Oh so itchy and super short
Unfortunately these did not work for me. There is no lining and they are literally made of tiny sequins (somehow I didn't realize this from the description). Because there is no lining, it felt like the sequins were poking through and scratching my legs. Also, they came up to my mid calf! I'm 5'8" with relatively long legs but cmon. That's crazy. Overall I'm disappointed. I suppose if you have short legs and no skin sensitivity to being scratched, these would work out great for you as they are pretty snazzy looking.

Beautiful and unique
This top is gorgeous and perfect for going out to dinner as it is not form fitting! The black trim detail and lace work is exquisite. The one issue I had with this top though is that the lining stuck out underneath at the hem...it should have been just half an inch shorter. If I had had more time I would have taken it up myself... I found this to be odd for a $400 top. RTR maybe you could shorten it for the next girl :)

The color! The ruffle! The high slit!
This runs true to size.... I'm actually 10 lbs heavier than normal so 5'8 140lbs And the 6 fit perfectly. I will say that the slit is high and when sitting it's good to have a napkin or clutch in your lap. The material isn't as thick as it looks and I could see the top band of my spanx through the dress but probably no one else noticed. The color is beautiful and this dress really highlights curves. I loved wearing it.

Beautiful thick material but so tight!
This is a very well made, expensive looking top but I had some serious fit issues with it. It was so tight on my arms I couldn't even move to zip it up. It was very tight in the chest as well. Overall it just looked weird. I wouldn't recommend renting it.

This is more of a Chartreuse color than a true bright yellow
I didn't end up choosing this dress to wear despite the fact that my husband liked it better than my other option. I felt that it's length was a little awkward on me and the color didn't go with my olive skin tone...plus I'm about 10lbs heavier than normal (remaining 4th baby weight) and I did not like how this dress looked on me from the back...

Way too short for a 5'8" gal with long legs
I wish I had listened to other reviewers. If you are tall or leggy, this dress is incredibly short. It barely covered my rear. Also I didn't find it to be as forgiving as some other reviewers did. I'm typically a size 4, which fit but was right. I could have probably worn a 6. Ended up wearing something else. The color is definitely beautiful and the details are beautiful and as everyone know, rtr is truly the best. This dress just didn't do it for me.

Didn't wear...too small
I ordered the 40L because people had said that there was a lot of give to this jumpsuit...well, for me, the 40L was way too small. It was painful at my shoulders and honestly too short at the bottom. I will say that this material is rich and thick, almost scuba-like. The pant legs are unfinished but that is almost unnoticeable. In the right size this pant suit would be amazing. I think you could go down one size, but probably not 2 sizes like I tried to do!! Good luck!

This dress was unflattering to my figure
The neck and arm holes in this dress are tight and because the bib portion isn't fitted, it was veer unflattering. The colors are vibrant and beautiful, and it is definitely long enough, but the fit just didn't work for me.

Photo doesn't do it justice!
As other reviewers have said, this dress does run small. I am 5 foot 8 130 lbs and ordered the small and medium as a back up. The small was very tight but the medium had buckling seams so I wen t with the small. Spanx is a must with this dress because although it is a thick almost scuba like material, it still shows everything. The dress is a beautiful, vibrant color and the material is very rich and thick. I have muscular arms so the sleeves were especially tight on me. Other than that, this dress is beautiful and fun and flirty. I debated wearing nude pumps but ended up with the white wedges that you see in the picture because they highlighted the pearl necklace that I wore and the wedding was outside on grass so wedges were better than stilettos.

Great dress all around, but especially if you have a little BUMP :)
I ordered this dress in the 6 and 8 and the 6 fit much better. I'm 15 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby so I am already showing but didn't want to announce my pregnancy at this wedding. This dress was perfectly suited to hide a small bump since the fitted part fell slightly above my natural waist. The pockets were amazing and this dress was so much fun to dance in. The slight length difference in the back was great for bending over. My experience with RTR was so great that I seriously cannot wait to use them again. Just one request: get more maternity-friendly dresses PLEASE!!!!
