Meh
It was large, bow was super wrinkled, definitely not meant to be form-fitting. I wore it because my other dress didn't work out, but there was nothing flattering about this dress. Pros: I guess color and that I didn't have to worry about anything showing through the dress.

Compliments on color
Personally, the color was faded, not as bright in the photo, and some parts of the dress had been stretched out. It created a pouch in the belly area, but it worked for the wedding, and I still received compliments. Nothing special though.

Showstopper
Honestly, I don't remember if I rented the 4R or 4L, but I received many compliments for this dress! I didn't think I was going to love it, but I did

Cute and comfy
Wore this to work for an event, and I received many compliments! I liked the bow, that the dress accentuated my waist, the material was thick, and the length was professional for work.

Big hit at rehearsal dinner!
My husband wants me to buy this dress!! I received so many compliments and was not expecting that since I thought this dress was simple but classy. It was a bit short for me at 5'8" (and I wore heels) if I would have to bend over, but the length on the side balanced it out. Would rent again!

Engagement photo outfit
It's large on top, way wider than it needs to be, but the bottom is true to size. I fit in the XS, but with the bottom of the XS being smaller/tighter but the top still being just as large/wide, it looked a little weird, so I went with the S. I was a fan of the color (it's brighter in the photo due to editing) and the length. It's just odd sizing from top to bottom (and my fiancé agreed). I still like how it turned out in photos though!

Engagement photo outfit
I knew it ran small because I've rented this designer before and back then, I didn't end up wearing the dress because that's how small, short, & tight it was. I definitely recommend sizing up! I don't remember if I went with the 8 or 10, but usually I'm a 4 or 6. In the engagement photos where I'm facing the camera, there's a line across my belly (the dress rode up? Lining?) This side photo of the dress is one of my favorites!

Size up at least 3 sizes!
I'm usually a 4 or 6 on RTR, so I ordered the 6 since the 8 nor 10 were available for the dates I needed. Waaaaay too tight. There was no way I was going to wear that. RTR overnighted me the Ruby Manhattan dress (red version of this dress) as a replacement since this green one wasn't available in the sizes I needed. I requested an 8 and 10, and there was little difference in sizes. This dress really has little stretch. I feel like I could've worn a 12 or 14, but I went with the 10 since that's the biggest size I had.

Beautiful dress!
First off, this is a gorgeous dress, & I received so many compliments from coworkers, students, & strangers as I wore it to chaperone the Walking the Red Carpet-themed prom. People commented that I looked like I was going to a gala & asked if I had come from the opera. After reading reviews, I had decided to go with the regular length, but when I received it, it was short for my 5'7" height without me wearing heels, so I called & RTR was able to ship a 4L in time for the event. The 4L was a little too long, so I had to lift the dress at times when I walked to avoid it getting caught, but I was able to wear heels. The top was too low cut for me, causing me to struggle A LOT with pinning it & taping it, but I would rent this dress again!

Last minute decision!
I loved the vibrant color of the skirt portion although it was a little too poofy for my taste. People could spot me from way up in the stands and texted me compliments about the skirt (they thought the dress was 2 separate pieces) & how they loved that it had pockets, something I appreciated as well! Pockets were extremely helpful since I couldn't have my purse on me for this event. You can't really tell from the picture, but the 4 was big on me; I wish I had gone down a size instead of up & gotten a 2 for a tighter top. The hole for the arm part had a gap, so I was re-adjusting to make sure my bra wasn't showing, but the material of the top part was thick and comfortable. Overall, many compliments & very professional for a work event!

Flattering!
I'm usually a 4, & although the 4 fit, it was too snug, so I felt like I'd have to suck my stomach in the whole event. I ended up with the 6, which was comfortable! This is a small detail, & I barely noticed it, but the zipper poofs outward on your butt creating a strange crease, which I thought looked a little odd, but it didn't stop me from wearing this slimming dress. I received numerous compliments & thought it photographed beautifully! Would DEFINITELY rent again!

Comfy, easy, cute
Simple dress. Kind of wished the blue were brighter, but for the price & fit, I was satisfied. The lace sleeves rubbed a bit depending on my arm movement, but it was minimal & not uncomfortable.

Classy
I sized up for it to fit perfectly, super comfy. Long on me, which was a good balance with the cut outs.

So many compliments for this dress!
I've never been one for sequins, but I really loved the design & color on this dress (& so did many others!). I ended up wearing the 6 since it was more loose than the 4, but it was short for my height at least. I had to be extra attentive to how I was sitting to ensure I wasn't revealing anything.

Too tight and short
I made the mistake of only reading reviews with pictures. I normally wear a 4, but the 6 was still too tight and short for the bridal shower I had rented it for. Beautiful color, but didn't end up wearing it.
