Sweet dress!
I really liked this dress, the color was fabulous, the cut was cute, the rosettes were sweet and I wore it for my grad school graduation and beach party afterward. It wasn't necessarily too short, but I do think it hit me higher up than it was supposed to, which made it a little bit tighter around the thighs than it should have been. The tie is very helpful for cinching the waist to make it more flattering, and while it does wrinkle, a little steaming beforehand and the wrinkles fell right out. They weren't noticeable at all. I needed something that would work for two separate settings, and this dress fit the bill. Glad I rented it.

Elegant but still fun
This dress was really great to wear. It was surprisingly comfortable and had an easy fit. The lace was really beautiful, and the lack of lining at the top and back of the dress gave it an unexpected sexiness. It still allows you to wear a strapless bra (as long as it's nude) so that's nice. Also, the color as a light beige/grey was good because it isn't going to get confused for a white dress. I liked that it was appropriate for a mixed audience at our grad school awards ceremony, but still let let me show a bit of personality.

Classy-Hot Dress
I rented this dress for my grad school prom (yes, it exists, haha) but it was really fun to wear. I fit into the small and the medium, but the small had a decent sized hole in the lace that would have been noticeable. That was my main gripe, because it really was a sexy and comfortable dress. I wish I had a bit more of a bust, because the dress would be fantastic for a curvier body shape. Nonetheless, the fit holds you in well, and the criss-crossing lace obscures trouble areas. I am a little concerned about the condition that the dresses are in though, because this dress in particular seems to have been rented a lot, and RTR should make sure all the dresses are in tip-top shape.

Fun birthday dress!
I usually vary between a small and medium in dresses, and wore the medium, which was pretty tight in itself. Other reviews talk about the fact that the first layer of material not having any give to it, which is true despite the fact that it looks like it would. I wore a NuBra and Spanx with it, because it was tight enough it would have been difficult to fit other undergarments without them showing. I enjoyed wearing it, the color was fun and it was very flattering.

Lots of Sparkle
These came when I ordered the Mystery Bling. They were pretty, but they were a little heavy and they weren't what I would have picked out. I did that on purpose though, because I wanted to see how someone else would have styled the look. They moved a little awkwardly when I danced. They were nice, very sparkly, but not quite right.

I loved this dress for a night out on the town. It looked very classy and elegant. The length was actually shorter than it appears on the model, as others have pointed out, probably 3-4 inches above the knee as I am fairly tall. The skirt is tighter (because there is a tighter liner underneath) and the waist is looser than the picture. I did have a few gripes about it, however. Firstly, when I took it out of the garment bag, it was very wrinkled. If this happens to you, hang it in the bathroom while you shower so the steam straightens it out. Also it was missing a few sections of beading, which weren't obviously visible but I found them upon inspection. As for sizing, I got a size 2 and 4, and wore the size 4 at 135 lbs. I thought the color was more of a tomato red than orange, but to each her own. Overall a wonderful dress, I received lots of compliments, and I've already recommended RTR to all my friends.

Knowing my friends and I looked HOT!
This dress was great! I wore it to our grad school "prom" and it was definitely an attention-grabber, especially from the guys. I wore it with a NuBra, because I wanted to have a little bit more in the chest department. The only issues I found were that the dress had been worn a lot (I noticed this, but no one else would have) and it's not a miracle-worker. The sucking-you-in of a bandage dress can only do so much. Overall, I felt beautiful and enjoyed myself! PS My friend (in purple) was able to wear my Herve Leger back up dress!

Super hot dress! I KNEW I looked good in this one. It was very forgiving and comfortable. I'm a tall girl, but I didn't feel like the length was inappropriate on me. I would recommend the double stick tape or a safety pin. The combo of mine coming undone and a few drinks was very dangerous. Also, the belt is a slightly darker color than the rest of the dress.

Stunning dress, but please take seriously the fact that it runs small! I was unable to wear it, because it snaps in the back and the snaps were going to pop off if I breathed. Also you have to be careful because if the straps in the back are cutting into you, it'll make even non-existant fat pop out. Luckily, my smaller friend was able to fit it (2 sizes bigger than her normal).
