Beautiful color
Beautiful color but was too large in the chest/shoulders. I am petite with a narrow frame and a 34B.

Runs small
Beautiful gown but ran incredibly small. I am very petite but have an athletic figure, and this dress would not zip past my waist. This gown would be best for people with a larger waist to hip ratio.

Classic black gown
This was a last minute replacement gown for a formal wedding, and I was pleasantly surprised by it! I have a very narrow frame and a small bust and felt very comfortable in this gown. The cut and heavier fabric were flattering, while still allowing me room to breathe and eat. The high low hemline was perfect for me, I am 5'2 and wore 3 inch heels. Overall a very classic, foolproof black gown.

Beautiful, interesting gown
This dress was a backup option for a wedding. It was a little tricky to get on, I ended up needing my husband to help me. But aside from that I absolutely loved it. I have a very narrow frame and I loved how the ruching created the illusion of curves. Length was perfect for me as a petite woman. The color is also amazing! I did not end up wearing this dress as it was too tight for a church ceremony wedding. I'm hoping I'll get the opportunity to try this one again for a less conservative event.

Awkward fit for petites
I would have loved to wear this dress for my event- the length, stretchy fabric, and cut were all so flattering. However- I ordered this dress in a 0P and the entire chest/shoulder area gaped open. I probably had about 2-3 inches of additional fabric in the chest area. It would have been too uncomfortable to deal with for an entire night so I went with another dress.

Beautiful and comfortable
I loved wearing this dress! The print and colors are much bolder in person than photos indicate. Make sure to use the tie that it comes with, it was very necessary in order to give the dress some structure. I am 5'2, 105lbs. The 0 fit perfectly.

Great colors
Beautiful dress! The colors in the model photo don't do it justice. Really pops against a tan. I will note that the lower ruffle portion came down to my ankles (I'm 5'2) making it quite a bit longer than tea length. I wore black strappy heels and carried a black clutch. No bra needed- the fabric really has no give and definitely flattened me out quite a bit, but oh well. No defined "waist" either, but since I have a very straight figure it worked perfectly.

Order AT LEAST two sizes up!
Would have loved to wear this dress. The neck and back details are stunning, the fabric is nice and thick, and the length is great. However, it runs incredibly small. Normally I wear a 00 and the size 2 was inches from closing. (Luckily I anticipated that it might be small and ordered a back-up style.) Also, you will need help getting this on! The double straps on the neck are very tricky. Make sure you get dressed BEFORE doing hair and make-up. I am hoping I will be able to rent this for a future event and the size 4 will be available.

Classic, easy dress
Very comfortable and flattering dress. I am only 5'2, so the short length was not an issue for me as other reviewers had mentioned. Love the 3/4 length sleeves. The only con I can think of is that the wrap tie was a little bit difficult to adjust. I ended up just knotting in so it laid flat. Can't wait to rent this dress in the future!

Vibrant purple gown
I rented this for an evening fall wedding, but found it to be too formal for the occasion. I'm only 5'2, so it definitely hits at more of a gown-length than a tea-length. Plus, the color and pattern is so incredibly rich and vibrant- much more so than the RTR model photo! I rented the 0 and the 2 and would have worn the 2- it fit perfectly. Hoping I have a black-tie event to go to during the holidays so I can rent this dress again!

Beautiful gown
Very beautiful dress- vibrant rich red, high-quality fabric, beautiful pattern. Definitely looks a bit more like a gown than a hi-lo hemline if you're shorter like I am. That being said, in my opinion this dress works best at a black tie or evening event. Paired with strappy nude heels and a gold clutch with gold earrings.

Perfect for an early fall wedding
This is the first dress I rented that I was very sad to return! Very classic and beautiful dress. The pros: beautiful silhouette, no bra needed if you're small chested, large pockets, the bottom is a vibrant teal (much more vivid than in the RTR model photo). I did not need to steam or iron the bottom- the fabric is nice and thick and will not wrinkle. The only con I can think of is that the waist is a bit tight if you have a large rib cage like I do. Get ready for compliments if you rent this dress!

Perfect for a fall wedding in the mountains
I loved being able to wear this dress. The tea length + colors were great for an evening wedding at a country club in October. You will need someone to help you into this dress- the inner "corset" is a bit tricky. I did not wear a bra with this- the fabric is very thick, and the boning ensures that everything stays put. I wore this with strappy black heels and a black clutch with gunmetal earrings and it was perfect.

Compliments all night
Worn for a formal event in mid-November. Perfect for the season. Very classic look, and was told many times that I was "the best dressed by far". The sequins did not bother me at all as some other reviewers mentioned.

Very beautiful and quality dress. The fabric is relatively thick so I did not wear a bra. It was longer than I had anticipated. The color was lovely, and I got many compliments!

Great color, classy and elegant dress
This dress is very beautiful, the color is much more vibrant than it appears online- and looks great with a tan. The lace gives it a classic look, and the open back is a stunning detail. The straps are almost a satin-look, part of which give this dress such an elegant look! I ordered both the 2 and 0, and on the day my order was set to ship the zero became unavailable. My back-up style was too big, so I ended up wearing the 2 in this. It was a little roomy, but I made it work.

Very beautiful, but even the zero was too big
This is such a gorgeous dress, and was so disappointed not to be able to wear it! I had to wear my back-up dress because the zero was still roomy in the arms waist and bust. Would recommend this to the women who have curves to fill out this lovely dress!

Looks great with a tan
This is a truly beautiful dress, and was really great for a summer wedding. The bold color was great paired with a peach and turquoise necklace. I got so many compliments! The reason this does not get 5 stars however, is becuase it wasn't the best fit. Although I'm petite, I consider myself to be more of an athletic body type, since I'm pretty much straight up and down. For me, the dress ended up being loose in the bust, tight in the waist, and loose around the butt area. The boning in the bodice was digging into my sides pretty badly. I also had a lot of trouble with the zipper, but luckily I had two friends to help get me into it.

So many compliments!
Wore this for my last sorority formal. Ordered the size 0 and 2. I didn't even bother trying on the zero because the two fit like a glove. I also didn't end up wearing a bra, the top was tight enough that it wasn't an issue. On the model the dress looks so so short, but on me it hit lower on the thigh, which was perfect. Overall, an amazing dress! So unique, and I can't even count how many compliments I got on it!
