Would rent again
I'm in between a 6 and 8 right now and this made me feel so comfortable. I was able to wear a racer back bra and no spanx!

Good, not great
I loved the color of this dress and it was flattering for my 9 month pregnant figure. I got tons of compliments all night long. The cons would be it is pretty low cut and the sides exposed my bra. I ended up being able to safety pin the sides so less bra was showing but i was still very self conscious of it all night. I am 5'5 and this dress is probably meant to be worn with heels but obviously i wasn't wearing heels since I'm very pregnant so it was a couple inches too long.

Loved this dress!
I loved this dress but it was slightly odd fitting for my body and I'm not sure why. The skirt portion was very tight and the top was big so i needed to pin it tighter. I did not wear this dress with a bra. My favorite part about this dress is it made me look at least 1-2 dress sizes smaller than i actually am!

Did not wear
Dress fits true to size however I have no idea how people wear a bra with this. The cut outs on the sides are so extreme it was impossible. And if I went braless my side boob would have been unattractively extreme.

Dress seemed defective
I loved all of the reviews on this dress however it didn't seem to look right on me. I ordered a 4 (my true size) and a 6 and both dresses did not lay right. They seemed bunched up on the sides and the front. Across the chest made me look like I had madonna horns. I did not end up wearing this dress but it was too late to send back.

My go-to outfit!!!!
I've rented this piece 3 times now and am patiently waiting for it to go on sale so I can just buy it. This is the perfect item to wear to a wedding or formal affair that is 1. Too cold or 2. Not exceptionally fancy. The front piece is loose enough that I was able to get away with just wearing pasties (which I never do!). When I rented this in black I wore a black bandeau. Can't say enough about this dress. LOVE IT!

Great dress
Nice quality dress and flattering for all figures. Fit is true to size. No complaints about this dress- I just gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I didn't feel like "WOW! Look at that dress!!!" It's a safe option.

Comfy dress
Dress runs slightly large. It does not have any stretch in the waist but the back has elastic making the smaller size the better fit. It was perfect for a wedding, very flattering.

Great fit but runs small
I wore this dress for a wedding. Usually I wear a 4 but always size up just in case the length isn't right. I decided I would definitely need a 6 Bc of the other reviews and got an 8 for my back up. Thank god Bc the 6 was way too tight and short. The 8 was still too short to make me feel totally comfortable but I wore it anyway and got many compliments. Material is thicker to high any imperfections. Color is amazing.

Very comfortable
I normally wear a 4 and figured a 2 would fit too since the dress is loose. RTR didn't have the 2 at last minute so they told me to choose 5 other choices. They didn't have any of them which was a little annoying and they sent me a hideous dress they thought I would like. THANKFULLY the 4 fit perfectly. I wore it with the booties in my pic to dress it down along with a green statement necklace.

Did not want to return this piece!
I wore this dress to a reception at a restaurant on Halloween. I wear a 6 in pants, a 4 in dresses but the 2r for this for me perfectly! Super comfortable all night. I was concerned with what bra to wear so I just wore a bandeau and it worked perfectly bc of the loose fit. There were no cons. Absolutely loved this outfit and wish I could keep it.

Loved this dress
I am usually a 4 in dresses but get a 6 for back up. Unfortunately, the 6 was unavailable for this date. The 4 was a little short but I am still young enough to get away with it and it was very very form fitting. I was unable to zip the dress with a bra on so I just went braless (which I absolutely never do!!) and the dress was tight enough and really good quality to get away with it. The scoop back and the knot on the front make the dress extra special. I would absolutely rent this dress again but in the 6 next time so I don't have to worry about the dress riding up when I sit down. Totally forgot to get a picture wearing it!!

Pretty dress but did not wear it
This dress is beautiful but a hassle to get in and maneuver around. It definitely runs small so I got a 4 and a 6 and the 4 wouldn't even zip. I loved the back view of this dress but the tulle strap had a tear in it. Also with all the extra fabric I felt like it wasn't a slimming dress for me.

So many compliments!
I usually wear a 6 in pants but a 4 in dresses so I got the 4 and it fits like a glove. I don't really have a big chest but this dress really accentuates the chest area. I'm 5'5 and wore heels that were at least 4 inches and the dress was long enough in the regular. Perfect for a black tie optional wedding bc it's nice but not too fancy. I wish I owned this dress! Everyone was asking me where I bought it from.

Loved this dress
I wore this dress for a wedding. I usually wear a 6 or a 4. The 4 was very tight and a little short but I was able to go bra less with some spanx which I never ever do. The 6 was a little more loose. I could have worn either size. I had no trouble with the buttons fastening in the back. I probably should have used the double sided tape for the back but did not want to be constricted while dancing.
