So good I went out and bought it.

Seriously this dress is so flattering, it was a little long for me even in heels but the neckline, back cutout, sleeve length were all perfect. I’m self conscious about the rolls on my back but, magically, the cutout was placed in the perfect spot to both conceal those but still show enough skin to make it look intentional. Rent it now!

Perfect for Black Tie Optional Wedding

This dress was perfect for my event, the colors were vibrant and the style was classic and conservative (it was a Catholic service). The sizing is definitely strange, part of that is because it's designer and part of that is my weird body. I said it ran true to size because it mostly did. The waist was a little big (not enough to go down to my regular size 16) but the bust was very large for me, I had to buy a very padded bra just to fill it out and even then there was still a lot of room up top. I still would have gone for the size that I did since we were eating and dancing and I didn't want to be uncomfortable but if you carry your weight in the middle (and are not particularly top heavy) I would consider a different option. It was still very pretty and looked nice, but probably not the best style for my body type.

Pretty colors, weird fitting dress

When I read the other reviews that said they wore the dress backwards I though they were just being prudes. I was wrong, I do not know what body type this was made for but the true front of the dress was WAY to revealing. Seriously not even garment tape or safety pins would have fixed it. I wore the dress backwards as well and it fit perfectly. Colors and print were great and it was light enough to keep me cool on a 90°+ day. Overall great rental, flattering on most body types and a perfect summer dress. Loved it!

Beautiful fit, not the most comfortable though...

Love love love the print on this dress. I think it would be appropriate for spring/summer or fall/winter occasions. My only problem was that there was zero stretch. It fit fine but I had to have someone else put my necklace on because the dress was too stiff for me to raise my arms. Having said that I do think that it would be super flattering for most body types (I am a true apple shape and it hid my belly without spanx). Also a tad low cut so if you're busty I would either invest in some garment tape or pick another dress. I'm on the small side of a 36D and it was revealing but still classy, I would have been hesitant if I were any bigger. Overall great dress, def a good rental!

Great summer dress! Versatile enough to dress up with heels or dress down with sandals :)

I rented this for my friend's Stock the Bar party. I selected that it ran true to size but in reality it was slightly larger than my true size. I could have pulled off the size 10 but it's Texas June and I wanted a little more breathing room. The straps are super delicate but will hold up fine as long as you get the correct sizing (I am a pretty solid 36D and I went braless with no concerns). I started the night with heels and switched to sandals midway through the night and still looked cute either way. Overall it was a great dress, I got tons of compliments and felt super comfortable but still dressed up enough for the occasion. Would totally rent again.

Great dress for afternoon Bridal Shower, maybe size down though...

I ordered this in the XL hoping that it would fit a little closer to a shift dress. I definitely could have sized down to a L. It still fit cute in the body but the armholes were definitely a little larger that I would have liked. I belted it to give it a little more shape and was good to go. Overall I really loved this dress, the crochet detailing is gorgeous and it was super comfortable. Could easily be dressed up or down (I picked heels but could just as well have gone for sandals and still looked great). Great for any occasion, casual or more formal. Rent it!

Really lucked out on a last minute replacement dress!

This dress must have been destined to get to me. I chose it by mistake as a replacement, had no idea what the size was (it's European sizes btw) and just wore it on a whim. It. Is. Flawless. I normally wear a size 10-12 in dresses and the 46 fit perfectly. Fabric was soft and flowy, colors were vibrant, it was perfect. It is a little pricey for a rental but totally worth it, t looks and feels expensive. Can't say enough! Also shout out to rtr customer service, they are really great!

Beautiful dress

Definitely fit true to size, I am 5'6", 185 and carry most of my weight in my middle and the L fit just fine. I didn't have too much of a problem with it riding up when I walked, more so when I was sitting and going to stand. The fabric is very thick and will definitely keep you in place if you have minor trouble areas. Ladies with bigger problems (i.e. A larger belly, thigh issues) will want to try some shape wear. Overall a great pick (customer service was top notch too!)

Super comfortable, great colors!

Loved this dress, the colors were fantastic and the fabric was stretchy so I didn't feel like my waistband was too tight. Also POCKETS! The top part did fit kind of oddly, I wore a racerback bra and you could still see the straps so I would recommend a strapless bra with this one. I am 5' 6", 185 lbs, carry a lot of weight in my middle and the 12 fit perfectly. Definitely would recommend this dress to anyone

Looks really nice, fit was alright

In general this dress fit super cute. Like many other reviewers I was in between sizes. The medium fit closer to the model (more body con) but the zipper didn't lay flat. A large would have solved the zipper problem but then it would have been to big in the bust : / Also the shoulders do come up if you move your arms too much. Wouldn't recommend for a party or wedding or any event where you would have to move around a lot.
