Great color, fun, modest dress

The color and style of the dress were awesome! I have a 35.5" waist, about 45" hips and (with some push up) a 43" chest, with about a 38C-D bra size. I kind of felt like I was rocking a bit of a 50's glam vibe :) The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars was that the dress had a funky smell to it and what looked like a cigarette burn in the front through the top two layers. Nothing anyone else would have noticed, but I was a bit disappointed in the quality control.

The straps did not sit right, I did not wear it.

The torso was a bit too long for me (I do have a slightly shorter torso) but it mad the straps sit too loosely and the v dipped awkwardly low. I could have used fashion tape, but it would not have sat quite right on me.

Great rehearsal dinner dress!

I opted for the 12 instead of the 10 because the smaller one was a bit too clingy. The material doesn't really hide bumps and bulges, but it was still a fun dress! I am a 36C (on loosest hook) with a 34" waist and about 44" hips in this picture. I was about 165 pounds here. I would love to rent this again when I can wear a smaller size and feel a bit more confident in it, but overall it is a great dress! (FYI, the burgundy dress to my right is also a rental :)

Great accent piece for my simple bridal shower dress!

The color and draping were fabulous! It spiced up my outfit just enough. I would definitely rent this again with the right dress!

A perfect dress for my bridal shower!

I wore this for my early spring bridal shower and received so many compliments! I probably could've worn the 10, but it was a bit more form fitting than I wanted for the event. I am about 170 pounds in this picture, 34" waist, 44" hips and 36C bust (although I probably had my bra on the largest hook). This was comfortable and easy to move around in.

Adorable and so fun to wear!

I rented this for my 30th birthday out on the town. I received so many compliments! The fit was flattering, the length was perfect and color was so vibrant! I am 5'5" and about 150, with a 34 inch waist, 42 inch hips and 36C bust. I wore it with a regular black bra, as the fabric is sheer on the upper half of the bodice, and this blended in well. It was fairly uncomfortable in the 'sleeve' as it was a bit tight here, and the sequins rubbed a bit. From the picture, I thought the detailing was embroidered, as I don't usually wear sequined dresses due to discomfort. One of the pockets didn't really lay flat while wearing (I am a bit 'hippy') but I loved having the pockets! I loved wearing this, but am on the fence about renting it again just because it wasn't very comfortable.

Fun dress rented for chaperoning homecoming

This was a form fitting dress, and the material is a bit thicker so it helps to smooth things out a bit. I have fairly muscular arms, so the sleeves were a bit snug, but in general this was a good fit. Waist~31", hips~40" and bust~38" with a 34C.

Va-va-voom!

This dress was definitely an attention-grabber! Very fitted, I actually could have probably gotten away with a 10R, because the 8 was a bit snug, except for in the bust. I wear a 34C with about a 38 inch measure around my chest. I have about a 31-inch waist and 40-inch hips and am 5'5", for better reference. This was a very fun and sexy dress for a formal rehearsal dinner.

Absolutely stunning!

This dressed hugged every curve beautifully! I have about a 31 inch waist, 40 inch hips and 38 inch bust. I wear a 34C, and am 5'5". The 6R was just a tad short for my 4-inch heels, but it was such a beautiful dress, that I didn't mind the length. I prefer a tighter fit, which is why I went with the 6, but the 8R would have worked very well, also. I would absolutely rent this again!

Adorable, but unforgiving seam at waistline

I rented this for New Year's Eve, but was unable to wear it due to the tightness at the waistline seam. This made it uncomfortable and caused the zipper to bunch up in a very unflattering manner. I currently have a 35" waist and tried the size 8. One size up probably would have been fine, but the 8 was actually my backup size, and I wasn't able to have it delivered until the day of the event. Kuddos to the RTR customer service though, who helped me process my does not fit return immediately, disappointed it didn't fit, but I will probably attempt this one again in the future.

Beautiful, flowing gown!

I sized up at the last minute after my last dress was too small, and it was a good thing I did! To be honest, it was a bit more difficult getting into the 10 than the 8, and the waist lining looked like it had been split and restiched, which may account for this. Ultimately the 10 was a better fit, but still a bit snug. To give a better idea, I currently have about a 35" waist, and wear a 36C-D. At my current measurements, I would probably go with a 12 to be a bit more comfortable in the waist. I wore this for a formal winter wedding and received tons of compliments!! The length was perfect with 4" heels (I'm 5'5") the dress was easy to dance in, the color was gorgeous, and I absolutely loved how beautifully the dress flowed! This was my first full-length gown rental, and I have to say I was quite pleased. I was able to wear a regular bra, but pinned it to a racer-back style (safety pin or paper clip works) in order to line up the straps with the cut of the dress. All in all a great choice that I would definitely consider for future formal events!

HOLY BLING!!!

I had a birthday credit, so I picked this from the suggested items to make sure the credit didn't go to waste. What a fantastic choice! It complimented the dress beautifully, and I was so sad to send it back! This was my first jewelry rental, and I'm so happy I got it! I would love to rent this piece again!

Knockout color, great for a birthday date!

Dress runs quite large, I have worn a 6 in most rentals, but wear an 8 in (express) jeans and dress pants. Very fun and comfortable material, and certainly made a statement! I wish I had done more than just go to a comedy show in it! If I need a great red dress, I would definitely have this on my list!

A great statement dress!

I was in charge of the homecoming dance for the school I work at, and I rented this to go with our 'enchantment under the sea' theme. Unfortunately, I was so busy all night That I completely forgot to take any pictures :( Very form fitting up top, and rather unforgiving if you have hips. Be prepared to wear spanks or some sort of control garment to smooth everything out. But I received a ton of compliments and really enjoyed wearing this dress! It also seemed a little more purple in person. I had thought it looked like a mixture of blues in the picture.

Fantastic twirling dress, but not great for larger bust sizes

The color was great, but the lace looked a little worn along the bottom. The fit guide says it works for any bust size, but I would not recommend it beyond a B cup. I wear a 34C-D and the dress had a disappointing flattening effect, which in turn shortened the look of my torso and made me appear wider. However, if you like dresses that flare when you spin, this is perfect! I had a blast on the dance floor with this detail!

This was the perfect dress for a summer wedding!

I am 5'5" and at the time of the event weighed about 135 pounds and was a full 34C. The dress hit about mid-thigh, although I do have a little bit of a shorter torso. I got so many compliments, and every time I get a notification of new items added for purchase, I look to see if this dress has made the list, because I would absolutely LOVE to have it in my closet permanently! I have never felt as pretty in anything as I did in this dress!
