Great Feel and Flow, Beautiful Color, Amazing Dress!
I would agree with the other commentators the dress runs a bit small at the bodice. I went up a size because of it. But, that was the only issue. The dress has a beautiful color and a great feel. I would definitely rent it again. I got compliment on it all night. Also, I wore it with 3 inch heels and had no issue with the length which I was pleasantly surprised with since I'm 5'2.

Nice!
They were nice and went well with my dress except that I didn't realize until I saw the 2nd picture with my husband that the bottom half of the earring had turned around. So although I loved them and would rent them again... I'd just keep in mind to check on them throughout the night.

Great Statement Earrings!
These earrings were beautiful. I used them during my bachelorette party and they weren't heavy at all. I was able to hang out and dance all night without any issues. Also, I wanted something that would stand out against my dark hair when down and they did exactly that. My hair never got caught in them either. Plus, all my girlfriends loved them and asked me where I got them from, which of course I told them! Thanks RTR!

Simple Sparkle!
Can't really see it in the pic that much but I wore it with my reception dress. It was a simple and perfect for what I wanted. I had a sparkle belt and didn't want a necklace that was overbearing. This was the perfect choice, was not disappointed.

I used it for my reception dress which was also a rtr special! Sorry I don't have a better picture. Nevertheless, it gave my dress the sparkle I wanted without being over the top. Would highly recommend it.

Great Reception Dress!
The dress was elegant but cute and it fit great. I used it as my reception dress and glad I did since I got married in Mississippi and by the end of the night I was hot and ready to get out of my wedding dress. Def a winner.

The material on this dress is amazing.
I loved the jersey look underneath the black which although it wasn't leather it look like it did. It just had a great edgy but elegant look to it. I would have worn it had they had my backup size. I was only sent a 4 since the 6 was unavailable. The 6 would have been the best fit. The 4 fit but was just too snug.

Great fit. Perfect for breezy seaside nights!
The fit was true to size and very comfortable. I paired it with a dark blue cardigan and it helped tie the look together, especially since it was a windy night. The fabric was a thick fabric which also worked well in such a breezy night. But, had it been a humid environment I might have been more uncomfortable. I wore it for my law school's fall boat cruise and I thought it would also compliment a sort of nautical look without looking tacky. Would def rent again.

Couldn't wear it although I really wanted to!
It def runs small and def very formal. I tried it on and couldn't wear it because both, it didn't fit and I thought it was way too fancy for what I wanted. Didn't look as fancy on the image... but maybe that was just my ill perceived pov or the fact that I really really wanted to try it because it just seemed, and was, a gorgeous dress. I also got it as a replacement for another dress so I didn't pay sticker to consider it. Either way... if you want a fancy, beautiful dress... this is a good option. The materials and fabric were amaaazzzz.

They're a bit on the heavy side but gorgeous and fun! I wouldn't wear them for something I knew I was going to be at all day but if it's for a few hours or you don't mind taking them off and going without them for a "earlobe" break, GO FOR IT!.

Wore it to dress up my summer engagement photos with a little vintage flair! Totally worked!
It's silky, and totally comfy. You can dress it up or down. Great for day long affairs. I had both the size 2 and 4 delivered went with the 2 since the fit was essentially the same and I wanted the shorter look. I think with romper the short short look is best to amp up the sexy... other wise you look like you're wearing a onesie. All in all, I'd definitely wear it again! And my fiance loved it!

Uber comfy and sexy classy all in one!
It was my backup dress. I had two holiday parties to attend to over a weekend. I wore this one to one and got great compliments. I only had the one size since it was my backup but it fit perfectly. I loved it's elegant classy look and would def have worn it again, if I owned it. It was a hit! It also helps camouflage midsections issues too without making you feel self-conscious.

Felt comfortable and chic!
I wore this dress to one of many holiday parties my fiance has to attend to for work. I had just cut my hair into a short bop and this dress totally accentuated my new cut! The dress definitely looked like it had been around but not obvious to others. The bottom hem was just a bit loose. I ordered the 2 and 4. They both fit great. I went with the 4 only because I'm busty and the 2 felt just a bit more constraining. Overall I was very pleased with the dress.

I felt box-y in it. Decided to wear my back-up instead.
The arms were not tight at all. I gave the dress 2 stars because it was beautiful just not the right for me. I think if you're a full busted skinny gal, steer clear. Looks better on body types similar to the model's.
