Casual and classy
This dress is one of the most comfortable that I have ever worn. Not see through, and the neon piping is bright and catchy. I rewore it two days later to just kick around in.

Wedding glam!
I wore this over my wedding dress (a-line skirt). I felt awesome! It was such a super way to have fun with the big day. Definitely works well over a higher waisted bottom.

So adorable
I wore this the morning of my wedding and felt so adorable and sexy! Only con is that it is impossible to go to the bathroom without help because of the zipper placement and tie. Be ready to ask for help!

Runs humongous
Absolutely order a size down, if not two. This was a replacement dress I could not wear. I am 5'6", 150 lbs, and a 34DDD bra and the 8 was swimming on me. I may have even fit in a 4 as the dress is stretchy, but the 6 would have worked.

Felt Pretty, Not like a Rockstar
This dress is very beautiful. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it does fit wearing a regular bra or strapless bra - I had ordered a low back extender just in case, but didn't need it. I wore it with red heels, which were the star! Some RTR dresses make me feel WOW! This one made me feel REALLY NICE. My bra size is a 34DDD and this is a safe bet for larger chested ladies. I probably will order it again only as a back-up dress, since I know it fits and looks good.

Sexy for a Bachelorette!
The dress is short and definitely a great one for anyone with great legs! I felt sexy and powerful in it. Con: I do have a large chest - 34DDD, and you could see the bottom and top 1/2" of my bra in the front in the cut outs. Huge bummer. I was moving around a lot so nobody noticed it, but I can tell in the photos.

Bridal shower - Sexy & Functional!
This was actually my back-up dress and I got a lot of compliments. The black is actually more of a dotted mesh than a sheer gauze, as I thought from the picture. It also goes across the back, but isn't low enough that you can't wear a bra. The length was mid thigh - perfect for a shower when I was picking up presents and moving them around! I could easily assume it would be great for dancing at a wedding without worrying. The colors are bright. It isn't my typical type of dress, and that made it all the more special that it looked so great. Definitely fun and different!

Too big on top
The pattern is bright and very pretty, and the length is great. I ordered the 8 and the 10, and the 8 fit up top, but was too tight across my back. The 10 fit better, but the top was too big. Basically, it wouldn't lay flat on my chest and was sticking up a bit - you could see the top of the boning a little bit. It would have needed to be darted to really fit appropriately. I am a 34DDD, and rarely have this problem in reverse! Not a great cut for full-figured ladies if your proportions aren't right on with the size chart.

Did not wear - made me look like a teenager
I had rented the Navy Zac Posen dress that is similar (the same) for a wedding two years ago and wanted something brighter for a spring wedding. However, when I put this on it made look younger, not sophisticated. The stitching on the cups made my breasts pop out and they did not look classy - more squished. My bra size is a 34DDD (not an option in the menu!). I would not rent this dress if you are a bustier gal, and want a sophisticated/elegant/look like you can drink alcohol look. Sad. However: the color is very pretty.

GORGEOUS but heavy
I wore these on my graduation day. They are truly beautiful, but they get pretty heavy. I lasted about six hours in them, then had to take them off. Perfect amount of time for a usual formal event, though.

Light dress for Graduation
Really gorgeous, soft color. The apricot is very becoming, and it is bright. I kept cool under my graduation robe and hood, for the most part. It did get warm in there, but luckily and kind of un-ladylike sweat quickly evaporated. Very comfortable, comes with a thin belt that is also pretty and helps cinch in the waist, you can't really tell it's there from the picture. Size 8 worked well for me, very flattering.

Not for the taller, bustier girls
I took advantage of a special rental deal to try this romper out - I always had looked at it and wanted to try it, but was worried how the romper might fit with my body type. I'm glad it was just a test, because I found that this didn't work for me. While it did fit and make my legs look a million miles long, it also shortened my torso considerably; with big boobs, I felt lopsided. Sorry to say this one wasn't a winner.

vintage glam
I wore this with a vintage-y black cocktail dress and some pearl stud earrings - this was perfect! Elastic bracelet was never too tight. Gorgeously put together and it came wrapped through several layers of bubble wrap, so no danger of the stones knocked out en route. Not so big that you were knocking things wiht it. Would definitely rent again by itself!

I would say this dress runs fairly true to size. I usually am a 10, but ended up wearing the 12 for this dress because the bus is a bit small for me (I'm a 36DD). It is extremely flattering and looks very beautiful! Would rent again. Perfect for a wedding. The only caveat is for my full-busted women -- it is definitely busty. As in, gorgeous, but I felt a bit like I should be on the cover of a romance novel. If that makes you uncomfortable, this isn't the dress for you.

Perfect for a Night out!
I rented this dress for my friends birthday party at a bar in the East Village. The dress is jersey, so it is casual and the lace is gorgeous! I got a ton of compliments on it. I felt that the fabric bunched a little strangely at my hips, but I think that was just me, because everyone commented on how slimming the dress was. Extremely comfortable! It is also a little stretchy so I wore it with leggings underneath because of the cold weather and the fit was perfect.
