Great color, great cut

I got so many compliments on this dress! I do agree with the other reviewers though that the straps are a tad bit long, and got loose/fell down when I was sitting.

Holiday party sparkler

I wore this to my husband's Casino Night themed holiday party, and it was a big hit. I rated it 4 stars because despite its gorgeous material, it was scratchy under the arms (as most sequin dressed are) and it was a little longer than i would've liked it to be. The material is a little unforgiving and shows everything since it is very fitted.

Super comfortable

I loved this dress; the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it was a few inches long on me. Otherwise, it was comfy and forgiving and a great choice for a late summer wedding.

Unique eye-catching pattern

I loved this dress, especially the pattern and the length. I am only 5'2" so many dresses are longer on me than they are meant to be, but this one was a great length -- not to long, but not too short. The only criticism I had was that since I like my dresses to be more snug, the back v-cut puckered a little bit. The back clasp was also a little cheap looking -- it was different on the size 2 and the size 4, so I imagine that it needed to be replaced on one of the dresses.

LBD with some fun

I really enjoyed this dress for a New Year's Eve masquerade ball. It was flattering and comfortable, and provided at least a little bit of warmth due to the thicker material. Highly recommended -- I didn't want to take it off!

Lots of sparkles in Vegas

I liked this dress, it wasn't incredibly heavy, which was especially important during the summer months outdoors in Las Vegas. However, having the sequins all over the dress meant that whenever my arms rubbed against the dress (particularly my triceps) there was a little discomfort. I didn't end up with scraped arms, and it was only slightly uncomfortable, but it is definitely worth mentioning. As far as sequined dresses go this was one of the more conservative ones, but I had fun wearing it.

A very bridal-y dress

I liked this dress for my rehearsal dinner, although it wasn't quite as white as I thought it would be. It's also a pretty thick material, which was fine for the weather we had, but could be uncomfortable on a hot day. I did not have any trouble with the longer straps like others said, but I did size down from my normal size. The length was appropriate for rehearsal dinner on me since I'm pretty short.

Gorgeous print for sunny wedding

This is one of my RTR favorites. It is flattering, and was only slightly long on me. I was worried about the length since I am only 5'2" and maxi dresses usually make me look like an Oompa Loompa. With 3" heels, I stepped on the dress only a few times. Wearing 4" heels would've probably been perfect. It is fitted in the bust, but fit well. The slit goes up to mid-thigh, but is not too scandalous. I seriously love this dress and would definitely rent again.

This dress is hottt!!!

This is my new favorite RTR dress (given the appropriate occasion). I wore it for my bachelorette party and felt fantastic. Despite the dress being tight, it is somehow really flattering. I usually have a really hard time looking like I have a waist without some defined waistline, but this dress magically made me have a waist. It also somehow hides love handle imperfections, as I definitely do not have as smooth of a torso as this photo makes it look (and I didn't even wear Spanx). It is pretty short, which is really saying something because I am only 5'2" and dresses are usually long on me. I would totally rent this again and again.

Fantastic color for a summer wedding

I think I should've gone down a size. The dress hung beautifully, but when I sat down, the back puffed out and the straps got loose. The zipper pull is also a little uncomfortable when sitting back in a chair. The slip underneath is not completely opaque, so despite two layers of fabric, you can tell whether there are darker undergarments being worn. The bodice of the dress has boning in it, so not wearing a bra is completely acceptable. Despite some of my minor complaints, I got several compliments on the dress and was very happy with this selection overall. For ladies who want to rent this, my suggestions would be to use some fashion tape to keep the straps in place, and wear nude colored undies. Definitely worth a rental.

Fun dress for my engagement party

Loved the fit of the dress, although it would have been more flattering for me if there were a defined waistline. The dress is not as light colored as I thought it would be, based on other people's photos... it is definitely beige with a silver pattern. The length was good for a short person like me, it hit mid-thigh and wasn't too short. I got a lot of compliments on the dress, and felt really good in it!

Cute dress for engagement photos

This dress fit very well in my normal size 4. I went one size down for my alternate, and while it fit in the waist and length, the outer curves of the sleeves went in further, which made my shoulders look broader than I like. However, the 4 was amazing. It is well lined where it needs to be, considering the dress is white. The length was good, and not nearly as short as it looks on the model. I would definitely consider renting this dress again for my engagement party or rehearsal dinner.

Rich color made this dress stand out at a country club wedding

This dress was a gorgeous color. The neckline is a little weird because material was not creased as well as it should have been, and the fabric inside of the crease is not attached to the inside of the dress. I needed a safety pin to make sure that the dress stayed closed and did not show too much cleavage, and pinning the dress was actually pretty difficult. If I rented this dress again, I would use an iron to make sure the neckline the creases were crisp.

Gorgeous color for a winter wedding

This dress was fantastic. I usually don't go for cap sleeves because of my broad shoulders, but there was no problem in this dress. I wish it were a little more fitted in the waist, because the shoulders and length were perfect. It did ride up a little bit, so I had to keep pulling it down. I would definitely rent this dress again!

I got engaged in this dress!

This dress was flattering in the waist, and definitely created cleavage. The material is also more green than I expected. I was able to wear a normal bra with the dress without having to adjust the straps constantly. I ended up wearing the size 4, because the size 2 wouldn't even zip up past my rib cage. However, the 4 could have been a little more fitted through the waist. It seems like there is a big difference between the size 2 and size 4. Complaints: As others mentioned, the neckline was a little weird -- the material felt loose in the chest area, and I found myself constantly making sure that my bra wasn't showing. The material is pretty thick, so the warm room I was in made it uncomfortable. The skirt that was also short enough that the back of my legs weren't covered when sitting on a leather chair in a warm room... yuck. The dress also wasn't lined, so it was a little itchy around the back and shoulders. But all of my complaints about the dress (besides the neckline) were pretty situational and related to the warm room. If the event I was at was mostly standing in a cooled room, I probably would have given it 4 stars.

Bright dress for a bright summer

The bodice of this dress was snug on me, while the skirt section fit well and was comfortable. I usually don't do well with cap sleeves, because my shoulders are broad and that makes dresses fit tightly around the arm openings. This dress did end up being slightly tight around the arm openings, but not enough to make the dress too uncomfortable. The length was great for me, and it hit right at mid thigh. I am only 5'2", so usually dresses end up being much longer on me, but this one was great. I ordered my second size to be one size smaller. It fit, but was too snug, and I wouldn't have been able to eat anything without the dress becoming uncomfortably tight around the rib cage. Overall, I really loved this dress, and is one that I can see myself ordering again (which I am reluctant to say because there are so many stellar choices on RTR). This is definitely a great pick!

Stunning pattern!

I loved this dress! The print is almost more vibrant in person than it is in the photographs. I sized up to the 6 instead of the 4 I was expecting to wear, because the dress is a little more fitted in the torso than I was expecting, despite the higher waistline. The 6 fit very well, and I was glad to see that the dress was a good length for me, despite me only being 5'2". I can imagine that the dress might be a little short on people who have longer legs. So far, this is my favorite dress I have rented from RTR, and would rent this one again.

Eye catching dress

This dress fit like a glove. It sucks in in the right places, but won't hide everything. If you are (as I am), a little self conscious about love handles, then some shapewear under the dress will help. Otherwise, the dress was just as stunning in person as it is in photographs. I was expecting the fabric's pattern to just be a print, but it is actually a thick, textured material, which could get a little itchy at times. I wish my legs were longer so that the dress hit mid-thigh like it did on the model, but being only 5'2", it hit about an inch above my knees. Overall, definitely a great dress.

Cute, bright dress

The dress fit well and was comfortable. The material was thicker than I was expecting, so the skirt wasn't "swishy" and didn't have too much movement. Although I didn't want to go out and buy the dress after I wore it, I would recommend it as a rental.

High quality, but strange fit

I wanted to love this dress, but the top did not fit very well. Since it is backless, there is no support in the chest, and the top part of the dress ended up being kind of baggy, which did not show in the RTR photos.

Versatile dress, can be dressed up or dressed down

The length of the dress was great, and the bodice was fitted. The 6 probably would have been a little more comfortable for me, but the 4 helped emphasize my non-existent waist a little more. The only part I didn't like was the top of the bodice... somehow the dress seemed to emphasize any "armpit fat" if you know what I'm talking about (the part at the top of your boobs and below your shoulders?)... maybe it just fit me a little weird, but I covered it up with a cardigan. Was good for the occasion, but it didn't make me want to go out and buy it.
