Less than fabulous pockets
I really liked all the elements of this dress...until I tried it on. The pockets were the biggest issue. Normally I love pockets on a dress but sadly these pockets only added bulk and bulge to the hip area. Not a great look if you're already curvy. Maybe if you have a straight and narrow body type the dress would work for you but if you have any shape below the waist the pockets cause the dress to flare and visually added an extra two inches on my hips. NOT flattering to say the least. I did like the material of the dress and the V-shape on the back but couldn't get over how I looked in the dress and therefore didn't wear for my date night.

Beautiful in Lace!
The fit is true to size. I ordered the 0 and 2 because I read a few reviews that recommended sizing down. I normally wear a 2 but tried the zero on and it was waaay to short and slightly snug. I'm only 5'5 so for you taller girls just be aware. That said, I think this dress would be a really good dress for petite girls. I loved the overall fit of the dress, it had a little extra room in the mid section but still showed off my shape so I was pleased with that. The color is stunning and the lace is definitely high quality. I paired the dress with black heels and a black Kate spade clutch. I got tons of compliments on the dress and I was so sad to have to return it. I want this one to stay in my closet forever!

Loved this clutch! I wanted to keep it forever, perfect to add a pop of color to a LBD.

Classy and sexy
This is the first RTR dress that I didn't love 100%. That being said the only con was the nude slip because it has a side zipper that made me look "rolly" on that side because it had a tendency to bunch when it moved up. If the zipper was down the middle of the back I don't think it would've been a problem. However, the lace part was gorgeous and if I had time to find a different nude slip it would've been perfect.

Classy dress for fall event
This was a wonderful dress. I rented it for a fall event and was very comfortable and warm the entire night. The fit was true to size and the fabric has some give to it to accommodate curves. The hemline hit just above the knee and the pencil skirt was easy to walk in. I loved the back detail of the black semi mesh material and full length zipper. I wore the dress with a nubra but probably wouldn't have had an issue wearing a standard bra with the black semi mesh material. The dress arrived in great condition and was everything I had hoped for, classy, chic and warm. I will definitely rent this one again.

ELEGANT, SEXY AND GLITTERY
I rented this dress for a New Years Eve ball and felt like a star! I received so many compliments on my gown and was even told I was the best dressed :) Thank you RTR! Okay for the fit details: the length was perfect with my 3 in black heels (hit right above the floor), the material has a little bit of stretch to it so it forms to your body but the rouching helps to hide any unflattering areas. The neckline is very nice especially if you aren't blessed in that area, I wore a strapless bra to help give some curves because without a bra I just looked kinda flat. The skirt has beautiful little sashe to it when you walk and the whole gown glittered! This dress is a show stopper and I would absolutely rent it again!

Sexy and Sophisticated
Probably one of my most favorite dresses from RTR. I rented this dress for a business conference and it was perfect for the conference meeting where I wore a black blazer and heels with it and the surprise back was well suited for cocktail hour afterwards. This dress was so figure flattering I didn't want to send it back! The material is a little thicker (in a good way) and the rouching along the side of the dress shows off all the right curves. The length on me was a couple inches above my knee, not too short but not too long in my opinion. I opted to not wear a bra with this dress because of the open back and felt fine without; the dress is snug enough that you are naturally supported. If you haven't rented this dress yet then you should!!!

Absolutely Adorable
This dress was so cute and comfortable! I rented it for a mothers day brunch and paired it with a tan cardigan, black wedge heels and a skinny black belt. I noticed from other reviews a pink belt was included? Mine did not come with a pink belt but that was ok, I liked the black instead. The length was just above my knee, and the flared skirt made it comfortable for walking and sitting at brunch. The color is a very vivid pink that I think can go with anyones skin tone. I loved this dress and would definitely rent it again for future events.

Elegant for bridal shower
I wore this dress for a bridal shower brunch with a white cardigan, pearls, and nude pumps. The dress was a hit! I was surprised that the material was as lightweight as it was and had a gold thread that looked gorgeous in the sunlight; both an added bonus. The boning in the dress helped to keep it up and maintain a nice snug fit against my waist. The hemline hit just below my knee which was okay since it was strapless and the added hemline length kept it modest for sitting. I wore a strapless bra with the dress and that seemed sufficient enough although I'm sure a Nubra would've been more comfortable in retrospect. Overall I got lots of compliments on my dress!!!

Spanish flare!
I wore this dress for a spanish flare summer wedding! The material was nice and cool for the event (we're talking upper 80's temperature wise) and the single shoulder strap + boning in the bodice was nice because I didn't have to adjust or "hike" up the dress once. The material has stretch to it so it hugged my body well and also made it comfortable for sitting and dancing. Overall I loved this dress and it was a nice festive color and cute for the wedding event. I paired it with a black blazer for the ceremony (which was in a church) but took it off for the reception.

Perfect for a country wedding!
I wore this dress to a cute country wedding and it was a total hit! The lace adds a touch of sweetness and the hemline and neckline keep the dress modest but the fit gives the "wow" factor. I loved that it was feminine without being "sexy" necessarily. For me I had a Kate Middleton moment in this dress! I opted to not wear the belt (although a very cute belt) and kept my jewelry minimal; the dress does a good job of standing out on it's own. I would have probably worn a size 2 instead but the 4 was still a good fit and comfortable.
