Absolutely loved this dress! Got so many compliments, many from strangers. I felt like the straps made it so unique and I loved the mixed fabrics. I’m a 14/16 and the 1XR was a little roomy in the bust—which is saying something because I have a larger bust (38G). But I pinned it a few places and was fine all night. I’m 5’5” and this juuust barely skimmed the ground with a 3” wedge, so I don’t know that it would work well with higher heels. Overall, it was very comfortable and I would definitely rent again!

Overall, I was very happy w/ this rental. I got lots of compliments & it was totally different from all the other guests. It's very comfortable & TTS if a little big (I'm a 14/16). There are endless options for styling it; just search on YouTube. The really nice thing was that I wanted to wear a bra, so I just chose a style that made that possible. That said, it's plain black, which is a little blah, and depending how you wrap it, the bathroom can be a challenge, but I'd definitely rent again!

I absolutely loved the way this dress fit. It definitely hugged my curves but still felt very classy because of the higher neckline. Super fun print that I decided to go bold with and use a hot pink necklace and lipstick. The material wasn't the nicest I've ever felt, but overall this was a perfect Memorial Day weekend wedding guest dress.

I wanted to love this dress because the color and lace are so fun, but the overall cut was not flattering on my hourglass shape. I guess I didn't realize this dress is more of an empire waist that hit right under my busy and flared out. This dress was also longer than I anticipated; I'm 5'5" and it was below my knees. Those two things combined made me look bigger than I am in this dress. I would size down to the L, but I'm not sure it would fit in the chest. I'm a 38DD at Soma and the XL was very close to fitting perfectly in the bust. Pretty dress, but not sure I'd try again in another size.

The other reviews on this one really threw me off. They made me concerned that my normal size would be too small, particularly in the chest area, so I sized up. I'm a 38DD at Soma and normally wear a 14/16. I rented an 18 and it was reeeally big. Like an extra 6" of fabric big. If anything, I wish I'd sized down so it would stay in place since it's strapless. Lesson learned! If I were to try this again (and I probably will because the print was cute and the fabric stretchy), I'd order my normal size as the main and size down for my backup.

This wound up being a replacement dress after my first choice was too big, but I'm so glad it worked out! This dress was exactly TTS and honestly fit like it was made for me; I'm somewhere between a 14/16 and the 16 was perfect. The slits made it fun & springy but weren't overly revealing or showing under/side boob. I'm around a 38DD at Soma and was able to wear this without a bra with no problem. Just needed the little gel petals to cover my headlights lol. I'm 5'5" and this hit me at the knees. The fabric was stretchy and comfortable and I was not overheated at a warm spring evening wedding. Highly recommend this one!

Overall, I really liked this dress and got lots of compliments all night. Looking at the RTR model photos, I thought it was just a bright yellow--don't be fooled. It is undoubtedly neon highlighter yellow. I didn't mind that at all, but just know what you're getting. I did have to extensively pin the chest so I wouldn't be spilling out (40DD). I tried fashion tape in addition and while I couldn't really get it to work, I'd recommend having it around. I also wore a stick-on plunge bra from Target that worked perfectly with this. The overall fit was good; if it wasn't backless, though, I might have been in trouble. It may be because I have larger hips & thighs, but the wrap portion of the skirt in front seemed ready to blow open at any moment when I was walking and I did have to awkwardly bunch it when seated to avoid flashing my delicates. This was a last minute overnighted backup I got when my first choice didn't fit, so overall I was happy with it, but not sure I'd rent it again just because it required so much alteration to get it to work (pins, tape, special bra, etc).

I was able to get the dress on my body, but by no means would I say it fit, lol. It was super tight and had my boobs spilling out when I sat down. I obviously didn't end up wearing it for my event, which was an indoor spring wedding, but I could imagine the fabric being a little warm. I also felt it would need some jewelry to punch it up a little as the dress itself wasn't terribly exciting.

I liked this dress overall, but my main complaint, and the reason I would not rent it again, was the length. I'm 5'5" and I couldn't raise my arms without the dress riding way, way too high. Overall, though, the fit and fabric were nice and I really liked the color for a spring wedding.

I was so thrilled with this dress. I have a large chest (38G) and had no problem with the fit there. It's comfortable and light enough for summer. I wore it with a belt because otherwise it was very triangular & tent-like on me. Highly recommend!

I loved wearing this dress and it felt so perfect at the Kentucky Derby. I straddle the line between regular and plus size, and because this dress isn't fitted at the hips, it worked for me. It was very comfortable in the ribcage and hit maybe 2 inches above my knee. However, I'm between a DDD and a G-cup, and it zipped up no problem, but it did give me the dreaded uni-boob, hence the 4-star rating. I didn't care because it still looked great. And I didn't have to wear a bra! A luxury I can rarely afford. The dress itself was in great condition. Overall, another RTR success!

This dress was really beautiful and in amazing shape, no wear on the bottom hem or snags in the lace. Once I saw the material, I realized the dress is a little dressier than I thought it would be, which I was okay with. I had planned to dress it down with a long, delicate pendant necklace, little gold rings and maybe a flower or feather in a low bun. I'm a little over 5'5" and the 12R was just the right length. I could have gone with flats or a 2-3" kitten heel. Unfortunately, no matter how I tried, I couldn't get my ta-tas to fit. I'm a little over a DD and they ended up looking like 2 mis-shapen blobs on my chest. I could have CRIED, I was so excited to wear this dress. I think if you're a D, you might be able to pull it off, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for anyone chestier than that. I ended up doing a return for fit credit-- I couldn't find the link for it in my profile, so I emailed RTR and one of their awesome customer service reps told me he did the form for me and it was in my account within 48 hours. Can't beat the service here!

I unfortunately ended up not being able to wear this dress. I was going to a fancy dinner with my boyfriend and people from his company (including his boss & his boss' boss) and it was just too tight around my hips and butt. I also wasn't thrilled with the material in person. I love the color, but it looks like sequins in the picture. In reality, it's just a flat print on the dress. Wasn't really dressy enough for my event and I learned the hard way that shifts are not for the full of hips ;) Of course, RTR's customer service was amazing and gave me a rental credit, no questions asked, even though I missed the last shipment for the day at my local UPS.

I loved the color and really unique bib on this dress. It was so fun and different than what everyone else was wearing. I got tons of compliments and people were so blown away when I explained RTR to them. I'm normally a 12 in the hips and thighs but a 10 everywhere else, so I was pretty nervous to order the 10 when the 12 wasn't available on my date as a backup, but it fit pretty well! The reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the fit-- for a DD gal it was a little snug in the chest, but with that lace bib, you can't tell a thing. The inner lining, though, has no stretch, unlike the purple fabric, so that was a liiiiitle snug on my booty and thighs, but it didn't make the dress too scandalous. (I wore it to a church and wasn't immediately excommunicated so that was good.) Curvy ladies can definitely rock this one. Loved it!

I wore this necklace dressed down the night before the wedding with a plain black tee and jeans and then the day of the wedding dressed up with the Nanette Lepore dress I also rented in the picture. It looked great both ways. When I first saw it online I thought it was a solid steel grey color but closer inspection showed it was see-through. The diamonds around the edge give it a really great unique flair and I LOVED the fact that the large statement pendant was on a dainty gold chain. I was afraid I might break the chain because it is pretty thin for such a large pendant, but I was careful with it, just in case. I was SO tempted to keep this, because I could see myself wearing it with anything, but if you love something, you have to let it go...
