Classy & Comfy
I wore this for a Christmas brunch and it was perfect. I could have worn the size 0, but it was pushing a bit at the buttons near my chest and I felt like I wouldn't have been able to move around much, so I ended up wearing the size 2. It was very flattering and I received multiple comments.

Flattering and Stunning!
I was surprised at how comfortable this dress was. There was plenty of stretch, yet it held you in all the right places. The size 2 fit fine, but I was able to get into the size 0 so I went with that to look slimmer. There was no scratching from the sequins, just a little itch from the shoulder pad. I wore this to a work gala and got tons of compliments. I would definitely rent it again!

Beautiful vibrant color
I rented two dress options for my birthday and I ended up just wearing this on a date. It was a little loose and honestly I could've gone with a size 0 instead. Every time I sat down I had to be careful that the straps wouldn't fall down. I wore it with sticky boobs, but you probably could've gotten away with a strapless bra as well. The color was gorgeous, but if you have larger thighs then it is not as flattering in my opinion; I wish the design was slightly different in the front so that it looked more like a skirt than shorts.

Too Tight
I originally rented this dress for a wedding, but when I received it I realized it was not wedding appropriate. I ordered up a size, but the dress was still too tight and it hugged my backside way too much, while also showing too much cleavage. I just felt like there was no room to breathe & that the dress would show everything, even underwear lines. The dress was difficult to get on & off without there being a zipper as well.

Great detail & color
I rented this dress for a bridal shower and it worked out great. I will say the free backup size showed some wear with the beading coming loose. But other than that the dress fit great. Even the size 0 had some extra room to move around because of the shape of the dress.

Perfect for dancing the night away at a wedding!
This dress was gorgeous and I would definitely wear it again. The 2R fit fine, but even with 5" heels the dress was just barely off the ground, so I would probably go for the 2P next time just for the length. I didn't need a bra, but I wore sticky boobs. There was enough room throughout the hips for me to dance comfortably. I didn't have too many issues with the straps staying up. Overall the dress was beautiful and I received lots of compliments!

Too large, did not wear, but beautiful fabric and design
I should have sized down because most dresses I've ever worn from this designer run large. I rented this for Christmas and ended up not wearing it because it was too big. The fabric was a lovely color and I liked the open back detail, but unfortunately I did not get to wear it.

Beautiful color, lots of compliments!
I rented this dress for a work event and did have to safety pin the top together as it was a little too low cut. The rest of the dress was very flattering and it was snug in all of the right places without being too tight to breathe. The shoulders didn't scratch me and they added a nice fun detail. I got so many compliments on this dress and would definitely rent it again!

Beautiful and elegant dress, felt like a princess!
I rented this dress for a work holiday party and got so many compliments all night. The size 2 fit perfectly in the waist and bust area and I was able to wear a strapless bra with it. It was a little tight in the arms, but not uncomfortable. I didn't find the dress to be itchy or scratchy, but I could see how the fabric would feel like that. It had just the right amount of body under the skirt to give it some volume. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Beautiful fabric and has pockets! Comfortable enough to dance all night long!
I always float between sizes on dresses as my hips are 2-4, but my bust/waist are 0-2. This dress I ended up wearing the size 0 since it felt a little too big in the bust area for the size 2. The fabric was perfect and the dress fit well in all of the right places, best of all it has pockets! The zipper does stick around the waist area, but other than that everything about this dress was perfect. I wore it for an industry holiday party and got so many compliments. The open back was lovely and the front showed just the right amount of cleavage. I wore sticky boobs and didn't have to mess with anything all night. Would definitely rent this one again!

Got compliments all night long!
This top was gorgeous! I rented it for a themed work party and wore it similar to the model with black jeans and booties. It was flattering in the chest and waist area, but your arms are restricted in movement (they can only be raised so high). I would absolutely rent this top again!!!

Great color and enough wiggle room to be comfortable.
This dress definitely has a deep V that was not acceptable for the event I was going to, so I wore a camisole underneath. I found that the sleeves were a little hard to stay on my shoulders even though I felt like I filled out the chest area. Overall it worked out well, but beware of the deep neckline on this dress.

Gorgeous color and flowing fabric!
I was nervous about renting this dress due to all of the comments about the chest area running small. I ordered a 4R and 6R as a backup since I am a 34C. While the 4R was snug, it wasn't too tight to where I couldn't breathe and I was still able to wear a strapless bra with it (although I certainly didn't need one with the way the dress is made). I tried the 6R on and it was just too loose, whereas the 4R was more snug and flattering around the waist area. I'm 5'4", wore 3-4" heels, and the dress just hovered above the ground so I carried it when I walked. I danced the night away in this dress and got compliments all night!

This dress was perfect for the formal wedding I attended. I felt like a Greek goddess!
This was my first RTR experience and I am so happy! I got the 4R as a backup size because sometimes my chest is a size 0-2, but my hips are a size 2-4. However, the 2R fit absolutely perfectly. The zipper is a little hard around the ruching in the mid-section, but other than that the dress was easy. I decided to wear a bra with the dress just for extra support, even though there are cups sewed in. It definitely enhances your breast size/gives you extra cleavage so beware of that if you are going to a more conservative event. The 2R was long when I didn't have shoes on, but with my 4" heels it hovered just above the ground. The flowy fabric made it easy to dance in and I didn't have to worry about adjusting the straps or anything all night.
