Very cute but very cleavage-y
I rented this dress for a concert (a rock band playing along with the SF symphony). It was absolutely perfect- but be warned that it's very low cut. I'm not at all modest but i with I had a bralette or camisole under the dress.

Adorable Fall sweater dress
Super cute dress! The fit is great, I love to subtle dots and the chunky zipper on the back. I rented this for a dinner with family- which was canceled- so I wore it to the local brewery for a date night with my husband instead.

Compliments ALL NIGHT!
I've never received so many compliments on a dress!!! This dress fit me like a glove. Like others have said: the sleeves have NO GIVE and were snug on my pretty small arms. I wish I would have read the tips about tucking them in- I would have been much more comfortable. Besides that, it's a really fun dress and fit the theme of this eclectic wedding so well.

So comfortable and stylish!
This dress is incredible! I wore this to my friend's wedding rehearsal dinner. I love that the skirt has hidden shorter panel behind the slit- no accidental slips or exposing anything. The dress did have a snag in the fabric- but nothing too noticeable.

Super cute, BUT SIZE UP!!!
I rented this to wear to my mom's "Celebration of Life". I usually wear a size 2 or 4, but read the reviews stating that it runs small, so I rented a 4 with a backup size 6. I was able to get both sizes on, but even the 6 was really tight in the shoulders. I knew I would be hugging people all day long and would need to be able to lift my arms, so I contacted RTR. A size 8 wasn't available so I had to go with a different dress. Overall, this dress was super adorable and I would have loved to have worn it to the celebration. The material is nice, **it has pockets!!** and the length was perfect. I highly recommend this dress, but be sure to go up at least one size if not 2.

Absolutely gorgeous dress!!
I wore this dress to my daughter's elementary school auction that was held at a local golf club. The theme of the auction was "Mardi Gras" and this dress worked perfectly. I actually paired it with a gorgeous, delicate laser-cut black mask that I found on Amazon. I got so many compliments on this dress throughout the evening. It was so comfortable and I felt beautiful. (the attached photo was actually from the morning after the event- I loved the dress so much I had to put it on again just for the fun of it) As for the fit: like others have said, the lace in the sleeves has no give/stretch. If you're bigger on top or have large arms, be sure to size up.

Not flattering for apple/busty women.
This dress arrived today and is not at all flattering for my shape. You can probably see my body info, but I'm 5'6" and a size 14/16. This dress made me feel like a chubby figure skater. My observations: the lace pattern is large, therefore making my large bust look even larger; the pockets don't lie flat, making my hips poof out (and my hips aren't large to begin with, so it gave me a boxier look). Looking at photo reviews, I see that the dress *can* look great on plus-sized ladies, but it just did not look good on my apple shape. The dress itself is beautiful and I love the gold/nude lining, but it just didn't work for me.

I would buy this dress I loved it so much.
Such a great dress. Like other have mentioned- it runs BIG. I did have to steam the netting at the bottom to get it to lay flat (you can see in other review pics that the very bottom is often flipped up). Mine also didn't come with the belt ribbon but I called RTR and they ended up sending me one which I thought made a big difference in the look of the dress. This dress was so comfortable. I love that the nude lining is sewn to the dress so you don't have to worry about it riding up.
