Gorgeous!!
I am usually a size 8/10. This 8 fit me perfectly in the ribcage and bust (34B). I’m tall, just under 5’9” and wore flats. It was a tad bit long but nothing crazy. I got so many complements!!! It’s like a sunset in motion. And matched my glasses perfectly. I wanted to buy!!

Perfection!
This was a back up to a dress that wasn’t able to ship. Even though it was a bit long I was able to wear flats (way more comfortable!) Super flattering and comfortable. The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been pockets.

I wish the slit wasn’t as high
I LOVED the fit of this dress! However that slit was just too high. I was hoping that being tall, it would have been a little lower down my leg. I don’t even know how I would have sat down in this. I wore a different dress

Loved the neckline but….
The lace is nice and stretchy but still too tight across my belly. I loved the sweetheart neckline. Going up a size for my hips would probably make the top too large. Probably not the best if you’re hourglass and self conscious about your belly! I wore a different dress for the occasion

Beautiful color
This was lovely - perfect weight and color for the wedding I was to attend St Patty’s weekend. I have a long waist and where it hit wasn’t the most flattering. It accented my belly. I chose to wear a different dress

Soft material
I ended up wearing my other RTR dress. The material of this dress is beautifully silky. It was a little large on me - I think a size smaller would be a better fit.

Beautiful color!!
The dress is a gorgeous purple-blue color with gold pattern. Yes it's very low cut. I used pasty type bra for lift and then more Hollywood tape along the neckline. With larger, younger, perkier boobs I probably wouldn't need as much help. LOL I'm tall (5'8.5") and was wearing 2" wedge heels. I stepped on the back hem a few times. Overall a great dress!!

Wish they had a larger size available!
Loved the fabric and the top part. Sadly they only had an 8 available (this was my back up) and after enjoying the holidays I think I needed a 10! Hope to rent it in the future

Super long! But gorgeous material
This was a backup dress. I will definitely rent again in the regular length. Too long for me but the rest of the dress for well. I only wear flats so it may work with heels.

Runs a little big but gorgeous!
I am 5'8.5" and the 8R was long (I only wear flats) Also a little large in the chest. I ended up wearing a strapless bra to help. Everyone loved it - the color and pockets!

Cute, but....
I am long waisted and this hit a little too high for comfort. Still cute but I didn't feel it. Neckline a little high/tight as well. I think for short waisted ladies this might be more flattering.

A little large
Looks great with white pants. A little large but a white tank underneath fixed that. I bought it!

Rented this for White night on our cruise. My friend thought I should buy it! I didn't because it was pretty pricey to purchase. But would definitely rent again.

Colorful and comfortable
I wore this a few different times to Holiday get togethers. Definitely need to wear a camisole underneath. The pattern and colors received many complements. Loved the tie detail at the wrists for something different. Would rent again!

Belle of the Ball!
I can't say enough about how fabulous this dress is! I don't know how I will top this for next years Christmas Party. I wore 3" heels and it was perfect. Definitely needed the push up bra and spanx. I felt 20 years younger tonight.

Silky!
Loved the color and fit. Wore a few times, once with khaki capris and the other with jeans. Received lots of complements. Needs a strapless bra for sure.

Professional look
This was really nice - in material and fit (a little snug but nothing too crazy). We ended up in summer temperatures so I sent back before I could wear it. I will rent again.

I wore this twice - once with khaki pants and once with jeans. Cute and easy to dress up or down. Long torso ladies be prepared to wear with high waisted pants or risk some skin showing on the shorter side.

I bought it!
I love these Chanel style jackets and always buy when I find a great one. Love the details of fringe on this. Not something I've seen before!

Comfy and stylish
The reviews said the dress ran large but I didn't find that to be true. It was a little tight in the sleeve and across the chest (and I don't have super big boobs!) I styled with a tank top underneath (so I could leave more unbuttoned), white jean jacket and blue flats. Wore to a show at the Warner Theatre and dinner beforehand. Easy to walk several blocks in DC between venues. High quality material with lining. Will definitely rent again!

Loved it so much I bought it!
I got the size 10 and wore it twice (cruise to Bermuda and weekend on LBI) It was a little large in the rib cage and with it being cotton stretched a little. (No one could tell) I ended up having the 8 sent so I could compare and bought the smaller size. After a walk in the beach I decided I may add a small eye hook so I don't flash the world next time.

Bring your sticky tape!
This was a show stopper! Definitely needed to tape the chest area. It was fine standing up but sitting down would have been boobs everywhere!! I was concerned about wearing yellow with my coloring. It has a tinge if green so it looked great! Perfect for my cruise

Gorgeous!
As other reviews mention, the fabric is stunning. The white is actually silver. Pulled a little across my stomach/hip area so I may have been a little more comfortable sizing up. Not sure if that would help the pockets lie flat. Overall a winner!

Runs a little big
This was a European 12/US 8. I had to wear a navy scarf around the waist since it was too big. I'm going to size down next time. Will definitely rent again. Received so many complements!

Comfy but tight in the hips
Very light and comfortable. My husband helped with the tie in the back. I felt it was a little tight in the hips although it did stretch out a little after wearing all night.

Super comfy material. I just felt a little self conscious around the belly area. If I lose a few pounds I will definitely try it again!

Not the most flattering
Love the idea of this dress. The waistline was too blousy and the high hem in the front was not the best look. I think someone tall, thin and amazing legs would look amazing!

Fun and flattering!
The 10 fit with a little extra room. I ended up wearing the 8 to give the girls a little more support. Not able to wear a bra. I tried a sports bra, but would have been worried about the straps all night. I'm just under 5'9" and probably could have gotten away with the 8R. The 8L was a few inches too long wearing flats (I never wear heels!) but I would prefer too long over too short. Maybe next time I'll try the R length. Will definitely order again. Great for a hot and humid summer wedding day!

Fit well just not my style
This dress fit my pear shape and was true to size. Just not super flattering with the one shoulder. I have not worn a one shoulder before.

Wanted to love this
Loved the color and cut. Like many other reviews stated the straps were too long and not adjustable. If I owned this dress and would totally have it altered and rock this!

I wore this to a formal industry event. The dress is super comfortable and the gold dots take it to a higher level. Love the neckline (I like the girls to distract from the wrinkles! LOL) I will totally rent this again!

Nice punch of color and comfortable
After reading the reviews i thought i might be comfortable in the small. Too much holiday eating proved me wrong! The medium still hung on my hips/rear (thanks Mom for the genes of a large butt!) I wore with tights, boots and a jacket to see John Oliver stand up show. I would rent again (anytime you give me pockets, I'm in love!)

Um. No.
Not sure how the stylist thought a straight dress would be a good replacement dress for a woman with a pear shape! Couldn't even get it over my hips.
