Really fun, but didn't end up wearing
I rented this for a Miami wedding in January. I was looking for something light, fun and colorful for a black tie wedding- this certainly fit the bill. I was a little disappointed in the fabric quality- it didn't feel as fancy as I was hoping for. I also had a little trouble getting the back of the dress laced well without help. Even with good lacing, I still felt like it was squeezing my back a little- not the most flattering.

Looks amazing and so comfortable!
I rented this for a January wedding in Miami. The embroidery on the skirt is really nice, high quality. There is a good amount of peach and pinks in it and the zipper is rose gold. I usually wear an 8 in tops but a 10 in fitted dresses or bottoms- the Large worked well for me. I also have a longer torso, so the straps could be a little big on someone with a short torso. I felt really secure in the dress, didn't even need to use fashion tape. The fact that there is no boning in the bodice made it even more comfortable. I could have used the large long- it was perfect length with flats. Lots of compliments!

Too much skin for a family wedding!
I rented this dress for my cousin's wedding. Though I really loved the fit of the dress, I thought that the back was just too much skin for the occasion. I felt very exposed, more so than the model appeared! Would have been perfect for a gala or party, just not for a church.

Perfect for an outdoor spring wedding!
The color is a beautiful orange/coral in person. It really stands out! With the sweetheart neckline under the lace and the keyhole, the dress is still sexy without being overtly so. I was able to wear a regular strapless bra. I had some trouble with the liner staying down, but once I took off my Spanx, I thought the dress actually looked better. The liner is satin-y, so if your event is really hot, I think there is a chance for sweat marks. Once I told my friends that I had rented this dress, they all said I should try to buy it!

Fabric different than expected
Beautiful color, but the fabric was stiffer and heavier than I expected. I needed a little bit more give around the hips. As a tall girl, this dress was short but not indecently so. I ended up not wearing it, since it was my backup dress. I think it would need some big jewelry to really make it stand out.

Beautiful color on
Appropriate length for a summer wedding. The bodice made the dress very flattering and the fabric was light and breezy.

Beautiful, bold statement
I wore this with the black lace Nicole MIller dress and they really stood out. I kept the rest of my jewelry simple and wore my hair pulled back. One of the earrings was slightly loose and fell of twice throughout the night. I was worried about the weight, but they didn't feel heavy at all.

Great for a family holiday party
The underlayer of the dress was very fitted, however I found the black lace overlay to be slightly large in the bust. The length was great- just a few inches above the knees.

I felt so amazing in this dress. It came recommended from one of the RTR stylists and I could not have been happier. The blue photographs extremely well and the asymmetric draping is very flattering. I'd even consider renting this one again!

Such a cute dress! The 8 was too big (a 6 would have been perfect) but with enough Hollywood tape, it looked amazing. A little shorter than I'm used to, but not uncomfortable. I received compliments all night on the beautiful back detail!
