runs large! but loved it that way
wore to a baby shower and wanted a comfortable dress I could pump in at some point (it's very stretchy) and this was perfect. very cute and great quality

couldn't wear, not for people with a chest
I don't consider myself 'huge' chested but this is for people on the smaller side (like the models body type). looked horrible on me would only suggest for women who look like the model

fits exactly the way the picture is, but is long
Loved this dress for a baby shower. I'm 5'2'' and wore flats and was okay most of the time, only trouble was walking up stairs and almost tripped on the dress once. otherwise, loved it. very comfortable for a postpartum body and loved how it looked on me

nice winter wedding dress
i'm not normally a blue dress person but this dress worked very well on me (similar skin tone to the model). it's very cute and different because the flowers/design are 3D, like material coming off the dress (i hope i explained that correctly). It's very nice and the darker colors made it perfect for a winter wedding

runs extremely small, couldn't wear :(
i love red dresses and wanted to wear this over my main one's chosen but it was crazy small for a 10. i'll probably try again with a much larger size.

wore for gatsby bday, very cute!
this dress is stretchy!!! it's perfect for drinking and dancing in. it does drape heavily as shown on the model, so if you don't like that possible 'frumpy' look then don't get it. but it comes as pictured! i loved it. so easy to move it and was perfect for the Gatsby theme.

cute but did not fit
unfortunately this dress did not fit so i couldn't wear it. But trying it on (as much as i could zip up), it was very cute. I'd order again a size up for a summer/spring wedding.

obsessed with this dress
probably my favorite ever RTR. I marked it as 'small' because there is NO stretch in that top part. i was self conscious of the back-fat coming out of the squeezed in part but after 3 drinks i stopped caring. upside of the tightness is that it sucks you in and gives more shape. i hate tight around belly dresses so this was perfect for me and i felt very elegant. received lots of compliments from ladies and gents. it is as long as it looks so get petite if you're 5'2'' like me or wear high heels.

gorgeous and elegant!
i absolutely loved this dress. i'm self conscious of belly in dresses and this eases all of those fears while still being stunning. The flourished front design looks just the same in person, elevates from a regular navy dress to a special one. would wear again!

great dress, zipper sucks
the only real complaint was that the zipper is awful. Every where there's a material change or stitch along the back, it would get stuck (and no the dress wasn't too tight on me). However, once on, it was so pretty. I wore it to the ceremony of a wedding and my friends loved it, very appropriate for a church. I carry my weight in my stomach, so i hate tight dresses, but this was perfect and flattering. I wore a black bra underneath and it just looked like part of the dress, but if you have a larger chest, it's not necessary. Would definitely rent again!

awesome dress, very pretty and flattering!
really loved this dress and got a lot of compliments! i have a wider middle area so this dress was perfect for me to hide that. I'm 5'2'' and it wasn't too long or touched the ground. Unfortunately i forgot to take a full length photo but the model photo is pretty accurate to how to fits the body. Would definitely rent again.

great dress, super comfy!
There's no stretch but none is needed as it's loose. Wore this for a summer wedding and was very happy with it, received a lot of compliments! Great to sit or dance in. Recommend for anyone trying to hide unwanted flab, etc.

really cute dress, snug fit
this dress was super cute. I didn't realize the top part is really a mini jacket over the tank top dress, so it's great because it gives options on how to wear it. I wore it to a summer wedding and it was perfect. The material is not stretchy at all, so be aware of your size choice.

heavy, uncomfortable material. not made for curvy women
didn't wear this dress. rented it for a wedding in Mexico and the material was way to heavy for the weather. My hips sit high so the band in the middle made me look huge. It's a pretty dress, just not for my body type

pretty dress, but not made for curvy girls
I last minute switched my sizes up and so glad I did or I wouldn't have been able to wear it. This definitely runs small, by A LOT. I'm short and have high hip bone, so the dress was tight and scrunched up in the back. I had my hair down so hopefully that covered it but i also just didn't care. There is absolutely no stretch. Like I said in the title, this dress was not made to hug curves. At the wedding I received compliments and was happy with the final look. With this dress, beauty is pain.

great dress for black tie wedding
Rented this for a black tie wedding and it was great for the most part. Only complaint was the hook to close the zipper was missing, so I noticed that the dress didn't look fully zipped but my friends said it was fine. I alerted RTR to this so hopefully they'll fix for the next wearer. Other than that the dress fit great, it's flowy but the underskirt is tighter and also forgiving. No matter what boob size you are, get fashion tape for this dress. I read previous reviews and it was definitely needed. I decided to use a strapless, backless bra and it worked fine but had to tape the front to cover some of the bra and so too much cleavage wouldn't show. I'm short and wore an 8R so my 3 inch heels worked, but the dress did snag a couple times.

Do not rent if you are below 5'6''
I do not have a picture for this dress because I tried it on for 30 seconds. I'm only 5'2'', so I should've realized the dress might look funny compared to a model several inches taller and 20 lbs lighter than I, but I was a giant purple marshmellow. it's a very pretty dress, just beware it is definitely not for all sizes and shapes.

Nice dress, stretchy, do not wear if you are uncomfortable with cleavage!
this dress was a backup for another dress i rented that didn't look right on me. when i put it on i immediately felt self conscious about my cleavage. my friends kept saying i looked "fine", and i had no other choice so what was i going to do, oh well. it's stretchy, and very easy to move it, which a huge plus for the always on the dance floor at weddings people like myself, but again i felt like i might come out of my dress if i got to crazy with the cha cha slide. rent at your own risk busty ladies. as for the length, i felt it was perfect because i'm 5'2'' and with 2-3 inch heels, the dress was not dragging at all. i wouldn't rent it again for a wedding because of the boob situation.

the dress made me look great. was perfect for my black tie wedding. very simple and elegant.
the dress was a perfect fit. i have a thicker body and the dress made my curves look great. the stretchy fabric made it easy to dance in all night. i'm also short 5'2'', and the regular fit was fine, my heels weren't that tall maybe 3 inches, and i had no trouble moving around. the only con i could see was that if you don't have big boobs the top of the dress wouldn't be flattering for you.
