Gorgeous in Green
This dress was one of my favorites. I think I might say that about every review, but it hugged my curves and I felt great. It did run a little bit small, but the next size up just felt weird and didn't hug me right. I decided to deal with a little tighter of a dress than feel like the top wasn't fitting correctly. I did wear spanx since it was so snug. The green is deep and gorgeous in person. The ruffle bottle is a great detail.

It's a classic statement
I wish I could own this gown. The fit and silhouette are perfect! The slit on the side adds subtle sexiness, while the ruffle is an elegant statement. It runs true to size. I'm 5'6 and wore about a 2.5-3in heel and the dress was the perfect length

It was beautiful yet too big on my wrist. All of the points on it also snagged everything
This bracelet is beautiful however I have tiny wrists so it was slightly annoying on my arm. It ended up snagging the shawl I was wearing so I took it off before the wedding ceremony even began

Simple yet elegant
This dress was one of my favorites I rented. It is tighter through the rib cage, but it was too large for my liking in the small. I dealt with it being a little snug vs. feeling like my boobs would fall out. The cutouts are a perfect touch too without being too revealing

Worn for my Rehearsal Dinner
This was not my first, second, or third choice to wear for my rehearsal dinner due to damaged or low stock in every dress I picked out. RTR was great in helping me get my orders resolved in time for this panicking Bride. I ended up receiving so many compliments on this dress. It hugs in all the right places and is sexy in a subtle way. It was true to size as I consistently wear a 0 with RTR. It was super comfortable and the length was perfect with being 5'6.

This was PERFECT for a Kentucky Derby themed Rehearsal Dinner!!
This dress was worn for a Kentucky Derby themed rehearsal dinner at Churchill Downs. Everything about the dress was perfect. The pinks are vibrant, the fit was true to size, & the back is amazing. Once again, I wanted to keep another dress I rented. #wedding #derbywear

I loved everything about this gown!
I fell in love with this dress. I wore it for a black tie optional wedding. The 0R fit me perfectly, but I also ordered the 2R as I read some reviews saying it was snug. The material is super stretchy making it form fitting which I loved. The top seam of the cutout was a little tight on my ribs, but not to where it was uncomfortable. I didn't even bother to try on the 2R, as everything I've rented I've been true to size in the 0. The color is rich and gorgeous - perfect for a formal event. With its simple design, your options for jewelry are endless. It took everything I had to send this dress back, I wish it was mine for good! I received so many compliments on it!

It was a head-turning gown
The sizing of the gown was true to size when talking about the bust and torso. The length was extremely long! I read the reviews so I knew it would be. Being 5'6, I was skeptical about the petite being too short for the shoes I was wearing. I wish I would've rented the OP and OR since the 2 was way too big. The color was slightly darker than pictured online, but green is my go-to color, so I was pleased either way. It's a deep emerald that is head-turning. I wore it for a black-tie optional event for my boyfriend's company. I paired it with a statement necklace to complete the look since the dress is pretty simple. It would make a great gown for a bridesmaid or black-tie event. I loved the dress overall and would highly recommend it for a formal event or bridesmaid dress. I almost didn't want to send it back!

A perfect dress for the big event to kick off the Spring/Summer season
I wore this dress for the Carolina Cup - a derby race in SC. This dress was perfect and I received so many compliments. The weather starting off storming which led to the grounds being muddy and me having to wear my wellies. The fit of this dress was spot on. I wear a true 0 and didn't have any problem with the fit. The back is unique (although it left me with a funky tan line!) -- I love anything with pockets so I was immediately sold! This dress was a perfect weight for an outdoor event and would be perfect for a spring/summer wedding as well. I would definitely rent this dress again if I had another event.
