One of my favorites
This was a back-up that was sent to me overnight because the original dress I ordered did not fit well. I was so happy I got this dress. It's very flattering and I did not need any "Spanx". The bust was tight but it was tight enough to be able to go braless without any issues. My only thing was I wish the slit on the side was a little more noticeable. One of my favorite rentals!

Wanted to love it so bad....
I really love the look of this dress however I found it to be very awkward. It was very tight on the bust so had to go braless but I didn't feel like there was enough support to go braless. I tried the 10L as well but it was way too baggy on my hips even though the bust fit great. Must have very proposal measurements for this to work!

Awkward fitting
So the pros we're this dress and color are beautiful and I was very comfortable the whole night. However I found the fitting very awkward and with all the Ruffles made me look like I was swimming in this dress. It was very tight on the bust area however the strap was hanging off me and under the arm pit was baggy. It was also extremely baggy on the hips. If you have wide hips then this dress may be a good fit for you. It just wasn't for me.

Beautiful but tight!
I loved the look of this dress and the coloring is gorgeous! however be ready with Spanx! - I had a one piece slip type thing to wear but had to change it out for actual Spanx. I would have just gone ahead and wore the large, but the length was much longer and gave it an awkward look.

Beautiful dress but tough sizing
Unfortunately for me, I happened to be in between sizes for this dress- medium was too tight and large wasn't tight enough. There is a good amount of stretch to it so if you are "hippy" this dress would be perfect. I am not therefore when I went up to the large it zipped comfortably on my bust but was way too loose on my hips. Also felt that it runs small. I am usually a 6 or 8 and needed the large in this dress. But the dress is beautiful and comfortable!

Not my favorite but still great
So I wanted to love this dress more than I did. If you feel comfortable going without a bra then this is for you. I'm a 36c and still found the chest loose on the 8. Normally with another dress a bra would fill it out. Also the sides are cut in a lot so a backless bra that sticks on the sides are a no go. The only think that would work is a "nubra". It's a gorgeous dress but personally wasn't comfortable.

Sad I didn't get to wear
I loved the look of this dress. Unfortunately I never got to wear. I rented a medium and large. The medium was a bit tight and the material doesn't have any stretch to it. There was an issue with the large so I ended up going with a completely different dress (thank you amazing RTR customer service) you will definitely need to be ready with a steamer as the material wrinkles easily. Also the color really is coral-not Orange as the picture depicts. Hopefully I will be able to rent this again In Large

Unexpectedly great!
I had an issue with my initial order so this dress was a last minute choice. I am so happy it was. I am usually between a 6 and 8 and had to wear the 8 because of my chest size. Even though it was loose on my hips it didn't look bulky. The material is very thick and flattering. The wedding I attended was a little more casual than normal and this ended up being simple enough without being boring.

Looks good but terrible material
I really wanted to love this dress but couldn't. It photographs well but it is a very thin, clingy, cheap material. I've bought dresses at Express that have been a better, more flattering material. Black shapewear is an absolute must. But turned out to be a little difficult because of the high slit. Be aware of the length as well. I am only 5'4" and wearing heels, I ended up needing the long length...RTR customer service is amazing though- I got regular lengths in two sizes that were way too short-RTR overnighted me the long length!

Beautiful but it for me
Dress was gorgeous and comfortable and received many compliments. However it just wasn't for me. I am pretty slim in the hips and I personally felt this style of dress made me seem "wide". The dress it self was great so if you like this style then I totally recommend it!

Amazing!
Wore this for NYE to a bar. It was perfectly to be a little casual and a little dressy! Fit great but the length was a little awkward. It seemed to bunch on the bottom not matter what shoes I tried on with it. The sequins did scratch under my arms a bit but that's to be expected. Also the zipper was extremely difficult to get up and down.

Wonderful dress!
Very flattering. Runs a bit small. Good thing I got the size up as back up. By the end of the night the wiring in the chest area was starting to take its toll on me. But overall it was worth it!

Great dress! Runs really big!
This dress has A LOT of give to it. I rented the small and medium and wore the small. I wish I got the small and extra small. I honestly think trying on the extra small would have been worth a shot. The dress fit and looked good but sometimes the side wear the zipper was would bunch up a lot probably because there is so much give to the dress (hence why I am holding my bag how I am in the pic) All and all its a great dress!!! But definitely go down a size, and two sizes for back up!
