Beautiful, flowy
I was worried about the color with my skin tone but it felt ok. I did not wear this dress because it was a back up and my primary choice was easier to wear with a bra. Most reviews mention wearing a sticky bra and I definitely agree. I usually wear a 4 and to me, the 2 was better.

Beautiful, bright, summer wedding guest dress
I wore the size 4 and felt the fit was great. My legs are short so the dress hit a little longer but it looked great. I am a nursing mom so the tie was easy to undo and redo. The slit in the back was more open than I expected so I wore a baby blue bandeau bra. I would have maybe worn a sticky bra if I didn’t have the need to pump.

Beautiful but not as "bump friendly" as was for others
This dress was beautiful and comfortable. I am 26 weeks pregnant (2nd pregnancy so a bit bigger) and about 155 lbs. 140 pre-pregnancy weight. I received many compliments. I went with a size 40 instead of sizing up to 42 because the bust would have been way too loose. This dress is not a maternity dress and I obviously knew that renting it. Because of this, the fabric stretched in a way I didn't care for over my stomach. This was probably not noticeable to anyone but me, however.

Perfect for Travel
This dress is elegant and classy. A great color for a fall wedding. But most importantly, it was perfect for travel as it did not wrinkle while folded up in my carry on.

Perfect for a semi formal event.
Pretty, semi-formal, sassy, fun, and comfortable. I received many compliments and felt great. The top fit well which was a concern prior to renting because I'm long waist-ed. The bottom was a bit long because my legs are very short but I still felt confident and loved wearing this.

Sassy Sweet!
I loved wearing this. It's sweet with the pattern and high neck but sassy with the low cut V and panel back. The 4 actually fit better than the 6 because I have a smaller bust but I had to wear the 6 because I'm long waist-ed and the 4 just felt risky short.

Flattering
Conservative with the high neck while flirty with the peek-a-boo flower detail. Flatters the waist. Fun to twirl. Comfortable for a summer wedding.

Fun, Classy, and Sexy all at the Same Time
I really liked this dress. The pattern is fun and flirty. The material felt very season appropriate for a NYE party. The high neck made if feel conservative where the open back gave some sex appeal. The length worked well but the waist was a little loose. I may have tried a 2 because of the loose waist but had only rented the 4.

Didn't Get to Wear
I'm super bummed to have not worn this dress. The RTR staff reached out to let me know the size I rented was returned late or damaged and that they weren't able to send my selection. They did, however, do their best to ensure I was satisfied with the service. I was instructed to choose five dresses (up to double the original rental cost) and I'd receive a replacement based on availability. I'd love to try renting this dress for a future event and I am extremely happy with the customer service.

Perfect
This dress was one of my favorite rentals. It's a beautiful color, a flattering fit, and great quality. I felt comfortable, yet elegant. Of the size 2 and size 4 rented, I chose to wear the 4; I am long waisted so the size 2 was just too short. I received several compliments throughout the entire night and wish this dress was my own to keep.

I Wish I Could Have Worn It
I love love love this dress. It is so pretty, feminine, delicate. I'm very sad to say I could not wear this dress because it was way too short for me. I have short legs so I thought this dress would work. Both the 2 and the 4 fit well. Even the length in the front was okay. However a combination of having a long waist and a fuller butt made this dress much too short in the back. I wanted to make it work but if I moved, danced, or even sat down, my underwear was showing. Such a bummer because it is gorgeous.

Attention Grabbing
This is a great dress. Though it didn't fit me perfectly, I loved wearing it. It's bright and fun, and the open back is sexy. As others have said, this dress runs a little small. I ordered a 4 with a 2 for back up and ended up wearing the 4. I have a small bust so the top was a little loose. The bottom was a little tight on the hips so it would ride up while walking and dancing. I used fashion tape to tape down the hanger straps. Again, not a perfect fit but a very successful rental and I would definitely rent it again because the final look was worth it.

Short
As all the other reviews have said, this dress is very short. Because I have shorter legs, I thought I might be an exception. I was disappointed to have not been able to wear this. With tights, the dress was a little better but I am also uncomfortable with a low neckline. Over all a very pretty dress. It's young and fun. As always, an amazing experience with RTR, as they go above and beyond to ensure 100% customer satisfaction.

Classy
This is a beautiful dress. It's very classy and looks expensive. I think it is meant for a more straight and narrow figure. There were areas around the hips and butt that material bunched up a bit. That's why I went with a 4 rather than my usual 2.

This was disappointing. The 8 was very boxy and the sleeves were tight. The 10 was the same. Very unflattering.

Conservative and sassy at the same time
As most of the other reviews say, the dress runs small. I rented a size 2 with a size 4 back up. I wore the size 4 because it offered a little more breathing room. I think the only way I was able to get the size 2 on was because of my small bust. People with a larger bust should, without a doubt, size up. I absolutely loved wearing this dress. The top is conservative while the bottom and back are obviously very attention grabbing. This was a great balance.

Pretty, Well Made
I didn't actually wear this dress. It was rented for a wedding. I chose a size 2 with a size 0 as my back up. Since the size 0 turned out to be unavailable, I was sent a different dress as my back up and chose to wear that one instead. This dress is very beautiful and well made, but the size 2 was a little too big and I may have worn it if I had gotten the size 0. I think this dress might look best on someone with a fuller bust and/or broader shoulder. The back is very unique and the colors are great.

Pretty and Feminine
I originally rented the Tracy Reese, Charmed by You dress in a size 2, choosing 0 as my back up. Because the 0 wasn't available and I was unreachable when the stylist tried to contact me, this back up was chosen for me. Not having been able to choose my own back up made me nervous but I actually ended up liking this dress better! It fit great and was perfect for the occasion. I loved wearing it and received many compliments. I can't say enough about how great RTR is. I feel like the stylists really do care about their customers and a perfect rental experience.

Great offer!
I loved the option of having a $50 At Home Trial; especially when the $50 goes toward your next rental. This allowed me to try out different styles and shapes that I wouldn't normally risk. The trial was extremely successful and I can't wait to use the credit.

Disappointing
This was the 5th of 5 dresses for my $50 At Home Trial. I'm disappointed in this dress. I did size up based on reviews I read but it was still way too small. I feel like the quality isn't great either. The pattern is pretty and so different, which made me hopeful.

This was the 4th of 5 dresses for my $50 At Home Trial. I loved this. It's a gorgeous color and excellent quality. The zipper on the back gives it a little sass. The dress is super flattering and shows your figure but is still conservative.

This was the 3rd of 5 dresses for my $50 At Home Trial. I loved this dress. It's a very pretty fall color. The detail on top makes it very feminine. The fit is great and it's very comfortable. Not too form fitting but still very flattering. I would definitely rent this for an upcoming event.

Beautiful, But a Little Bulky
This was the 2nd of 5 dresses for my $50 At Home Trial. The dress is gorgeous. A great fall or winter dress for a formal event. It is a little bulky on the bottom and may not be a great choice for people with short legs. The fit is true to size.

I didn't want to return it!
I absolutely loved this dress. It was so fun to wear and I was sad to return it. The dress did ride up a little; I think this is because there's not much stretch to the material. There was also some extra material bunched up in the lower back/above my butt, but this was definitely not a deal breaker. My first RTR experience was a success and I can't wait to rent again.
