Too long
If you are tall and/or willing to wear heels, then you should definitely rent this dress! It is a beautiful maxi wrap dress, and looked awesome on top, but unfortunately it was way too long for me. I am 5'7" and would have needed at least 3" heels to wear it, without it dragging on the floor. Fortunately I had a backup dress that I loved and was able to wear instead.

So pretty and flowy! Obsessed
I am obsessed with this dress! It can be dressed up with a shawl or cardigan, or dressed down with a jean jacket. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner and then also out to a bar afterwards. It is more low-cut than I am used to, but it was not overly revealing, and the adjustable straps were super helpful. I was worried that it would be too tight around the ribcage, but the XS was perfect, and it was super flowy around the belly so I could eat as much as I wanted :) You cannot wear a bra with this dress, but I would recommend Daisies or something similar. I felt so pretty in this dress and would definitely rent it again.

Pretty pattern but weird fit
I was unfortunately unable to wear this dress. It is nearly completely straight down with no stretch. The XS was tight in the hips and weirdly baggy in the waist. I also couldn't figure out how to tie the straps so that they stayed up on my shoulders without slipping off. It seems like this dress is for someone with a straight build, but also not-super-narrow shoulders? Too bad because the color is great and the low back looks really pretty. Fortunately RTR had fantastic customer service and got me another dress in time for my event. Next time I will be wary about renting a dress with no reviews.

Super cute and comfortable for a bridal shower
I loved this dress. It was so comfortable. It is hard to find warm-weather dresses that cover my shoulders but this one was perfect. I also did not need a bra, which was great. I wore it with a jean jacket and red flats for a bridal shower. Got tons of compliments.

Hollywood glamour
This dress is exactly how it appears in the photos. The back of the dress in particular is stunning and very sexy (it looked especially great with my short haircut, and would be awesome with an updo), but it's balanced by the conservative cut of the dress in the front. I also loved how the dress hugged my curves and made my butt look great. I ended up not wearing it because I had another dress that was more appropriate for the event I was attending. I was worried about the length but it was fine. The dress has a bit of a high-low hem. I am 5'7" and with 3 inch heels, the 0L stopped at my ankles in the front and dragged slightly on the ground behind me. I think it was the right size and the 0R would have been too short. My one complaint is that you cannot wear a bra, and my B cups ended up looking slightly flattened. A sticky backless bra might have helped. I don't think I would rent this dress again (unless I was going to a Hollywood-themed party or something) because at the end of the day it's not really my style.

Beautiful dress with some fit issues
I wore this dress to an outdoor summer wedding. I felt beautiful in this dress and received lots of compliments. However there were some fit issues with the dress. As other reviewers mentioned, the top of the dress would not stay flat and I required fashion tape to keep from flashing the room, both in the front and on the sides (it was a little baggy for me on top). This is also a true wrap dress and the slit is very high, so when I was walking quickly or sitting down, it felt like it was slipping dangerously high. It was also a little too long in the back, even with 2" heels on (I am 5'7"). Not a big deal as it was a pretty dress and I didn't mind holding it up as I danced, but I probably would not rent it again due to the fit issues; I prefer a dress that I can just wear comfortably without needing tape.

Did not wear - too many ruffles for my frame
This is a gorgeous dress but it just didn't work on my narrow frame. The top flattened out my boobs, and there was so much fabric on the bottom half of the dress that it made me look very pear shaped. It was also a bit too tight in the bodice, so even if I had worn it, it wouldn't have been very comfortable. It just wasn't flattering on me. I love all the other reviewers' photos and think this dress would be so beautiful on someone with a large chest or curvier figure!

So gorgeous and comfortable - sad to send it back!
This may be my favorite rental of all time. I wore the dress to an outdoor wedding at a farm on a hot summer day. The fabric is incredible for dancing - it flows so nicely, I just wanted to spin and twirl in it all night. I think the dress ran a little loose, which I liked; I wore the 0R and was able to adjust it to fit me perfectly with the tie. The dress has great coverage and lining so I did not need to wear a bra (32B), but also didn't feel flattened out. It has a beautiful, bright pattern and adorable buttons down the back. I got compliments all night. My one complaint is that the lining of the dress in the front turned out a bit, so you could see a small bit of the lining on one side of the v-neck. It probably could have been fixed with an iron or fashion tape, but sadly I didn't have either. I wish I could keep this dress and would definitely rent it again!

Beautiful dress but no stretch
I loved this dress! I wore it to a chilly fall outdoor wedding so I was able to sneakily wear leggings underneath. I probably could have worn it without a bra, but decided to wear a nude strapless bra for a little more shape (it bunched out in the back if I didn't wear a bra). It was very comfortable, and I liked the ankle length because I didn't worry about tripping over it, which sometimes happens with maxi dresses. The fabric and colors are really stunning, and even nicer in person than in the photo. It is a nice flowy material and fun to wear! The one drawback is that if you don't fill it out in the bust, it gets a little bunchy in the back because of the crossed straps.

Amazing dress - I felt stunning in this dress and got so many compliments
This may have been my favorite dress I ever rented from RTR. The thick material was stretchy and comfortable. I received compliments all night, even from the bride and groom. Very sexy without being over the top; extremely classy and appropriate for a Saturday night wedding in the city. I could even wear a normal bra with it, although I needed to tuck the straps under a bit, so a racerback bra would probably be the best.

Great for a fall barn wedding
Beautiful color and fabric. I loved the cut of the halter top; it was very classy and flattering. I am only giving 4 stars because the 0 was too small in the waist, and the 2 was too big in the torso. I ended up wearing the 2, but it was just a little loose (it was not in danger of falling down though because of the halter top). It also got pretty wrinkled and I didn't have time to steam it.

Beautiful dress, but no stretch made for difficult fit
This was a gorgeous dress and I wish it fit me. The color is stunning, the fabric is light and flowy, and the cut is sexy and elegant (I LOVE the low back). My favorite part about this dress was the skirt - I wore it to a wedding and it was so fun to spin, dance, and twirl in this dress. Unfortunately, the dress simply didn't fit me well because it is cut for a specific body type (tiny bodice, large boobs), and I was able to wear it, but it wasn't very comfortable. I ordered the 0 with a 2 as a back-up size. The 2 fit in the bodice but was way too big in the chest, to the point where even double-sided tape would not help (also, the straps are not adjustable). I ended up wearing the 0, which was a bit large in the bust, but I was able to fill it out by using cups (there is a place to insert cups in the bust, which was very helpful - I could not have worn the dress otherwise). The dress has no stretch and I was fairly uncomfortable once I started eating and drinking. I would recommend this dress, but only if you have the proportions to fill it out!

Beautiful, comfortable, lightweight dress
I loved this dress! It was so light and flowy and comfortable. I could have worn it with or without a bra. It is nice and lightweight so it was great for a hot summer night. I loved that it was on-trend but still very classy. It was a lot of fun to dance in.

A beautiful, classy white dress for my bridal shower
I am typically an XS but it was way too small so I wore the backup. The S felt very tight as well but I think maybe I am more used to flowier clothes - this dress was outside my comfort zone but I am so glad I wore it. I received dozens of compliments and felt so beautiful and classy at my bridal shower. The material is stretchy and thick so it is a very flattering dress. My only complaint is because it was so tight it was hard to get on and off.

Perfect for a Saturday night wedding
This dress is amazing! I felt like a supermodel. It is pretty different than my usual style, but I loved that I didn't have to wear a bra (I am a 32C) and I felt so comfortable dancing all night. It was fun to be so festive and sparkly. I had multiple strangers approach me to compliment my dress. One woman even said I needed to take pictures to show my grandchildren. I am normally a size 0 but it was a little tight across the hips and the 2 fit me better. I was nervous the dress would be too loud, but I felt so sexy and classy in this dress. Would definitely recommend!
