I wore this to a holiday symphony event for my husband's company. This had the perfect mix of classy and comfort. The lace is incredibly soft and everything stays in place like it should. I didn't have any concerns about the girls coming out even though I didn't wear a bra - 34C btw. I would say I have broader than normal shoulders and a shorter torso so I was worried about the fit through my shoulders and neck but everything was perfect. Would be great for a wedding during the colder months, the theater, or a date night out. 100% recommend this dress!

Unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of this one but it fit really well everywhere. The lace is quite thick which allowed the dress to smooth things out nicely but it was a little bit rough to the touch. I loved the train in the back! It took this dress from simple and classy to fun and classy. I wore it to the theater and it was a great look for that scene. I even got compliments from the bartenderess. Definitely recommend this one.

The dress itself is beautiful - great colors and well-made, soft fabric. My issue was that the waistband was waayy too tight. I am a size 6, sometimes can manage a 4, and I couldn't zip this over my rib-cage. Even if I had managed to suck it in just a little more the combination of the tight waistband and fitted hip area caused a big bunching/pooch area across my midsection that was definitely not attractive. This was my back-up option for a wedding so I didn't have the next size up to try - an 8 or 10 may have alleviated my problems but I can't be sure. Beautiful dress, especially if you have more of a straight body-type, but if you try it make sure and size up!!

I loved the look of this dress with all the fun lace cut-outs! I'm often between a 4 and 6 and all that was available was the 6. I found it to fit like a glove so it likely runs a little on the smaller side. Also, bc it hugs all your curves any underwear lines will be visible. I tried my most barely there options and still want quite convinced that you couldn't see evidence of them. I didn't have any spanx and didn't want to go full commando though so I risked it. I still got many compliments and felt very sexy all night!

I thought this ring was a fun, inexpensive addition to my party outfit. Great to jazz things up a little!

I wore this as the Godmother for a Baptism and it was pretty perfect! I went with my usual size small and it fit great so I never even tried the medium on. I paired it with black tights and booties since it was snowing out. It looks really short on the model but if you are average height or shorter than the length will be more mid-thigh or just above the knee. I got so many complements and I loved the colors!!

As many other reviewers noted this runs slightly small in the hips but larger in the shoulders/bust area. I am typically a size 4 and I fit into the 4 on this one but it pulled just a little more than I wanted at my hips and across my belly so I decided to size up. That made the top a little large but not too much that I didn't want to wear it. One strategic safety pin from the bottom of the keyhole to my nubra to keep it from shifting down and exposing the bra did the trick! I am fairly straight through the hips so if you have any hips at all plan on sizing up one. Overall a good choice though!

Loved the floral print on this dress. The texture of the material is different but gives the dress even more character. The fabric is lightweight and has a little stretch to it so it was great for dancing at a summer wedding. Lots of compliments on this one and would definitely recommend! The 4 fit perfectly in most places but was a tiny bit big in the shoulders/chest which is not unusual - straps are always a bit long in me. It wasn't a problem overall though it kept me from even trying on my backup size 6 so I'm not sure on the variability between sizes.

Loved this dress!! I wish I had more events to wear it to while I had it. We ended up going to a matinee instead of an evening show so it was probably a little too fancy for the show but I felt gorgeous and got multiple compliments so I didn't really care in the end! The train was a tad long on me with about 3" heels so I had to be careful on stairs but not so much that it was a real hassle for the night. I don't usually like one-shoulder designs because they make my shoulders look too broad but this one didn't have that effect. The colors are also bright and beautiful - I definitely recommend this one!

The dress fit nicely and was more flattering on then I managed to capture in the picture. True to size and a little scratchy under the arms but not a deal breaker. The cut out in the back was fun and sexy! Unfortunately I had to schedule the delivery on the same day as I needed the dress. I wasn't worried about it since all of my previous deliveries showed up well before the 8pm promise time but of course in this case it didn't make it to my doorstep until 8:20pm and we had to head to the theater for Hamilton before it arrived. I recommend this dress and also to heed the RTR warning to have it delivered a day before needed, otherwise it's not worth the risk and wasted money.

I chose this as my backup dress since it's tough to go wrong with a little black dress for date night. This one didn't disappoint. It was a snug but comfortable fit and hid imperfections in the mid-section nicely. Only downside was that the silky liner allowed the outside layer to slip up some when sitting or walking so I had to pull it down on occasion and after standing up.

This dress may work well for someone with no hips or thighs and huge boobs but unfortunately I have average boobs and above average thighs. I could barely get the the bottom half on and didn't come close to filling out the top half. Disappointing but I guess they can't all be a perfect fit so I went with my backup option which was a more simple and predictable style.

I didnt wear this dress bc the gala I went to was emerald themed and my friends convinced me to wear my emerald color back-up (which was also gorgeous!) I wish I could've worn them both! This one didnt have much of a size difference between the 4 and 6 but I would've gone with the 6 for the little extra eating room. The fabric was soft, it was easy to move in, and the length was great for me with 3" heels. I would have chosen this one if the theme had been different!

This gown was nicely form-fitting and hugged all the curves the rigt way. I'm typically a 4 and the 4 was snug enough that i couldnt zop it all the way with a strapless bra so i went without. It was my backup dress so I didnt have the 6 to try. There was enough support though that my B-C cup didn't really need the bra. I'm 5'3" and the length was just a tad too long with 3" heels on. I snagged the lining a handful of times with my heel but it was only a minor nuisance. The sequins under the arms are a little on the scratchy side - also only a minor problem. Over-all I really loved the dress and apparently I wasn't the only one as two other ladies at the Emerald- themed gala wore the same dress! I don't know how often that happens but maybe RTR can figure out a way to notify you if other people in your area have rented the same dress for the same time period?
