Fit was strange
Rented this for a wedding and didn't end up wearing it. Pros: -love the shoulder opening/clasp instead of having to finagle awkwardly into the dress Cons: -odd fit: the side zipper is hanging by a thin fabric, so even when you zip up, it looks flimsy -because of the thin zipper, there are parts of the back of the dress that do not lay as flat, which isn't great because you have a large cutout (which is cute in theory), but not cute when the cutout seems to flop around

A unique dress!
I had several wonen at the black tie wedding come up to me and comment on how beautiful the dress is! The back zip up required a bit of help but it wasn't a huge issue. Pockets are always a huge plus and the length was just shy of the floor in the front and I was wearing 3 in heels! I don't usually wear this color- if you're like me though, do yourself a favor and give it a shot!

Loved. It.
This dress was so comfortable and fit perfectly! I was initially a bit worried because i had never tried on a dress with that cutout in the middle. I usually wear a 4 but opted for the 2 which helped the girls stay in place. I wish I had a picture of this dress. The wedding was on a beach so i didnt need shoes, but the dress was at thua really nice length that it grazed against the sand but also looked a nice length with 2 inch sandals. You cannot wear a normal bra with this dress. I woukd suggest the sticky cups (the bow in the middle covered the clip thays in the center of the bra i wore)! You wont regret this rental!

Not flattering for me
This dress fell awkwardly on me. The neckline felt too tight because the body of the dress was too big, so the fabric was hanging off to the back. The midsection was very loose whereas the hip/leg area were tight. I didnt end up wearing this dress because it made me look very wide and boxy.

Great length even for petites!
I actually wore this dress to go from a day-time wedding to an early evening bridal shower. I was so glad that the look of this dress was transitional! One thing to know is the "wrap" part in the front can hike up some, so be on the lookout! The tying part isn't an issue you can just tie it whichever way. But the bottom has a layering thing going on, so make sure that top layer stays put, maybe some fashion tape or just keep an eye on it. Overall, this dress was very comfortable, the material is very light and flowy. And the slightly longer length of this made for a unique look for the day!

Love the print!
I usually rent size 4 from RTR, but after reading some of the reviews, I took a chance and got the size 2 for a backup which was great news for me! The dress ran a teensy bit large because of the open back, so sizing down helped me (there's a small clasp in the back right above the zipper that helps to cinch the "floppy" fabric). The tie in the back was nice because you don't feel like your back is completely exposed (I have a short hairstyle at the moment, and this felt secure in terms of covering a bit of my back, even though I wanted to try something a little bit difference). The print is beautiful- not too bright or overpowering, and it isn't shimmery, ladies! The picture shows some of the flowers to come off a bit "glittery", but rest assured, it's just the lighting and the dress is really pretty in person without the glitter. You will want to get a sticky bra or go without (if you're small enough)!

Neoprene Fun!
Ladies, this dress is a winner. The neoprene material is spectacular- much heavier than I thought it would be, but really feels nice and secure (I was afraid any wind would make the bottom half of the dress go flying). The colors are a lot of fun- perfect splash of colors on a black dress to give a bit of excitement for a winter wedding. I wore this dress in February for my friend's wedding :)

Loved it!
I really liked this dress! The length was modest, yet the way it landed on my body was awesome! Showed off my smaller waist :) Loved the delicate cap sleeve style and the loop in the neck area wasn't as strange as I thought it'd look on me. Pulled my hair up and threw on some nude heels and it was amazing! :) Gave it a 4 star rating though because the bottom of the dress for me made it difficult to walk around in haha maybe I have slightly bigger hips, so something to take into consideration: walking circumference is small!

Fun pop of color for a summer wedding~
The dress was a lovely red orange color, and it had pockets! Sadly, for me, the dress was much shorter than I anticipated, landed at mid-thigh when standing straight, so it was a struggle to keep it down when sitting.The lace around the neck area also proved to be difficult as it didn't lay flat, and kept curling in. I tried using the fabric tape, but it didn't help much either :(

Loved the touch of sparkle on this!
Reading the reviews from all the other ladies, I got my regular size 4 and a size up 6. The 4 was definitely tight in some places and the 6 was looser in some places-- I ended up wearing the 4 for my cousin's wedding. My waist is on the smaller side, so it didn't bother me as much, but the underslip around my legs was tighter than I had anticipated. I didn't get to take a picture of the back, but if you take a look, where the zipper ends and there is fabric up to the button at the neck, that was oddly loose and was slightly puffed out in the back. I actually left my hair down because it looked kind of goofy. The neckline (below the mesh part) sat a little bit lower than anticipated. You are probably better off wearing those gel cup bras-- I actually wore a bandeau bathing suit top (which the back of the strap sat lowers) because my strapless bra was showing in the back. The lace is very pretty and the color is beautiful, but didn't work out as well as I thought it would.

Loved the sequins!!!
The material was heavier than I thought- which was a good thing! Thought it would be a bit flimsy and scratchy because of the sequins, but it was amazing! The dress does run a bit big- I usually wear a 4, but I think a size 2 would've been better. You can wear a regular bra under this but have some of that dress tape in case- my dress was a little flappier around the boobies and I'm not that small! Overall, wonderful feeling, and was a surprise for my husband and guests during outfit change!
