Perfect for a fall wedding!
Such a nice, different style dress! Wore to a wedding and received so many compliments on how well it looked on me and fit my figure. I tried this dress in both a L & XL and the XL fit best around my chest and midsection.

Beautiful Dress
I wore this dress a friend's wedding and it was a hit! The color was gorgeous and had a subtle sparkle that really made it look great. The small cut outs on the side and back are flirty but refined-really nice! The long, fuller skirt was also very flattering on my postpartum midsection. I received a lot of compliments! I only found a couple cons with this dress. First, the waistband really has no give, so it was a little tight once I had the dress on. Also, the length of this dress in the long size is JUST long enough to wear flats being 5'11". It worked out okay as I wore a flat sandal, but anything with a heel would have made the dress look awkwardly short. Lastly, the fabric is pretty thick so it was warm under the skirt once I started dancing. Not a huge deal but may be a better option for a cooler event ;)

Beautiful Dress
This dress was gorgeous-flowy, long and beautiful color. I received so many compliments! It was a tad too long, however, which was surprising to me considering I am 5'11", haha! I had to wear 3" heels and the dress just hit the floor. The dress also has a high slit in the fabric that can't be seen in pictures-if the right gust of wind happened to come, it could easily expose someone. I ended up using small safety pin to close the slit lower down my leg, which helped a lot. Besides that, it was comfortable and flattered all of the right areas being a few months postpartum. Despite my minor quips, overall the dress was great and is perfect for a nice occasion!

Perfect for a fall wedding
This dress was a last minute back-up for another rental that didn't work out and it couldn't have been better! The deep purple color and long sleeves were nice and perfect for a fall wedding. I am usually a size 6 in dresses, but went with the 8 because it fit a bit better in the hips and eliminated the look of a pooch from bunching fabric in the stomach area. The material was great - not too thin, not too thick. I was very comfortable all night, even while dancing.

Sexy & Flattering Dress!
Wore this dress out one night while in Vegas - it was a hit! I would love to own this dress! Pros: Very flattering, holds everything in, long enough for a tall person like me (5'11") and I didn't have to constantly pull it down. The lower cut of the dress up top was great - I was able to wear a normal bra and it was tight enough to boost up what I don't really have ;) Cons: The dress is super difficult to get on and take off (thick, tight material that you have to pull over your head). Just make sure to style your hair and do your makeup after you get the dress on - otherwise it will get messed up.

Amazing Dress!
I didn't want to return this dress! I wore it for a summer wedding and it was a hit - I've never received so many compliments before! The material is light and flowy and complimented my figure very well. I am 5'11" and with 3" heels, this dress was still long enough for me. I was also able to wear the dress without a bra, which was nice. I normally wear a size 6 in dresses, but found it a little tight and difficult to zip up the back. The size 8 fit perfect, so was happy that I sized up for my back-up. Overall, another amazing dress and experience!

Unflattering Bottom Half
I returned this dress in exchange for another. The main reason for my return was due to the unflattering fit of the bottom half of the dress. I ordered sizes 8 and 10 - the 10 was too big and while the top on the size 8 fit nicely and was flattering, the bottom was not. With with the pockets on the hips and the lace loose around the stomach, it made me look wide and like I had a baby bump, which I don't have. Despite the dress not working out, RTR customer service was great and able to send me an alternate choice overnight, which worked out perfect.

Classy & Fun!
After returning my first dress pick for not fitting well, I chose this dress as my back-up - and am so happy I did! I wore this dress to a wedding over St. Patrick's Day weekend. The green color was perfect and stood out in the crowd! I ordered sizes 6 and 8 and ended up going with the 6. The dress fit like a glove, it was very comfortable and flattering at the same time, and the pockets were a nice bonus! I loved that I could wear a normal bra and underwear :) The length was also perfect - I am tall and sometimes have difficulty with how short dresses are, but this one was just right. Loved everything about it!

Perfect!
I rented this dress for a day of two weddings (ceremony for one, reception for the other). It was perfect! I got so many compliments and felt beautiful in this dress! As others have mentioned, the zipper is a little difficult to get up and I had to have my boyfriend assist. I am tall (5'11") and this dress was just right for length - it came just above my knees. The top was very flattering and I was able to wear the dress with a normal bra with straps and no shapewear! Very comfortable. I did not order an alternate size, as I read reviews of others with similar body type and size and luckily it was just right. I am normally a size 6 or 8 so was a little nervous, but the dress came a day before it was scheduled to so it gave me time to try on and make sure. Definitely will be using RTR again for future dress needs!
