This was my backup dress that came with a dress I rented for a March wedding. Since both dresses fit, I decided to wear this to the rehearsal dinner. It was comfortable and fun and I got a lot of compliments on the color. The mother of the groom said it looked like I was wearing a tutu - lol! I'm around a size 16 (in the process of losing weight) so I ordered the 14W and it was just a little tight in the waist, but not to the point of discomfort.

Wore to a St. Patrick's Day wedding in Boston, hence the boots. I'm in the process of losing some weight so I wasn't sure how the sizing would work out for my first RTR experience. The 16 was just on the edge of being too tight because the waist line (where the black top meets the start of the skirt) has no stretch, despite the rest of the top being very stretchy (and slightly loose around the bust area) and comfortable. I ended up wearing shapewear underneath, but I think that was just because I'm somewhat between sizes right now. I really love the color of the skirt and besides the tightness in the waist it was very comfortable and easy to dance in. The pockets were awesome, I didn't have to bring a clutch or anything! I also rented the necklace seen in the pictures and the ensemble was a hit! I got lots of compliments and had a great night. Hoping I can rent this again in a smaller size down the line! (Note: The blazer is mine, not RTR's)
