Perfect comfy LBD
I loved the soft fabric of this dress. The cinching just under the chest made for a nice fit. I want to purchase this dress.

Wore 7 months pregnant. Lots of compliments
I wore this to a work event at seven months pregnant. It is one of those dresses that I think is actually better looking on me pregnant than not. I say that because it is formfitting and may not be as forgiving when not pregnant. I loved the cut outs, they added an extra style flair to the otherwise seemingly average dress. The material was very comfortable and stretchy. Hope to try this dress again after pregnancy.

Wore 6 months pregnant
Wore this to a work presentation at 6 months pregnant. Great fit and got lots of compliments. It smelled of dry cleaning chemicals and the lace is worn, which is why I give it a 4 rating. Looked good, though.

Compliments all night. Wore it 6 months pregnant.
I had six events in one month at six months pregnant, so I decided to try rent the runway unlimited for a month. I bought this dress two sizes up and it fit great. I got compliments all night and people asking where I got the dress. I'm not sure how to guide you on what size to get if you are not pregnant, but it did feel like if I were not pregnant it ran a tiny bit big. It was very comfortable, very easy to put on, and very flattering. I had three options to choose from for this event and this one one out. I didn't need to wear it with any jewelry since it sparkles on its own.

6 months pregnant
I had to choose among 3 dress styles for a formal work event at 6 months pregnant. I liked every dress but didn't choose this one because the sequins were very itchy in my arms. Also, the sequins made the material bunch up. Liked how it looked but I didn't choose this one, but still wanted to show you what it looks like on someone pregnant.

6 months pregnant
This is a style I chose not to wear for a formal work event. I would have been happy with any of the dresses I received, but I ultimately didn't choose this one because my bra was showing and I would have needed a jacket. Wanted to share a photo so you could see someone pregnant in the dress.

Great dress for a summer date.
This was a great summer dress for Fourth of July weekend parties and a date. I was able to wear a bra with it, but did wear a cardigan over it to cover my arms and straps sticking out. It was very flowy, but I didn't fear it blowing up in the wind. I am busty and was worried about the waistline, but it looked great on me. This should be a dress that will look great on many body types!

Gorgeous. Flattering. Comfortable. Compliments ALL NIGHT!
This dress is everything. It's comfortable, flattering, and SO gorgeous. I got compliments all night - AND I felt great all night. I ordered two sizes and definitely went with the smaller size, so do order a smaller size than what you normally wear. I was worried it would look shapeless on me, but it definitely did not. I was also worried I'd look too nude with the color, but that was also not a problem. My husband said I looked like a glass of champagne. There were even snaps inside the lining to hold your bra in place so it doesn't slip around. Very nice touch! I would have never tried this on if I'd seen it on the rack, but seeing it on a model and others on RTR made me make the purchase. Wish I could have kept this one.

Earrings really finished the outfit.
Very simply, beautiful earrings that bring color to any outfit. I wore it BOTH for my graduation and the party afterward. I wore a professional dress for graduation, and a sparkly cocktail dress for the party - the earrings worked great with both.

Reviews spot on. Got compliments all night. Felt like cinderella.
This was my first time using RTR, so I was skeptical, but I needed something for a black tie event. What convinced me to buy were the reviews and pictures of REAL women wearing this dress. Everything they said was spot on. The dress does run a bit big. I could have probably gone a size down, but as you can see you can't really tell. I ordered two sizes and ended up wearing the smaller size. It was so, so comfortable. I was never spilling out and I got to wear my own bra with it. I was getting compliments ALL NIGHT from everyone, AND on the picture I posted across social media. I felt so beautiful and wanted to keep the dress forever. The person who wrote, "This dress really IS all that and a bag of chips" is spot on. I can't wait to use RTR again for my birthday. Take note it looked a tad long, but nothing a pair of short heels can fix. You can even see my toes poking out in the pic. Someone noted that the material felt cheap. I agree, but that doesn't really matter as it LOOKED fabulous.
