Comfortable and stylish!
I rented this for a wedding and really loved it. When I first tried it on I wasn't sure, but once I had my hair and makeup done it popped. The color was great and I loved the long drap up top. I was 15 weeks pregnant at the time so I went up a size to 16 from my normal 14 given my boobs are already enormous. It was roomy and not too tight which I liked. I could also zip it myself without any help - always a plus! Packed it in a suitcase to fly to the wedding and it didn't wrinkle either.

Loved this dress!
I really loved this dress. Luckily I read the reviews and went 1 and 2 sizes up. I am tall (5'10") have a large chest (38D) and while the 18 was a little big, the 16 was slightly too snug. I ended up wearing the 18 and it worked really well. I got tons of compliments and loved how the dress flowed behind me. The only annoying part was the crappy zipper: it would NOT go past the seam (either on me or off me) until I rubbed a little bar soap on the teeth.

Extra length was key!
I rented this for a black tie wedding and really loved it. I ordered a 12 and 14, and was told by RTR that the 14 could not ship as it had been returned late. After some back and forth they were able to find a 14L which I ended up wearing and loving. While I am 5'10", I don't normally need extra long pants or dresses but for this, I definitely needed the extra length. If you are larger in the chest I would recommend going up a size as my normal size 12 did not fit my 38D chest (would not even zip). Dress was great to dance in and I got many compliments throughout the night!

Stretches somewhat, fits true to size, does show tummy if you have one
Overall, I really liked this dress minus a couple things. I rented it for my Grad School graduation ceremony to wear under my cap & gown, and then for the party later. I ordered a 10 and 12, and wore the 12. Would have ordered a 12 and 14 if they had it, but this dress maxes out at 12. Luckily, the 12 is my normal dress size, and it fit perfectly. Now for the issues: I had read another review saying this dress hid someone's post-partum baby belly, and was excited because that's my problem area. Well, any belly she had must have been completely in her head because I could absolutely see my belly when I turned to the side (straight on it was perfect). It wasn't a huge issue for me, but felt others should know that while the dress does pull in under your chest, the bottom half is not loose enough to cover any belly. Additionally, the cut out on the back of the dress looks nothing like it does on the model if you're more than a Size 0 :) It was stretched out to be more of flattened, horizontal type triangle, which is fine -- just not what's shown in the picture.

Diamond Lace Dress

Awesome party dress, fit like a glove - though a little short if you have longer legs.
I rented this for my Rehearsal Dinner and it was perfect. I was looking for a fun party dress in either white or a light color, so the light pink was perfect. I am 5'10" and a 38D, so I ordered a 12 (my normal size) and a 14, thinking I would need the bigger size to accommodate the girls. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 12 fit me PERFECTLY! I was comfortable all night, and wasn't constricted at all. The only thing that surprised me was that it was a little shorter than cocktail dresses I normally wear (especially when I put my heels on), but my now-husband didn't mind one bit :)
