Alrighty - this dress was the backup to a replacement for a backup -- (follow me). Sadly however it did not arrive in time for my event. However, I will say this. It is stunning in person. The colors pop and the fabric is heavy and weighted, which hides all flaws. I have shortlisted this and will be renting for a future event. If you like the Crystalline Gown - this is a great back up or follow up dress!

This dress is hands down my favorite RTR pick. I ended up with this dress when my original pick didn't work. I was worried I wouldn't fit into the 6R, but I did. Because of the shape of this dress, size to your upper body. If you are med/small busted, size down. Large busts, size up. I am a 34DD and sized down (6R, normally an 8R). The dress is a one shoulder with a true waist. It has heavy satin fabric, with raise/perforated flowers all over. The color is a TRUE royal blue with black detailing. It is more stunning in person than in pics. The dress has pockets and is extremely comfortable to wear. At 5'3, the back of the dress grazed the floor and the front hit just below my knee. I received TONS of compliments and was told I was 'best dressed' other than the bride. I'll be honest, even when I have an amazing RTR dress, there is usually one girl at the wedding where I'll say, "darn it, that dress is amazing....". Not this time. This time, it was MY dress that had everyone saying 'damn.....'....LOL. Enjoy! PS, for whatever reason my profile will not correctly update my weight. I am 155lbs and my bust is 34DD; all other measurements are accurate.

This dress was great - and arrives exactly as shown. It is a brilliant emerald green chiffon. The bodice is rouched with heavy boning. If the dress fits well enough, you can go braless. A little double sided fabric tape, and I was nice and secure. The dress has an empire waist, which is flattering on all figures. The length is LONG. Repeat - LONG. I am 5'3 on the dot. Initially I ordered the regular, but ended up swapping for the petite. I wore 3.5" heels and the petite still skimmed the ground. This dress isn't bells and whistles, it is a classic that fits and works on all body types. Great dress to order as a back up because you know it will work. I found it fits true to size. I am pear shaped, and probably could have gone down to a 6P (the bust on my 8P seemed stretched out). NOTE: My profile has not been updating correctly. I am 5'3, 150lbs, a size 8/10, 32DD and pear shaped. Happy Renting loves!

Okay - this is 100% my fault. I did not zoom in on the picture, so I expected this dress to be a white underlay with silver beading / accents. It is actually a rayon/spandex blend dress (stretchy) with silver sequins all over it (disco ball style). For some this may be awesome, but personally it is not for me. The pluses are this dress fits and looks amazing on! I am curvy (big boobs, tiny waist, broad hips) and I struggle to find things that really flatter my frame (I'm also very petite). However, this dress did that. My butt looked amazing. Seriously amazing. I didn't wear this, because the disco theme was a bit much for my work party. But if I needed a great dress for bridesmaids night out or something - I may re-rent.

The dress fits fabulously. If you have curves (aka wide hips) - this dress works well. HOWEVER, the dress if very costumey up close. The lapels and nude mesh over the bust made me think I was Kristi Yamaguchi competing at the 92 Olympics (seriously, look it up...same dress). Which is too bad - because had the lapels not been there, this would have been a show stopper. Now, I didn't end up wearing this, but it did fit true to size.

I got this look for a summer concert. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. That said, it's a cute, stylish, garment. The denim is light weight, which makes it easy to wear on a nice summer evening. The length of the jumper is not for petites. I am 5'3 and the waist / belt loops fell well below my hip bones. This seems to be a 5'5 - 5'8 garment (the shorts were long on me too). This runs large - so it depends on the fit you're going for. For more casual, I suggest ordering your normal size, if you're looking for a more snug and sassy approach, go down a size. Don't worry if you have curves - there is plenty of room to move in this jumper! I have very wide hips and still had plenty of room in the medium.

More stunning in person. I was worried about the size, but when they arrived I found them to be light weight and the perfect length. Pair with a romantic side sweep or up do.

This dress was epically gorgeous. The delicate black lace overlays a gray underskirt, and a bounty of tulle. The dress is accented by fine silver stitching. Fit is excellent. You have to have a chest to wear this dress B-D. Any larger or smaller and it will be falling or you won't get it zipped in the back. I wore this dress to a black tie masquerade and was the belle of the ball. The uneven hem was eye catching, and the train added red carpet glamour I didn't expect. I felt like a Disney princess and could not have been more thrilled with my rental!

This was my back up dress for my Gatsby birthday. I didn't wear this dress - but it deserves an honorable mention. First, the color is more gold/beige than pink. I actually preferred this - but if you're looking for a very pink sparkly dress - you may be disappointed. This fit snug thru the hips - but that's always kind of my problem. If you have a more athletic build or are slender you will find this sits looser. However, the empire waist and v/neckline make the silhouette flattering on all types. My 5'8, DD, leggy friend ended up wearing it instead and she killed it!

This dress was a perfect dress for my Gatsby themed birthday. The gold and silver sequin detail is very deco and the lace skirt adds a flirty element. The dress is true to size. I am hippy (38") and this fit me like a glove. Another 5lbs and I would have needed a size up. I totally recommend this for any 1920s stylized event.

Does this dress really need another glowing review??? Okay...I'll do it! Dress runs very true to size, but much like what has been said, it is small through the bust. I am a 332D and my girls were nicely placed...don't think anything much bigger could squeeze in there though! If you have narrow hips, size down. I have big pear hips (32D/26/40) and this fit me perfectly. I had room to breath and sit, and didn't feel like my hips were suffocating. The waist band is also narrow. In other words, if you are a pear shape this dress is your new best friend. If you build is narrow/atheletic, I would say size down. For you cury hour glass girls, I would say size up to fit the ta-tas. If you are small busted though, go w/ your normal size. This dress is classy and elegant and I received tons of compliments! My bf LOVED it -- and even had some other guys tell him his date was the hottie of the night!

This was my backup dress, so it was never actually worn. First things first, this fits true to size, but what does that mean? Different for everyone, so I will break it down. I am a true pear shape; 32D/26/40. This fit snug as a bug in a rug in all of the right places. The deep V is deep. The smaller the chest, the more "plunge" you get. The rouching in the front was nice, covers a big meal or mild bloat. Length was good. My only complaint is that, well, I thought it was kind of cheap looking. The sequins were kind of tacky looking up close. Could be an age thing though!

I loved this dress the instant I saw it, and had to have it! Unfortunately, the weekend I needed it, only the M was available. I thought it would fit though, since I am big in the hips. Unfortunately, while it was snug and perfect in the hip area, it was too large for me in the waist and bust. Now, I have an oddly proportioned figure (32D-26-39) -- so I OFTEN incur this when fitting for dresses. I do think the S may have worked though. The sleeves were also a tad long, as was the hem (I am only 5'3). But the dress is MUCH cuter in person than on the model -- so if you are a true hourglass, busty up top or athletic build I think it will be a great fit. My RTR experience was phenomenal though! I called customer service, and my replacement is on its way!!! Both Serena and Lindsay, who I spoke with in Customer Care were friendly and helpful. Overall the experience has been great. The dress also came in a garment bag, with tape and extras. I really enjoyed the extra effort they put in...makes it really seem special.
