Very classy
I rented this for a graduation ceremony and it was beautiful. The color is super rich and the cut is wonderful.

Beautiful!
I rented these for my wedding and they looked AMAZING. They're pretty light-weight and I was able to dance in them all night without pain or them getting stuck in my hair (although it was up). Would definitely recommend for a classy addition to any outfit.

Cute but ended up not wearing
I rented this for my wedding rehearsal but didn't end up wearing it because I thought the black lace was just a little too dark. Otherwise it fit very well and I would have worn it in a different situation.

Fun sparkly dress
I wore this dress for my rehearsal dinner and got tons of compliments about it. There is a little stretch to the material but it hugs every curve. I loved this dress!

LOVED this dress!
This dress was amazing and I felt so beautiful in it. This is probably my favorite dress to date! It fit me perfectly. I wore the 8 to have just a little more room, but I could've fit in the 6 if I didn't want to eat. :) I just can't say enough good things about this dress. I wish I owned it!

Everyone else liked it
I'm long-waisted and this dress did not work for me. It hit me in the wrong place and the flare made my tummy look bigger than it actually is. However, I did receive multiple complements from other people. I just didn't feel totally comfortable in it and kept trying to adjust it all night long. I was worried about the sequins because I have sensitive skin, but they didn't bother me at all. I had to wear the 8 because it was too tight in the bust... unusual for me!

Didn't fit right
I'm rather long-waisted and this dress did not hit me right. I felt a bit uncomfortable while I wore it and kept adjusting it all day. It's a pretty dress, though.

Light and beautiful
These look like they might be heavy but they're definitely not. The middle stone has a bunch of different colors to it, much like an opal. Would definitely recommend!

Too big
I rented this as a back up size (size 8) when my original dress didn't fit. It was overnightted to me and arrived by 9am the next day, which was amazing. However, I couldn't wear this as the straps were way too big and fell off my shoulders. Also, the lining in the front fell about 1" lower than the lace for some reason. The lining is sewn into the dress at the waist, so I would've had to do some creative tacking up in order for it to work. Color was pretty but the fit and quality were sub par.

Stunning
This dress was shipped overnight after my first choice didn't fit. It arrived by 9am on Saturday and was in great shape. I'm glad I ended up with this dress as I got many complements on the fit and color. It was very comfortable and classy!

Too small in the bust
I tried the 6 and it fit my hips and waist but would not zip up over my chest. I don't have a big bust by any means (34B) but even without a bra I couldn't get the dress to fit. I guess I have a big rib cage?? Otherwise the dress was beautiful and arrived in good shape. Still, very disappointing as I had been looking forward to wearing this dress for months :(

Pretty and went well with my dress
I didn't expect these to be as large as they were, but it wasn't a problem. The colors are beautiful and added a pop of different color to my dress (Carmen Marc Valvo Botanical Berry Sheath.) The only thing I didn't like was that they were a little heavy and I had to take them off while I was dancing because they were hurting my ears. Also, I'm allergic to nickel but not so much that I can't wear jewelry like this. These bothered my skin within minutes of putting them on, so if you're super allergic you might want to avoid these or get some Nickel Guard, which is what I used and I credit it for being able to wear them as long as I did!

Pretty color for a fall wedding
I received compliments about the color and fit throughout the night! However, like everyone else says, the sleeves are a bit tight. Mine were only tight at the bottom and the actual sleeve itself was fine. I didn't order a 4, but I think that dress would've fit better but the sleeves would've been too tight. I thought the 6 looked a little baggy in some pictures. Length was a little shorter than I thought (maybe a couple 2-3 inches above my knee) but still looked classy. When I danced the dress did lift up, so watch out if you're super tall! I wore the Anton Heunis Budding Blue Cluster Earrings with this and the colors were great together.

Beautiful, comfortable dress for date day
Based on other reviews that it runs large, I ordered an XS but was worried about the long length since I didn't want to wear heels. When I called RTR and explained that I wanted to wear flats, they still recommended the XSL, which was a perfect length for me. The XSL hit right at the ground without dragging. My backup size was a SL, which was too big in the waist and straps and way too long (probably about 2in extra). The straps are about 1cm too long in my opinion, but nothing too bad. The material is light and flowy, and the elastic waist gives a lot and still makes the dress look great if you indulge in a nice lunch or dinner... or both! Transitions very well from day to night. Overall very flattering and I wish I had this in my closet now!

I love this clutch
This is the second time I've rented this clutch (have rented a different color previously, which I liked a little more than this one) and I've booked it again for a wedding in the fall. It's so classy, easy to carry and big enough to carry phone + makeup, keys, cards, etc. It's more sparkly in person than in the picture, but it's very subtle. Paired with the Erin Fetherston Malibu Orange Crush dress and nude heels.

Pretty and generally flattering
The dress is a little more orange in person than in the picture, and the ombre was great. The 4 fit me, but the 6 looked a little better length-wise (hit about 1 inch above my knee and I'm 5'8".) The lining was still a little tight around the bust, though. The shell looked fine except when it got caught on the tighter lining underneath and bunched up. The skirt is light and flowy and looks very pretty when you're standing still. One of my pet peeves is dresses that go in between my legs when I'm walking so the outline of my thighs is very distinct, and this dress did this! I kept pulling it out while I was walking. But like I said, it did look very nice when I was standing still, which I did a lot at the event (a banquet.) Overall a good dress for the price and was in good condition when I got it. I did have to iron/steam it (especially the skirt) as it had gotten wrinkled during shipment. I paired it with a teal necklace, Lauren Merkin Eve clutch and nude heels.

Loved it!
I loved this clutch! The fabric felt really nice and the clasp mechanism held the top together very tightly. It was a great size; I could fit in my phone, a couple keys and cards and lipstick. I was sorry to send it back!

Pretty Ok
My biggest problem with this dress was the zipper. It got caught, every time, where the skirt met the bodice. It even happened in my backup size! I was afraid the zipper would break! The fit itself was fine, but I wish it was a little bit longer. The fabric was gorgeous, though.

These earrings look heavy but they aren't at all... no saggy earlobes here! They're a little more yellow than I expected but overall I was very happy. They sparkled all night! I wore them with "The Vote is In" dress by Tracy Reece.

Loved this dress :)
This dress is beautiful! The fabric is very light so it's perfect for a spring event. I had enough room in the size 4 to move comfortably (and eat what I wanted) throughout the night. It did cut sharply over the chest area, so if you're worried about that pesky armpit bulge you may want to think again about this dress... I kept pulling it up but after I started dancing I totally forgot about it. I received many complements throughout the night. Overall I loved this dress and was sad to have to send it back! This was my first RTR purchase and I will be back again! I wore RTR kate spade "champagne kate chandelier" earrings with this outfit.
