Striking dress, perfect for black tie
This dress is great. The fabric is shinier/sparklier in person; in a great way. The dress definitely stands out. I got the 16 and the 18, and I'm normally an 18+. The 18 fit well, except it was slightly large in the bust and arm/shoulder area (something that has never happened to me as I have a very large chest). It wasn't too big, though, just a little roomy. I think the waist area would have been more flattering up about an inch, but overall it was a good choice for me as a tall and large-chested black-tie wedding guest.

Stunning dress, beautiful pattern
This dress was absolutely gorgeous. It has a fairy-tale shape, but with a modern pattern and design elements. I wish I could have worn it - it was a smidge small for me. But, I'm between an 18 and 20 so it's true to size. The chest opening is daring - not for those shy of a good amount of cleavage.

Beautiful, full dress
This is a gorgeous, luxe dress. The volume of the skirt is great. I did not wear it, though - the bust area is not for larger chested ladies. The bust seams are unflattering if you have even a moderate-sized chest.

Gorgeous!
Loved it! The only downside is that all the many prongs snagged the dress. Don't rent if you're wearing a delicate fabric!

I wanted it to work, but unflattering on my body type.
I rented this for an awards ceremony. Sadly, I ended up not wearing it because the gathering at the waist and hips made me look bulkier than I already am. I usually wear a 14, and the size 14 I rented did fit me, it was just unflattering. And at a 14, there are reduced dress options, so unfortunately there weren't any dresses that could replace it available at RTR.
