Beautiful dress, runs a bit big and long
I got tons of compliments on this dress and was perfect to match my hunter green bridal party. The velvet detail was exquisite and I got lots of compliments. The only issue was the sizing. Thankfully the straps were adjustable but the dress does run a bit large. I’m generally a small but the small in this dress was so big I was worried the XS wouldn’t fit either. It did fit thankfully although there was still a bit of room. Perhaps it’s made for someone with more hips/tits. I’m also 5’2 so it was coming right above my ankle. I would have like it to be a bit shorter because I very much needed to wear extra high high heels to make it look the right length. Overall I did love the dress and would recommend you go for it!

Be the Bell of the Ball with this Gown
I rented this dress for a black tie gala. I was super happy with the results and got compliments all night (and days after) about how great I looked. I was originally going to get the 2/4 but after reading other reviews opted to get the 0/2 and I'm very glad I did. the 2R was way too big (I'm 5'2 125 34B) I was not at all busty enough to fill out the 2 and it looked droopy. The 0R fit like a glove! I wore a sticky bra and had zero trouble with it all night. My only issue was that the dress was WAY too long for me at 5'2. I would have gotten the P but it was not available. I ended up taping up about 2 inches of dress in the front and was wearing very high high heels. Over all though, I was actually very comfortable all night long and felt like the bell of the ball.

This is the second time I've rented this dress because it's so good!
I rented this for another wedding two years ago and got just as many compliments this time around. It does fit a bit small, the 2 was very tight and made me look like I was popping out of the cut outs (for reference I rented another dress the same weekend and was a 0). That plus the lining on the 2 was too long for the dress and the zipper was sticky (probably too many true two's trying to squeeze into it). The 4 fit like a glove (I'm 5'2 125 34B). I opted to wear a sticky bra so nothing would slip out and was very happy with how comfortable and flattering this dress is. It's VERY bright in color but nothing wrong with standing out in a crowd!

Perfect Summer Dress
I rented this very last minute for my bachelorette party - we were doing a wine tour so were going to be outside all day. The dress fit perfectly and was very comfortable. The only issue was that the straps kept coming off my shoulders. I felt pretty and loved every minute in this dress. As a plus it made my boobs look huge lol

Absolutely Amazing
I have NEVER had more compliments on an outfit then this one. I got compared to Taylor Swift and told I was very Sex in the City. Everyone loved it and I felt amazing. The fit was perfect (it did have a bit of give with an elastic waist - longer than I was expecting but I'm only 5'2). I'm so glad the stylist recommended this look. Perfection!!

Absolutely Amazing
I have NEVER had more compliments on an outfit then this one. I got compared to Taylor Swift and told I was very Sex in the City. Everyone loved it and I felt amazing. The fit was perfect (think skinny arm though because your arms might rub on the sequins). I'm so glad the stylist recommended this look. Perfection!!

Loved this Dress!
Really loved this dress. It was a bit hard to get over my head but once it was on it was amazing. The fabric is really flattering and so comfy. I was able to dance all night without any worries. I would definitely recommend this dress and got lots of compliments. I love the pattern!!

Perfect for a Night on the Town
I wore this to and Old Hollywood themed bachelorette party and it was a hit. I got so many compliments on the dress and it photographed perfectly. Both the 2 and the 4 fit but the 4 was a more relaxed fit which I ultimately liked better. I've used RTR many times before especially for weddings and they have never let me down (except once but it was 100% fixed in the end). Because I live in NYC I love going to the RTR showrooms and trying on dresses before my events. The last time I went I picked out three - this one and two others for two more weddings. The stylist are so good at recommending things that I would never pick for myself but absolutely love. I'm hooked on RTR.
