Felt glamorous at a beautiful wedding
These earrings are showstoppers! They are large but not over-the-top blingy, so it worked great with my strapless (RTR, embroidered) dress and my hair pinned half back to show them off a bit. They are clip-on, which was a first for me, but I was thankful for that because they were heavy. I'm trying to find something to attend so I can rent them again!

Perfect dress for many occasions
This dress is AMAZING! I wore it for a rehearsal dinner, then my friend wore it for a wedding. She is 5'3" and top heavy, basically my opposite, and it fit both of us perfectly. It was so comfortable and classy, and I got a ton of compliments. It's a great dress for many, many occasions. It will probably be the only dress I rent twice.

SO warm and comfortable!
I wore this dress for work and drinks, and it was perfect for both. It's very warm, so definitely best for winter. If I rented it again, I would size up to the large because it was narrow in the hips which made it gap in the front more than I was comfortable with. It fit more like a 6 in the lower body. Luckily, it doesn't blow open much since it's heavy. Definitely a great all-occasion winter staple!

Comfortable, classy choice for winery touring
This is the first jumpsuit I've ever tried since I'm so tall, and even though it wasn't my cup of tea, it was very classy, beautiful and comfortable. I think the cut and style would make it very flattering for most body types. It fit like an 8 or 10. The long length was perfect at 5'9" in flats or heels but too short for my 5'11" friend. The only issue I had with it was the extra material in the stomach and crotch, but other than that, it was great!

Wasn't able to wear due to size
I made the mistake of listening to some other reviews about this running big and ordered a small when I'm normally a medium. The small was too tight in the arms for me to wear comfortably, especially with long sleeves. The coat itself is big (by design), but the sleeves aren't. Overall, though, the coat is beautiful and very classy. It's a thin material, so it's a great transitional weather piece. Just beware of what you plan to wear it with because of the narrower sleeves.

Wasn't able to wear
This dress runs SMALL especially in the chest. It was tighter than most sports bras. The fit in the hips was tight, but I do have very wide hips. The style of the dress is very chic, and the color is beautiful as pictured, but this is definitely for girls with A cups and straight and narrow.

Easy-to-wear versatile dress with added bonus of comfort
This wasn't my favorite dress from RTR, but they can't all be favorites! It's top PRO is how comfortable it is. I've gained a few pounds recently and still felt very comfortable with the back exposure. It fit in a way that nothing was "hanging out." The inside of the material is almost sweatshirt like, but not overheating. The bottom of the straps gaped in the back, but I could have fixed them with fashion tape if I cared enough. The length was exactly as pictured on the model, so this dress would be best for tall ladies. It probably would look good on most body types, especially pear or hourglass. The fit at the chest was conservative enough for a political function but also flattering. It was perfect for the event with a sweater and for a ladies night out with the exposed back!

Perfect for a party and wine tasting
This dress fit great and was very comfortable. It was snug in the waist, as expected, but not restricting. The skirt was full without being poofy. Fit was tight but comfortable in the chest. The length was mid-thigh and not too short even for my long legs. The dress is starting to show some wear but isn't very noticeable from a distance. It was a perfect versatile piece, great for hourglass or pear figures.

Fun dress for a night at the winery
This dress is just as beautiful in person as it looks online. However, it is TIGHT! It's a very stretchy scuba-like material, so that combined with the busy pattern helps to hide a lot of flaws but it definitely accentuated my J-Lo butt. From the front, I thought it was very flattering, though, so I wore it with a long black sleeveless sweater with ruffles along the edges and it worked out great. My biggest problem with this dress was the mesh lining that made it very uncomfortable for sitting. It felt like sitting on cheap nylons and made my bottom itch so bad I had to leave early. Other than that, it was comfortable and fun to wear.

BEAUTIFUL dress but sending back for a bigger size
This dress is so beautiful in person. It's very slimming and flattering for an hourglass figure (and didn't make me look as wide as my pics appear). I'm normally a 6 or 8 depending on where a dress is fitted, but the 8 was tight in both the shoulders/chest and the hips with room in the waist. My measurements are 35", 29", 42" and it fit like a glove but made it difficult to walk or sit due to where the hem below the hips hit and rides up when walking or sitting. Since most people don't have such a big back side, sizing up once would probably be okay for most people, but I'm going to try again with the 10. The material feels like crepe paper but has no stretch. It also has sheer cut-outs on the sides that prevent you from wearing a bra or nubra. I went braless with no issue due to the tight fit. UPDATE: Ordered in the 10, fits much better in the hips but gaps in the waist in such a way that you can see the line of my back through the mesh cut-outs. I also definitely have to wear a nubra to fill out this size. I'm wearing it anyway!

Trying it on to wear as a bridesmaid dress
This dress is AMAZING!!!! It fit like a glove. I vary consistently between 6 and 8 (top is 6 - 36"; bottom is 8 - 42") and this fit so perfectly everywhere. I'm 29" at my natural waist where the band hits and it fit comfortably like I could eat a decent meal and still be comfortable. That's not always the case with a ribbon band. The length was good at 5'8" with 3"+ heels, but an inch longer than is safe to dance in without heels, so I'm returning it for the regular length and wearing flats instead. The skirt is heavy but not uncomfortable. The whole dress is just perfect, in great condition, good quality material. I can't wait to wear it for the wedding!
