Great dress!
This was such a "wow!" dress! Everyone commented how great it looked! It was very comfortable, and surprisingly stayed up while dancing etc (my chest is 40C). Plenty of give in the fabric and very comfy. The color was perfection for a sept fall wedding (in Maine!).

Lovely dress - just needs a belt
I received this as a replacement for a dress that didn't work- the stylist picked it out for me as one she'd worn before - Love the customer service at RTR! It's not a dress I would've picked myself but I loved it! Such a perfect fall look, with some nice details w embroidery and high neck. Since I needed a dress in a rush they didn't have my usual sizes available so I ended up w an 18. Since I was just wearing this to a ceremony and changing for the reception I I didn't mind that it was so big, but could've gone at least 2 sizes down. I also think this should come w a belt (why I gave it 4 stars not 5) because it has a waist line but it needs a more shapely structure. Definitely would rent again - enjoy!

Didn't wear it - so heavy and unflattering
I didn't rend up wearing this, and sent it back for another dress that fit the bill. I originally rented this for a wedding (oct in Maine) and figured the colors would be a fit. The other reviews seemed good .. it was so so heavy!! I don't understand how no one else reviewed that piece. I thought it was going to be one piece of flowy fabric , but instead there was a tan under piece and then a "lace" on top. Felt more like dyed rope. The lace ran very long at the end - I had R length and I'm 5'9 and it was an inch on the ground around my feet. So heads up no matter what, you'll need heels. I didn't think it was that flattering to begin with, though I've worn similar styled gowns in the past that have looked good. Hope that helps your search!

Beautiful dress with so many ways to wear it, it can always work for you!
I really enjoyed this dress. We had formal family pictures and had to be in white (they can photoshop this tanish color down to be white) so I rented this dress. It was very comfortable and so fun to choose what you wanted to have the straps look like! I am 5'9 and wearing flats and had to hold my dress up when I walked to just to note if you're shorter you'll need heels . So don't do what I did and get a sunburn in a line across your should which make this outfit look less than great .. whoops!

Super comfy and flowy for a hot summer wedding
This was a great color and a comfortable dress. Not the most statement piece that begs attention, but a great classic piece. I did end up wearing the 1x because the XL was super tight around my thighs for some reason. This meant that the back was a big loose and dropped down so you'd have to make sure your bra was low on your back. I did end up wearing a strapless bra and was fine! The one note I will make is that the clasp at the back of the neck is bizarre. I just ended up pinning it together Bc it was impossible to click back into place. Not sure how no one else mentioned it or seemed to have a problem. But since I wasn't worried about people looking at the back of my dress, I just pinned it together and went on my way! To note, I am 5'9 and didn't wear heels and it came pretty low on me so I would say if you're short then it's not the dress for you.

Rent this dress you won't regret it!
I LOVED this rental! The dress was perfect for a spring outside wedding. I received tons of compliments (I mean, you can't go wrong w a Lily!). The dress is on the large side. I did end up going w the 16 even though the 14 fit fine, Bc I am 5'9 and wanted the length. If you're a petite person you can size down 2 sizes. Definitely worth the rental, will be choosing this one again! Wish I owned it.

Stunning color and super comfortable
This color is a knock out ! Super comfortable dress and got compliments all night ! ( ignore the water spot on my chest, dance floor casualty). It certainly runs large, I usually wear a 14 and was able to easily and comfortably fit in a 12, so either my 3 weeks at the gym paid off rather fast or, more likely, you can size down one size than your normal. The sleeves have a weird zipper on them to open them up (why?) I just kept them zipped shut and no one could see the zippers. Definitely needs a necklace to go with this dress.. it's a rather plain dress when you put it on, aside from the color. It was great for my business school event, but you may want something w more flare. I ended up doing a long one rather than the large statement piece because there just seemed to be too much empty red space otherwise. I would rent this again, and would recommend to you-- I hope you have as much fun in it as I did!

Best dress - you won't regret it!
I absolutely loved this dress! It was sent as a last minute replacement for one that was far too short - and I couldn't be happier! I not only received compliments all night , but had 4 people separately text me to say they were looking at pics and were obsessed w it. It was super comfy , easy to walk in, and the color is perfect for a summer wedding. I'm 5'9 and wore flats and I didn't have any issues w the height. In fact, when walking down the stairs , it flows behind you perfectly along the stairs. Highly, highly recommend !

Amazing dress and a real show stopper!
I absolutely loved this dress ! I ended up w this one as a replacement for one that couldn't ship to me for a wedding, and I couldn't be happier!! It was something completely different, and I received tons of complements. I am 5'9 and I wore flats, it reached the perfect length for me w out heels . I did have to tie the top of the straps together because the chest area is super large which was an easy fix but something to be aware of. The material is super light and flows in the wind perfectly . Definitely suggest this dress !

Best dress ever!!
Absolutely loved this dress!! Highly recommend !! I wore this to a wedding and got compliments all night and felt beautiful in it! I did end up wearing the 16r but could've been in the 14r (see below why I changed) - I would say this material is less forgiving than some of their other styles so keep that in mind when ordering . Also I'm a D and my chest was slightly squished, but you couldn't tell bc of the material that lays over it so it worked out well. 100% get this dress! Just to note .. I had actually ordered the red but the zipper would not go up, not because it didn't fit but it would not go over the change in material at the empire waist , so I had this next day delivered to me in next size up in case. Same thing w the zipper happened, but my date finally got it up and it was perfect! So just be aware someone else will have to zip you up.

AMAZING stand out dress!
I rented this for a wedding and absolutely loved it! Super super comfortable , and has a bit of stretch to it so it's always moving w you which is great. I wore this in Texas and was perfectly comfortable all night, no hear issues. The only thing to remember on this is that the back has an opening, so depending on your bra you may have an issue (I didn't). The zipper can get stuck on the sequins so you may need someone else to zip you up. 100% encourage you to rent this! For reference I'm "athletic build" , 5'9 190 and I wore 12 .

Eek. Not recommended
Didn't end up wearing this - it was all sorts of wrong. I'm a bigger girl and it not only didn't fit well but seemed to highlight all the not-so-great sections on my body. Waistline is not forgiving, color is not complimentary, lots of what feels like heavy extra fabric. I returned and overnights something else instead. I do not suggest renting this.

Worth the rent !
Wore this for an outside Rhode Island wedding and it was definitely a show stopper! Lots of compliments! Super fun to wear something outside the ordinary. Word to the wise , your underarms will feel those little sparkles every time they touch. I certainly spent a lot of time w my hands up in the air dancing instead :) I ordered two sizes , would've worn the 14 but unfortunately the zipper was broken so I just wore the 16. Unfortunately I have a stomach, so it wasn't necessarily a fabulous waistline for my shape but it was such a fun dress I don't think anyone else noticed ;P Would order again !

Fabulous "something different" to spice up any party !
Rent this!! I wore a size L (12) for my birthday party and the outfit was amazing! I got compliments all night ;) this was not my normal style but I decided to step out of my comfort zone w this one and I'm glad I did! I'm 5'9 so a lot of dresses are super short on me, and so the jumpsuit caught my eye (winter birthday- out in the snowy tundra of Boston you want to be covered!) . I'm 190lbs and 5'9 and I wore the large not the xl because there was too much extra fabric on the xl. Definitely an outfit to wear to any occasion! I paired w black heels and black blazer and it was perfection :)

Rode up way too high in the crotch!
This is not something for a tall gal like myself.. The crotch inseam basically rode all the way up and created a not - so-great camel toe scene. I didnt end up wearing this, and returned it. Maybe you'd have better luck if you're shorter (for reference, I'm 5'9).
