Voluminizing.
I didn't wear the dress -- it made me look 10x bigger than I was. It's so pretty but it just has too much volume. It would be great on someone who doesn't have much of a shape! I ended up wearing my other dress that I rented.

Gorgeous color, great fit, lots of fun!
I loved this dress!! I wore it for my sorority semi-formal and everyone complimented me on the color. I didn't end up wearing the sash -- I thought it added extra body/detail to the dress where it didn't really need it. I wish I could buy this dress. RTR, can you help me find it?? All in all, really flattering style, fun color, great rental!

Homecoming Queen Dress
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 4"
Bust: 36C
Chic and fun
I really liked this dress! I wore it to a nighttime Bar Mitzvah and it was beautiful. The bust is VERY low, and I am busty and had trouble with it being too low. Nothing too terrible, though! The rest of the dress fit me perfectly, but I'm a pretty solid 12 and I can see how people would say it runs large. If you're between sizes, definitely order both. But all in all, really fun and chic dress to wear to any occasion! Definitely recommend for those with a womanly figure, as the shape of the dress is extremely flattering.

Run Wild Dress

I hated this dress. I thought the beads on the halter looked cheap and the color was SERIOUSLY purple. The halter was also just too big on me and I just really didn't think the dress was pretty at all. Good thing I rented another dress with it!

Beware of the back!
I rented this for my sorority formal and am SO glad I rented a Rebecca Taylor dress as well. Good: It looked amazing in the front because it is loose. It is GORGEOUS. Seriously, it's named well, because it IS a showstopper! Bad: The bust was a little too big (and I'm busty, so that was surprising) and the arms were falling down when I tried it on. In the back, beware if you are curvy (I have a tush) or have any back fat because it is pretty tight in the back. The zipper didn't work well and the hook and eye looked like it was about to fall off. I had to take a risk with the size because my rental date was taken with the next size up. Overall, know your body and get a backup size or a backup dress.

Beaded Necklace Halter Dress

I'm not a small girl, and this dress did AMAZING things for me. It accentuated my curves really well. The draping in the front was great because I don't have a flat stomach. The only thing that I can complain about was the zipper on the back. It was really hard to get up not because of the fit of the dress, but because of the quality of the zipper. However, despite that, I LOVED it so much that I ended up buying it from somewhere else. Gorgeous dress, love love love it!
