I loved the jewel tone blue color of this dress and the skirt was swishy and flowing and made me feel like a princess. :) I definitely stood out in a sea of black dresses at this event. It was a little too long even with 3" heels so I had to hold it up as I walked, and it does run small, but the backup larger size I got worked fine.

I rented this dress fairly last minute, and when I opened it, I was underwhelmed, but the options had been quite limited, so my feeling was, "well I paid for this so I will wear it." However, it turned out to be a great choice. The fit was very good; my only comment was that it was a little loose around the edges of the bust area. It's quite flattering and fits just closely enough without being tight. The lace in the middle gives it that little "something." Super comfortable fabric and the length was perfect for me at 5'3". I would definitely wear this dress again as it was basic and flattering, but had just enough interest to get attention and compliments.

I was excited about this dress, as it was a vibrant holiday color and I thought would be perfect for my event. However, it just didn't work at all. The dress was too small to even zip up and the bodice also seemed lopsided; it was very strange. I also didn't care for the feel of the fabric; it felt very coarse and heavy. That being said, if the fit had worked, I would have worn it. Unfortunately, the backup larger size of this dress was not available, which I learned about a few days prior to the event . I will say that customer service was very good about contacting me and offering some flexible alternatives so that I would be sure to have a dress that worked. In the end I asked them to send me as a backup, a dress I had rented previously and knew I liked. So we had a lovely evening and I was happy with the dress I wore but sorry this lovely red one didn't work.

I normally wear a 12 and rented a 12R so this worked great for me. It was almost a hair too long but not so much that the Short size would have worked better. I had on 3 inch heels and am 5'2". It has a tiny bit of stretch to the fabric so it was really flattering. I will say that the back part was supposed to be tacked up so that it made a loop of fabric, and one side was detached - but that was not a great issue. All in all a great choice; it's very attention getting with the sequins. It's definitely a rose gold so silver toned accessories don't work. My shoes actually were a hair on the silver side but they didn't really show enough to matter. I rented earrings from RTR as well since I didn't have any accessories the right color/tone.
