Excellent quality, but size issues
I rented this for my sister who is usually a size 12 or 14. But based on other dresses we got from RTR, we ordered her a 16 with a larger back yo size. I never got to see the dress, because she wouldn't take her coat off at the event. She said the quality was excellent however the 16 was too tight throughout the body and she felt self conscious. She said the size larger was WAY to larger as if it was three sizes bigger with way too much room in the hips and bust. I just realized that I had ordered her an 18W, not 18 as a backup.

Very comfortable and flattering!
Excellent fabric and fit. However the zipper was a little long and did bunch up a bit on my mid back. However I loved wearing this dress! The fabric was weighty and nicely lined but still very stretchy. The rouching and side detail was very flattering. This was the lowest neckline I've ever worn, but I still felt covered. It didn't gap or twist or cause any problems while wearing it. I'm 5'3", so the length was perfect on me.

Love love love these earrings!
Classy, fun and sophisticated… These earrings are lightweight and gorgeous. I got lots of compliments on them. I have a relatively short neck, however these long earrings fit perfectly and elongated my round face without adding bulk. (sorry I don't have a better picture of them).

Love love love these!
Lightweight, elegant, and versatile. I have a relatively short neck but these long earrings worked perfectly on me. They had just enough sparkle, and edgy but sophisticated style, but we're not over-the-top. (Sorry I didn't get a better photo)

Too small, but nice quality
The fabric was soft and it had a nice quality. The body of the dress felt like one size too small and the draping on the shoulders two sizes.... I didn't wear it or the back up size. I choose my alternative dress.

Beautiful but Ridiculously small
I was shocked to see this. It literally looked like it was sized for a child. I could not even get it halfway on my wrist, and I have average to small wrists. I gave it to stars, because the material and the quality was fabulous.

Surprisingly modest... Funky & fun for a wedding cocktail night, but too small
This felt fun and unique, but it was too small (about 2 sizes). The fabric is a bit delicate and maybe a little itchy if I wore it all night. It was surprisingly not that revealing, even on flabby bits which you might have expected to show through the sheer. I would've enjoyed wearing it if it had fit.

Way too small, but fabulous quality
I rented this in a size 14 for my sister who is usually a 12 or 14. She couldn't even get it on. It runs at least 2 sizes small and its a very form fitting dress with a thick fabric. It did not come in a larger size. That being said, it had a fabulous hefty weight and the lace was a high quality and heavy which was just right for the main fabric. It would've been great for the winter wedding cocktail reception it was planned for.

Fun texture & versatile style but too small
I didn't get to wear it because it was very small, especially in the upper arms. It has great weight and texture. High quality.

Perfect for winter wedding cocktail attire.
The sleeves were a little short, but ok on me, but I do have short arms. The pockets were ok, but I didn't dare put anything other than my hands in them for fear of loosing something. Although I was grateful it had pockets. (I needed those bar hopping in a ski resort.) Otherwise it was perfect! The sequins were not too glam but just enough, and the bomber style was just enough edgy--great combo. The wool was warm but not itchy. I loved zipping it up for warmth. It looked great open or zipped.(sorry I didn't get a photo) I debated buying it because it's so versatile (would be great with jeans or to work too) but my closet is too full and I live in warm weather most of the time.
