Size up at least twice!
This dress was absolutely gorgeous and it accentuated my small waist! Definitely size up a bit. I'm normally a 6 but wore the 10 comfortably.

Classy LBD!
The flare starts below your hips, so if your hips are a problem area, it accentuates them. For this reason, I wore the size up, just so the top part wasn't so tight. Besides that, I loved this dress. The fabric was thick and the skirt was just fun!

Absolutely loved this dress!
This is one of those dresses I wish I had in my own closet! It's conservative, incredibly flattering and pops out against a sea of black! I'm really hoping this goes on sale soon, so I can keep it for good!

Should have gotten the six.
I should have gotten the six, but with some fashion tape is was an easy fix. It was an incredibly attractive dress and hid problem areas well.

Perfect accessory!
This was a perfect statement necklace for my dress with a sweetheart neckline! It's not too heavy either.

Not extremely flattering on someone with larger hips.
This dress looked beautiful on other renters and the model; however, it looks terrible on people with larger hips and a larger bust. It wasn't terribly flattering and was a little itchy because of the material.

Couldn't wear it :(
This runs terribly small. I was able to get the larger size (my normal size) up and zipped--however I could hardly walk in it and couldn't sit at all. I was going to a formal event with dinner and didn't feel comfortable with how tight it was. I surely would have ripped it if I did wear it. It was extremely tight in the hips and slightly tight in the chest.

Great for a philanthropy event!
The dress fit really well--especially from the torso up. However, there is a lot of layers below the skirt that make it poof out. I didn't mind this except for the layers/padding in the back. It made my butt and hips look a lot larger than they actually were. It wasn't too noticeable, but definitely made me a little self conscious.

Super cute and classy!
Fit: This dress has no stretch in the chest. I usually wear a 6, but wore an 8 instead and it was still a little bit stretched in the chest. However, my waist would have fit perfectly in the 6! Bustier women should size up for their backup! The skirt was roomy and had pockets--it was also a very classy length, stopping right above my knees. Color: Sadly, the colors weren't as stunning as they were in the picture. It is more of a dull neon green than the brighter yellow that is shown on the model. Overall, it was super cute and made for a very classy look.

Such a cute and unexpected touch!
This bracelet was gorgeous and such a cute, unexpected and quirky touch to my outfit! It was a bit heavy, but it stayed closed and wasn't distracting if it moved around.

Cute, but a bit un-flattering.
The fabric, color and quality of the dress was all perfect! It even had pockets! However, it fit awkwardly at the waist and hips. There's a bit too much fabric at the hips, creating a very square like from the waistline down. Wouldn't rent again for my body type.

Photographs stunningly!
This dress was perfect for a semi-formal dinner-dance I attended. It may run a little large--but I still had to wear my normal size to allow for my large bust--otherwise a 4 would have been fine. The dress photographs stunningly and was the perfect cut and length. I absolutely loved this dress!

Great, bright colors!
I bought this dress from RTR's clearance sale and can't wait to wear it out! It fits true to size and the colors are perfectly bright. I might add a small, solid waist belt to help break up the loud pattern and define my waist.

Perfect dress for a wedding rehearsal!
This dress was absolutely perfect! The material was heavier, so it was very flattering and forgiving of any problem areas (Hips!). It was a decent length, without being too long or scandalously short. The neckline was cute and the detailing was a nice touch. The zipper got stuck a bit, but not enough to worry about it. I would absolutely rent this dress (or the other colors) for another occasion, Perfect Lilly is always perfect! For whatever reason, it won't let me upload a photo--sorry!

Great pop of color!
Overall, the dress was only so so. I wore it for a video assignment I had to film. The dress' waistline did not align with my natural waist, which resulted in a bit of a frumpy look. Because the way the bottom flairs out, it definitely made me look wider in the hips. However, the color was stunning, the neckline was gorgeous, the pockets were wonderful, and it was a great length. I would not rent again, but I think that's just because of the way it looked on me personally. Material is stiff and isn't stretchy--so moe well endowed woman, like myself, may experience some digging into the skin at the top. Would be great on someone with a different body shape!

Everyone told me I looked like a Greek Goddess!
I'm usually a 6 and found the dress to be a bit baggy--but the 4 fit perfectly! Both dresses were good quality and the 4 even seemed to be brand new, because it still had tags on it. It was incredibly flattering and provided enough coverage in the bust area, while still being sexy! The sequins did not bother me all night; they didn't itch at all. I wore the regular and it was a bit long for me. I was wearing 3 in. heels and it was better. I wore it to my sorority's formal, so the heels eventually came off when the dancing started and a few people stepped on the hem. However, it didn't tear or stain! I got so many compliments on the dress--so many people told me that I looked like a Greek Goddess. It was a wonderful dress and would recommend it to anyone! My overall RTR experience was perfect! The dresses arrived on time and it was incredibly easy to send back; RTR even send me a goody-bag of free Neutrogena samples. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
