Boxy and Frumpy
This ran very large, and just didn't fit me. It seemed very boxy instead of fitted. Very unflattering, which was disappointing because it's so pretty in the pictures.

Just didn't like it
This made my shoulders seems really broad (I don't have broad shoulders at all). It just didn't look good on. It seemed lumpy and ill fitting. The collar is weird and doesn't look good.

Fun Dress for a Charity Ball
This was a really fun dress! There were some weird things though. I had ordered the 0R and 2R as a backup. I've never had to wear my backup size before, but this dress runs small. But the 0R was much longer than the 2R. The 2 was a little big on me, but the length was better. I'm 5'5" and wore 3 inch heels and the dress was right off the ground. Also, the zipper was on different sides of the dress. The 0 had the zipper on the side that didn't go over the shoulder, and the 2 had it on the shoulder side. Not a problem, but a little strange. I would recommend sizing up for your backup dress.

Fun Dress!
I really liked this dress. It's not my style, but I was going to an event with a "sequins and sparkle" dress code. And I had a lot of fun wearing it and received a lot of compliments. It was comfortable (I was able to wear a racer-back bra). It is short, but I like short dresses. It's loose around the tummy - which I need after having twins. Overall it was very flattering and fun!

Nice Dress
This was a nice dress. Not the most special dress, but it was nice. I wore it to a cocktail attire event for my husband's work. It fit perfectly. I'm a true size 0 and it fit true to size.

Great Dress!
I wore this for my husband's company christmas party. They did a Country Christmas theme. I thought that this dress fit the bill and looked great with my boots. The dress fit perfectly, I wore the XS. It was short, but not too short and since it's not fitted, being short was OK! It was very comfortable as well!

Not My Favorite
This is probably my first RTR experience where I wasn't thrilled with the dress. I had asked for recommendations from a stylist and described my body type, and really don't think that this was the best idea for me. I am quite thin, but have a larger stomach right now after giving birth to twins. I'm also very small chested. The good news was that you couldn't see my stomach at all in the dress. The bad news was that it was so tight around the waist. It was so difficult to zip - partly because it was so tight but also partly because the zipper wasn't in great shape. Now, the top on the other hand was very large. I had a 2 as a backup and it fit better in the waist, but it was huge in the top. So I was uncomfortable with a too small waist in the 0 but still with a too large top. Also, the white part was slightly dingy. There was another girl at the event in the same dress and there was a noticeable difference in the whites. The size 2 also had make up marks on the top of the dress (not noticeable when wearing the dress though). The dress was just a touch long - I'm 5'5" and wore 3 inch heels. Just slightly too long, it wasn't much of an issue. All in all, the dress is pretty and I don't think that it looked bad on me, but it just wasn't the right dress for my body type. And the zipper really was a pain.

Loved this Dress!
This was a fantastic dress for a formal charity gala. I'm a true size 0 and it fit perfectly! I have a very small chest, and it wasn't an issue. I wore a regular bra - maybe not the best idea, but it worked for the most part. My stomach bulges a little after giving birth to twins and I felt that this dress hid it well. I'm 5'5" and the length was great with 3 inch heels. I do think that the color is a little different than the picture - more blue, less purple, but it's still a beautiful dress. It was very comfortable as well! As always, RTR customer service was fantastic!

Great dress when trying to hide a belly!
I wore this to my husband's work Christmas party. I had given birth to twins 2.5 months before the party and my belly was still bigger than normal. I was looking for a dress that would hide it and that I could wear a regular bra in. This dress did a good job! I usually wear a size 0, so I got this in a 2. It was a little big on me, but I think that was a good thing. Many people said that they couldn't believe that I had just had twins - which was great to hear since I was not feeling too good about the way that I looked.

Pretty Dress
The dress is really pretty. I found that it ran a bit large around the stomach area, but it was quite tight in the arms (and I have very thin arms). I was worried that it would be large in the chest since most of the other reviewers were much larger than me in that area, but it wasn't a problem at all. It is very short - I wore this to my husband's office party. I just had to be careful when sitting down, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all when standing up. The dress was very comfortable (maybe because it was a little big!)

Amazing Dress
This was just a beautiful dress. I rented it for my husband's office Christmas party. It fit me perfectly and was very flattering for my body type. It's on the short side, but not too short. I was very comfortable wearing it, and loved the compliments that I received on it. I wish I owned this one!

Gorgeous and comfortable
I had rented a different dress for my husband's office Christmas party, but due to an ice storm UPS said my dress would not arrive. RTR was very helpful and sent me 2 other dresses free of charge. I loved this dress! It was so comfortable and very pretty. It fit almost perfectly, maybe just a tiny bit big, but nothing terrible. I'm 5"5" and it was short, but not inappropriately short for an office party. The dress that I had originally ordered ended up arriving at the last minute. It was a difficult choice, because I loved this one, but I decided to go with my original choice. If I have another party where I can wear this dress, I would definitely rent it for that!

Beautiful Dress, Very Uncomfortable
This was a gorgeous dress. I received compliments all night. I'm 5'5" and weigh 105 lbs, and I got the 0R. I wore 4" heels, and the length was just about right. It was a tiny bit on the small side, but I think I'm just used to things being big on me. I have a very small chest, and I don't think that there would have been much room, if I were any bigger. However, the boning on the dress was coming out on one side. It seems to have a small hook on it as well and was the most painful thing I have ever worn. I spent the whole night trying to push the boning back down and ended up with a terrible mark that lasted 2 days. I hope that I just ended up with a bad dress and this doesn't happen with all the other ones.contacted RTR afterwards and they were awesome. They said that they won't rent this one out again and they gave me a refund. It really is a beautiful dress, and I would recommend it as long as it is in better shape than this one.
