Perfect NYE dress
Perfect look for a NYE wedding! The sequin detail on this dress is beautiful quality. This dress has an open back, so I used a backless sticky bra. I wear a size 2/4 in dresses & found the small to be very tight, esp in the arms which is strange for me - so be aware there is no stretch to the dress because of the beading. I found the medium to be more comfortable. It is short but not too short if your tall like me 5'8". The dress does ride up when dancing or walking but not really an issue.

Pretty color but too tight
The color was pretty and liked the neckline. But the fit was weird. The chest was too big and the hips too tight. I always wear a small and there was no way I could be comfortable in this. I could zip it up, but it was super tight In the hips . If you are narrower on bottom and bigger chest, this will fit you well.

Pretty color but didn't end up wearing
Pretty dress and the small fit great. I didn't wear it though because the lining underneath wasn't long enough for me (I'm tall 5'8" ) and it barely covered. The lace over top was long enough though (right above the knee) which was weird that the lining was as short as it was. I would of been uncomfortable to wear this and dance at a wedding with the lining as short as it was

Edgy and comfortable! Perfect for a wedding on a cold day!
I loved this dress! So many compliments! 38R is a size 2. Fit perfectly. The material is surprisingly soft despite having the metallic accent. The arms & chest area are sheer so even though this dress is more "covered up" than I usually wear, it still had an edgy & sexy look to it. I wore the sticky pasties since you can't wear a bra with this style. I am tall 5'8" & the dress was slightly longer than expected (below the knee). Wish I had a full length pic of the dress bc I loved it so much!

Great color, easy to wear
I rented this for a fall baptism and it was perfect! The length was conservative enough for church but the neckline and billowy sleeves made it fun. I loved the deep purple color of this dress. It was very comfortable to wear and warm enough for November.

Nice dress
Fit was great. The style was easy to wear. I didn't end up wearing it to the event because I went with something else. But this would be a great dress to wear out to dinner on a vacation or casual summer party. The print was a little mature for me which is why I wasn't wowed by it. I prefer a little more color

Pretty in yellow
Great fit, love the eyelet fabric. Perfect for a boho themed summer party. I usually don't wear yellow, but this was a very pretty golden yellow (not neon) so it was very flattering on (esp with a tan). It was comfortable but flattering . Received a lot of compliments

A lot of fabric on the bottom
I got this dress as a last min back up so it wasn't something I would usually chose. I liked the halter top and the fit through the hips. But I am not a fan of asymmetrical bottoms and this had a lot of fabric in the bottom part of the dress. I am tall 5'8" and can usually pull off tea length styles. but it was still overwhelming . I can't imagine a shorter person being able to wear it. Overall not a fan

Very short
Didn't get to wear this dress because the length was way too short on me (I'm 5'8") . Would be better for someone shorter

Perfect LBD for my birthday
I rented this dress for my birthday dinner. I loved the fabric of the dress as it is on the thicker side but still has stretch. I also loved the bell sleeve and sheer details on the neckline and sides! The length was perfect for me being 5'8" , it wasn't too short. I️ usually wear a small or size 4 from RTR but this dress felt as if it ran on the smaller side. The small also had a tear in the seam on the hip so I had to wear the medium. The medium fit better in the hips on me but the upper arms and waist were loose. If the small didn't have the defect I would have worn that one, but it still looked great anyway. Definitely a great dress for the fall/ winter season

Standout style
This dress was super flattering on and I felt great wearing it. I received so many compliments throughout the evening. Pros are the color is beautiful, it's very fashionable, the quality is beautiful. The cons are the sheer part on the bottom comes up very high, so if your tall like me it is a little revealing. Also it's uncomfortable to sit in as the part around your neck pulls and felt so tight. The arms are very fitted so if you have larger arms this may not fit. Otherwise I really loved this dress but wish it was a little more comfortable to wear.

Great dress to show off your figure!
My favorite dress from RTR ever! Not only was it form fitting and was very flattering on my body, it was a stretchy material and comfortable to wear! The pattern of the sequins accentuated my curves and it was long enough to hit my knees (I'm 5'8"). I received many compliments on this dress throughout the evening and felt like a million bucks! The best part was my husband's reaction when he saw me in this dress! When I put it back in the bag to return it he said " I'm going to miss that dress"! Lol! I may have to rent it again I loved it so much!

Don't try it unless you have a larger chest
I saw most of the reviewers who wore this had a lot of cleavage to fill out the top of the dress. Being im only a 34B/32C, I got this dress based on the picture of the model (who doesn't have a large chest) thinking it would look like that on my figure. I got the small and x-small since I wear a 2 or 4 in dresses depending on the brand. The small fit perfect in my hips and arms but was too big in the chest. Even with a padded bra on i didn't fill out the top, and you really need to fill it out to prevent it from moving and shifting. The x-small fit perfect in my chest, but was then way too tight in the arms and hips. I was very disappointed and had to return without wearing. I'm sure this could be a stunner on the right body type.

Fit is slightly off
Loved the color and style of this dress but was a little disappointed with the fit. For some reason it made my hips look wide and was short on me in length. I loved the top half but there was just something off with the fit in the bottom half. Not one of my favorites from RTR

Beautiful color and design
I ordered this dress for a wedding. I usually wear a size 2 or 4 and ended up wearing the 2. It was slightly big in the waist and I probably should of gotten a 0 and a 2 instead. It still looked and felt great on despite the fit not being perfect. The color blue stood out and the pattern on the Dress was flattering and was very different. I received a ton of compliments not only from other guests at the wedding, but of friends that saw pictures as well! This dress would be perfect in the spring/summer with strappy heels or with nude shimmer pumps for fall/winter.

A dress that truely stands out
I rented this dress for a summer night wedding. I rented the 2 and the 4 and ended up wearing the 2 as it fit like a glove! the 4 was too big in my chest/waist. The material is on the thicker side which is great to hide lines, but I can see how the other reviews said the material is warm if you are outside on a hot day. For an indoor night event; however, it was perfect! I got sooo many compliments as the color is gorgeous and the dress is sexy and classy at the same time. It really stood out in the sea of boring neutral or dark color dresses worn by others. I felt so confident and comfortable in this dress! The only negative , as other reviews said, the lining was a little long and kept peaking out from under the hem so I pinned the lining slightly up inside the bottom of the dress and didn't have an issue all night. I highly recommend renting this dress !
