Beautiful & easy to wear.
Fits TTS, lace tends to catch a little bit, longer than you think it will be (came mid-calf on me, I'm 5'7). Really beautiful dress.

Pretty print, bit of an awkward fit.
This dress does run small and likely better suited for a smaller bust (I felt like I was on display, not in a good way). It is also surprisingly long - which gave it a floaty, fun feeling - but could swallow up a shorter person. The print is fun and vibrant. Definitely size up.

Beautiful, even post-baby.
A last minute exchange, this dress is beautiful and though form-fitting, cut in a way to flatter - even for a post-baby bod. Material feels somewhat thin, but somehow works as soon as you put it on. Definitely need a strapless bra with this, but otherwise, this is dress perfection.

Sparkles galore & very glam.
This dress is very pretty - and very low-cut. I have a relatively large bust, and was a bit self-conscious all night about the cleavage (although the husband loved it). Other than that, it was very comfortable (surprisingly light for all the sequins), and you can wear a regular (low-cut) bra with the dress. It's also fairly forgiving in the tummy, and the Regular length was perfect for me (I'm 5'7 and wore about 2 in heels). The particular dress I wore is on its last legs - lots of shedding of sequins - but overall, a beautiful dress that is perfect for a black tie affair.

A bit twisted.
This necklace is fun for strapless dresses - it is more green than black, and the gold stands out more than you'd think. I liked this necklace, but didn't love it, as I found I had to keep untwisting it throughout the night (the layers don't necessarily lie flat against your neck). Fun, though, for a night.

Steal the Spotlight Necklace

Fun color, perfect length.
The dress is beautiful - the color pops, the fit is snug (but not too snug), and at 5'7", the length was perfect with 2.5-3 inch heels. That being said - this dress stands out for its color, not necessarily for its cut or style. But it's beautiful and worth the rental for a formal affair.

Wedding bracelet.
Wore this for my wedding, was a backup. Wasn't crazy about it - it was heavy, too big for the wrist, and not quite delicate. But it was ok in a pinch!

Great over a black dress...
Wore this over a high-neck black dress - really brought it to the next level.

Flattering, fun and fancy!
Husband thought it was a little big bird-y, but I LOVED it! No issues with feathers falling off, as some previous reviews described. Just a well made dress that was fun to dance in and exciting to wear.

Girl of the Hour Dress
Milly
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 32DD
Beautiful on the hanger, not so much on me.
The difference in sizing between the 4 and the 6 was substantial. At least on me, the 4 fit as a normal, more tight-fitting dress (as opposed to the shift pictured on the model), while the 6 was a long, loose sheath. The sparkles are great, and the back comes down just a little bit, to make it interesting. However, the fit was weird enough that I wouldn't recommend.

Awkward, awkward, awkward.
Ordered both the small and the medium, and neither fit. The small was (much) larger than the medium, but the medium was also still too big - in the sleeves, in the hips, everywhere. Material was heavy and I don't think it would breathe well. I'm also blond and pale, and the white color completely washed me out. Biggest RTR disappointment yet.

Cute dress, great color.
As others have described, the dress runs a bit large and is definitely a shift - it doesn't really come in at the waist the way the model photo appears. However, the color is great, it's easy to wear, and perfect for a day party (wore this for my bachelorette, wine tasting!).

Gorgeous dress...except...
This dress was gorgeous. And it fits like a glove - makes you feel glamorous and slim. Unfortunately, my particular dress had seen better days and the back lining was coming undone from the zipper, making it not possible to close or wear. Although I would have loved to wear the dress, thanks to RTR and their customer service team for refunding the order!

Way. Too. Heavy.
These were much too heavy to wear for even a few minutes; they felt like they might rip my earlobes. And they weren't quite pretty enough for me to try!

LOVED these. Immediately after I returned them, I started a hunt to find them to buy. Unsuccessful so far!

Cute, short dress.
Dress looked "hot" according to the husband - probably because it's so short! Had to pair it with tights to make it appropriate for a rehearsal dinner. Heavy jersey fabric was interesting choice - never would have picked it, but it was flattering and worked really well.
