Perfect for Engagement Party
The fit was great and the details were very pretty. Received a ton of compliments. My only issue is it was a little longer than I would have liked it to be but because of my height this is usually the issue with rental dresses. Overall it was great and comfortable.

Non-stop Compliments!
Wore this dress to my office holiday party and it was a huge hit! Unfortunately didn't get a good picture of me in it but everyone was complimenting me on it. It stands out but not too crazy. No real issues with the sequins irritating my skin which was great. Very flattering in the midsection for a body hugging dress. It was fairly short on me at 4'11'' so if you're concerned about it being too short take that into consideration.

Very Cute but Didn't Fit
The dress is very cute in person but unfortunately, if you're especially petite (small not necessarily skinny) it might not work for you. The cutouts in the front hit below my bra and the only way I could have worn it in public is if I had the ability to hem the shoulders. The waist and length were perfect though, so it was disappointing. Beware if you have problems with straps on dresses being too long because that was the issue here.

Would Rent Again!
Probably one of my favorites rented from RTR. Perfect material, substantial and not see through at all. Length was great even for me at 4'11'. The color is the best part, photographs great and bright but not too loud for a wedding. Extremely comfortable - I even thought about buying this one.

This Dress Gets Tons of Compliments!
I think this may be the 9th time I've rented from RTR for a wedding and this dress in particular probably got the most complements ever. Even people who didn't see me in person stopped to mention how gorgeous they thought this dress was in pics. The material was very nice and sweat proof, the flowy-ness was a lot of fun, and the length was great even for a very short person (4'11') like myself (wearing 3 inch heels). Many people complained about the tightness of the neck which wasn't an issue for me - the issue for me (probably because a petite size offering would have been better for me) was the length/size of the arm cutouts were too big for me and poofed out a bit (almost to the point where you could see side boob). Also, around my rib cage below my chest the dress was VERY tight, but the medium was too big in the chest. Overall, I would say most ladies could give this one a shot - it does look gorgeous on and was fairly comfortable throughout the day/night.

Sparkly & Comfy
I really liked this dress - it was perfect for an NYE dinner. Sparkly/shiny but not over the top. Fit very comfortable around my curves and I felt relaxed in it while eating/drinking/dancing. The length on the size 2 was perfect even for my height (4'11 - usually dresses are a little too long). My only complaint is that the dress is starting to wear from use, you can tell with some of the sequins becoming loose/strings hanging out of the dress, and it will EASILY snag on loose jewelry so watch out! All in all, it was a great value and worked out well for me.

Beautiful dress, fit was off
This dress is beautiful in person and the color is so nice. I took my normal sizes 2 & 4 and the 4 fit a lot more snugly than anticipated. My boyfriend said it looked great but it had no room to give and the biggest reason I didn't end up wearing it is that while it 'fit' the back zipper was bunching up and down the entire back of the dress - which made it look awkward and too tight. Take a size up or 2 if you have a bigger bottom.

Glitzy, cute and comfortable
I found this dress last minute for a black tie-optional wedding and like always with RTR, it worked out great. I ordered the 2 and the 4 and the back up 2 actually fit better and was short but not too short. The detailing was really nice and not over the top sequiny/sparkley. The material breathed well even during the indoor/outdoor cocktail hour for the August wedding I wore it to. Easily able to dance and move around. Only criticism is that it would shift upwards while walking revelaing the slip underneath and the sequins got a little scratchy around the arms but nothing that made it too bad wearing it for 5 hours. Received lots of compliments throughout the night!

Fun & Bright Dress for a Summer Wedding
This dress was actually a last minute backup as there was a shipping snafu with my original choice but I'm so happy I got this one anyway! After reading reviews I went with my usual 2 or 4 sizes and Since the dress is non-structured on the bottom (loose but not baggy or too poofy) and tighter on top I'm glad I had the 2 as backup (sizing down for me). I loved the purple sheath underneath that was shorter than the bright pink lace over the top. It was a little bit sexy but still full covering and I received many compliments. Material felt nice and breathable even in 100% Florida humidity. It was comfortable to dance in the entire night.

Bright & Colorful for Summer Wedding
The dress was incredibly comfortable and hugged the body but wasn't too tight. Material was light and breathable so it was great for dancing and in the heat there was no way to see any sweating. Even though I'm already pretty short the dress itself too was short so had to be a bit cautious bending over. The quality was nice but I have a hard time believing the dress could be worth any more than $150. Either way, I enjoyed wearing it and would wear it again.

Perfect for a Charleston wedding
While both dresses fit great, I went with the 2 rather than the 4 so it would be a little shorter. The material feels expensive and the detail is beautiful, as well as the color in person - true to the photo. The temperature for the outdoor/indoor wedding I attended was around 100 degrees and 100% humidity and this dress did not feel too heavy and didn't show any sweating. It was super comfortable once inside and easy to dance in. It was perfect!

Sexy & Sweet for Spring Wedding
I was nervous about squeezing into the 2 (my backup size) as the 4 was unable to be delivered the day of (RTR did a great job making it up to me!) but luckily I was more than able to squeeze into it. It was very comfortable, although a bit snug but still breathable and danceable in. It is definitely SHORT, I am only 4'11' and it was a "mini" on me. The shoulder pads didn't bother me and I actually liked it gave more definition to the upper body. Only cons - it rides up very easily, especially if its snug/size down on you and I was constantly pulling it down. Overall, I liked it a lot - but would have loved to try on the second size for reference.
