some awkward padding in the bust area that was lumpy and too high.

Unique, curve-loving magic!
I adored this dress, I only wish I had ordered one size smaller instead of bigger after reading the reviews. I'm currently wearing a 6 or 8 and the 12R was almost too big. But it still looked gorgeous and didn't require any spanx, just needed to pull it up occasionally. It was hard to send it back!

Sweet spring dress
I was wearing this for a performance, we were going for a rom-com style dress with pockets and this was perfect. Beautiful color, great below-the-knee length, and lovely lace detail on collar. It was a little tight in the bust when wearing a bra, and scratched a bit under the arms but other than that it worked out beautifully. The skirt is not very full so if you'd like a more volume, I think it would look nice with a little tule underskirt. A very lovely sweet dress.

Best RTR yet!
This dress is a perfect upgraded LBD. The fabric is very thick and hides a multitude of sins, no spanx required (and I *always* wear spanx). The embroidery is lovely and has a bit of a sheen to it. I wore this to my anniversary dinner and after a couple of hours of sitting there were no creases or wrinkles in the thing. The front and back plunges just enough to be sexy but not enough to require going braless. This dress will make you feel comfortable and really elegant. Will rent again!

Gorgeous, glamorous, flattering! A great 1st RTR experience.
I opted for the 14 even though it is a bit small as described. It also the hem is shorter than it appears on the model (an inch above the knee or so). The nice thing about the thickness of the sequins is that it hides a multitude of sins and the natural waist really does accentuate an hourglass shape. It is very difficult to zip because of the materials, so grab a friend to help! Also, there is no stretch in the fabric which meant sitting caused the dress to ride up a bit (boo), but also I could wear it without a bra (yay!). Mostly, wearing a dress crafted and fitted this well made me feel incredible. I was sad to send it back!
