FUN jumpsuit!
This jumpsuit is flattering and fun with the sparkles! I have a bit of a tummy but this hides it very well. It's quite stretchy, so don't stress about the sizing; if you're between sizes, I'd choose to go down. At 5'4 the R felt like a nice length, and it actually wasn't awkward shaped on me. I have nowhere to wear this on a regular basis as it's definitely on the formal side, or I'd consider buying it!

A little frumpy.
This dress fit a little too large on me in terms of the zipper, but it seemed HUGE when I was wearing it. Major frump vibes. I think you've probably got to have a slim profile for this to look good on you - if you're a thick girl, you may want to look elsewhere.

Would buy...
...if the price were just a bit lower. I did say this fit "just right" but that's not QUITE true. It was juuuuust slightly too small in the shoulders, and juuuuust slightly too big in the sleeves. But barely - still absolutely wearable and a real head-turner.

Terrible zipper.
LOVED the look of this jumpsuit, but it's an absolute no-go because I simply could not get the zipper up by myself no matter what I did. You WILL need help to wear this outfit.

Unless you've got boobs...
Man oh man, this dress looked hot on everybody in their photos. I decided to give it a go. I don't consider myself THAT flat chested (I generally wear a B cup although Victoria's Secret likes to claim I'm a C when they fit me). But this dress basically ACCENTUATED the lack of boobs on me. Which is a shame, because I have a sort of eye-catching tattoo I thought looked pretty neat in the dress. The length is actually a bit conservative, as well! It goes below the knee. I was looking for a "sexy, not slutty" dress and, with the right rack, this could be it. But be aware you need the right chest for it. The cut outs ended on my natural waist, which is great because my stomach (hips to natural waist) has a little pooch but from my natural waist and above, it's all flat. So looked good there. Just lacked the boobs to pull it off.

Have a little tummy? This dress is for you.
I didn't expect to love this dress as much as I did, but one of my friends put it this way : "if I looked that good in a dress, I'd never take it off." First, I rented both a large and a medium. I honestly couldn't much tell which was which (and they weren't labeled). Fairly sure I wore the medium as it felt a bit tighter. What's excellent about this dress is that it's almost Spanx-like! It's so fitting (and stretchy) that it really holds everything in. I have a little pooch and you really couldn't see it at all (I WAS wearing Spanx as well, underneath, but the dress definitely helped keep everything in place). I had a few compliments about the "cute cut outs" - but they're not cut outs at all! They're just flesh colored parts of the dress. The dress is fairly thick and heavy, so perfect for a winter black tie event. Rent this, you won't regret it!

GREAT fit...blah color.
This is absolutely the most comfortable dress I've ever rented from this site. The fit was fantastic - comfortable, hid my problem spots (stomach). There was not one spot that was uncomfortable or made me feel like I had to suck in. I could go bra-less, as well. The entire skirt has a kind of tulle lace under it (it's not just stitched onto the bottom), which I didn't realize or I might not have rented it - but I still liked the fit. So what went wrong? The color. I am pasty, pale white, and this color looked terrible on me. If you are not a pasty white lady, this may look great on you!

Great dress, a little tight.
I am 5'4, about 160, and could fit into this dress...but it was a tight squeeze for sure. The 12 was way too big in the bust and looked awful, the 10 wasn't particularly comfortable, but not painful. I didn't need to wear a bra, that's for sure. Still, I liked the way it looked on me, especially because I have flat abs (of which will be VERY pronounced in this dress for you) and a small bit of a stomach pooch, which I like to hide and this dress did that for sure. Easy dress to get into, it's got a fun little hole cutout in the center of the back. Great for a wedding.

SO tiny!
This is an absolutely gorgeous dress. Unfortunately, I couldn't wear it. I've rented many, many dresses from this site and am pretty much always a 10 or an 8 - sometimes a 6, sometimes a 12. The 10R was not even remotely close to fitting me. I do have a large rib cage, and not only would it not zip, but the chest was HUGE - so even if it had fit, I would have needed to use quite a lot of fashion tape. And, regardless of the "R" sizing, at 5'4 this was so long that it dragged on the ground. Meant for more model-like proportions. If you've got them, go for it - but if not, I'd avoid.

Great LBD!
First off, this dress is perfect if you're going somewhere that you want to eat a lot - the empire waistline won't show any bumps or stomach and you can chow down as much as you want. I did not need Spanx at all. The fit is also very flattering, and the dress overall is very cute. The only thing I didn't like is when I wore a coat over it, without the top (and just seeing the bottom portion of the dress), it does look a bit frumpy. Keep that in mind if you'll be wearing this in cooler weather with some sort of jacket. The bust does run a bit large, but not so large that you'll need fashion tape - just a minor annoyance on an otherwise very nice dress.

Cute dress if you don't want to go form fitting!
If you're not looking to go form fitting, this is an excellent choice. That being said, as with all non-form fitting dresses, there is a couple things to take into consideration. One, you may be able to size down. I'm typically a 10 because I have a very large ribcage (and that's where many dresses I rent are the tightest) but this one I could have done an 8 or maybe even a 6. Two, I've got a smaller chest, and I basically looked flat-chested in this dress. It's not quite as sparkly as it looks in the photos, probably because the dress has been well-worn when I got it. Still a cute choice. It fell mid to lower thigh on me, so it would be perfect for a summery wedding. Wherever you're going, make sure it's warm, because the dress isn't!

Cute Dress!
Rented this one for my HS reunion, dressed it down in tights and ankle boots. Very cute! Not really a "wowza" dress, but I did get a few compliments and I felt great. True to size for me, the 10 fit well with a nice snug chest - as a B cup, this may mean it won't work well for you larger girls. Being 5'4 it came a little lower on me than that tall leggy model, but still above the knee. The straps actually have buttons on the front and the back so you can adjust them and even, I think, take them off - I didn't try, but it did seem like the functionality would be there.

Meh.
I rented this for my HS reunion since it looked like a fun little dress. I did read others saying that the dress ran small, and I usually wear a 10 - but the 10 fit just fine, at least in the rib area (where it's tightest). Where the dress really didn't work was twofold. First, the chest area is a sort of stretchy material, made to accommodate larger chests. The problem is that the dress definitely had some larger chests in it previously, which has stretched it out a bit, and I am a B cup, so not that large. It fell sort of wrinkly and unflattering in the chest, and I could literally give a tug on the top and have my own chest exposed. Second, it just wasn't flattering - especially the sleeves. I looked like a German beer garden wench with the flowers, not in the sexy way either. Really cute on the model, but didn't work for me.

Sadly, too long.
This dress was stunning in regards to color, but alas, it is clearly meant for tall leggy skinny ladies. I am pear shaped, with a larger rib cage, but I am also 5'4. The 10R took a little wiggling to get on - once on it was incredibly flattering, but I did end up feeling that sort of queasy feeling you get when you're wearing something too tight. It was WAY WAY too long. I was wearing 6 inch heels and the dress was STILL too long. I eventually took off my shoes, and felt like I was in danger of slipping on the dress all night. But if you're tall and skinny, this is a great dress for you - beautiful!

I am 5'4, 135 pounds, 24% body fat, 29 waist, and the 10 was too big, the 8 was a nice size but I definitely could have gone to a 6. This dress wowed everyone I showed the online picture to, but when it came time to wear it, it fell flat. "Middle school dance" was the proclamation from my fiance, and when I showed the front desk (I was staying at a hotel for a wedding) they called it "prom dress-like". Not what I was going for! Not to mention, the dress was entirely too long and I was stepping on it, AND there's a train in the back.

As mentioned by other reviews, this dress is a little lighter color than it appears to be on the screen, but it's still a show stopper in terms of sexy. As a 34 B it made my chest look ENORMOUS! I am 5'4, 135 pounds, 24% body fat, 29 waist and I ordered a 2 which fit but was a little snug. I think the 3 was more my size as it would have been more "drapy" as this dress is meant to be. I did order a 3 as my backup size...but someone ruined it right before I was to wear it! And I can see why. No zippers, no buttons, you just pull it on, and it's the kind of dress you need to realize if it's too small for you BEFORE it's on your body. Also, the piece that goes around your head (it's that twisted circle going around the neck) is really, really small - I had to really yank it down, so if you've got a hair style that won't tolerate yanking, do it after you've got the dress on. I wore this to a semi-casual fall wedding and really liked it.

This was a really odd-fitting dress. My first size, the chest fit great (36B) but it was incredibly tight in the waist (38.5 hips, 30.5 waist). The second dress...perfect fitting in the waist, HUGE and ridiculously drapey in the chest area. Neither of them looked right. Which was fine...the style seemed a little old-fashioned. My husband called it a "grandma dress".

WOW! This has been my absolute favorite dress I've rented - I'm even looking into buying it. Wore it to a wedding and got a ton of compliments. Hides any tummy pooches or big legs very very well. I'm a B cup and didn't need a bra, but could have used some fashion tape. It was a little long at 5'4 with a mini train, but I didn't have a problem with it. Just overall fantastic - I can't say enough about this dress!

For such a pricey dress, I was expecting a lot more. I felt the dress ran pretty large. The biggest problem was the shoulder straps - they were practically falling off my shoulders and I looked like a little kid wearing Mom's dress. Not recommended unless you have broad shoulders. I thought the color was pretty dull, too.

These babies are huge! They hung down to my shoulders. They were absolutely beautiful, but since they were so big they hurt my ears and I had to take them off halfway through.
I got the opportunity to rent this dress when one of my other rented dresses was suddenly unavailable. RTR allowed me to rent any other dress - regardless of price. KUDOS to this policy. Unfortunately, I only got one size, so I had to pick right... I am 5'4, 135 pounds, 24% body fat, 29 waist - aka a normal, healthy weight, but NOT petite. I normally go with an 8, but all the reviews suggested to go a size down, so I went with a 6. Big mistake - my ribcage was too big! Can't really suck in a ribcage. This dress is meant for petite women with a smaller chest. I am a B34 and it would have been perfect had it fit. Not to say larger built women can't wear it, but you'll want to order your normal size + a size up. If you've got a little stomach pooch, this dress will hide it since it's drapy and not huggy. That being said, you will not regret renting this dress. It is BEAUTIFUL and classy and I was dying that I couldn't wear it. Worth every penny.

This is a soft bracelet, not a hard bangle. It's pretty, but the clasp in the back is really chunky and obvious, and it looks a little cheap as well. Very comfortable to wear, though.

I was actually pretty disappointed in this dress. First, I am pale - and if you're pale, this is not the dress for you. It looks like you're naked. Second, at only 5'4, the length of the dress was inappropriate. The front came to my ankles, and the picture has it just under the knee. It looked like a nightgown on me. But, easy to get into and very flowing and probably flattering on the right person.
