Most compliments I've ever received!
I stressed over which dress to get for this gala and waited so long that this was my only option...but it should have been my first choice! I LOVED wearing it, and got compliments from so many people. I felt confident and beautiful all night. I was worried that the placement of the cutout would make it difficult to wear high waisted Spanx, but even my highest ones did not show. With a B cup I didn't need to wear a bra, and I had a tasteful amount of lower cleavage. The length worked well for me as someone short and petite; it came to about my ankle and showed the right amount of shoe, even for a formal event. I also loved how this looks like a halter from the front and comes down like regular straps in the back—very comfortable! I highly recommend this dress!

First rental post-pregnancy, and this dress did not disappoint! Felt beautiful and confident!
Thanks again to the customer support people at RTR—my original rental was not available in either size, so after letting them know this was my first rental post-pregnancy, they helped me search for a replacement and style my outfit. LOVED this! It accentuated my smallest parts and hid my post-baby belly. The fabric was a little stiff, but not in a bad way—just sturdy. I liked it. Received many compliments throughout the night!

Wanted to keep it, still getting compliments on Facebook!
I love this dress so much (I wish RTR had an option to buy!) I usually wear a 2 and that zipped right up no problem. Very flattering! I wore it to a Bat Mitzvah, and it was comfortable to dance in all night. Not only did I get a lot of compliments on the day, but after I posted it to Facebook, I had many people complimenting me and asking where I got it! Would recommend to you, and I would rent again.

Shoulders were big, but I got many compliments in the dress!
I rented this dress for my vacation in Las Vegas and intended to wear it out dancing. Unfortunately I got sick that night, and the morning I had to return it, my husband dressed up with me and we did a photo shoot in the casino :) I thought the dress fit well everywhere except the shoulders. It didn't lay flat, and kept riding up as a walked. Plus the low "v" back wasn't laying flat and kept popping up. A few pieces of double stick body tape would have done the trick. The length for me (being petite) would have been better as is for a wedding, but if I really was going to wear it out in Vegas to a club I would have used hem tape to shorten it. Fun dress though! I recommend it!

Made me feel beautiful on my anniversary night in Las Vegas!
I've had my eye on this dress for a WHILE and I was not disappointed when I finally had the opportunity to wear it! It ran true to size, and it was form fitting yet comfortable. The length as is would have been fine for my height if I was wearing it to a wedding, but I was also looking for more of a mini dress like the model in the picture. I did read from a previous review of another petite person that the dress fell a little too long for her, so she used hem tape to adjust the length—so I bought a package with my dress. However, because the dress has a separate lining, it took twice as many pieces of hem tape than other dresses, and it didn't hem 100% great...plus it was difficult to remove the tape from the delicate lace at the end of the night. Overall, amazing dress! Wanted to keep it!

This dress has a gorgeous print, but ran very big. I still got complimented, though!
I loved the print on this dress and the fabric looked very comfortable and flow-y for a destination wedding I was going to. I actually wore it to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. I am typically a 2, and I'll rent a 2 and a 4, but based on reviews that said the dress ran big, I got a 2 and a 0. I could have used a 00! It was still very big. The bust area is probably better suited for C cup and larger - it drooped a bit too much. The top was also slipping off my shoulders. I'm a pretty petite girl (aka short) and this wasn't that flattering on me. Still a beautiful print!

Though these earrings weren't for me, I showed them to my sister and she said she'd rent them too!
I loved these earrings, but they were heavier than expected and didn't choose to wear them on the night of my Bachelorette Party (I have tiny ears!) I would recommend them though if your ears are sturdier.

Too big and boxy, Returned it
I was very excited to wear this dress to a wedding, but when I received it, the smallest size was stil too big. It was even boxier than a sheath dress, and not very flattering. It was also too long for a short girl like me. I sent it back for store credit.

I got several compliments on my dress throughout the night!
I LOVED wearing this dress! I rented it for my Bachelorette party at the end of April in Philly. I thought it was incredibly comfortable - it has a sweatshirt lining which others have said makes it more of a Fall/Winter dress, but I disagree. I wasn't too hot in it, and we did drinks and dancing. The cap sleeves are a little snug, but I was expecting worse from those who complained about them in their reviews. They were just fine. For me, I'm 5 feet tall and about 115 lb...I ordered a 2 and a 4 and went with the 2. The length was perfect - a cute little mini skirt. I would definitely recommend it!
