Tons of compliments!
I've rented quite a few dresses from RTR. I think this dress received the most compliments so far. It's very unique and pretty. The pockets are a nice bonus. I'd definitely recommend this one.

Very unique and pretty - would recommend.
I loved how classy, unique, and ornate this dress is. The colors are beautiful. The lace is surprisingly NOT irritating. The only cons, which are not major, are that you cannot wear this with a normal bra (I used stick-ons), and the cap sleeves are a bit restrictive for lifting your arms up fully. Overall I would recommend it.

Great dress for winter holiday party
I really liked this dress. It's pretty, comfortable, and good for wearing in the winter. The lace is soft, which is very important to me. It was a bit shorter than I expected (I'm 5'8"), but I did end up wearing it, and I was happy with it all night.

Comfortable and colorful, but runs small.
I wore this to a baby shower. I loved how soft and comfortable the fabric is, and the color is gorgeous. I felt very pretty in this dress. My only complaint is that this does run small. I typically wear a size 4 in dresses, but I saw everyone's warnings that it runs small, so I rented the size 6 and 8. The 6 fit better in the body, but would have been too short to sit comfortably. I ended up wearing the size 8 because I needed the extra length. Great dress though!

Pretty but scratchy
I did not end up wearing this dress because the neckline/chest was scratchy. What you can't see from the picture is that this is a two part dress - an underneath slip and the top sheer dress. The slip does not cover the neck/chest area and all the embroidery would have really bothered me.

Classy and comfortable
I wore this to a holiday party, for which it was perfect. It is very comfortable, and the lace is not at all scratchy. The color is beautiful. There are always some issues with wrap dresses staying in place across the bust, so I used a little bit of fashion tape and that worked well. This dress does run small. I usually wear a 4, bit I felt the 6 had more fabric to overlap and looked better.

Fun print, ok fit.
I really like this pattern - it's very unique. It's a very comfortable dress and works with a regular bra. This dress fit alright, but not like a glove. It was a bit loose overall, particularly the mid-section. It fit across my butt however, so I doubt the size 2 would have worked (although I did not have the size 2 to try on.)

So tight!
I did not end up wearing this dress. I usually wear a 4 or maybe a 6, but I think I would have needed an 8 in this dress. I could zip the 6 up, but the tightness caused the whole thing to creep up. The combination of the slit and cut out and the tightness just didn't look classy.

Fantastic dress!
I have never received so many compliments in one night! I think this dress is sexy but also very classy. I did a lot of dancing and it was very comfortable. It does run large, so make sure your back-up is a size smaller than you'd normally consider. I'm usually either a 4 or a 6, but I wore a 2 in this dress.

Sexy and Classy
I liked the shape and the design of this dress. It was great for a winter holiday party. If I had been one of the first people to wear it, I may have given it 5 stars. My one complaint is that it was showing it's wear - some beads were missing/cracked, the lace was torn in a couple places, and the hem was a mess that would not lay flat. I do not think others saw this level of detail, however.

Too Large to Wear
I did not end up wearing these earrings because they were so large. They were quite heavy as well. The positioning of the post made it so that the top crystal actually stuck up in front of the hole of my ear, which felt strange.

Fun colors, comfortable dress.
I wore this cotton dress to a somewhat casual outdoor summer wedding. The colors are so pretty and vibrant. The cut of the dress is easy to fit. In dresses with a full skirt, I typically wear a size 4, which is the size that fit with this dress. The back is open very wide, but it can be worn with a regular bra if you safety pin the bra straps to the dress. The only reason I'm giving this a "4" out of 5 stars is because this particular dress was starting to show some wear, and had many little loose threads in the fabric. I doubt others noticed this.

Oddly Cut Dress Didn't Fit
The cut of this dress was very odd, regardless of the size. The bust was very tight and flattening. The fabric across the rib cage, right below the bust, gaped where it should have fit tightly. The waist band was much too large as well so it drooped in the back. I also found the shirt to be a bit too voluminous, and it actually added heft. I did not end up wearing this dress.

Beautiful dress and a great fit!
This dress is very comfortable and has a flattering silhouette. I typically wear a 4 or a 6, and the 6 definitely fit better across my hips. It can be worn with a regular bra, which is a huge plus. I wore it for a summer wedding, and at first I was worried that green and black color made it look wintery. Others at the wedding thought it looked fine for summer however. The green layer is indeed very shimmery, but I think the black lace covers it sufficiently to make it not look tacky. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Loved this dress!
This dress is fun and flirty. The cut shoulders are a nice detail. Both the 4 and 6 fit, but I ultimately went this with tighter fit. This dress definitely emphasizes your stomach, so spanx are a must.

Fun dress that really stands out!
I was pleasantly surprised that this dress fit so well. Most sheath dresses are too tight across the hip/butt area on me, but this fit perfectly. I added the black belt to to define the waist a bit more.
