A nice option
I got this as a backup dress but didn't end up wearing it since I liked one of the other options a bit more. It's a gorgeous dress, fits true to size, but you may want to order the long version if you're planning to wear heels-- I'm 5' 5" it looked too short with a 3.5" inch heel!

Even prettier in person!
This dress was great for a more formal wedding! The cutouts were perfectly placed (and didn't cause any awkward bulging like I've noticed in similar gowns), although I should note that you may want to order the dress in the long version if you plan on wearing heels. I'm 5' 5", ordered the regular length, and ended up wearing a more formal flat sandal since the dress wasn't long enough to wear heels with. Worked out since I had a pair of shoes that worked, but definitely something to be aware of!

Love this dress!
The color of the dress looks phenomenal (especially with a nice tan!) and flares our beautifully when dancing. It's the perfect weight, and didn't feel too constricting. If you're very tall you may find it to be a bit short, but at 5' 5'' I didn't find it to be a problem. Would rent again!

Nice holiday party dress!
I wore this for my company holiday party after my initial dress was way too revealing... this dress saved me! It's super comfortable and the ties at the arms look great tied AND untied (IMO). Perfect length and no issues with wrinkling! Would wear again.

Absolutely gorgeous!
This dress fit very well/was still somewhat forgiving after a long vacation that included a lot of eating... the color is very beautiful and the length was great-- a little shorter and it may have been too short for me. I am 5'6" and wore this with gold wedges!

More blue than it appears online!
This dress was gorgeous for a wedding that I attended a few weeks ago-- just note that it is definitely more blue in person (it looked closer to black online... at least to me). Either way, the dress was comfortable enough to dance in, looked great, wasn't too heavy, and shined on its own without a lot of accessories!

Perfect for a beach wedding
This dress was perfectly light and airy for a beachside wedding! The length was perfect with a pair of flat sandals (I'm 5' 6" and wore the regular length). Got a lot of compliments on this, and I would totally rent again for another event or a nice dinner on a tropical vacation :)

PERFECTION.
I rented this for a holiday party and couldn't have asked for a better option. The cut-outs were GREAT-- not too revealing, but added a nice little punch to the dress. I loved the long sleeves for the cold. The dress is definitely form fitting, but a pair of spanx would fit fine underneath if you felt like you needed them. I went without, but think it would be fine with them as well. It is a GREAT dress! Hated sending it back.

Perfect dress for my birthday brunch!
I love shift dresses, and this one was no exception. The color is extremely flattering on an olive skin tone, and the material is so incredibly comfortable. The cut of the dress itself was also flattering, although I recommend wearing one of those sticky bras or a good bandeau bra underneath... the arm holes are a bit large, but I feel like you can work with it-- wasn't too big of a deal on my end. I hated to send this dress back and would have loved to keep it... I could see myself wearing it a lot if I owned it!

Beautiful color, flattering fit!
This was great for an evening wedding-- the color was extremely flattering and the fit very forgiving. This one (like another one I wore recently) did wrinkle fairly easily, but it wasn't too noticeable. I seriously fell in love with the color of this dress and the fluttery sleeves!

Perfect dress for a museum wedding!
Fit was great, although it did wrinkle easily (I knew that going into it, though). Flattering on an olive skin tone and comfortable enough for a night of laughing and dancing!

Fun but simple!
I ordered this dress for a wedding and ended up wearing a different one that was sent. However, I must say that the dress is beautiful... but make sure to wear the correct size, because the sheerness and clingy-ness of it would most likely accentuate any flaws on your backside/legs, especially if you don't wear the proper underwear. It is incredibly lightweight which will be good for any dancing, and I thought that the length of the dress was adequate with wedges (I am 5'5'' for reference, and had received the 2... It was a bit billowy, which is part of the reason why I didn't wear it, but if I had been able to receive the 0, I'm sure it would have been the perfect fit (length also). I would love to try this dress again in the future in the right size!

So elegant!
I wore this dress for a friend's wedding and didnt want to return it! It was so elegant, simple, but GORGEOUS at the same time. The material was a bit wrinkled when it arrived, but all I did was hang it in the bathroom while I showered and the steam in the room removed the wrinkles. The dress looks great with simple, understated jewelry. It was easy to walk in, comfortable against my skin, and a dress that I could see renting for NUMEROUS occasions in the future. Thanks again for an amazing dress, RTR!

Pretty!
This really was such a pretty dress... It was sent as a back up size when one of the dresses I ordered originally was too damaged to be sent to me. I ended up wearing another dress (that went better with the shoes I had), but still loved this dress. It fell nicely, and moved gracefully with each step! The color was deep and beautiful. I will definitely be renting this dress for an event in the future!

Great dress for a winter party!
I wore this to my boyfriend's birthday party at a rooftop bar in NYC in the winter... it is definitely warm and very cute! The material seems very smooth over your body, and isn't too short. I'd recommend, and I would definitely choose this dress again! The blue detailing on the front is different and fun.

Great choice for a company holiday party!
I wore this to my company's holiday party and could not have been more satisfied. It was the perfect mix of classy and sassy, and the fit was perfect. I received a lot of compliments! While it's a (relatively) simple dress, it is definitely stunning... sometimes simple is better!

Too tight across the hips
I'm usually a 0/2, and only had this dress delivered in a 0 because it was the only size available. It was perfect, except for the fact that it was a bit tight across my hips. I ended up wearing my back up for a more comfortable fit, but this was a beautiful dress. Now that I know my size (a 2!) I would rent again-- the open back is gorgeous and would be perfect for a fun summer party.

Perfect for my birthday!
This dress was perfect for my 25th birthday-- just the right amount of sparkle! It was a bit roomy in the top (the straps were a teensy bit large/didn't lay flat and popped up a bit), and was a good, comfortable length for dancing-- not too short. I would wear it again!
