Full Cowgirl Skirt
I added some boots and a hat and turned this into a fun outfit for a western event. It fits true to size and the full skirt really makes for a flattering waistline. It is heavier than I thought, with thick fabric and a petticoat but still easy to dance all night.

Beautiful dress with a full skirt
The dress runs large. I ordered a 2 but had to size down to a 0. It’s very flattering and the full skirt was a little more full than I expected but made my waist look tiny! The colors were vibrant and beautiful. I would recommend for a fall wedding.

10 Year Anniversary Dress
This was the perfect dress to wear for our 10 year wedding anniversary! It made me feel special and really stand out at the line dancing bar we went to. I got compliments all night! The sleeves are a lot, so be prepared for that, but overall it fit great and contrary to the other reviews, I felt like I could move in it really well. The zipper zips up and down, in the back, the full length of the dress so I zipped it to make a little slit and with that extra flexibility, danced the night away.

Beach Wedding Vibes
This dress was perfect! The fabric is stretchy so I could have gone with the x-small or the small. I went with the small so I wouldn’t have to keep adjusting / pulling the skirt down all night, as it hiked up my thigh. They fit similar but the straps on the small were longer so I did have to pin them, with safety pins. Other than that, it was an amazing dress to wear. Bold colors, velvet fabric and so much fun!

This dress was so much fun to wear for the rehearsal dinner at a beach wedding! The trail however was a little long and kept getting tangled up in my heel. If you are short, I recommend wearing with a chunky heel or just hold it when walking / dancing.

Runs Large and Long
The top fits great and held me in much better than I imaged, even with the low plunge. However, I’m only 5’2” and even with heels the dress was dragging on the ground. Overall it was fun and my husband LOVED it but I would size down if I were to rent again.

This dress is a gorgeous color with nice, thick fabric that is very flattering. It runs small - I got a 6 and it fit like a 2. Highly recommend!

Old timey vibe
This dress was a little more traditional / conservative than I was envisioning but it worked out great for a winter rehearsal dinner. I added a belt to separate the tight fit across my hips from the loose blousy top.

Fun with boots
I have narrow shoulders so the wide cut and shoulder pads were a lot up top but the short length balanced it out. It was cute and fun with tall boots. Great for a festive rehearsal dinner.

Company Holiday Party
This was a great dress for a corporate holiday party. The sleeves were fun, even though they occasionally slipped off the shoulder. The slit added some pizazz. The rib cage was tight so I sized up.

Runs small and is not flattering
I wanted to love this dress but it did not fit as expected. I am all about dresses with pockets but it was tight on my hips so the pockets only made my hips bulge out more. Overall it was fine but not my favorite RTR.

Beach Wedding
This dress was great for a beach wedding. I’m pretty flat chested so the top was fine without a bra or tape. The slit is very high so wear nude underwear. I went with the XS so the top felt more secure but the S fit fine too and the slit was a little less va-va-voom.

Super cute dress but I’m normally a 0-2 and I couldn’t even zip the 4. The 6 fit great. I liked the versatility of the sleeves and wore them up and off the shoulder throughout the night. Great for a white party on the beach.

Sexy but still classy
This was the perfect dress for a black tie wedding. I was expecting the top to be more of a corset but it was not as structured as it looks. That was great because it was more comfortable, however, it didn’t create the waistline I was hoping for. Either way, loved the dress and received compliments all night.

Great colors and fabric
I received compliments all night! This dress was a thick (almost quilt) fabric that was very flattering. I’m short and small chested so it fit great up top but was a little long. Even with heels I was stepping on the back all night. Regardless I loved everything about this dress, especially the pockets.

This Dress Was Everything!
Beautiful color, thick fabric, sassy slit, it was the perfect dress for a wedding. Other reviews warned me about long straps so I got my normal size but in petite and it worked great. No safety pins (or bra) necessary.

Perfect for a summer wedding!
It has a flattering fit and the material had enough structure that a bra was not necessary, which was good because it would have been hard to find one that worked with the low back. The dress has pockets and I absolutely loved wearing it!

This was the perfect Halloween costume dress, however, I don't know if I would have felt comfortable in it for an actual wedding or formal occasion. It was fun and fit great, but it was very revealing.

Fun dress for a country concert
I'm only 5'2" and the dress was very short on me so I would not recommend for someone tall. That being said, it was a fun dress to wear for a casual, country concert.

The open back was the best part!
I liked the dress because it was conservative in length and overall cut, but had a fun, open back. However, lace was thick enough to go without a bra so there was no need to try and figure out something backless and strapless. I will warn you that when giving hugs, I think people were surprised to touch skin ha.

Beautiful Neckline
The dress runs small so I would recommend renting a size up. The cut was flattering and the neckline was beautiful but since it runs across the arms it was a little difficult to raise my arms for dancing. I would recommend renting with the Jenny Packham necklace. I got so many commitments on the necklace!

Classy yet Sassy
The dress is beautiful. Although it is tight, the pattern and material hide a lot so I would recommend renting down a size so it fits your frame better, if you have a small one.

This dress was great but a little shorter than I had imagined. I ended up wearing a size 2 instead of a 0 for some additional length.

The dress fit true to size and was great for a summer wedding. The colors are beautiful and look nice with tan / olive skin. I really liked the open back and the fabric was thick enough that I went without a bra, no problem.

Perfect New Years Eve dress!
I love this dress! It was flattering and it sparkled without being too over the top. There is no back to the dress so you can't wear a bra, however, the thick fabric made that a non-issue.

The dress was true to size and the top fit like a glove so I didn't have to constantly pull it up. The fabric is thick and lays nicely. The dress has pockets too. What more could you want? This was great for a country club wedding.

This dress was perfection. I felt gorgeous in the beautiful, thick fabric and bold color.
It fit true to size. The fabric does not breathe very well so it was a little hot for a humid NY wedding but it was worth it.
