I wanted to keep this dress!
I got so many compliments on this dress! I am absolutely obsessed with it! It accentuated my waist perfectly, fit like a glove without being restrictive, and made me feel so beautiful! I will say that it is a bit of a tricky situation pulling the dress on if you have a booty. But once the booty is in there- it looks amazing! I would assume that anyone with muscular arms would have some tightness in the sleeves (I experienced some, but nothing uncomfortable). Overall this dress was so incredible I want to keep it forever.

Stunning color/lace!
I ended up wearing my second style choice to my cousins wedding (which was located amongst the Red Woods north of San Francisco)- but I wanted to keep this dress! Absolutely gorgeous detail and fit like a glove! I am a size 2 with a relatively small chest and the XS fit perfectly! The slit in the back is sexy but not too high- making it effortless to walk in and not restrictive at all. Super flattering- rent this!!!

POCKETS! It has POCKETS! So cute!
Wore this to an early October wedding. Absolutely gorgeous colors, long enough to spin and dance in without worry. Very durable fabric. Super flattering on the upper waist. And having pockets was a huge plus! Love this dress! Didn't want to send it back!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try this one!
I was informed by the RTR crew that this dress's previous renter had damaged it beyond repair in time for my rental, so I was unable to try this dress. I was disappointed, not in the RTR staff, but more in the previous renter for harming such a beautiful gown. Fortunately, RTR accommodated my circumstances to the best of their ability, recommending me any dress of my choosing (ended up choosing the Take the Stage gown- highly recommend!).

Was the back-up to my back-up, and I loved it even more than I thought I would!
I was recommended this dress by stylist, Sheridan, after I was informed that my back up dress (Heaven on Earth gown) was damaged beyond repair by its last renter... I had always liked the look of this dress, but never thought I would be brave enough to try it- so once I found out the circumstances of my other dress, I was happy to go with Sheridan's advice and try this dress. I got a 4R, and the length was GREAT for FLATS. Perfectly grazed the floor, with a slight train. If I were to wear heels with it, I probably would have gone with a long. I have a very small upper body and could have maybe also tried a 2, but this fit nicely. SO flattering. The waistband hits in exactly the right spot and I love the way this dress hugs you in all the right places. It is also SUPER fun to twirl in. I really loved the weight of the dress- because you could tell it was well-made. The green color is also very lovely- great for a holiday party- and I liked the way it brought out the slight red contrast in my hair. Overall, I wish I could have kept this dress, honestly! Or had another occasion where I could have worn this dress, since I ended up going with my initial first choice! Don't be afraid to express all your concerns with a stylist and take their advice! I'm so glad I did; this dress is amazing!

Felt so beautiful all night in this dress!
First of all, lemme just give a shout out to the RTR costumer service. What an AMAZING group of people. Unfortunately, my original back up dress was returned from its pervious rental too damaged to send out to me, so they were quick to notify me and give me suggestions for another dress. I ended up choosing this dress to wear (it had been my first choice all along) and I am SO glad I did! It is absolutely GORGEOUS. It's a very romantic style, but the back makes it a statement dress. No one else had a dress like mine at the Marine Corps Ball. I ordered a 4R, but it was a little short for me, as well as not as tight fitting as I had wanted, so I called RTR right away and they sent me an overnight alternate backup size, 2L which was PERFECT. I wore about a 3 inch heel and the bottom merely grazed the floor. The open back is so sexy and shows off your back muscles, as well as hugging you rear end in all the right ways. I have a soft spot for lace, so this dress was all I could have asked for. The color is slightly more purple than the picture shows, but it is even more beautiful in person!
