All the sparkle!
I wore this to a concert and dinner date at the casino. Both sizes fit I went with the medium. I loved the dress though my hair stick to the sequins a bit and the arm sometimes bunched up a little. Perhaps because I sized up a little to the medium.

Fun and flattering!
I wore this to a gala. Both sizes worked I (think) I ended up wearing the medium because the sleeves were more comfortable. I read reviews about hair getting stuck to the sequins and wore my long hair down anyway. It wasn't that big of s deal. I found this dress to be very slimming.

Fun comfortable dress. The cutouts were barely visible.
Cute dress fun and comfortable for a bachelorette party in winter. The cutout wasn't really visible but I have a short torso.

Super fun dress and comfortable!
Medium was the only size available so I was a little nervous about not getting a small but it fit like a glove. I tend to wear M in lots of RTR styles so I took a gamble. The material is thick but I was comfortable at a hot summer wedding. Easy to move sit and dance in. Lots of compliments.

Compliments all night long
I was worried it might be "too young" for a wife and mother in her mid-30's, but after eyeing this dress for month I went for it and rented this dress for a wedding in a barn. I LOVED it! It was even better than in the pictures. I felt like it needed a little something to break up the lace, so I added a belt. Both the 6 and 8 fit. The 8 was a little big in certain places, so I went with the 6. I probably could have gone down two a 4 for a tighter fit in the waist, though it may have been too short. I have a short torso and very long legs. Next time I rent this dress I will try the 4 and 6. It was very comfortable and fun to dance in. People of all ages were complimenting me all night long. My only complaint is that when I stood up I needed to reposition the tule a bit. Luckily the night was spent mingling and dancing so that wasn't a problem. This would be a great dress for an engagement photos or a wedding, but could be dressed down for a nicer shower, garden party or the derby.

Comfortable dress easy to move and dance in perfect for a gala.
The dress fit well and I got many compliments. Unfortunately the size that I ended up wearing was extremely faded. The dress was still gorgeous but the color of the dress I wore was completely different from the smaller size. The intended color was so vibrant. The dress I wore looked like it had been around the block a few too many times and some of the edges were fraying more than intended. I still felt beautiful and really wouldn't have minded the color had I not seen how fabulous it is supposed to look.

Favorite RTR dress to date!
I love love loved wearing this dress. The only con was the zipper which gets stuck where the fabric connects. Make sure you have someone to zip you in. I felt very sexy in this dress. Loved the cutout which is not always visible. A bra is not needed but I wore one because I went up a size. Seamless underwear is a must. I could have worn the 6 or the 8 but went with the 8 because I wore this to a show at a casino and thought I'd be more comfortable sitting at length in the pencil skirt if it was looser. I wish I took more pictures of this dress. I will absolutely rent this one again.

Fun dress with pockets!
The dress was fun and flattering. I wish I had time to buy bright shoes to add a pop of color. It was a tad tight in the ribcage, so I went up a size. I would have given it a 4, but there were several small circular holes in the straps in the front of the 8. The material was interesting, I didn't have issues with it making a swishing sound as other reviewers reported. The pockets were a huge bonus. I wore a strapless bra but could have gone without one.

Fun dress as long as you don't mind showing a lot of leg!
I felt very sexy in this dress. It was perfect for date night at the casino. I expected it to run short and it did. I'm only 5'3 and I definitely had to keep pulling it down, especially after sitting. I love short dresses, but don't think I would have worn this one to a wedding or gala because of the length, but I would rent it again for the right occasion. I actually liked the shoulder pads. As usual I was sad to send it back.

Tons of compliments! Loved the back!
I loved this dress! Very classy! I felt that it ran small in the chest. I have an athletic build with a big rib age and a broad back. Between my back and my boobs the 4 just wasn't happening if I wanted to sit and eat comfortably, but the 6 fit well. I'd be curious to try an 8 so I could wear a bra. Will rent this dress again. Didn't want to send it back.

Made me feel sexy!
This dress made this mother of two feel very sexy. I am usually a medium or small. The medium was way too loose and needed to be belted. It looked cute with the belt, but was too casual for this event. The small was very comfortable but I wish the slip was an inch or two longer- it rode up when sitting. I tried the medium slip on under the small dress, but it was much longer and the lace detailing was lost with the longer slip, so I wore the small slip and small dress. It felt very short when I was sitting, but was perfect for standing and dancing. I got tons of compliments. The neckline on the small a different color due to fading, but it looked like it was supposed to be that way. I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't comparing it to the medium which was in. Perfect condition. I hope to rent this dress again. I usually wear a small/medium sized 2-6 depending on the designer.
