Runs small. Very comfortable
I usually wear a size 8/10 or M in RTR but based on the reviews I ordered both an M & L. The L was a much more comfortable fit. Wore it on Christmas Day to celebrate with family. Top is very comfy. The sequins are actually soft and the garment is fully lined. It was a hit!

Didn’t wear it
I got this as a second choice for a wedding in case my first dress didn’t fit. It was way to casual for a formal event and looked very “Holly Hobbie/Little House on the Prairie” on me. Glad my first choice fit!!

Beautiful, comfortable dress
Wore this to a black tie wedding. Perfect dress for a fall or winter wedding! I usually wear an 8 but felt more comfortable in the 6. I was concerned bc the neckline is very low but I didn’t even need to wear a bra. The top is a thicker scuba-like fabric that is very form fitting. Loved the high low hem ( the dress didn’t drag on the floor in the back) The pockets were a plus and the skirt fabric is a pretty gold/bronze metallic brocade. I added the narrow metallic bc I felt the waist need some definition. One of my best rentals!

Didn’t fit
I was so excited to receive this dress bc I loved the color and design but the fit was awful! Tight through the body and very big across the back neckline. It flopped over and showed the lining and zipper, looked terrible. Luckily I was sent a replacement.

Okay but not my first choice
This was my back up since the first dress I chose didn’t fit. I got a lot of compliments but it isn’t my favorite rental. Sleeves were super long so I pushed them up. NOTE to RTR: there is a satin ribbon across the back neck that I am certain should be cut off. I looked at the dress on a few other sites and the back view doesn’t show that ribbon. I think it’s there just to keep the dress from falling off the hanger.

Elegant & Comfortable!
Another great RTR experience! I was surprised but happy that the Small fit. (I have lost some weight in the past few months I’m currently 126lbs.) The fabric has no stretch but it was so lightweight and flowy that the dress didn’t need the spandex. The color is really pretty, pretty true to the photos. Best part though is the asymmetrical drape. It’s so dramatic! I received many compliments on the dress (the bracelet. & earrings too). I also rented the jewelry. My only criticism was that I wish the dress was another inch longer but it wasn’t uncomfortably short and for someone younger I’m sure the length is fine.

Pretty Spring dress
I was pleasantly surprised I was able to wear the size M without it feeling at all tight. Loved the length of the dress too. It was the tiniest bit see through across the front I could see my panty line at the waist. If I had known that I would have worn shapewear that was high waisted. Overall it was Avery pretty & comfortable rental for a family birthday brunch.

Comfy and stylish
I rented this for Thanksgiving dinner with family. The fabric is very soft, it was like wearing my pjs. The roll up sleeves made it very comfortable to cook in. I’m very pleased with this rental.

Fun print for reunion luncheon
I don’t usually rent dresses that run S,M,L but I really liked this print so I took a chance. In hindsight I think I may have been more comfortable in a size Large but I wore spanx so the Medium was ok. The print is very vibrant and the thick scuba fabric helped me feel “ held in”. Got a lot of compliments and am overall very pleased with this rental.

Very pretty and expensive looking
When I first tried the bracelet on it was big on my small wrist but I was able to squeeze it gently to make it fit better. It looked great with the diamond hoop earrings I wore.

Comfortable and colorful
This dress was very comfortable. I initially intended to wear it to my mom’s 90th birthday party but because the dress is cotton it seemed a bit too casual for that so I wore it the next day to an outdoor party. Be aware that because it’s cotton you will most likely need to iron it before you wear it.

The print in this dress is spectacular and the fabric has stretch!
I rented this dress for my son’s wedding in August. I wore the 6R. The dress was very comfortable and I received compliments all night long! My only issue is that it is extremely long. I used the fashion tape and shortened it about 3 inches. I am 5’5”. I Alonso rented the earrings and bracelet and they were perfect as well!

Love the neckline
I rented the gown version of this outfit inTealma few months ago and got lots of compliments! I rented the jumpsuit for a dance industry gala in NYC. I am short waisted so It was too long in the bodice and didn't fit as nicely in the back as I would have liked. It was however very comfortable. I was also disappointed that it was not cropped as pictured as I think that would have been a more modern look.

Beautiful Day, gorgeous venue & great dress!
This was my first RTR experience so I was quite nervous although my daughter rents online frequently. I was sooo pleased! The dress was great...prettier color than pictured. It is actually a Deep Tea and it fit really well. At 64 I do not have 6 pack abs and the dress camouflaged my "pooch" while accenting my curves for a vey flattering fit. I received my compliments during the night. I didn't end up wearing either of the earrings I ordered. One pair the Large ombré crystal pair were just too large & heavy. The other pair Val Aztec design had gold accents and as I opted for silver sandals & bag I wore earrings I already had. Must say that if I had chosen gold shoes the Aztec earrings would have looked great. The dress would look good with either silver or gold accessories. Side note - I've attached a photo of 4 of us from the wedding in our RTR dresses. IMO we all look fabulous!
