Not my favorite
As a petite, I felt this dress looked and felt bulky in the middle due to the ruching and the pattern. I love one strap dresses but the strap felt awkward and too close to my neck. The midi length hit me at a weird place. I wore it because I had no time to spare for a back up to be sent, but I wouldn’t rent again.

Really beautiful
Worn for my nephew’s June wedding in the mountains. Color is a pretty pinkish purple and the print also has black. Perfect length for me. I could’ve worn flats. Material is lightweight and has some give. Highlights a curvy figure nicely while the pattern helps disguise “fluffy” areas ;)) I would rent again.

Not for me
Sized up one size to a 6 but didn’t fit. Too tight in hips. The pattern and colors are not for me, I felt it looked old fashioned. Made me think “church lady”. Didn’t wear it.

Beautiful color - definitely NOT red
Loved the fit of this dress and the color is basically a chameleon so the lighting of the environment determines the color which ranges from coral to rusty orange. I ordered it thinking it was red for a red- themed gala but it looked so pretty I just went with it. Strapless or raver back bra needed. The length brushed the floor on me with 3 inch wedges. It’s beautiful but keep in mind sequins don’t always look flattering in pictures if you’re curvy.

Very cute. Versatile for your occasion.
The 36 fit me perfectly but was shorter than I wanted it to be so I sized up to the 38. Material is thin and lightweight. You can dress this up or down. Elastic at the wrist keeps the sleeves in place while looking flowy.

Classic. Glamorous. I loved it!
I would buy this one in a heartbeat. Skims the body and slight flare below the knee. Perfect fit except for bust area being a little roomy. But a push up strapless bra made it work. I wore 3 inch heels and length was perfect. This gown is comfortable and gorgeous. Easy to walk, sit and dance in. The neckline is perfect for showing off shoulders. I would rent it again.

Pretty but went with my back up dress
Fit and quality are spot on. Very feminine. As far as design, the ruching through the waist and hip area could be helpful for anyone trying to minimize that area. Ii am slim through the waist so it had the opposite effect on me. I felt the print was pretty but didn’t pop enough for a “wow” factor. An understated look perfect for a wedding guest.

Unique and fun!
Wasn’t sure about the ties on the shoulders but ended up loving it. The pattern placement in opposite directions makes the dress. Perfect dress for showing off curves without revealing too much :) Would rent again.

Gorgeous!
Needed a petite length but otherwise the fit was perfection. I had to use fabric tape to hem the length. The ruffle is gorgeous and so flattering but impossible to pin or hem without changing the look. I thought it looked pretty with the ruffle being a bit longer than the rest so I was happy. No bra needed. Beautiful deep navy color.

Runs VERY small!
Simple but classic dress.. I am a solid 4 sometimes 2 and I couldn’t get this dress past my hips for fear of ripping it. Managed to try it on by slipping it over my head and shoulders but then I couldn’t zip it more than an inch. Be sure to check your measurements against the size chart before renting and definitely go up for your backup size

Didn’t wear it but will rent it for another event!
Gorgeous dress. Colors are vibrant. This was a back up dress but I was tempted to wear it because it fit beautifully. I have found all dresses in this brand to be true to my normal size

Even prettier in person! Size up one size - maybe more if you’re busty .
I’m 5’ 2” and wore a 6R. I’m usually a 4, sometimes a 2 but the 6 was perfection. I wore 4 inch stilettos and the dress was floor length without being a trip hazard :) I loved how it swished around my ankles and calves but was fitted in the main body. Standing, dancing, walking, sitting - this dress was comfortable and gorgeous for a fundraising gala.

Weird sizing
Very thick material. 2R ran true to size at the waist - I am a 4 and barely got it zipped. But the top of the dress runs wide and large. In my opinion, this dress was a 2 on the bottom and at least a 6 up top. I agree with reviews that the top gaped. Awkward fit. Ordered 4P but due to issue with the previous renter, 2R was the only option. RTR was fantastic about communicating and overnighted me another gown which actually worked in my favor because I ended up loving it more than this one.

Glamorous gown!
I'm petite and floor length gowns are nearly impossible to find. But this 4P was perfection! This was a 2nd choice overnighted to me when my original selection fell through. It was a lucky mistake. This dress fits like a glove. The flared bottom swishes beautifully when walking or dancing. The back is stunning and I got so many compliments.

I felt amazing in this dress! The color is gorgeous.
I wish I could buy this dress! The green is a gorgeous tone and the dress is well made. I got lots of compliments and felt like a million bucks wearing it :)) Both the small and medium fit me but I went with the medium for extra length. For a sexy fit, go with the small. For a little more coverage and less worries when sitting and dancing, medium is the way to go. The sequins did not bother my arms at all, and the dress felt very comfortable. I hope I have a reason to rent this beauty again.
