This dress was a great wedding guest dress! I am 5’6” and 150 lbs and the XL fit fine. I could’ve sized down but there wasn’t a smaller size available. I wore it with 3” pumps and didn’t feel that it was too long. As for the sleeves, they are longer but I pushed them up and they looked fine given the ruching on the rest of the dress. I chose to wear Spanx underneath to smooth everything out, but you wouldn’t have to if you didn’t want to.

This dress is gorgeous! I am a size 6 so I assumed I would need a medium, but the small actually looked better. I am a bit on the busty side and it wasn't too much for a beach wedding, but you may need to have a cami underneath if the wedding is more traditional. I styled the dress with camel colored heeled sandals, blue Kendra Scott earrings, and an orange clutch from Tory Burch. I would definitely recommend it for an upcoming summer event!

This dress was gorgeous! I rented it for a spring black tie optional wedding. The dress is lighter weight so I was comfortable temperature wise even in Florida heat. The top of the dress was super super tight. I have 32 DD bust and the 6 was really tight. I was able to zip it and wear it, but it definitely wasn't comfortable. I would recommend sizing up if you have a larger chest, or going without a bra, which I opted not to do because I am always afraid of a potential mishap. Overall, I had so many compliments throughout the evening, and would recommend it to anyone with a smaller bust!

I rented this dress for a fall bachelorette party. The dress is form fitting and a nice weight for cooler weather. The only reason I didn't give the dress five stars is that the sides on the dress scoop down lower showing your strapless bra, but I am sure if you have a smaller bust and can go without a bra it wouldn't be a problem. I styled the dress with black tights, black suede pumps, and Kendra Scott's Danielle earrings in Burgundy. I also carried the Loeffler Randall leopard clutch to help the all black pop a bit.

This dress was the perfect choice for an outdoor engagement party. Because I live in the South and it's so hot, i wanted to make sure that I had a dress that was light weight and would not show any sweat, heaven forbid I did sweat. This dress totally fit that requirement. I wore a regular strapless bra and accessorized the dress with a simple gold bracelet and beige sandal heels. I would definitely recommend this on trend piece to anyone!

I rented this dress for a spring work event, and received tons of compliments! When I first got the dress, I was concerned about the cleavage for a work occasion. Even though the dress has a snap, it's set lower, which is the perfect placement for an event where you can show a bit of skin, but obviously not at work. I opted to wear the larger size so that I had a bit more fabric to play with, and I was able to not use the clasp, pull the dress across, and secure it with a safety pin. I accessorized the dress with beige sandal heels and Kendra Scott Elle earrings in periwinkle.

This dress was lovely! Although the 4 was a better fit, I am usually a 6 but to me Kate Spade always runs big, it came with a stain on it so I could not wear it. I called RTR, who is always fabulous and helpful, and they offered to send me a new one. Given the theme of the wedding, I decided just to wear the 6, which was not too big, but I think you can tell in photo that it is a bit loose. I was able to wear a normal strapless bra, and accessorized the dress with Mystery Bling from RTR, which turned out to be a lovely pair of Kate Spade earrings, and beige sandal heels. I would recommend this dress to anyone who is looking for a more modest but definitely sassy look!

I got this jumpsuit for my bachelorette party from RTR because the original one I rented was not available. This jumpsuit was fabulous though. I will say that it was a bit tight around the bust, but I chose to wear the 6 instead of the 8 to have a better fit in the waist. I accessorized the jumpsuit with nude heels and a long necklace.

This dress was perfect for an annual holiday event my office throws. The dress is sexy without being too much, as it is not too short and doesn't really reveal your bust. I did purchase the bra extender from RTR and then pinned it to the back of the dress for extra security. I paired the dress with diamond studs, black tights and heels. I had people coming up to me the entire evening telling me that I was by far best dressed!

This dress was fantastic! The shape of the dress allowed me to wear it sans Spanx and feel free to dance the night away. It was the perfect blend of classy and flirty. In person, the dress is a bit more of a citron color, but is not as neon as it appears in some photos. I styled the dress with nude heeled sandals and turquoise Kendra Scott earrings.

This dress was stunning! I wore it to a work event so I needed something that was a bit more modest. I ended up wearing the 6 because the 4 was a bit tight on my chest. The dress was incredibly comfortable and very beautiful in person. I do not think the photo of the model does it it's true justice. The silver threading in the fabric really adds a lot to the dress. I paired it with nude high heeled sandals and simple diamond earrings. I think this would be the perfect dress for a situation when you want to be covered up, but still wear a show stopping dress!

This dress is incredible! I rented this for both my work holiday party and my boyfriend's work holiday party. I loved being able to feel fabulous but still covered up at my work party, and then being able to jet to my boyfriend's music industry party and feel sexy and hip. The dress fit perfectly. The fabric is stretchy and fit snuggly instead of overly tight. The sparkle in the fabric totally elevates the dress from your average LBD. I paired the dress with diamond studs, black tights, and black heels with a bold red lip. This is one of the best dresses I have ever rented from RTR since I joined in 2011!

The dress is a gorgeous color and the fabric is a nice weight for cooler weather. The dress was a bit short waisted in the torso, but I also have a longer torso so I am used to this. My shoulders were also not broad enough to make the back detail lay correctly. Overall, I was just underwhelmed. In terms of styling, I was going to a Broadway show so I paired the dress with black tights and patent black pumps.

My dissatisfaction with this dress was probably my own fault for not closely reading the reviews and fabric details. I think I thought the dress was going to stretch more than it did, but it's made from a stiffer fabric. After trying on both the 6 and the 8, I went with the 8 for length. As a result, the dress was too big around the waist. It also had the tendency to creep up so I spent the majority of the evening pulling it down. Despite all of this, I received a ton of compliments on the dress. I paired it with nude sandal heels and jade green Kendra Scott earrings.

I wore this dress to a formal event for work. The dress was comfortable and flattering. I am a bit busty and was not expecting to show as much cleavage as I did. (The event included donors and community partners of the non-profit I work for and I was afraid it might be too much.) However, I had a ton of compliments on the dress, including my boss! I paired the dress with topaz-colored Kate Spade drop earrings and nude heels.

This necklace is definitely a showstopper! It is definitely a statement piece, but not so overwhelming, as I did not want to wear anything that would draw too much attention to me. I would have given the necklace five stars, but when I received it, one of the stones was missing. I called RTR, who was super apologetic, to let them know and they offered to send me a new one. I was nervous that it would not arrive in time so I opted to glue to stone back in and wear it as is. It totally worked! I had a ton of compliments on the necklace and wish I could have kept it!

This dress was for a more formal night of a bachelorette party. This dress is very flattering, but I wore Spanx just to smooth everything out. I wore a nude colored bra that was close to my skin tone and you could hardly see it through the lace. The dress was a bit short, but overall a winner!

The fit was amazing! Herve really does hug your shape in the best possible way. I did wear Spanx just to help smooth out some of my lines and problem areas. I only gave this four stars because we went out dancing and I spent a good portion of the evening tugging the dress up and pulling it down. Either way, I loved it! I paired it with nude heels and the House of Harlow geometric necklace that other people recommended.

I loved wearing this dress! I did like the length and close fit in the bodice of the 6, however, the one shoulder ended up cutting into my underarm area in an unflattering way causing me to go with the 8. The yellow is also more of a primary yellow than a sunny yellow. I accessorized the dress with a metallic strappy shoe, drop earrings, and a tomato red clutch. I would definitely recommend this dress for a formal occasion where you need to be more dressy rather than sexy.

This dress was awesome! I wore this dress to my boyfriend's fraternity formal with silver accessories, and I had a ton of compliments. Not to mention that this was a very comfortable dress. I am typically a size 6 or 8 depending on how large the bust of the dress is cut, but the 6 fit like a glove :)

This dress was a huge hit at my boyfriend's fraternity formal. I am usually a 6, but I had to go with the 8 because the bust was so tiny. It still was a little tight, but the compliments were worth it!
