Gorgeous but thankful for the backup size!
I actually wore the 6 to the ceremony and changed into the 8 before the reception. The 6 fit, but was a little tight. The 8 gave me room to dance and eat! Got so many compliments, especially on the color WOW. The straps were a bit dicey. I wish I had some tape to keep the girls feeling more secure but overall would wear again.

Perfect for a summer baby shower!
I LOVED this dress. I wore it for my baby shower at 31 weeks pregnant. Let me tell you - having no zippers in a maternity dress is absolutely key. Nothing digging in, no wrestling with getting it zipped. The cap sleeves also made it easy to wear a regular bra since I was NOT dealing with a strapless or any other option on such a hot day. It felt great in it and got tons of compliments! I almost wish the fabric was a little thinner, but only because it was 100 degrees that day. Otherwise I really appreciated how the thicker fabric smoothed everything out. Highly recommend!

BEST DRESS EVER
I cannot describe how much I LOVED wearing this dress. It was so comfortable and I felt amazing in it all night. I'm actually looking to buy it so I can wear it again and again!

So versatile and comfy!
I was OBSESSED with this dress. I got it as my free birthday dress but I ended up wearing it to a family bridal shower the same weekend. I wish I could have bought it since it would be a great work dress, too!

I REALLY wish there were pockets...
This dress is super cute. I rented it for the rehearsal dinner for my brother-in-law's wedding in May. It was a little tight and even though the material is thick, I was worried about a VPL all night. The color is great though and I definitely recommend it - even with it being a little tight, it was comfortable and I didn't feel like I was restricted moving around. I really wish that ruffle was a pocket, though!! It definitely would have been a plus. I'd recommend sizing up if you plan on eating a lot!

A little long but super cute!
I LOVED this dress. I rented it for a family wedding in May and it was the perfect dress. It was long even with heels (I'm 5'4") but I didn't mind much. I ended up wearing the medium just out of comfort. The small fit but it was just a little tight so I knew I would be able to comfortably move around in the medium. I got a ton of compliments! I would definitely rent this again if there was a petite size available.

Runs REALLY small
This dress is beautiful and the material looks super luxe, but it has absolutely no stretch and runs really small all over. Definitely order 2 sizes up if you can!

Gorgeous, but too sparkly for daytime
This dress is incredible. I loved it but I wasn't prepared for how low the back is (you definitely need a backless bra) and it was just too sparkly for a daytime event for my taste. I would definitely recommend it for a rehearsal dinner or bachelorette though!

Perfect backup plan for my bridal shower!
When the original dress I ordered for my bridal shower didn't fit, I was PANICKED, but RTR's customer service was incredible and shipped me this gem just in time. It runs a little large (I usually wear a 6, but the 8 fit well with just a little extra room). The color was perfect for a winter event and the long sleeves definitely helped with the snowy weather.

Loved this dress!
I read that it runs a bit small, so I ordered one size up and it fit great! The only issue was the synthetic fabric of the skirt wasn't terribly breathable, but luckily we had a cool night for the wedding I went to. I got tons of compliments and I'd definitely recommend it!

WAY too tight.
This dress runs REALLY small! I was disappointed too because it would have been perfect for the Labor Day weekend wedding I rented it for. I'll probably rent it again but I'll be sizing up.

Made me love wearing red!
The color was incredible!! The chest fit strangely, though and even with fabric tape I felt like I was close to a wardrobe malfunction. I almost wish I had ordered a 10P instead.

Simple, sexy, and comfortable
The dress was the perfect option for my January engagement party! My only issue with it was that the sleeves were a bit too big - it would have needed some alterations to fit snugly on my arms and look the way it did on the model. Otherwise, I loved it and got a ton of compliments!

Perfect for a city wedding
I loved this dress, but I wish I had known it runs small and doesn't really stretch. I ordered a 4 and a 6, but even the 6 was tighter than I would have liked - should have ordered an 8 as my extra size!

LOVE the color!
The color was incredible and the material was comfortable and easy to wear. The proportions were a bit off on me since I have a short torso (I had to pin it at the bust to avoid any awkward moments), but I still loved it! I wish a petite version had been available since it was a bit long, but wearing heels solved that issue.
