Got compared to Beyonce in this jumpsuit
This thing was a show-stopper for sure. I do feel like it was pure luck that I wasn't between sizes; it seems like lots of renters have sized up, but if this thing were any bigger it would've been baggy and dull-looking. The magic of this jumpsuit is its ability to make your bod really pop without looking risqué. That said, it's kind of a pain. I wore fashion tape, and as others have pointed out, that meant replacing it every time I had to pee. It was also a little hard to move around in – I didn't feel like my arms had great range of motion (but my arms and shoulders are a bit large compared to the rest of my frame). I'm still very pleased with this jumpsuit, though. If you rent it and are short, be sure to cuff the hem so it hits at a capri length! Hems stayed cuffed all night without having to pin.

Cute, but didn't have that "wow" factor so many dresses on RTR have
This dress didn't show up in time for my event (UPS's fault, not RTR's, and their customer service team more than made up for the trouble UPS caused), so when I tried it on, I didn't have plans to actually wear it and didn't REALLY try hard to style it. The smaller size was too skimpy to wear without a slip – the slit and neckline were pretty intense – and the bigger one was just a little bit "meh". But I would still recommend for a casual party!

Didn't fit my proportions properly
This dress is beautiful, but it just didn't hit my curves right. The waist and stomach were too baggy, and the hips were too tight – plus the neckline was way, way too low! (I'm not a conservative person, there was just no way I could walk out of the house with the neckline looking like it did.) I don't think sizing up or down would have made a difference – it just didn't fit right. Luckily, RTR is amazing and I was able to drop this dress back in the mail for a full credit.

Perfect for a springtime brunch wedding
This dress was great! It's comfortable, a good length (for short girls like me) and receives a ton of compliments. I bought a stick-on bra to wear with it, but I think you could get away with not wearing one in this. It's definitely a "dressing for girls" dress: it gets more attention from girlfriends than from men. But I'd rent it again in a heartbeat!
