Colorful and easy to wear!
The dress was super easy to wear and comfortable all night long! The material is stretchy, and I think the sizes are women's sizes because the 16 was roomy. Wish I had gotten the 14 as the back up. The top is lined, but the bottom is not. The pleats are very forgiving and the top covered by bra easily with no worries about straps.

Perfect for a garden wedding!
This is a typical Adrianna Papell fit -- a true 14W with a generous waist and a full-ish skirt to hide/skim hips. And plenty of room through the chest. And pockets. Pockets rock. It was so easy to wear and the dress flared when I twirled, which led to lots of twirling. The main con is that the dress is tea length, which isn't great on me. There were also no tabs to hold bra straps in place.

Danced the night away.
I wore this to a wedding and it was easy to sit, walk, and dance in. The 18 was available, so I went with the 20 and it was definitely too big. I pinned up the straps to help hide the bra, and reduce the cleavage. The bride made a point to come over and compliment my dress!

Fun color and Fun style
Super comfortable! The arms weren't too tight, and the length (knee) was very good for keeping coverage and dancing the night away. I didn't wear it out -- it was the back up dress and I was curious to try it on for the future -- and I think I'd go nude hose and shoes for a spring wedding coming up.

Great Fall Dress!
Cute dress, good for a fall/winter wedding. The material is a brocade, so it's a little heavier. The cap sleeves would move around a bit, but perhaps that's because the top was a little big on me. NB: This is a Women's 14, not a misses 14, so you might need to size down.

Gorgeous, Easy to wear dress!
So many complements all night long! The fabric is just beautiful -- a lovely silk brocade. It seemed a little darker than the photo. I got the 16, and it fit okay -- the narrowest part is at the natural waist. It would have fit me a little better if either I was a little smaller, or if there was an 18 available. It flowed over the hips, and swung lightly as I walked or danced. I will rent this one again! Necklace is the Ben-Amun Victorian Crystal Statement Necklace and it suited the neckline really well.

So cute!
The purse was the right size for an iPhone 4S, a couple of cards/money, and lipstick. It was easy to carry all night, and I didn't end up using the strap tucked inside. The only down side is that the glitter is rough, so when I would tuck it under my arm, it felt like it was getting caught on the fabric. I was a little worried about it getting stuck on the rented dress.

Sparkling in Red
The dress was so easy to wear! It's got a bit of stretch and flares wide at the waist, so it was perfect for my pear shape. At 5'6", it hit right at the knees, which was just right. I found the top to be a smidgen big, and could have gone down a size I think. The shoulder straps are set wide, and there are no bra holder-thingies, so I made my own. The dress is a true Women's size, so you might want your back up size to be one smaller.

Hugs those curves!
This is a very forgiving dress - the fabric has a lot of stretch. The rouching on the side smoothed the look. Neckline is a little low cut, but stayed in place over dinner. Very sexy look.

Royal Blue Classic!
I enjoyed wearing this royal blue dress out to an engagement party. It feels very classic. And is more blue than the photos -- I almost didn't recognize it in the RtR Las Vegas Store! I enjoyed wearing this dress and would consider it again. This dress is a true Womens size. The lining has some stretch, so it is really easy to wear. It has bra hook thingies, but I didn't need them.

This multi-strand set of pearls takes classic up a notch. It was a little heavier than what I normally wear, but you got used to it quickly.

Lovely and easy to wear
This was my back up dress, and I didn't wear it. The dress was actually labeled an 18W! And thus it was too big for me (I wear 14W/16W). The fabric has some stretch, and moves well. Where the peplum is set there is seam all the way around, which would likely get scratchy against bare skin all night.

Super cute dress and super comfy!
This dress is a Misses 16, not a Women's, which I was expecting and ordered the 18W as my back up. I was so pleased that the 16 fit -- a little snug at the waistband, but over all solid fit. The shoulders bunched a little, but it was less noticeable once I used the bra strap hooks. There is a little sheen to some of the black in the pattern, which was nice. Over all, this was a lovely dress and I enjoyed wearing it all night. It was a little sad to see it go home...

Great Party Dress!
I found the 16W tight through the arms and hips, so I went with the 18W for all night comfort. The dress has some stretch which added to the comfort. It was a great dress and I got compliments on it all night long!

So pretty -- but small through the hips
Beautiful gold overlay! But this dress is not for the pear-shaped. I wear 16M jeans, and the last dress I bought was a 14W, so I figured the 16W would be fine -- It's really more of a 16M. Fit through the bust and waist (my waist is fairly thick right now, so this was a surprise), but the 16 was so tight on the hips I couldn't bend over. The dress has no give. Go at least 1 size up.

Sparkly and Comfortable
The dress fit easily, was long enough to not worry about sitting, and was comfortable for an evening of eating and socializing. I found it to be a little low cut, but a broach solved the issue. I'd order this one again when i need something that shines.

Lovely in Fuchia
This is my second time renting this dress -- i think it's just going to be my permanent back up because each time got lots of complements! Fits well on my pear shaped frame and hits perfectly at the knee. Most amusing part of the night was figuring out that someone else had used RTR! This is me and Sydney in our fab rented dresses!

Lovely lace sheath!
This dress runs true to size, with little wiggle room, which was sad because the 12 was just too small through the waist/hips (I wear more of a 14). A girl can dream. Would rent again when I was more confident it would fit. Definitely need a backless bra here -- there is no way around that.

So Pretty!
I ordered this as a back up dress, and ended up wearing the first choice. I almost wore it the next day on a flight just to wear it! It has lots of hooks and snaps to make sure the wrap part stays closed and you stay covered.

I'm wearing more of a 14 these days, so the 12 was a little snug, but my boyfriend did not mind at all. The straps are fantastic and really make the dress. I would totally wear this again.
