Family Photos 2016
Chose this dress for family photos this year. It was beautiful and fit nicely. Being short (just a smidge over 5'), I wished the dress was a touch shorter. It worked perfectly for our shoot though. I ordered the 0 and the 2. Unfortunately, the 0 arrived slightly damp and wrinkled, so I went with the 2 instead. The 2 was a bit big on me, but it still worked well.

Huge hit for family photo!
I actually based our family photo color scheme around this dress. I was a little nervous because I read the reviews that the dress runs small and they only had one size available that might work for me. I had hoped to order a 4 for backup, but they only had the 2 available. Well, I worried for nothing because the 2 fit perfectly (if you're bigger on top, then I could definitely see it being a problem; I'm a 30 B/C). I absolutely ADORE this dress. It fit in all the right ways, and I felt gorgeous in it. Skirt is looking a little faded, but overall, it was the perfect dress. Totally wish I could buy it.

I need to buy this dress!
Amazing dress; it just looked fantastic on me. I could have worn the 0 or the 2, but the 2 was just a smidge large, so I went with the 0. The dress was not too short, but I am only 5'0". If you are tall, the length could be an issue. I wore it to an outdoor cocktail party Memorial Day weekend, and I got compliments from everyone. I really want to buy this dress I loved it so much.

BEST decision ever!
This pays for itself in 2 rentals. So smart to take advantage of this!

Looks great on the model, but...
I just really didn't like the way this fit me. The material was very thick, and I felt like it really bunched around my waist and made me look fat and frumpy. I ended up keeping my jacket on the entire night because I felt like the dress did nothing for my body.

Not enough coverage
This was a backup dress, and I did not end up wearing it. It's incredibly sexy, but way too skimpy for the event I was attending. The fabric is very thin. At 35, it just wasn't something that I felt comfortable wearing to the fundraising event I was attending. The fit was too loose at the top too (especially around the shoulders).

The dress EVERYONE will notice!
The dress truly is a show-stopper, and I LOVED it. I wore it to a fundraising gala, and I had so many people stop me to say how much they loved my dress. The skirt is very full, but trust me when I say, "just go with it." Even though it feels really full to you, it will look amazing. The reason why I can't give the dress 5 stars is because of the size I received. I ordered a size 2 and a 0 for backup. Panic set in the evening before I was supposed to receive my dress, as I had not received a shipping notification yet (I normally receive it a couple days before the dress is due to be received). I contacted RTR. Shortly after asking on their Facebook page where my dress was (phones were down so I wasn't able to call them), I did receive a tracking #. I was notified via email by Toni that my backup size was not available and only the size 2 was shipped. Worried about that, I was able to work with Mae via Facebook to get a backup dress sent (Mae was incredibly helpful and was working with me up until 9:30/10:00 p.m. to get things straightened out). There were several options I was interested in, but my size was not available. Settled on what was probably my 3rd or 4th choice, but again, it was only available in a 2.

My daughter required me to wear a black sparkly dress...
My daughter and I did an overnight to celebrate her 5th birthday. She was wearing a black sparkly sequin dress and wanted me to match. RTR to the rescue! This dress worked out perfectly, and it totally made my daughter so happy. Dress is cute, and I felt good in it. Definitely on the short side though. Even at 5'0", I felt it was short. Would have been fine when I was 25, but I prefer a little more length at 35. Rented the 2 and the 4. 2 fit great, so I didn't even try on the 4. Another great rental from RTR!!

Such a sexy dress!
I absolutely loved this dress, and I felt incredible in it. I was supposed to wear it to a cocktail party, but our plans got canceled last minute. I ended up wearing it out for a nice dinner the next night instead. The dress fit amazingly. Super comfortable. Just a word of caution...the under-layer is short. I'm 5'0", and I felt like it was dangerously close to exposing my backside.

Tons of compliments!
The dress really looked fabulous. I rented the 0 and the 2, and I ended up wearing the 2. The 0 fit great, everywhere but the hips. The 2 fit well on my body, but was a bit big in the straps. The big issue with the dress is the sequins other the arms. It was incredibly uncomfortable, and I had huge red marks under my arms afterward.

Truly glamorous!
I loved the dress...absolutely LOVED it. I wore it to a fundraising gala and received many compliments on it. It is a beautiful and well-made gown. I ordered the 0P and 2P and ended up wearing the 0. A little tight in the ribcage, but otherwise fit great. The length was the tricky part though. It is REALLY long. I ordered the petite length, as I am about 5'0"...maybe a smidge taller. I wore 5" heels with the dress, and it still grazed the floor. Had it been an inch shorter, I would have given this dress 5 stars. I do question whether I actually received the petite length dress however. The size tag inside the dress read 0 and 2, instead of 0P and 2P. The transaction with RTR was seamless though, and I will definitely order from them again.
