Well made gown but not my style
Fit was small! I usually wear an 8/10 and the 12 was almost too small. I like everything about this dress except the straps. It's really well made and a thick, heavy material. Ultimately I didn't end up wearing it and I wore another style I rented.

Obsessed with this print
I first saw this outfit on RTR and had to have it for my friend's Hawaiian wedding. I found the top and bought it on sale, but had to rent the skirt. The size I wanted wasn't available at the last minute, so they shipped a replacement white skirt which didn't match the crop top and was, frankly, ugly. I called them when my skirts arrived to see what my options were and they ended up overnighting me another dress TO HAWAII. FOR FREE. For real their customer service is unparalleled. The skirt was still lovely despite being a little large. The 10 would have been perfect and I'm seriously searching to buy it all the time. I ended up wearing the dress they overnighted me to the wedding, but I am still obsessed with this outfit.

Beautiful red lace is a show stopper!
The fit was great and really standard. Cannot wear a traditional bra with this dress, so I went without and it was totally fine. The only issue I had with the dress was the lining kept poking my butt when I would walk. My friend covered it with a few bandaids and I was good to go! The lace detail is really beautiful without being too delicate. The cross straps on the back were pretty revealing, but since I couldn't really see them or my back fat, I didn't really care :)

Gorgeous print
I received this as a back up after the skirt I ordered could not make the delivery. RTR customer service was great, and despite me being in Hawaii, they were able to overnight me another option. This dress is gorgeous and true to size. The only issue was the chest area. Like other reviews had mentioned, the chest area is primed for flashing if you don't do something to control it. I noticed there was some stiching in the chest area from a previous renter, so I followed suit and used a sewing kit to sew the neckline a little bit higher. It worked pretty well, but I do wish the dress itself were more structured in the chest area.

Stunning and funky turquoise necklace!
I am obsessed with this necklace! It's so cool and unique and went great with my orangey/red-ish dress. I had no problems with the clasp coming undone like some other reviews said and I danced the night away without issues. I want to buy this necklace now!

Detailed dress- fun for outdoor spring wedding!
Fit is loose around hips so I sized down to a 6 and it fit perfectly. The fabric itself is a little bulky because of the texture from the ribbon but it's gorgeous and stayed cool all night (or maybe that was the wedding evening thunderstorm?). It was great for dancing and extremely comfortable all night. No need to worry about wrinkles with this dress! The color is great and I loved pairing it with turquoise accessories. Per usual RTR experience, the compliments were aplenty.

Beautiful cobalt lace dress- so many compliments!
When my friend's older uncle found me at the end of the night and told me he'd been wanting to tell me all night how gorgeous the dress was, I knew it really must have been! Everyone loved it and it's a gorgeous dress and accentuated my hourglass shape with the boning at the waist. My only complaint was that the lace on top was a bit big. I wanted to rent the size 8 but it was unavailable so I went with the 10. I only had a problem with the larger size when I was putting on my shoes leaning over and the hook and eye closures all came undone on the back. After that there were no problems at all and it was perfect and the back of the dress is amazing. Paired with some mystery bling, I am officially obsessed with this outfit.

Gorgeous mystery jewelry selection
I chose the mystery jewelry option that was emailed to me and these arrived. I never would have picked them for myself, but they are absolutely gorgeous and I loved wearing them. The heaviness didn't bother me because there wasn't dancing at the rehearsal dinner to which I wore them. I would love to own these and absolutely recommend them to others.

Show-stopping red dress
Absolutely loved this dress. It was gorgeous and well made. It was a little tight for my work holiday party, but people loved it. I wish it came in a size smaller, but with Spanx I was able to get away with the 10 even though the fabric didn't give at all. I also wish it weren't so darn expensive so I could own it!!
