Expensive look! Rich color and pattern.
The color and pattern of this dress was so much more rich and luxurious than I had expected. I wore this to my brother's October wedding in New England and got so many compliments. The style of the dress was exactly what I was looking for, fitted in the waist with volume in the skirt. The top has a deep v-neck, fine for small cup sizes. Larger cup sizes would show a lot more cleavage. In my opinion, this dress ran on the smaller side through the rib cage and mid-section mainly because the material has no stretch. I wore the size 2 and suffered through the tightness because the size 4 was too loose in the chest/straps so I would have been adjusting them all night. I highly recommend this rental especially for the price!

This would look good on all body types!
I ordered an XS and SM and wore the XS. There wasn't a drastic difference in the sizes except for the small having more material and the XS having a slightly tighter neck. I imagine this dress would look fantastic on all body types because the cut is so forgiving. It is completely shapeless but at the same time felt really fashionable. The material is heavier than I expected. I wore on a 90 degree day to a church wedding ceremony rehearsal (no AC!) and to dinner after. I was hot. I dressed up with a long necklace but could have done a statement necklace, too. The dress has good movement and the loose fit would be great if you wanted to hide your mid section. I imagine this would be a fun dress for dancing. Highly recommend!

Too big, otherwise 5 Stars!
I ordered the Small with no back up size. I am 34B on top. The dress was so big in the chest that it had an inappropriate amount of side-boob. There is no way to adjust the neckline, it is elastic and goes over your head. I used an elastic band to tighten it and wore my hair down. I wore this for a pre-wedding BBQ on a hot, humid day. The material is light and airy. The print was great and the colors vibrant. Overall, the dress is casual. My particular dress had definitely been well loved/well worn. There were bronzer/self tanner stains on the lining but they were not visible when wearing. I was kicking myself for not ordering an XS back-up. I highly recommend sizing down if you are small chested! (Sorry, forgot to snap a pic!)

Tight in the chest
I wore this dress to a formal work party. I am usually a 2 but went with the 4 because the top was unusually tight. I am a size 34b and the 4 was even a little too tight. The downside is that with the larger size the skirt was bigger! The gold in the material makes for a more formal feel along with the high/low hemline. The dress has pockets, too which is always a plus. I would recommend this dress but pay close attention to the reviews regarding sizing!! Sadly, I did not get a full picture of me in the dress to share!

Perfect Holiday Dress
I wore this dress for a special birthday dinner. Gorgeous, rich color is more purple than maroon. The secondary color is black. Could be worn with black tights and still look elegant. Fit my body type perfectly. The skirt is loose but not a full skirt. This cut made it so easy to wear. May be difficult if you have a large bust (not much stretch). There is nothing I would have changed about this dress. Another amazing RTR experience!!

Sad to send it back!
I wore this dress to a bridal shower. The cut accentuates the waist with the wrap style and is fitted on top but looser through the bottom. The chest closes with a hook & eye which was not a problem for me because I am small on top. Could be an issue for larger chests. There are a few snaps at the waist which is how the dress stays-put in addition to the tie at the waste. I am 5'2" and it hit me just above the knee. The silk material is a perfect weight and there was no wrinkling from sitting. I really loved the ruffle detail at the neck and chest. I paired with nude patent leather flats but would wear with heels to dress it up. Gorgeous dress!

Great Work Appropriate Party Dress!
I rented this dress for a work party. The colors are great, the piping is dark navy not black. The material is super thick but stretchy. I wore this at an April. I would not recommend for summer event because the material was not breathable. Thankful for the stretch because my back up size of a 4 was not available so I squeezed into the 2. The length, cap sleeves, and neckline made this appropriate for a work event. The slim fit and piping gave is a little sex appeal. I was sad to take it off at the end of the night!
