Wow this dress is gorgeous. The fabric is heavy and thick and the color is a deep garnet. Plenty of fabric in the skirt to make you feel feminine and the seam between the skirt and bodice is well placed to create a flattering silhouette. The bodice is tight and it's cut pretty low in the back - I only just managed to get it zipped over spanx. The low point of the sweetheart neckline is waaaay down there, like at the bottom of your sternum - I am not one to shy away from a low-cut top but I was not willing to wear this around my coworkers and bosses. A woman with a smaller chest than mine (38G) would likely do very well in this dress but it was a bit too much boobs even for me so I didn't end up wearing it. I still give it 5 stars though because it is excellently constructed, I adore the fabric, and it's hella flattering. If my shape changes, I would definitely rent this again. (for measurement comparison, I am 5'5", ~200lb, and usually wear a 14/16).

This dress was sent as a last minute replacement and I did not end up wearing it only because it was slightly too casual for the wedding I was attending. It fit wonderfully however, plenty of room to move and breathe. I like the style of it better in person than in the photo; it's fun and I love the ruching on the bodice and the sleeves - it makes the dress like a modern version of something I would have worn in high school. The flower pattern is small but pretty and the skirt length is flirty but long enough to sit without worrying that you're flashing anyone. I often have problems finding things that fit my frame from RTR but this was so comfy I am going to stalk the clearance so I can hopefully grab it when it goes on sale. I will definitely be renting this again in the future. (for measurement comparison, I am 5'5", ~200lb, 38G, and usually wear a 14/16).

This dress was a selection for a last minute replacement and my friend urged me to try it. This is a style I would NEVER try on my own - I am a bigger girl with a "generous" chest and I thought the high neck and the lack of sleeves would combine to make me into a blobby nightmare. I WAS SO WRONG. I loved how I looked and felt in this dress. It fit with room to breathe and the skirt length was a good balance between sexy and appropriate (with tights) for a workplace wedding. The dress is lined except for the part of the dress overlying the upper chest; this allows skin to peak through and soften out that high neck. The gold overlay fabric is gorgeous and glam. I hardly noticed the lack of sleeves, and although I thought the boxy shape of the dress would only compound my boxy frame, it nipped in just enough at the waist to feel fashionable and attractive. The only problem area is the zipper in the back, which has a bit of trouble getting up through the lining and the gold lace at the waist seam. I got compliments from everyone I talked to all night and I felt fantastic. Really glad that I took a chance on this dress and will keep it in my rotation for the future.

These earrings are fantastic, light and easy to wear. The teal area is translucent so the first impression is that they aren't as vibrant as the photo but light hits them really well. They are a good size - large without being so long that they touch your shoulder. Will definitely rent again.

This was a backup backup dress sent to me after two other dresses weren't available. I didn't like the picture online and I wasn't excited about the scuba fabric but once I had it on, I didn't want to take it off. The pattern is more subdued than it appears in the picture. I had to wear a corset to both fit my larger chest (38G) into the dress and for support, as the shoulders of the dress cut in and would have exposed a traditional bra strap. The scuba fabric was very comfortable and I could have worn this dress for days. I got compliments all night and didn't even feel like I needed to cover up my arms, usually an area I keep hidden. I'm glad I took the chance on this dress and would rent it again. Plus, the pockets were big enough to fit my phone!

Bust: 38D

This is a beautiful dress and fit to size. I loved wearing it around my house but it was far too formal for the wedding I was attending and did not end up wearing the dress. The neckline is a medium-low cut and I did not feel like my 38G chest was over or under exposed. It was 2-3 inches too long for my 5'5" frame but the right heels probably would have taken care of that. Note that the dress is bias cut, so it will be flattering for some but for me, it did not set off my waist the way I would have liked. The sequins are arranged in lovely spirals but are rough, esp under the arms, and would have scratched had I worn it longer.

I normally wear a 12/14 and I could never wear this dress - my size 8 friend could not fit into the 14 I ordered. The dress is a beautiful, rich, heavy fabric with a significant amount of structure - I am a 38G and I would not have needed to wear a bra. It's cute and flirty but just be very careful about the size you get.
