Rent this dress!
I needed help to get the zipper up over my upper torso, but once up, this dress really held everything together. No bra necessary, not even for my D/DD breastfeeding boobs. I am usually a 2 and wore size 6R (the recommended equivalent), and that was perfectly snug for me. Something weird was happening with the bodice wiring on one side, but it didn't really make a difference. The length was perfect with 4" heels, but grazed the floor if I wore flats. This dress garnered compliments from complete strangers on the street, and my husband couldn't keep his hands off. I really appreciated feeling sexy again after 8 months postpartum. This photo is of me reconnecting with my babe after the event in a very messy kitchen!

Easy to wear
This was a nice choice for a daytime engagement party. Here I was 7 weeks postpartum and nursing (approx 126lbs and 34DD), so I appreciated that this was forgiving on my body and didn't draw much attention to my chest. I wore the size small. It fit just right, so I didn't even bother trying the backup XS (my pre-pregnancy size). My bra peeked out in the sides in the front, but I didn't mind because the ruffles somewhat covered it and also because I was just happy to feel decent in a dress again.

Great silhouette but disproportionate cut
I rented this as my primary style for a work dinner party. The dramatic sleeves are amazing, period. Unfortunately, the fit was off enough that I couldn't wear it. For reference, I am normally a 0 or 2 in dresses and rented sizes 6 and 8. The 6 was skin tight in the body, but fit fine in the sleeves/shoulders. The 8 was slightly less tight in the body, but way too big in the shoulders. This could have been fun for a non-work event, but it was just a little too short and tight for a professional dinner party.

Cute, comfortable, conservative
This was my backup for a work dinner party and I ended up wearing it. I appreciated the super interesting design and its slight conservatism, which made it a winner for the occasion. I am usually a 0 or 2, and this dress was a comfortable size 2. It garnered plenty of compliments, and the interesting neck/armhole scalloping definitely upped my group selfie game.

Gorgeous
Loved these. The wraparound hook helps keep these in place, although you do need to monitor them.

I need to own this dress!!
I actually tried to purchase this dress from RTR instead of returning it. Unfortunately for me, and luckily for you, it didn't work out. The dress is adorable!! It came with the tags on, is a slightly thicker and higher quality material, and feels very well made. I wore it with nude heels for my husband's birthday brunch and it was just the right mix of fun and style. I'm 5'2" 114lb and 34C and the XS fit snugly around the top, which I was fine with, but any tighter and I would have sized up.

My Mistake was Returning It
Words cannot express my love for this jumper. The colors are classy, the fit is elegant and sexy. I rented a 0 and 2, ended up going with the 0 for a snugger fit. I wore it for engagement photos about a year and a half ago and, to this day, my husband says it's the best he's ever seen me look. Not sure what that says about the rest of my outfits... but I'll take it. I really wish I kept this and just shelled out the $298!

Striking dress
Very sexy number. Much heavier than I expected, and the back was either stretched out or cut much too large. My boyfriend (now fiancé) liked it-- might've had something to do with the cleavage. Super tight, so i unfortunately suggest you either spanx it or watch what you eat.

Wish I could have kept it!
I am so in love with this dress!! I was worried it might end up being a flop.. Nope! It's stunning.The fit is true to size (I rented a 6 and 8, wore the 6) and short enough to be flattering on us short gals. It's tailored well to show your curves, but the material is thick enough not to show too much. And oh, that gorgeous print. Such a fun, stylish, and classy number--by far my favorite out of many RTR rentals!

Beautiful but impossible!
I'm so torn here. Like others, I was dying (dying!) to fall in love with this dress. It is truly spectacular on and in pictures. Like others, I sized up from a 2 to a 4 (which was just fine). And of course, like others, I found it nearly impossible to keep the damn thing on! The top is flimsy, made for smaller chests, and just does NOT stay up. I used fashion tape and safety pins, to no avail. My bra showed nearly the entire night.. but oh, how my pictures came out so lovely. I felt really beautiful despite the problems, so four stars it is.

Chic, classy, elegant
Loved!!! Of all 4 rtr dresses I rented for a weekend affair, THIS is the one dress my boyfriend (and most others) really flipped over. It was conservative enough for the temple service I wore it to, but still ultra chic, stylish, and sexy. I wore a small but wish I ordered the xs, as it was definitely a bit roomy. Shorter ladies should note the longer length.
