Great dress for a petite, athletic figure. I fluctuate between size 0 and 2, went with the 2 because there is no stretch to this fabric. It was comfortable, flattering, and that COLOR though! I was able to eat, dance, and sit comfortably in this dress without having to fuss with it. I did not wear a bra with it (32C) and, even though the fabric is light, I felt comfortable. You could easily wear a strapless bra though, if you need the support or want the coverage.

I loved the bright colors and silky material of the skirt. I am petite, so it was long on me, and the straps also needed to be pinned, but I felt good in it and got many compliments. Also, a little girl told me I looked like a fairy, so who can argue with that? Lol. It was a little roomy in the bust...I wore a nubra to help fill it out (I'm a 32C, so not completely flat chested). If you're at all uncomfortable with cleavage this might not be the dress for you.

I wore this jumpsuit to dinner on New Years Eve and got tons of compliments. I love that it was a little different from the usual cocktail dress. The material was stretchy and forgiving. I usually wear a size 2, but the 2 in this jumpsuit was too big in the chest and had extra material bagging out in the lower stomach and hip area, so I went with the 0R. It fit well overall, although the beading on the shoulders limits the stretch of the fabric so my arms felt a little constricted. As far as the length...I'm 5'1" and I wore 4" heels...the hem dragged ever so slightly on the floor, so I used some fashion tape to fold the bottom up by one hem width (about 1") but I think I could've gotten away with not hemming them. I would say if you're over 5'4" and/or are planning on wearing heels over 3" go with the long sizes. Both of my sizes came with the belt. The only downside of this jumpsuit was that it was a little inconvenient when I had to go to the bathroom.

The dress was very fitted, but slightly stretchy, so it was comfortable. The back was a little low cut so I wore a stick on bra with it, although there are snaps on the undersides of the shoulder straps so you could wear a normal bra (although you'd probably need a low back converter). The v in the front has wire so you can adjust it to accommodate how much cleavage you want to show. The only minor cons were 1. No slit in the skirt, which made getting in and out of the car interesting, though It didn't bother me when I was dancing and 2. In flash photos, the metallic pattern tended to highlight any body flaws, no matter how small. But overall I really liked the dress, even though it was my backup!

I rented this for an all black and white, Madonna Vogue themed birthday party. The dress got rave reviews from everyone...it was comfortable and I was able to wear a regular bra with it, though I did use a little fashion tape to keep the neckline from being too plunging. I'm only 5'1" so I didn't have any trouble with the length, but I could see how taller ladies might run in to problems. Also...it's a true wrap style dress, so sit with caution!

This dress was very flattering and looked great in photos. It was perfect for the late summer outdoor wedding I wore it to. I wouldn't exactly call it an easy dress to wear however. It is extremely fitted in the waist with no stretch, and it definitely requires double sided tape to prevent the sides from gaping and the straps from falling down. That said it looked great and got tons of compliments. I would agree with other reviewers that commented on the wear and tear on the dress...the backup size I ordered was noticeably faded and the strap on one of the dresses was pulling apart.

This dress was super comfortable, but it definitely ran big. I wore a 2, which is my usual size, because the 0 was unavailable when I rented. The 2 worked but I think the 0 would have been better, especially given that the fabric has some stretch.

I rented this dress for my bridal shower...It was beautiful and well made. I wore an adhesive bra and had no issues with the sheer back and sides. The gathering under the bow does leave a little room over your tummy, which I had mixed feelings about. On the one hand, I could eat without having to worry about the dress being too tight, on the other hand, sometimes it bunched up in an unflattering way. Also, the dress was too long, although I was anticipating that based on the description. I used some double sided to tape to hem it; it wasn't perfect but it worked as a temporary fix. Overall, two thumbs up!

Runs a little small...I usually wear an XS in dresses like this, but I decided to go with the small for my fiances work holiday party. Had I been using this dress for a girls night out at a club, I would've gone with the XS but it was a little too short and too clingy for the occasion. The dress is stretchy, and there is some boning to provide shape over the bust. Something for tall women to keep in mind; the lining of the dress stops about 4 inches above where the lace ends, so if you have very long legs it might be a little short, depending on where you're going. I'm only 5'1 and the dress stopped several inches above my knee.

This dress was really pretty, and figure flattering...but not my favorite of the dresses I've rented from RTR. I rented the 0 and the 2, since I go back and forth between those sizes depending on the style and designer. The 0 in this dress fit perfectly, however I couldn't wear it because the boning in the interior corset was sticking out a good 1/2" (see photo). Just trying the dress on left me with scratches, so there was no way I could wear it to a wedding. The 2 looked like it had probably had a similar issue and was fixed by sewing a grosgrain ribbon over the bottom of the corset to reinforce it so the boning couldn't poke through. The 2 was roomy in the bust and a little too long, but I made it work with a padded strapless bra. Overall, I was happy with the dress but not in love the way I have been with some others.

Beautiful fabric, TTS fit. The fabric has no stretch, and feels like linen, so it's pretty lightweight. I elected to wear a strapless bra and leave the built in bra strap unhooked, since it caused some weird bunchingin the back of the dress. Unfortunately I then spent the much of the wedding pulling the top of the dress up. It was not the most comfortable for dancing, due to the very straight, non stretchy skirt, boning in the bodice and somewhat loose fit in the bust. Also, I rented the 0 and the 2, and the 0 had clearly been hemmed...it was about 6 inches shorter than the 2. I actually liked the shorter length better but the 2 fit better in the hips. Overall, a beautiful dress though, and one I would rent again.

I ordered a 0 and a 2 in this dress...both dresses fit, but I opted for the 2 because of the length. At 5'1" I do not usually have a problem with dresses being too short, but this one was definitely shorter than I expected. Especially because if you raised your arms, the whole dress rode up, due to the design of the cap sleeves. Regardless the dress was very flattering, the colors were vibrant, and it was very light weight, which I appreciated since we were outside for part of the shower. I wore a backless strapless bra with adhesive wings and had no problems with anything showing. Two thumbs up!

Love this dress, especially when I discovered on-seam pockets! I rented it for NYE. I ordered my normal 0 and a 2 for backup, and ended up wearing the 2. Both fit, but since the lace doesn't stretch, I had more shoulder flexibility in the 2. In the 0 I was afraid the delicate lace would rip if I raised my arms above my head. This dress is beautifully made; the details like the scalloped hem, exposed zipper and scooped back make it really special.

I rented this dress for my boyfriend's work Christmas party. I was nervous about this dress because the day before it was supposed to arrive I got an email saying my first choice size had become unavailable. The size 2 was my backup size, but luckily it fit alright. I had a little extra room, especially in the shoulders, but I was actually glad I sized up because it gave me a some wiggle room after dinner (...and dessert). The sequins did catch on each other a few times, and there were some loose threads hanging off of it because of that, but it wasn't noticeable and I received tons of compliments on this beautiful, festive dress. As the description notes, there is no stretch in this dress, and the ribbon really cinches in your waist, so if you're trying to hide anything through the mid-section this might not be the dress for you.

I rented this dress for a girls night out at a casino (dinner, drinks, dancing, gambling). This dress was perfect! It arrived right on time, in excellent condition. The jersey fabric is stretchy, and lined, so it doesn't cling the way some fabrics do. The sequins add just the right amount of bling so it's not just another boring LBD. Also, I really liked the way it twists in the front. I was able to eat dinner and not feel uncomfortable afterwards. I usually wear a size 0, and the XS fit perfectly. I thought it might be a little long on my because I'm only 5'1", but it hit at mid-thigh, which was perfect. Short enough to be sexy, but not inappropriate. I loved this dress, and I will definitely be renting from RTR again soon!!!
