Beautiful but very busy
Loved it and was great for the Indian wedding I wore it to. Not sure what else it would be good for as it was very busy but it's beautiful

Gorgeous dress, incredible quality and color
Was sent this as a backup when my original order did not come through and I was so so pleased with it. It's absolutely beautiful and a very bright vibrant color. It was great for an hourglass figure but no bra is possible so keep that it mind. Length was great for me at 5'4 with 3 inch heels.

Beautiful and adjustable but didn't work with my outfit
It was great but it didn't work with the dress I ended up wearing so I didn't wear it - was bummed out that I couldn't fit it into my outfit.

Just what I wanted
Very nice for the Indian wedding I went to. Nothing much to say, just that they served the purpose for which I rented them and I was happy with them

Great for Indian wedding
Very sparkly. Loved them and got lots of compliments. However I will say that one set I received had seven bracelets while the other had eight and a few of them were pretty beat up (several dislodged rhinestones were left in the box) but overall very good

Too small - no room in bust and too much leg
Rented the 6l and 8l as I usually wear an 8. It was too small in the bust and the slit was way too high. I ended up wearing the 8 in another RTR dress. Not for someone with an hourglass figure.

Silver and sparkly.
The bag is a nice sparkly silver with rhinestones. It went well with the silver jewelry I wore.

Backup dress turned out just fine
This was a backup dress that was sent to me - it turned out alright. The sequins are nice but my hair was dying with them, always getting stuck. I thought overall it was pretty nice and not too skanky, which were my requirements.

So very tight in the arms
Had it not been so tight in the arms, I would have worn it (despite accentuated stomach pooch) - but I ended up sending it back. Would have been unbearable. If you have thinner arms (thinner than me at least, so most people), I think it would be good.

Needed lots of safety pins and still boobs galore
It didn't fit as loosely as some said - the waist wasnt that loose (i have a small enough waist and it was tough breathing at times in the medium), but the bust and shoulders were quite big. I had to safety pin this thing like no other just so that it wasnt open to my navel (pretty sure there would have been some falling out had i leaned over without the safety pins). even so the top back clasp kept coming undone all night. It wasn't short on me but I'm only 5'4 and wasnt tight anywhere but on my ribcage (at the top of the zipper) Its really a pretty color and all that but I wouldn't recommend it unless youve got a very particular body type (read: tiny waist, HUGE shoulders, small bust).

A Beautiful Dress...unfortunately worn by someone else!
I got the 8R and the 10R (concerned that some others have said the fit in the hips is tight which its not) - however, I think I would have been happiest with a 6L or 8L. I wore the 8R with flats...it just brushed the floor. No heels were possible (I'm only 5'4 and followed the recommendation of the website thinking I would be able to wear 3' heels) but it ended up alright. The 10R was definitely longer, 2 or 3 inches and heels would have been fine in that - but it was way too loose in the midsection. For someone with an hourglass shape, this isnt horrible, but I think there would have been better things to suit my body. All in all, I would have been happy but when I walked into the event, the woman directly in front of me was wearing the same dress (sorry!) and I felt like I had to play the avoidance game all night ....oddly enough, my 2nd and 3rd choice dresses from RTR were also worn to the event by other women..go figure
