I received many compliments!
I wear between a size 10 and a size 12 depending on the brand and/or fit, and wore the 12 due to the fact that this dress is very fitted around the hips and I am curvy. Easier to get around in and dance than I had thought when I first tried it on. But the fact that it was so fitted worked like Spanx on me and made me feel skinny, even in pictures. I received so many compliments and it was the perfect style for the event which was an upscale wedding.

I wanted to keep it!
I wore this for a company cocktail party. I am very curvy and this jumpsuit fit perfectly. The ruffle in the front also helped hide a little belly pooch. I did wear it with a strapless bar for my own comfort, but I probably could of gotten away without. I felt sophisticated and fashionable and received so many compliments. Also easy to zip and unzip without help. I hated to return it.

Perfect addition to my outfit
The perfect about of bling, and the Y shape really complimented the neckline of my dress. Necklace was also lightweight and I didn’t even feel it moving and dancing. I wore daintier earrings so as not to compete and I was very happy with the overall look.

This dress (and RTR) totally saved the day
This dress, with another, was overnighted to me after my original rental just didn't fit right. Wow! Was this dress perfect and a lifesaver. I was surprised by the material which is a very thick stretchy knit, but it was so forgiving on my curves and made me feel incredibly sexy. The color was gorgeous, a real showstopper. I did wear spanks to keep a smooth silhouette and a strapless bra. The hem was longer and came below my knees. I'm 5'9" with long lines, and loved the fact that the longer length kept the look of the dress classy. I received so many compliments, I'm actually glad my original dress didn't work out. I cannot stress enough how happy I am with RTR's customer service. They really, truly honor their 100% guarantee.

Pretty dress but awkward fit.
Loved the style, color and material of the dress, but like other reviewers have stated, the top is big and there is no room to wear even a strapless bra because of the cutout. I think if I had larger, fuller breasts this dress would have been a knockout. And I loved the longer length on me since I have long legs, but unfortunately, it just didn't work out for me. However, RTR saved the day by overnighting me two alternate dresses, one that worked perfectly.

This was definitely a showstopper!
I ordered an XL and an L as my backup size. Keep in mind I rented a dress just 2 months ago and ordered the same sizes in another dress and had to wear the XL. That being said, a) the dress runs big (it is very stretchy) or b) I lost weight since. Regardless I was able to fit the L easily and think I could have worn a medium if I had ordered it. Definitely size down for your backup. The material is thick, heavy and had a good amount of stretch so I found it to be super flattering on me without the use of shapewear. The dress hits below the knees and to the top of my calves. For reference, I'm 5'9" with long legs. The neckline was very deep and showed a lot of cleavage, but I was able to wear my regular bra with it. The sequins didn't scratch at all and the dress was super comfortable. I got so many compliments all night. Very happy with this rental.

Perfect holiday sparkle
This was the perfect amount of sparkle to compliment a red dress with dramatic neckline (another RTR rental). Not heavy at all.

Nonstop compliments
This dress is fitted but stretchy so I was able to zip up both sizes. However the larger size was more flattering. The color and cut is definitely attention grabbing and everyone I chatted with complimented me on the dress. There was no dancing so didn't need to worry about movement though it was easy to walk in. The dress accommodated a strapless bra. I was definitely happy with this rental and cannot wait until my next occasion.

I felt beautiful !
This is my 5th rental with RTR but the first time my backup size was unavailable. I was nervous, but noticed that they sent the dress 3 days earlier then I was expecting it, I assume to give me time to find another dress if this one didn't fit. Fortunately, it fit beautifully. I ordered the long, and found that it barely hit the floor barefoot (I'm 5'9"). Because of this I had to rethink my shoe and settled for a shorter heel. I went without a bra, I'm a 34D, and felt covered up enough where I felt sexy but not indecent. I didn't need spanx as the dress is roomy and flowy from the waist down and comfortable. Perfect for eating and dancing. The dress itself is stunning. The green is vibrant and flattering, and the lace is extremely detailed and stunning. I received so many compliments. Again, RTR never disappoints.

The perfect amount of sparkle
I rented these to wear with a gown I also rented from RTR. Perfect amount of sparkle and so lightweight I didn't feel them all evening.

I wanted to love it!
I think I loved the idea of this dress better that the reality. The color, material and style were perfect, but the fit was awkward. I wore this to a Confirmation dinner with family, so to make this appropriate I added a black cami and black tights. I have very long legs (34" inseam) and this dress was extremely short on me. Tights helped. The sleeves are long but perfect on me as I also have very long arms. The amount of cleavage would have been fine had it been a different event, but because I was with family and children I added the cami. It definitely is an attention getter, but I would have preferred a little more length in the skirt. It was fun to wear but I probably won't rent this particular dress again.

I recoeved so many compliments!
I ordered a 10 and 12, but because the lining had no give I wore the 12. The material was beautiful, thick with a lovely sheen. I felt so elegant and received so many compliments. And the pockets were a hidden bonus. I paired it with black suede pumps and black cluch. A regular strapless bra was all i needed, no special undergarments necessary. would definitely rent this dress again.

I love the reviews from actual women, and the convenience can't be beat.
This dress was not my first choice, my first choice became unavailable, but ended up being perfect for a daytime wedding. I'm usually a size 10 but wore the 12 backup size so it would not stretch awkwardly around my full hips. I recieved alot of compliments. It was a tad short, but at 5'9", I'm all legs. I wore it with large gold hoop earrings and nude pumps. As usual, I was very happy with my rental.

So many compliments and I felt both beautiful and comfortable.
This was first rental with RTR so I was hoping the reviews were correct and they were. I ordered in both my size and a size down for my backup size. I ended up wearing my backup size as true to reviews it runs large. However it is so comfortable and flattering and I received so many compliments. I love the pics and review from a variety of real people who rented the dress. It was so helpful to see the dress on real bodies and not models and is what ultimately helped me in choosing this particular dress. The dress is very dark navy, almost black color and I wore it with wine colored suede pumps. I'm 5'9" and 170 lbs. my legs are very long so this dress was short on me, but not indecent. I just made sure not to bend from the waist, lol! Because my weight is in my stomach, hip and thighs the fabric and cut of this dress was extremely flattering. I'm fairly average busted 34D and the cut was sexy but I was still able to wear a regular bra with nothing showing. I can't wait to rent from RTR again!
