Very comfortable, pretty color!
I rented the 6 and the 8, the 6 ended up fitting better. The dress was super comfortable- i added a silver sparkly belt I found online and wore silver jewelry. The color is a very light pink and really pretty!

Very comfortable!
Very comfortable dress. I usually wear a medium but was able to wear a small since they didn't have a medium. I think if you are larger up top, it wouldn't work out sizing down but I was able to.

Was unable to wear- beautiful color though!
Most of the reviews said this dress ran big so I rented it in a 6 (8 was unavailable). I am much smaller on my upper half of my body so I usually can wear smaller dresses that are fitted at the top and flared at the bottom. The 6 was too big. RTR shipped me a 4, which probably would have worked, but UPS in my area did not deliver it on time. Its a beautiful color and the fabric is nice- but beware it does flare a lot at the bottom, which might not be very flattering for those of us who are smaller up top and not trying to play up the bottom! :)

Beautiful color, easy to wear
I wore this dress for a wedding. I rented a 8 and a 10 but the 10 was a little looser and I just didn't feel like dealing with a tight dress :) It was very comfortable and the color was beautiful. It's a little plain (i didn't have time to try to dress it up too much) and it was easy to wear!

Love the color!
I ordered this dress as my first dress was too small. I wore a 6 (I usually wear a 6 or a 8, depending on how the dress is cut). The color was really pretty and I loved the straps. I am smaller on top so the 6 worked as it was tight fitting and loose on the bottom half. I wore black tights and black shoes. It was really comfortable and I was able to get it zipped/unzipped on my own without any issues.

Thick material, nice detail
Oh i wanted to wear this dress so bad. The L size was taken so I took a chance and ordered a M and no backup size. The medium was a little too tight and the material is thick but not very forgiving in the mid-section. A Large would have been perfect. However RTR staff was awesome and got me a similar dress that fit and was very flattering. I will definitely keep my eye out for this dress for another occasion (but in a large!)

Dress not worn
This dress was literally brand new (no reviews yet on RTR) and still had the tags on it. Sadly I did not wear the dress- it fit snug on the hips but very baggy in the middle area. The material felt funny too- I ended up wearing another dress I ordered since there weren't any reviews online and I knew it was a gamble! RTR has great customer service however since it was my error, I didn't contact them for a replacement since I had another dress. If you have smaller hips and a mid-section you don't want a dress to be snug on, this one might be a better fit for you!

Very comfortable dress- stretchy!
This dress actually is more of a periwinkle color- I was worried it looked faded when I first got it and it wouldn't be dressy enough but it photographs a darker color. It was very stretchy and comfortable- the top fits very snug across your chest which may be a problem for bustier girls (not me! LOL). I got a lot of compliments- great dress!

easy to wear- so comfortable!
I ordered this dress for NYE. I usually wear a Medium but ordered a small as a backup. Since I ate way too many christmas cookies this year, I loved the dress because it was loose and forgiving in the stomach. the small and medium fit the same however the medium seemed a little longer in length so I wore that one even though the small fit better up top. Will definitely rent again- very comfortable and flattering.

Really pretty pattern and nice material- ended up not wearing
I rented this dress for my nephew's holy communion- sadly, it was just too poofy at the bottom. From the back, it looked like I had a cardboard box under my dress and just stuck out. It's too bad because the dress and back straps are SUPER cute however it just looked funny how big it flared at the bottom (I even tried to pin it b/c I really wanted to make it work). I usually wear a 8 but would have worn the 6 since I'm small on the top.

beautiful bright color!
I really REALLY wanted to wear this dress for a spring event- the dress is beautiful! Sadly, this dress may be best for straight/narrow body types- I ordered my usual size 8 and a backup of 10; the 8 was way too tight in the hips/butt area (i may have ripped it if i sat down!) and the 10 was way too baggy and looked funny. It's brighter then the picture shows and really nice quality- i love the top sleeves, too.

very comfortable- lightweight dress
I rented this dress as a backup and actually did not wear it but I am renting it for a first holy communion in 2 weeks because it would be perfect! It is definitely a more conservative dress but not "grandma" like. It's lightweight (great for hot weather) and very comfortable. fitted at top and flares out at the bottom (but not too much- sometimes those big flared skirts make the bottom half look bigger- this didn't do that at all), beautiful color! highly recommend it!

I rented this dress as a backup for an event in late April. It was very pretty however I went with a dress that was a brighter/spring color. I would definitely rent this dress again for another event. I rented a M and a L- I usually wear a 8 however the L fit better in the butt/hips area. Great dress- definitely one I'll consider renting again.

very comfortable!
This was a backup dress when my first dress was a little tight in the butt/hips area- I was nervous I wouldn't have a dress but according to the reviews, this dress was more loose in that area. There was only a size 4 available (i usually wear a 8) but this dress is fitted up top and then loose in the lower area and the 4 fit perfect! This was not one of those dresses that flares out to make the lower body larger either, which is nice. The color was beautiful and it was easy to wear. You could easily where this dress during the day in the summer with flip flops or dress it up in the evening. Great dress!

great fitting dress- great fabric!
This is the 2nd time I have rented this dress. I had another dress rented but once it arrived, it was too big so I rented this dress again as I know it fits great. I ordered the 6 and the 8 and wore the 6 again. The dress fits snug but is flattering- i was able to wear a normal bra and used double sided tape to keep everything in front in place (dress is a little low cut but nothing inappropriate). Despite being form fitting, i was able to bend down to put on shoes and sit without feeling like I was at risk for ripping material- the dress is made of a thicker fabric and great quality! :)

Beautiful color/fabric but too much flare at the bottom for me!
I usually wear a 6 or a 8- I rented the 4 and 6 because reviews said the dress ran big. Sadly, the 4 was still big on top and the bottom/butt of the dress was just so WIDE and big. The butt area of the dress flared so big that it was double the size of my upper body. I could not wear it and I didn't think a 2 would even help. RTR customer service was great and sent me another dress that I ended up wearing but I was bummed- its a really pretty color and beautiful fabric- i wish it just wasn't so big on the bottom! I have wider hips and it just made me look frumpy.

loved this dress!
I loved this dress! the dresses I ordered did not fit so I contacted Customer Service and quickly went through to see what dresses were available- I found this one and didn't give it much thought- gave it a shot. Well, it arrived and now its one of my favorite dresses from RTR and I will definitely be ordering it a 2nd time. The fabric is thick and good quality- its very flattering, kinda short for me (i'm 5'6) but nothing inappropriate. Reviews said it ran big so I got a 4 and a 6 (usually get a 6 and a 8). The 4 was SNUG and I wore the 6. I'm wondering if I could have even gotten a 8 but that might have been too big. I highly recommend this dress! Adding it to my favorites!

I did not wear this dress- it was too poofy at the bottom- I am smaller up top and the big wide flare at the bottom just looked funny. I did love the fabric- it has a black design in it that's hard to see in the pictures- really beautiful. I usually wear a 6 if a dress runs big however the 4 was even big on me- I could have went with a 2 (but it would still have been too big of a flare at the bottom and too long for me). I wouldn't try this one again simply b/c I know its not a style I like...

Oh I am so sad I didn't get to wear this dress- I have been eyeing it up for over a year now. I rented for NYE and really was excited to reserve this dress. I usually wear a 6 (if dresses run big) or a 8. Since reviews warned me this dress ran small, I ordered in a 8 and a 10. The 10 was too tight...like I couldn't even get it zipped. Granted- I do have wider hips and a smaller upper body but I didn't think for a second I would need a 12- I wish i would have ordered it. Its a beautiful dress- maybe in the future I'll size up x2 and get it again!

pretty color!
I added a belt but this dress was a little too tight for me to wear it. I usually wear a 6 (if it runs big) or a 8- the reviews said this dress runs big. I am smaller in the waist but have wider hips- the Medium was a little snug but i think a Large would have been too big. I would probably order a Large for next time if I were to try it again- dress is pretty, its more of a muted dark grey and not "too much" sparkle/tacky. It just didn't fit me so i couldn't wear

I rented this dress for NYE but did not wear it. I usually wear a 6 (if dresses run big) or a 8. I rented a 4 and a 6. The 4 was too small and the 6 fit funny. Its a pretty dress but it is a little scratchy and the front kinda gathers funny. I guess if I wanted something SUPER sparkly, this would be a good dress but just for NYE dinner- it was too much.

pretty material
I ended up not wearing this dress. I rented another similar dress and went with that one instead. I rented the 4 and the 6 because i figured it would be baggy on the bottom and smaller sizes would work. The 4 was TOO small but the 6 fit great. I have wider hips so I was afraid the loose baggy bottom made them look even bigger. I would rent this dress again though- really pretty color (has silver in it).

beautiful color and cool back!
I rented this dress for a fall wedding. Since it looked like the dress was straight and narrow at the bottom (i am smaller on top then on bottom)- i went up a size and got a 8 and a 10. the 10 was way too baggy but the 8 was a little snug. The color was really pretty and it was comfortable to wear. I ended up wearing the stick on bra because a black or nude bra would have looked funny.

Beautiful color!
I rented the 6 and the 8 for a family wedding. The 6 fit great up top but was a little tight on my hips area, the 8 was baggy up top and the dress moved when i raised my arms but I went with the 8 since it was a family event. The material is very nice, the color is beautiful and definitely stood out. The material around the top of the dress made it more dressy. Another plus- i was able to wear a regular bra. Pretty dress!

beautiful color but weird fit- who can wear this?
I ordered this dress for a wedding and was super excited to wear it. I was unable to wear it. I am 5'6 and the dress was SO short- there is no way I could have sat down. The dress poofed out so much at the stomach- it looked like it would only fit someone who was pregnant (maybe a good maternity dress!). It was not flattering and i think i would have tore it if I tried to sit down however a size or two up would have been even BIGGER at the stomach. I would not recommend this dress despite the beautiful color and fabric.

Very long, tapered dress
I was unable to wear this dress. I am 5'6 and the dress came below my knee and was tapered- I felt like a mermaid. It was even hard to walk in it! The back was very pretty but the front was not. The color is beautiful and the material is very nice but it was too long and tapered to wear.

I ordered the size 8 and 10 because many commented on the short length. I normally wear a 6/8. I only tried the 8 on.. it was a little large, but you really couldn't tell because of the stretchy fabric. It was very comfortable and the length was perfect for me 5'5" Loved the dress!

Beautiful color and material!
I rented this dress for Valentine's day but was unable to wear it. I usually wear either a 6 or sometimes a 8- I ordered both these sizes however the 8 was too snug in the hips/behind area. RTR was great and attempted to send me a 10 however it did not arrive due to the snow storm. This is a beautiful dress and I may try to rent it again in the 10. If you are hippy, you may want to order a size up and your back up be another size up. Not sure if the 10 would have been too big up top. The dress is a beautiful color and material.

Great NYE dress!
I wore this dress for NYE-it was perfect. I was worried because I ordered the 6 and the 8 and the 8 was not available . I usually wear a 6 however the reviews recommended to size up (which i've had to do before on another tighter fitting dress). The 6 fit perfectly. I would not even had tried on the 8 if I had it. I am smaller up top so the ribbon was not tight on my rib cage/stomach area at all and I had no problems breathing! I did not have any problems with the gold being itchy under the arms and the length was the perfect (5'6 and hit above the knee). Highly recommend this dress! i wanted to wear it one more time before I had to ship it back. Definitely going to be a favorite!

LOVED this dress- so comfortable!
I rented two dresses for NYE and ended up wearing the other dress only because a friend was wearing a dress similar to this one. I loved this dress and am already thinking of the next winter event I have that I can rent this one for. I rented the S and the M but ended up wearing the medium (dress and slip) which fit perfectly. I didn't even take the S out of the package. This dress was so comfortable- I literally wore it around the house for an hour because it was so comfy.

pretty ruffled neckline
I wore this dress for a work party where I wanted to be dressy but not too formal. The dress fit well however I do think I could have went down a side (instead of up a size like other reviews suggested) due to the dress being a wrap dress and having a lot of loose material. This dress came to the top of my knee and I used double sided tape to ensure the neckline didn't show too much (not in this picture though- this picture was taken the next day since I forgot to get a picture the day of!). I tried to wear a sweater with it since it's chilly outside but it took away from the dress. I wore gold earrings and nude wedges.
