Not worn for the main event
I ordered this as a backup for my baby shower and it just didn't cut the mustard so I ended up wearing it for a daytime event on the weekend. I'm 8 months pregnant and without a belt, the dress was absolutely tent-like. I was pretty underwhelmed and am not sure how this dress has gotten so many rave reviews.

Perfect for our baby shower
The fabric is not exactly luxurious but it looks beautiful and was comfortable for my 7 months baby bump. I could have worn the small but chose the medium for a little extra room.

Felt gorgeous at 18 weeks pregnant!
The zipper is impossible without a second person.... but other than that I would buy this dress. Beautiful color and fabric and very comfortable.

So chic and sassy!
I loved this dress. I didn't even wear a bra with it. The fabric is so beautiful and the cut is to die for. Just a little loose in the waist but I expect that. There is no stretch to the fabric. You can't go wrong with this one.

Ick.
The lace godet is dangerously high. I'm 5'8" and it was completely inappropriate. Defiantly has a power should pad thing going on and the hips were a bit snug and pulled even more at the way too short godet. I would not recommend this for us gals with an hourglass shape.

I WANT TO OWN THIS!
I loved this maxi dress and so did everyone else. Perfect for a dinner because it's not fitting so you won't show your food baby. Only little issue I had was that the busy kept moving around on me... shifting leftwards. Other than that, absolutely perfect.

Tight through the hips but I guess that's what I get for wanting to wear a mermaid gown. Gorgeous, though. Great color and very sexy.

Darling dress
Zero stretch lined lightly pleated chiffon. Great little sundress. The 6 was loose but that was the fit I was going for. Compliments all night long.

Fun look for anniversary dinner
I'd rent this again! Very fun but watch your posture when seated - it's so blouse on the top it's not very flattering if you're slouching. Other than that, I loved it! Very comfortable and you can eat without worrying about the dreaded food baby.

Made New Years party even more special
I love RTR. Your new packaging is awesome, by the way! I rented this dress on a whim for a dinner party I was hosting. I loved that it wasn't skin tight and the stitching is an interesting detail. The only issue was that the stitching on the bust was a little odd in places. I'm sure it's been redone for maintenance. Beautiful dress, though. Especially great if comfort is a concern.

Beautiful color for birthday dinner
Big size difference between the 40 and 42. I wound up wearing the 42 but it was larger in places than I would have liked. The straps are indeed long, as other reviews have mentioned. And the zipper is a bit tricky as well. Still, a gorgeous color and a simple design that can be dressed up or down.

Ew.
I was so excited for this dress! The hotel lost the package so I didn't get to wear it for my event. Upon receiving the package, I tried on the dress and it was just not good. WAY too small. Fit the waist, but my boobs and butt were squeezed! I'm 5'8" and the hemline would have been ridiculous on me. I mean, down-right trampy. The material was not as stretchy as I thought it would be, either.

Gorgeous color!
Great dress for my cousin's summer wedding in Atlanta. I received tons of compliments. The 4 was a little big in places and the 2 was more fitted than I felt appropriate, so I chose the 4. I would definitely rent this dress again. Just a little snag at the hem, but that's to be expected with all-over lace.

Pretty but the slip is odd...
Super pretty dress that I wore for cocktails during my wedding weekend. I loved the lace part, but the lining was cut odd and kept moving up too short when I sat down. Not too tight or anything, just too short!!!!!

Beautiful for my Groom's Dinner
We had our Groom's Dinner at a unique Southwestern joint in Sedona, AZ and this dress was perfect! Beautiful print and so comfortable! I was nervous about the sizing on this one since previous reviews lead me to believe there was an issue.... Just follow the size chart and you'll be fine!

Great dress. I got so many compliments and it was perfect for the glamorous beach wedding I was attending. The zipper is a little tricky.... but that's what friends are for!

Best bracelet ever.
My original intention was to wear this with the dress I rented to a wedding in Miami; which I did! But I also wore it every day during the rental period. It adds just the right touch! I would buy this.

Sparkles always win
Loved this dress; its that magic combination of sexy and elegant! The size small fit fine, but I chose to go with the medium because I felt the way it draped was a little classier. Regarding the color, I'm not sure I received the right one as the sequins were much more gold than they were brown. No huge deal but thats the reason I'm only giving this 4 stars. the dress is beautifully made. Just be aware that when wearing it with tights, the sequins will catch near the hemline.

Great for Bridal Tea!
Not too short, not too long.... just right! Perfectly simple tank bodice and the lace is just darling! The underskirt adds just the right about of poof. I wore it with a belt to cinch the wast even more. The 2 fit, but was a little tight across the bust for my C cup, so the 4 was very comfortable.

A perfect look for Dirty Thirty!
This was fun. I was in NYC for my birthday and my fiance and I painted the town.... I got tons of compliments from strangers and felt pretty hot! There is no stretch in this dress and that is why I only gave it 4 stars. I am a mover and felt a bit restricted by this dress. I probably should have gone up another size, but again because of the no stretch factor, the fit was a bit looser around my waist and tighter on my hips and chest. Great dress but prepare to be confined a little!

Beautiful gown!
I wore the size 2L. At least I think it was a 2L! I'm 5'8" and found some beautiful 5 inch heels for the event. However, I couldn't wear them because the dress was just too short!!!!! We ended up hunting all over the city that day for heels that would work. They were 3 inch heels in the end. Once I got the right shoes, the dress was great! I got so many compliments and it was surprisingly comfortable!

This was part of my "surprise bling." It was gorgeous! So many people commented on how beautiful it was. Surly a show stopper when paired with understated earrings.

Elegant!
The fit was beautiful - I received loads of compliments. The train was longer than I was used to so a lot of gently pulling it up to walk so I didn't step on the dress.
