Flare Factor!
I rented this dress for a wedding and it was perfect! Being 5'4", the bottom of the dress came to mid-shin but with 4" heels (ceremony) and even 2" heels (reception) it looked great! The print was vibrant and absolutely stunning! Even though the dress felt a little weighted, I stayed cool and it wasn't too hot! As many others have commented, the dress runs large!! I usually wear a 2, but even the 0 was a tad bit big. As the night progressed, it stretched, but only just a little bit. When renting, I would get one size down as your first size then 2 dress sizes down for your backup. Now, lets talk about the best part of the dress....the skirt + pockets! The pockets were a major plus and they were deep! I was able to carry lipstick, my car key and phone and even after dancing, never feared they'd come out! Now, the flare on that skirt is AMAZING! The skirt flares out and falls wonderfully and walking in it made me feel gorgeous! I would spin myself just to see it flare out! Other than the fact it runs large (-1 star), I would rent this again!

Wow!!
If you're looking for a comfortable, yet stunning dress, THIS IS IT! The color is a beautiful, rich red, the cape is amazing, the slit is sexy and the material is forgiving (no spandx needed!)! However, the dress runs LARGE! I ordered a 2 and 0 (I usually wear a 2 or 4, depending on the style) and the 2 still had room and looked a bit frumpy. I'm happy I followed other renters advise and sized down for my backup!! If you want a snug feel and to accentuate your curves, I highly suggest you size down. If you're 5'4" or shorter, 4" heels are necessary so that the dress doesn't drag. Danced the night away in the dress and it gave me no problems whatsoever! And again, the cape and slit are the true stunners of this dress! Modest, yet sexy! Rent it ladies!

Such a lovely color!! Rent it!
I was looking for something to wear for graduation and I came across this jumpsuit. Before renting, I'll usually read through most, if not all, of the reviews then sleep on it, then choose to rent. With graduation around the corner, I rented it. BEST DECISION EVER!!! The color is WAAAAY prettier in person! The sheer panel on the sides went up to mid thigh and it wasn't too sheer! It was more sheer near the ankles. The jumpsuit definitely runs large. I wore the 2R and it still had room, but it was still worked! Being 5'4" and short torso'd, I didn't like how shapeless it made me look. I went to forever21 and purchased the gold belt in the picture! It really pulled it all together and cut me right! Wore with 4" heels and it skimmed the floor! I got compliments from fellow graduates, professors and complete strangers! It's flow is lovely and it easy to take off to pee! Will DEFINITELY rent this again!!

Too small
It's definitely tiny!!! And the material is quite heavy. It's nice if you're looking to keep just cash, ID and maybe your phone.

STUNNING!!!
After reading the reviews, I decided to get this dress for a fancy night out on the town! I was worried this dress was going to be too "old" for me but this dress did not disappoint!! I felt elegant, sophisticated and down right sexy! I usually wear a size 2 but wore the 4R as it fit better on top (I'm a 32D). I suggest sizing up for backup. The color is rich and the fabric is perfect!! And those pockets!!! Love! From the moment we walked out, I got compliments all night, even from our UBER drivers! Wore 3.5" inch heels and it just barely skimmed the floor! Went out dancing and it held up perfectly. If you're worried it is too "poofy" it is not! It flares out just perfectly! Only downsize was that, upon inspection, the top part of the dress (shoulder area) was coming apart. Almost to the point of breaking but I fixed it with hem tape! It stayed put. Other than that, I would DEFINITELY rent this again!!

PEARLS! Need I say more?
Paired this with the Kate Spade, Perfect Era dress and it matched perfectly with it! The pearls and crystals on the bracelet matched the neckline of the dress amazingly! One down side to this was that the bracelet would unclip if you were spinning (or dancing in my case). Overall, gorgeous bracelet for any and all occasions!

Subtle yet stunning!! GORGEOUS DRESS! Rent it!
I received this dress after my back up dress was unavailable. I went with a stylists recommendation on this dress and let me tell you, BEST DECISION EVER!!!! The moment I skipped this dress on, I felt absolutely beautiful! I ordered the 2R and 4R and found that the 2R fit much better. This dress fits like a glove and hugs all your curves! There is a slight train but it's not hindering. The R length was a little long, despite wearing 3 inch heels but that didn't bother me. I was getting complements all evening and to this day, my friends and people I barely know, comment on how stunning the dress was. The lace is subtle yet is the wow factor to this dress. When you spin, the bottom of the dress flares out in the most perfect way! Overall, if you want to feel absolutely stunning, this is the dress for you. I highly recommend renting this dress and I will most definitely be renting it again!

If you have curves, this is for you!! GORGEOUS!
This was the first dress I ordered from RTR and it is the reason I keep coming back. Where to begin on this dress??? I wore this dress to a formal dinner party and let me tell you, it was PERFECT! This dress hugs all your curves and the detailing on the back is subtle yet stunning! It is slightly see through, so beware. The train in the back was perfect in the overall flow of the dress. The material is a bit heavy, but that's the reason it drapes so well! I was receiving compliments all evening! I'm 5'4" and the 2R still dragged with 4 inch heels. When it came time to dance, I was able to pull it up and it stayed up. Wonderful! I accessorized this dress with a simple gold headband and gold bangles. If you want to look sophisticated and feel sexy, this dress is for you! I highly recommend renting it! It is sooooo worth it!!!

That poof!!!
I rented this dress for a semi-formal ballroom dance night. Instead I going for my usual look (floor length gowns) I decided to take a chance and go for something shorter. I order the size 2 and was worried that it'd be too small however when I put it on, I actually had room to spare. The 0 wasn't available. I would recommend sizing down. Be advised, this dress has a lot of poof!!! I ironed the pleats and that helped but overall, this dress was an absolute pleasure to wear! And those pockets! Perfect! The neckline is gorgeous and I paired it with a pearl bracelet from RTR. I received tons of compliments and it was so much fun dancing in! If you want a dress that's flirt and cute, this is the dress for you!
