Easy breezy
Loved this dress! I wore it to a July rooftop NYC wedding, so I was planning on it being hot. This dress was great because it wasn’t clingy and I didn’t need any crazy undergarments, and having small boobs I was able to wear pasties and no bra. It was super soft and comfortable. The back was lower on me than the model, but I liked it. There was no fussing and fearing of nipping slips, the sides covered great. I had a baby last year and I don’t like things clinging to my belly right now, so the way this draped in the front plus the low back made me feel good in my skin! (Currently a little bigger than my fit profile, like 133lbs). Wore the Small. Lots of compliments.

Flashy but not over the top
I loved this dress and felt great in it. The fabric is really pretty in person and beautifully shimmery. The cut out is fun but not too revealing. Lots of compliments! It’s hard to get in and out if since it’s really like two separate pieces. And it was a bit long on me — ankle length, which is longer than it looks on the model. (Sorry I didn’t get a better photo for that.) I was originally planning on wearing sequin booties with it, but that looked really weird since you couldn’t see my ankles. I went with a pointed toe stiletto. And it dyed my armpits pink! I think the fabric might have reacted with my deodorant. But I still loved the dress and felt great it and I was happy with my choice.

Classic, sexy, cool, didn't want to send it back!
I adored this dress. So much so that I got on the RTR site to see if buying it and not sending it back was possible, oh well! I am sure that I will be renting this dress again or buying it somewhere. It was a great combo of sexy but covered and appropriate, and special but not showy. I feel that it could be worn for so many different types of events and seasons, depending on how you accessorize it. I wore it for a wedding rehearsal, and unfortunately didn't get a photo. I paired it with black wedges, a shimmery gold half sleeve blazer, and a black choker necklace. I'm just under 5'6", 115 lbs, and 32B. I wore the XS. I have small hips and small breasts and I would say I wouldn't have wanted the hips to be tighter (it was just right), and the top was roomy (but I liked it that way.)

Black Smooth Wrap Dress
ST by Olcay Gulsen
Size Worn: XS
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 125lbs
Bust: 32B
Fuss free, high impact
I loved this dress! The fit was beautiful. As a small 32B, I opted for no bra (just pasties), which was so nice. I'm just under 5'6" and it was the perfect length with a 3.5 inch heel. I ordered the 0R with a 2R as backup and actually tried the 2 on first and thought it was great, but the 0 fell nicer, fit better on top, and was just slightly shorter, making it the better choice. It was perfectly appropriate for a black tie wedding, but still had a not-too-dressy cool feel. I got compliments from my fiancé, the wedding photographer, and the bride! So I think it was a success :) also, all the bridesmaids are inspired to try RTR now!

Great dress, first RTR experience amazing!
The dresses ( the size I ordered and the alternate size) arrived on time. The packaging dress bag it comes in is awesome. The dresses both looked brand new. I got so many compliments! I have worn and own a lot of BCBG and the size I thought would fit me based on other things of theirs I've worn did fit perfectly. I just packaged the dress up to ship back and it couldn't be easier. I'll be doing this way more often.
