Gorgeous- will be renting this again!
This was a last minute back up dress sent by RTR after my original arrived damaged. It is gorgeous and the material thick and so comfy. I have an event next year I will rent the same dress for (it comes in multiple colors!). It does run large- I still haven't lost all my baby weight and wore a 6 when I know I'm a solid 8 right now.

Most people couldn't tell I'd just had a baby!
I am 5 weeks postpartum and needed a "beach formal" (what the heck is that anyways?!) dress for a wedding. This dress was great- hid my tummy well. I needed the larger size, my chest fit perfectly but if I didn't just have a baby I'm sure there would have been extra room there. Most attendees said they couldn't tell I'd just had a baby! I usually wear a 4 or a 6, but currently 152 lbs so the size 8 is what I needed. I think I'm also a 36DD right now as well.

Sizzling Red Hot!
When I got the dress I noticed the fold that was supposed to be in the front was in the back so I had to flip it. When I did, it was flopping/hanging forward like it was too big. The only size available on this weekend was the 44 so I didn't have the 42 to compare it to. I just flipped it to the back and no one could tell that it was out of place. Coworkers said it actually looked great that way.

Mystery Bling Experience was Awesome!
I ordered the Mystery Bling and I was quite pleased with the overall experience. When I saw this was a cuff I was nervous because they don't normally fit over my hands, but this one had an opening (clamshell type opening) and matched my dress beautifully. And as it was mystery bling it was a fraction of the price of renting it on its own. I will definitely do mystery bling in the future with my rentals and trust the stylists decision. They know their stuff!

Jeweled Champagne Branch Cuff
Oscar de la Renta

Would do this again!
I received an Oscar De La Renta cuff and it went perfectly with my dress. I think the normal rental rate was $50 - for $15 it was a great deal! The cuff was awesome because it had a magnetic open close. I have small wrists but can never fit bangles or closed cuffs over my hands. This was not an issue and super beautiful!

Compliments all night, really plays up your curves
I've been teetering between a 4 and a 6 so I got both just in case and ended up going with the 4. The dress was a little big on top and although I don't usually have problems filling in that area, I found myself in one of those rare occasions where I actually had to wear a padded bra to make sure the dress would stay up. I think the dress looked much better in person than in the picture on this site. Very Jessica Rabbit :-)

The RTR delivery and return experience were fantastic!
I read the reviews from others on this dress and decided to get a size smaller than I would normally wear. The 4 was perfect. The material of this dress makes it perfect for a summer party (a bit on the casual side). The bottom of the dress was a little poofier than I thought it would be (it didn't lay as flat as it looks on the model and I felt a bit marshmellow-ish), but I got compliments all night!
