Absolutely comfortable and beautiful!
Rented the dress for my 2nd round of engagement pics and the dress did the trick! The color was great and the fit was good. It was a bit loose so I had to be careful with my poses because it did bunch up in the front and gave the illusion of a big belly. Absolutely comfortable and the length was just right. I ordered the 12 & 14 and the 14 fit a too loose (borderline muumuu) so went with the 12. Got many compliments. Let's just say the dress is so awesome that even my fiancé wants me to rent this dress again!

The color, the color, the COLOR!
I rented the dress for my engagement pictures. My photographer had requested bright colors so when I saw this dress on the RTR site, I knew this was the one! Yes, it's a tad bit formal especially if you are running around DTLA in a bright pink dress. The color is beautiful and the fit was fantastic. I ordered a 14 and 12 thinking the 14 (since designer dresses run small) would fit best. Turns out, the 12 was perfect. The dress was comfortable and it didn't bulge or shift unlike other strapless dresses. I didn't have to wear a bra (I'm a 36C) since the inside has a built in bra. Another plus, it has pockets which held my phone, lip gloss, mirror and foldable flats! You could not tell in any of the pics that I had all that stashed inside the pockets. Minor complaint was that it's a tad bit long from the back so I had to make sure to carry the tail so it didn't drag (when wearing flats). Overall, I loved this dress starting with the color (yes it's bright but beautiful), the fit and fabric. I felt amazing wearing the dress and it translates in the pics. I wish I had pics to share from the shoot.

Comfortable and Amazing Rich Color!
I wore this for a summer wedding and got tons of compliments. The color is fantastic and I love the pockets on the dress! Overall, the dress is super comfortable but it's a tad bit snug around the waist band but manageable. I would definitely rent this dress again for another occasion.

Beautiful summer dress!
I wore this dress for the daytime portion of the wedding I attended. Very vibrant! The dress was light and fresh. The size was a tad bit to big around the bust area and sits low in the back. I didn't expect the back to be so exposed so I didn't prepare with the correct bra. Thank God I had a nude color bra on but that only went so far. I suggest wearing a backless bra. Overall, it was a great dress for the daytime. Got many compliments on the color and style.

Stunning dress!
I fell in love with the dress when I first saw it on RTR! It takes beautiful pictures, which is what made me order the dress! The fit was snug but I'm not used to wearing tight fitting dresses. I wish I would have ordered a size up as it fit true to size. If you are not comfortable with clings-to-your-body type of dress, size up! I had to be careful when bending down because the dress was short. The dress was a HIT! I went to a traditional Indian wedding and it was all about the sparkle! I will definitely rent from RTR again!
