This dress is very dramatic without being over-the-top. The cut is very forgiving, but was a little too loose for my taste. I'm petite (5'6", 110lbs), and I kind of looked like I was drowning in the zero. I would recommend this dress highly for any girls who don't like things to cling too much around the middle, though.

I wore this dress to an event that had a relatively ambiguous and casual dress code. I knew that people would show up wearing jeans, but I wanted to wear a dress (without looking out of place). This dress was the perfect solution! It has a very bohemian globetrotter look to it. I paired it with knee-high brown boots and a cropped military jacket, and accessorized with funky chandelier earrings from India, and an arm full of bangles. The look was a hit! I felt very much like Seinna Miller in it. The size of the dress surprised me at first...it's not form-fitting at all, but the belt fortunately cinches it in. The skirt wasn't quite as short on me as it looks in the photo, but it still looked really sexy with boots!

This is one of my go-to dresses on RTR. I've already rented it twice in the past month! It's very classic, but just trendy enough to stand out. I try to avoid wearing LBDs to everything, and this dress is a great alternative to that. The creamy color is very flattering on fair skin tones, and is a nice contrast to the sea of LBDs. I have a petite frame, (5'6", 110 lbs....I ordered an XS), and sometimes drapey dresses can make me look like I'm drowning in the fabric. That's not the case with this dress. The fluttery sleeve adds the perfect amount of movement to an otherwise form-fitting dress.

I absolutely adored this dress! It was perfectly structured and ruched to accentuate a woman's curves. I actually rented the Preen Perfect Plum dress for a different event, and the two dresses have very similar looks. However...this one is actually MUCH more flattering on. And it's less expensive... Score! There is boning and removable padding in the bodice that really accentuates the bust line, but in an elegant, tailored way. Beautiful dress... I would definitely rent it again! My only recommendation is to wear slightly more dazzling accessories, since the material/color can look a bit flat without other embellishments in your outfit.

This was a very cute, preppy dress. It's nicely made in a sturdy fabric...always a nice feature on a lightly-colored dress! It's perfect for an outdoor event on a summer day. That said, I found myself constantly fidgeting with the collar. I just couldn't seem to get it to lay correctly. I would also recommend ordering a backup one size smaller than you ordinarily would. The wrap-around isn't very snug around the middle. I'm petite (5'6", 110lbs), so I ordered the zero, but even that had at least 4" of loose fabric around my waist.

This dress is cut beautifully, and is very flattering and ladylike. The fabric is relatively thick, and the dress is lined, which gives the piece a nicely tailored look. This is a great dress for a holiday work party, or any other time that you'd like to look like Jackie-O--effortlessly chic. I'm 24, and I liked that it made me look more put together for a work party I was attending. I let my Mom try it on too (she's 50), and she loved that it made her look sexy, but not like she was "wearing her daughter's clothes."

I've actually rented this dress twice already. It's the perfect outdoor-party dress! The material looks couture... I received so many compliments on it! Just be advised... This dress is quite mini. I am only 5'6", and the skirt just barely covers the essentials. That said, the heavier lace overlay and looser fit keep the dress from looking risque, despite the length.
