Absolutely gorgeous but**
This gown is absolutely gorgeous BUT be wary if you have a large chest. I am a 36DD and it took some serious work to arrange a sticky bra and tape to get everything to sit right and even after that, I felt like I had to readjust all night. I wore this to a black tie wedding and it was such a hit. Big bonus for comfort too! I am normally a size 6 or an 8 and the 6 was perfect.

Classy & comfortable! Perfect for a bride-to-be.
I wore this to my recent outdoor bridal shower and it was perfect. It was almost a 90 degree day and I felt like I could breathe in it. I never wear rompers or shorts, but with the lace trim they have a little extra length and they fell nicely. The best part for me? I didn't have to wear a bra! I'm a 36D so this almost never happens!! The lining keeps everything perfectly in place. The hidden clasp at the neck was tough to do so I left mine un-clipped but you would have never known. For reference I am 5'1, curvy and normally a size 6 dress or jeans. I ordered the size 8 as a backup but I went with the smaller size. So flattering!

Gorgeous holiday sparkle.
I ordered both the small and medium based on other reviews and wound up going with the medium. I'm short so it was an appropriate length on me for my work holiday party. I liked that I could wear a regular bra with it. (I'm curvy with a large chest and I always worry about having to deal with strapless bras). I had shapewear on underneath and the lining of the dress clung to it so I had to adjust a few times, but overall it was a great choice. This dress is the perfect combination of sexy and classy...I paired it with red shoes and it was perfect!

The perfect dress for a bride-to-be!
I rented this dress for my engagement party. I'm usually a size 6 and based on other reviews, I ordered a medium and a large. I wound up wearing the medium but think I could have even went with a small. It wasn't skin tight...it was actually a little baggy in the midsection and the sleeves. I'm short and curvy and the length was comfortable- even with high heels. The dress is lined so it wasn't scratchy, and it was SUPER comfortable - very easy to move around in. I also loved that it wasn't heavy so I wasn't hot in it. Another plus: I was able to wear a regular bra with it! It was the perfect combination of sexy and classy.

Super flattering, great color, nice material.
Loved the material. Thick enough to keep everything in place! I am between a 4/6 and wore the smaller size. The top of the dress is slightly large and you have to be ok with adjusting it once in awhile. The color is even prettier in person! I'm short and found the length to be perfect. Received so many compliments!

Probably the best dress I will ever wear!
This dress is a stunner. I was torn between the small & medium but since the medium was not available, I took a risk on the small. It fits like a bodycon but the material is very high quality- thick and stretchy- so it proved to be quite comfortable and flattering. At 36DD I had never been able to go without a bra so this was a victory in itself! Two things to note: the zipper was nearly impossible to get up so I had to wiggle into it fully zipped. Also the loops for the hanger kept popping out all night and I had to keep tucking them in. Small prices to pay. Paired with a great set of Spanx and I felt like a million bucks. Received so many compliments and I'd definitely rent this hot little number again!

Loved the purple lining and the cutout floral sleeves and neckline!
I rented this dress for a friend's wedding and was overall very happy with it. I'm usually between a 4 and a 6 but rented a 6 and an 8 based on other reviews (specifically if you had a bigger chest to go up in sizes). The 6 fit nicely but was a little loose in the waist/tummy area. If you have a small waist/midsection I would definitely order a size down. I'm short, curvy and 36D and was able to wear my normal bra without the dress being too tight. The material was super soft and comfortable and I was able to dance and move freely all night. As pretty as the dress looked on other women and on the hanger, I felt it lacked a 'WOW' factor for me. Maybe if it were a little tighter I would have felt it. But I do I highly recommend the dress. It's beautiful and classy, and the pop of purple underneath the navy floral design was gorgeous. I saw some women mentioned the slit being too high but it was fine for me - I'm short but wore 3.5 inch heels.

Beautiful dress but I didn't get to wear it.
This was my first ever RTR experience. I ordered the dress in both a small and a medium. The small was so super tight that I could barely get it on/breathe in it. The medium was too big. It puckered out at the hips, was baggy in the stomach and the sleeves were too long. (If it fit better throughout the body I could have easily rolled up the sleeves to hide them). The dress is beautiful and I so wish it fit! It's very sexy and still classy. Would have been perfect for my friend's bachelorette party.
