Gorgeous dress- quality material
You can tell the fine Italian craftsmanship of this dress, the fabric is soft and delicate. It fit perfectly, though wasn't super forgiving- I did not feel overly exposed in the chest, it was the perfect amount of cleavage with the V. I will say the dress came with two holes in the seems. Thankfully the hotel had a sewing kit and I easily closed them from the inside since they were at the seems. A quick fix, not a permanent one. No one could tell though and I received compliments all night. Would definitely wear again!

Loved the dress- just not right for the event
Great dress and so fun and colorful- however, it just wasn't the look I was going for this time. Pretty and would've been fun to dance in. Comfortable and fit well. I'm a 32E and the girls fit just fine. Very comfortable. Maybe next time!

Pretty but too small for chest
Loved this dress and wish there had been enough fabric to cover the girls. I'm large chested, so the dress fit like a glove until my chest, it looks great in the photos but the zipper stopped about 3 inches to go and I needed two more inches of fabric to get around my chest. Sad but such is the large chested girls life! Would've needed a much larger size but then it wouldn't have fit so well in the body. Sad.

Very boxy in me- unflattering
I did not wear this dress as it was not flattering to my body type. It fit just fine, but I have a large chest and a smaller waists so the lapels hind out from my body and made me look gigantic from the front.

Bright and Colorful but Classy
This dress was amazing- got it right as I was about to leave the RTR store. It must've just come out bc it was brand new with tags. The dress fit great, it was form fitting and I wouldn't have been able to wear shapeware had I needed to. I received lots of compliments on this little mama. I typically wear black, but this dress helped me add some color to my rotation! I paired it with a fringe leather jacket for a mountain cocktail wedding welcome party, with nude heels. I had such a good time we forgot to take photos!! This dress is gorgeous and I would love to wear it again!

High quality leather- wish it was mine!
This jacket was gorgeous. You could tell it was really high quality leather, the real deal. I received so many compliments! I rented it for a mountain cocktail attire welcome party for a wedding in aspen and it really fit the bill. There is no liner, so it isn't too hot. Wish I could keep it forever!
Toffee Fringe Leather Jacket

Fun, flattering and formal!
This dress was a winner all the way around. I got the 8L which was great for me, at 5'8" with three inch heels. The ruffles helped hide my large chest while the form fitting gown showed off the rest of good perfectly. The cold shoulder gives the dress a little bit extra to set it apart from other black gowns. I loved wearing this dress and would certainly rent again.

Pretty dress, comfortable, flattering.
I liked this dress a lot, but I ended up going with a more formal option. The slit makes this otherwise bubbly dress sexy and the fit is very flattering. I wish I had another event to wear it to. It was comfortable and light. I am bigger chested and the top fit very well, and was even a bit large on me- which never happens.

Size Worn: 8L
Usual Size: 8

Bust: 32DDD/E
This dress was fun, but I ended up not wearing it. Heavy material.
The dress fit well, I have a larger bust so the size 8 fit everywhere but was quite tight up top, as other reviewers had mentioned. However, a size bigger would have fit oddly in other parts. I liked the dress but I ended up not wearing it. The dress, as did all the dresses that came in that shipment from RTR had an odd smell, maybe from the drycleaning treatment, but the canvas material of the dress really soaked up the smell, it was quite overwhelming chemically smell. The dress looked cute and if I had the time to air it out I might have worn it.

Orange Gobi Dress
Paper Crown
Size Worn: None
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 32DDD/E
Comfortable dress with fun back feature.
Loved wearing this dress. Perfect for busty ladies with smaller waists. I loved how the dress fit. My only complaint is it was quite short. The 8L was not available, but I should have gone with it. I am 5'8" and usually don't need the L so I figured I would be okay- however, it hit my ankles barefoot. I had to wear really elaborate fun shoes to look like the length was intentional, so I pulled it off, but would definitely go for the L next time!

Beautiful Dress, but odd fit.
I loved this dress so much, but I wish the fit was a bit better. I ordered the L because reviews said the black waist band was tight and had no give. I am glad I did. The dress fit great at the waist and was very comfortable. I also have a large bust and was worried about the top not fitting correctly. There actually was lots of room for my bust, however, as the straps were too big at the top-and the dress had gaps on each arm hole. I ended up still wearing the dress because it was a chilly day and I paired with a leather jacket to cover up the gaps.

This dress was pretty, but not as impressive in person.
This dress fit great, but the length was a little different than I was used to. I ended up not wearing it because it was not formal enough in person for the event I had rented it for.

This dress was one of my all time favorites! Comfortable, with coverage but still sexy and fun!
This dress was great! I was able to wear a normal bra, which is always a plus as I have a very large bust (34-E). I struggle with many crop top outfits bc of my bust creating a gap between the bottom of the crop and my tummy, but since this dress is connected with mesh it made a smooth transition and really accentuated my waist. The skirt material is great. I received so many compliments- I would definitely rent again!
