This dress was a replacement when another dress I ordered didn't fit. I went in person to RtR and picked it out. It is gorgeous - pictures don't quite do it justice! The rich color, embroidery, and draping all make it look very expensive. Also, the way it trails behind you is so fun. I felt like a princess at ball all evening. Received tons and tons of compliments. Fit-wise, be aware (as mentioned in other reviews) that the top of the dress is tight and creates a corset-like effect. If you don't want cleavage, skip this one. (I am not so bountily-boobed that I minded at all.) Definitely do consider renting this dress if you have an event where you want to stand out from the crowd. It's a beauty!

Oh, this dress is so pretty! It's got great movement, color, and sparkle. It's also comfortable to wear and true to size while still being flattering (hugs the body nicely with no weird bulges or squeezing.) If you like your arms & shoulders, this is a nice one to wear, as it shows them off. Unfortunately, I forgot to get pictures while wearing it, but it definitely looked stunning and I will likely rent it again for other formal affairs.

I rented these to wear with the Badgley Mischka "Take the Stage" gown, and they were a perfect accessory. Not too flashy, but just large and fancy enough to complement the dress. Very comfortable, too. Wore them for hours and no ear pain.

I ordered this for a "prom" event and while the dress would have looked stunning on, it runs very small! My usual two sizes did not fit. (For reference I am short-waisted with an hourglass shape.) So ladies with a nice set of hips - size up even more than you might think. I did get the dress on, I just couldn't zip it. It looked gorgeous, but sadly was booked in all the other sizes the dates I needed it, so I ended up not being able to wear it. RtR was great in helping me find something else, though.

Wore this to an outdoor weekend wedding. This dress is stunning and fit like a glove. Gals, don't be afraid to wear this dress TIGHT; that's how it should fit. It is essentially a "wiggle" dress. I wore the 2; my backup - a 4 - technically "fit" me as well, but it had areas of loose gapping in the waist, neck, and shoulders. Bear that in mind when you order, and don't choose this if you're not comfortable wearing something body-hugging. However, if you love your shape (especially your hips and butt!) this dress will make you look and feel amazing. Two notes: I did find that the zippers on both dresses were very worn. I think this is from constant dry cleaning. It wasn't bad, but when trying on both, I was a little nervous I might break them. (Thankfully, I didn't!) Also, another reviewer mentioned the split in the back. Yes, there is one, and it's attached fully to the lining of the dress. If you lift the dress to, say, use the restroom, you have to make sure to line it back up perfectly, or else the split will "curl". If you don't want to worry about fussing with the lining, this may not be a good choice for you. If I actually owned the dress, I'd probably cut the lining along the bottom so that it didn't pull on the split at all. It didn't bother me, but I read all the reviews here in detail, so I want to make sure to share that with the rest of you. The dress is very colorful, which I loved. I paired it with the Kate Spade Hot Pink Statement earrings, which looked made for it. In summary, I loved the dress and was sad to send it back. Numerous friends who saw pictures told me I needed to "buy that dress immediately because it makes you look amazing." That's a pretty ringing endorsement! This was also my first rental from RtR, and it was seamless from start to finish.

I paired these with the Nicole Miller Light Beams Sheath dress and they looked like they were made for it. I hate heavy earrings, and these didn't bother me at all. For $5, you can't go wrong renting a pair of these in a color to match your dress!
