Comfy and flattering!
I wore this for my shower and loved it! It was super comfortable - it's very stretchy and while it's form fitting I never felt like it was too tight. I got a lot of compliments on it. I wore the large at 32 weeks pregnant. For reference, I'm 5'7" and currently 175lb.

Lots of compliments
I wore this to a wedding reception in Nola and really liked it! I'm typically in between a medium and large, and I do think a large would have been more comfortable in terms of breathing room, but it wasn't available at the time I rented. The medium was snug on me but not totally uncomfortable, I just needed an extra hand to zip it up. I'm also a fan of not needing to wear a bra with this dress, and felt supported without it (34F over here).

LOVED this dress!
After a few snafus with my original rental and two other backups due to sizing issues or previous renters not returning dresses in time, RTR overnighted this dress to me and it worked perfectly! The cut was super flattering at my waist, and I didn't even have to wear a bra, which is always a plus. I wish I had taken a picture of the back of the dress, as it was one of my favorite parts, and a total surprise when I first took it out of the garment bag. The long was a tad too long on me, I'm 5'7'' and wore four inch heels, and I found myself having to pull up the front of the dress when walking at times, but I think the regular would have been too short. This is probably one of my favorite rentals to date.

Comfortable!
I needed a last minute blush pink bridesmaid's dress after the dress I originally purchased did not work out. This was sooo comfortable, and the fabric was both stretchy and heavy enough to smooth things over. I didn't feel too exposed on top, which I sometimes have to worry about. The length was also great (I'm 5'7" and wore 3.75" heels) and the high-low cut was nice, since I didn't have to worry about tripping on any fabric in the front of the dress. Bonus - it covered up my terrible sports bra tanlines perfectly.

Beautiful dress, but the slip wasn't sent!
Both dresses (main and backup) did not have the nude slip included, so I called the RTR customer support line in a slight panic. They only had fifteen minutes left in the day before the last shipment went out, but the girl I spoke to was very helpful in finding two backup dresses from my "hearted" list, even though options were pretty limited. Just to be safe, I bought a black slip and brought that with me to the out of town wedding. I ended up actually wearing the black slip underneath this dress, since the backup dresses were pretty heavy material for a southern July wedding, and it looked beautiful. I got a TON of compliments from friends as well as strangers. My only complaint about the dress was that the lace around the top was a bit stretched out, but it wasn't a huge deal. It was very comfortable, and an appropriate length for a catholic wedding. Apologies for the awkward photo, but this is the only one I got that shows it somewhat full-length.

Beautiful color
Ran a little short for my taste, but it does accentuate your legs nicely. I did add some dress tape to the back as it was gaping open slightly, but the tape didn't really hold for very long. I wore it to a barrister's ball, and think it would be fun for similar events or a bachelorette/birthday night, but not super appropriate for something more formal like a wedding. Color is really pretty, and the sequins didn't irritate me at all.

Comfortable and flattering
I wore this for a rehearsal dinner and paired it with my own statement necklace (I didn't take any pictures that night, unfortunately). It's comfortable and slimming in the midsection, and the fabric is sturdy without being overly hot. I have somewhat of a large chest (32 DDD/34 DD) and this kept the tatas in check ;) Would recommend for bustier ladies as it has a comfortable amount of stretch.

Cute and Comfortable NYE look
I rented this as a backup (since it was a steal with RTR's New Year's Eve price) for going out with friends to a party and then a bar, and I'm glad I did as my original choice didn't fit. This fit true to size, although I found it to be a tad bit tight across the chest/front of the shoulder area, but that could be because I have a larger chest. I loved the open back and thick ribbon tie, and wore a sticky bra with it. I liked the fact that it had pockets, but did notice that the bottom half was slightly more roomier in the front than I would have preferred. I deducted a start since there were a few dangling threads and loose sequins even before I tried it on, but I think in the end it was only noticeable to me. Overall, this was a fun and comfortable (and sparkly!) option for New Year's Eve.

Sadly did not fit
I rented this in a medium for NYE festivities, but unfortunately it didn't fit and I returned it. I took a gamble on this one, as I have a slightly wider ribcage and larger chest (36D), and wasn't able to zip it up. Just a warning out there for gals with a similar physique, as there's no stretch with this material. It is a beautiful dress, though!

Cute and versatile
I rented this for a quick trip to New Orleans. This purse was really sturdy and quite roomy. I was able to fit my phone, sunglasses case, and other various odds and ends. This purse works with both casual daytime outfits and dressier nighttime looks. My only complaint is that my hair occasionally got caught in the small circular studs along the strap.

Received tons of compliments - great for a wedding!
This was a great dress for an outdoor wedding in May. I received a compliment as soon as I got to the ceremony from the girl handing out the programs, and the wedding photographer actually pulled me to the side to get a few individual pictures (whaaat!) I was a little worried about wearing strapless since I have a larger chest, but the boning and construction of the upper section made it very secure and I didn't find myself hoisting it up all night. I also didn't need to wear a bra - another plus! I went with the 6R, wore four inch heels, and it was the perfect length. My only con, as many people have pointed out, is the tricky zipper. This is the only reason I'm giving this dress a four-star rating. There was a lot of grunting and twisting involved to get this dress zipped up since I was flying solo at the wedding I attended (hence the potato-quality selfie). If you have a friend or a date there, you may want to ask them to lend a hand.
