Wore this for a work gala and loved it!
As a short girl, it was nice to find a full length dress that I could RENT that didn't need sky high heels. I wish there was a length filter! Waist was a little tight, but had some give.

Beautiful and functional!
I loved this bag and the handle! So convenient and paired great with my outfit. Fit my iphone, wallet, sunglasses (including case), and makeup for the night. The handle was also great, because it easily hooked on my chairback instead of putting it on the floor as I often need to do with clutches.

fun neckline and fitted bust - fun and comfortable!
would recommend this dress for other women with small busts. As a pear shape, I found this fit to be really comfortable - the fitted top and the flowy skirt made for a fun dress for dancing at a wedding

A bit worn, and long, but fun for a day outside
the straps fell down quite often, the sleeves hung a little lower than I wanted, and the hemline was FAR past my knees, since I'm 5'2", BUT this dress was fun and flirty and I had a great day in it. - very comfortable otherwise, and loved the hidden pockets.

Perfect bridal shower dress (I was the MOH, my sister was the bride)
I'm glad I read the reviews before ordering. I typically wear a size 6 or 8 depending on the dress shape (I'm short and definitely pear shaped). That said, the fabric was great and the dress was lined, the color was as vibrant as the photos, and the long gold belt was a great detail. I definitely recommend this dress, and recommend flipping through the user reviews for sizing and fit recommendations. I was able to get the 8 on, but for a full day wear, I went with the 10 since it was more comfortable!

Awesome pattern - long straps
First off- the pattern on this dress was amazing, there were pockets (!), and the material was great. However, as a curvy petite, I had a lot of issues with this dress. The bust was pretty stretched out so I needed to wear a push-up to avoid gaps (I would have preferred no bra with the material). The straps were also very long - I had to do some emergency work to shorten them - otherwise they would have been falling down all night. I also found that this dress ran very small. I usually wear an 8, but even the 10 was tight on my ribs with this dress. I did get a lot of compliments and the mix and match navy patterns looked awesome. RTR team was also really helpful getting me the size 10 same day as I was leaving for the wedding!

Favorite RTR!! Amazing material and SO beautiful
This was my favorite RTR so far!! The material was like a wet suit - it sucked you in and smoothed you out. The boatneck was a bit tough, but workable with a regular bra. The rouching in the front was very flattering, and the thick material smoothed out everything (like cellulite) and was warm for the outdoor night time event. I float between sizes 6/8/10 and I wore the size 44. I wish RTR had more dresses from this designer!!

Does not read like the picture - very gold
I ended up not wearing this to my event - putting it on, I looked like a gold disco ball. The pictures make it look like a more subtle sequin and a lighter color than it actually is. Shape wise, it fit well, but as expected the sequins were pretty scratchy on the edges. I ended up swapping for another dress at the RTR store, and the team there was very helpful!

Loved the dress and the material was perfect for the rainy night!
The straps, like the other posters have noted, are long. Not constantly, but one side or another fell off from time to time. The material was interesting - very comfortable and on the thicker side. As an A/B cup, the chest was a bit loose, but doable - no need for a bra. I found the size to be off - I am a 4-6 for tops, and this dress fits tightest around the ribs. I would have tried the 8 on if I had ordered that option. Needed to wear the 6 and it was a bit snug.

Great size, fun bag!
Pink interior didn't necessarily match my whole look, but overall, I loved the bag. Pretty light to carry around, fit a LOT. Was mostly gold and seemed a bit scratched up on the seashell from use, but couldn't tell unless you were right up close. Would rent again!
