Normal Size Fits but not super slimming
This is a beautiful dress & I got lots of compliments on it. It's not terribly slimming but on the plus side it was super comfortable & didn't require Spanx & just a regular strapless bra. Overall, it worked for the wedding but I wasn't in love with it.

6 was too small - 8 still a bit tight
I didn't wear the 8 - I got replacement dresses instead. The 8 could have been worn but was a big tight on my ribcage. I could have worn it but likely would have been uncomfortable. This is a beautiful dress though.

10 was too big - 8 too small
I tried this dress - the 8 was too small (tight around tummy & rib cage - couldn't get it zipped up), while the 10 was too big on the one-shoulder. Likely could have made the 10 work with creative pinning but didn't want to try that hard.

Fit not flattering if you have a tummy
I got the 8 because of the reviews that I saw that it ran small. And it fit through the stomach but was tight through the upper back and weird fitting on the boobs and shoulders. It inched up my body if I raised my arms.

A real wrap dress is so much work
I wanted to love this dress - it was a very pretty color. But the wrap just didn't work well (even with a black cami underneath) & it wasn't flattering. A faux wrap would have been better.

Love this dress...comfortable & cute!
Loved this dress....so comfy & cute. I go between a 6 & 8, and 8 was definitely the way to go in this one. Can wear regular bra & make sure to wear light colored panties. Would have kept longer if wasn't end of summer....would have bought if cheaper!!

Cute dress....very short, but fun!
I loved the colors....I wore w/o a bra b/c it's a low v-cut. Could have used some stick-on cup pushups but was on vacation so didn't have them. Fun for a fancy event....little short but would rent again

Weird fit - wanted to love it
Beautiful dress but the bust is super low & baggy, as is the stomach but then the back was a bit tight. It's like for sizing, they just made it larger in the bust :)

Too tight in back for me
This dress is super cute, but the 8 was too hard to zip up in back for me. If I hadn't rented at end of summer, likely would have tried the 10.

Cute for day
I wore this twice...once for a concert and once for a baseball game. It was really cute! The only fit thing on me was I could only clasp the top clasp on the back, otherwise it was a little too tight looking around my under arms. The only thing that would make this better is if it had a little bit more support in the stomach....it definitely doesn't pull anything in.

Waist too high on me
The waist hit at a weird place on me and was unflattering. But it seemed like the 8 would be too big. I didn't wear it, but I liked it a lot.

Beautiful but boob-a-licious
This dress was beautiful colors but I couldn't wear a bra & it's a lot of boob. It was a bit tight in the back on me, but I have a broad back. It was fine for a dinner out but made me a bit self-conscious.

Cute & comfortable
I wore this for a dinner out...it's cute & the stomach area is forgiving. :) Strapless bra worked great & it's cool how you can adjust the fit at the neck. Only reason I didn't wear it more than once was that I spilled some water on the front & now it needs dry cleaned.

Very cute, easy dress!
The dress is really cute. It fits really well and the arms are very flattering. The only thing I didn't like about it was there should have been thicker fabric around the stomach area - it's very thin and shows everything. Overall, though, I liked it a lot!

Cute day dress
This dress is cute, and the fit is really nice. The extra lace under the arms makes it so it's not too revealing, and it's loose around the tummy. The only thing I'd say is that the lace around the arms and the bottom of the dress may make it a bit young for someone in their late thirties upwards. I will likely wear it a couple of times during the day before returning it but won't buy it as I think I'm a little bit old for it.

Beautiful color but don't expect much out of fit
The color is awesome but this is super low-cut. Unless you have a super cute bralette & you love that look, you will either need to 1) wear a camisole (which doesn't look that cool with this dress), or 2) pin it together. The rest of the dress kind of hung on me.....so it wasn't my fave.

Wonderful color - fit okay but not super comfortable
I love the print of this shirt - it wasn't my favorite on. It's short - I'm 5'3" & you have to really like how your pants fit on top - there's no hiding anything. There's no hold-in on the tummy so be prepared for that. I would recommend using the bra straps to hold your regular bra in place - otherwise, (with a strapless, the sleeves would fall down). It's low-cut, but not super low-cut. It's not a super low-maintenance top....but awesome colors/print & photographs well.

This was cute & I probably would have worn it if I didn't like my other dress better!
It was thin - consider a slip dress underneath if you are going to wear it for something other than beach/pool.

Really comfortable, colorful dress
I wore this for a daytime charity event. It was super comfortable (the no waist helps if it's an food/wine event like mine was). This was perfect for a hot day, wasn't see through & fun colors. I really liked it!

Nice dress for a "country" themed charity event
The dress was comfortable, but looked better with a belt. I wear a size 6-8 in most dresses & the medium fit well. I didn't love the color on pale skin (wasn't my favorite yellow), but it worked.

Comfy Dress, Cheap Rental & looks nice for a formal event where you need to move
I wore this to a gala for a children's hospital (I was volunteering, so a lot of walking, standing, etc.). I actually had to wear the large b/c the medium was too tight on my back. The butt & chest area were a bit too big, but it fit everyone else. I didn't have to wear Spanx with the large. I got several compliments - the color is great!

Cute dress if you want to hide your tummy!
Age 30 & over advice: I had to size up A LOT for this dress. I'm normally a 6 in designer dresses - sometimes a size 8 lately (5'3", 135 lbs), but this 8 was too tight to zip up the back (I have broad shoulders). The 10 was fine (a bit big in the tummy/shoulders), but better than too tight. It was super cute & everyone loved it, but I had to order two orders to get the size I needed.

Cute flapper dress if you don't want to go over the top
I rented this for a Halloween party - it's a cute nod to a flapper dress if you aren't trying to go over the top. I tried the 8 on first, and I don't think I could have worn the 6 simply because of the length of the dress. The 8 was barely long enough, and I'm only 5'3"! It fit pretty well everywhere else, though the 6 probably would have fit better in the shoulders. I liked it, it was comfortable & you can't beat the price!

Great extra flair!
I rented this b/c it was recommended with my dress & b/c I wanted to try out a "cleavage" necklace. I liked it & would buy it....just know if you're short (I'm 5'3") & have a short torso, it will hang right in your cleavage....it's not adjustable. It's cute though & fun, different accessory.

Easy dress to throw on for a formal affair
This dress fit perfectly and was comfortable. I got lots of comments on the back, and I thought the gold accents in front were slimming. I didn't have to wear spanx, though I probably should have. :)

Dress Runs Big
I loved the dress, but couldn't wear it b/c it was too big. I usually wear a 6 in most designers, but in this case, the 42 was too big (and most importantly, too big on the chest to wear without fashion tape, which I didn't have),

Fancy dress!
I liked this dress. Unlike the fit notes, I didn't find that sizing down for a 2nd size was a good idea for me....I did that originally & then had RTR send me the 6 as an additional size...it was just a tad too tight on the back with the bra I wanted to wear. I will say the 6 was a bit loose around the waist, but with the fit of the dress, you couldn't really tell. It's definitely unique; there is actually quite a bit of bustling in the back, so be prepared for that. It wasn't my favorite look ever from RTR (probably b/c the fit wasn't perfect on me), but it was cute for the winter event I went to...

Love this purse!
I've rented this purse twice now...it's perfect for formal events & can be used as a clutch or an over the shoulder bag (with the strap out). The only thing you need to know is that it's too small for cell phones if you have a big one (Samsung Galaxy), but if you have a date that can hold it or a pocket in your dress, you are good to go.

Jumpsuit probably better for women 5'4" or taller
The top fit well on the 6, but the crotch was a bit long. It wasn't terribly flattering....I've liked jumpsuits of a lighter material better that I've worn before. I think it would look a bit better on someone a bit taller (or a bit thinner so that you could wear the 4).

Earrings are clip-on
I didn't notice in the details that the earrings are clip-on; they ended up not going with the dress I ended up wearing, but I would have worn them otherwise. They are very pretty! I think noting clip-on really large by earrings on the website would be helpful.
