Perfect
The long was actually too long, I'm 5'8 and in 3.5" heels it was dragging on the ground. Gorgeous color, and a strapless bra was easy enough.

Definitely runs big
I didn't heed the warnings--I'm a six in most designers, but the M was huge. Looked great on my friend though!

Lovely dress, better for winter
Went with my backup since it was more fun for an outdoor wedding in the summer, but this was elegant and interesting.

Vegas Bachelorette
This was perfect for Vegas, since its absurd in almost every other situation but on point for clubbing. It was fun going to the brick and mortar store after renting so much online.

A Bride's Review
This is literally perfect for bridesmaids. It fits and flatters every size and shape (even has plus size counterparts!) and is way cheaper than making your girls buy a dress that they'll never rewear. The glitzy look was perfect for my winter wedding. Tips for brides: look on the calendar for how far out you can order, and do it right away. Sign up for a pro account and order them all at once. I was able to have some overlapping "backup" sizes and "second styles" so that the average actually came out to less than $70 a girl. I did have about half of my dresses get marked damaged a few days before, with notices that they wouldn't be coming, so that was stressful, but luckily RTR came through and got me some other sizes. This is another reason this dress is great for a bridal party--you can wear about two sizes up from your normal size and it still looks great, since it "slinks" down. To avoid this kind of panic, order more than you think you need, and maybe consider doing the 8-day rental. All in all, it was a bit of a high risk/high reward situation, but my girls looked and felt great.

Perfect for a summer wedding
The 2L was grazing the floor even with 4" heels on me, so this would work for tall ladies. Loved the pattern, but you better have a tan!

Off the beaten path
An interesting and well-made dress. The straps were too long but I was able to tie them up to shorten them.

Flattering Cut
I got this on Unlimited. The seams on the back and the hemline on the back are well designed and really flatter. I usually wear a 4, but the 2 fit great. I didn't notice before I saw it in person, but the sleeves have zippers from the cuff to the elbow. I sent it back without wearing, but only because it didn't make the cut for graduation. While the back was great, I was worried the front was just ok for pictures.

Cute skirt.
As a tall person, finding a lady-like hem length is a challenge. This skirt was great.

Odd fit
As a slightly pear-shaped individual, it is rare that I find a dress that is too tight on top and oddly baggy on bottom; this dress fit that description, unfortunately. It was oddly tight on the collarbone, which was really uncomfortable.

Lovely dress, runs small
RTR was sold out of this dress in a 6, so I took a chance and squeezed into a 4. Definitely runs small, and it was pretty tight on my lower half with no give in the fabric. I still had a great time--in spite of not being able to take large strides! Would definitely rent it again.
