Great dress!
I absolutely loved this dress and received so many compliments on it! My only gripe is that only a small was available, and I probably would have been more comfortable in a medium, which is my normal size. Also why I rated this dress to be true to size. Like others have mentioned, it’s great that you can wear a regular bra with it, I just used some fashion tape to keep it in place so it wouldn’t show. The fit around the stomach area is quite snug, which is the main reason I think a medium would have been a better choice for me.

Love!
I got so many compliments on this cute little purse. It is nice to have the option to rent an accessory because I truly felt like it was big enough for what I needed to bring but not cumbersome. Others at the event mentioned how nice it would be to not have to haul around their day purse and I agreed haha.

It was … good
While the dress has a lot of great qualities like color and stretch, the slit was so high that it was uncomfortable and sitting was challenging. I will say I was relying on size 6 - and they were unable to send it at the last minute, so I only received size 4. Because it is so stretchy, I was still able to wear it - but I think the 6 would have fit and made me much more comfortable. Overall, I wouldn’t rent again - but it worked for the evening.

Loved dress overall-didn’t love straps
Fit true to size - and was mostly comfortable. Plus, I liked how it looked. I just felt like I had to mess with the straps all night and constantly pull the dress up.. which is one of the reasons I usually use RTR-fashion that doesn’t leave me fidgeting or feeling self conscious.

Size up
The other sizing recommendations were so helpful to me - I am usually a 4/6, I ordered 8/10 and ended up wearing the 10. The turtleneck on the 8 felt soooo constricting. Otherwise, it was warm (formal event in Montana in December) and comfortable. I got a lot of compliments and would recommend it.

Fun and casual
Wore this for family photos and it was a really fun fit. The dress felt casual to me. I usually wear a 6 and I ended up wearing the 4, so I feel it probably runs a bit small. warning : do not bend over, or make sure you're wearing spank haha! It is a nice length when you are standing but will show everything if you aren't careful. I would get this dress again, despite that.

I got this to try for fun with my membership. Luckily it fell on a time when I needed a dress up costume. It runs small and is a little too edgy for me ordinarily. I have a fairly long torso and it was maybe made for someone shorter/smaller.

Perfect lightweight dress for wedding.
Fit was great, I was one month postpartum and went one size up from my usual. Fit perfectly. The length was regular, and was a bit long but nothing crazy. I could have worn two inch heels and been good too.

Lucky I fit in this dress with my 8 month pregnant bump!
This dress is truly a gorgeous dress. I would say the fit is true to size, besides the length. Since I am 8 months pregnant and regularly wear a 4, I rented a 6L and an 8R (assuming the 8 would have a naturally longer length). I am 5'6 and would have been much more comfortable in an 8, but not kidding, the 8R skimmed my calves. I have never worn a long in my life, so I guess this was a first! My heels were 3 inches and the L was perfect length. The material of the dress is very stretchy and forgiving-so perfect for a pregnant person. The slit is so high, I wish I would have safety pinned it down a little so I could have sat all night without covering my exposed thigh, but it is definitely what makes the dress feel so sexy. Also, I have ordered from RTR before and this was my first negative experience. When asking for help with fit since I knew my size would be way different, all they said was "check the bump friendly section." When my dresses came and I would have been most comfortable in an 8L, I contacted them and didn't feel I got a good enough response in order to feel confident that a new dress would come in time, considering you have to return your other dresses within 24 hours unworn. I was disappointed in that, but very happy I could squeeze into the 6 and was showered in compliments by my hubby. :)

Several girls came up to me after the ceremony just to ask where I got my dress! So flattering.
I loved wearing this dress. It was the perfect dress to wear to my fiance's National Guard Officer Candidate Graduation. I got the 2 adn 4...4 was a little loose and 2 was a little tight, but I went with the 2 because I felt like it pinched my waist and was more flattering. On both dresses, on the back where the small band goes around the waist, the zipper appeared as if it was pulling, but it was not. That would be my only complaint and how much I loved the dress and how comfy it was definitely out-weighs that small dysfunction!

I consider myself most comfortable in size 4, but I wore the size 2 because it was a lot more flattering. It was so comfortable and the right amount of dressy for my small, intimate bridal shower in my aunt's home. I got many compliments and it made my day even more perfect. Thanks RTR!

Wanted a fun bachelorette party dress and this was perfect!
I loved this dress. I wore an XS for dinner and pictures because it looked way better and didn't fall down on me like the small did. However, the zipper on the XS was so challenging it took several bridesmaids to zip it up and down for me. I changed in to the small to go out because i didnt want the girls with me to struggle getting my dress off at 3am. Besides those misfortunes, the dress helped make my night the best send off into married life:)

Perfect dress for the wedding!
I loved this dress. It fit perfectly...however, if you're wondering whether to size up or down, I'd size up because it definitely hugged my body and was pretty short. I rented this for a Mid-July wedding in a church without air conditioning and it was not hot nor did it stick much to my skin so I was so happy with it. Got many compliments!

Such a fun ring to pair with a dress. If I rented it for longer I would have paired it with a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt to go out with too! I wore it on two different fingers throughout the night because it was a little tight, but not uncomfortable when shifted around.

I love a dress with pockets!
I loved wearing this dress to a casual outdoor wedding, I paired it with Sam Edelman wedges. I had a couple concerns upon receiving it: #1, the smell. It didn't smell like it had been washed (I tried it on and found bubbles and a piece of paper in the pocket as well). I hung it on a hanger to let it "air out" over night and it did smell better for the event. #2, it is a little tight around the chest/ arms so I would definitely order a size up (per other reviews). I tried the 6 on, but it didn't fit as well around the waist. So I sacrificed the smaller size and a little tightness in the arms that came with it.
