Beautiful, but there were issues
This dress is GORGEOUS, if you don't mind showing some serious skin with the open back and very low cut chest. I usually wear a size 10, but it wasn't available on the date I needed it after a quick return of another dress that just didn't work. However, the 12 seemed to fit, and the regular length was perfect, so I wore it. I'm a 36D, however, and I had to tape the HECK out of the top of this dress to keep my boobs from falling out. Very weird, since it fit my equally large behind. But I figured it out. We went to dinner before our event, and by the time the dinner was over, the dress had stretched out EXPONENTIALLY in the waist and chest. I don't know how this happened, since the dress was a size big and wasn't tight fitting to start out with. I could fit a fist in the waist, which was a PROBLEM. I ended up feeling extremely self conscious all night long. I felt like I was constantly about to be exposed! This dress is super pretty, but added SO much stress to my evening. Wouldn't rent it again.

Great dress! Some issues, though...
Okay here's the deal: This dress is gorgeous, especially if you have dark hair and have a tan, like I do. I ended up not wearing this dress for the following reasons: 1) I am 5'5", and the regular length was 3 inches too long even in 3.5 inch heels. I don't get it. How is that possible?? 2) The 10 was the size that fit me, except in the boobs, where it was SIGNIFICANTLY too small. What i don't understand about that is that I am very, very hourglass-shaped. My butt and boobs have almost exactly the same measurements, so usually if something fits my butt, it should fit my boobs. Therefore, pretty confusing that a dress that fits my butt is significantly too small in the chest. I don't really have that problem too much. 3) The zipper on the size 12R was broken. It zipped when it wasn't on, but would not zip when it was on, even though this size was a little too big on me. I've had problems with tricky zippers from RTR before, even in this dress in another color, but this was ridiculous. I got 3 additional people involved, and we still couldn't get it to zip. It just wouldn't budge. This made the boob and length problems moot because I couldn't even wear it if I wanted to. This dress is really pretty and very flattering, but the fit issues make it not worth the hassle. DO NOT RENT if you don't have time to exchange in case this dress gives you problems.
