On the more fitted size, but I was able to fit into my usual 6 without a problem…I did end up wearing Spanx to ease my own insecurities 🙃 The dress was perfect for a 1920s themed murder mystery party, and I got lots of lovely compliments!

Perfect for a summer wedding on a very warm day. Definitely would recommend heels if you are on the shorter side, but the hi-lo style meant I could rent a long dress and not worry about tripping on it all night. Excellent for dancing :)

I love the color, and I'm always a fan of lace, but know that this dress does run short (and I'm only 5'1''!). It's also lower cut, but with fasteners, not too scandalous :)

For my first trip to Vegas, I really wanted to try out a jump suit for the first time - this one was perfect. I felt fabulous and comfortable the whole night! I did need to roll up the legs, which I expected, but not a problem, especially with some sizable heels.

This dress was perfect for the rehearsal for my Catholic wedding - beautiful and fashionable, but conservative and classic. Both the size 4 and size 6 fit, but I ended up wearing the 6 because it was a bit tight in the bust. Overall, though, a very comfortable dress. I also appreciated the sleeves in late November :) The length was perfect for me at 5'1", with the dress hitting right above the knee.

I feel like RTR was made for dresses like this...I wanted something extra fun for my bachelorette party, and this one was absolutely perfect. I'm not a sequins person normally, but I think this dress is very tastefully made. I felt great in this dress - it was very flattering and comfortable!

I LOVED this dress! Although it is a fitted look, it was incredibly flattering and comfortable. The color was beautiful in person. I would rent this one again!

I wanted a formal look for a night out at the theater, and this dress was perfect. Because I'm only 5'1", it was basically a floor length dress, which was not a problem for going out in DC. Would definitely recommend!
