Cool for casual cool for dressed up
Loved this "coat/vest" wore it on a date then to work them lent it to my friend (pictured) she is 5'4 I'm 5'6 worked great on both of us. I would live to own this. I'd love to rent it with a strapless black jumpsuit that would be so hot!

FITS SOOOO well! I loved this dress
I felt great it fit amazingly! Three other girls happened to wear this dress to the same party, but it didn't matter it looked amazing on ALL of us we almost got a group photo super flattering to any size 0 - size 10.

Great easy dress!
I wore this on the plane and then out exploring on my first day of a trip in New Orleans (as you can see my cemetery picture above.) I belted it to give it a more defined waist since I am a curvier gal and need the definition. Loved it. I recommend it

"Look how it flutters as she walks, just gorgeous" Said some woman behind me as I walked down stairs
FYI RUNS SO SMALL A TRUE SIZE 6 LIKE MYSLEF NEEDED A SIZE 12! But it fit perfectly. Having to size up so much was annoying, Reem Acra needs a reality check, but other than that I was the bell of the ball or gala as it were. Everyone loved my dress. I looked like a million bucks without spending anything close to the $8,000 retail. I love RTR for letting us normal gals dress like this. I would like to hope that Melinda Gates saw my beaded bodice and smiled from the podium in delight during her speech.... well a girl can dream can't she?

Beautiful and comfortable
I went with my back up but this fit wonderfully for a fuller chested gal, there was cleavage but the top kept it in and wasn't too tight even though I am a 36D. I WOULD RENT AGAIN

tight in the hips and made for larger busts
I have an hourglass shape a size 6 top and 8 hips but i have a small waist, most all dresses i get fit fine in the hips or slightly tight but this one couldn't even slid over my hips. Oddly The top was fine for a bustier girl. Basically this dress is sized in the hips. If you are not a true size int he hips of the size you got it will be too tight or too big.

Tight around waist and hips but roomy in the bust
I rented this for a special occasion / black tie optional event and it just didn't fit right. If I had smaller hips the 6 May have fit, my usual size, but I sized up to an 8 for the hips and the just ended up being too roomy. Maybe with a good push up bra it may have worked but the dress has an inner corset/Bralette and I think it would just have felt heavy with all of that

Loved it but wore my other rental
Loved it but was a bit tight. I got a size up I'm usually a 6 because all the other reviews said true to size when they wore their regular size but it looked right on them so I wore an 8. Loved my other rental better so I didn't wear it.

Awesome colors, great fabric, and a good cut
The 6 would have been fine too but the 8 allowed for a bit more room in the bust which I need sometimes as a 36D, but waist and hips fit well. Love the cute detail pockets. I hereby swear never to wear a dress without pockets again... It just isn't as fun.

Wore this to my sister's rehearsal dinner. Loved it and it covered my boot for my broken foot
Wore this to my sister's rehearsal dinner. Loved it and it covered my boot for my broken foot. I am 5'6 so the 6 R was perfect to just skim the floor on me when i tightened the straps. I wore flats because I had a boot on my right foot from a foot fracture, but you would never know from the pictures. It was perfect and I got so many compliments.

Loved the open back even though I covered it with a jacket
I loved this dress! I broke my foot and wanted a maxi that would cover my boot and it did a great job! It has a open sexy back that I would have loved to sport, but I wore it to a meet the family dinner and covered the back with a cropped jean jacket. It looked great I loved the silk feel. People gave me so many compliments!!! Oh and I went bra less and just adjusted the straps to hold the ladies up. Will rent again.

I was the bell of the ball for New Years. Loved this sparkler!!!
It fit wonderfully. No issue. It would have been short without tights for my comfort level but you can see from the picture that it was a great length. Loved it and would rent again, and again, and again!

I usually wear a 6 and didn't think to get a back up size but it was too roomy in the bodice to wear. Definitely size down for backup, I should have gotten a 4

5 GOLD STARS ON THIS ONE
It is just as god in person as it is on the model. I am usually a solid size 6 in most all RTR dresses I have rented but the 4 worked on me. So it RUNS LARGE. It was still more fitted than the look of the model, my regular size 6 would have been more loose, but I had no problem wearing the 4 for a bit of a more fitted body con look. Love it !!!

cute but not for my body type
I have bigger hips, usually an 8 in the hips and 6 up top, so i go for A line dresses that allow room in the hips. I thought this was one of those, but now quite. It does come out with a cute little skirt on the bottom, but it hits as the widest part of me, which then rides up which then bunches around the tummy.. not so flattering, on me at least. But still great overall.

Pattern is so awesome
This is a great dress for fall. But be cautious if you are busty. I am a 36D and I first tried this on with a slight pushup bra. THE MODEL HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CHEST, because you can't tell the V comes down really far! I had to wear a minimizer bra and to make it look modest but I wore a black cami underneath and a scarf to make it feel more fall/ modest Also: I wore a 10 UK which is a 6 US size and it fit very true to size
