so pretty but unflattering
I didn't end up wearing this because it looked way too frumpy on me. I think it's very flattering on thinner and fuller figures, but I am kind of in between and it just didn't work. That said I think it would be an excellent option if you're going for comfort!

would not recommend
I received tons of compliments and the dress was really flattering but it was NOT worth the discomfort. I spent the whole night adjusting the top to make sure my bra wasn't showing, and the boning was popping out of the sides and digging into me all night. Pretty but absolutely ill-fitting/uncomfortable so I wouldn't recommend unless you're just wearing it for photos.

Very pretty & comfortable!
I received this as a backup after the dress I ordered didn't work out. It's a gorgeous color and the style is really flattering! It definitely runs large and I would have preferred a size 10, but this worked out fine. It's a pretty light fabric and would be more suitable for spring/summer events.

So flattering & comfortable!
I wore this to a fun work event and it was perfect! It's so comfortable and extremely flattering, especially for curvier girls. I was a little self conscious about too much cleavage but I would say it shows an *appropriate* amount and I was able to wear a regular bra. It runs a bit large so definitely size down for your backup. I'm between a 10-12 and usually go for a 12, however this dress was perfect in the 10. This is def the kind of dress you wished you owned - I could wear this again and again!

I rented this clutch to wear with a black dress to a fun work event. I love the glitter and the size was perfect! Would recommend, great accessory to add a little something extra to an LBD.

Super cute!
I wore this for a casual work event/happy hour and it was really comfortable! Runs true to size. I'm familiar with the brand so I knew it would fit but it may not be the best for large chests/curvy figures - it would probably be tight across the chest if larger than a C cup. The fit is loose but also shows your figure, it doesn't really fall away from the body so much. Super lightweight and great color!

I wish I owned this!
I wore this to a work event and it was perfect! The fabric is not too heavy so it was a good choice for warm weather. The color is so great and I got tons of compliments. It runs true to size but I just felt more comfortable sizing up on the day of the event - it's pretty form fitting across the back but very forgiving in front. I'm a bit uncomfortable with my midsection but felt fab in this. Great choice for curvier girls!

great dress!
I ordered this dress as part of the 3 for 1 deal over Valentine's Day weekend. I didn't end up wearing it but I would love it for another occasion! It was a little too formal for my dinner and the size 12 was a bit too big for me - I decided to order a size up from my normal 10 because it looked like most girls who normally wear a 10 ended up wearing the 12. I felt this fit true to size so I would suggest ordering whatever size your normally wear. I loved the style though - the peplum is very flattering if you are a bit self conscious about your midsection and the top is sexy without being too revealing. Would love to rent again for a wedding!

so cute
Loved this necklace! I wore it on Valentine's Day with a low-cut dress and it looked great. It reaches down to about where your bra connects. I love dainty gold jewelry so this was perfect!

love, love, love!
I need to buy this dress! It was SO flattering and a great option for curvier girls! It was really comfortable but still sexy and my boyfriend loved it. You can definitely show some cleavage if you are comfortable with that but there are also 2 small clasps to close the v-neck up a little. I always think Free People runs a little large so I could have went with a medium but since I would be sitting/eating a lot I just ordered the large to be more comfortable. Def recommend!

perfect style for work event, runs small
I wore this dress to a daytime work appointment. The style was perfect for my event but it definitely runs small - my regular size 10 was not even an option and the 12 was still tight across my chest/arms. Since it's so cold out right now in the NE I was able to wear a blazer and feel more comfortable with those areas. I would have given more stars but the fabric looked a bit worn/fuzzy and wrinkled badly after sitting for a while. I would still recommend this dress for work events (preferably standing) if you need something relatively casual and inexpensive - it's a great color and the length/neckline are perfect for work-related functions.

great dress!
This dress is true to size and super comfy! It's loose fitting around the body but pretty fitted across the chest and arms so it does give you some shape, it doesn't just hang like a sack. I work this to a work holiday party and it was perfect for the event. Still I don't think I would wear this again or suggest it for other parties, weddings, etc...the color is great but it's a little boring. Also the fabric does not breathe so I would not suggest for dancing or warm-weather events.

Perfect size!
This clutch is really cute and the perfect size for a special event - I used it for a wedding and it just fit my iPhone, lipstick, lip gloss, powder/brush, gum, and credit card case. FYI, it does not have an inside pocket and it comes with a long silver chain if you prefer to wear it on your shoulder/cross body. I love the neutral color and the shimmer makes it really pretty! Would rent again!

Gorgeous necklace!
I paired this necklace with the Cynthia Rowley Voltaire Dress and they looked great together! It's gorgeous and sparkly and everything you would expect from the photos. Definitely has that antique silver look/feel. For those of you with sensitive skin - the morning after my event I did notice a rash on my neck where the chain lays, so if that is a big issue for you, maybe consider renting a similar style.

Antique Crystal Cherish Necklace

Gorgeous dress!
I got so many compliments on this dress! It is so pretty in person, the model/customer photos really don't do it justice. The fabric is thick/somewhat heavy but I wore it to a summer wedding and it was perfect. As others have stated the "white" is more of an oatmeal color. I wore it with the Ciner Antique Crystal Cherish Necklace and they looked great together! My only complaint is that this dress definitely runs a bit small in the bodice - it was pretty tight around my arms and chest, so I would recommend sizing up for your backup & know that it may not be a great fit if you have a large chest or broad shoulders. It was honestly just so pretty that I didn't care about the fit issues!

Adorable but so ill-fitting!
I gave this dress 3 stars only because it did look really great and I got tons of compliments BUT I was so uncomfortable in it all night! It absolutely runs small so if you're in between sizes make sure you choose your larger size and the next size up as your back up. My normal size 10 actually looked and fit better everywhere (arms, skirt length etc) except the bodice which I was unable to fully zip up. Even when I sized up the bodice was so tight I couldn't wear a bra and the back still wouldn't button closed. I wore it zipped up but unbuttoned and was worried about adjusting my boobs all night. Honestly I don't think anyone else could tell and like I said, tons of compliments. All in all I would not recommend renting this unless you have an extremely narrow chest! It's really pretty but I would have preferred something I was more comfortable wearing.

classy, professional
I didn't actually wear this dress - RTR sent it to me because they didn't have my chosen dress in size 10, but I ended up wearing that dress in a smaller size. I still tried this on and actually loved it! My event was a fall wedding so this dress wouldn't really have been appropriate in my opinion - it's more professional than fun - but I would definitely rent this for a business event. It fit like a glove and the peplum was extremely flattering on my figure. Although the dress is more fitted which I'm not usually comfortable with, I felt great in this and it's definitely true to size. The pattern is more noticeable in person than in the photos which is a plus.

gorgeous!
I wore this necklace with the Rebecca Taylor Peeping Out dress to a fall wedding. It's really gorgeous and I got a lot of compliments! The dress has a really high neckline so this short necklace looked great. You do have to be careful of catching the stones on fabric etc - the settings are exposed and giving hugs at the wedding it did pull on my friends' dresses a few times. Still I wish I owned this because I can see myself wearing it often!

love this dress!
I rented this for a fall wedding and got so many compliments! I was a little worried at first because RTR didn't send me this dress in my regular size 10, I only got my backup in size 8. It fit perfectly! There's definitely some stretch to the dress so if you're in between sizes I would recommend sizing down for your backup size. The neckline is extremely flattering and the skirt hides any problem areas you may have in the tummy/thighs. I paired it with the kate spade imperial tile necklace and it looked really great! Would definitely recommend.
