Perfect 80s Dress!
I wore this for an 80s-themed work holiday party and it was perfect - it still had a holiday/cocktail party vibe but the ruffle, bright color and puffy sleeves gave it just the right bit of 80s flare. The fabric is soft and sleek and very comfortable. It was pretty true to size but very short!

Elegant and Flattering!
I wore this for a formal wedding and it was a fantastic rental. The seams and cut of the dress are extremely flattering and the material is thick enough to hide lines from a bra or shapewear, as well as adding some warmth. You do need to stand up straight or the sleeves tended look a little big/awkward, since they aren't sewn all the way around. As others have said, the dress is very fitted does run small - I am normally a 4 and the 8 was the most comfortable. I am 5'8" and the long JUST met the ground in 3" heels - it looked like it was custom hemmed! I would recommend for any event where you want to look elegant and understated.

Comfortable and eye-catching!
Loved this festive dress for a casino-themed holiday party! The inside fabric was soft, stretchy and thick so it was super comfortable to wear all night. It was a great combo of modest and sexy, and got tons of compliments on what a gorgeous dress it was. Sometimes I find sequined or beaded dresses can be itchy or uncomfortable but this wasn't that way at all. It does run very small (luckily the L fit because RTR did not send me the M size I ordered - this was my backup!) and I found myself pulling it down a few times during the night to keep it from feeling too short, but overall I would definitely recommend.

Garden Party
I rented this for an outdoor, evening garden party and it was absolutely perfect! Floral, but not too overdone, and a little bit modern. The fabric is so silky and comfortable, and the fit is extremely flattering. Other reviewers are right, it does run large, especially in the bust. I am normally a size 4 and C or D cup, and after wearing the XS I think the S would have even been too big. I only wished the straps had been adjustable so it could be tightened a bit around that area, but otherwise it was fabulous. I got tons of compliments and was so sad to take it off and return it! Definitely one I would rent again.

The perfect party skirt!
I wore this for my company's holiday party and loved it! Tons of compliments all night from friends and strangers. It was the perfect combo of fun and elegant for a festive occasion, and easy to throw on with a simple fitted black shirt. I am normally a size 4 and the small fit great, but keep in mind the skirt is meant to fit around the waist, not the hips, so it sits a little high. The waistband zips so there is no give. I also had to pin the top two layers in the back after I put it on - they are separated so you can get to the zipper, except it leaves an opening where you can see the nude-colored lining, which looked really odd. Otherwise it was a great piece - I would rent again!

Flowy and comfortable!
I went a little out of my comfort zone with this dress and was so glad I did! This dress was so feminine and comfortable to wear for an outdoor/barn wedding in Kentucky, and several people - even guys! - complimented it. The dress runs mostly true to size except in the bust - I am a large C cup and had to size up to a 6 from my usual 4 so it would cover everything. I'm 5' 8" but I wore flats, so the Long was actually too long, but not enough to be problematic. I danced all night long in it!

Elegant and colorful!
I previously rented a dress with a similar cut that I was extremely happy with so I gave this one a shot for another outdoor not-too-formal wedding. The color was perfect, the dress packed really well without wrinkling and I got a number of compliments that evening. Unfortunately the fabric was much more stiff and chiffon-y than the picture showed so it felt much too formal than I'd hoped for. There is boning in the top part and although one side was flexible and didn't bother me, the other side jabbed into my chest all night and was quite uncomfortable. I also have a larger chest but a very thin waist, and this dress didn't accentuate that but instead made me look a bit bigger than I am. Overall it was fine, but not a favorite.

Sexy & conservative all in one dress!
I ended up really loving this dress more than I thought I would. I wore this to my boyfriend's company holiday party and as dumb as it sounds, this dress is seriously "business in the front, party in the back." The front was conservative and classy enough to meet his co-workers, the back was sexy and added a ton of fun to the look of the dress. The fabric was lined and a little heavy - perfect for a cold night. The fit definitely runs on the small side, as others have said; I am often a size 4 in clothes, and the size 4 did fit like a glove and moved comfortably, but had it been an inch smaller anywhere it would have been too tight. The dress length can make it tricky when selecting shoes - nothing seemed to go quite right. I'm tall, and it still went JUST past the knee. Ended up wearing low heeled strappy sandals, but didn't love that look with it. The dress was also complicated to put on - the strap across the back is sewn on one side and has 3 hooks (adjustable like a bra) on the other side, but you basically have to put the dress ON with the hooks hooked - it is impossible to hook them once the dress is on because of where the hooks are located - and pulling it over my chest while hooked was not easy (plus they kept wanting to come UN-hooked during that process). Still, once it was on, it was extremely comfortable to wear all night and I felt fantastic about the way it looked on my body - it's very slimming and flattering. Would rent it again!

My boyfriend told me he couldn't keep his eyes off me all evening!
This dress was supremely comfortable, the fabric was soft and moved beautifully, it fit like a dream and looked stunning; it's very figure-flattering, slimming in the chest (for large-busted women like me!) and at the waist and not too tight or awkward in any way. I didn't want to take it off at the end of the evening, nor did I want to return it! Several women came up and asked where I got the dress and my boyfriend still tells me how amazing it looked, weeks after the event. There's a reason it looked amazing on everyone in their photos - it really was a fantastic rental!! Couldn't have asked for a better selection. I wore it with flats and the length was just right.
