Gorgeous Dress!
I did not end up wearing this dress as my other selection worked better, but this is a GORGEOUS dress in person. The details and the colors really make it pop. I found the size I ordered (L / 10) to be too loose in my waist and not as figure flattering, so maybe a M would have worked better.

Gorgeous dress! So many compliments!
Beautiful dress & gorgeous colors in person. Wore for a formal outdoor summer vineyard wedding. Very thick material with minimal stretch, which is great to hide bumps, sweat, etc. I could see this dress working in the winter as well. I am 5'6", 36DD, 150 lbs with an hourglass shape. This dress really accentuated my waist, and also held up my chest. I wore a strapless bra but it wasn't 100% necessary. The dress hits mid-calf, so if you are shorter it may be too long. Tons of compliments! 5-stars! Possibly my favorite RTR rental dress to date!

Perfect LBD option
The dress was beautiful (still NWT when I received it), and it fit extremely well. I wore it for a formal work event, and it was dressy enough when paired with jewelry and the right shoes to fit in w/ other formal and semi-formal attire. I was ~3 months pregnant at the time, so this dress was perfect for hiding a little extra stomach and growing chest until I was ready to reveal the big news. It definitely has a full skirt, so it might make wide hips look even wider, but the proportions are right.

Pretty dress; great for upscale work event!
Great dress! As other reviewers have noted, this dress has little to no stretch in the bust area so I ended up wearing the 10 instead of the 8 (I'm 36DD; 5'6"; hourglass/athletic). The dress looks great in photos, and I paired it with a big statement necklace to dress it up even more. I had this dress shipped to the Georgetown DC RTR store for pick-up, which was really convenient and a very smooth process!

Beautiful colors & a fitted sleek silhouette
Wore this great dress to a business holiday cocktail party. The colors in this dress are absolutely beautiful! Pro: The material is thick so the dress holds its shape and hides any bumps, etc. Also, the neckline is perfect - low, but not too low. Slimming in the waist. The only negative thing is that if you're pretty curvy, this dress may be too tight around your bust/hips/thighs/rear. It fit my hourglass shape perfectly, though! Would definitely recommend this dress!

Cute, but better for a night out than a wedding.
Really fun dress, and great for cooler weather. However, I rented this as a back-up dress for a wedding and realized it just wasn't as dressy in person as I had hoped. I would wear this some other time though for a fun night out. One note about fit - if you are a true hourglass shape like me the dress will still be roomy across the midsection.

Not Ideal for an Hourglass Figure
This dress is a nice upgrade to a basic black dress, but unfortunately it's better suited for straight shapes. If you're like me and have an hourglass figure (larger chest, small waist, and wider hips), this dress will not flatter you. The dress just looked boxy and did not accentuate my figure at all. To be fair, this was a last minute order and most of the dresses I would have preferred were already rented.

Beautiful colors! Perfect for a spring wedding.
This dress is BEAUTIFUL in person! I wore this to a spring wedding, and I received so many compliments! I typically wear an 8, and that's the size I ended up wearing. It was a bit tight in the bust and shoulders for me, but not so tight that I couldn't dance, etc. The length was just right (I'm 5'6") -- any shorter would have been inappropriate IMO :) Loved the pockets! Another terrific RTR experience.

My first RTR experience was fantastic. A beautiful dress in perfect condition for a memorable night!
I wore this dress to a NYE wedding and reception at an art gallery in DC. Based on other reviews of the dress (no stretch/the dress is tight around the bust and hips/thighs), I ordered a size up and two sizes up for my back-up size. I ended up wearing the 12. Although a little loose around my waist, it was the right choice and made for a more comfortable experience sitting during the wedding ceremony and dancing at the reception. The colors were even more beautiful in person, especially with the gallery lighting. Overall, it was a memorable evening and a great first RTR experience!
