My second wedding dress!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Please rent this dress- I want everyone to enjoy it as much as I did. I wore this at my wedding reception (In Mexico) and had so much fun. So many compliments on this little party number! I am usually between a 6 and 8 and the 6 fit well. You have to wear sticky boobs with it because the back is so low but it worked out well. Overall- LOVED IT!

Beautiful color
I ordered this for my bridal shower but it ended up being way too formal for the occasion. The dress itself is gorgeous! The fit was perfect (runs true to size) but the length was a little longer than anticipated. This is a high-low style which I wasn't really expecting. The skirt is pretty bulky/flowy which makes it very forgiving on the pooch region. I would recommend this for a more formal affair.

Ordered this for my bridal shower
I didn't end up wearing this because it was way too small. I am usually a size 6, but I had trouble zipping up the 6 in this dress. It's a cute dress- the material is thick and the lines are sort of a frayed fabric but in the end I should have ordered a bigger size.

Never ended up wearing this
I rented this for a wedding but did not end up wearing it. I am usually between a 6 and an 8- I ordered the 8 and it was noticeably too big. I would recommend ordering a size down. I love the style it just didn't work out for me.

Rented for a wedding but did not wear
I got this dress as a backup but did not wear it because the 8R was way too big (I am usually in between a 6 and an 8) I got a 6L in a different cape dress which worked perfectly. This is a gorgeous dress though.

Wore this to a wedding!
I loved this dress- received tons of compliments on the cape and color! I had a few issues with it though: It arrived with two tears in it (one on the shoulder where the cape meets the gown and one at the bottom from others stepping on it) and the cape was heavy and long making it difficult to dance. Size wise I am usually in between a 6 and an 8 but the 8 was way too big on me. The 6L was perfect with my 4 inch heels. Overall it's a beautiful dress but RTR needs to pay more attention to the condition of the dress before shipping it out.

Wore this at my bachelorette party in Las Vegas
Loved this dress! Probably my favorite out of the three I rented for my bachelorette party. The black is flattering and the material is stretchy. I am between a 6 and an 8 so I went with the medium and it worked out well. It's not too short, however the top is very low cut. Some people were complaining about their boobs falling out but I have a small chest so no problems there! (Excuse the bathroom photo here- but I needed a full shot. The white tag on the shoulder was not part of the dress)

Wore this for my bachelorette party in Las Vegas
Loved this dress- very stretchy, thick material. I am usually between a size 6 and 8 so I went with the Medium and it worked out well. It was definitely a little short (I'm 5'7" and I wore 4 inch heels) but on shorter people it probably wouldn't be a problem. Also, in Vegas short dresses are standard so I blended in. Definitely recommend this dress!

Wore this to my bachelorette party in Las Vegas
I am in between a size 6 and an 8 (6 on top, 8 on the bottom). I went with a size 8 because the reviews said it ran small and I'm happy I did! This was so tight, I never would have fit into the 6. I wore spanx which worked out well because white is an unforgiving color. If you are self-conscious about your mid section this might not be the best dress for you (unless you rely heavily on spanx like I do!) I did not need to wear a bra with this. Overall very happy with how it worked out. The only downside is that the color was a little "dingy"- you could tell it had been worn and washed multiple times.
