Almost perfect
I loved nearly everything about this dress except the design of the cups. They were cut too narrow for my body making it look a little off even though the overall fit was appropriate.

Perfect vacation pants
Paired these with a white tank and a low heeled sandal for a beach resort dinner out. US 6 was certainly true to size. I wore the US 8 however for an even looser, flowier feel at the waist. If they’re ever for sale I’d definitely buy them.

Beach wedding guest
This dress was a success for a family wedding in Cancun. The colors are a little more muted than in the photo, but still beautiful and on theme with a sunset ceremony. The dress is linen - so wrinkles will happen. It’s also unlined but I didn’t find it to be see through in a worrisome way. Straps are adjustable. I’m nearly 5’7” wearing with a 4 inch heel here.

Beach wedding guest
Rented for a friend’s destination wedding in Cancun and couldn’t be happier with the selection. As a pretty reliable size 6 - I could’ve worn either the small or medium. The dress is lined, has pockets, and felt cool in the heat. In this photo I’m wearing sandals with about a one inch heel. I wish I could keep it.

Perfect wedding guest dress
Beautiful dress for an early summer wedding in NY. Super comfortable, beautiful color and of course we all love pockets. Size 6 fit true to size. Straps tie in the back allowing for some adjustment. I’m 5’7” and length hit at the ankle similar to the model shown. Would def rent again.

(sort of) true to size
I loved this dress but it did take some creativity to make the top fit better. Without something like fashion tape the sides billowed making the fit look poor. Had one down been available, I definitely would've exchanged it. Super comfortable, great length (I'm 5'6"-5'7") and the back is amazing so I made it work.

Beautiful fabric. Small chests beware.
This dress is very pretty but was a little too heavy & warm for my summer event. It was also too roomy in the busy area, but that being said - it held onto inserts perfectly to fill those gaps.

Great dress. Length was an issue.
Super comfortable and true to size. I didn't end up wearing it because in person it didn't feel formal enough for my event. I do wish it was a little longer though. I'm about 5'6" - 5'7" and it would've been the perfect length had I worn flats. If I rent again, I would look go for the long which would allow for heels.

Beautiful but definitely measure first
This is a gorgeous bracelet! Fit my wrist (5.75 inches) perfectly, without any sliding. I don't think it would fit well on a wrist larger than 6 inches.

Love you, Marchesa!
Another pretty little bracelet from Marchesa. The stones are three different tones (one pearl, one with a pink hue, one with a blue hue) but pale enough to match with many different styles and colors. Very light weight and a perfect size. Marchesa always gets it.

Perfect amount of shine without being TOO bold. Big enough to hold an iPhone 7plus and my lipstick (plus some cards and cash). Shoulder strap can tuck inside or unclip to allow for more space. Would rent again.

Unflattering fit for me
The color and fabric of this dress are very pretty, but the shape fell flat on me. The overall fit was a little too large, making me wish the XS was available when I rented. :( Also, the bottom is very sheer so definitely be prepared with the necessary undergarments. It didnt flatter my shape at all, so I just didn't wear it.

I feel like these earrings could pair with either gold or rose gold. Medium weight and a little bit of sparkle makes them easy to dress up or down.

Almost perfect
This dress was really pretty but I could've used another 6 inches in length. I almost didn't wear it bc of that issue, but it worked alright for the cocktail party I was attending. The pockets were a selling point even though the hanger ribbons were super annoying and I felt like I was trying to keep them tucked ALL night. The material is light and didn't need any ironing/steaming. Size 4 was right on for me.

Cute dress, Wrong event
This dress was pretty, but it just didn't work for me. It runs on the small side, which would've been fine had it not been for the side cutouts. There was just a little TOO much skin trying to push through those holes. lol I usually wear a size 2/4 range and tried on the 4. Maybe had I sized up and had a tan that worked with this very light blue, it wouldve been better.

Pretty in Pink
This dress was super comfortable even though it was quite form fitting. I usually run between a size 2 / 4 and the 4 fit perfectly. No way I could've gone any smaller though! At 5'6", it was also the perfect length with a 4 inch heel.

Nice accessory
...But not a lot of room. I tried to put my iPhone 6 (no case) inside with a tube of gloss and had some trouble closing it fully. The color is bright and fun. Paired perfectly with my bright red dress for an outdoor wedding. Just wish there was more room inside.

Perfection!
I loved this dress so much! Typically a size 4 (and an occasional 2), I went with the 2 this time. And although the 2 was perfect at the waist, there was still a little bit of room left in the chest when I tried to go bra less. I added a nu-bra and that seemed to fill the void perfectly. The material is gorgeous, but it does wrinkle. Prepare to steam it before you wear it. The color is beautiful for a summer event. Im 5'6" and the dress hit at the knee, which was perfect too. I felt like it was made for me. I'd wear it again for sure.

My best RTR dress yet!
Best RTR dress yet At first look, I was skeptical about ordering this dress. It's not typically a color I wear and I was also worried about how it would fit on my small chest. I was so wrong! What a pleasant surprise I had, trying it on for the first time. This dress is just gorgeous and fit like a dream. The construction is on point and the material is high quality. Given that I run on the small end of size 4, I would've liked to have seen what the 2 felt like but it was no problem. The size 4 felt like it was tailored for me. Super comfortable, well fitting and yet forgiving at the same time. Plus it's a perfect color for a summer wedding. I'll definitely shop Christian Soriano in the future. They know how to dress a woman for sure.

These matched perfectly with my bracelet and were the right amount of glam I needed for the evening. Unfortunately they were just a bit heavier than my ears are used to.

Pockets!
Cute dress for a family affair or professional event. It's a pretty silhouette with detailing and color that are both beautiful and bright. The material is thick so I wouldn't recommend it for an outdoor wedding in the summer. In terms of size, I often fall between sizes 2 and 4, but ordered 4 and 6 based on other reviews stating the dress runs small. I wish I hadn't! While the 4 fit fairly true to size, I definitely had plenty of room to spare in both the waist and hips. I think the 2 would've felt and looked a little better.

Disappointed!
This dress is a gorgeous wine color and constructed with a lovely fabric. It has that sexy yet classy feminine vibe that I love, but unfortunately the fit was totally off for me. In most dresses I'm a size 4 (sometimes even a 2 depending on the retailer). After reading the reviews I ordered a size up, but even the size 6 so was so tight on my hips that it crossed the border of inappropriate for a family wedding. It definitely looked like I was trying too hard to squeeze into something that just didn't fit, so I ended up returning it. Two sizes up may have been better, but that wasn't available for the weekend I needed it. Too bad because I really loved the style.

Pretty but...
Unfortunately the size 4 I needed came back damaged from another customer, so I only received the size 2. While the fit was fine and true to size, the length was all wrong for me. It barely touched my ankles. I had to go another direction.

Such a fun dress!
I'm 5'6", wore a 3 1/2 inch heel, and the length was perfect. The color was beautiful, the pattern was fun, and it was super comfortable. In most clothes I usually run between a size 2/4, and found the 2 to be a perfect fit without a bra. With a strapless, it was a little snug on top but still doable. Overall, this dress was a great choice.
