Great dress.. long on short girls
I'm only 5'3" so the dress was more floor length than ankle/knee. Color was also a bit darker than pictured. But overall received many compliments and it fit great.

Beautiful fun and stunning dress
This dress was amazing. Little big, I usually wear a 4 or 2 but based on reviews I ordered the 0 and it was only a little tight in some spots. The fabric was quality thick and a stunning pattern. Wore with regular underwear but no bra. Hit just below the knees on 5'3". Pockets were fun and didn't stick out. Clasps were difficult to close however.

Didn't even feel the weight of these earrings but they looked like beautiful chandelier pieces.

Beautiful pattern and color
Everyone loved this dress for my 30th bday dinner. Little fancy for just a restaurant but the color made it appropriate for nighttime. I'm usually a 4 but it was just a little loose in the body. The 2 fit better overall even though it was tight under the arms. Worn with regular bra and underwear.

Felt Glamorous
This was my 4th RTR, and I have NEVER been disappointed. I re-scheduled the dress to arrive on a Thurs. for a Monday, Memorial Day wedding since I knew there was no Sunday or Monday UPS pick-up and I would need the extra time to flip the sequins as I read in all the other reviews. I took one of the readers suggestions, and used a tweezers, worked GREAT; took me over an hour but the result was definitely work it, most of the flipped sequins were in the back in the seating area. Many are just bent, not flipped the wrong way. I ordered the small and a medium, and never even tried on the Medium, small fit PERFECTLY; I am 5'5", 123 lbs, only a 34A and usually wear a 4. I felt and looked like a million bucks (wish the picture could have attached), not bad for this 60+ year old. A few recommendations: NO necklace needed, gold earrings to offset the black mesh top, black shoes not gold, use sticky boobs if you are small like me as it gave me shape, otherwise, no bra needed, definitely NOT black stockings. Another success !

My First RTR, but DEFINITELY not my last.
Perfect for an outdoor, garden wedding (photo would not attach). Ordered the 4 and the 6 and the 4 fit perfectly for my 5'5", 123 pound, 33" bust. Cannot wear a strapless bra due to the low cut back, but the "sticky boobs" as I call them, worked perfectly. Do NOT wear with black stockings. I suggest gold jewelry over a color. No necklace necessary, but if you want to, go for the gold. Since this event, I have rented two additional times and have never been disappointed.

ELEGANT and CLASSY
I ordered the 4 and the 6 as I always do from RTR. Always wear the 4, but on this one I needed the extra room in the hips, so chose the 6. I probably could have worn the 4 with spanx. Of course, a strapless bra or adhesive boobs. Length was perfect for 5'5" and 123 lbs. Received compliments from strangers. Dress is really too nice for costume jewelry. Perfect for a summer formal, indoor wedding. BTW, my daughter's dress and necklace is also RTR.

Not bad for over 60 !
This dress fit PERFECTLY. I am 5'5" and 122 lbs. with only a 33" bust. I had tried it on in the store but didn't want to spend the money. When my back-up dress became unavailable, I chose this one, and RTR came through. KUDOS to their customer service department. I received so many compliments and still do since I recently changed this to my FB profile picture. Wore with "sticky boobs." Only downside was that the lining hung below the lace, but I pinned it up, so problem solved. I've rented 3 times and so far this is my favorite. Another one coming up in May. I love that I can have a different dress for every wedding.

Great look!
This dress was a replacement for a damaged dress and I was happily surprised. The 2 was a bit baggy in the stomach so I wore the 0 even though it was tighter in the hips. The fabric is a nice thick material with nice detailing. The front pocket was fun too. Wore with nude heels and regular underwear & bra.

Perfect fit and awesome dress!
Loved this dress! Wore it for my bachelorette party out in NYC. It fit perfectly snug but not too tight to be uncomfortable or revealing. The back zipper is sexy and can be pulled up a few inches to make it easier to walk. I loved the subtle pattern textures on the dress. Wore with a thong and regular nude-colored bra.

Overall nice dress
This dress was nice and received a lot of compliments. I would size down, the 6 was huge and the 4 was a little loose, wish I had the 2. The boning wasn't a problem. Since I'm straight and slim, this dress made my bottom look larger because of the fuller skirt. Pictures are deceiving.. this dress isn't white, its stripes of beige and light brown. The embellishment on top is beautiful though. Received it a little wrinkled but just steamed it out. Wore with a strapless bra, regular underwear, and nude heels.

Loved this dress!
This dress was amazing! I wore it to a semi-formal med school party and received compliments all night. It's pretty tight and shows everything off but not too tight to be uncomfortable. I wore the small just because there was extra room under the arms and the lace back in the medium. Both fit snugly and were basically the same length. The dress is a little short but since it was cold, I wore it with sheer black stockings. I wore a NuBra on top with a thong and stockings on bottom. Since it is short and lace on top you have to be mindful about the seams on any underwear or stockings. I was comfortable all night even while dancing and eating. I would definitely rent this dress again!
