Super Glamorous!

Love the color on this dress -- perfect deep emerald. Has a beautiful sparkle that photographs really well! You need to have the right occasion to wear this one. Ran a bit big, I would size down for your back up so you can choose -- the fabric has a decent amount of stretch considering all the sparkle. Only thing I didn't like is I felt like it made me look wider than I am. The black belt part hit at my natural waist, but for some reason it added some poundage!

Total Princess Dress!

As soon as I slipped this on, I felt like I was in a movie -- such a gorgeous, flowy dress. I would wear this everywhere if it was appropriate! I will say, personally I don't think this should be worn to a wedding -- it is not that far off from some bridal gowns and while it is blush, it is very very light in color. Could steal their thunder! One con -- you cannot lift your arms past your shoulder, but this dress is worth it. Also, plan to take the time to steam each layer. It will arrive quite crumpled, but with a little tlc, it looks perfect. Runs small -- go one size up for this dress. I rented the 4R and 6R and barely noticed a difference between the two so I went with the larger size. Also isn't SUPER long. I am 5'5 and could wear 2 inch heels max. If you are looking for higher shoes, get the long (personally I like being able to wear flats because with all the tulle, no one could tell!)

Perfection!

Love, love, LOVE this dress so much. I think it is my favorite dress I have ever rented. I have rented Nha Khanh before and was also obsessed with that beauty... This one somehow tops it! This dress runs true to size in terms of number -- tight through the hips and thighs but then flares out. Has a bit of a stretch. HOWEVER... It is VERY short (which is why I took off a star). I am average height (5'5) and even without shoes on this barely touched the ground. I ended up not being able to wear shoes at all because they showed no matter what. So if you are 5'4 or up, I would definitely recommend getting long in this one. Also, plan to take the time to steam or fluff out all the layers to really see the beauty of the dress.

LBD with a Sexy Twist

Cannot say enough about this dress -- it is super flattering and a little sexy. Love the lace paired with the classic LBD style. A bit low in the front, so be careful where you plan to wear this one. I have rented A LOT of Reem Acra dresses and found that they are almost always a bit smaller -- this dress is an exception to that rule! Size down, I normally am a 4 in Reem Acra but wore the size 2 in this one. Tightest in the hips -- loosens up throughout the thighs.

Beautiful without overdoing it!

This is a gorgeous bracelet! A bit bigger than I would normally wear, but was included for free so I took advantage of it. Would save this one for a more formal dress/occasion. Has a good clasp that makes the bracelet feel tight and secure -- no fear of losing it!

Perfect Size!

In the past, I rented some earrings from RTR without seeing them in a picture and they were HUGE -- I was very disappointed and vowed not to rent jewelry again. Well I found these feather earrings for my Halloween costume and they couldn't have been more perfect so I took the plunge. Turns out they are fantastic! They were the perfect size -- about 1.5-2 inches long, but slim, so not to overwhelm your face/outfit. Definitely rent these!

Good for Halloween, but wouldn't wear for an event

I really liked this dress on the model; unfortunately in real life it is one of the least flattering RTR dresses I have worn. The flowy bust area adds a TON of volume, doubling you in size. So while this was the perfect dress to wear to look like a grecian goddess for Halloween, I'm not sure I would ever wear it for an event. Fit was true to size -- I wore the 2R and the length was perfect for 5'5". I also wanted to note that there are different versions of this dress! I got the 0R and 2R and if you look in my second picture, you will notice that the sequins are completely different. The 2R is much more gold gold which I liked -- the other is a pale gold.

Great dress!

I didn't end up wearing this one as it was my backup, but it is very pretty! I went with the yellow version as it was summer, but I am hoping to get my hands on the blue one for a winter event. Runs small, sleeves will not stay up. Hits at a strange/unflattering spot on your legs.

Be prepared to get lots of compliments on this dress!

There is no doubt this is a gorgeous lace dress! However, after this being my 5-6th rental from RTR, I can definitely say it is not my favorite. The fit all together isn't very flattering. The waist sits high and it hits at a weird spot on your legs (I'm average -- 5'5). The dress definitely runs small, so take one size up. As others have mentioned, the sleeves won't stay on your shoulders, so be prepared to use some sort of fashion tape for these -- it helps a ton! The biggest disappointment though, was the condition the dress arrived in. The shoulders of the dress looked like they were about to rip off at any minute! My backup size was too small, so I had to wear this one. It definitely needs a little fixing up. Overall, very very pretty! No one else seemed to notice the little flaws, as I got stopped by SO many strangers to ask about this dress, I felt like a walking advertisement for RTR :)

Pure class and elegance!

I'm becoming a RTR regular and I have to say I love every dress more than the last! Isn't that the point :) This dress ran true to size with one exception -- length. I ordered a 4R and 2L because my true size, a 2R, wasn't available. They arrived and the "regular" wasn't any shorter than the "long", which worked out perfect for me! So if you are on the taller size, definitely get a long but don't expect too much as I'm only 5'5 and it fit perfect. Size up if you are larger in the waist, it is tighter there than anywhere else. The quality was just stunning. The lace back was to die for -- I had to wear my hair up to show it off! The one bad thing was the dress was a little "worn" looking at the bottom. You could tell it had been used a few times as there were minor tears and a somewhat darker hem from rubbing on the ground. This wasn't noticeable to anyone but me of course, so don't let this hold you back... I would rent this again in a heartbeat!

This dress was a dream!

I feel like every time I rent from RTR, I am always saying, "this dress is my favorite yet!" -- but isn't that the greatest part of RTR, that you constantly get new dresses and always get to have a new favorite!?! This is my 4th rental and I'll never get sick of that feeling :) Thank you RTR! As for fit, I chose the smaller of the two sizes. I think the top of the dress is a little bigger than the bottom -- So if you are larger on the bottom, you may want to size up as the lining might be tight on the thighs. Just such a gorgeous dress, it looks exactly like the picture in terms of color and shape. Very elegant.

Sweet and sexy at the same time!

LOVED this dress! It's SUPER form fitting, so you definitely need to be confident or invest in some spanx. It isn't all that revealing otherwise -- the skirt hit a couple inches above the knee and the top covered the girls for the most part. I have found that I normally size down on RTR, however, this dress was an exception. If you want to be able to breathe and not bust out get your regular size or even size up! But either way, find a place to wear this!

Best dress EVER!

Hands down, my favorite dress ever. Perfect mix of formal yet flirty.... The skirt sort of puffs out at the bottom and therefore hides and "problem areas" you may have -- perfect for girls with small waist and larger hips because it isn't form fitting at the bottom. I am usually a size 2, but sized down in this one to a 0 due to this. Wear some nude heels to make your legs look like they go for miles!! Keep your accessories simple and put your hair up to really accentuate the beauty put in to making this lace dress.

Classic + Elegant!

Other reviews said the dress ran small, so I sized up. However I would disagree, I think sizing up made the dress *slightly* big and I wish I had stuck w/ my regular size. This dress is phenomenal. So flattering -- hides any problem areas while accentuating the "good" areas! It is a little low cut but fashion tape kept everything in place. I'm only 5'5, so the dress was a tiny bit long, but you will be okay as long as you wear 3-4 inch heels. Hands down the best dress I have ever rented, I was extremely sad to send this one back.

Incredibly sexy color and cut!

This dress was originally supposed to be my back up, but it arrived and I knew I had to find an excuse to wear it! My hubby took me out for a fancy dinner and this dress was absolute perfection for the occasion. It hugs in all the right places and the color is such a vibrant red. I wish I could've kept this dress! Regarding size, I felt like it was a tiny bit big in the waist while being a little snug in the bust. I went with the smaller size and just didn't button up the built in bra the whole way. Regardless... RENT THIS DRESS!!

Great at the top, strange around the legs

I put this on and originally loved it... until I looked down! The slit area was a little to snug and I basically had one leg covered and one exposed, but not in a sexy way. I didn't end up wearing it due to this, but it is a great dress if you need to travel because it arrived with zero wrinkles!

Too large!!

Unfortunately I was not a fan of these earrings. They were extremely large and heavy and were overall just too much for a casual summer wedding. Sadly I didn't get to wear them with the gorgeous Yumi Kim dress I rented.

This was my first RTR dress but it will not be my last! RTR made it so easy to rent & return.

I am absolutely in love with this dress! It is perfect for any summer/outdoor wedding. Light and airy, yet still fancy. I would recommend using a different belt, but other than that it was perfection. Be prepared -- you will get compliments in this dress :) For fit, I am 5'5 and this hit right below my knee. If you would like the bust to be tighter, size down. If you'd like it a little more flowy (like the model) than get your regular size.
