Sexy!
Received soooo many compliments on this dress. It was super hot/humid so do not wear for an outdoor event, but AC event is perfect! It is thick, heavy material. I used a little boob tape but not much. Looooved it!! I felt it was a little snug and in the arms, but overall lovely.

So many compliments
Love the lace and flowers on this dress. It does fit true to size. It would be helpful if fhe waist were fitted. It is just the pattern there. You can wear a backless bra with this dress.

Feelin' fancy!
Received so many compliments on this dress. I was an usherette for a wedding and the bride wanted me to wear this. It matched her color palette well and styles of the bridal party. The dress runs true to size and is comfortable. The lining has some give to it. I wore this with a backless bra I ordered from RTR. Only downside, you cannot wear a heavy peony corsage. We fixed it with a safety pin and material tape.

So comfy and flattering!
I originally rented this for a rehearsal dinner and decided to wear it to church and a bridal brunch instead. I received so many compliments. I rented this because it looked flattering on all the women in their photos, whatever their body type. This dress runs true to size, is comfy, can wear a strapless or backless bra and you don't feel like you have to constantly pull down the sleeves to remain off shoulder. It's is also a very slimming style of a dress.

I caught the bouquet!
I rented this dress and clutch for a wedding (I really did catch the bouquet). It was super comfortable and I felt sexy in it. I thought it was a little short, but apparently not for salsa dancing post wedding. ;) I the bottom inner lining pulled at the dress a little, but other than that, it was comfortable and i felt sexy. Lots of compliments!!! Works well with a curvy body.

Comfortable - dress up or dress down
I rented this designer last month and loved the fit. It's a classy dress still that can be dressed up or down. Paired this with the necklace to dress it up as the wedding wasn't super formal. I did receive a lot of "You look amazing, this dress looks 'hot' on you" compliments. Dress is stretchy and runs true to size.

Classy & Sexy!
I rented a different dress originally, and they emailed me to tell me that it was not received on time or it was damaged. They informed me they were going to send me this dress instead. I was a little hesitant at first, because it is not something I would pick for myself, but it was such a perfect fit and I actually liked it better than the first dress I originally picked out for myself! This dress is very comfortable and it runs true to size. I wore it with a nude backless, strapless sticky bra that I also ordered from RTR (the braza). The dress is super comfortable!

Barnyard wedding!
I wore this for an informal barnyard wedding. It was perfect with a pair of wedges and it was not too long. It can be worn with a strapless bra. I wore a size 8 only because the 6 was a little too small in my waist and I wanted to be comfortable. I received so many compliments on it. It also has pockets which I really liked. Sorry I didn't get a full-length photo

Love the color
I loved wearing this dress. The only bummer part, was there was a stain on it when I received it. However, I still chose to wear it and you can't really see it. Very comfy dress. The lining is all cotton, which also makes it comfortable. Loved the color. Has some stretch to it and is true to size.

Lovely lace (photo bomber not included)
Wore this for a wedding. It was comfortable. I had to wear a size up because my booty was too big for the 8. And due to the up size, it was slightly large in my (lack there of), chest. Loved the color and received many compliments.

Clutch or crossover? That is the question.
I loved the purse because there is an option to use it as a clutch, or to wear as cross body. Easy to carry, fit my phone, little wallet, keys and most importantly, my lip gloss!

Lots of compliments!
This wasn't my favorite dress, but it worked for the night. I loved the purse because there is an option to use it as a clutch, or to wear as cross body. The dress fit my body well, but it bulged in the back where the zipper was. I think the 6 would have been better in my shoulders and arms, but it was too tight in the rear end for me, so I had to go with the 8, I just didn't like how it zipped in the back. Therefore, I left my hair down so you couldn't see the zipper bulge. I did receive a lot of compliments that I looked pretty in it, they loved the color and most of all, everyone loved the little peep-hole at the top! Not bad! :)

Love the lace!
I love this designer but this wasn't my favorite dress that I have worn. However I did like it. Pros: true to size, bottom of dress is stretchy and lace arms are stretch. Not too tight. Cons: dress twisted a lot with spanx worn underneath and there are no cups in the dress. I wore breast cups vs strapless and it wasn't comfortable. I think if there were cups with in the dress it would have fit better. I did like this dress and felt sexy and confident in it, and did receive a lot of compliments. Just not my all time favorite. Photo complete with a photo bomber ;) Thanks, dude!

Didn't wear...didn't like
I didn't read that these were clip ons, so I wasn't a fan when I received them. I still tried them on, but I felt they looked a little tacky and too big. Nice earrings, just too blingy for me and for a wedding.

Sexy back
I loved this dress! A favorite by far. It does run true to size, however the only reason I wore the 8 was bc the 6 was too tight in my arms. By the end of the night I was still able to dance. There are cups in the dress, that made the dress more comfortable and no bra was needed. My date loved the dress too and I received so many compliments at the reception. I felt the most confident and sexy in this dress. It wasn't too short either and I didn't need spanx. Definitely, rent this dress for a nice occasion.

WOWZA!
Love the back and fit of this dress!! It was very comfortable. There is no stretch to it and it is true to size. I also wore cups instead of a strapless bra. The only issue: this dress is not made for single people!!! There are three hooks at the top and I could only zip up the dress. I had to go downstairs to the hair salon and have them hook it and before I was dropped off for the night, had to have my friend unhook it for me in the car!! However, this dress made me feel so sexy, confident and amazing! I would love to wear this in the other colors too. It's the perfect length as well!! Definitely rent it!

Love the color, love the lace & comfortable!
I wore this for our first date and he loved it. So did I! It is such a comfortable dress and the lace isn't heavy at all. Turquoise is my favorite color so I had to rent this dress :) True to size and roomie. Definitely take this dress into consideration.

Love this!
I rented this as a back up dress for a date. I wore the other dress instead, but at least I now I would love to rent this dress again for something in the future (and actually wear it this time). It's so comfortable! I would not recommend wearing this if it is humid out due to the heavy material.

This dress was not on my favorite list...
I rented this as a back up for an event I was working. It wasn't my favorite...it was a nice dress and fit well, but to me, it just wasn't anything outstanding compared to what I have rented before. It didn't do anything fab for my body type.

Sexy, sophisticated & class all at the same time!
I LOOOOOVED this dress!!!! I wore this to a residents' graduation dinner and I was the photographer. It was perfect for the occasion and comfortable! I loved the details and the fit. I didn't want to take the dress off! I wore it around the house for an extra 2 hours when I got home. I have never felt so confident and beautiful in a dress before! I received many compliments from everyone! Some of the physicians I know (and work with) walked right by me because they didn't recognize me looking so dressed up! I would love to rent this dress again, but maybe will try the teal colored one next time. Definitely rent this dress! It compliments well. There was a hole in the lace on the arm and I called RTR and they took care of things. I am between a 6 and 8, read that this dress runs large or true to size, so I went with the 8 and it fit perfectly. ;)

Not flattering for me, but also the wrong size
I got a deal with RTR where I was able to rent any three dresses to try on. This was one that I rented that I was interested in wearing for a future wedding. They did not have a back up size for me and I was only able to rent the 8, which I think I should have rented a 6. With that being said, the 8 was not flattering on me at all. It was too big and did not form well to my body. It's possible if I had a 6 to try on, I would have liked that better, but I can't say since the 8 was the only size I was able to try on. I hope everyone else that rents this dress looks great because you do in the photos!!! :)

Way too short for me
I liked this dress, but it wasn't super flattering to my body. I don't have a photo to attach bc I didn't like it as much to even want to share a photo. It was great for standing in, if I went somewhere where it was standing only, but way too short for my liking to sit in. And it would have made me uncomfortable. Not only was I attending the wedding, but I was also photographing the bridal party before hand. Definitely, not the dress for me to wear for photos. I'm glad I went with a previous dress I owned. I think this dress would be great for a hot date or clubbing, but good luck dancing in it ;)

Where did you get that dress?
This dress runs true to size. My second size was unavailable, so I just hoped this dress would fit and it did. It was a little tight, so I could not really sit well in it as it would ride up, but I was standing mostly at the party anyway. It is very comfortable and slimming and I loved how it hugged my curves in the right places. I received many compliments on it because everyone loved the detail of the dress. If you plan on wearing this to a cocktail party where you will be standing a lot, go for it! I don't think I would have worn this to a wedding and danced in this dress, but would consider if I wore a size up.

Feel sexy and confident!
I loooved this dress. It does run small - I usually wear a 6 in clothes and rented an 8. I only gave it 4 stars because the only thing that I did not like was that I felt like it kept twisting on me during the night, especially with dancing. If you are going somewhere to look good and not dance, then for sure I'd give it a 5 star rating, but the twisting part was just annoying. Others complained about the zipper on the side, but as long as the dress is pulled down and taught, it's not an issue. I would definitely rent this dress again and I received many, many compliments on how "hot" and "sexy" I looked in the dress and also asked where the dress was from. Definitely rent this dress!!!

Want a lot of compliments?
Wear this dress!! I wore it to a wedding this weekend. I wear a size 6/8 and had to wear the large only because the bottom was too tight in the M. However, I felt the L was too big in the top. It's a super comfy dress, love the color and the flow of it. Definitely need a strapless bra (someone else said that too). There is a little mesh slip under the skirt, the only problem I had was that part kept riding up (perhaps because I had a spanks on?) Anyway - I would rent this dress again and I received a lot of compliments!

Not my fav...
I rented this dress and ended up not wearing it. I didn't like how it pulled at the center. Instead of the triangles on the side bringing in my waist, it pulled it weird so it didn't synch my waistline at all.
